`Config._dedupe_existing_paths()` drops roots whose directory does not exist
when the root list is built, so a drive that is switched off while LM starts was
not "an offline root" — it was not a root at all. The Refresh ▾ menu had no row
for it in either state, a full refresh reported nothing (its cached entries
survived only because they fall outside every configured prefix), and plugging
the drive back in changed nothing until the next restart.
* `Config` now records the configured (existence-unfiltered) paths per model
type — from ComfyUI's list in plugin mode, from the active library snapshot in
standalone mode, where the host mock filters non-existent paths itself — and
exposes them through `configured_roots_for()`.
* `ModelScanner.describe_model_roots()` appends configured-but-unavailable roots
with a live `reachable`, an `available` flag and their cached entry count, so
`/roots` (and therefore the menu) offers a row in both states: greyed while the
directory is missing, normal and clickable once it is back.
* `_reconcile_cache()` reports them as `skipped_roots` / `unavailable_paths` with
reason `root_unavailable` and counts their cached entries in `kept_unreachable`,
which is what makes the "N models kept" toast appear in the startup-offline
case. Report-only: they stay outside the scan scope, so nothing about pruning
changes. A root-scoped scan stays quiet about roots it was not asked about, and
a folder-scoped scan only mentions a missing root that holds cached entries of
that folder.
* `Config.admit_configured_roots()` re-runs the per-type prepare helpers against
the configured paths and APPENDS what is readable now (plus the
checkpoint/unet/other side maps), then refreshes the preview allowlist, so a
drive plugged in mid-session can be scanned without restarting. Append-only and
order-preserving by design: removing a root mid-session would let a later
settings save persist the loss, and re-sorting would move `*_roots[0]`, which
derives the recipes directory and the usage-stats file location. `_roots[0]`
never moves.
* `/roots` and `/scan` admit first, so `describe_model_roots()` stays a pure read
and a caller that never opens the menu (the browser extension) still gets a
drive that came back.
Verified on the sandbox with drive-Z switched off before startup: `/roots`
reports `drive-Z reachable=false available=false models=60`, a full refresh
returns `skipped_roots=[drive-Z root_unavailable]`,
`unavailable_paths=[{... kept: 60}]`, `kept_unreachable=60`, and all 432 models
stay cached. Renaming the drive back while the server runs admits it
(`available=true`) and `GET /scan?roots=<drive-Z>` walks it with no restart.
3714 passed, 7 skipped; frontend 1495 passed (149 files); vue widgets 96 passed.
Starting ComfyUI with an external drive switched off erased that drive's path
from `settings.json`. `Config._dedupe_existing_paths()` drops paths that do not
exist at the moment the root list is built, and `save_folder_paths_to_settings()`
(plugin mode, called from `Config.__init__`) persisted `list(self.loras_roots)`
through `upsert_library(folder_paths=...)`, which REPLACES the library's paths.
One boot with the drive off was therefore enough to lose the configuration, not
just to hide the root — the same applied to checkpoints/unet/embeddings and the
other-model keys.
* `Config` now records the *configured* (existence-unfiltered) primary paths per
model type while building the live lists, and the startup sync persists those.
A path the host (plugin mode) or the library (standalone mode) no longer
configures is still dropped, so removing a path keeps working.
* In standalone mode the host mock (`MockFolderPaths.get_folder_paths`) already
filters non-existent paths out of settings.json, so the active library snapshot
is the only record of what the user configured; `_remember_library_configured_paths()`
reads it there and leaves plugin mode to ComfyUI's own unfiltered list.
* `_resolve_valid_default_root()` receives the configured paths in
`allowed_paths`, so a `default_*_root` on a switched-off drive is no longer
"repaired" onto another root.
* `_append_new_paths()` is the shared append-only union (order preserved, case
insensitive) used by the sync.
Verified: a new config test builds the plugin-mode sync with one switched-off
drive, one readable root and one path the host dropped — the switched-off path
and the default root that points at it survive, the dropped path does not, and
the live `loras_roots` still holds only the readable root. tests/config 64 passed.
The sidebar's "Scan this folder" entry and its vanished-folder warning were the
last 2 [TODO: Translate] keys, so grep -c "TODO: Translate" locales/*.json is 0

scanFolderResult.missing
reused verbatim from each locale's existing
renameFolderResult.missing / deleteFolderResult.missing — the situation
is identical ("the folder vanished before the action ran"), so a third
variant of the same sentence would only be a translation drift risk.
The label follows each locale's "Check for updates in this folder" phrasing
(检查此文件夹的更新 → 扫描此文件夹, Vérifier les mises à jour dans ce dossier → Analyser ce
dossier) so the two refresh entries in the same menu read as a pair.
docs/i18n-translation-guidelines.md gains the two rows in "Scoped scan and root
availability" plus the updated status note.
Verified: python scripts/sync_translation_keys.py --dry-run reports no pending
changes, pytest tests/i18n 20 passed, frontend 1495 passed.
