speedyrulzandClaude Fable 5.1 049565081d fix: keep a participating master free while a worker runs a load-balanced job
When a run went to a worker, the master's collect-only delegate prompt was
queued at once. ComfyUI's single executor then sat on that prompt waiting
for the worker, so every full workflow queued behind it waited too: with
one worker and a participating master, the master GPU only started once
the worker's first job finished.

On a participating master the delegate prompt is now held back and queued
only once the worker posts its final result (job_complete is_last), so the
master executor keeps pulling full workflows meanwhile. If the worker is
seen idle or unreachable for several probes without delivering, the
delegate is queued anyway so the Collector's timeout path reports it. Both
the immediate dispatch to an idle worker and dispatcher claims use this;
an orchestrator-only master, which has nothing else to run, still queues
the delegate immediately so the run stays visible in its queue.

"""Hand load-balanced runs to the next participant that frees up.
A Collector workflow queued with ``load_balance`` enabled while every
participant is busy stays in the master's own ComfyUI prompt queue, so it is
still visible and cancellable there, and nothing is sent to a worker yet. One
dispatcher task then watches the candidate workers; as soon as one reports an
empty queue, the oldest waiting run is taken out of the master queue,
dispatched to that worker, and re-queued on the master as a delegate prompt
that only collects the result. When the master participates, its executor
takes whichever waiting run it reaches first in the normal way: the run's
prompt is the full workflow, and the Collector claims it for the master.
A delegate prompt blocks ComfyUI's single executor while it waits for its
worker, which would stall every full workflow queued behind it on a
participating master. So on a participating master the delegate prompt is
queued only once the worker's final result has arrived (or the worker is
seen idle or unreachable without delivering, so the Collector can report
it); an orchestrator-only master has nothing else to run and queues it at
once.
The claim is atomic through ComfyUI's queue mutex: a run can be removed from
the queue by the dispatcher or popped by the master executor, never both.
