* docs: fix stale fork READMEs + retire outdated copilot-instructions forks/README.md and forks/radiance_koolook/README.md both still pointed at v1_0_1 as the active version — v1_0_1 was removed in v0.1.5; the only active fork is v2_3_3. Layout examples and the Upgrade Flow Example pivot forward (v2_3_3 → hypothetical v2_4_0), with a note about SKIP_VERSION_SUFFIX for stable user-facing IDs across upgrades. .github/copilot-instructions.md was severely out of date — referenced a nonexistent k_easy_version.py, knew nothing about the Kforge Labs sidebar (now the main feature), and had no mention of koolook_routes.py, dev-sync, or the three-axis versioning model. Replaced with a thin pointer to CLAUDE.md plus the high-stability orientation Copilot needs to place a request before following links — file map, "things that bite", redirect. Nice-to-have follow-ups filed as #113 (markdown mirror of the visual sidebar guide) and #114 (small cross-ref / glossary polish). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(forks): fix v2.3.3 namespace-suffix bullet in THIRD_PARTY.md The bullet claimed all exposed v2.3.3 node IDs are namespaced with `__koolook_v2_3_3`, but both currently-registered IDs (`Easy_hdr_VAE_encode`, `Easy_hdr_VAE_decode`) are Koolook-original names that opt out via `SKIP_VERSION_SUFFIX` in versions/v2_3_3/__init__.py. The new wording names the actual exposed IDs, points at the opt-out set, and explains the reserved use of the `__koolook_v2_3_3` suffix for future ports of upstream-named classes. Caught in PR #115 review — the linked target (THIRD_PARTY.md) was contradicting the new forks/README.md and CLAUDE.md text on the same mechanism.

Forks Workflow
This folder is the single source for all fork tracking metadata inside MAIN.
Purpose
- Keep modified forked code in MAIN under versioned paths (for GitHub tracking).
- Keep raw external checkouts outside MAIN under
../ComfyUI-Forks(for upstream reference/sync). - Keep all fork metadata in one place:
forks/forks_manifest.yamlforks/THIRD_PARTY.md
Folder Layout in MAIN
forks/radiance_koolook/__init__.py-> package entrypoint used by root__init__.pyforks/radiance_koolook/versions/v2_3_3/-> local modified node sources (currently the only active version)forks/radiance_koolook/versions/<version>/UPSTREAM_PIN.yaml-> exact upstream parity pin
The earlier v1_0_1 fork was removed in v0.1.5 — see THIRD_PARTY.md
for the rationale and recovery instructions.
External Folder Naming (outside MAIN)
Root: ../ComfyUI-Forks
- Pinned baseline checkout:
radiance-v2.3.3-koolook
- Rolling upstream checkout:
radiance-main-upstream
These names are referenced from forks/forks_manifest.yaml.
Referencing System
For each fork entry in forks/forks_manifest.yaml:
source_repo= canonical upstream URLsource_ref= release/tag (or baseline descriptor)pinned_commit= exact reproducible commit hashexternal_checkout.relative_path_from_forks_root= pinned raw reference folderexternal_checkout.upstream_tracking_path_from_forks_root= rolling upstream folderlocal_paths= files tracked in MAIN
Tagging Policy (from now on)
- MAIN repo tags use SemVer:
vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. - Local fork version folders use underscore variant of the same version:
v2_3_3,v2_4_0, etc.
- Node mapping namespace suffixes must match folder versions:
__koolook_v2_3_3,__koolook_v2_4_0, etc.
- Some node IDs opt out of the suffix via
SKIP_VERSION_SUFFIX(seeforks/radiance_koolook/versions/v2_3_3/__init__.py) to keep stable user-facing IDs across upgrades. - Keep
source_ref+pinned_commitinforks/forks_manifest.yamlandUPSTREAM_PIN.yaml.
Upgrade Flow Example (Radiance)
Hypothetical bump from the current v2_3_3 to a future v2_4_0:
- Compare current local version (
forks/radiance_koolook/versions/v2_3_3) with pinned raw baseline (../ComfyUI-Forks/radiance-v2.3.3-koolook). - Pull latest upstream in
../ComfyUI-Forks/radiance-main-upstream. - Create a new local version folder in MAIN, e.g.
forks/radiance_koolook/versions/v2_4_0. - Port/validate modifications.
- Namespace node IDs for that version (or keep them stable via
SKIP_VERSION_SUFFIXwhen upstream IDs are unchanged). - Add new entry/update metadata in
forks/forks_manifest.yaml.
For the underlying mental model — three independent version axes (pack
version / fork wrapper version / upstream pinned commit) — see
docs/reference/versioning.md.
Rule of Thumb
- If it is modified production code -> keep in MAIN under
forks/.../versions/... - If it is raw upstream reference -> keep outside MAIN under
../ComfyUI-Forks
