The maintainer's live queue held 39 items whose candidates all read
"unresolved" ("No positive / No negative"). An ambiguous result is now
reviewable only when at least two candidates are resolved with non-blank
positive text. With none the file could not be traced; with exactly one,
the untraced branches may still have made the file, so that text is not
certain either. Both are reported unresolved, never linked and never
queued (also the A1111 two-delimiter case, which has no candidates).
A rescan removes the pending items of such files whose own evidence
offers no choice, with the same safe delete as the linked settle
(pending, revision 0, no decision row). A limited item (over 16 candidates) that holds at least two
candidates is kept. The job scope gains review_untraced and the log
"= N images left Needs review · nothing to choose".
The maintainer's live scan (19,908 files, scope "new") reported 4,677 files
under Needs review, but the queue held 10,232 items: every file the strict
resolver found ambiguous was queued, including the ones the legacy
browser-parser fallback then linked (all sampled "added" rows) and the ones
already linked to a known prompt (135 of 200 sampled "known" rows).
A file is now queued only when its final outcome is ambiguous and unlinked:
the resolver finds it ambiguous, the fallback links nothing and no saved row
links it already. An ambiguous file that a saved row links is reported as
unchanged ("Already linked to its prompt"), not as Needs review.
The queue heals itself. After each batch, the scan removes the pending items
of every listed file (read, or skipped as known) that a saved row now links.
The monitor does the same for each ambiguous output it links, and never
queues one. Only an undecided item is removed (pending, revision 0, no
decision row), so a decision is never deleted or changed and the schema
needs no new state.
The scan job's scope.review_items now counts this scan's files that are in
the pending queue after it, new or already there, so it agrees with the
review group's ambiguous rows and with the queue total. review_added and
review_settled are new, and the log gains "already in Needs review" and
"left Needs review · now linked" lines. A duplicate whose item is decided is
reported as "decided" and is not counted.
canonical_evidence now follows main's non-finite policy (#303): NaN and
±Infinity are written as null instead of raising, so a NaN-stamped graph
never turns a review item limited. The System Overview reports the review
queue's pending total in needs_review.pending, read in the same snapshot
as the Library counts.
- The change stream sends the first notice at once and collapses the
notices of the next 0.4 s into one trailing change, so a busy scan costs
an open page one re-read per 0.4 s at most (COALESCE_SECONDS).
- Queue items answer thumbnail_url, the same URL the Images listing builds
(one shared helper, media_thumbnail_url), or null without a thumbnail.
- The "duplicate and refused decision send nothing" test spies on
notify_review_change instead of reading the next event.
The concept's Metadata review page at #/review: the notice with the
exact pending count, the queue's media cards (shared with Images through
image-card.mjs), and the Resolve the association panel with the sampler
context, the chosen path's prompt blocks, Leave for later and Apply
association. Apply takes a fresh capture; refusals keep the selection
and explain inline; an unanswered decision is resent once. SAVED VIEWS
lists Needs review after Favorites with its count (retires D50), and an
ended scan that recorded review items offers Review metadata in Activity
(D87). Queue items carry the card's media url.
A decision or a new item (the monitor records one per generation) no
longer makes an open cursor stale: the (created_at, id) keyset stays
ordered when items leave or are appended. A restore still answers
storage-changed and an unverifiable cursor review-conflict.
Closing the capture store at shutdown now runs under the store lock and is
final: a monitor recording or scan batch still in flight gets a capture
error instead of creating a new temp directory and restore subscription
after the cleanup.
A well-formed queue cursor this process cannot verify (opened before a
ComfyUI restart, whose cursor secret is per process) now answers 409
review-conflict with the current total, like any other stale page, instead
of an uncoded 400. Malformed cursors stay 400.
Needs review recording from the scan and the monitor shared the capture
store's two workers with the Tag dialog and Apply, so a busy scan could
answer a user's preview or decision with "Too many previews are open".
Background captures now never take the last worker or capture slot, and
wait up to two seconds for room before counting the file as not added.
Interactive captures are admitted or refused at once, as before.
Apply now finds the legacy rows of the same physical file however its root
is reached. The roots are real paths while the monitor links under the
directory it watches, so a symlinked or junctioned root, subst or a mapped
drive used to hide the monitor's row and Apply added a second, differently
linked row. Same-name rows are resolved to their physical identity
(normcase(realpath), else samefile); the dependency fingerprint covers all
of them, two rows refuse the choice, one row is enriched under the
ingester's compatible-only rules, and a same-name row the request did not
classify is a changed association.
Apply re-verifies only what the decision depends on: the bytes are still
ambiguous and still offer the chosen candidate. A resolver change that
rewords the reason or reorders candidates leaves pending items applicable.
The resolver version is one constant in prompt_pair_resolver, shared by
ingestion provenance and Needs review.
The transaction's byte check receives the re-hashed digest (or the body's
for Leave unresolved), every Apply refusal branch is tested with zero
writes, and the root listing and realpath calls run on a worker thread.
Needs review gains its queue reads and decisions:
- GET /prompt_manager/review/items lists pending items oldest first with
the exact pending total and an HMAC keyset cursor bound to the storage
epoch and the review index revision.
- GET /prompt_manager/review/items/{id} adds the candidates (role texts,
label, selectability), the dependency fingerprint and the digest.
- POST /prompt_manager/review/items/{id}/decision applies a candidate only
for a capture of the item's bytes that the current file still hashes to
and whose evidence is unchanged, through the ingester's compatible-only
rules in the same transaction as the decision row; a conflict writes
nothing. Leave unresolved records the decision and links nothing.
ingest_resolved_pair keeps its contract; its body moves into
_ingest_resolved_pair_in, which runs in the caller's transaction.
Items keep the file's recorded spelling so targets keep their case on
Windows, and a rescan skips the copy and hash of a file whose size and
mtime match the bytes an item already cites.
