- ai_task_runs.py reads where a run stands from ComfyUI's queue and progress registry (never
changing them): queued and how many are ahead, or the node running, its steps and the nodes
done. It is kept on the step in memory and sent as "progress" events that only move the
step's bar; the run's step is saved only when something new is kept.
- run_status (read-only): the task's latest run and its progress, its pictures once done;
wait_seconds (<= 55) waits for the end. run_workflow's answer tells the AI to use it instead
of guessing from the time.

- ui_canvas_changes.js: a prompt written as tags lists the tags taken out (red, struck) and put
in (green) first; "Show meanings" puts each one's translation under it (prompt_gloss.js);
"Whole text" marks those tags in both texts and dims the rest. Other text marks the part that
differs. A tag the log cut in half at either end is never called changed.
- activity_log.py: before/after values keep up to 2000 characters (was 400), room for a whole
prompt; longer ones are still cut around the first difference.

- ui_ai_handoff.js: "Hand to AI" on a model's page, the image inspector (✦) and combo cards.
The user says what they want (prefilled), Anomalous starts a waiting task with `about` (the
model_id, the output image, the combo's name; checked in ai_tasks.start_task) and shows the
sentence to send the AI; begin_task hands `about` to the AI so it needs no search.
- The AI windows sit above the image inspector they can open from; going to the AI page from
there closes the inspector.

- api/mcp_apps.py + api/mcp_app/task_card.html (MCP Apps, io.modelcontextprotocol/ui): apps that
support it (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code…) show Anomalous's own card under begin_task, show_panel,
report and run_workflow results: the task's steps, latest thumbnails (inline), the AI's open
questions answered with a click (app_answer, plus a chat message so the AI goes on). The card
reads through app_task_view; both tools are for the card only (visibility "app"), are never
steps and never take the user's news. The card never answers a gate: an OK is only given in
Anomalous, so no tool an AI can reach grants one.
- api/mcp_prompts.py: prompts/list and prompts/get, four ready-made requests (slash commands):
workbench_task, pick_best, fix_missing_models, explain_canvas.

- api/ai_gates.py: changing the canvas, using the GPU, downloading and scanning online can each
go ahead, ask first or never (downloads ask by default; anomalous/ai_gates.json). A call that
asks waits on its step (state "asking", what it would do listed) up to 50 s for Allow or No
(with the user's reason for the AI); unanswered, the AI is told to wait and call again, the
later answer reaches it as a message, and the same call after an Allow goes ahead.
- ui_ai_gate.js: the card under a waiting step and the Gates window; a toast while elsewhere.
- ui_ai_flow.js + ai_task_view.flowStages: the task's stages in order, each done, running,
waiting or failed; a stage leads to its first step.

- api/action_catalog.py: every MCP tool's kind, stage of the work and gate in one place (a test
keeps it and the tools in step); steps now carry their stage.
- api/ai_task_changes.py: changes the user makes in Anomalous while an AI works become steps of
its task, reach the AI once with its next call (kind "change": keep it), and the activity
entry names the task; the activity page links to it ("AI task ->").
- api/ai_task_runs.py: run watching moved out of ai_tasks.py (600-line rule); a step a restart
left "running" is marked stopped when the record is read again.
- Pictures: inspector / compare with canvas / keep as tools on hover instead of three buttons
under every picture; tick any two (any step or task) and compare from the bar at the foot of
the page; the results strip shows thumbnails again.

New task: the user starts a task (POST /anomalous/ai_tasks) that waits for
an AI; the next app that calls takes it over, so its work starts there
instead of joining its last task. Connect an AI (ui_ai_connect.js): the
address, a sentence to send the AI so it adds the server itself and
starts on a waiting task, and each common app's way; beside the task list,
on the empty page and in a waiting task. The stage now lists the task's
panels oldest first with their step numbers, the newest at the bottom (a
new one scrolls there, or "New panel" says it came), and the strip of
results runs oldest to newest. The routes move to ai_tasks_routes.py.

