After b464fdc3 (preserve .git on release switch), the hasGit-based
channel detection is unreliable — .git now exists for both release
and nightly installs, so page refresh always reset the channel.
- Add _resolveChannelFromSettings() with migration heuristic:
!hasGit → release (ZIP), detached HEAD → release (on tag),
on branch → nightly. Uses gitInfo.branch from check-updates.
- Persist resolved channel to settings.json on first load
(one-time migration) and on explicit switchChannel.
- Add update_channel validation (release|nightly) in backend
update_settings handler.
- Remove hasGit-based guessing from initialize(); defer to
checkForUpdates where full gitInfo is available.
- Channel resolution runs before checkForUpdates early-returns
to avoid null channelMode on reload-within-interval.
Tests: 361 passed.
Previously, switching to the release channel would delete .git/ and
fall back to a ZIP download. This broke update.bat, manual git
commands, and CM git-based update detection.
Now the release path uses git checkout <latest-tag> when .git exists,
and only falls back to ZIP when .git is absent (CM CNR installs).
.git is never deleted - the ZIP→nightly path remains a one-way
upgrade via _init_git_repo.
Also updates locale strings (en, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja) to remove the
now-inaccurate "remove the Git repository" wording.
switch_channel has three destructive code paths (git reset + clean,
git init + checkout --force, and rmtree + ZIP replace) that were
missing the _stage_preserved_items / _restore_preserved_items safety
net already applied to perform_update.
Wrap the channel-specific logic in a try/finally so preserved user
data (settings.json, civitai/, cache/, etc.) is physically moved
outside plugin_root before any git operation and always restored.
Move settings.json, civitai/, wildcards/, backups/, stats/, logs/,
cache/, and model_cache/ to a temp directory before git reset/clean
or ZIP replacement, then restore them in a try/finally block.
This prevents data loss on Windows where git clean -e exclusion
patterns can fail due to path-separator mismatches or where file
locks (open SQLite/log handles) cause the restore step to be skipped
on failure.
Also unifies three hardcoded skip lists (_clean_plugin_folder,
skip_items, skip_tracked) to derive from the single _PRESERVE_DIRS
constant, fixing drift where logs/ was missing from the ZIP path.
The compare API URL format compare/{local_hash}...main returns
status='ahead' when main is ahead of the local commit. The count is
in the ahead_by field, not behind_by. The old code only read behind_by
which is always 0 in this case, causing the UI to show 'Up to date'
when actually several commits behind.
Also handle status='diverged' (both sides have unique commits) by
reading ahead_by for the remote-ahead count.
Frontend adds a hash comparison fallback: if behind_by is 0 but local
and remote commit hashes differ, show 'Behind main' instead of the
incorrect 'Up to date'.
Tests: _AheadCompareDownloader and _DivergedCompareDownloader mocks
for the two status paths.
- Add POST /api/lm/switch-channel endpoint with git init / ZIP fallback
- Add _backup_git/_restore_git helpers with safe rollback
- Version-info endpoint now returns has_git flag for auto-detection
- Check-updates always returns releases (changelog) regardless of channel
- Nightly mode shows 'N commits behind main' with commit hash and date
- View on GitHub link points to /commits/main in nightly mode
- Channel toggle UI with pill-style buttons in update modal
- Confirmation dialog with Esc / backdrop-dismiss support
- Channel derived from has_git on every page load, no localStorage
- i18n: 11 new keys translated across 9 non-English locales
- CSS: unified card-style sections in _base.css
- Tests: 8 new tests covering switch-channel, nightly response, init_git_repo
hydrate_model_data replaces model_data with .metadata.json content which
may lack sha256 (corrupted file, concurrent write, etc.). Restore the
cached sha256 after hydration and persist the fix back to disk so
subsequent lookups don't hit the same error.
Also improve error log to include file_path for debugging.
