- Add resolveBaseModelAlias with exact-then-fuzzy matching
- Use weighted scoring in getDominantWorkflowBaseModel to prefer
checkpoints/diffusion/unet (weight 8) over loras (weight 2)
- Skip URN-prefixed values during model reference extraction
- Refresh base model select labels after download panel re-render
- Update HuggingFace author index metadata and repo list
Uses an exact alias membership check instead of substring matching to prevent
false positives, e.g. 'zimage' alias no longer incorrectly matches
'zimagebase'.
Adds a checkbox in the resolver footer search menu that bypasses all
search result caches for the duration of a batch search run.
Frontend (queue_methods.js, resolve_download_methods.js,
resolver_dialog.js, search_panel.js, resolver-main.css):
- Introduce checkbox-type footer menu items (type: 'checkbox').
- Add 'Force search (ignore cache)' checkbox to the search menu,
wired to a new forceBatchSearch flag on ResolverManagerDialog.
- Pass forceSearch through searchMissingBatch and searchOnline to
the backend API call.
- When the manual search button is clicked and results already exist
for that model, forceSearch defaults to true.
- mergeSearchResults respects forceRefresh: if a forced search
returns no results for a source, that source is cleared from the
cached results.
Backend (__init__.py, core/sources/huggingface.py):
- force_search is read from the incoming API request and, when true,
clears all active source search caches (local, huggingface,
civitai, civarchive, lora_manager_archive) before searching.
- force_search is forwarded as force_refresh to
search_huggingface_for_file, which folds it into the cache key so
the cache is not hit, and propagates it to _get_author_index.
- Search result timestamps are no longer inherited from prior
cached signatures when force_search is active; a fresh timestamp
is written unconditionally.
Updated metadata/huggingface-author-index.json reflects the latest
cached author index after rebuild.
Add searched_at timestamps to search results so cached entries are accurately tracked and preserved across merges. Expand the clear-search-cache command to also invalidate popular databases, model list, and the new result timestamp store. Frontend gains new cache-clearing methods and a full resolver cache reset for maintenance. The search panel and missing browser now show source result dates and toggle the search button between 'Search' and 'Search Again' when results already exist.
Add backend endpoints (/model_linker/model-list/status, /model_linker/model-list/update)
that let users check whether their bundled ComfyUI-Manager model-list.json is current
and download the latest version from GitHub, with SHA tracking and cache invalidation.
Add corresponding UI in the Options dialog under a new 'Local Database' section
with status display, remote check, and update controls.
