ci: fix the frontend coverage timeout and the WebKit Load more race (#262)

* ci: give the frontend coverage job a 40-minute limit with measured headroom

The job runs every page workflow twice (chromium, then touch) on one
worker with V8 coverage, so it takes about twice a single-browser job.
Recent runs took 18m26s-24m57s and PR head 6359999 was cancelled at the
25-minute limit while still passing. Coverage, floors and commands are
unchanged.

* test(images): dispatch the production Load more press so the observer cannot pre-empt it

A pointer click scrolls the continuation row into view, which lets the
page's own infinite-scroll observer append the final batch and hide the
button before the click lands (WebKit, run 39512528039). Dispatch the
press as the concept side already does, after asserting the button is
visible and enabled; the count, card, toast and loading-row assertions
are unchanged.

+It keeps the existing layout and behavior while using shared
+[ComfyAssets Toolkit](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyAssets-Toolkit) controls
+that follow ComfyUI's light/dark theme. Existing workflows keep the same internal
+node identifier and sockets. The reusable architecture is inspired by
+[Pixaroma](https://github.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma); no implementation or assets
+were copied. See the [toolkit maintenance notes](tools/vendor/README.md#shared-comfyassets-browser-controls).
+
+**Prompt Manager (Focused)** adds an editor-first layout with collapsible
+composition and metadata fields. Open **Browse library** to search saved prompts,
+filter by saved category and comma-separated tags, preview a selection, then choose
+**Use prompt**; **Load metadata** controls whether
+category and tags come with it. Metadata fields suggest saved categories and tags;
+choose with the mouse or arrow keys and Enter. Tag selections append `, ` for the
+next tag; category remains a single value. New values can still be typed freely.
+Prepend and append STRING sockets remain visible
+when the fields are collapsed, so LoRA trigger outputs can connect directly.
+Encoding, storage, and CONDITIONING/text outputs match Classic. Both layouts
+support ComfyUI Classic and Nodes 2.0.
+
+**Prompt Manager (Split)** keeps the same editor and library visible together.
+Wide nodes place the library beside the editor; narrow nodes stack the panels.
+It shares Focused's category/tag autocomplete, search filters, preview-before-use,
+workflow persistence, and connectable prepend/append inputs. Encoding and storage
+match Classic and Focused.

+### Database Path Compatibility (#211)
+
+PromptManager now honors the `database.default_path` setting in `config.json`
+when loaded as a ComfyUI custom node. Relative paths resolve against the extension
+directory, not ComfyUI's working directory; absolute paths are used as-is. Earlier
+versions could ignore this setting and use `<extension>/prompts.db` instead.
+Honoring a different configured path can therefore show an empty or different
+library. PromptManager does not automatically move or merge database files.
+
+Before upgrading or changing this setting:
+
+1. Identify the database your current installation actually uses and confirm its
+   library contents. Check both the configured path and the prior fallback
+   `<extension>/prompts.db`; keep track of which existing file you intend to use.
+2. Preserve a consistent backup of the active database with the dashboard's
+   Backup/Restore backup action or SQLite's online backup API. Do not copy only
+   the main file of a live SQLite database: committed data may still be in its
+   `-wal` file. For a filesystem copy, stop ComfyUI cleanly first and preserve any
+   remaining `-wal` file together with the main database.
+3. Set `database.default_path` to the existing intended database file. An absolute
+   path makes the selection explicit; do not move or overwrite either database
+   while choosing the path.
+4. Restart ComfyUI, then verify that the expected library appears and the active
+   database path resolves to the file you selected. Keep the backup until both
+   checks succeed.

+# Application Redesign Development Plan
+
+The maintainer approved the [interactive concept](concepts/workspace/README.md)
+on 2026-10-17. It is a design reference with simulated operations, not production
+code. This plan proposes implementation order and acceptance gates.
+
+## Delivery status
+
+- Foundation merged in [#198](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/198).
+- [#200](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/200) delivers native Images browsing, physical-file details, infinite scroll, Grid/List/Masonry, Viewer.js and video playback. The workspace opens on Images; original application entry points remain available.