- Add enable_civarchive_api toggle (default on) to allow disabling
CivArchive to avoid its rate-limit windows entirely
- Add metadata_provider_order dropdown with two presets:
CivitAI → CivArchive → Archive DB (default) and
CivitAI → Archive DB → CivArchive
- Wire both settings through backend (metadata_service, settings_manager,
misc_handlers) and frontend (SettingsManager, state, settings modal)
- Reorder Metadata section in settings modal: toggles → status/management
→ fallback order, for natural top-down workflow
- Make update_metadata_providers() log the effective provider chain
using actually-registered providers rather than settings assumptions
- Add 5 test cases covering all provider-combination paths
- Complete i18n translations for 6 new keys across all 9 non-English locales
Add GET variants of the two POST endpoints used by the send-to-workflow
feature. Parameters are read from query string instead of JSON body,
supporting both simple repeated node_id params and JSON-encoded node_ids
for complex graph references.
Add a pure frontend node that shows filename and editable notes for
a selected LoRA. Connect any output from a LoRA Loader/Stacker/Randomizer/
WanVideoSelect to the lora_source input — selecting a LoRA in the source
widget updates the info display automatically.
- Python node (LoraInfoLM): display-only, no workflow execution
- Vue widget: filename label, auto-sizing notes textarea, save button
with ComfyUI toast feedback on save
- Frontend extension: wire-based selection propagation with stale-response
race guard; clears display on wire disconnect
- Backend: get-notes endpoint now returns file_path alongside notes;
matching supports full-path lora syntax; fix NoneType crash in
trigger words endpoint; document cache file_name invariant
- Wired into all four lora widget nodes (Loader, Stacker, Randomizer,
WanVideoSelect)
- workflow_registry.js: add force param to refreshRegistry(), bypass fingerprint
dedup when responding to lora_registry_refresh WS message. Without this, the
backend's wait_for_all() times out after 0.5s because the frontend skips the
register-nodes POST when the workflow fingerprint hasn't changed (common after
ComfyUI restart with an empty or unchanged workflow).
- misc_handlers.py: demote 'No nodes registered after refresh' from WARNING to
DEBUG — empty workflows are a normal operational state, not a warning-worthy
condition.
- Handle compound node IDs (e.g. "252:0") from expanded group subgraphs
to fix 400 Bad Request on workflows with group nodes
- Frontend proactively pushes node data via afterConfigureGraph and
LiteGraph hooks (onNodeAdded/onNodeRemoved/graphChanged), eliminating
WebSocket round-trip latency for most "Send to Workflow" operations
- Add content-fingerprint dedup to skip duplicate register-nodes POSTs
- Fast-path cache returns immediately when tabs are registered (including
0-node registrations), avoiding unnecessary WS refresh cycles
- Distinguish "Empty Registry" from other errors in standalone UI toast
- Reduce WS refresh timeout 2s→0.5s, add cooldown and lock to prevent
concurrent refresh storms
- All [LM:Registry] logs at DEBUG level
- Add onerror handler on <img> previews to fallback to no-preview.png
- Fire async cache cleanup when preview file returns 404
- Add ModelCache.clear_preview_by_path() for safe stale-url removal
- Downgrade /api/lm/previews 404 log from warning to debug
- Merge Relink to Civitai and new Link to HuggingFace into a single
'Link Model' submenu with sub-options for each source
- Add POST /api/lm/set-hf-url endpoint to associate a model with a
HuggingFace repo URL, saving hf_url to .metadata.json
- Add link_hf_modal.html for URL input, following relink-civitai pattern
- Use update_single_model_cache instead of add_model_to_cache to
prevent duplicate cache entries after linking
- Remove os.path.realpath usage for consistency with relink-civitai
- Raise errors instead of silently falling back to LoRA scanner when
model root cannot be determined
- Scope .input-group CSS rules to modal IDs to fix style conflicts
with download-modal.css
- Add i18n keys across all 10 locales with translations for
zh-CN, zh-TW, ja, ko, de, es, fr, he, ru
- Rename py/agent_cli/ -> py/metadata_ops/ (module was never agent-related)
- Rename tests/agent_cli/ -> tests/metadata_ops/
- Remove 9 low-value/debug INFO log points across agent_handlers.py,
