malkuthroandClaude Opus 4.7 413b153702 docs(maintainers): refresh stale references + add conventions.md
Audit triggered while debugging the v0.2.0 release surfaced drift in
the maintainer docs vs current code: dead curated_defaults.json
references (file replaced by starter_preset.json in PR #72), the
v1_0_1 fork example (removed in v0.1.5), and a "tooling we don't have
yet" entry that's now covered by tools/preflight_release.py. Adds a
new conventions.md for cross-cutting rules — currently the
Mermaid-for-diagrams convention.

Maintainer docs

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/ and should be kept in sync with these prose docs.

Contents

File What it covers
conventions.md Cross-cutting project conventions that don't fit any single topic doc — currently the Mermaid-for-diagrams rule. Add new cross-cutting rules here as they accrete.
releasing.md Canonical step-by-step release procedure: branch → PR → publish-validate → squash-merge → tag → GitHub Release. Anti-patterns to avoid. The per-release tickbox mirror is .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release_checklist.md.
registry-api.md The Comfy Registry's undocumented version-management endpoints (deprecate, delete, query) reverse-engineered while cleaning up v0.1.0–0.1.5. Includes ready-to-paste curl commands and an optional GitHub Actions workflow YAML for codified version management.
node-versioning.md Hard-won rules for changing INPUT_TYPES / RETURN_TYPES / class names without breaking saved user workflows. The five rules + the suffix-version pattern (MyNode → MyNodeV2) + the alias-then-deprecate migration path.
curated-sidebar.md The Kforge Labs sidebar starter-preset workflow. How to customize the bundled web/starter_preset.json shipped to fresh users (Snapshot → Load → starter). Storage keys, library directory resolution, reset procedure.
workflows-sidebar.md The "Workflows" section of the same sidebar. Save canvas / save selection / directories / archive on collision / load with named tab. Storage shape, action semantics, reset procedure.
dev-iteration-loop.md The fast iteration pattern we used to build the sidebar — the dev-sync loop, agent trigger phrases (go, dev-sync, paste-JSON), what survives across re-syncs vs what doesn't, push/publish gates. Read this when returning to UI work after a break.

Read this first if you're confused about version numbers: ../reference/versioning.md explains 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.

Companion agent skills

Skill (in .claude/skills/) Mirrors this doc
license-pre-check Runs before any third-party fork; refuses to proceed on incompatible licenses. The principles also apply when a human is doing it manually.
add-external-fork The forks/ workflow — clone outside MAIN, register in forks_manifest.yaml, namespace the IDs. Phase 0 calls license-pre-check.
docs-sync Find-and-replace a version tag (or any string token) across docs, code constants, and manifests in one controlled pass. Used during fork wrapper version bumps.
preflight-release Runs the four release-gate checks from tools/preflight_release.py — static AST node-ID extraction, VAE wrapper rank/type dispatch roundtrip, ComfyUI-Manager extension-node-map drift (the issue #44 class of bug), and workflow-fixture stability. Run before opening any release PR — releasing.md step 1.
menu-comfy Lists all project skills with one-liners — quick inventory when you can't remember what's available. Distinct from the global /menu skill so the two don't collide.
