[BUG] Have to be connected to the internet every time you use the matting function.

[Aenon1]

Prerequisites

• I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
• I am running the latest version of ComfyUI_frontend
• I am running the latest version of LayerForge Github | Manager
• I have searched existing(open/closed) issues to make sure this isn't a duplicate

What happened?

It used to work fine. I just reinstalled it, I ran it, I have all of the models, it saw that and worked. I disconnected from the internet, ran it again, and got the connection errors below. This was the same session, just a different image.
Why does it need a connection when the models are there and it just used them?

Steps to Reproduce

Run it when you are not connected to the internet. After the models were already downloaded.

How is this affecting you?

The latest PR #29 fixes the offline matting issue by detecting and loading a locally cached BiRefNet model before attempting to download from Hugging Face.
You can now test the matting feature without an internet connection to confirm it works offline.