agent_service.py, llm_service.py, and metadata_ops/__init__.py
- Keep LLM raw response at DEBUG level for diagnostics
- Consolidate per-model progress + LLM result into single concise
log line with basename instead of full path
- Update package/class/method docstrings to clarify this is a
pipeline infrastructure, not a true agent loop
- Replace hardcoded provider list with PROVIDER_PRESETS (OpenAI, Ollama,
DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter, OpenCode Go, Custom)
- Load model lists from models.dev/api.json catalog at startup
- Add Combobox vanilla JS component for model/base-URL selection
- Fetch local Ollama models via live API instead of catalog
- Hide API key values from frontend (boolean-only llm_api_key_set)
- Add i18n translations for all 9+ locales
- Update snapshot tests for new response fields
Introduce an agent skill framework for LLM-driven metadata enrichment:
- AgentCLI (py/agent_cli/): in-process wrappers around internal services
using standard relative imports, eliminating the need for sys.path hacks
- LLMService: centralized BYOK (bring-your-own-key) LLM client supporting
OpenAI, Ollama, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- PostProcessor: deterministic engine that applies LLM output via AgentCLI
(replaces old handler.py + _BASE_MODEL_ALIASES approach)
- SkillRegistry: filesystem-based skill discovery (skill.yaml + prompt.md)
- AgentService: orchestrates skill execution with WebSocket progress
- Frontend AgentManager: WebSocket listeners, skill execution, config UI
- Context menu entries (single + bulk) for "Enrich Metadata (Agent)"
- Settings UI for AI Provider configuration (BYOK)
- Full i18n support across 9 locales
Bug fixes found during review:
- aiohttp.web.json_response: status_code= -> status=
- settings_modal cancelEditApiKey: wrong argument position
- AgentManager.isLlmConfigured: allow Ollama without API key
- PostProcessor._merge_tags: lowercase all tags to match TagUpdateService
Security hardening:
- Validate repo format with strict regex (reject .. traversal)
- Validate filename rejects path separators and ..
- Validate relative_path rejects absolute paths and ..
- Verify model_root is within configured scanner roots using
realpath + os.sep guard to prevent prefix-match bypass
- Add realpath-based escape detection for final dest_path
Bug fixes:
- Fix WebSocket leak in _downloadHfSingle: wrap ws.close() in
try/finally so it closes even if downloadHfModel() throws
- Same fix for batch HF download per-file WebSocket loop
Frontend hardening:
- Tighten HF repo regex: require huggingface.co for full URLs,
reject bare .. patterns
- Add 12 unit tests for detectUrlType() covering HF resolve,
HF repo, CivitAI, CivArchive, direct HTTP, edge cases
Cache corruption (NULL model_name/file_name from legacy DB rows or partial
writes) caused format_response to raise KeyError/AttributeError, failing the
entire /loras/list request and showing no models in the UI.
Fix across three layers:
- format_response (lora/checkpoint/embedding): replace direct dict[] access
with .get() fallbacks; return None for entries missing file_path
- handlers: filter None entries from list/excluded/fetch/duplicate/conflict
endpoints instead of letting them crash or appear as null in responses
- model_scanner: always use validate_batch repaired copies (previously
discarded when no invalid entries, leaving None values in raw_data)
- persistent_model_cache: add or-empty-string guards on read and write for
nullable TEXT columns (model_name, file_name, folder, base_model, etc.)
git clean -fd in _perform_git_update deleted untracked, non-ignored
directories (wildcards, stats, backups, civitai, caches, logs) during
portable-mode updates, since released tags do not list them in .gitignore.
Add -e excludes for all user-managed paths to both nightly and stable
update branches. Add regression tests for both paths.
Move NodeRegistry from a single global _nodes dict to a per-client
(_tab_nodes) structure so that multiple ComfyUI browser tabs no
longer overwrite each other's workflow node data during a
lora_registry_refresh cycle. The merged result is a union of all
known tabs' target nodes, eliminating the non-deterministic failure
where send-to-workflow could randomly target a tab lacking valid
targets.
- NodeRegistry.register_nodes(sid, nodes) replaces per-tab data
without affecting other tabs.
