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 star turns at once with a little bounce, the value fades in (one unmarked fades out), a failed save turns it back; quick presses queue instead of being refused. Focus values save alone through POST /anomalous/recipe_focus (this computer only, size-capped read, only focusParams written, no version), instead of a full recipe update that kept a version and re-read every model each time.
