run_workflow's blanks were a fixed list (prompt, seed, size, image). Anything
else meant a set_values call per node, or yet another blank. Now `values`, on
run_workflow and on set_values without a node, sets any setting by its name, a
third-party node's too.
- The one node that has the setting gets it.
- When several nodes have it (a hires fix's two samplers), nothing changes and
the nodes are listed, so the AI names one: {"12": {"denoise": 0.5}}.
- One Ctrl+Z step for all of them.
The remaining blanks are roles (which prompt box, which latent), not setting
names. `prompt` now stops when several positive prompt boxes are combined into
one sampler (regional prompts) instead of giving them all one text. A refiner's
own prompt still gets it.
The scalar check moves from mcp_canvas_edit to mcp_fill (flat_values), which
both use; set_values keeps its argument order.

GPT's auto-wiring (4afee83) was checked on the isolated test ComfyUI. A splice behind
a node, a new branch, the branch choice and the loop check each took one call. A
ControlNet still failed both ways, because its positive and negative have the same
type as a sampler's. A LoRA after a checkpoint wired only its MODEL line.
- Same-type sockets of the same name pair up (positive to positive).
- wire_to into an input that is already fed puts the new node in front: the old
source now feeds the new node's matching input. A ControlNet before a KSampler
is 6 links in one call; a LoRA before the sampler and both prompts is 5.
- insert_after splices every type a node passes through.
- add_node errors call the new node #new instead of #-1 and say how to pick sockets.
- frontend.md: the canvas_wiring paragraph moves from Verification to the
mutation rules.

A small model plans poorly but follows a line well. begin_task,
run_workflow and run_status, add_node, connect_nodes and remove_nodes,
and an answered ask_user now carry next: the one thing to do now (wait
again, look at the pictures and report, wire what is still unwired, find
the missing model). The run's per-state note becomes that next.

Every chat began with 51 tools and about 43,000 characters of their
words, which a small model like Gemini Flash read half of before it
lost its way. The Gates window now offers either every tool or a daily
set of 19 (action_catalog.DAILY: runs of saved workflows with their
blanks, pictures, models and LoRAs, missing models, the task's own),
about 20,000 characters. tools/list follows the choice (ai_gates
tool_set, anomalous/ai_tools.json); calls are not limited by it, and an
app sees a change in a new chat. The window's rows share one builder.

A daily run took six or seven calls (find the workflow, open it, read
the canvas, set the prompt, the seed...), each a decision a small model
could get wrong. run_workflow now takes workflow (a saved one, opened in
the task's tab the first time and reused after: the page marks the tab
with the workflow's file) and blanks: prompt, negative, seed, width,
height and image (image_node when there are several LoadImage nodes),
planned by mcp_fill.js and checked before anything changes; the rest
stays as saved. A run with blanks asks as the stricter of the GPU's and
the canvas's gate. get_situation sends an AI whose run failed on a
missing model to check_workflow_models instead of other choices.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A small model lost its way wiring the canvas: describe_canvas says what
feeds each input but not what is still free or what fits it, so it
looked up every node type and kept the graph in mind, and long answers
were filed away by Antigravity for the AI to open.
get_situation (mcp_situation.py) gives the task (what the user asked
last, what waits for them, decisions, pictures, steps outside AMB), the
canvas in brief (mcp_canvas_brief.js: a line per node, the inputs a run
needs that nothing feeds yet with the outputs that fit, ComfyUI's
errors), the latest run and the next step, kept under 3,600 characters.
add_node, connect_nodes and remove_nodes answer with what is still
unwired. The connect sentence, the rules and the instructions point a
new chat to get_situation first.

Anomalous sees only the calls made to it; an AI app's own commands and
scripts are invisible, and one rewrote a result six times. When the AI
calls, Anomalous now looks at the top of the output and input folders
for pictures no ComfyUI run saved and pictures rewritten in place since
its previous call (by the files' own times, bounded, never in the
background; new pictures wait while a prompt runs), shows them as an
"Outside AMB" step and tells the AI with its answer (ai_outside.py).
log_outside is the AI's own word on a command or script it ran.
The connect guide gains rules to paste into the AI app's own rules:
use AMB's tools, change pictures only by running workflows, ask and
explain in AMB, and say what was done outside it.