+- Shared role-aware sending and the physical-file prompt inspector merged in [#203](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/203) and [#206](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/206).
+- The native Prompt Library merged in [#210](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/210) for [#208](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/208): one positive parent, saved negative variants, full selected text and a shared filtered image gallery. It does not invent chronological runs from counters or scan dates.
+- [Durable history storage](prompt-history-storage.md) records job attempts and outcomes from [#212](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/212), frozen prompt contexts from [#213](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/213), and observed run-owned output locators from [#214](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/214). Those locators do not verify file bytes or establish gallery-image associations. That association contract and the chronological execution timeline remain pending under [#209](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/209).
+- [#215](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/215) brings the shell, Images and natural-height Prompt Library presentation into the approved geometry and themes while retaining their existing operations. [#216](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/216) adds the shared current-file inspector with exact generation facts, scoped provenance, raw/download evidence and loaded-collection viewer controls, including a slideshow that pauses at native video. This delivery does not establish whole-application parity, change the default entry point or constitute a release. Recorded chronological run/context browsing continues under [#209](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/209); image tagging/review, System consolidation and remaining organization capabilities continue under #196.
+
+## Scope and compatibility
+
+Rebuild the standalone application around one shared shell. Preserve existing
+node schemas, saved workflows, backend capabilities, pinned Viewer.js and the
+ComfyAssets toolkit. Keep existing application entry points usable during the
+transition. Do not change the running maintainer instance during automated tests.
+
+Use the concept's feature inventory as a parity checklist. Each row needs an
+implementation issue, observable acceptance criteria and automated test coverage.
+Record any intentional behavior change explicitly; no silent feature removal.
+
+## Proposed delivery sequence
+
+Use a tracking issue and small issue-linked branches and PRs. Dependencies may
+require splitting these milestones further.
+
+| Milestone | Deliverable and acceptance focus |
+| --- | --- |
+| 1. Foundation | Production shell, routing, shared theme and disposable page-test harness. Verify startup, navigation, dark/light changes, cleanup and existing entry points. Establish discovered-test and coverage baselines before changes. |
+| 2. Image workspace | Real API-backed filters, Grid/List/Masonry, readable thumbnails, selection and shared Viewer.js inspector. Continuous infinite scroll only, with accessible Load more fallback, stable ordering, retry and restored browsing context. Bound retained DOM and test large datasets. |
+| 3. Prompt library and history | Real positive/negative associations, selected full negative, run history and shared image filtering. Design any missing execution-history persistence and migration before wiring the timeline; never invent historical runs from incomplete metadata. |
+| 4. Send to ComfyUI | Shared paper-plane actions wherever prompt text appears; role-specific and pair sends, destination preview, acknowledgement and failure recovery. Cover explicit empty versus unknown negatives and connected inputs. Never queue or replace a workflow. |
+| 5. Editing and review | Prompt editing, vocabulary management, per-image manual/auto-tag approval and Needs review. Preserve cancellation semantics and distinguish tag approval from prompt-association decisions. |
+| 6. System and maintenance | Settings, sources/scans, integrations, jobs, diagnostics, backup/restore and maintenance impact previews. Cover existing capabilities before retiring their old controls. |
+| 7. Additional organization | Favorites independent of ratings, collections, saved views, Activity, scheduled backups and portable import previews. Specify persistence, validation and recovery separately for each capability. |
+| 8. Cutover | Complete the parity checklist, migration and upgrade validation, accessibility/performance checks, documentation and targeted maintainer live testing. Switch the default only after these pass; preserve compatible URLs. |
+
+## TDD and test layers
+
+For each behavior, first write and run a meaningful failing test. Implement the
+smallest working change, verify it passes, then refactor with the suite green.
+Include failing-before/passing-after evidence in the PR.
+
+- **Unit:** filtering and selection state, cursor handling, prompt roles,
+  formatting, validation, navigation and lifecycle cleanup.
+- **Integration:** real HTTP handlers and disposable SQLite/filesystem fixtures;
+  persistence, migration from supported old schemas, idempotent scans, restore,
+  rollback and reference-safe deletion. Mock inference and external services.
