- 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).

A block node can be "like" a role (takes its settings) or "replace" it (its
links, place and settings too; LanPaint's sampler for the KSampler). $save is
the output node the picture reaches, past a stitch. Upscale blocks take an
upscale model this ComfyUI has; control blocks a ControlNet whose base fits the
canvas's model, and the picture to follow copied into the input folder. The
directory is grouped by job, a few words a block, to keep begin_task short.
Drop-down choices are read in both forms of ComfyUI's node list.

A Flash exam showed the crop-and-stitch repaint painting a whole new
person into the hand: the context margin was 1.2 where the distilled
workflow used 2.0, and the sampler kept denoise 1 and the whole
picture's prompt. A block can now set settings on the canvas nodes it
finds (roles: the sampler's denoise 0.75, in the same Ctrl+Z step),
and the block's answer and the repaint note tell the AI to set the
prompt to what belongs in the area. Retake: a natural hand.

api/reference_blocks.py holds groups distilled from workflows that do
one job well: a repaint that crops around the mark, repaints at 1024
and stitches back (ComfyUI-Inpaint-CropAndStitch), the same with
built-in nodes only, and face and hand detailing (Impact Pack, the
detector models this ComfyUI has). begin_task hands the AI their
directory; add_nodes(block=...) builds one in one call. Its links name
roles web/modules/canvas_roles.js finds on the canvas by their sockets
(the sampler, its decode and save, what feeds an input upstream), so
canvas_wiring splices it into the workflow there; several samplers
need near_node_id, a missing pack names the pack and the stand-in.
The repaint note now points to the block. Checked on the test ComfyUI:
the repaint changed the marked area only, the detailer the face area.