A progress block on an AI panel is the AI's own number and never moves.
An AI drew one at 12% during a run, came back after the run with a new
panel and left the old bar standing, which read as live progress. Once
the task goes past a bar without an update (a run ends, a later panel or
note, the task ends), the stage now draws it grey and says when it was
written; update_panel records when a panel's blocks changed. The tool
text tells the AI a run's real progress shows already.
run_status before any run answers state "none" instead of failing, so a
task no longer shows a failed step for asking.
In a wide window the task column keeps its content to about 880 px in
its middle, as chat apps do, instead of stretching across the window.

In one hour Gemini ran 63 shell commands next to 23 AMB calls: checking files, cropping and
comparing parts of pictures, running OpenPose itself to see a skeleton, and painting pixels
with OpenCV (it overwrote an output picture six times).
- api/mcp_look.py zoom_image: part of a picture in the output, input or temp folder shown
larger, the same part of a second picture beside it; read only.
- get_image_info reads the temp folder too; run_status lists a run's PreviewImage pictures
(ai_task_runs.outputs_of(record, "temp"), kept as the step's previews, not its results).
- begin_task and the repaint note: AMB's tools cover looking; change pictures only by running
workflows, never by editing picture files with code of one's own.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The inpaint picture a repaint mark writes is in the input folder, which get_image_info did not
read, so the AI checked it with a shell command (and the user had to allow it). get_image_info
with folder=input gives such a picture's size and the area LoadImage gives as MASK (where and
how much), optionally attached; the marks message says the picture is in place already.

Antigravity saves a tool result over about 4,000 characters to a file and has Gemini open it;
in one evening 16 of its 32 file reads were AMB results (describe_canvas 9 times). Results are
now compact JSON (mcp_tools.tool_text, also for attached answers and run status), the canvas
leaves out the page's own "$$" widgets, and recent_activity gives the last 10 by default.
begin_task also tells the AI that AMB's tools cover models, pictures, nodes, canvas and runs,
so it need not read ComfyUI's folders, source or routes (each asks the user to allow it).

- ui_model_retype.js: on a model's page, and from the toast after importing one model: where it
is, what its header suggests (GET /anomalous/placement/look; picked and marked when it can
tell, nothing guessed when it cannot), every type with its loader, where it goes, moved as
Tidy moves (covers and notes along, never over a file). Kinds and the move's error words are
shared (model_import.IMPORT_KINDS, model_placement.moveErrorText).
- model_import.move_into: a copy to another drive is compared with the original at its start,
middle and end, besides its size, before the original goes.
- model_placement: the model a request names is resolved in one place (_source), which also
refuses a negative root.

move_into renamed with os.replace, which on Windows replaces a file that appeared after
free_path chose the name. _rename_new refuses a taken name (Windows' rename does by itself;
elsewhere a hard link of the file, or of a link itself), so the move fails and both files stay.

- ui_ai_now.js: over the message box, a run's progress with stop, the AI's step still going, a
gate to allow or refuse there, and the AI's open question with its options as buttons (own
words or skip too; several picks and pictures lead to the stage). progressWords is shared
with the run card; the panel's and gate's answers are exported for it.
- ui_ai_drop.js: pictures dropped on the box or pasted are kept in output/ai_inbox
(POST /anomalous/ai_pictures/upload, ai_pictures.save_upload: read as a picture first,
25 MB cap, never over a file) and attached; ComfyUI output pictures dragged in attach as they are.
- Long AI notes are folded to their first lines with "Show all".

The message box stays at the bottom of the task column however the timeline scrolls. Over the
input, what the message carries (ui_ai_tray.js): pictures with ✎ to mark up (sent on their own)
and ×, chips for what "@" names; gallery pictures are attached, not typed in as "@name". Beside
it the gallery and materials buttons with their counts; the input grows (Enter sends,
Shift+Enter breaks the line) and pictures alone may be sent. "New steps below" appears when the
AI adds steps while the user reads further up; one's own message scrolls into view. Pictures a
message carries show as small image cards with the usual tools. The ready page keeps the big
gallery and what is ready; the box below takes its pictures.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
From a hover audit of the AI workbench and the other pages: picked gallery pictures get a thick
glowing frame, tint and big tick; the picture button lights while open and counts the message's
pictures; weak hovers (materials rows, folded reads with a chevron, gate options, mode switch,
source menu, send and copy buttons, model tabs, set-up button, activity rows) are clear. The
Stage button opens an empty stage that says what goes there; "Hand to AI · 0" is disabled with
nothing picked; move_model's step names the file; a one-node change shows one "find"; the task
link chip keeps its size.

