malkuthroandClaude Opus 4.7 a6a31c8086 feat(sidebar): Tools row + starter preset replaces curated_defaults (#72)
* fix(sidebar): merge preset HEAD route into GET handler

PR #68 shipped koolook_routes.py with @routes.get + @routes.head on the
same path. aiohttp's add_get auto-registers HEAD by default, so the
explicit @routes.head collided with the auto-synthesized HEAD and
crashed ComfyUI startup with "Added route will never be executed,
method HEAD is already registered".

Trying allow_head=False on the GET to opt out triggered a second crash:
ComfyUI's server.py mirrors every PromptServer route into a parallel
/api/... table via api_routes.route(method, path)(handler, **kwargs),
and RouteTableDef.route's inner closure rejects unknown kwargs with
TypeError. So no kwarg-based opt-out is viable.

Drop the dedicated HEAD handler. Aiohttp's auto-HEAD-from-GET delivers
HEAD probes to get_preset; we branch on request.method to skip the
file read for HEAD — preserving the cheap-existence optimization the
client's presetExists relies on for multi-MB JSON over Dropbox / iCloud
/ NFS-mounted libraries. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] updated to match.

This bug never reached users — koolook_routes.py was added in #68
(post-v0.2.0) and was never published to Comfy Registry.

* feat(sidebar): Tools row + starter preset replaces curated_defaults

Two coordinated UX changes for fresh-install distribution + admin
ergonomics — designed together and shipped as one unit.

1. New "Tools" row sits between the Snapshot row and the search field.
   Moves the Export and "Install missing for picks" buttons up out of
   the Nodes row (admin/advanced operations don't belong in the
   everyday + Add toolbar). Adds a new "Drop placeholders onto canvas"
   button — the security_level=normal escape hatch for installing
   missing packs: instantiates one placeholder per missing pack on a
   fresh canvas tab so ComfyUI/Manager's standard "Install Missing
   Custom Nodes" detection takes over via Manager's UI flow (which
   uses different gates than our programmatic /customnode/install/
   git_url call). Nodes row keeps only the everyday + button.

2. curated_defaults.json retired in favor of starter_preset.json.
   Fresh installs no longer get picks seeded directly into localStorage
   on first load. Instead the bundled web/starter_preset.json (full
   snapshot format — picks + workflows + tags + archive) is copied
   into the user's snapshot library directory as starter.json. The
   user opens Snapshot -> Load -> starter to apply in one click.
   Unifies fresh-install distribution with the per-user snapshot
   library (#68); maintainer flow becomes "build state in ComfyUI ->
   click the (down-arrow) Tools-row button -> paste over
   web/starter_preset.json -> commit." Existing users with non-empty
   picks are explicitly skipped by the new seeder, so their state is
   untouched.

Removed: seedDefaultsIfNeeded, exportPicks, web/curated_defaults.json,
SEEDED_KEY, DEFAULTS_URL.

Added: seedStarterPresetIfNeeded, exportStarterPreset (snapshot.js),
STARTER_SEEDED_KEY, STARTER_URL, STARTER_PRESET_FILENAME,
discoverMissingPacks (installer.js), dropPlaceholdersForPacks
(canvas_io.js), web/starter_preset.json.

Docs: CLAUDE.md "Curated Nodes sidebar — distributed defaults" ->
"Kforge Labs sidebar — starter preset distribution".
docs/maintainers/curated-sidebar.md rewritten.
CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased] updated.

ComfyUI-Koolook documentation

Three audience buckets — pick where to look based on what you're trying to do.

If you want to … Go to One-line description
Use a node in your ComfyUI workflow user_guide/ Per-node guides, screenshots, recipes
Look something up — a term, a node ID, a list reference/ Glossary, node inventory, spec sheets
Cut a release / fork a node / debug CI / hit the Comfy Registry API maintainers/ Releasing, Registry API, Node versioning rules
