"Plugin" is not ComfyUI's vocabulary. What Manager installs into custom_nodes/
is a custom node pack, and what the Registry publishes is a "node" — so to
someone browsing the Registry, "plugin" reads slightly off-ecosystem, like
calling a VS Code extension an add-on. The README is the listing page, so the
wording is user-facing.
Replaces the eight occurrences with "node pack", "the nodes", or "this pack" as
each sentence reads best. "Extension" stays reserved for its narrow ComfyUI
meaning: the frontend JS registered via app.registerExtension, which is
web/styleref.js and nothing else.

Six comments attributed decisions to "owner decision 2026-07-22", and one test
cited a path inside the private monorepo (PromptFormatDropdown.tsx). Both are
meaningless to anyone reading this repo: an outside contributor has no idea who
the owner is, and cannot open that file. Each comment already gave its reason;
only the attribution goes.
Adds .comfyignore so tests/, scripts/ and .github/ stay in the repo but stay
out of the archive published to the Registry. Installing a pack copies that
archive into custom_nodes/ and leaves it there, and none of those directories
is imported at runtime — __init__.py loads styleref_nodes/* and server_routes
only. workflows/ is deliberately still shipped; the templates are the product.

The root templates ran on SDXL base, where every gallery style washed out. A
full compiled style is ~480 tokens and SDXL's CLIP attends to ~77 per chunk, so
the style was truncated before the sampler saw it. No checkpoint swap fixes
that, Juggernaut included: it is an SDXL finetune with the same encoder.
Root set now runs FLUX.1 dev (Comfy-Org fp8 all-in-one, since BFL's own file is
UNET-only and CheckpointLoaderSimple cannot load it), compiled from the flux
target, whose T5 encoder takes the whole prompt. FluxGuidance 3.5, CFG 1.0, and
ConditioningZeroOut on the negative input: FLUX is guidance distilled and has no
negative channel, exactly like Z-Image. Uses EmptySD3LatentImage because FLUX
works in a 16-channel latent space.
The two sets load different gallery styles on purpose. How well a style demos is
a property of the style and the model together: Z-Image reproduces painterly
technique and keeps the Renaissance style, FLUX is strongest at light and
tonality and takes a noir one.
Also:
- Adds the reference-images template the root set was missing, and renumbers
Facets to 05, so both sets are 01-05 with matching names. Both sets are now
pinned by test against a shared story list.
- Model download metadata moves to each node's properties.models, where ComfyUI
reads it, so a missing checkpoint offers a download instead of being silently
substituted.
- The Load node names the style its slug resolves to, on a read-only row under
style_ref, via a new /styleref/resolve route.

The pack cited internal planning-doc items (plan P3-7, decision D1, plan
risk 9.2) that aren't public, leaving outside contributors with pointers
they can't follow. Each comment already states its reason; only the
dangling citation is removed.
