The owner could not tell from the UI what "Buzz Price Tracking" enabled, what the
"Price alert threshold" number meant, or what "Price Alerts" was alerting about.
That was not a copy problem: the implementation exposed our mechanism (a page
scrape) and our SQL predicates as the user's concepts. Two concrete defects came
from the same root:
- the alert population included versions the user already owns (neither the event
generator nor the query filtered on is_in_library; in the owner's library 28 of
52 gated versions were already downloaded, so most "alerts" were about files
already on disk, which cannot become cheaper *for them*);
- a threshold-filtered state list lived in a notification surface, so an empty
panel had three indistinguishable causes and read as a broken feature.
The information model is now the version plus ownership: cost is shown only where
a decision exists. Owned -> nothing. Not owned and free -> nothing. Not owned and
gated -> the price when it is known, `Paid` without a number when it is not, and
early access keeps its countdown because "free on <date>" decides between waiting
and paying. The numeric threshold has no place in that model: every decision is
categorical (wait / pay / skip), so the setting, the comparison and the whole
alert-state machine are gone.
- both alert-state columns are removed from the schema rather than left dead; a
database created by an unreleased build has them dropped on open (native
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN, guarded), which is a no-op for everyone else
- gate events are emitted only for versions the user does not have, and the
price-drop event goes with the threshold it belonged to
- both alert endpoints, PriceAlertsHandler and the service-registry adapter field
it needed are removed: events already reach the UI through the refresh response
- the bell tab, panel, CSS, both entry points, the unread watermark and their
locales are removed; the setting keeps only the enable flag and the refresh
interval and is framed as plumbing
- "Price unavailable" is replaced by `Paid`: the gate is certain from the public
API, only the number is best-effort, and that is our plumbing, not the user's
problem
Verified against a copy of the owner's real database: 52 gated versions ->
28 owned (now silent) + 24 the feature is actually about; the drop migration ran
and both removed endpoints 404.
CivitAI's public API deliberately omits prices — paidAccess is trimmed to
{permanent, endsAt} because "pricing belongs to the purchase flow" — but the
public model page embeds the site's own model.getById result, including
paidAccess.terms, in its server-rendered payload. That is read anonymously
(no API key, no internal endpoint, no forged Origin), one request per gated
model, so only the ~2% of models that actually carry a gate pay for it.
- optional capture, off by default: price_tracking_enabled,
price_alert_threshold_buzz (0 = alert on "became free" only) and
price_check_ttl_hours; prices refresh on their own TTL and immediately when a
gate changes, and a failed fetch keeps the stored price instead of blanking it
- versions that stop carrying a gate are marked free (persisted gate_lapsed_at)
and gate transitions are reported as events on the refresh response, so a
version already in the library can announce that it became free
- price_alert_state plus a price_drop edge event; new
GET /api/lm/{type}/updates/price-alerts lists what is under the threshold
- versions tab shows the price (effective, with the list price struck through
and a Blue Buzz note) and a Free Now badge; an update check toasts the
transitions in one message
- the parser and the alerts query are unit-tested against a trimmed page
fixture, and every route definition is now asserted to resolve to a handler

Add per-model-type filename templates ({model_name}, {version_name},
{base_model}, {author}, {first_tag}, {hash_short}, {original_name}) so
downloaded files get informative names instead of e.g. V1.safetensors.
Empty template keeps the current filename (opt-in, off by default).
- apply template automatically after downloads; rename conflicts keep
the original name and never fail the download
- record original_file_name in metadata on rename for traceability
- bulk apply via GET|POST /api/lm/{prefix}/apply-filename-template with
WebSocket progress, sharing the auto-organize lock
- settings UI lives in the new Organization tab with validation, live
preview, and per-type 'apply to library' actions
Follows the folder create/delete work: a typo'd directory could be
removed but not corrected, and for a folder holding models the only fix
was to move every model out by hand.
Adds POST /api/lm/{prefix}/rename-folder. Unlike the delete path this one
deliberately works on folders that hold models — a rename keeps every
file, so nothing is cascaded over: the directory is renamed on disk and
the scanner re-keys the records that pointed at the old prefix (recorded
folder list, cache file_path/folder/preview_url, hash and autov3 index
paths, excluded-model paths, and the metadata sidecars that travelled
with the directory). Ancestors are never touched, and only the leaf name
is accepted so a rename can never escape its parent.
