A VALIDATE_INPUTS that takes **kwargs makes ComfyUI skip its own range
and list checks for every input, and a failed check comes back once per
input: Image Crop + Rotate + Pad without a picture showed 20 copies of
"Select or upload a source file first". Each validator now names only
what it reads.
- Image Crop + Rotate + Pad, Load Video and LaMa Inpaint read one input
and report one error, on it. Video Crop + Rotate + Pad (Frame and
Clip) read the three that choose the source. LoRA Loader reads the
stack and on_missing; Save Image reads its two names and output_dir.
- Save Video has no validator any more: ComfyUI's own check holds a
typed fps to 0.01-240.
- Load Video and the Clip node check the trim window, force_rate and
Fixed frames as they run, where a wired bound has its value. They are
async, so ComfyUI starts them ahead of other nodes.
- The sources still skip ComfyUI's list check on purpose, so uploads,
subfolders, MaskEditor saves and a stale video choice in local path
mode keep working. The path checks behind them are unchanged.
- crop_aspect_ratio accepts any whole-number W:H, as the transform
always has, so a workflow made with someone else's presets still runs;
anything else is now refused before the run.
tests/test_validate_inputs.py pins what each validator names (runs in
CI) and, with ComfyUI, drives ComfyUI's own validation.
An unused math import in the Krea 2 core, an unused os import and
stitch_blend_from_mask import in the clip tests, and result assignments
nothing read in the Save Image caption test. ruff check --select F,E9
is clean again.
Video Crop + Rotate + Pad -> Clip decodes through Load Video's helper,
whose errors hard-coded "Load Video" and, when a trim would not fit in
memory, told the user to set custom_width/custom_height - inputs the
Clip node does not have. The decode now takes the calling node's name
and its own advice; the Clip node suggests every_nth, max_frames and
fixed_frames. Load Video's messages are unchanged.
apply_stitch already keeps the leading frames when a video model returns
fewer than the stitcher holds (LTX keeps 8n+1, Wan 4n+1), but
stitch_blend_mask still demanded the full per-frame mask, so the node
printed "stitching the first 49" and then failed building its blend_mask
output. Both paths reproduced it: the Clip node's per-frame stitcher and
Crop For Inpaint with a per-frame mask. The mask now follows the stitch;
asking for more frames than the stitcher holds is still an error.
The video transform nodes' local_path widget was read by every queued run,
so any client that can reach the unauthenticated /prompt route could make
the server open any video on the disk. Local path mode now reaches only
ComfyUI's input, output and temp folders unless ComfyUI is started with
AUSBOSS_TRANSFORM_LOCAL_PREVIEW=1, for queued runs and editor previews
alike. Tooltips, help pages, README and CHANGELOG say so; the clip node's
test fixture opts in explicitly.
Video Crop + Rotate + Pad -> Clip / -> Frame:
- The rail under the preview is a timeline: playhead scrubbing on the node
face, frame-accurate IN/OUT handles that carry the playhead, Set IN/OUT
and I/O keys in the editor; js/shared/timeline_math.mjs mirrors the
backend's inclusion rule and emits hundredth-grid seconds.
- Scrubbing no longer flickers: storyboard tiles only stand in when nearer
than the frame on stage and are decoded at their target times; the scrub
session returns the frame it already decoded instead of the next one;
served previews are cached.
- Aspect lock on the format chips (pad, lock, clear) with lockPadding in
transform_geometry; Lock aspect in the editor.
- A new source keeps fill, feather, resize, Snap and Limit and re-pads to
the lit chip; a canvas row (fill, feather, resize) sits on the node face.
- The clip node declares a black fill and feather 0 as its defaults and the
editor's Reset all follows the node's own declaration, so a fresh node or
a reset never lands on the grey, feathered canvas the LTX IC-LoRA cannot
paint; image nodes keep grey/24.
Examples:
- LTX 2.3 Video Outpaint: Select Frame -> core Generate Text writes the
positive prompt; note rewritten with the tested rules (53 renders over
six clips: only fill #000000 + feather 0 decide painting).
- Core model loaders coloured and Workflow Notes grown to fit across the
other examples.
