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.

[Log] Info: FunPack Diffusion Model Loader | flux.safetensors loaded, attention sage
[Log] Alert: MiniMaxH3ImageToVideo node | no "first_image" input is connected
[Log] Warning: FunPack LoRA Loader | style.safetensors is empty and will not load
[Log] Critical: torch | cannot allocate 14 GB (3 GB free); the run will not start
The difference between the middle two is the one that matters. Alert is a
choice you may not have made on purpose. Warning is something that will NOT
do what its name says -- the level v4 needed and did not have, which is how
560 handlers came to swallow a failure and carry on, so a feature could be
switched on, do nothing, and never say so.
Info is not decoration either: "loaded on GPU using sage attention" is how
an attention setting that did nothing gets noticed months before the
pictures look wrong enough to investigate.
Every call site moved -- there is no note() left to be vague through -- and
the loaders now say what they actually loaded rather than only what they
were asked for. Records are kept in a bounded ring as well as printed, so a
long rental session cannot turn the log into a memory leak, and served at
/funpack/api/log so a person can read it somewhere other than a terminal
full of ComfyUI's own output. There is a page for it.
Also dropped the preflight this was traded for: min and max are already
declared and already enforced at both doors, and a second protection layer
around a check that exists is ceremony.
Two mistakes worth keeping: a log line reached into the model's shape to
describe it and could have failed the load it was only narrating; and both
new pages passed `children` to an element that takes `rows`, which the kit
accepted and silently dropped. It throws on an unknown element and not on an
unknown prop.

set_model_compute_dtype sets force_cast_weights on purpose: it is what
casts each layer's weights to match. Clearing it afterwards left the model
casting its INPUT to the chosen dtype while the weights stayed as loaded,
so the first Linear of the first sampling step raised "mat1 and mat2 must
have the same dtype".
Picking any compute dtype other than default therefore broke sampling on a
full-VRAM load. It survives on constrained hardware only because the
low-VRAM path forces the cast back on by itself, which is why nobody hit it.
Straight port from v4, where the same line has shipped since 3837f8f. The
branch had no test at all; it now has one that fails against the old line.

A backend that carries a zero-copy container path lost it: wrap_attn offers
that path only when the OVERRIDE has the attribute, so dropping it selects
the backend, computes the right answer, and never uses the thing the backend
exists for. ComfyUI forwards it in set_model_optimized_attention; now so do we.
An unknown encoder family fell back to stable_diffusion and reported success.
A family mismatch in this project reads as an unrelated fault, so it refuses
and lists what this ComfyUI actually knows.
fp16 accumulation is one flag for the whole interpreter, so a per-node
checkbox cannot mean "this model": a second loader changes the first model's
maths, and loader caching outlives the run. It cannot be scoped, so it is at
least no longer silent -- every transition says what it really covers. The
honest fix is to move it to a machine-level setting.

Ported from v4, minus two mechanisms that are no longer needed. The LoRA
loader takes one LoRA and chains, so the FlexibleOptionalInputType dict
subclass that lied to ComfyUI's validator has nothing left to do. The CLIP
loader uses numbered slots like core's DualCLIPLoader instead of a JSON
array in a string widget.
Autogrow looked like the right answer for the encoder list and is not: it
sets force_input on any widget input, so a list of combos renders as sockets
and the file picker stops being a picker. Every core use of it is a
connection type.
GGUF and SLA are deliberately not here. Both are capabilities rather than
loader options, and both belong in modules of their own.
The tests follow what the loaders PRODUCE rather than stopping at the call:
the attention override is carried into comfy's real dispatch and checked
against every backend this machine registers, because an override that only
fails at the first attention call fails at sampling, not at load.

ComfyUI's V3 entrypoint replaces NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS, which must not exist
at all: nodes.py checks it first and reaches comfy_entrypoint only in an
elif, so an empty dict registers nothing and reports no error.
A module declares NODES for graph structure and SETTINGS for preferences,
and the two never mix -- a saved workflow stores class_type and input
names, so letting a new setting add a socket would rot existing graphs.
Traits now come from two places: facts core can read off any model, and
providers announced by a model's own module. Core names no model, so
supporting a new one is a folder rather than an edit here.