Library roots, top-level symlinks and folders holding a staged delete are
refused; the last because a staging manifest records absolute
original/staged paths, so moving it would break undo and purge. A name
collision is a 409 target_exists conflict.
The sidebar reuses the inline-row idiom from folder creation: prefilled
with the current name, inserted in place of the node with that node
hidden while editing, Enter confirms and Escape/blur cancels. The
persisted selection and the expanded set are re-keyed across the rename
so the user keeps their place in the refreshed tree.
Folders created from the sidebar had no in-app way back out: the only
removal path was to leave ComfyUI, delete the directory by hand and
rescan. A typo'd folder also polluted the move/download destination
picker permanently, since it reads the same all_folders source.
Adds POST /api/lm/{prefix}/delete-folder, restricted to directories
whose subtree holds no model weight files — a folder-level cascade would
bypass the per-model lifecycle bookkeeping (metadata sidecars, previews,
cache entries, pending-delete staging, recipe references). The service
walks the directory itself instead of trusting the possibly stale cache,
reports what it would remove (models / files / subfolders / symlinks),
and refuses library roots, top-level symlinks (shutil.rmtree rejects
those) and folders holding a staged delete, whose manifest would be
invalidated by the move. Symbolic links inside the subtree are counted
but never followed.
ModelScanner.remove_known_folder mirrors add_known_folder: the removed
subtree leaves all_folders while ancestors are kept (every recorded
ancestor exists on disk in its own right), stale cache entries under the
prefix are purged and the folder list recomputed. The handler broadcasts
models_changed so destination pickers drop the folder too.
The sidebar entry is a destructive context-menu item. The modal opens in
a confirm state for model-free folders and an explanatory one when the
subtree still holds models, decided from the models-only set that already
dims empty nodes; a stale tree is caught by the 409 not_empty/busy
conflict. Truly empty folders get the existing 20s undo affordance,
implemented by re-creating the directory.
Empty folders (tracked in the scan-recorded all_folders list, same source
the move/download destination picker uses) can now be surfaced in the
folder sidebar via a view-options toggle, dimmed when their subtree holds
no models. Folders can be created directly from the sidebar through a new
POST /api/lm/{prefix}/create-folder endpoint with library-root
containment checks; the scanner records the new directory incrementally
so the tree reflects it without a rescan.
The sidebar header moves its view toggles (tree/list, recursive, empty
folders) into a "..." menu to fit the new create-folder button.
The LoRA Manager page kept its active filters in localStorage, which the
ComfyUI-side autocomplete read directly. When the two run in different
browsers, origins, or the ComfyUI Desktop Electron shell, localStorage is
not shared and the active-filters search silently did nothing.
The manager page now mirrors its filter state to a server-side in-memory
store (PUT /api/lm/{prefix}/active-filters), pushed on every change via a
storage-listener hook and once on page load. The autocomplete widget sends
only use_active_filters=true, and the relative-paths endpoint injects the
stored filters into the search, with explicit query params taking
precedence.
- New GET /api/lm/downloads/queue/status handler for non-terminal status
transitions (queued -> downloading, downloading -> paused, etc.)
- Queue lifecycle auto-integration in DownloadManager._download_with_semaphore:
downloading -> SQLite update_status('downloading') on semaphore acquire
completed -> complete_download('completed') on success
canceled -> complete_download('canceled') on CancelledError
failed -> complete_download('failed') on Exception
- All queue operations wrapped in try/except to never break the download flow
- Add new endpoint POST /api/lm/{prefix}/set-preview-from-url to handle
remote image downloads server-side, avoiding CORS issues
- Use rewrite_preview_url() to download optimized smaller images (450px width)
- Use Downloader service for reliable downloads with retry logic and proxy support
- Update frontend to call new endpoint instead of fetching images in browser
fixes#837
- Add model_types parameter to ModelListingHandler to support filtering by model type
- Implement get_model_types endpoint in ModelQueryHandler to retrieve available model types
- Register new /api/lm/{prefix}/model-types route for model type queries
- Extend BaseModelService to handle model type filtering in queries
- Support both model_type and civitai_model_type query parameters for backward compatibility
This enables users to filter models by specific types, improving model discovery and organization capabilities.
- Add set_version_update_ignore endpoint to toggle ignore status for specific versions
- Add get_model_versions endpoint to retrieve version details with optional refresh
- Update serialization to include version-specific data and preview overrides
- Modify database schema to support version-level ignore tracking
- Improve error handling for rate limiting and missing models
These changes enable granular control over version updates and provide better visibility into model version status.