The Refresh menu can scope a scan to one model root, but the folder a user is
looking at lives in the sidebar's unified tree, which merges every root into one
relative-path namespace. "Scan this folder" therefore addresses the folder, not a
root: the backend walks that relative path under every root that holds it, which
is also what makes the action safe while another drive is switched off.
Backend:
* GET /scan accepts `folder=<rel>` (alone or with `roots=`), rejected together
with full_rebuild=true like the roots parameter. Validation reuses
normalize_relative_folder(), extracted to module scope from ModelMoveService so
the folder operations and the scan endpoint reject the same input (absolute
paths, drive letters, `..` climbing) instead of each carrying its own copy.
* The reconcile summary carries `scope_label` (the folder) for a folder scope, so
the result toast names the folder the user clicked instead of the roots it
happens to live under; the completed WS payload carries it too.
* `folder` is a scope prefix exactly like a root: only that subtree is re-read or
pruned, and an unreachable root keeps the entries that fall inside it.
Frontend:
* The sidebar folder context menu gains "Scan this folder" above "Check for
updates in this folder" (they share the refresh divider); the entry is gated by
the same supportsFolderManagement flag as the other folder operations.
* SidebarManager.scanFolder() resolves the node through the existing
_resolveFolderCandidates() before doing anything: a folder no root holds any
more explains itself ("no longer exists on disk") instead of scanning nothing,
and an unresolvable multi-root node is refused rather than guessed.
* PageControls.refreshModels() and BaseModelApi.refreshModels() forward the folder
scope, and _showRefreshSummary() prefers scope_label over the walked roots.
Verified live on the three-root sandbox with one drive switched off:
GET /scan?folder=pack000 walks drive-G and drive-Y, reports scope_label=pack000,
keeps drive-Z's 6 entries under that folder (kept_unreachable=6) and leaves all
420 models cached. 3704 passed, 7 skipped; frontend 1495 passed (150 files); vue
widgets 96 passed. The 2 new sidebar keys are [TODO: Translate] placeholders
pending the feature owner's go-ahead.
The scoped-scan feature left exactly 6 [TODO: Translate] keys behind, so this
is the whole pending set for all 9 locales. Renderings reuse the established
nouns (folder: zh-CN 文件夹 / ja フォルダ / ru папка / he תיקייה; "model" counts
from sidebar.deleteFolderModal) and introduce one new term, "Offline" for a
configured root that cannot be read right now:

refreshCompleteScoped / refreshKeptUnreachable / scanRootUnreachable
(counts and {scope}/{paths} stay verbatim)
Every placeholder set matches en.json, fr keeps the typographic apostrophe, and
the three CJK locales keep full-width punctuation while ko uses ASCII like the
rest of that file. docs/i18n-translation-guidelines.md gains the
"Scoped scan and root availability" terminology table plus the updated status
note, so the "no remaining placeholders" claim holds again.
Verified: python scripts/sync_translation_keys.py --dry-run reports no pending
changes, pytest tests/i18n 20 passed, and grep -c "TODO: Translate"
locales/*.json is 0 everywhere.
Refreshing had no way to say "scan only this drive": a user with three external
drives had to spin all of them up for every refresh, and switching a drive off
made the next refresh treat its whole library as deleted (rows pruned from the
memory cache and the SQLite cache, preview_url stripped on the next scroll).
Backend (py/services/model_scanner.py, py/config.py):
* ReconcileScope(roots, folder) + _reconcile_cache(scope=...): files inside the
scope reconcile normally, everything outside is neither re-read nor removed.
The folder half is plumbing for the sidebar entry in the next change.
* Path-level pruning guard: cached entries under a path this walk could not
read are kept and reported instead of removed. Sources: a configured root that
is not reachable (drive switched off while LM runs), a directory os.walk
failed to enter (permissions / I/O error / Windows junction to an offline
drive), and a known first-level symlink whose target is gone
(Config.iter_path_mappings()).
* The recorded folder list is unioned instead of replaced whenever the scan did
not verify every root, so a scoped scan cannot empty the sidebar.
* _reconcile_cache returns a summary (added / removed / repaired /
scanned_roots / skipped_roots / unavailable_paths / kept_unreachable),
exposed as ModelScanner.last_reconcile_summary, returned by
BaseModelService.scan_models() and broadcast in the completed WS payload.
* _root_display_labels(): set-aware labels ("G: loras", "usb/loras") grown
leftwards with real parent segments until unique, shared by the walk-progress
line and the roots API.
* GET /scan accepts repeated `roots` (400 for unknown roots, 400 combined with
full_rebuild=true); GET /roots gains root_details (label / reachable / cached
count) while `roots` stays a plain path list for existing callers.
* serve_preview: a 404 no longer clears the cached preview_url when the file's
own directory is unreachable - browsing the grid with a drive off used to
strip preview references from the persistent cache.