A box under a task's timeline sends the user's message (POST
/anomalous/ai_tasks/{id}/message), kept as a 'user' step; get_answers now
also brings the user's messages and, with no panel named, waits for one.
The step says whether the AI has seen it; when the task has ended the box
says to ask in the AI app. The task list is grouped by day with an icon
for where each task stands.

New panel blocks, data only and drawn by Anomalous: marks on pictures
(circles or boxes at fractions of the picture, numbered, labels under it
that zoom there), a before / after slider, picks (pictures with the AI's
reason, Take this one as an answer, Put on the canvas through ComfyUI's
own file loading, drag onto the canvas) and diagrams (boxes and arrows laid
out by ai_stage_layout.js; a box naming a canvas node finds it). No SVG
or drawing code of the AI's is taken.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
show_panel lays out a panel as a step of the AI's task from fixed blocks
(heading, text, pictures in a row, grid or side by side, the user's models
as cards with covers, table, list, params, progress, divider) and can ask:
buttons (one or several) and a line of text. api/ai_panels.py checks every
block (only these kinds, bounded plain text, pictures only from the output
folder, models only from the user's folders); nothing is run or read as
markup, and ui_ai_panel.js writes text only. Answers come in through
POST /anomalous/ai_tasks/{id}/answer and wait for get_answers (which can
wait up to 55 s); update_panel changes or closes a panel. A toast says
when a panel comes while the browser is elsewhere.

A new rail page keeps each MCP call as a step of a task (api/ai_tasks.py,
one file per task in the user folder, the newest 300): named by the AI
with the new begin_task tool, else one app's calls without a long pause.
A step keeps what it did and what it made (models, the combo, the canvas
change by its activity entry, the pictures a run made, watched in the
history until it ends, spoken audio, scans); the new report tool leaves
the AI's notes and pictures it made another way. The page shows the tasks
and one task's results strip and timeline with links (picture viewer,
model page, combo, find or undo on the canvas, audio), updates live, and
gives the rail a dot while you are elsewhere; Home lists the last tasks.

A download by name says where the list's file is; an entry of no stated type no longer
fits a node of known type; without the Manager, the page says it would be one more
source. docs/model-check-rules.md gets a section on the Manager.

The combo editor gets a head with its picture (See the picture), a large name with a
Rename button, chips of what it holds and Put on canvas; models show only what is chosen,
Change / Add open the grid of compatible ones. No Save button: everything saves itself
(a tag changed in the bilingual view now saves too). The gallery's ★ Kept lists only the
pictures kept as a workflow, combo or prompt.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A bar over the canvas finds combos, models and saved prompts as you type
(GET /anomalous/quick_index lists the models in a few words) and puts the chosen one
where the pointer was. Also in the empty canvas's right-click menu, now registered.
Saved model paths in a linked model folder get their real place.

A user found model folders cluttered after scans: four files per model.
model_sidecars.py now says where the plugin's own side files are (.info,
.anomalous.json, .civitai_bak.*): beside the model, or in the folder's
hidden .amb (Settings -> Models -> Files that come with models). Every
reader and writer goes through it and reads both places; covers stay
beside the model for ComfyUI and other plugins.
Scans no longer keep a copy of Civitai's picture identical to the cover:
the cover is noted as Civitai's (SHA-256 in the .info) and a copy is kept
aside only while the user's own cover shows. api/sidecar_layout.py moves
existing files and drops the duplicates to the Recycle Bin. The folder
tree leaves .amb out; the duplicated tree builder and cover owner check
are shared now (model_catalog.py, backup.py back under 600 lines).

The version manager takes an optional Checkout, so the companion node pack is
handled like the plugin itself: api/tts_version.py finds it among the
custom_nodes folders by its node class and accepts only a git clone of the
official repository; releases are fetched only on "Check for updates", an
update checks out the newest stable tag and can be undone. A checkout without
the release tags (cloned before it, then pulled) is matched by ls-remote.

