feat(templates): offer API-node starter templates in the install picker - #1341
Merged
Conversation
Zero-model picks still create a download-task state entry for their input assets, so the existing guards all passed and the launch stepper showed a model-download phase for a template that downloads no models.
Hydrate `apiNode` from the manifest only — the index's `openSource` flag means closed weights, and 13 entries carry it alongside a multi-GB size. Also skip `api`/`3d model` when picking a card's task tag, and keep an API-node slot on its snapshot rather than substituting a local download into it.
Swap each modality's heaviest pick for its highest-usage API-node template, so the picker is no longer open-source only: - Seedream 5.0 Pro: Image Edit, Seedance 2.0: Reference to Video - Tripo H3.1: Image to Model, Seed Audio 1.0: Text to Audio `recommended` and `apiNode` are mutually exclusive by type — the auto-selected pick must never cost credits.
Badge the card with a crown and "Requires credits", and show the crown in place of a download size. The badge sits outside the aria-hidden media span so the cost reaches the card's accessible name. Reset an auto-selected API-node template to "none" when the picker step is skipped, so a credit-costing pick can't install without its only cost surface. Keep the picker on offer when the disk fits no local template, since the API-node cards need none.

…back The picker step is not the only place a starter template can be chosen: when it is gated off, the field renders as cards in Advanced. Resetting the selection there discarded a deliberate choice, so surface the credit cost on those rows instead.

Summary
The install picker only offered local-model templates, so a new user's first run was always a multi-GB download. Each modality now also offers one API-node template, badged with its credit cost before Install.