Frontend:
* Refresh ▾ gains a "Scan one folder" section listing the page's roots with
their cached counts; offline roots stay clickable and explain themselves; rows
are wired by delegation (new static/js/components/controls/ScanScopeMenu.js).
* A scoped scan reports "Scanned <root>: N new, M removed"; a scan that kept
entries reports "<N> models kept: <paths> not reachable".
* registerAPI() now injects the two cross-page passthroughs (fetchModelRoots and
an argument-forwarding refreshModels) so a page facade cannot drop them: the
first version rendered an empty menu and would have run a full refresh.
* createToastElement whitelists toast types, so a wrong `type` argument degrades
to the info style instead of rendering an unstyled box.
Verified in a sandbox instance with three roots: a scoped scan walks only the
requested root (progress roots=0/1, 240 files); a full refresh with one root
offline reports kept_unreachable=60 and leaves all 420 models cached; /roots
reports the offline root with its cached count. 3699 passed, 7 skipped;
frontend 1488 passed (148 files); vue widgets 96 passed.
The sidebar's folder tree merges every model root into one relative-path
namespace, but folder operations turned a node into a path by prefixing
default_*_root. A folder living under another root failed to delete with
"Folder no longer exists" (recipes under the primary lora root while
default_lora_root is the extra one), and where the same relative folder
exists in both roots the operation silently hit the other copy — 14 of the
16 top-level folders in the reporting library are shared, so guessing a root
was never safe.
Backend:
* ModelMoveService.resolve_folder() and GET /api/lm/{prefix}/resolve-folder
answer which directories a library-relative folder maps to
(folder_path/root/is_symlink), in scanner root order, skipping directories
no root holds and refusing absolute or climbing paths.
* delete_folder/rename_folder tag a vanished directory with code "missing"
so the sidebar can tell "this node is stale, refresh" from a failed
operation.
Frontend:
* _resolveFolderCandidates() is the single place that turns a node into
absolute paths: default root first, the old root-prefix fallback only
while a single root is configured, and an explicit unresolved error for a
multi-root library — nothing is guessed silently any more.
* One copy keeps the single-target modal, which now names the resolved
absolute path. Several copies render one checkbox row per copy, each
dry-run against the delete guard ("no models" / "contains N model
file(s)..." / a deletion is still pending / no longer exists / symbolic
link): a blocked copy is unticked, disabled and explained, the button
reads "Delete N folders", every ticked copy is deleted and guarded on its
own, and a partial failure is reported without discarding the successes.
* Rows are built once per open and only their status text is updated, so
ticking a box no longer rebuilds the list, steals focus or resizes the
modal mid-click; the action row keeps a fixed button width.
* Rename offers a root picker in its inline row, create inherits the
parent's root when the parent resolves to exactly one directory, and the
undo restores every copy a delete removed.
i18n: 26 new keys (sidebar.deleteFolderModal.*, .deleteFolderResult.*,
.renameFolderResult.*, .folderRoot.*, .folderResult.*) translated in all 9
locales, with the en wording normalized to the established "model root" noun
(it had said "library root") and the new terminology recorded in
docs/i18n-translation-guidelines.md.
Verified: pytest 3686 passed, vitest 1473 passed (86 in the folder-management
suite), pytest tests/i18n 20 passed, sync_translation_keys.py --dry-run
clean. A sandboxed standalone instance with two roots confirmed that deleting
one copy leaves the node in place, that the twin's model card survives the
purge, and that deleting both copies and undoing restores both directories.
The recorded folder list is a union over the model roots keyed by relative
path, but remove_known_folder() dropped an entry unconditionally. Deleting
<rootA>/test in the sidebar therefore hid a "test" that <rootB> still held:
the node disappeared from the next tree load and came back after the next
scan, which reads as "the delete did not work". The same call purged cache
entries by relative folder, so removing an empty <rootA>/test2 also evicted
the model cards of <rootB>/test2 until the next scan, and
rename_known_folder() re-keyed both the recorded folder and the "folder"
field of models that never moved.
* _folders_present_on_disk() answers "which of these relative folders does
some root still hold?" with stats off the event loop (model roots can live
on slow network shares) and reports nothing for stand-in scanners without
roots, which preserves their previous behaviour.
* remove_known_folder(folder, absolute_path=None) keeps the entries another
root still owns and purges by the removed directory's absolute path when
the caller knows it. Without a path the relative-folder filter stays as the
documented fallback: it prunes the entry (disk-verified either way) but
cannot tell same-named copies apart.
* rename_known_folder() re-adds the survivors of the old name and only
touches cache entries whose file_path sits inside the renamed directory.
Tests: the two delete tests now remove the directory from disk first, which
is what the contract always assumed, plus three new scanner tests (a twin
keeps the entry, the entry goes once no root holds it, the twin's cards
survive the purge), one for the legacy fallback and one for a rename that
leaves a twin behind.