- NodeRegistry.get_merged_registry() returns the union across all
connected clients, together with tab_count / per-tab metadata.
- prepare_for_refresh() snapshots the current active sockets; caller
re-reads before merging so that newly-connected tabs are not pruned.
- workflow_registry.js sends api.clientId in the POST body so the
backend can identify which tab is registering.
When CivitAI image API returns meta=null and modelVersionIds at root
level, the import flow now:
- Injects modelVersionIds + browsingLevel into a minimal metadata dict
so the parser can discover LoRAs and checkpoints (both import-from-url
and analyze-image paths)
- Adds checkpoint dedup + fallback in the parser's modelVersionIds
handler to avoid duplicate API calls
- Runs EXIF extraction unconditionally in analyze-image path, then
merges with API metadata (fixes gen params loss)
- Propagates preview_nsfw_level through all three import paths:
import-from-url, analyze-image (UI Import), and batch-import,
plus the frontend save flow
Clicking the button closes the modal, writes filter params to sessionStorage,
and reloads the page to show all local versions of the model as individual
cards (bypassing group-by-model dedup). The filter respects the update flag
strategy and the versions-filter-toggle state (same-base vs all versions).
Supporting changes:
- sessionStorage keys vlm_model_id / vlm_model_name / vlm_base_model
- BaseModelApiClient._addModelSpecificParams adds civitai_model_id param
- LoraApiClient calls super._addModelSpecificParams for VLM detection
- LorasControls / CheckpointsControls clearCustomFilter checks VLM first
- PageControls.checkVlmFilter shows customFilterIndicator with label
- Backend parses civitai_model_id, filters before group_by_model dedup
Adds a 'Group by Model' toggle in Layout Settings. When enabled, only the
latest version (highest civitai.id) of each Civitai model is shown as a
single card — older versions sharing the same modelId are hidden.
Backend dedup runs in BaseModelService.get_paginated_data() before
filtering/pagination, ensuring correct paginated results. The setting
is persisted via the existing settings pipeline and passed as a query
parameter to the listing endpoint.
Includes:
- Backend: dedup logic, route param parsing, settings default
- Frontend: API param, SettingsManager wiring, toggle UI
- i18n: translations for all 10 locales
- Tests: unit test covering dedup on/off and standalone items
Backend changes:
- Add civitai_api_key to _NO_SYNC_KEYS, return only boolean civitai_api_key_set
- Clean up known template placeholder on load to prevent false positive
Frontend changes:
- Replace type=password with type=text + CSS masking (-webkit-text-security)
- Replace pre-filled input with status display (Configured/Not configured)
- Add inline edit view with Save/Cancel buttons
- Re-add eye toggle via CSS class toggle (not type switching)
- Use CSS transitions for smooth status/edit view switching
This prevents Chromium/Vivaldi password manager from triggering
'save password' prompts when opening the settings modal.
- Add 5 new Tabler SVG icons (currency-dollar, brush, user, git-merge, license)
- Implement Set 2 rendering in ModelModal.js (standalone UI) with green/red
permission indicators and preview_tooltip.js (ComfyUI widget)
- Add use_new_license_icons setting (default: true) with toggle in settings UI
- ComfyUI tooltip reads setting directly from preview-url API response to
eliminate race conditions and respect standalone settings changes
- Remove the now-unused separate ComfyUI setting loramanager.license_icon_style
- Add CSS for both standalone (lora-modal.css) and widget (lm_styles.css)
- i18n: translate licenseIcons keys into all 10 supported languages
- Fix test to use classic style explicitly for continued coverage
- 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
When a model is already classified as civitai_deleted=True via
.metadata.json but re-enters the failure block through the
civarchive/sqlite provider path (not the default provider),
needs_save was never set to True because civitai_api_not_found
and sqlite_attempted were both False. The flags were never
persisted to SQLite, causing the model to be re-fetched on
every restart.
Also demoted duplicate INFO/ERROR logging in fetch_and_update_model
to DEBUG (the use case already logs at WARNING), and added
exc_info=True to the fetch_all_civitai error handler.