+- **Smoke:** shipped production pages start and navigate with real fixture APIs;
+  test populated, empty and error states, assets and unexpected console failures.
+- **Browser workflows:** production HTML/JS across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit and
+  touch; editing/reload, infinite append, viewer cleanup, tagging approval,
+  keyboard access, delayed responses, cancellation and retries.
+- **Host integration:** pinned disposable CPU ComfyUI, Classic and Nodes 2.0,
+  switching both ways and workflow reload for host-facing changes. Exercise
+  independent and combined pack installations for shared bridge/toolkit changes.
+
+Retain existing test discovery and coverage gates. Carry forward database
+injection and open-handle checks into new fixtures. Add new frontend modules to
+coverage measurement and its baseline; do not lower floors or replace existing
+regression coverage with mockup-only tests.
+
+## GitHub and release gates
+
+Extend existing required workflows: the Python 3.10–3.13 matrix on Linux,
+Windows and macOS; 85% Python coverage; formatting; frontend units and per-file
+coverage floors; vendor checks; browser workflows; real ComfyUI compatibility.
+Publish traces, screenshots, logs and coverage artifacts on failures. See
+[TESTING.md](../TESTING.md) for commands and fixture isolation requirements.
+
+Every PR must map acceptance criteria to tests, report relevant checks and include
+screenshots for visual changes. All required checks must pass before merging.
+Use maintainer live review at meaningful visual and host-integration milestones;
+capture discovered regressions in automated tests. Notify the maintainer when
+Python changes require a ComfyUI restart.
+
+Keep version/publication changes separate from intermediate UI work: the existing
+registry workflow publishes on main/master changes to `pyproject.toml` or manual
+dispatch. Do not trigger a release merely to preview a redesign milestone.

+# Prompt Manager application redesign concept
+
+Status: visual concept approved by the maintainer, 2026-10-17. Production
+implementation is progressing in tested slices; see the [development plan](../../application-redesign.md).
+The production workspace now has native Images browsing; this concept remains the
+approved target for the complete application.
+
+## Review the mockup
+
+Run `python tools/preview-prompt-timeline.py --bind 0.0.0.0 --port 8767` and
+open `/workspace/`. The original approved timeline remains available at `/`.
+The server exposes an explicit allowlist of concept files and pinned assets.
+All examples are synthetic; there are no application API calls, database access,
+real model downloads, or ComfyUI handoffs. Local file inspection previews an
+image in the browser without uploading it. Exports contain sample data only.
+
+The sidebar opens Images, Prompt library, Tags & categories, Inspect a file,
+Activity, System and Design review. System includes Overview, Appearance,
+Sources & scans, Integrations, Auto-tagging, Maintenance, Backup & export, and
+Diagnostics & logs. The in-app Design review contains the feature map below.
+
+## Proposed direction
+
+One application shell replaces separate Admin, Gallery and Metadata shells.
+Use the approved shared ComfyAssets theme: ComfyUI dark/light, blue primary
+actions, green positive roles, red negative roles and errors. Preserve existing
+capabilities and services while consolidating controls and clarifying their scope.
+
+Browsing is image-led with readable thumbnails and one metadata inspector.
+Prompt library groups by positive; negative variants and runs share its gallery.
+The full selected negative appears directly beneath the positive in history.
+Favorites express preference independently of the existing quality rating.
+Collections organize projects without duplicating recipe text; saved views keep
+search/filter context. New capabilities are proposals, not implemented features.
+
+Maintenance moves out of the browsing toolbar. Checks, impact preview, backups,
+and apply steps have separate responsibilities. Distinguish prompt text reuse
+from image-file duplicates, and metadata enrichment from thumbnail generation.
+No repeated global thumbnail-generation prompt on opening the gallery.
+
+## Send to ComfyUI
+
+Use the same original paper-plane outline, blue accent and accessible role label
+on every positive/negative prompt block, including image details and the viewer.
+A pair action sends both. Preview destination and exact fields before applying;
+positive-only and negative-only actions leave the other role untouched. An
+explicitly empty negative means clear the target field; unknown metadata must
+never be interpreted as empty. Sending text neither queues execution nor
+replaces a workflow.
