## Summary
Add the ECS pattern survey appendix to ADR 0008's companion-documents
table, and drop stale `PromotionStore` references across architecture
docs to reflect the ADR 0009 removal.
## Changes
- **What**:
- New `docs/architecture/appendix-ecs-pattern-survey.md` — surveys
bitECS, miniplex, koota, ECSY, Bevy, and Thyseus: patterns adopted,
departed from, and when to revisit.
- ADR 0008 companion table gains a row pointing at the new appendix.
- `docs/adr/0009-…/before-after-flows.md`,
`docs/architecture/ecs-target-architecture.md`,
`docs/architecture/entity-problems.md` — drop references to
`PromotionStore` / `usePromotionStore` (the legacy three-layer mechanism
is gone; promoted value widgets are now linked `SubgraphInput`s).
- `docs/architecture/subgraph-boundaries-and-promotion.md` — reframes
its "current mechanism" section as historical context with an explicit
"removed by ADR 0009" callout.
- **Breaking**: None — docs-only.
## Review Focus
Wording in the historical-context callout on
`subgraph-boundaries-and-promotion.md`. Everything else is a small
cleanup or a new standalone document.

## Summary
Introduces **Subgraph Link Only Promotion** (ADR 0009) — a new model for
surfacing inner subgraph widgets on the parent SubgraphNode by
*promoting through links* rather than by duplicating widget state on the
host. Ships with the hygiene/refactor pass on the migration, store, and
event layers that the new model depends on.
## What changes
### Subgraph Link Only Promotion (ADR 0009)
Promoted widgets are defined by the link from a SubgraphNode input to
the interior node, not by a duplicated widget instance on the host.
Consequences:
- A SubgraphNode renders inner widgets purely as a **projection** of the
interior widgets and links — no host-side state to drift.
- **Per-host independence**: multiple instances of the same SubgraphNode
render and edit their own values without cross-talk.
- **Reversible promote/demote**: structural link operation, so demote
preserves host slots and external connections (#12278).
### Supporting refactors
- **Migration** — Planner/classifier/repair/quarantine helpers collapsed
into a single `proxyWidgetMigration` entry point with black-box
round-trip coverage. Honors the source-node-id disambiguator on
`proxyWidgets`, so deduplicated names (e.g. `text`, `text_1`) resolve to
the right interior widget.
- **Widget identity** — `appMode` unified on `WidgetEntityId`; promoted
widget state is keyed by entityId across the store, DOM, and migration
paths.
- **SubgraphNode** — 3-key promoted-view cache replaced with a single
version counter + explicit `invalidatePromotedViews()` at mutation
sites; `id === -1` sentinel removed.
- **Events** — `LGraph.trigger()` now dispatches node trigger payloads
through `this.events`, replacing a leaky `onTrigger` monkey-patch.
`SubgraphEditor` reactivity is driven from subgraph events instead of
imperative refresh.
- **Stores** — `appModeStore` migration helpers collapsed into
`upgradeAndValidateInput`; `nodeOutputStore.*ByExecutionId` derived from
the locator index; `previewExposureStore` cleanup and cycle-detection
double-warn fix.
- **Misc** — `Outcome` types consolidated; mutable accumulators replaced
with `flatMap`; new ESLint rule forbids litegraph imports under
`src/world/`.
### Tests
- Browser tests for promoted widgets retagged `@vue-nodes` and rewritten
to assert against the rendered Vue node DOM (via `getNodeLocator` /
`getByRole('textbox')` / `enterSubgraph`) instead of `page.evaluate`
graph introspection.
- Per-host widget independence asserted via DOM.
- Migration coverage moved to black-box round-trip tests.
- Added coverage for duplicate-named promoted widget identity (ADR 0009)
and the per-parent demote branch in `WidgetActions`.
## Review focus
- ADR 0009 conformance of the link-only promotion model.
- Disambiguator resolution path in `proxyWidgetMigration`.
- Single-version-counter promoted-view cache and its
`invalidatePromotedViews()` call sites.
- `LGraph.trigger()` event dispatch and the `AppModeWidgetList.vue`
migration off `onTrigger` (FE-667 tracks the remaining
`useGraphNodeManager` conversion).
## Breaking changes
None for users. Internal subgraph promotion APIs changed — see ADR 0009.

