chore(release): bump version to v1.2.0

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.

+# ComfyUI Dual-Mode Widget Rendering
+
+ComfyUI custom node widgets render in one of two modes. Patterns that work in one often fail silently in the other. Test both.
+
+## Mode Detection
+
+```js
+typeof LiteGraph !== 'undefined' && LiteGraph.vueNodesMode
+```
+
+In Vue SFCs, `window.LiteGraph` is unavailable — pass as a prop from `main.ts`.
+
+## Canvas Mode Layout
+
+Uses `computeLayoutSize()` + `distributeSpace()` to allocate widget height within the node. Widgets with `computeLayoutSize` participate in space distribution; those with `computeSize` have fixed height.
+
+- `getMinHeight()` in `addDOMWidget` options → minimum widget height
+- `widget.computeLayoutSize()` → `{ minHeight, minWidth, maxHeight? }`
+- Avoid `getMaxHeight()` unless the widget genuinely needs a fixed cap (prevents user resize)
+
+## Vue Mode Layout
+
+Uses CSS Grid (`grid-template-rows`) + `ResizeObserver`. The ResizeObserver watches the widget's DOM and feeds back into grid row sizing. This creates a feedback loop: content grows → row resizes → more space for content → content reflows/grows → row resizes again.
+
+### Height Containment
+
+The fix: `contain: layout size` on the widget root. This tells the browser the element's intrinsic size is CSS-determined, not driven by descendant content. The ResizeObserver sees a stable size and the loop is broken.
+
+```css
+.widget-root.lm-vue-node {
+  height: 100%;
+  min-height: var(--comfy-widget-min-height, 200px);
+  contain: layout size;
+}
+```
+
+Existing examples: `.lm-loras-container.lm-vue-node` and `.comfy-tags-container.lm-vue-node` in `web/comfyui/lm_styles.css`.
+
+**Do NOT** fix height issues with `maxHeight`, `getMaxHeight()`, or inline `max-height` — these prevent the user from resizing the node.
+
+## Scroll Wheel Isolation
+
+Both modes need to distinguish "user wants to scroll widget content" from "user wants to zoom canvas".
+
+**Canvas mode:** Add `@wheel` on widget root. Check `event.target.closest(selector)` for scrollable sub-areas. If scrollable → `event.stopPropagation()`. Otherwise → `app.canvas.processMouseWheel(event)`.
+
+**Vue mode:** Add CSS class `lm-wheel-scrollable` to scrollable elements. The global capture-phase hook in `web/comfyui/utils.js` (`enableListWheelScroll`) detects wheel events on marked elements and manually scrolls them via `element.scrollTop`, consuming the event before canvas zoom sees it.
+
+## DOM Structure
+
+`main.ts` creates an outer `<div>` container, then `vueApp.mount(container)`. The Vue app renders its own root element inside.
+
+- `container.id` / `container.style.*` → outer element
+- Vue scoped `<style>` → `[data-v-hash]` applies only to Vue root
+
+Classes needed by scoped Vue CSS must go on the Vue root element. Pass data as props and bind with `:class` rather than manipulating the DOM from `main.ts`.
+
+## Serialization
+
+For stateful widgets that need workflow persistence:
+
+- `serialize: true` in `addDOMWidget` options
+- `serializeValue()` → state snapshot (called on workflow save)
+- `onSetValue(v)` → restore state (called on workflow load)
+- Always handle missing keys in restored value for backward compatibility with old workflows