+
+Production needs a shared host bridge with versioned payloads, origin validation,
+destination discovery, capability checks, disconnected-host handling, linked-input
+checks and acknowledgements. Preview actual target values and report success only
+after acknowledgement. Default to asking for a destination; never guess between
+multiple nodes or positive and negative encoder inputs. Verify Classic and Nodes
+2.0 with both packs installed independently and together.
+
+## Existing feature inventory
+
+| Current feature | Proposed home / behavior | Disposition |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Admin prompt cards / per-prompt gallery | Prompt library + one prompt history workspace | Retained, rebuilt |
+| Standalone image gallery / Admin image modal | One Images workspace + shared Viewer.js viewer | Consolidated |
+| Video playback, autoplay / mute / loop, viewer slideshow and transforms | Shared media viewer; playback controls in Appearance; same image navigation | Retained |
+| Metadata page / viewer sidebar / full-text popups | One reusable metadata inspector; inline complete prompt text | Consolidated |
+| Prompt add, edit, rating, notes, copy, delete | Recipe editor, shared details, contextual bulk actions; reference-safe archive | Retained, clarified |
+| Categories, tag rename / merge, autocomplete | Tags & categories; same vocabulary in every editor | Retained |
+| Grid/list, thumbnail size, columns, pages/infinite scroll | Infinite scroll only; one Appearance configuration and contextual layout / density overrides | Simplified |
+| Scan, rescan, monitoring directories, worker threads | Sources & scans; explicit metadata enrichment vs thumbnail work | Consolidated |
+| Ollama, HuggingFace, WD14 variants, thresholds, review | One Auto-tagging configuration and review flow | Retained |
+| Thumbnail quality, size limit, metadata cache, paths | Appearance + cache controls in Maintenance | Retained |
+| Prompt dedup, hash checks, consistency, unused prompts | Maintenance plan with dependency checks and impact preview | Retained, safer flow |
+| Image dedup, orphan image links, browser cache | Separate reviewed operations in Maintenance | Retained |
+| Database backup / restore, JSON export | Backup & export; recovery and portable recipes clearly distinguished | Retained |
+| Diagnostics, image-link checks, logs, rotation, log levels | System → Diagnostics & logs | Retained |
+| LoRA detection/import, trigger injection, CivitAI key | System → Integrations; positive-only triggers | Retained |
+| Statistics / counts | System overview + usage breakdown; context counts in the workspace | Retained |
+| Send prompts to ComfyUI from every prompt surface | Role-aware paper-plane action + destination / overwrite preview | New proposal |
+| Reusable negatives / approved branch timeline | Prompt history with selected negative directly beneath positive | Approved concept |
+| Favorites, saved searches, project collections | Sidebar views; collections do not duplicate recipe text | New proposal |
+| Ambiguous metadata review, source provenance, run comparisons | Needs review queue; recorded vs inferred evidence; pair/run selection | New / expanded |
+| Unified jobs, cancellation, resumable progress visibility | Activity center; cancellation distinguished from hiding progress | New proposal |
+| Scheduled backups, pre-change safety snapshots | Explicit recovery policy after storage configuration | New proposal |
+
+## Implementation boundaries and test requirements
+
+Keep Viewer.js 1.15.2 and the shared toolkit as reproducible pinned artifacts;
+this mock uses their actual checked-in files without modifying them. Preserve
+legacy routes during the transition, current node layouts/schemas, existing
+controllers where reusable, and all existing test/coverage gates.
+
+The timeline needs persisted execution records to represent real runs. Saved
+views, collections, metadata review resolution, activity history, scheduled
+backups, portable JSON import, and the ComfyUI bridge need separate implementation
+and persistence work. Preserve source evidence and distinguish recorded from
+inferred metadata. Existing schema migration is automatic; old image enrichment
+remains an optional explicit scan. The one-time upgrade notice belongs in the
+new shell, with Scan and Later choices.
