The panel's text for each of the 18 blocks (about, zh and en) is one short sentence; where it came from and how it was tried stay under Details, the AI's instructions (after, notes) unchanged.

The 18 blocks are grouped into 7 uses (a block's "job": repaint,
new_background, upscale, refine, follow, detail, process); a block that is
not its use's default has a "want" word (best, 2x, pose, ...).
add_nodes(use=…, want=…) has reference_blocks.pick choose the first by rank
this ComfyUI can run (packs and models present, not turned off), the block
taking a second picture when one is given; block= by name still works.
begin_task's directory is a line a use with its wants, the rest by what it
needs ("LanPaint: repaint best"), so it no longer grows with the blocks and
the word budget tiers are gone. Tried live: use=new_background with two
pictures built place_in_scene.

place_in_scene takes two pictures (add_nodes' new scene argument, $scene in
a block marked "scene"): the character is cut out (inspyrenet-rembg), the
place scaled and cropped to its size (GetImageSize, ImageScale), the
character pasted on (ImageCompositeMasked) and everything else redrawn at
denoise 0.5 with the edge grown 6 px, so shadow and ground meet it while
the place keeps its look. Tried on an RTX 4050 6 GB with SDXL (Illustrious)
832x1216: about 40 s.
The blocks' short words are shorter so begin_task stays under 4000
characters.

- api/block_models.json: the 15 models the ways recommend, each with its
Hugging Face / Civitai / GitHub links, size, SHA256 (all checked against the
sites), licence and folder. A block's "models" names its recommended ones; the
Ways panel ticks those here (by name, or by size for a renamed copy) and
downloads a missing one in a click with model_download.downloadFrom, its hash
checked.
- A block's "tested": the card (RTX 4050 laptop, 6 GB), sizes and a whole run's
time, shown in the panel and told to the AI with the block (answer.tested).
- color_lineart gets an Anima variant with Anima's lineart LLLite.

- tags_from_picture: WD14 tagger (the source's model and thresholds) on a
picture the user handed; run_status now carries what nodes showed as words
(texts: a tagger's tags), with a summary and next step for a run that made
words but no pictures.
- Optional nodes: a block node marked optional goes when its pack is missing,
and a link "match|decode" takes the first one there. The four upscales end in
KJNodes' ColorMatch (mkl, the source's) when it is installed; the panel says
"better with" it otherwise.
- LanPaint's next step keeps the prompt about the whole picture; Follow a pose
says OpenPose misreads anime (use control_depth), as the source's author did.
- The directory has a size cap: past it, block names alone, so collected ways
never make begin_task long; shorter headings and few-word lines.
Live-tested on the isolated 8199 ComfyUI: LanPaint (area changed 14.6, outside
0.0, 82 s), tiled 2x (167 s), depth ControlNet (follows the layout), OpenPose
(misreads an anime picture), background removal (8 s), tags (166 s with the
model download), upscale with ColorMatch (73 s).

Each block is now api/blocks/<name>.json (nodes, packs, models, the AI's words
and the panel's in both languages), so a way collected later is one more file.
The AI workbench's side column has a Ways view: blocks by job, what each does
and where it came from, greyed with the pack (opens ComfyUI-Manager) or model it
lacks, and a switch (user/anomalous/ai_blocks.json) that keeps it from the AI;
begin_task lists only the blocks on and runnable here, the rest in one line.
New blocks: upscale_iterative (Impact Pack), upscale_two_models ($loader role,
a second loader "like" it), remove_background (inspyrenet-rembg).