The walk-progress feature left exactly one [TODO: Translate] key behind,
common.scanProgress.walkFiles ("{count} files"), so this is the whole
pending set for all 9 locales. Each rendering reuses the locale's
stages.count_models noun for "files":
zh-CN {count} 个文件 zh-TW {count} 個檔案
ja {count} 件のファイル ko 파일 {count}개
fr {count} fichiers de {count} Dateien
es {count} archivos ru {count} файл(ов)
he {count} קבצים
{count} arrives pre-formatted (toLocaleString), so no locale adds digit
grouping, and the string stays a bare fragment: the root labels, the
parentheses and the " | " before the ETA are composed by
static/js/api/baseModelApi.js. ru uses файл(ов) because the counter ticks
live (notEmptyMessageCount precedent).
Also document the new surface in docs/i18n-translation-guidelines.md:
a status note plus the "Scan progress (walk phase)" terminology section
recording the per-locale renderings and the fragment/composition rule.
Verified: python scripts/sync_translation_keys.py --dry-run reports no
pending changes, pytest tests/i18n 20 passed, and
grep -c "TODO: Translate" locales/*.json is 0 everywhere.
A regular Refresh walked every configured root sequentially, so a full
25 TB drive delayed the roots behind it, and the dialog sat on "Checking
for changes..." at 0 % for the whole walk with no way to tell it was
working. On a cold external drive the walk itself dominates the cost, so
the fix is to overlap the drives and to show what the walk is doing.
Backend (py/services/model_scanner.py):
* Extract the per-root walk into the synchronous _walk_root_for_reconcile()
worker and merge its results on the event loop afterwards, in configured
root order: which business path wins a file reachable through several
roots must not depend on the order the workers happened to finish in.
* Group roots by device (_root_device_key: drive letter on Windows, st_dev
on POSIX) and run one worker per device. Roots sharing a device stay
sequential, so directory claims and the overlap dedup (#871, #1041) keep
their configured-order semantics; different devices run in parallel.
* Track walk progress per root (_ReconcileWalkTracker), weighted by each
root's cached entry count because the real file count is only known once
the walk ends. The bar splits into walk (0-50 %) and new-file (50-99 %)
phases so it never jumps backwards, and the walk broadcasts files seen,
active roots and the ETA counters.
* Replace the Windows case-insensitive fallback -- a scan of every cached
path per miss, i.e. O(files x cached) -- with a lazily built lower-cased
index (_CachedPathLookups, also now guarding the realpath alias index for
worker threads), and lift the os.name == "nt" gate into the module-level
_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PATHS so the branch is testable off Windows.
* Excluded-model membership is a set lookup instead of a list scan.
Frontend:
* render the walk phase as "Checking for changes... <roots> (N files)" with
the ETA, and reset the ETA tracker when the stage changes: the per-file
rate of counting files says nothing about processing them.
* add common.scanProgress.walkFiles; the other locales keep the sanctioned
[TODO: Translate] placeholder until the translation pass.
Verified: no-change reconcile over 10k files/500 dirs 101 ms and 10k/5000
dirs 230 ms (was 93/229 ms, within noise); a two-device sandbox walk runs
both roots concurrently, names them in the progress messages and finishes
with added=15, removed=0; 3665 passed, 7 skipped; frontend 1456 passed,
vue widgets 96 passed.
The Prompt and Lora Stack Combiner nodes expose unbounded dynamic input
slots (trigger_wordsN / lora_stackN). They resolved them by having
INPUT_TYPES() return a custom lookup object, but only when the caller was
ComfyUI's get_input_info() -- detected with inspect.stack(). That frame
inspection is what the registry security scan reports as
python_anti_debugging under the obfuscated-code admin tag.
Make the lookup a dict subclass instead, so INPUT_TYPES() can always
return it:
* /object_info (server.py) json.dumps INPUT_TYPES() directly, and a
dict subclass serializes its stored entries -- byte-identical to the
plain dict that was returned before.
* input_order (list(value.keys())), validate_inputs'
set(class_inputs["optional"]) and every other iteration still see only
the static slots.
* get_input_info() (graph.py) keeps resolving dynamic names through the
overridden __contains__/__getitem__, which no longer depends on who
the caller is.
The one behaviour change is in execution.py:get_input_data -- a dynamic
input passed as a constant rather than a link now reaches the node
instead of being silently dropped. These inputs are declared forceInput,
so the frontend only offers links; where it can happen the new behaviour
is the intended one.
Verified against ComfyUI's own consumer code: json.dumps output, keys(),
set(optional) and get_input_info() lookups all match the old behaviour,
and the two nodes no longer cross-resolve each other's slots.
3657 passed, 7 skipped.
The `except ImportError` branch in __init__.py exists because pytest's
Package collector walks up from tests/ while __init__.py exists, which
makes the repo root a package node and imports this file as a top-level
module (__package__ == ""). Relative imports cannot resolve there.
ComfyUI itself always loads the directory as a package, so the branch is
test-only -- verified by replaying nodes.py:load_custom_node().