+
+Implement in reviewed slices: shared application shell and inspector; reusable
+prompt blocks/send bridge; image workspace; grouped library/history; settings and
+maintenance; optional organization and workflow improvements. Write regressions
+first for production behavior. Retain Python, frontend unit, Chromium/Firefox/
+WebKit/touch and managed Classic/Nodes 2.0 tests. Add behavior tests for shared
+filters, navigation state, viewer cleanup, interrupted jobs, dependency-safe
+maintenance, backup/restore, paired metadata and correct send destinations.
+
+Screenshots in `screenshots/` record the reviewed starting point. The approved
+standalone timeline in `../prompt-variant-timeline.html` remains unchanged.
+
+## Review polish
+
+History actions use a shared branch icon. Images can switch among Grid, List and
+Masonry; Masonry preserves each image's proportions and keeps DOM order while
+packing cards with a responsive layout. It does not require experimental native
+masonry support. Resize observers are disconnected when leaving the view.
+
+Every image card includes a tagging action beside Info, including cards in Needs
+review. Choose WD14 SwinV2, WD14 ViT, Ollama or HuggingFace; adjust thresholds or
+instructions, generate sample suggestions, edit tags manually, and approve only
+the desired suggestions. Changes are staged until approval, apply to that image
+alone and do not resolve uncertain prompt associations. Changing models discards
+previous suggestions. Cancel preserves existing tags. All inference is simulated.
+
+## Continuous browsing decision
+
+The redesign uses infinite scroll only. Remove page numbers, previous/next page
+buttons, paged/infinite mode selection and results-per-page controls. Keep request
+batching internal. The mock appends 12 images at a time in Grid, List and Masonry;
+it preserves existing card nodes, focus and selection while appending. It also
+retains the loaded range when switching layouts or revisiting a search. A
+keyboard-accessible Load more action provides an alternate trigger for the same
+continuous stream, not pagination. Exhausted and empty results are explicit.
+
+Production will need bounded rendering, stable cursors, scroll restoration and
+loading/error/retry behavior for large collections. Existing backend pagination
+can continue providing internal request batches; no production tests or routes
+are removed as part of this prototype.

+# Durable Prompt History
+
+Status: the durable job ledger, immutable prompt contexts and run-owned output
+references are implemented for
+[#209](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/209). Gallery
+image associations and the chronological timeline remain pending; #209 stays open.
+
+## Recorded jobs
+
+New jobs observed at the ComfyUI queue's dequeue boundary receive an immutable
+run identity and a host-session/queue-item identity. The public ComfyUI job UUID
+is a correlation field: submitting it twice records two attempts. Rejected graphs
+and jobs removed from the queue before dequeue create no execution rows. Cached
+jobs are recorded even when no PromptManager node runs, and headless jobs do not
+require a browser or WebSocket client.
+
+The additive `execution_runs` table stores dequeue time, observed callback time,
+optional executor event times and an explicit outcome: `observed`, `succeeded`,
+`failed`, `interrupted` or `unknown`. Matching stored terminal events determine
+outcomes. Missing or conflicting terminal evidence remains unknown; a process
+crash can leave an observed row without an invented completion time. Bounded
+safe diagnostics retain node ID/type and exception type, never graph text,
+arbitrary extra data, credentials, exception messages, traceback, inputs or
+arbitrary output payloads. A bounded background writer keeps storage failures from
+changing host execution and reports capture gaps rather than inventing rows.
+
+Existing databases begin with zero execution rows. Migration and backup restore
+preserve prompts, pairs, image links and aggregate counters; storage epochs keep
+stale queued writes from being replayed into restored data. There is no
+historical backfill from counters, scan dates, image timestamps or saved recipes.
+
+[Testing](../TESTING.md#durable-execution-ledger) describes the real CPU host
+matrix, historical failure proof, privacy checks and cleanup. Python deployment
+requires restarting ComfyUI.
+
+## What the existing UI proves
+
+`prompts.run_count` and `prompt_pairs.run_count` remain aggregate usage counters,
+not completed-run counts. `last_used_at` is the latest aggregate update; legacy
+migration may have estimated counts from linked images. `generated_images`
+identifies linked files; image counts and insertion times are not run counts or
+execution times. Image/pair association creation time can reflect an old-image
+scan. A saved pair's creation time is its recipe date.