## Summary
Harden the `ChangeTracker` lifecycle to eliminate the class of bugs
where an inactive workflow's tracker silently captures the wrong graph
state. Renames `checkState()` to `captureCanvasState()` with a
self-defending assertion, introduces `deactivate()` and
`prepareForSave()` lifecycle methods, and closes a latent undo-history
corruption bug discovered during code review.
## Background
ComfyUI supports multiple workflows open as tabs, but only one canvas
(`app.rootGraph`) exists at a time. When the user switches tabs, the old
workflow's graph is unloaded and the new one is loaded into this shared
canvas.
The old `checkState()` method serialized `app.rootGraph` into
`activeState` to track changes for undo/redo. It had no awareness of
*which* workflow it belonged to -- if called on an inactive tab's
tracker, it would capture the active tab's graph data and silently
overwrite the inactive workflow's state. This caused permanent data loss
(fixed in PR #10745 with caller-side `isActive` guards).
The caller-side guards were fragile: every new call site had to remember
to add the guard, and forgetting would reintroduce the same silent data
corruption. Additionally, `beforeLoadNewGraph` only called `store()`
(viewport/outputs) without `checkState()`, meaning canvas state could be
stale if a tab switch happened without a preceding mouseup event.
### Before (fragile)
```
saveWorkflow(workflow):
if (isActive(workflow)) <-- caller must remember this guard
workflow.changeTracker.checkState() <-- name implies "read", actually writes
...
beforeLoadNewGraph():
activeWorkflow.changeTracker.store() <-- only saves viewport, NOT graph state
```
### After (self-defending)
```
saveWorkflow(workflow):
workflow.changeTracker.prepareForSave() <-- handles active/inactive internally
...
beforeLoadNewGraph():
activeWorkflow.changeTracker.deactivate() <-- captures graph + viewport together
```
## Changes
- Rename `checkState` to `captureCanvasState` with active-tracker
assertion
- Add `deactivate()` and `prepareForSave()` lifecycle methods
- Fix undo-history corruption: `captureCanvasState()` guarded by
`_restoringState`
- Fix viewport regression during undo: `deactivate()` skips
`captureCanvasState()` during undo/redo but always calls `store()` to
preserve viewport (regression from PR #10247)
- Log inactive tracker warnings unconditionally at warn level (not
DEV-only)
- Deprecated `checkState()` wrapper for extension compatibility
- Rename `checkState` to `captureCanvasState` in
`useWidgetSelectActions` composable
- Add `appModeStore.ts` to manual call sites documentation
- Add `checkState()` deprecation note to architecture docs
- Add 16 unit tests covering all guard conditions, lifecycle methods,
and undo behavior
- Add E2E test: "Undo preserves viewport offset"
## New ChangeTracker Public API
| Method | Caller | Purpose |
|--------|--------|---------|
| `captureCanvasState()` | Event handlers, UI interactions | Snapshots
canvas into activeState, pushes undo. Asserts active tracker. |
| `deactivate()` | `beforeLoadNewGraph` only | `captureCanvasState()`
(skipped during undo/redo) + `store()`. Freezes state for tab switch. |
| `prepareForSave()` | Save paths only | Active: `captureCanvasState()`.
Inactive: no-op. |
| `checkState()` | **Deprecated** -- extensions only | Wrapper that
delegates to `captureCanvasState()` with deprecation warning. |
| `store()` | Internal to `deactivate()` | Saves viewport, outputs,
subgraph navigation. |
| `restore()` | `afterLoadNewGraph` | Restores viewport, outputs,
subgraph navigation. |
| `reset()` | `afterLoadNewGraph`, save | Resets initial state (marks as
"clean"). |
## Test plan
- [x] Unit tests: 16 tests covering all guard conditions, state capture,
undo queue behavior
- [x] E2E test: "Undo preserves viewport offset" verifies no viewport
drift on undo
- [x] E2E test: "Prevents captureCanvasState from corrupting workflow
state during tab switch"
- [x] Existing E2E: "Closing an inactive tab with save preserves its own
content"
- [ ] Manual: rapidly switch tabs during undo/redo, verify no viewport
drift
- [ ] Manual: verify extensions calling `checkState()` see deprecation
warning in console
