feat(library): Filters shows its active count; final review follow-ups

- D44: the shared toolbar's Filters button reads "Filters · N" while N
  "Refine this view" filters are active (Library: Tags; Images: Source,
  Folder, Media, Tags), so a Browse-set Tags filter is visible on the
  shelf. The text is the accessible name. Unit and browser tests cover
  Browse -> "Filters · 1" -> Clear -> "Filters" and the Images counts.
- Renumber the alphabetical tag chips deviation D42 -> D43 (D42 is #264's).
- The caption count is a role=status region written only when it changes
  and kept shown while the shelf reloads.
- usedLabel names the year for a use in another calendar year (D23).
- prompt-blocks: same `title` option API as #264 (`subject` suffix); the
  region-name helper's parameter no longer shadows it.
- Scope library.css .row-actions rules to the history panels; fix stale
  CSS and spec comments.
- Retry re-reading a failed category list and the no-op Apply/search
  paths are covered by a browser test.
- TESTING.md: D23 amendments (year, button vs link trade-off), D44, the
  legacy Library link wording.

+node identifier and sockets. The reusable architecture is inspired by

+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.

 ## Changelog
 
+### v3.3.1 (Proxy Routing Fix)
+
+- **🌐 Proxy support**: the dashboard, gallery, tag page and metadata viewer now work when ComfyUI is reached through a proxy mount such as SwarmUI's `/ComfyBackendDirect/`. Scripts, images, API calls, progress streams and gallery folder filters stay under the mount, and the canvas node's buttons use ComfyUI's `fileURL()`. Direct ComfyUI URLs are unchanged. Thanks to @ghosttigerllc-bit ([#164](https://github.com/ComfyAssets/ComfyUI_PromptManager/pull/164))
+- **📦 Dependencies**: the runtime minimums stay at `Pillow>=8.0.0` and `watchdog>=2.1.0`, so updating Prompt Manager never forces upgrades in the shared ComfyUI environment
+
+### v3.3.0 (Hardening, Background Jobs & Worker Threads)
+
+- **🔒 Security**: gallery roots restricted to ComfyUI directories and validated wherever they are read; media-only, fail-closed image serving; Windows path escape in static routes closed; quote-safe HTML escaping with inline handlers moved to data attributes; the CivitAI key is never returned and only sent to HTTPS CivitAI hosts; auto-tag paths contained; side-effect routes are POST-only; backups include the WAL and restores are size-capped, integrity-checked and applied through SQLite's online backup API
+- **🧵 Worker Threads**: a Settings slider (default half the cores) used by the image rescan, thumbnail generation and duplicate detection. Measured: a 1 GB sample scanned in 2.5 s instead of 18 s at 8 threads
+- **🔁 Background Jobs**: the image rescan and the duplicate scan run on the server, stream progress, survive a closed tab, minimize to a progress pill and re-attach after a reload
+- **🎬 Video Prompts**: the scan reads the prompt ComfyUI's video savers embed in MP4/MOV/WebM containers (needs `ffprobe`)
+- **🖼️ Thumbnails**: written atomically and served under versioned URLs so a regenerated thumbnail never shows a stale cached copy; the per-run cap applies only to thumbnails that still need generating and the gallery says how many remain
+- **🏷️ Tag Autocomplete**: the dashboard tag box suggests tags, narrowed to those that co-occur with the tags already typed
+- **♾️ Infinite Scrolling**: optional in the gallery and the dashboard list (saved default plus a session toggle)
+- **⚙️ Gallery Settings** now apply at load; grid columns, media info and the Rescan button work as labelled
+- **🐛 Correctness**: run counts increment when ComfyUI dequeues a prompt; negative prompts are never traced; per-thread SQLite connections and idempotent migrations (an old rebuild could delete every image row); `truncate_logs` no longer rolls the log over; the ComfyUI canvas loads only the canvas extension; Windows console banners are ASCII-safe; subfolders use `/` on every platform
+- **🧪 Tests & CI**: 1,460 Python and 142 JavaScript tests (from 510 and 26), coverage 96% with an 85% gate, CI on Linux, Windows and macOS for Python 3.10–3.12, flake8 clean
+- **⚠️ API changes**: image paths in responses are relative to the ComfyUI tree (use `url`); `autotag/download`, `autotag/start` and the thumbnail progress stream are POST-only; `lora/status` returns `has_civitai_api_key` instead of the key; `/search` is paginated
+
+### v3.2.4 (Recently Used Sorting & Queue-Time Run Counts)
+
+- **🕒 Recently Used Sort**: sort the dashboard by last use, most used or rating, server-side across pages
+- **🔢 Run Counts**: `run_count` and `last_used_at` are recorded through the ComfyUI queue hook, so cached nodes still count
+- **🔗 Positive-Prompt Image Linking**: generated images link to the positive prompt traced through the queued graph
+
 ### v3.2.1 (LoRA Manager Integration)
 
 - **🔗 LoRA Manager Integration**: Import LoRA metadata, trigger words, and CivitAI example images from [ComfyUI-Lora-Manager](https://github.com/willmiao/ComfyUI-Lora-Manager) into your prompt database

+# 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.

+- **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

+
+## 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 |

+| 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.