With many models, or models on a network drive, every visit to the scan
page read every folder and, after a restart, every new model's header
again (79 s for 1041 models on an AutoDL model disk).
api/model_heads.py keeps what each file's header says by real path, size
and time in user/anomalous/model_heads.json (at most 50,000 files, the
longest unused dropped first, written a few seconds after the last
change, only once setup_routes called keep_on_disk); get_metadata reads
headers through it, so a header is read once per file version.
scan_summary keeps the last summary (memory, and scan_summary.json when
it changed); ?quick=1 hands it out at once and the page shows it with
"showing the last counts while they are updated", then the fresh ones.
Requests meanwhile await one count (_fresh). The models found on Civitai
(components apart, at most 5000 kept) are listed by GET
/anomalous/scan_matched; the page's "Found on Civitai" count opens them,
with Civitai's name, base model, a box to find one by name and Open.
Checked on the isolated ComfyUI reading the real loras and checkpoints
read-only (scans stubbed; no file there changed): the last counts showed
at once also after a restart, the fresh ones replaced them, the found list
had 68 models with names, the box filtered, Open and Back returned to it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Before an online scan (the scan page, a card's radar, after a download or
an import), scan_connection.js asks GET /anomalous/civitai_check, which
tries both of Civitai's addresses. When neither answers, a dialog says
why and offers Scan from the files (the offline scan, so nothing waits on
every model), Set a proxy (Settings → Models, Network) or Cancel. A check
that reached Civitai is trusted for five minutes. anomalousConfirm takes
okClass, so this choice is not drawn as a delete.
A model that is a link with no info beside it shows the info beside the
file it links to (metadata._info_base): A1111's Civitai Helper leaves
.civitai.info there. Only read there; covers, edits and scans stay beside
the link.
Checked on the isolated ComfyUI with the check and the scan request
stubbed in the page: the dialog's three choices (from files posts
offline_only, set a proxy opens the Models tab, cancel posts nothing),
an answering Civitai scans online without asking, and a second scan
skips the check.

1.60's own places that took a model file by name use the new helpers
too: the scan choice (model_file_within), the editor's covers, Tidy's
move (model_reference_within). Opening a folder keeps 1.60's "no file
name opens the folder". move_into tells a rename from a copy by where the
link is (lstat), so Tidy moving a linked model renames the link instead
of copying the model disk's file onto the server. The open-folder test
stubs through path_utils and also refuses "..".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On an AutoDL server every model in the models folder is a link into the
platform's shared, read-only model disk, named like 6b4679... without an
extension. Scans wrote the .info beside the link, but get_metadata
resolved the path and read beside the disk's file: a scanned model
showed as not scanned, under the disk's file name. Delete, edit, open
folder, MCP and saved-workflow lookups resolved the file too, so they
refused it as outside the models folder (or, for a link inside it, would
have acted on the file behind it).
path_utils.model_file_within joins a resolved folder with a bare name
(require_filename, which now refuses "." and ".." too);
model_reference_within resolves the subfolders of a relative path inside
the root, through links as before, and takes the file as named.
get_metadata reads beside the path it is given (abspath). Edits, renames
and deletes act on the link; nothing writes into a model file.
Checked with a link stood in by patching realpath (this computer cannot
make links): the info beside the link is read and the name is the
link's; "..", ".", "a/b" and a relative path leaving the root are refused.

On an AutoDL server civitai.com timed out while civitai.red, Civitai's
other address with the same API, answered in about a second, so scans
there fell back to guessing from the files.
civitai_client.api_hosts gives both addresses, the one that answered
last first; the scan's lookups, import's and Model Check's
(download_sources._civitai_json) and the network test ask the other one
when the first does not answer at all. An HTTP error is Civitai's own
answer and is not asked again. The test answers which host answered,
and Settings says so when it was civitai.red.
The pictures stay on image.civitai.com, which such networks often cannot
reach either: after COVERS_DOWN_AFTER (2) covers in a row that would not
download, a scan fetches no more covers instead of waiting on each.

On a cloud server with 1041 models not scanned yet, on the platform's
network model disk, GET /anomalous/scan_summary took 79 s, each time the
page opened, and the page stayed blank meanwhile: it read each new
model's header (for "looks like no drawing model") one after another.
The headers are now read 16 at a time (HEAD_READERS) and through
get_metadata, whose cache keeps each answer until the file changes, so
the page opened again reads none of them and the picker after it finds
them there. Opened afresh, a count slower than 400 ms shows "Counting
your models…" instead of a blank page.

