AI-Toolkit insists on downloading full models when my optimized versions are already local!

My hardware isn't top-tier (16GB VRAM / 32GB RAM), so all of my models are the optimized/smaller versions already sitting on my hard drive. My goal now is simple: train LoRAs for a specific character using basic portrait/body shots just for consistency! To me, AI-Toolkit seems straightforward, and I successfully trained one Lora for Z-Image Turbo.
