Hi

I'm running Comfyui in WSL on a 5090 machine. During the last week or so my setup keeps getting broken when installing new workflows from online, and adding custom nodes.

Last nights 6 hour trial was caused by Comfyui-Diffusers and created this error - AttributeError: Cannot set attribute 'src' directly. Use '_unsafe_update_src()' and manually clear .hash of all callersinstead.

(nothing in comfy worked after this)

After 6 hours of trying to solve it with ChatGPT and Gemini - I spoke to Kijai who said Uninstall Xformers... This immediately fixed the issue. But I would like to be able to prevent future nodes from installing xformers, without having to investigate every requirements.txt manually.

It would be great to have a blacklist file somewhere in comfyui that you could add modules that don't work with your set-up and prevent their install.

Thank you.