Cloud users had to find the plugin folder and make allow_remote_changes
themselves. GET /anomalous/access now also answers another device with
"command": the line that makes the file (touch, or echo off > on Windows,
which works in cmd and PowerShell), or removes it when it is there, with
this server's real path, quoted. The chip's dialog shows it with a Copy
button; when the browser refuses the clipboard the line is selected for
Ctrl+C. The line only runs where someone pastes it, on the server.
anomalousAlert takes options.copy; copyText moved from ui_share.js to
ui_dialog.js so both use it.
Checked behind the stand-in gateway: without the file the dialog offers
the line that makes it, with the file the line that removes it; both
Windows lines tried in cmd and PowerShell.

The header's button rules are !important, so a <button> chip lost its own
colours and size; it is a span again, with role="button", a tab stop and
Enter / Space opening its explanation. The start-up line about
allow_remote_changes is flushed at once, so it shows even when ComfyUI's
output goes to a file.
Checked on an isolated ComfyUI behind a stand-in gateway that adds
X-Forwarded-For (as a cloud platform's proxy does): without the file the
page is view only and changes answer 403; with it the chip reads "remote
changes on" in yellow, a scan choice is saved and reset, and a picked
offline scan runs to the end.

ComfyUI on a rented cloud server (AutoDL, RunPod) is only ever opened
from another device, so since v1.58.1 the plugin was view only there.
An empty allow_remote_changes file in the plugin folder, made on the
server and read once at start, now makes local_guard.may_change true for
every request; the middleware and the routes that check for themselves
(import, placement, scan choice, recipe focus) use it. is_local stays for
import's search of this computer's Downloads and for MCP. The page cannot
make or remove the file, and the file is git-ignored.
GET /anomalous/access answers {local, changes}. The header chip is now a
button: "view only" says what is refused and the two ways for cloud users
(SSH tunnel, the file); with the file it reads "remote changes on", in
yellow, and says that anyone with the address may change things.
docs/guides/cloud-server.md explains both ways and the risk; README,
AGENTS.md rule 4, backend.md and the CHANGELOG (v1.61.0) say so too.

A pack used only through its panels or buttons leaves no record, so the
user can mark it as still in use (POST /anomalous/usage/keep, kept in
user/anomalous/usage_kept.json, only packs ComfyUI loaded). Marked packs
leave the groups for a list of their own; Unmark undoes it.

A node put on the canvas or a workflow opened and never run read as
"never used". The page now notes what each opened workflow holds
(usage_notes.js, POST /anomalous/usage/opened, kept apart from runs in
the run record) and the open tabs just before a check.
Packs whose nodes went unused but which also add to the page (buttons,
menus, monitors) get their own group: unused nodes do not say the pack
is. The packs count covers only packs that work through nodes alone.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ComfyUI keeps no lasting note of what a run used, so AMB now notes each
queued run's node types and model files (on_prompt hook, user/anomalous/
usage_ledger.json). "Not used lately" reads it with the outputs, now
sounds too, and the saved workflows, and judges nothing that came in the
last 30 days; while the record is younger than the group shown, the page
says so.
Node packs get their own page: installed for how long, whether they add
to the page, which packs take what only they make, and a button opening
ComfyUI Manager's node list searched for the pack. Packs without nodes
are listed apart, as nothing can tell whether they are used.

A Bilibili user asked for a way to clear out models and node packs they
tried once and no longer use, without breaking other workflows.
api/model_usage.py (GET /anomalous/usage/check, this computer only, run
on a press): when each model and node pack was last used, from the PNG
outputs' prompts (image_search's cached records now keep node types) and
the saved ComfyUI workflows, recipes, combos and parameter sets; models
match by path, file name or scanned SHA-256; reading is capped and
nothing is deleted there.
ui_model_usage.js under Tidy's two steps: not used for 30 / 90 days or
never, biggest first, the last output's date, a warning when a saved
workflow still names a model; picked models go to the Recycle Bin. Node
packs are only listed, with a button that opens the installed ComfyUI
Manager's node list (Manager 4 or 3, probed by its own routes; without
one it says so).

