Full control did half of what it said and never said which half. It disabled
the mid-run crash guard and left every value refusal in place, so the stated
purpose -- a one-step schedule, a width the model cannot use, let them and
warn -- did not work. Worse, a rejected value was quietly replaced by the
default, so asking for 999 gave 0.4 with a warning about 999.
Now one switch turns off both: the value is passed through, every problem is
said as a warning naming that the consequences are the user's, and a run made
without the guards is identifiable as one afterwards. A key NO module
declares is still never kept, whatever the setting -- nothing reads it, so
keeping it cannot honour the request, only disguise the typo.
core/graph.py was thoroughly tested and called from nowhere: the claim that
a built-in node can be replaced or removed was a property of a library
nothing invoked. It has routes now, and tests that drive them over a real
socket -- the modifiers node removed and the sampler rewired, the VAE loader
swapped for core's, and both refusals coming back as reasons.
Those routes separate two things the old shape conflated. "refused" means
the edit did not happen. "incomplete" means it did and the pipeline still is
not ready -- an unset file picker on a fresh install is the normal case, not
a failed edit, and showing them together would say the wrong thing about both.
And build() could not see a missing REQUIRED input at all, because the
schema lookup flattened required and optional into one dict. A slot with no
model file built clean and failed only once queued.

A module's OWN default could be NaN or infinite. The override path refused
one and the declaration path did not -- and a default is the value most runs
use, because a setting nobody names never reaches the override check at all.
So the fault this project has already been bitten by, `sigma > nan` false at
every step and a modifier silently doing nothing, was reachable through the
one door that was never checked. Bounds too: an infinite min or max makes the
range check meaningless in one direction.
And two slots could share an id. The check for what exists was a set, which
cannot see a duplicate, so building the prompt by id overwrote one slot with
the other: a node silently missing from the queued graph, or one left reading
its own output. Refused now, before anything else is reported, because ids
are how a link names what feeds it and every later check is meaningless while
two slots answer to one name.
Both were found by attacking the whole tree rather than the diff, and both
are in code that already had tests -- the tests exercised the neighbouring
door in each case.

v4 could not remove a built-in node from the pipeline and the reason was
structural: the wiring lived in code as a CORE dict nobody could reach, so
"remove this" had nothing to delete and "use a different one" had nothing to
change. Code is not a thing a user can edit.
The pipeline is now data. Three operations over it, each refusing with a
reason rather than half-doing the job:
build turns slots into the prompt ComfyUI queues, checking every link's type
and refusing a graph that cannot work. replace points a slot at any node
producing what its consumers read -- the built-in ones have no special
standing, which is what makes them replaceable rather than merely present.
remove takes a slot out and rewires what it fed to what fed it, when the
node has exactly one input matching each CONSUMED output; v4 required one
for every output a class could produce, so a spare FLOAT nobody wired made a
node unremovable.
Demonstrated against real schemas: FunPack's VAE loader swapped for core's
VAELoader, the modifiers node removed with the sampler rewired to read the
model directly, and removing the empty latent refused because nothing
upstream could feed what it fed.
Then run for real. The default pipeline, with three loader slots replaced by
one checkpoint slot, built from data, accepted by ComfyUI's own
validate_prompt, and executed by its own engine to execution_success and a
picture. Every wiring and type validated on the first attempt; the only
things ComfyUI objected to in the untouched default were the three unset
file pickers, which is correct -- a fresh install cannot know which model
you own.
Added a checkpoint loader, because the split loaders are right for LTX and
H3 and cannot read an SD-family single file at all.
