Summary

Flips enable_partial_loading default from false to true so low-VRAM mode is on out of the box. Updates the low-VRAM docs and generated settings reference accordingly.

QA Instructions

  • Start Invoke without setting enable_partial_loading in invokeai.yaml and confirm partial loading is active (visible in startup logs / model cache behavior).
  • Verify generations still work end-to-end on a GPU that previously ran with full loading.
  • Set enable_partial_loading: false in invokeai.yaml and confirm the old full-loading behavior can still be restored.
  • Skim the rendered Low-VRAM mode docs — wording should reflect that partial loading is the default and explain how to opt out.

Merge Plan

Standard merge. Worth calling out in release notes / What's New since this changes default runtime behavior for all users.