+
+The native Prompt Library shows saved negative variants, linked images and
+aggregate uses. It does not expose the ledger as chronological dots or repeat-run
+branches. `PromptTracker` identities and PNG recipe evidence remain separate
+from durable host job identity.
+
+## Immutable contexts and output references
+
+Prompt contexts retain bounded raw/effective positive, negative and composition
+snapshots with nullable recipe navigation hints and explicit evidence provenance.
+Unknown text remains SQL NULL; a known empty negative remains empty text. Cached
+evidence belongs to its exact cache provider and attempt, rather than inheriting
+unrelated recent prompts. Deletion and restore can remove navigation hints without
+rewriting historical snapshots or rebinding them to current library rows.
+
+Schema v3 adds `execution_output_capture` and `execution_run_outputs` without
+backfilling older runs or modifying gallery image links. At final queue completion,
+the writer attaches bounded output evidence from that attempt's final host history
+to its immutable run ID. The internal `get_execution_outputs(run_id)` reader
+returns state, reason, format version, source and ordered references. A complete
+capture with `none_reported` means the final host history reported no images;
+`not_captured`, partial, unavailable and conflicting evidence remain explicit.
+Failed and interrupted jobs can still have complete evidence for images reported
+before termination. Running jobs do not gain a final capture merely because an
+image node finished.
+
+Each reference records output node ID, image ordinal, folder type, subfolder,
+filename, path style and an opaque configured-root key. A cached repeat can retain
+the same locators under a new run. Locators do not verify file bytes, continued
+existence, a newly generated file or membership in any prompt context: the reader
+reports file identity as `unverified`, generation and context membership as
+`unknown`, and temp outputs as transient. Capture never reads, resolves or serves
+the files and adds no public route. PNG metadata is not required. Same-path file
+replacement and existing gallery provenance retain their separate semantics.
+
+## Remaining history work
+
+Define a deduplicated run/gallery-image relationship that preserves existing image
+provenance and same-path replacement protection. Add a chronological timeline only
+after its navigation and evidence semantics can honestly represent prompt-level
+execution chronology, batched outputs and repeat-run branches.

+# Prompt inspection and sending
+
+The opt-in workspace at `/prompt_manager/workspace#/images` shows full positive
+and negative prompts in both Image details and the full-image preview. Existing
+gallery and metadata tools remain available during the application rebuild.
+
+Each prompt shows its evidence source: recorded execution, workflow inference,
+or embedded generation parameters. Path-only saved-library associations are
+marked unverified and cannot be sent: a filename alone cannot prove that an image
+has not been replaced. Missing, ambiguous, and unreadable prompts remain visible
+as distinct states. An explicitly
+empty negative is a resolved value and can clear a destination's negative field.
+
+Use the blue paper-plane action beside a prompt, or **Send prompt pair**. Keep a
+ComfyUI tab open under the same origin and deployment prefix. Choose a window and
+compatible Prompt Manager node, select **Preview changes**, review the complete
+before/after text and preserved prepend/append composition, then **Apply to
+ComfyUI**. The dialog reports success only after a matching acknowledgement.
+It does not load workflows or queue generation. If confirmation is lost, inspect
+ComfyUI and preview again before another attempt. Closing the dialog cannot undo
+an update already sent.
+
+## Read-only API
+
+`GET /prompt_manager/images/inspect/{relative_path}?root={root_index}` requires
+an explicit configured root, including when two roots contain the same filename.
+The response contains `image` identity and `prompts.positive` / `prompts.negative`.
+Each role has `status` (`resolved`, `absent`, `unresolved`, or `ambiguous`), `text`
+(string only when resolved, otherwise null), and `source`. Inspection does not
+index files, alter saved prompts, run scans, or decode image pixels. PNG text and
+video probe output are bounded; unsupported or malformed evidence remains
+unresolved rather than becoming sendable placeholder text.
+
+Python route changes require restarting ComfyUI. Browser assets require a refresh.

