Workflows saved by the 1.x releases also end in a panel's empty value: the
preview panel on LaMa Inpaint and Mask Refine (Select Frame from 1.2.0) and
LoRA Loader's rows. The inputs added in 2.0.0 sit in those slots, so preview
opened as "" (the switch showed on, but the prompt ran without a preview)
and on_missing opened as "" (the menu showed Stop on missing LoRA off while
the node still stopped the run). Each now opens on its default, which is
also what an API prompt without the input runs with: the three cards reset
preview through resetUnknown, and LoRA Loader, which has no card, applies a
RESET_UNKNOWN when a workflow opens. On a real 1.x save (pack 1.3.0 saved by
frontend 1.47.12) only those four values change.
The guard's history now reaches back to 1.0.0. Mask Refine's preview was
inserted ahead of an existing socket rather than appended, so the table now
lists each node's last input as of this guard and APPENDED_SINCE declares
everything added since the node first saved an empty value. The fallback
check also reads RESET_UNKNOWN, and tests/test_card_fallbacks.py becomes
tests/test_saved_fallbacks.py, which checks both kinds.
Every card and DOM panel was added with options.serialize = false, which
only keeps a widget out of the queued prompt. The frontend saves each
widget whose own serialize is not false and hands saved values back by
position, so each card and panel saved an empty value of its own after the
node's real values, and an input appended to the node later opened holding
it (Stitch Inpaint's seam, Crop For Inpaint's keep_inside). Every DOM widget
now also sets widget.serialize = false, as the frontend's own previews do,
so new saves carry only real values.
Older saves still end in those empty values, and loading them now skips
the cards and panels. On every node that saves by position they come after
all real values (Save Image's card sits mid-list, but Save Image saves by
name), so nothing moves. On frontend 1.53.6 the examples (the 21 from
before the trim and the 7 now) and 14 older saved workflows queue
byte-identical prompts before and after, keep every value, and save and
reopen cleanly.
An input appended later still needs a fallback for those older saves.
tests/saved_widget_values.test.mjs checks that every DOM widget sets the
flag, that the examples keep their values with the panels skipped, and that
each input appended to a node whose older saves end in an empty value is
declared and, as a widget input, has a card resetUnknown fallback that
fires. tests/test_card_fallbacks.py (ComfyUI's Python) checks each fallback
is the input's own default. AGENTS.md states the rule.
Resolution Master is renamed Latent Size: the old name belongs to another
node pack. The node id AUSBOSS_NODES_Resolution is unchanged, so saved
workflows and API graphs load and run as before. Workflows only store a
title that differs from the default, so they pick up the new name; a saved
title that starts with "Resolution Master 🆎" gets the new name in its
place on load. The example, its thumbnail and the README image follow.
- Latent Size can be resized: wider stretches the chips, fields and size
picks, and taller gives the stage the room. It opens at 340 x 531 as
before and goes down to 320, where the size row tightens so W, H and MP
stay whole.
- LoRA Loader: gear -> Long names, end (the default, as before) or middle,
which keeps the checkpoint number at the end of a name in view. The
picker opens wide enough for long names and shortens the folder first.
- The frontend adds 104 px to a DOM panel's minWidth before using it as
the node's floor (LGraphNode.computeSize), so a node that opened
narrower jumped wider the moment its corner was touched: the LoRA Loader
could not go under 424. fillNodeHeight gains exactMinWidth, which
measures that padding and takes it back off, and holdVueNodeMinWidth
lends the floor to Nodes 2.0, whose corner drag reads the node's inline
min-width instead. Both nodes use them; the other panels keep their old
floors for now.
- README: the workflow-tools image shows Latent Size alone; the Seed card
is gone.
Four extensions each carried their own copy of the toast-or-console
fallback, transform upload failures used a blocking alert(), and a
failed video drop onto Load Video only logged to the console. They all
go through showToast now, so every message looks and behaves the same.
The info card's suggested-strength bounds were bare number inputs and
the gear menu's default strength and step were typed text boxes, the
last numbers in the pack that did not scrub. The scrub control gains an
optional empty state for bounds that may be absent ("any"), and gear
menu scrub rows take their own step and precision.