A Bilibili user's scan said Civitai could not be reached while their
browser reached it through a VPN app: the plugin's urllib requests only
use HTTPS_PROXY or the Windows proxy, not a PAC script or a browser-only
proxy.
net_proxy.py: the proxy address saved in api/config.json (NETWORK_PROXY)
that every request of the plugin goes through (Civitai, Hugging Face,
GitHub, translators), handed to the scan process as HTTP(S)_PROXY; empty
keeps the old behaviour. It also names why a request failed (timeout,
refused, dns, ssl, reset, proxy, http:<code>).
Settings -> Network has the address (SOCKS and malformed ones refused
with what to write) and Test connection, which calls 1.60's
/anomalous/civitai_check (brought here unchanged, now through the proxy
and with the failure's name). A scan that loses Civitai records why
(civitai_error) and the scan page and activity log say it with what to
try.

New users did not know to scan first. Until anything is scanned, Home shows a card with four
steps and "Set up for me": GET /anomalous/civitai_check (api/network_check.py, local requests
only) says whether Civitai answers and whether a set key is refused; when it does not, the card
offers Retry (with a proxy) or an offline scan. The scan never renames files or refetches,
whatever the scan page was set to; the card follows its progress. Never a popup; "Later" hides it
per browser and Home's "New here?" line brings it back.

AMB read models only from ordinary drop-downs, so rgthree's Power Lora Loader (rows are
{on, lora, strength} objects) was invisible: Model Check never reported its missing LoRAs.
Now its switched-on rows are Model Check boxes (lora_nodes.js powerLoraRowBoxes: ComfyUI's LoRA
list as choices, a fix changes only the row's LoRA; downloads put files in the same way), saved
fingerprints and a picture's model search read them, the workflow summary lists them, and saved
model references include them and Easy-Use LoRA stack rows (nodeModelValues /
_model_reference_values, mirrored). Only these widely used nodes; ComfyUI's loaders stay the
reference.
recipe_parser.js was over 600 lines: which LoRAs a node loads moves to recipe_loras.js and the
box readers to recipe_widgets.js.

The list column showed every type's tree (raw folder names, [Root] rows with 0, nothing marking
where you are), repeating the type chips above it. Now (ui_folder_list.js) it follows the chips:
the type's heading with "📂 Open", All, its subfolders as a tree whose numbers count their
subfolders (empty ones dimmed, folding per session in owner.collapsedFolders), and "In the top
folder" for models directly in the type's folder; the listed one is marked.
A Bilibili comment asked for quick ways to open model folders: POST /anomalous/open_model_folder
without a file name now opens the folder itself (type root or subfolder; still by type, index
and subfolder, never a path, local only). Tests in tests/test_model_folder.py.
Gone: the every-type tree, Expand / Collapse all, expandedFolders and their locale keys.

Follow-up to PR #21:
- The header shows All / Pictures / Videos beside the search (only once the output folder has
a video) instead of twelve chips; the formats move to Settings -> Gallery, stored as hidden
so a format added later shows.
- GET /anomalous/gallery_images lists pictures only unless media= says otherwise, so the recipe
cover picker and the MCP image search are unchanged; hide= drops formats (jpg covers .jpeg);
has_videos tells the gallery whether to offer the switch. .avi is left out (Chrome cannot
play it), .avif is a picture format in the filter too.
- The viewer stops the video however it closes (Esc included).
- Video cards have no View parameters, star or right-click menu, and the workbench steps
through pictures only.
- 图库, not 画廊; the 1.59 CHANGELOG entry credits cocorang and wkdtjs.

Windows keeps a background program (ComfyUI) from raising a window, so the
folder opened behind the browser and was easy to miss. After starting
Explorer, the route waits up to 3 s for its window (a new one, or the open
one Explorer reused, matched by the folder's name in the title) and raises
it, borrowing the foreground window's input queue for the moment.
