server: add --recipes flag for JSON/INI recipe files - #2248
Adds an optional --recipes <file> flag to sd-server (repeatable) for
loading model recipes from explicit files, on top of the existing <model-dir>/recipes/ scan. The file format is chosen by extension:
**Usage**
```bash
# INI — one file = whole recipe book, one section per recipe
sd-server --model-dir models --recipes recipes.ini
# JSON — one file = one recipe (the existing recipe/*.json format,
# unmodified, from anywhere on disk)
sd-server --model-dir models --recipes my-model.json
# repeatable, mixable; all --recipes files take precedence over the
# recipes/ directory, which keeps working for anything not overridden
sd-server --model-dir models --recipes recipes.ini --recipes my-model.json
Additional Information
Taking motivation from llama.cpp, I do not think in long-run a directory full of 100 .json recipes 3-4 years from now will be scalable as more and more models are supported, a single easily editable .ini file equivalent to llama.cpp --models-preset /path/to/models.ini, makes more sense, using --recipe flag to mimic this behavior.
# ============================================================================
# sd-server recipe book — one section per recipe, llama.cpp models.ini dialect
#
# [recipe-id] <- section name is the recipe id (used by load.sh)
# key = value <- # or ; comments, trailing comments OK
# [*] <- shared values for every recipe in this file
#
# Routing: slot ids listed in `slots` used bare as keys map to model files;
# slots / required_slots / features / disabled_features -> comma lists
# label.<slot>, category.<slot> -> per-slot UI options
# required_any.N = a,b -> at-least-one groups (N from 1)
# backend, vae_format, model_args, params_backend -> context
# width, height, steps, cfg_scale, sampling_method, ... -> generation defaults
# custom_sigmas = 1.0,0.9,0.0 -> float list
#
# Precedence: --recipes files > <model-dir>/recipes/*.json|*.ini > builtins
# ============================================================================
# Shared by every recipe in this file (overridable per section).

Added support for loading recipes from .json and .ini files with the repeatable --recipes option.
INI files can contain multiple recipes, with shared defaults that individual recipes can override.
Recipes from explicitly supplied files take precedence over earlier catalog sources.
Bug Fixes
Invalid recipes are reported individually, allowing valid recipes in the same file to load. File-level syntax errors and unsupported or invalid files are reported.
For duplicate recipe IDs across explicit files, the first recipe is kept and later duplicates are reported.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The server accepts repeated --recipes options for JSON and INI files. INI files can define multiple recipes and shared defaults. Catalog loading validates explicit recipes, reports errors, and applies accepted CLI recipes over earlier catalog sources.
Changes: Explicit recipe files
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Add the --recipes option examples/server/runtime.h, examples/server/runtime.cpp
SDSvrParams stores explicit recipe paths. The repeatable option rejects missing or empty arguments and converts arguments to UTF-8.
Parse and convert INI recipes examples/server/model_catalog.cpp
The INI parser validates syntax, sections, keys, and UTF-8. Conversion applies shared defaults, validates slots, and maps values into recipe fields. Invalid sections do not prevent valid sibling sections from loading.
Catalog loading checks paths and file size, accepts JSON or INI files, and normalizes recipes independently. Across CLI files, the first definition of a recipe ID is retained. Accepted CLI recipes replace recipes from earlier sources.
Malformed recipe files or certain Windows path errors can break catalog responses. These failures should be addressed before merging.

Review comments at @examples/server/model_catalog.cpp:
- Around line 696-704: Update `ini_file_to_recipes` to collect entries from
every `[*]` section before converting any named sections. Then convert each
non-`[*]` section using the collected `base`, so shared values apply regardless
of section order.
- Around line 969-970: Update the `recipe_path` construction and `display`
conversion in the recipe-file handling code to interpret `recipe_path_text` as
UTF-8 and keep the reported display string UTF-8. Use `fs::u8path` to build the
path and `generic_u8string` to produce the display value.
- Around line 598-602: In the index_text parsing loop, stop accumulating digits
as soon as index exceeds 32 so oversized required_any indices cannot overflow
int; preserve the existing validation that reports the must-be-in-1..32 error.
- Around line 994-1003: In the file_recipes loop, handle normalization failures
per recipe rather than letting one failure stop processing the remaining
recipes. Capture the recipe ID before calling normalize_recipe, then report
failures with that ID and continue to the next recipe; keep successful recipes
in cli_recipes.

Convert Windows filesystem error messages to UTF-8
If an explicit recipe path cannot be resolved on localized Windows, path_error.message() can contain non-UTF-8 bytes. The loader stores those bytes in catalog_errors, so recipe, model-file, and refresh responses can fail to serialize. Convert the system error message to UTF-8 before reporting it.
