Description
The WebUI should auto-download models from HuggingFace Hub when a repo ID is provided, and default to the correct 16 kHz sample rate.
The training WebUI requires a local model directory path. If a user specifies a HuggingFace repo ID (e.g., openbmb/VoxCPM2), the training script crashes when trying to read config.json from a nonexistent local path. Additionally, the default sample_rate widget value is 44100 Hz but VoxCPM2's AudioVAE expects 16000 Hz — the auto-detection function (detect_sample_rate) only works when the model is already downloaded locally.
Fix: Add _resolve_pretrained_path() that calls huggingface_hub.snapshot_download() when the path looks like a Hub ID. Correct the sample rate default to 16000 Hz. This enables zero-setup first-run: specify a Hub ID and the WebUI downloads + trains automatically.

Research direction
Start at the training WebUI and training script, tracing where the model path is read and where detect_sample_rate handles an existing local model. Implement the requested _resolve_pretrained_path() flow with snapshot_download for Hub IDs, set the widget default to 16000 Hz, and verify that a Hub ID can download, detect the sample rate, and begin training without a local directory.
