fix: --no-downloads no longer blocks model loading (#1510)

When --no-downloads is passed, skip download checks in plan() so
pre-staged models can be loaded without DownloadCompleted events.

 [] try-except in _command_processor only excepts ValueError. This was silently failing leading to un-debuggable errors (we had a KeyError that was happening ). Changed this to catch Exception instead of ValueError. See exo-v2 89ae38405e0052e3c22405daf094b065878aa873 and fb99fea69b5a39017efc90c5dad0072e677455f0.