`importlib.import_module("py.nodes.prompt").PromptLM` is equivalent to
`from py.nodes.prompt import PromptLM`: nothing here is lazy and nothing
avoids a cycle, so the indirection bought nothing. Removing it also drops
the python_bytecode_manipulation finding (any-code-execute +
obfuscated-code) the registry security scan reports against __init__.py.
Verified: probe during the suite shows the fallback still runs with
__package__ == "" and builds all 21 NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS entries;
3653 passed, 7 skipped.
The registry security scan flags a node version on ANY finding, even
severity "info", so every file in node.zip is scan surface. Dev-only
trees (tests/, docs/, scripts/, .agents/, Vue widget sources) accounted
for ~44 of the 115 findings that flagged 1.2.2-1.2.4.
comfy-cli builds the archive as `git ls-files` minus `.comfyignore`
matches, so this drops 501 of 1033 tracked files while keeping every
runtime path: py/, web/, static/, templates/, locales/,
example_workflows/, data/supporters.json, refs/, standalone.py.
Dropping vue-widgets/ is deliberate: the prebuilt bundle ships in
web/comfyui/vue-widgets/, and py/vue_widget_builder.py skips its mtime
check when src/ is absent, so end-user installs no longer risk an
npm install at startup.
The first draft read as a design document for the CivitAI team: it explained how
to change toPublicPaidAccessDto, cited discountedTerms, and described how we read
prices from model pages today. Two of those do not belong in an issue.
- no implementation guidance: they know their service, and withholding prices may
be a deliberate product decision (the code comment says pricing belongs to the
purchase flow), so the request has to argue the need rather than the diff
- no description of our current page reading: it is our approach, it shifts the
thread from the feature to our behaviour, and it invites an objection that has
nothing to do with the ask
The filed text is now 138 words: ask, why (the API gives the gate and the early
access end date but not the price, which is the other half of "wait or pay now"),
one credibility clause naming the integration, and one scope concession (public or
authenticated-only). The evidence table and the write/read asymmetry stay in the
plan as internal notes, explicitly marked as not for the issue.
No existing civitai/civitai issue asks for this (searched paidAccess, "download
price", "buzz price API" and every open [API Feature Request]), so the draft is a
new issue using that repo's title convention.
The argument leans on how small the change is there: toPublicPaidAccessDto
already receives a PaidAccessRow carrying `terms` and `sales` and returns only
{permanent, endsAt}; discountedTerms already resolves sale prices; and the write
path already accepts the same terms via updateModelVersionPaidAccessSchema. The
reads withhold exactly what the writes accept.
It also documents why the page is not a workaround: civitai.red challenges
non-browser clients (403 for any User-Agent), while civitai.com and civitai.green
404 mature models to anonymous visitors, so mature models have no readable price
source at all.
Also marks the P4 upstream task as drafted.
Bring back the pre-v1.2.2 classic vertical list for example images as a
persisted showcase_layout setting (gallery stays the default), switchable
from both a Settings select and an in-modal segmented toggle.
- Revive the vertical list renderer (adapted from 4a6042d0) as
VerticalListView.js, reusing the shared MediaUtils/MetadataPanel
infrastructure; legacy CSS scoped under .showcase-vertical
- Dispatch showcase rendering on state.settings.showcase_layout;
collapsed bar, empty/filtered states and import flow stay shared
- Keep the back-to-top button available in vertical mode (the
showcase-expanded class that hides it now only applies to the gallery,
whose thumbnail strip occupies that corner)
- Persist the setting via DEFAULT_SETTINGS + DEFAULT_SETTINGS_BASE and a
new select under Settings > Layout Settings
- i18n: 6 new keys translated in all 9 locales; terminology recorded in

Closes#1136
無料になりました (8 characters) is a sentence, not a badge label: it sits next
to 有料 (2) and 早期アクセス (6) in the version row. 無料化 is three characters
and names the state transition this badge actually marks - it only appears when
a version's gate lapsed, never for a version that was free all along. The
tooltip keeps the full sentence.
Completes the 13 keys the obtainability feature left as [TODO: Translate], in all
9 locales: the two gate-event counts, the sale / Blue Buzz / "Free Now" / early
access end-date badge strings, and the six settings.priceTracking strings plus the
section header.
- Buzz and Blue Buzz stay as-is everywhere: they are CivitAI currency names, not
translatable words (R3)
- register follows each file's existing norm (你 zh-CN, 您 zh-TW, Sie de, tú es,
вы ru); fr keeps the file's ASCII apostrophe style; no full-width punctuation
leaked into the Latin/Cyrillic/Hebrew locales
- two source fixes came with the pass: the unused settings.priceTracking.label key
is removed (no template renders it - the toggle uses enabled/enabledHelp), and
settings.sections.priceTracking now reads "Buzz Download Prices" so the header
matches what the feature does: prices are displayed, nothing is tracked for
alerts
- the locale files were edited by exact-value replacement rather than re-serialised,
so each diff is 13 lines and the per-file indentation is untouched (R1)
Live model 958009 has 37 gated versions across 6 price points, and the owner's
own library has a model whose two early access versions end on different dates,
so an 'Update - 500 Buzz' badge would be fabricated rather than summarised. The
uniformity that made it look plausible is an artefact of floor pricing. Prices
stay in the version list; only a deadline is well defined at model level.