- model_kind: Anima LLLite, Qwen-Image block-wise and Z-Image Fun ControlNets (and other
ModelPatchLoader files) go to model_patches, not controlnet; import and Tidy follow.
- api/mcp_model_use.py: search_models / get_model say which node types load each model, or
where a misfiled one belongs; move_model moves it there behind a new "files" gate (asks by
default, never overwrites).
- An empty drop-down in add_node says ComfyUI found no file; the task tab switch is no longer
logged as the user's canvas change.
- The folded task list stays while the pointer is in the box around its button and the list.
- The message box's picture button picks gallery pictures; "@" offers the gallery's newest and
searches it as you type.

A task's pictures no longer in the output folder are marked gone when the
task is read and shown as "Picture deleted" (timeline, results strip,
stage panels and picks) instead of a broken picture; "@" no longer offers
them. The AI hears plainly that the user deleted one, and a tool reading a
gone picture says it may have been deleted.

A new task an AI begins while on another, or one the user starts while
looking at a task, keeps it as its "from". Links under the title lead both
ways, the list marks follow-ups, the user can link one by hand or take the
link off (never a loop), and an AI beginning a follow-up hears what was
decided in the task before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The AI records what was settled with log_decision (a card on the timeline:
what, why, what was left out, who decided, the steps it is about); the
user's own choices in Anomalous count as decisions too (panel answers,
gates, materials, the canvas mode, stops). A Decisions view in the side
column lists them all, links each to its step and notes work done since
the AI's last one; begin_task repeats them to an AI picking the task up.
A step's words move to ui_ai_step_body.js.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
"@" lists the task's pictures, combos, models, workflows, prompts, node
packs and node types; what is named rides with the message and the AI gets
each in full (pictures attached with what made them). "/" lists commands
that act at once (stop, undo, side views, new task, canvas mode) or fill in
words to send. get_toolbox shares the lookup.

A pack shown in the nodes' second column has a bar to pick it whole

Every answer, message, set of marks and handed picture shows a pill:

Panel questions can be skipped; the AI reads skipped: true.

- Each run keeps its shape read from the prompt ComfyUI queued (ai_run_map.py): boxes by role
with their settings, typed links, plumbing wired through, and what changed since the task's
run before. The run step shows a one-line summary, the changes as chips and the boxes (top
down, fitted to the column, each locating its node); show_run_map puts it on the stage.
- By default the AI works in a tab of the task's own (ai_task_canvas.py, mcp_task_tab.js): the
open workflow is copied before its first change, the tab is brought back (a click on
ComfyUI's tab) before later changes, reads and runs, and the user's tab stays untouched.
Per-task switch in the header, default in the Gates window; the AI is told once.
- Output pictures can be handed to the task an AI is on (gallery card menu, the inspector's
✦), with the user's words: the AI gets them attached with what made them (ai_pictures.py).
search_images(with_pictures) attaches the first six.

- A stop button on a running run (timeline, and beside the run-status button), and stop_run for
the AI: only this run's prompts leave the queue or are interrupted; the step ends "cancelled"
and a user's stop reaches the AI as a "stop" message (ai_run_control.py).
- The run's progress carries ComfyUI's console since it began (the bar's note, models loading),
time left and per step, and VRAM; once queued, each sampler's working size is estimated from
the prompt, with warnings for an upscaled picture sampled again, a size past the card and a
huge decode, for the user and in the AI's run news (ai_run_watch.py, ui_ai_run_live.js).
- The materials picker opens as a side panel that leaves the page usable (the full-screen
browser makes room), expands to the large window and back, and remembers the choice.
- Esc closes the run-status card only (data-anomalous-escape).

