Both nodes now live under the "AB-button AusBoss" category in the node search, matching how established packs brand their category trees. The emoji travels to the frontend as JSON and is never printed to the console, so the ASCII import-output rule is unaffected. Also aligns the stale Phase 2 naming note in AGENTS.md with the AUSBOSS_NODES_<Purpose> keys.

Adding a polished node
New public nodes are admitted deliberately. Start with the workflow problem and contract, not a prototype file.
Contract first
Record the following before writing code:
- Purpose and repeated workflow it replaces
- Permanent
AUSBOSS_NODES_<Purpose>mapping key - Display name and
🆎 AusBoss/<Group>category - Required/optional input IDs in serialization order, types, defaults, limits, and tooltips
- Output names, types, and order
- Tensor shapes, batch behavior, caching, errors, side effects, and API-mode behavior
- Compatibility or migration behavior
Every visible field and output must earn its place. Published IDs, input order, widget meaning, and output order are API.
Implement narrowly
- Put independently testable processing in an underscore-prefixed helper under
nodes/. - Add one V1 wrapper in
nodes/node_<purpose>.pywithINPUT_TYPES,RETURN_TYPES,FUNCTION,CATEGORY, and both mapping dictionaries. - Add the module to
NODE_MODULESin__init__.py. - Add frontend JavaScript only when the normal schema cannot provide the required interaction.
- Namespace every route, extension, event, DOM marker, CSS class, cache, and browser state with
ausboss. - Chain lifecycle hooks through
chainCallback; never replace core or third-party prototypes directly. - Keep normal workflow and API execution independent from the custom frontend.
Document and prove
- Add rich help at
js/docs/<exact-mapping-key>.md. - Add a minimal workflow and matching JPEG under
example_workflows/. - Extend
scripts/validate_nodes.pywhen the new contract needs a permanent assertion. - Add pure Python and dependency-free JavaScript tests.
- Compile with ComfyUI's embedded Python.
- Verify
/object_info/<mapping-key>, ownership, served assets, routes, API execution, and queued dimensions/masks. - Test the actual canvas in Classic and Nodes 2.0, including save/reload, duplication, graph zoom, source replacement, and teardown.
- Scan the diff for paths, hosts, secrets, obsolete branding, placeholders, agent attribution, and non-ASCII import output.
Do not release a node that only works in the editor, only works for one source, or returns debugging outputs users do not need.