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.
The default threshold is 0 ("only tell me when a version becomes free") and the
settings copy says so, but the panel did not: a real instance with 52 priced paid
versions and an untouched threshold showed "Nothing is under your price threshold
right now" with only a small "Alert threshold: 0 Buzz" in the corner, which reads
as a broken feature.
- the payload now carries pricedCount, so the empty state can say how many paid
versions already have a known price
- when the threshold is 0 and prices are known, the empty state says so and
points at Settings - Library instead of implying there is nothing to show
- the read-time threshold comparison means setting one takes effect immediately;
measured on a copy of that instance: 0 Buzz -> 0 alerts, 100 -> 44,
500 -> 48, 5000 -> 51
Found in a real instance: after enabling price tracking, a normal "Check updates"
captured exactly one price out of 718 models, so the alerts panel looked broken
while the log said the refresh completed.
Price capture only ran when the version list was re-fetched, so it inherited the
metadata TTL: with 24 h metadata and 24 h price TTLs, only the handful of models
whose metadata happened to be stale that round were ever priced.
- the cached record already carries the gate, so the price pass now runs off
whichever version list is available (freshly fetched or stored) and applies the
result without touching last_checked_at, so a price-only pass cannot silently
extend the metadata TTL
- a failed attempt now satisfies the price TTL, so a mature model whose page no
host will serve is not retried on every single update check
- an explicitly forced check re-prices within the TTL
Verified by copying a real instance's update DB into a sandbox and running a
non-forced check: bulk metadata fetches 0 (version lists entirely from cache)
while priced versions went 1 -> 20 and the panel listed 19 alerts.
End-to-end verification against the live site found the price capture broken for
a whole class of users: the civitai page hosts are not interchangeable, and the
user's civitai_host preference was silently fatal. With civitai_host=civitai.red
the update DB held zero prices even with tracking enabled.
- civitai.red refuses non-browser HTTP clients outright (Cloudflare challenge,
403 for any User-Agent, aiohttp and httpx alike), while civitai.com and
civitai.green answer normally for anonymously visible models and 404 for
mature ones. An earlier manual check with curl passed on TLS fingerprint luck,
which is why this was missed.
- get_model_prices now tries the configured host first, then the others, and
takes the first parseable payload. The host that worked is remembered, and a
host that refuses outright is parked for 15 minutes so a library full of
mature models does not pay three requests each; a 404 is model-specific and
does not park the host. Links keep using the configured host, which is where
the user's own browser has clearance.
- Mature models still have no price source anywhere, so that is now stated
instead of silent: price_check_attempted_at separates "tried and unreadable"
from "never looked", gated versions show a muted "Price unavailable" badge,
and the alerts panel reports unavailableCount.
- Failures are logged at warning level, once per host per TTL, with the
per-host reason, instead of only at debug level.
- The recorded alternatives (internal tRPC with the user's API key, or an
extension-assisted fetch from the user's browser) and the strengthened
upstream ask for a public price field are documented in the plan.
P5a of docs/plans/paid-model-price-tracking.md: one surface that answers "what
got cheaper / became free", without a permanent button (the grid filter was
dropped by owner decision, so the panel carries the actions itself).
- price_alert_since records when an alert started, so the panel can say
"dropped 3 d ago" and count what is new since the user last looked; it is set
on the first sight of an already-cheap version, preserved while the alert
stands, and cleared when the price rises back above the threshold
- get_price_alerts() compares the threshold at read time (editing it takes
effect immediately, no refresh needed) and returns both kinds in one list;
model_type=None covers every type, which the shared update DB makes a single
query. "became free" needs no price data, so it is reported even while price
tracking is off
- GET /api/lm/price-alerts, registered once in MiscRoutes rather than per model
type, decorating rows best-effort with the local model name and file path from
the scanner indexes (a cold cache just omits them)
- a third tab in the notification bell: segments for under-threshold and
became-free, the three states (tracking off / nothing matching / stale), and
per-row actions (CivitAI always, Open when the model is local)
- two non-permanent entry points share one helper: the controls-bar updates
dropdown and the global context menu, whose label carries the unread count
- unread state stays client-side (localStorage watermark); the count is fetched
once on init and only when price tracking is enabled
- the per-type frontend client method is removed as dead code; the per-type
backend route stays for the companion extension
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
Plan, verification notes and the deviations from it are in
docs/plans/paid-model-price-tracking.md.
CivitAI only returns a non-null paidAccess for an *active* gate: a lapsed gate
stays in the database as a tombstone and is filtered out server-side, so
{"permanent": false, "endsAt": null} — a timed gate whose window end has not
been recorded yet — is still enforced. Verified live: on model 1802980 that
version reports canDownload: false while its lapsed siblings report true.
