Summary

• Return owned media and native generation metadata together from the core APIs, with no result on failure. This changes the image, video, upscale, and ADetailer API signatures.
• Centralize resolved parameter snapshots, recording per-image seeds and model filenames while omitting inactive options.
• Support AVI, WebM, and Matroska metadata inspection through the CLI.

Walkthrough

Generation calls now return owned result objects that include generation metadata. The metadata records resolved request parameters and flows through postprocessing, CLI and server responses, and supported media formats. The CLI metadata inspector adds AVI, WebM, and Matroska support.

Changes: Generation Metadata and Results

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve requests and build generation records src/pipeline/request.*, src/pipeline/generation.h, src/pipeline/image.cpp, src/pipeline/video.cpp, src/generation_info.*, src/pipeline/diffusion_engine.*, src/conditioning/conditioner.hpp	Generation requests now retain resolved sampling, model, VAE tiling, and seed state. Image and video pipelines use the resolved request to create generation metadata.
Return owned generation results include/stable-diffusion.h, src/stable-diffusion.cpp, src/generation_info.*, src/detailer.cpp, src/upscaler.cpp	Generation, upscaling, and ADetailer APIs now return owned result structures. Image results carry per-image metadata; video results carry frames, audio, FPS, and generation metadata.
Store and embed generation metadata examples/common/generation_metadata.*, examples/common/resource_owners.hpp, examples/common/media_metadata.*, examples/common/media_io.*, examples/common/common.*, examples/cli/CMakeLists.txt, examples/server/CMakeLists.txt	Shared helpers convert and merge generation records, retain metadata with owned images, and embed metadata in supported image formats. CLI and server builds include the new helpers.
Propagate metadata through CLI and server examples/cli/main.cpp, examples/server/async_jobs.*, examples/server/routes_openai.cpp, examples/server/routes_sdapi.cpp, examples/server/routes_sdcpp.cpp, examples/server/runtime.cpp, examples/server/api.md	CLI and server generation paths now consume result objects. API responses expose generation metadata, and image encoding uses metadata from generated results.
Inspect media metadata and document the format examples/cli/image_metadata.cpp, examples/cli/README.md, docs/generation_metadata.md, docs/image_preprocessing.md	The CLI inspector adds Exif UserComment decoding and AVI, WebM, and Matroska parsing. Documentation describes result ownership, metadata fields, replay details, media embedding, inspection, and API responses.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Use the TIFF byte order as the default for BOM-less UTF-16 UserComment text.

parse_exif_user_comment defaults to big-endian when no BOM is present. It does not receive the byte order of the enclosing TIFF header. A file with a little-endian TIFF header (II) is a likely case, for example one rewritten by Exif tools. If it stores BOM-less UTF-16LE text, the code decodes it as big-endian. The output is then garbled text, or an invalid UTF-16 UserComment error.

The WebUI/piexif case still decodes correctly. As far as I know, piexif writes an MM header together with UTF-16BE text. This depends on the writer, so confirm it before you adopt the fix.

Pass little_endian from parse_exif_value as the default. Use the BOM only as an override.

Proposed fix

-    json parse_exif_user_comment(const uint8_t* data, size_t size) {
+    json parse_exif_user_comment(const uint8_t* data, size_t size, bool tiff_little_endian) {

-        // WebUI's piexif writer uses big-endian UTF-16 without a BOM.
-        bool little_endian = false;
+        // Without a BOM, assume the TIFF byte order. WebUI's piexif writer uses big-endian for both.
+        bool little_endian = tiff_little_endian;

Update the call site at Line 502 to pass the TIFF byte order:

-                value = tag == 0x9286 ? parse_exif_user_comment(data.data() + value_offset, count)
+                value = tag == 0x9286 ? parse_exif_user_comment(data.data() + value_offset, count, little_endian)
