LoRA is a first-class workflow in VoxCPM, and the project already prefers
safetensors plus weights-only fallback loading for base model artifacts. The
legacy LoRA .ckpt/.pth path was the remaining place that still deserialized
arbitrary pickle objects, so this switches it to weights_only=True and adds
focused regression coverage for both model loaders.
Constraint: Must preserve compatibility with tensor-only legacy LoRA checkpoints
Rejected: Remove .ckpt/.pth support entirely | too disruptive for existing users
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep LoRA artifact handling aligned with the existing safetensors-first, weights-only loading pattern
Tested: python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_lora_checkpoint_loading.py tests/test_model_utils.py -q
Not-tested: Full end-to-end LoRA hot-load with heavyweight model assets
Support optional ref_audio samples in finetuning and make runtime device selection explicit while keeping auto fallback behavior consistent. Also ignore the local app override file to avoid accidental commits.