The marker gains a repaint brush (size adjustable) and "make a repaint
mask": the page sends a mask (white where boxes, circles, lines and brush
strokes are) and the server writes the picture with that area as its
alpha to ComfyUI's input folder (anomalous_inpaint_<step>.png, a new file
each time), so LoadImage gives the picture and the area as MASK. The AI's
marks message carries the file and how to inpaint with it; the timeline
says the mask is ready. Canvas tools read ComfyUI's lists anew once when a
value is not among a drop-down's choices, so they take the new file.

report takes reply_to, the id of the user's message or marks it answers:
the two steps point at each other and the timeline links them both ways
("Reply to step 2" / "The AI replied · step 4"). The AI's notes are laid
out (headings, lists, bold, code) by ai_text_format.js with textContent
only. The notice that brings the user's marks and messages, the report
description and the server instructions tell the AI to answer in
Anomalous, and to ask which fix with ask_user.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ask_user shows a question in the AI workbench (options with an optional
recommended one, and unless other=false a line for an answer of the
user's own; no options: a line) and waits in the same call for the
answer, returning the choice or the text. Choices blocks gain
recommended and other; the step is named ask_user ("Asked you"). The
server instructions, begin_task and the workbench prompt tell the AI to
ask every question this way, never in its own chat.

A large window: one search over every kind (/ jumps to it), kinds on the
left with picks and matches, a column by source (each custom node pack
with a badge of its own colour, ComfyUI's own, paid API nodes), prompt
origin or model type, a card grid drawn as it scrolls, the card in focus
in full on the right, and the picks below with thumbnails and a prefer /
only switch. A node card is the node in miniature, sockets in ComfyUI's
colours; combos, workflows and models show their covers; prompts their
text, including the prompts inside combos and workflows (combo:<name>,
workflow:<name>), which get_toolbox now resolves. Vector icons, badges
and the empty picture follow the theme.
It opens at once: node types come from the page's own definitions, the
rest in one answer (api/ai_toolbox_catalog.py) read ahead when a task
header is drawn and kept a minute, refreshed behind an open window.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A Materials button on each AI task opens a picker: every node type of this
ComfyUI grouped by source (built-in, each custom node pack from
/object_info's python_module, page-only helpers, paid API nodes last), plus
combos, saved workflows, prompts and models by the names the AI's tools
use. Picks go to the AI as a user_toolbox step (message kind toolbox), in
begin_task and in full from get_toolbox; "only" makes add_node and
new_workflow refuse other custom or paid node types (built-in stay
allowed). Favourites stand in for tasks without picks. find_nodes lists
picks first and marks paid API nodes. open_workflow opens a saved
workflow in a new tab; a workflow's page can hand it to the AI.
Checked on the isolated ComfyUI with copies of the user's 10 node packs:
all 1642 node types can be placed, and a Comfyroll workflow ran.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
find_nodes looks up this ComfyUI's node types (inputs, outputs, choices)
from its own /object_info. new_workflow opens a new tab, blank or built and
laid out from a workflow in API form, never touching the open one;
add_node, connect_nodes, set_values and remove_nodes edit it. Everything is
checked against the nodes before the canvas changes (types, loops, settings,
choices with close matches); each is one Ctrl+Z step, logged as the AI's
and shown under its workbench step. Receipts now show rewiring ("wired":
what feeds an input, before and after). A run ComfyUI refuses reports
ComfyUI's own reason instead of "Prompt execution failed".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bar under a run shows a percent like ComfyUI's tab title (the running
node's steps, else the nodes done). While a run goes, every other tool answer
carries your_run with one sentence on where it stands, and the next answer
after it ends says so once (run_status telling it counts), so the AI need not
look in the output folder or at the screen.

- ui_ai_marker.js: ✎ on a picture of the AI page opens the marker (box, circle, arrow, pen; three
colours; a note per mark and one for the whole picture). Send draws the marks onto the picture
and hands both to the task; the timeline shows the marked picture and the notes.
- api/ai_marks.py: the PNG is checked (signature, size, dimensions) and kept with the task in
anomalous/ai_marks/ (never the output folder; removed with the task); a user_marks step the AI
gets as a message of kind "marks", where each mark is in fractions of the picture, with the
marked picture attached as an image to the same answer (also from get_answers, whose tool now
returns the answer and those pictures).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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

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
