* refactor(nodes): remove superseded LTX Director extra nodes + harden registry (#198) Remove the two experimental nodes layered on the WhatDreamsCost fork — KoolookAudioTranscriptTimeline (k_audio_timeline.py) and KoolookTimelineEditor (k_timeline_editor.py) — plus the transcribe_audio_timeline.py CLI and its test. The audio-transcript to Director-timing job now lives inside the fork via the Director's audio_transcript_json input, so the standalone nodes are redundant. Also drops the orphaned [audio]/faster-whisper extra and updates packaging, dev-sync, web, and docs references. Harden the node registry against the #183 failure: __init__.py now imports each node group independently and installs the /koolook/presets/* routes regardless of node-import results, so one missing or broken module degrades to 'that node absent' instead of zeroing every node and 404'ing the sidebar disk routes. A new test keeps every root k_*.py listed in dev-sync's RUNTIME_PATHS. Closes #198. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(nodes): ship loader gates via dev-sync-audio; generalize RUNTIME_PATHS guard (#198) Address the K-Flame review on #199: MEDIUM — the #198 refactor made koolook_versioning.py a single registration gate, but dev-sync-audio shipped the new __init__.py without it (and the k_*.py-glob guard test couldn't see it). Add koolook_versioning.py AND koolook_install_guard.py (whose absolute-import fallback raises uncaught) to AUDIO_PATHS so a scoped sync can never leave the loader pointing at a module the target lacks. Generalize the guard test: parse __init__.py's actual load-time import targets (relative imports + _merge_node_group calls) and assert each is in RUNTIME_PATHS, instead of globbing k_*.py which missed the non-k_ gates. Add an AUDIO_PATHS gate-coverage test. LOW — CHANGELOG now records the [audio]/faster-whisper + transcribe_audio_timeline.py removal as an external-contract break.

ComfyUI-Koolook
Kforge Labs for ComfyUI: a project-kit sidebar plus Koolook nodes for VFX, image, and video workflows.
Start here: KForge Labs ComfyUI-Koolook overview
That overview explains the sidebar, snapshots, saved workflows, modules, recovery tools, and included nodes for new users.
The main experience is the Kforge Labs sidebar. It helps you keep a project setup together: favorite nodes, saved workflows, reusable modules, tags, snapshots, and recovery tools.
Kforge Labs Sidebar
Use the sidebar as a reusable project kit.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Snapshots | Save and load the whole Kforge Labs state: favorite nodes, workflows, modules, tags, archive, and recovery data. |
| Search | Find nodes, workflows, directories, and tags from one field. Tags keep exact capitalization, so Depth and depth can be separate folders. |
| Nodes | Keep favorite nodes close, grouped by theme or repository name. |
| Workflows | Save the whole script, save a selection of nodes, load workflows, or insert saved modules into the current canvas. |
| Recovery | Use autosaves, starter presets, snapshot library settings, and missing-pack install helpers. |
New here? Start with the KForge overview. Using it inside ComfyUI? Open the operational guide:
- Browse on the web: malkuthro.github.io/ComfyUI-Koolook/web/guide/
- Inside ComfyUI: Kforge Labs sidebar → Tools row → Help (
Hicon). The in-app button opens the bundled offline copy atweb/guide/index.html.

The root Koolook nodes and the slim Radiance Koolook VAE wrappers have no
extra Python dependencies beyond torch, which ComfyUI already requires.
Install
ComfyUI-Manager
- Open ComfyUI Manager.
- Choose Install Custom Nodes.
- Install by Git URL:
https://github.com/malkuthro/ComfyUI-Koolook.git - Restart ComfyUI.
- Open the Kforge Labs sidebar tab.
Manual
Clone this repository into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/:
git clone https://github.com/malkuthro/ComfyUI-Koolook.git
Restart ComfyUI after installation.
One install at a time. If you already installed Kforge Labs via ComfyUI Manager, it lives at
custom_nodes/koolook/(the Manager / Registry-derived folder name). A secondcustom_nodes/ComfyUI-Koolook/created bygit cloneis a parallel install — ComfyUI loads BOTH on every boot, both register the same routes and sidebar tab, and the workflow store silently corrupts on every restart. From v0.3.8 the plugin detects this and prints a critical log naming both paths, disabling the non-winning copy — but the cleanest fix is to remove one folder. Pick the install method you want and stick with it.

Troubleshooting
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The Kforge Labs tab does not appear | ComfyUI needs a restart, or the extension did not load | Restart ComfyUI and check the terminal for [Koolook] messages. |
| The Help guide does not open | The browser blocked the popup | Allow popups for the ComfyUI page, or open web/guide/index.html directly. |
| Missing custom nodes after loading a workflow | One or more node packs used by that workflow are not installed | In Kforge Labs, use Tools → Install missing packs, or use ComfyUI Manager's Install Missing Custom Nodes flow. |
| Snapshot save/load fails | The snapshot library path may be missing, read-only, or unavailable | Use Snapshot → Save to... or Load from... and choose a writable folder. |
| A loaded snapshot looks older than expected | Named saves and auto-saves are intentionally separate | In Snapshot → Load, select the snapshot and check Recovery auto-saves for a newer periodic/pre-load recovery. |
Support
For reproducible bugs, open a
GitHub issue.
For the fastest answer, include your ComfyUI version, Koolook version,
operating system, install method, terminal log, browser console errors, and
steps to reproduce. See SUPPORT.md for the exact checklist.
Stability
For production work, install a pinned release tag or commit instead of following a moving branch head. Node IDs are treated carefully so saved ComfyUI workflows continue to load across compatible updates.
