Restyle the panel on ComfyUI palette tokens and drop the built-in themes. Add a header with Back/Forward, Prev/Next, Focus, Lock and a searchable Go to node picker, a subgraph/group breadcrumb, and simplified modes: Follow glass or Float, plus Sticky, Follow selection and Lock to node (replaces Hold). Fix widget edits (step2 steps, INT/FLOAT, commit on Enter/blur, undo), subgraph lookups, orphaned dropdown menus, global arrow-key capture, the pop-out editor, and remove Google Fonts loading and dead code.