The pack's DOM panels must tell ComfyUI's change tracker about their
writes, and several did not: LoRA Loader row edits other than a few
menu actions, Compare's slide / A-B mode, and Mask Refine's AUTO. LoRA
rows now record on every commit, with strength drags recording once on
release, and the other two record when they change a saved value.
Reset restored every schema default, including the entries that mirror
the open node rather than a stored preference. On the LoRA Loader that
turned separate strengths off and copied each row's model strength over
its CLIP strength; on Resolution the popup showed a latent layout and
batch the node did not have. Reset now leaves those entries as they are,
and LoRA Loader gear edits enter undo history.
The lookup was the pack's only outbound request and a standing Registry
finding. Its info-card button, gear-menu switch, server route, sidecar
writer and hash cache are gone. A .civitai.info sidecar already beside a
LoRA is still read, so words and links from earlier lookups or other
tools keep showing.
ausboss: imported loras should land under the rows already in the stack.
Upstream entries first in chain order, then downstream; LoRA patches
accumulate, so apply order does not change what the graph computes.
Strength bars behind each row's name (name doubles as a scrub surface),
the absorb-chain gear action (core/rgthree/Pixaroma/AusBoss loaders,
both directions, originals bypassed), moved-file resolution at run time
with warn-and-skip for missing files plus the reconnect button riding
ComfyUI's R refresh, folder-free row names, the amber duplicate ring,
master-toggle memory, the control bar reclaiming the slot band, + LoRA
inside the stack, and unified strengths as a hard per-node default.
Pure logic merged from the lab's lora_lab.mjs into lora_stack.mjs;
settings_menu gains action rows and persist:false; _lora_helpers gains
match_lora_name and the resolve fallback; VALIDATE_INPUTS is structural
only so a missing file can never block the queue.
- Drag-to-reorder actually drops: the row preview's reparenting silently
released pointer capture, so the gesture now listens on the window for
its whole lifetime.
- Step arrows on every strength box (configured step; Shift = 0.01), with
range tinting carried over.
- The control bar (templates, stack toggle, count, settings) sits directly
on top of the row stack and + Add LoRA pins to the node's bottom edge;
the triggers output got its narrower name (slot links reconnect by index).
- Civitai lookup reads the whole response instead of the first TCP chunk,
so successful lookups stop dying as 'lookup failed'.
- Compare and Load Video declare their height floors WITH the DOM-widget
frame allowance, so minimum-height nodes stop shaving the caption and
trim strip; panel_layout documents the rule.
- README and the LoRA doc catch up; panel_guards comments follow the
body-as-layout-box reality.
- New nodes: Image Resize plus the Utility group (Text, Integer, Float,
Show Text, Math Expression, Select Every Nth, Split Batch, Merge
Batches, Free Memory) - the dependency-free gaps that let shared
workflows drop heavy packs.
- Replace with AusBoss nodes (prototype): preview-then-confirm graph
rewrite swapping known third-party nodes for pack equivalents, with a
tested translation map, per-node opt-out, and refuse-with-reason for
nodes the pack cannot stand in for.
- Load Video: single-frame FRAME picker, an honest "what will load"
label from the probed source rate, drop-a-video-to-restore. Save
Video: format-aware widgets and a file_path output. Stitch Inpaint
gained a blend_mask output, Select Frame negative from-the-end
indexing, Image Size a batch count - all appended, saved workflows
load unchanged.
- LoRA Loader: drag-to-reorder rows, hover thumbnails on rows, file
size and date in the info card.
- Appearance: flagship scheme deepened to slate-teal; the retired
bright-teal pair upgrades automatically via LEGACY_SCHEME_PAIRS.
Optional queue-completion chime, off by default.
- Image Resize invariant: pixels are only invented on an explicit
width+height pad request - scale-derived modes resolve divisible_by
snaps with a sub-half-step resize, never bars.
- Docs refreshed for six stale pages, stale text and metadata fixed
across the pack, the panel-height rule codified in AGENTS.md and the
brand skill, and ausboss_node_tour.json added - a model-free example
exercising 17 node types in one graph.
Validated: scripts/validate_nodes.py (24 files), 300 JS tests, all
Python suites under the ComfyUI embedded interpreter.
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.
