ComfyUI-ThinkingLLM Maintainer Notes

Fork lineage

License: GPL-3.0 is preserved via the inherited LICENSE.
Primary fork lineage: Deaquay/ComfyUI-Qwen3.5-Uncensored.
Prior lineage referenced in code/docs: huchukato/ComfyUI-QwenVL-Mod and 1038lab/ComfyUI-QwenVL.
Internal Qwen and QwenVL identifiers remain in code where they are technically meaningful and lower-risk to keep.

HF nodes are cross-platform in principle because they use transformers, torch, huggingface-hub, Pillow, opencv-python, and optional bitsandbytes/accelerate.
HF attention auto-detection is now Linux-only for flash_attn; non-Linux platforms fall back to SDPA unless SageAttention is available.
GGUF nodes require a vision-capable llama-cpp-python build that exposes Qwen3VLChatHandler or Qwen25VLChatHandler.
Windows GGUF setup is wheel-driven in LLAMA_CPP_PYTHON_VISION_INSTALL.md and should use a matching win_amd64 wheel for the exact Python and CUDA runtime.
Linux GGUF setup can use the matching Linux CUDA wheel from the same guide; optional Linux-only flash_attn wheels are documented in the existing README.

Metadata has been rebranded to ComfyUI-ThinkingLLM with publisher id goodguy1963.
Repository URLs currently point at the planned GitHub location https://github.com/goodguy1963/ComfyUI-ThinkingLLM and need a real remote repo before registry publication.
Registry and ComfyUI-Manager publication use the semantic version in pyproject.toml as the source of truth.
Keep the same version mirrored in the __init__.py metadata block and custom_nodes.json so local ComfyUI metadata and manager-facing metadata stay aligned.
README still contains historical upstream links and changelog references beyond the top-level fork identity; that is acceptable for attribution, but a docs pass should normalize publish-facing instructions before release.
