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.

Models not on Civitai (Flux's VAE, T5 / CLIP text encoders, upscalers,
ControlNets...) are looked up by file name in the model-list.json of the
ComfyUI-Manager installed here (api/manager_catalog.py), keeping entries
that fit the node's folder type. With the workflow's fingerprint only the
listed file with that SHA-256 counts (same-name entries are each asked);
without one, a single entry is offered as "Download by name" with a
warning, never in Download all or the MCP's download_missing_models.
A site that stops answering is skipped for the rest of a lookup while the
others are still asked, so Civitai failing in mainland China no longer
stops Hugging Face through its mirror. GitHub raw file links count as
sources; a Hugging Face file behind a login offers its repository page.
