Hugging Face models
InferCrane useshuggingface_hub and hf_xet rather than a custom transfer protocol. Before provisioning, it resolves a repository and mutable reference such as main to an immutable commit when the provider exposes that evidence.
ModelArtifact can include repository identity, immutable revision, approximate size, and grounded compatibility/cache metadata. Missing provider evidence remains unavailable; InferCrane does not infer it.