Both the update service and the download gate dropped that shape, so such
versions read as free and "Hide Early Access Updates" missed them — the class
of bug reported in #1060.
The interpretation now lives in py/utils/paid_access.py and is shared, so the
badge, the update filter and the download warning cannot disagree.
Add OpenModelDB (openmodeldb.info) as a metadata and download source for
the existing upscaler model type.
Metadata:
- New OpenModelDBClient: fetches the site's bulk JSON dumps, caches them
on disk (24h TTL + ETag revalidation), and builds a local sha256 index
- New OpenModelDBModelMetadataProvider adapts catalogue entries to the
CivitAI-shaped version dict contract; registered in the fallback chain
behind the enable_openmodeldb_api setting (default on), gated to the
upscaler sub-type so other model types never trigger the dump download
- Persisted provenance uses metadata_source "openmodeldb" plus a nested
openmodeldb block (page URL, architecture, scale, license)
Images: paired-image LR/SR URLs are ephemeral imgdiff.net sessions, so
displayable images come from the site-hosted auto-generated thumbnails
(model-level cover leads images[], per-image thumbs for the rest); the
original comparison URL is kept in meta.comparisonUrl.
Downloads:
- New OpenModelDBSource (flat model ids, omdb: group prefix) with
resource filename derivation that recovers names hidden mid-path
(mediafire) or synthesizes {id}.{type} for folder links
- HTML-gateway mirrors (mediafire/mega/drive) are rejected with a clear
manual-download hint instead of silently saving an HTML page as .pth
- ModelSource base gains is_valid_source_id / default_subdir_parts /
resolve_download_url hooks so flat-id sources need no platform branches
UI: "View on OpenModelDB" link in the model modal (downloaded and
hash-enriched models), settings toggle next to the CivArchive one.
Applying a filename template to a large library re-did O(library) work for
every renamed file: a full natsort resort plus whole-table SQLite rewrite and
download-history resync after each rename, and a full scan plus resort of the
entire recipe collection per renamed LoRA. On a 20k-model library with 300k
recipes on a HDD this pushed "Apply to Library" into multi-day runs.
- ModelScanner.defer_cache_persist(): bulk loops update the in-memory entry
and indexes only; resort + persist + download-history sync run once at
context exit, forced even on cancellation/error since files are already
renamed on disk. Single-rename callers keep immediate per-call behavior.
- RecipeScanner.build_lora_hash_index(): one-shot hash -> recipes index so
per-file lookups are O(1); update_lora_filename_by_hash gains hash_index /
defer_maintenance params, with a single finalize_bulk_filename_updates()
resort at the end of a bulk session.
- ModelLifecycleService.bulk_rename_session() / BulkRenameContext wire the
deferred path through rename_model (hash index built lazily on first
recipe-touching rename).
- Blocking os.rename sequence offloaded via asyncio.to_thread so one file's
HDD I/O no longer stalls the event loop (no cross-file parallelism).
- Skip logic, per-batch WebSocket progress, cancellation, and result
counters unchanged.
- Model modal hash footnote now shows Civitai model id and version id
(right-aligned, quick-copy buttons); hidden for non-Civitai models
- Hash/id exact search (sha256/autov2/autov3/civitai ids) is now always
on: the search-options "hash" toggle is removed and the search_hash
query param is silently ignored for API compatibility
- Footnote render condition relaxed so autov3-only and id-only models
still show the line
- i18n: 4 new keys translated in all 9 locales; filters.hash key removed
On a CivitAI/CivArchive 429, download-model and download-model-get now
return HTTP 429 with {"reason": "rate_limited", "retry_after": N}
instead of a generic 500 string, and the queue row goes back to
"queued" rather than history as failed — so queue drivers can
auto-pause and retry later instead of burning through the queue.
- new DownloadRateLimitError carrying retry_after/host (opt-in via
raise_on_rate_limit on Downloader; other call sites keep the legacy
string behavior)
- fail-fast pre-flight gate in DownloadManager consults
RateLimitCoordinator before acquiring the semaphore slot: hosts in
cooldown get an immediate structured 429, no HTTP request attempted
- best-effort 429 detection for the aria2 backend
Fills the 4 settings.unknownBaseModelRouting.* placeholders plus the
leftover doctor.issues.sidecar_mirror_orphans.title placeholder per the
feature owner's request, following docs/i18n-translation-guidelines.md:
option labels reuse each locale's checkpoints.modelTypes renderings,
base model follows the §5 matrix, and punctuation/register match each
file's conventions. Adds the feature's Status note and a §2 term-map
subsection for 'routing'.
The setting decides which library an unknown-model download lands in, so
it belongs next to the default-root selects rather than General >
Downloads. Element id, settings key and i18n keys are unchanged, and
loadSettingsToUI() populates it by getElementById on every modal open,
so no JS changes are needed.
