Description

### Feature Idea

When regular VAE decoding OOMs, could ComfyUI first unload/release other models and retry regular VAE decoding before falling back to tiled decoding? On VRAM-constrained systems, this may allow normal decoding to succeed and avoid the performance cost of tiled decoding.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the VAE decode path and its OOM handling and tiled-decoding fallback, then inspect how other models are released; done means regular decoding is retried after release before tiled decoding is used, with coverage for the constrained-memory case.
