Six fixes found while testing every node against real workflows.
LoRA Loader: the "wrong base model" warning never fired on a modern stack.
It matched comfy's model class name against a table covering 8 of the 81
classes comfy ships, so Krea 2, Qwen, WAN, LTXV, Z-Image and friends read as
"unknown" and skipped the check entirely - an SD 1.5 LoRA on Krea 2 patched
nothing, changed nothing, and said nothing. It now measures the applied-patch
count across model and CLIP before and after each row and warns when a row
patched nothing, which needs no table, no LoRA metadata, and works on every
model family. base_model_family also stopped mining ss_sd_model_name: that is
the trainer's source filename, and reading substrings out of it labelled any
..._v1.safetensors as SD1.5 and anything containing xl as SDXL.
LM Studio Chat: reasoning returned in the server's own reasoning_content field
now reaches the thinking output. Only inline <think> tags were read, so with
gemma/qwen-style hybrids the whole reply landed in a field the node never
looked at and text came back blank. An empty answer now explains itself,
naming the max_tokens budget when the model ran out of room mid-thought.
Compare: the stage follows the node's height, not only its width. Its panel
declared a computeSize, and the widget layout gives any widget that defines one
a fixed height and leaves it out of the leftover-space split, so dragging the
node taller only added dead space under the image.
Pad Image / Load Image + Pad: a stitcher output, so an outpaint can put the
source back exactly. Padding now builds the same stitcher shape Crop For
Inpaint emits - the crop is simply the whole canvas - so the existing Stitch
Inpaint node serves both and no second stitch node has to exist. Appended
last, so saved workflows keep their links.
Settings menus: editing one row no longer reverts the others. Each save handed
back a value set rebuilt from stored defaults, silently replacing every other
row on a node whose workflow differed from those defaults.
LoRA templates popover: Save was clipped off the panel edge and each saved
row's delete x was stretched across the whole row - one blanket
.ausboss-lora-menu button rule outranked the specialized buttons inside it.
The audit compared every node against ComfyUI core and the major packs;
this lands its outcomes in one branch.
On-node visual editing (the old Codex-pack interaction, rebuilt):
- New Load Image + Pad: image loader with whole-edge pad dragging on the
node canvas, align-to-multiple rounding, and a megapixel target that
rescales the source before padding so the mask seam stays binary.
- Pad Image gains the same handle canvas, fed by an execution-time
snapshot of its input; wireframe with diagnostic empty states before
the first run. Widgets, outputs, and saved workflows unchanged.
- Image Crop + Rotate + Pad's compact panel is now a live stage - crop,
pad, and rotate handles on the node, one shared implementation with
the full-screen editor so the two surfaces cannot drift.
Feature gaps closed against the ecosystem:
- Crop For Inpaint: target_megapixels, selectable rescale_algorithm
(recorded in the stitcher for the paste-back), and extend_* inputs
that grow the frame itself for outpainting.
- Save Video: format choice - mp4 h264, mp4 h265, webm vp9 with Opus
(resampled to 48 kHz); CRF drives all three.
- Load Video: every_nth thinning (fps output divides to match) and a
max_frames cap that ends the decode early.
- LoRA Loader: saved stack templates behind a bar button, and a console
warning when a LoRA's base-model family disagrees with the checkpoint.
- LM Studio Chat: history in/out for multi-turn chains and a json_schema
widget for structured replies.
- Drop Shadow: multiply blend and a shadow_mask output. Align Image:
offset outputs for un-aligning after sampling. Color Match:
first_frame reference mode as a one-node video flicker fix.
Removed (backed up in git history): Select Frame Range and the Video
Bundle family - core ImageFromBatch and the core VIDEO wire now cover
both jobs. Dead NODE_ID module variables cleaned out of every node file.
455 Python tests, 216 JS tests, validate_nodes.py green on 19 node files.
Frame Chooser: the notice inflated the grid's auto flex basis and squeezed
the action buttons into the bottom clip - the grid now flexes from a zero
basis, the fixed rows never shrink, and idle gets a little more room.
LoRA Loader: the empty state is just 'No LoRAs yet' and is itself a click
target that adds a row and opens the picker.
Align Image: pad mode gained an anchor (pad_position), a fill choice
(replicate or color), and pad_color - all hidden outside pad mode, the
color field hidden until the color fill is chosen.
LM Studio Chat: the gear moved off the node's tail into an endpoint
toolbar - status light, Test (asks the server for its model list through a
new /ausboss/lmstudio/models route; green/red + toast), Models (pick from
the server's list straight into the model field), gear. A visible
unload_llm switch frees the LLM right after the reply via LM Studio's JIT
ttl, overriding the gear's idle timer.
Full-width filled Add button, master-toggle bar with the gear, rows in an
inset stack with a dashed empty state, system-ui info glyph. The gear
holds default strength, strength step, separate model/CLIP strengths, the
trigger-word separator (a hidden widget the output honors), hide-extension,
thumbnail, and Civitai-lookup preferences.
The frontend sizes a DOM widget's wrapper as widget.width ?? node.width
(GraphView, useDomWidget updateWidgets), and LiteGraph's layout plants
widget.width during draws. Once planted it outranks the node width
forever: resize the node narrower and the wrapper keeps the old width,
parking the panel's right edge - and the LoRA row's strength and info
controls - outside the border. None of the containment guards could
reach it: border-box and the overflow clip act at the wrapper's edge,
which is precisely the thing that is too wide, and the minimum-width
paths only stop the node going BELOW a floor, not the wrapper staying
ABOVE the node.
Diagnosed from a console measurement in the reporting browser (wrapper
styled 470px on a 328px node, scale 1.21) and reproduced exactly by
planting widget.width = 470: overflow +183px. keepDomWidgetWidthAuto
defines width as a discard-writes accessor, so the frontend's lookup
stays on its node-width fallback for the life of the widget. All six
DOM panels call it, the policy test requires it, and the fix was
verified end-to-end in a live classic-renderer session: with the plant
attempted, the wrapper tracked the node through narrow, add-row,
linked, grow and shrink at -13px inside the border throughout.
The strength box and info button hung past the node's right edge, two
gaps stacked: the panel's 10px padding rendered outside the width the
frontend allocates (content-box), and nothing declared a minimum width
to the modern layout - computeSize clamped the PANEL to 300px, but
without computeLayoutSize the NODE could be resized narrower, and the
row's fixed-width trailing controls kept their size while the picker
shrank to nothing.
Every other DOM panel in the pack already carries the full guard set -
border-box, an overflow clip, computeLayoutSize minWidth, minNodeSize -
through the shared video root or its own CSS; the LoRA loader was the
one that had none of it. It now matches the house pattern, sharing one
PANEL_MIN_WIDTH constant across every sizing path the frontends
consult so the panel and the node can never disagree about how narrow
is legal.
tests/panel_guards.test.mjs makes the pattern policy: every entry that
calls addDOMWidget must carry the guards or mount the shared root that
does. Against the pre-fix file it fails 3 of 5.
