* feat(ai_pipeline): no_subfolders toggle + path normalisation + tooltips
Three EasyAIPipeline improvements with a 49-case test suite pinning
the behavior so the user-reported "phantom undefined/ folder" bug
can't regress.
no_subfolders (default off): write directly into base_directory_path
with no shot_name/ai_method/vNNN subfolders appended. Base folder is
still auto-created if missing.
Paste-input hardening: _normalize_base_path strips surrounding
whitespace, one matched pair of quotes ("..." from Explorer's Copy
as path), and trailing path separators. Drive roots (C:\, n:/) are
preserved. Plus a belt-and-suspenders rstrip on the final
output_directory — fixes the symptom where a trailing backslash on
the user's pasted base path caused downstream save nodes to split
on /, stringify the empty tail as "undefined", and write into
.../undefined/... on disk.
Smart filename: empty pieces of shot_name / ai_method / vNNN are
filtered before the underscore join, so blank ai_method yields
RTX-upscale.exr (not RTX-upscale_.exr). Same rule for subfolder
build.
Tooltips on every input explain interactions (e.g. ai_method
becomes both filename segment and subfolder; enable_overwrite only
blocks an existing file, not directory).
JS preview helpers in web/ai_pipeline.js mirror the Python so the
Get output directory / file path buttons stay accurate.

* fix(ai_pipeline): sanitize shot_name/ai_method to prevent base-path escape
Reviewer-flagged blocker in PR #156: os.path.join's "last absolute path
wins" rule let absolute-looking shot_name or ai_method values (typos
like "/oops", or pasted full paths like "C:/Windows/junk") replace
base_directory_path entirely. The pre-#156 code had a partial defense
(.lstrip('/')) that the refactor dropped without replacing.
New _sanitize_segment helper: lstrip leading separators → splitdrive →
lstrip again. Strips leading seps BEFORE splitdrive so multi-slash
input like "///oops" doesn't get swallowed as a UNC prefix on Windows
(empirically observed — the user's intended segment name would be lost).
Applied symmetrically to directory build and filename build. Raw
shot_name kept in the return tuple for downstream label-only consumers.
Also fixes a minor JS preview mismatch at web/ai_pipeline.js: empty
base + no_subfolders=true used to render "/name.exr" while Python
returns "name.exr". Filter empties before joining the file_path.
16 new tests pin both the helper and the end-to-end escape vectors:
- TestSanitizeSegment (7 unit tests, platform-aware drive handling)
- 4 parametrised absolute shot_name escape cases
- 4 parametrised absolute ai_method escape cases
- 1 filename-leak regression
Full pytest: 102 passed.

* fix(ai_pipeline): flatten embedded separators in shot_name for filename
Maintainer-reported: with no_subfolders=true and an upstream node feeding
shot_name="ComfyUI-working-folder/LTX-Director-2K", the output was
base/ComfyUI-working-folder/LTX-Director-2K.%04d.exr — still creating
subfolders via the filename concat, defeating the toggle entirely.
Root cause: the prior fix sanitized only LEADING separators (path-escape
case). Internal separators in shot_name slipped through and became
subfolders when the filename string with embedded "/" was joined onto
output_directory by the filesystem.
Fix: filenames can't contain "/" or "\\" on any OS, so always flatten
them to "_" in the filename build. Directory build with
no_subfolders=false still uses the separators as subfolder delimiters
(intentional — users organizing into Project/v1/ai_method/vNNN want this).
With no_subfolders=true, shot_name="job/shot" now correctly produces
base/job_shot.ext (flat in base), not base/job/shot.ext.
3 new tests:
- Maintainer's exact case (no_subfolders=true + slash in shot_name)
- Belt-and-suspenders across 5 shot_name/ai_method/toggle combinations
- Verify no_subfolders=false still creates subfolders from slashes
(preserves intended use case)
Full pytest: 110 passed.

