Fifteen new bundled recipes, all render-validated under the stack's
default smart per-card timing: a ten-recipe designer artwork pack
(poster style, soft media, pattern energy, era print look, paper and
canvas, metallic accents, ornament borders, stained glass, and the
style-timing pair) and a five-recipe edit-and-composite pack (scene
light, monochrome look, atmosphere, background only, carry the subject
over). Recipe Kit README gains the smart-timing tuning rule (early is
the structure-phase volume; motif-scale borrows need early ~0.85), the
Builder reserves the new labels, and the docs list the full bundled
roster. V9 untouched.
Removes every stale claim left from the pre-retune era. The Recipe Builder's intent bases now mirror the shipped bundles (they still emitted palette-wash style/lighting/material and the even shapes table); intents whose built-in table differs from the role default always write layers, the style and lighting intents carry their shipped focus texts as defaults, and the reserved-label list includes the two newer starter recipes - all builder outputs re-verified through the real recipe loader. The remaining 0.2.1-era demo images (timing and direction journeys, material demo, showcases, gallery sheet) are re-rendered through the live nodes. README strength guidance moves to the render-calibrated bands; the V10 card page documents the four V10-only recipe overrides instead of claiming V9-identical behavior; user guides, testing checklist, docs index, and the Recipe Kit README are synced (five starter recipes, built-in focuses, strong-blur taming pattern).
Full V10 documentation audit pass:
- README: What V10 Adds now covers focus, the auto-loaded starter recipes,
and the Recipe Builder; workflow table lists the new example.
- New example workflow krea-v10-starter-recipe-workflow.json: cinematic
color grade (from the shipped starter pack) grading the scene from the
bundled style reference - configuration render-validated on the live node.
- V10 user guide: 'Focus: recipes that study one aspect' section with the
render-verified select/de-select evidence and limits; What V10 Adds rows;
focus troubleshooting entry (MD + HTML, incl. the What-V10-Adds grid).
- V10 documentation index refreshed: Recipe Kit + Builder + standalone tech
reference in Start Here, the full twenty-demo journey list (away render
and balance pair included - no more 'pending' notes), starter-recipe
workflow, maintainer touchpoints incl. the builder and recipe-lab.
- Stack encoder node page: deep-dive points at the standalone V10 technical
reference; report bullet mentions the focus line.
- Testing guide: V10 smoke checklist covers starter recipes, focus report
lines, and the Builder; demo-renders section describes the current
twenty-journey set and its regenerator script.
All 7 example workflows parse; 57/57 tests; doc links verified.
Ten ComfyUI-rendered demos under docs/assets/krea-v10/demos/: the four
new recipes (with a prompt-only before/after pair for the deliberately
gentle palette recipe), the per-card timing pair (early layout only vs
final details only - same card, same seed, two very different
pictures), the direction journey (prompt-only baseline vs style pulled
toward, the contribution an away card negates), and the six-card full
showcase. recipe-gallery.png contact sheet and guide-demo-manifest.json
(model, prompt, seed, strengths, lesson per demo) included.
Every result PNG embeds the matching V10 workflow for drag-in
inspection. Renders were produced on the LAN Krea 2 ComfyUI through
mathematically identical V9 graphs (built-in recipes where shared,
manual mode with dial values equal to the V10 bundles elsewhere), as
recorded in the manifest's engine_note; the away-direction and
balance-comparison renders require V10 on the render box and are
tracked as pending in the manifest and testing guide.
Both V10 guides now show every step of each journey - input images,
recipe and settings, exact prompt, and result - with a shared
house-settings table, and the V9 Markdown guide gained demo prompt and
seed rows on all nine recipe cards. Landing pages, the V10 index,
README, and CHANGELOG link the new gallery.
Schema-validated YAML/JSON files become first-class "Use image for"
choices, loaded from custom_recipes/ in the pack and from
<ComfyUI user dir>/krea_reference/recipes/ (survives pack updates).
INPUT_TYPES re-scans per call, so node-definition refresh picks up new
files without a restart.
Validation (kg_krea_v10/custom_recipes.py) is strict about keys - an
unknown key rejects the recipe so typos cannot become silent no-ops -
and forgiving about omissions: only label and role are required, with
every other field defaulting from the role's tuning tables. Reserved
labels cover both the purpose labels and the internal recipe keys, so
custom labels cannot shadow built-ins in either direction. Invalid
files are skipped with logged reasons and the node always loads; a
saved workflow whose recipe file was removed falls back to balanced
with a once-per-label warning instead of silently reading manual rows.
Custom recipes compose with direction, timing, and the guard clamp;
packets carry custom_recipe and custom_recipe_source. Ships with
custom_recipes/README.md plus a disabled template, a full teaching
section in both V10 user guides, node-doc and technical-companion
coverage, and nine new contract tests (51 total).
Example workflows (generated from the real V10 INPUT_TYPES so widget
order and combo values cannot drift from the node contract):
- krea-v10-full-showcase-workflow.json: six cards including the new
palette, environment, and framing recipes, per-card timing, gentle
balance, and the report/prepared-references previews wired.
- krea-v10-counter-example-workflow.json: toward content anchor plus an
away style counter-example.
- krea-v10-reference-stack-workflow.json: compact starter mirroring the
V9 starter graph.
Documentation mirroring the V9 set:
- docs/krea-v10-user-guide.md and .html (visual guide, same styling as
the V9 HTML guide).
- docs/krea-v10-technical-paper.md: companion paper for the V10
mechanics (direction math, timing rewrite, balance budget, study
cache correctness, feedback outputs, packet cross-compatibility,
verification map, limitations, extension points).
- docs/krea-v10-documentation-index.md and V10 rows across the docs
landing page, node index, workflow README, and root README.
- docs/testing.md: V10 smoke checklist and the demo-render release step
(V10 demo PNGs land under docs/assets/krea-v10/demos/ at release).
Krea 2 V9 reference-conditioning nodes: guide cards assign each
reference image a role (identity, style, lighting, composition,
text/logo safe, and more) and the stack encoder builds Krea
conditioning with per-card strength, per-layer gains, and guarded
prompt handling. Includes the kg_krea_v9 package, web extension,
example workflows and assets, contract tests, and full documentation
with the technical paper.
Prior development history is summarized in CHANGELOG.md (0.1.0-0.1.5).
