- Added Qwen3.8-27B-ABLITERATED-GGUF model to the model catalog with detailed specifications and context length.
- Improved duration widget behavior to ensure it remains hidden for non-video presets and preserves last valid values.
- Updated documentation to clarify duration handling and widget visibility.
- Expanded test coverage for model catalog labels and Qwen3.8 model presence in both text and vision catalogs.
- Refactored model access functions to better manage installed models and local paths.
- Enhanced tooltips and recommendations for model selection, emphasizing installed and local models.
- Fixed issues with dynamic duration-widget serialization and visibility in the frontend.
Refactor the monolithic QwenVL implementation into focused core modules for model access, Hugging Face runtime and configuration, prompt state, prompt contracts, and media helpers while preserving the public compatibility facade.
Add duration-aware LTX 2.3 and MiniMax H3 prompting, including effective-duration cache identity, MiniMax frame-grid normalization, dedicated T2VA/I2VA/FL2VA/L2VA/reference contracts, and best-effort output normalization.
Improve streamed output handling by separating reasoning from final content, rejecting unfinished thinking traces, sanitizing terminal-only punctuation for legacy Windows code pages, and retaining original Unicode in responses and traces.
Expand preset recommendations, ComfyUI tooltips, system prompts, and documentation for video token budgets, thinking settings, reference roles, dialogue fidelity, and duration behavior.
Keep HF and GGUF consumers on canonical shared imports, preserve mutable export identities across reloads, and extend regression coverage for compatibility, downloads, caching, prompting, streaming, and node registration.
