- 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.

Free Memory
Passes any wire through unchanged and, on the way, releases what can be released: comfy's cached models are unloaded, Python garbage is collected, and the CUDA allocator cache is emptied. Put it between a heavy stage and the next — after a video decode, before an upscale — so the second stage starts with free VRAM instead of an out-of-memory error.
Controls
- value: Any wire — the node's input and output are wildcard-typed, so
it splices into an
IMAGE,LATENT,MODEL, or any other connection without adapters.
Output
- value: The input, passed through unchanged.
Behavior
- Every release step is best-effort. If ComfyUI moves or renames one of the APIs involved, that step is skipped and the wire still flows; the node never becomes the reason a workflow fails. What was actually freed is printed to the console each run.
- The comfy imports happen when the node runs, not when the pack loads, so a core change surfaces as a skipped step rather than deleting the node from the menu.
- Like any node, it only runs when its input changes — it does not force re-execution, so inserting it never breaks ComfyUI's caching downstream. Freeing happens on the runs where work actually flows through.
- Models unloaded here are reloaded by the next node that needs them; that reload costs time, which is the trade for the freed VRAM.