+# Prompt sending bridge
+
+Issue #202 establishes the transport and host adapter before the redesigned
+inspector displays prompt text. Gallery paper-plane controls and normalized
+metadata follow in a separate slice; existing node layouts are unchanged.
+
+## Shared transport
+
+PromptManager consumes the exact Toolkit 0.2.0 artifact recorded in
+`web/js/shared/toolkit/provenance.json`. The shared module has no ComfyUI imports.
+Its client discovers explicit host sessions and compatible destinations, requests
+a preview, and applies that preview using a one-use, client-bound, expiring ticket.
+Success requires an acknowledgement with verified destination values.
+
+BroadcastChannel connects independently opened tabs on the same origin and storage
+partition. Deployment prefixes have separate channel namespaces. Exact origin,
+protocol and peer checks reject unrelated messages. Same-origin scripts are
+trusted; this transport is not authentication against other scripts on that origin.
+Unsupported messaging is reported without breaking existing ComfyUI nodes.
+
+An apply timeout or abort after posting means the outcome is unknown. It cannot
+prove the host cancelled the write. The sender must inspect a fresh destination
+preview before deciding to send again; automatic retry must not overwrite edits.
+
+## PromptManager adapter
+
+Classic, Text, Focused and Split accept positive text; +/- accepts either role or
+both. Plain CLIP encoders are not assigned roles by title or position. An omitted
+role remains untouched; an explicitly empty string clears only the selected
+field. Unknown/ambiguous metadata must not become an empty string.
+
+Previews show original and requested text plus positive prepend/append composition.
+Connected composition is marked unknown rather than guessing upstream values.
+Connected destination fields reject writes. Applying rechecks graph, node, widgets,
+values and connections. Ordinary serialization cache synchronization is accepted
+only when it preserves live values. Both requested roles are checked before writing.
+
+Widget values, visible inputs, serialization and composed previews are synchronized.
+Callback failures restore local fields; arbitrary external callback side effects
+cannot be undone. Sending never queues execution or loads/replaces a workflow.
+
+## Lifecycle and validation
+
+Page hiding closes the host and invalidates tickets; restored pages mount one fresh
+host. Client disposal clears pending timers/listeners and closes its channel.
+Shared protocol contracts run against the actual bundled file, alongside adapter
+units, cross-browser tab workflows and real Classic/Nodes 2.0 scenarios. Pinned
+PromptManager-only, KikoTools-only and combined disposable hosts verify coexistence
+and workflow reload without modifying either live installation.

+# Reusable positive and negative prompts
+
+Tracking: [#193](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/issues/193).
+This work builds on the merged Split node in PR #192. Keep the feature unmerged
+until maintainer live testing is complete.
+
+## Storage contract
+
+Keep existing prompt IDs, text hashes, metadata, image links and node schemas.
+A component can serve either role. Ordered combinations refer to shared prompt
+rows; an explicitly empty negative uses a null reference. Missing or ambiguous
+metadata does not mean an empty negative. Pair metadata belongs to the
+combination; saving another combination does not overwrite component metadata.
+Existing trim/lowercase hash normalization remains unchanged.
+
+Saved components are immutable while referenced. To change text, create or reuse
+a component and save a new combination. Archive combinations that have generation
+history. Pruning and legacy editing/deletion must respect these dependencies.
+Historical workflow snapshots remain intact, including their original text.
+
+## Migration and recovery
+
+Create pair tables after existing legacy rebuild migrations, in an atomic,
+repeatable migration. Never scan media during schema initialization. Test fresh,
+legacy and current databases, repeated startup, injected failures and retries.
+Preserve old backup compatibility. Migrate and validate a disposable backup copy
+before replacing live database pages. Reject broken pair schemas, foreign keys,
+triggers and views. Use SQLite backup APIs so committed WAL data is included.
+
+## Metadata and scanning
+
+Resolve positive and negative from the same sampler/output context. Track both
+node ID and output slot; bound graph traversal and text construction. Unknown
+conditioning operations and conflicting sampler candidates remain unresolved.
+Never guess that the first encoder or most recent negative belongs to an image.