* fix(ai_pipeline): strip control chars + single-line Output Preview
Maintainer reported the file_path preview rendering as two visual lines
("n:/.../bear/...LTX-Director-2K" + newline + "_0.%04d.exr") and the
output looking like it contained a literal newline. Two contributing
causes:
1. The multi-line Output Preview widget word-wrapped long single-line
paths at the textarea edge. The data was always one logical string,
but the visual break made it look broken. Fix: set wrap="off",
whiteSpace="pre", overflowX="auto" on the input element so long
paths render on a single horizontal-scrollable line.
2. Upstream nodes (WAS Text Multiline etc.) can legitimately emit
strings with embedded \n / \r / \t — a stray paragraph break in the
widget content. Those would silently break filesystem saves and ALSO
wrap the preview at the actual newline character (not just the
textarea edge). Fix: new _strip_control_chars helper, applied at the
top of _normalize_base_path and _sanitize_segment (covers
base_directory_path, shot_name, ai_method) plus explicitly on
extension in generate_pipeline. Mirrored in JS for preview parity.
9 new tests: 6 helper unit tests, 3 end-to-end (shot_name w/ newline,
base path w/ newline, extension w/ newline).
Full pytest: 119 passed.

* fix(ai_pipeline): strict whitespace strip on extension + revert widget
Two issues, one commit:
1. Maintainer reported ComfyUI-HQ-Image-Save bailing with "Filepath
needs to end in .exr" even though our preview showed a clean
.%04d.exr suffix. Root cause: HQ-Image-Save validates via
os.path.splitext(filepath)[1].lower() != ".exr" — a single trailing
space on the extension widget (easy to acquire from a paste) makes
splitext return ".exr " with the space, which fails the strict
equality. Previous control-char strip only handled \r\n\t and
left regular spaces alone.
Fix: extension now runs through "".join(extension.split()) which
removes ALL whitespace (internal + surrounding, including unicode
whitespace and non-breaking spaces). Mirrored as cleanExtension
in JS. Also added .strip() to _sanitize_segment so shot_name /
ai_method with stray surrounding whitespace canonicalise too.
2. Reverted the Output Preview widget from the previous commit's
single-line wrap=off + horizontal-scroll layout back to the
original multi-line word-wrap (100px height, default textarea
behavior). The earlier change traded mouse-drag-selectability for
single-line display — wrong tradeoff. The path is one logical
string anyway (cleanLine strips real newlines), so visual wrap is
just cosmetic.
9 new tests:
- 6 parametrised extension whitespace cases (trailing/leading/internal
space, tab, non-breaking space) — all verify HQ-Image-Save's
splitext check passes after sanitization
- 3 parametrised shot_name surrounding-whitespace cases
Full pytest: 128 passed.

* feat(ai_pipeline): no_subfolders keeps version folder; v### in tooltips
Maintainer-clarified semantics for the no_subfolders toggle: it should
only drop shot_name / ai_method from the directory chain, NOT the
version folder. Previously, no_subfolders=true stripped everything,
which meant versioned outputs all collided in the same flat directory —
defeating versioning whenever the toggle was on.
New behavior matrix for no_subfolders=true:
- disable_versioning=true → output_directory = base
- disable_versioning=false → output_directory = base/v###
So truly flat output (no subfolders at all) now requires BOTH toggles,
matching VFX convention. Versioned-but-no-name-subfolders is now
expressible with just no_subfolders=true, which is the common case.
Tooltip updates:
- no_subfolders: rewritten to describe new behavior
- base_directory_path: path-shape description updated to
shot_name/ai_method/[v###]
- ai_method: clarifies subfolder application is gated by no_subfolders
- version, disable_versioning: vNNN → v### (Nuke-style convention
consistent with the existing .%04d.exr default)
2 new tests:
- no_subfolders=True + disable_versioning=False → base/v###
- no_subfolders=True + disable_versioning=True → base (truly flat)
Existing tests use the disable_versioning=True default with
no_subfolders=True so they continue to assert base-only — they still
pass under the new logic since version_str="" gets filtered out of the
join.
Full pytest: 130 passed.

Project-internal procedures. If you're cutting a release, forking a node, hitting the Comfy Registry API, or debugging CI — read these first.
These are docs for humans doing the work. The corresponding agent
workflows for Claude Code live in ../../.claude/skills/

Read this first if you're confused about version numbers:
../reference/versioning.mdexplains the three independent version axes in this codebase (pack version, fork wrapper version, upstream pinned commit) and which skill/doc owns each one. Worth a one-time read before starting any version-bump work.
