 ln -s /path/to/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension
-cd /path/to/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension

 ```
 
+Then install this extension into the same Python environment that launches ComfyUI.
+The `pyproject.toml` file declares the package dependencies, but those dependencies still need to be installed into ComfyUI's runtime Python.
+
+If you run ComfyUI from a source checkout with `uv`:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/ComfyUI
+uv pip install -e ./custom_nodes/ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension
+uv run python main.py

+If you use the Windows portable build:

+cd C:\path\to\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension
+..\..\..\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -e .
+```
+
+Running `uv sync` inside `ComfyUI-to-Python-Extension` creates this extension's own `.venv`.
+ComfyUI does not automatically import dependencies from that `.venv`; it imports custom nodes with the Python interpreter used to launch ComfyUI.

 After installation, restart ComfyUI.
 
 ### CLI exporter / generated scripts

 ```
 
 `COMFYUI_PATH` helps the exporter and generated scripts find the ComfyUI codebase. It does not, by itself, register this repo as a ComfyUI extension for the Web UI.
+It also does not install ComfyUI runtime dependencies such as `torch` into the current Python environment.
 
 `COMFYUI_PATH` is checked first. If it is not set, the exporter falls back to searching parent directories for a folder named `ComfyUI`.
 
+If the CLI fails with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'`, run the command with the same Python environment that launches ComfyUI, or install ComfyUI's runtime dependencies into the environment you are using for the CLI.

+For Windows portable builds, run the CLI with ComfyUI's embedded Python from the extension directory:

 The command downloads a generated `.py` file.
+The current UI export uses the default filename `workflow_api.py` so it works in ComfyUI Desktop without relying on `prompt()`.
 
 ![Save As Script](images/save_as_script.png)
 
 Notes:
 - menu placement can differ between frontend versions
-- ComfyUI Desktop may fail on the current filename prompt flow; use the CLI flow below if that happens
+- the Web UI export uses a fixed default filename rather than asking for one interactively
 
 ## CLI Export
 
@@ -118,14 +145,30 @@ The generated script is a workflow export. It does not automatically turn workfl
 
 Scripts exported directly from `File -> Save As Script` in the ComfyUI UI already include the frontend workflow metadata needed for drag-and-drop reimport. Images saved by those scripts can be dropped back into ComfyUI and reopen with the original workflow metadata.
 
+Generated scripts reuse ComfyUI's runtime argument parser during bootstrap, so common ComfyUI memory flags such as `--highvram`, `--normalvram`, `--lowvram`, `--novram`, `--cpu`, and `--disable-smart-memory` can be passed directly to the exported `.py` file.
+
+Lifecycle notes:
+- exported scripts are single-shot workflow runners, not long-lived ComfyUI prompt servers
+- they do not implement Web UI prompt/result caching across repeated service calls
+- exported `main()` now performs best-effort ComfyUI model/cache cleanup in a `finally` block
+- set `COMFYUI_TOPYTHON_UNLOAD_MODELS=1` or call `main(unload_models=True)` if an embedded or repeated-call host should aggressively unload models after each run instead of preserving them for reuse
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
+- unsupported Python version:
+  use Python 3.12 or newer in the environment that runs the extension, then reinstall the extension dependencies there
+- Web UI import fails after `uv sync`:
+  `uv sync` in this repo installs dependencies into this repo's `.venv`, but ComfyUI loads custom nodes with its own Python environment. Install the extension into the Python interpreter that launches ComfyUI.
+- Windows portable import fails after `uv sync`:
+  ComfyUI portable uses its bundled `python_embeded` interpreter. From the extension directory, run `..\..\..\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -e .`, then restart ComfyUI.
+- CLI fails with `No module named 'torch'`:
+  the extension `.venv` may not have ComfyUI's runtime dependencies. Either run the CLI from the Python environment that launches ComfyUI, or make sure the target ComfyUI environment is installed and `COMFYUI_PATH` points to it.
 - `Save As Script` not visible:
   check your current ComfyUI menu/frontend version and look under `File`
 - `Save As Script` not visible after restart:
   make sure this repo is discoverable by ComfyUI through `custom_nodes` by cloning it into `ComfyUI/custom_nodes`, symlinking it there, or adding an external `custom_nodes` path in `extra_model_paths.yaml`
-- Desktop says `prompt()` is unsupported:
-  use the CLI export flow instead
+- save uses the default filename:
+  rename `workflow_api.py` after download if you want a different local filename
