Every caller (validate-source, POST /settings, config.json at load) now
refuses a source through one check, sources.source_problem: the form
check first, then GalleryConfig.gallery_root_problem, which compares the
normalised spelling with the allowed folders before anything resolves,
stats or opens the path. A UNC share, the \\?\ and \\.\ namespaces, a
device or any outside folder is refused with no SMB request, no
executor stall and no existence or timing oracle; only then is the path
resolved and contained again, which still catches a symlink out. The
filesystem root and the home directory answer outside-allowed with the
same reason as any outside path, so no caller learns the home path.
Also:
- POST /settings runs the form checks and parses the roots off the loop;
an unusable source is a coded 400 invalid-source naming its public
path (as text) and its index.
- ComfyUI folders outside the base directory are path anchors, so their
sources round-trip and never collide by folder name.
- A per-source scan sends each index with its public path; a stale or
shifted index is 409 sources-changed and starts nothing.
- A source still watched after monitoring was switched off is
"stopping".
- Roots are compared as folders, not spellings, so an unchanged legacy
resend takes no source-change hold.
- Tests: no realpath/stat/lstat of an outside path (native and Windows
forms with ntpath fakes), the alike answers with /, ~ and a link to ~,
an event instead of a timer wait, and a teardown that drains jobs
before the temporary database goes.
A gallery root's containment in the allowed ComfyUI folders is now
decided before its existence and type, so a path outside them answers
"outside-allowed" whether or not it exists. validate-source also folds
the filesystem-root and home-directory codes into "outside-allowed", with
one reason, and logs the detail server-side only. Paths inside the
allowed folders still say "not-found" or "not-directory". The legacy
settings save shares the same check.
GET /prompt_manager/settings adds settings.monitoring_enabled, a sources
block (configured roots with valid/code/reason, effective roots with their
listing index and watch state, auto_detected) and the monitor state
(present, observer_alive, scheduled). Every path is a public path.
A source is "watching" only while a live observer scheduled it, "manual"
when monitoring is off or the process has no monitor, and otherwise
"restart_pending".
POST accepts monitoring_enabled as a strict bool, saved under
gallery.monitoring.enabled; restart_required_fields names it when the
running observer does not already match. A save that changes the sources
runs as a "Source change" records hold, so it is refused with 409 busy
while a scan runs. Case variants of one folder are saved once.
POST /prompt_manager/settings/validate-source {path} checks a path
lexically (no "..", no control characters, native path forms only) and
then against the gallery-root rules, answering a code and reason, and
writes nothing.