Also drop "(recommended)" from the diffusion-models option label; the
default is already conveyed by pre-selection.
Cross-checked both baseModel lists against CivitAI's official
baseModelRecords (packages/civitai-shared src/basemodel.constants.ts):
- CHECKPOINT_BASE_MODELS gains SD 2.0/2.1 768, SD 2.1 Unclip, SDXL 0.9 /
1.0 LCM / Turbo / Distilled, Playground v2 and Stable Cascade
(unCLIP-style but CheckpointLoader-loaded).
- DIFFUSION_MODEL_BASE_MODELS gains SVD XT, LTXV 2.5, Flux 3 Video,
Wan Image 2.7, Wan Video 2.7 / 3.0, HiDream-O1, Boogu and the Ming
Image Design families. API-only (Kling/Sora/Veo/Imagen...), 3D and
audio baseModels are intentionally skipped.
- Pony V7 exclusion now backed by live-API evidence (model 1901521 is
AuraFlow-architecture shipping .gguf variants).
CivitAI has no model-level diffusion ModelType: DiT models are uploaded
as "Checkpoint" or "UNet", with only uploader-chosen file types to tell
them apart. model.type "unet" previously fell through type derivation
and failed with 'not supported for download'; it now goes through the
checkpoint branch in both the download manager and the download routing
endpoint, so the standard chain (file type -> baseModel lists -> unknown
default) applies.
CivitAI labels new DiT architectures (MiniMax H3, future Flux/Wan/Qwen
variants) as model.type "Checkpoint" with plain "Model" file entries,
so the DIFFUSION_MODEL_BASE_MODELS allowlist could never keep up and
such downloads were mis-routed to the checkpoint roots (e.g. model
2877206 / version 3374439). The set of true full-checkpoint families is
closed, so the baseModel fallback is inverted:
1. file type UNet/Diffusion Model -> unet (unchanged)
2. baseModel in DIFFUSION_MODEL_BASE_MODELS (now incl. MiniMax H3) -> unet
3. baseModel in new CHECKPOINT_BASE_MODELS (SD 1.x/2.x/3.x, SDXL, Pony,
Illustrious, NoobAI) -> checkpoint
4. unknown/empty baseModel -> new unknown_base_model_routing setting,
defaulting to diffusion models
The setting is exposed under Settings > Downloads, validated in
SettingsManager, and threaded into both the download manager and the
download routing endpoint so they keep agreeing.
Two gaps kept 'import example images' from working on the Other page:
- import_images/delete_custom_image/set_example_image_nsfw_level only
searched the lora/checkpoint/embedding scanners, so Other-category
models were never found ('Model with hash ... not found in cache').
All three now go through a shared scanner list that includes the
Other scanner.
- Other models (and fresh checkpoints) carry hash_status=pending with
an empty sha256, so the frontend sent an empty model_hash and the
import was rejected with 'Missing model_hash parameter'. The modal
now also sends the model's file path, and the import use case
resolves the hash on demand via the scanner's lazy-hash calculation.
The resolved hash is returned to the UI and persisted on the
showcase element so follow-up operations target the same
hash-keyed folder.
Concurrent or repeated move requests for the same model raced each other:
the first move succeeded, the rest failed with FileNotFoundError, leaving
the model card pointing at stale/empty paths.
- Serialize moves per source file with an asyncio.Lock keyed on the
normalized source path
- When the source file is already gone, reconcile instead of failing:
locate the model via the hash index or the expected target paths, repair
the metadata sidecar and cache entry, and reuse the stale cache entry
when no sidecar exists at the new location
- Avoid duplicate cache entries when the cache already tracks the moved
file; only drop the stale source entry
- Move via business paths (abspath) instead of realpath, matching every
other file mutation and the containment check; realpath stays reserved
for scanner dedup per project convention
The frontend's right-side Properties Panel falls back to WidgetLegacy for
unregistered widget types, and WidgetLegacy.draw() writes widget.width
(≈panel width) onto the real widget object. The canvas DOM overlay honors
widget.width ?? node.width, so clicking a node with the panel open squashes
the widget content to the left until undo/recreate (ComfyUI_frontend #11574).
Setting hideInPanel: true on all addDOMWidget options keeps LM widgets out
of the panel entirely. Older frontends without the option ignore it safely.
Refs #979
model_name, sampler_name and scheduler were declared as COMBO outputs, so the
documented wiring failed at queue time with "Return type mismatch between linked
nodes". ComfyUI only accepts a COMBO output into a node that declares its
dropdown as COMBO/IO.Combo, while Load Checkpoint, KSampler and the LoRA Manager
loaders expose their options as a plain list; comfy_execution.validation rejects
any non-string input type there, and a STRING output is rejected the same way.
Declare the three sockets untyped ("*"), the type ComfyUI's own Primitive node
uses to feed widget inputs. Verified with execution.validate_inputs that they now
link into both classic list dropdowns and IO.Combo inputs.
Also corrects the wiring guide, which claimed COMBO was the supported type.
