The comparison to npm is spot on. We are seeing the exact same pattern: a massive explosion of dependency complexity, but now the "dependencies" aren't 50KB JavaScript files, they are 10GB binary blobs that we treat as black boxes. The "Shadow AI" problem (developers cloning a random repo + downloading a model from a Google Drive link to get a specific uncensored tune) is exactly what we built the CLI for. We want to make it trivial to run a "hygiene check" on that download folder before mounting it into a container.
Consider adding a little UI to this. If I can just right-click a model/zip/folder and click "scan", then there's really no reason not to have this around (speaking in terms of removing any practical barrier, including laziness).
