Hugging Face peft's LoRA-GA and CorDA initialization modules (src/peft/tuners/lora/corda.py lines ~102 and ~163, and src/peft/tuners/lora/loraga.py line ~101) call torch.load on config-specified cache/covariance files without weights_only=True, bypassing peft's own safe-loading wrapper used elsewhere in the codebase.
