Research direction

Reproduce the issue in LM Studio 0.3.9 on macOS Sequoia by opening Models, selecting File Path, and refreshing a directory containing a cloned llama.cpp checkout. Compare that result with a directory containing only model files and collect the relevant logs, if available. Done means the models directory indexes successfully without failing because unrelated file types are present.