+
+Import high-confidence pairs atomically with their image association and source
+provenance. Repeated scans must not duplicate components, pairs or image links,
+regenerate thumbnails, or increment generation run counts. Preserve existing
+conflicting/manual associations for review. Report new, enriched, unchanged,
+ambiguous, unresolved and failed results separately.
+
+## Live node
+
+Use the shared toolkit and Split foundation. Positive and negative editors have
+equal size. Only positive receives prepend, append and automatic LoRA triggers.
+Keep upstream connections authoritative. Library selection previews both fields
+before an explicit load. Saving text changes creates another reusable combination.
+Verify Classic and Nodes 2.0 startup, switching both directions, reload, caching,
+linked inputs, popup behavior and lifecycle cleanup before maintainer testing.
+
+## Delivery gate
+
+Keep all existing coverage floors and test suites. Record regression failures
+before implementing each behavior. Tests use disposable state and the managed
+CPU host; never mutate the maintainer's running ComfyUI or personal database.
+Python changes require a ComfyUI restart. Live approval is required before merge.
+
+## Live testing
+
+1. Download a database backup from Admin before the first restart. The additive
+   schema migration runs on startup; existing workflows and prompt IDs stay valid.
+2. Restart ComfyUI, reload the browser, and add **Prompt Manager (+/-)** from
+   **ComfyAssets / Prompts**. Connect CLIP and the two conditioning outputs to the
+   sampler's positive and negative inputs.
+3. Enter both texts, save a pair, then keep positive unchanged and change negative.
+   Recent should show both combinations with distinct negative excerpts. Selecting
+   one previews both; **Use pair** loads both together.
+4. Test category/tag autocomplete and metadata opt-in, resizing, light/dark,
+   switching Classic / Nodes 2.0 both ways, and workflow reload. Connected fields
+   stay authoritative; run the node to save connected metadata values.
+5. Queue the same recipe twice and change only negative once. Usage should count
+   dequeued jobs even when ComfyUI caches the node. Prepend, append and LoRA triggers
+   affect positive only. Gallery text is labelled as recorded during execution or
+   recovered from workflow metadata.
+6. Run an output metadata scan to enrich existing images. Repeat it: pairs and
+   links must remain deduplicated, with unchanged results rather than new links.
+   Conflicting or ambiguous files need review and are preserved.
+
+Fresh executions embed bounded text evidence in PNG metadata. A cached node may
+not emit fresh evidence, so its graph-derived text is explicitly marked inferred.
+Multiple distinct batch records without an image anchor remain unresolved.
+Rescanning after interruption is safe through idempotent per-file writes; this
+version does not persist a filesystem scan cursor across server restarts.
+The API can request cancellation with `POST /prompt_manager/scan/cancel`; the
+existing dashboard Hide button continues to hide progress without cancelling.
+
+Pair APIs are under `/prompt_manager/pairs`: POST saves a combination, GET lists
+and filters, GET/PATCH/DELETE `/{id}` reads, edits metadata or removes an unused
+pair. Changing text creates another combination. Null metadata updates preserve
+existing values; empty strings/lists clear supported fields. Archive a pair with
+`PATCH {"archived":true}`. GET `/export` provides versioned JSON containing both
+texts and pair metadata; this is an export format, not a JSON import endpoint.
+
+## Gallery redesign concept retained
+
+The maintainer approved the interactive
+[negative variant timeline concept](concepts/prompt-variant-timeline.html) on
+2026-10-17. Preserve it for the later gallery redesign; it is not production UI
+and does not expand the current node work.
+
+Keep one positive parent and one shared gallery, with red branches for reusable
+negative variants and smaller dots for repeat runs. Show the selected negative
+in full directly beneath the unchanged positive; selecting another variant or
+run updates that text and filters the shared gallery. Comparison shows both
+negatives. Distinguish explicitly empty negatives from an all-variants view and
+saved variants from executed runs. Production history needs persisted execution
+records; the prototype's timeline uses illustrative sample data.
+
+The Admin upgrade/scan notice remains a separate follow-up: explain automatic
+schema migration and offer an optional metadata enrichment scan or Later.
