test: address custom-node suite review feedback

- run the backend-touching specs in a dedicated `custom-nodes` Playwright
  project (tagged @custom-nodes in their titles) so the main sharded e2e job
  no longer collects them; their afterEach queue-drain used interrupt(null)
  and could cancel a parallel worker's in-flight prompt
- gating job uses --reporter=list,json,html so playwright-report/ (with the
  on-first-retry traces) is actually produced and uploaded, not discarded
- keep system Chrome for local runs but retain traces on failure; the
  trace:off workaround was stale (verified branded Chrome + trace records
  fine on the current Playwright pin)
- route NodeSlotReference.getPosition through canvasPosToClientPos instead of
  hand-rolled convertOffsetToCanvas + rect math, and drop a debug console.warn
- hoist expectNoVisibleErrors into errorSurfaces.ts (was duplicated across
  three specs and inlined in a fourth)
- delete the unused preValidate validator and its change-detector tests
- collapse expectedNodesPresent to missingExpectedNodes (a filter)
- batchAutoRunnable uses es-toolkit chunk
- log the per-pack registered node count (calibrates a follow-up
  expectedNodeCount guard against silent coverage shrinkage)

+# Adding a custom-node pack to the regression suite
+
+The authoritative, step-by-step process for onboarding a new pack. Written to
+be followable by a human or an agent with no prior context. The suite itself
+(what it asserts, how to run it) is documented in [README.md](README.md),
+and its system design in [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md); this file is
+only about adding coverage for a new pack.
+
+The short version: install the pack on a local test backend, read the pack's
+real node keys out of `/object_info`, author one small model-free workflow,
+add one row to the manifest, prove it green locally, push. No new test code
+is ever needed - the specs iterate the manifest. (One exception: a pack
+whose JS grows/shrinks input slots dynamically also adds one case row to
+`AUTOGROW_CASES` in `dynamicInputs.spec.ts` to enroll that behavior.)
+
+## What a manifest row buys you (the tiers)
+
+Adding the one row enrolls the pack in two kinds of coverage:
+
+- **Every-node tiers (automatic, zero configuration).** The suite reads the
+  pack's FULL node list from the live backend and, for every registered
+  node: mounts it in both renderers and asserts under EACH renderer that the
+  instance materializes everything its def declares - every non-socketless
+  input exists as a widget or a socket (autogrow templates count via their
+  expansion slots) and every declared output exists; the Vue pass
+  additionally asserts the DOM renders at least the instance's widget and
+  slot counts - a mount with missing controls fails. It then round-trips
+  every node through save/reload (every widget
+  is first written with a non-default value that must stick, and the
+  serialized `widgets_values` must survive configure unchanged), plans typed
+  connections for all its concrete slots (COMBO slots pair when they offer
+  the same option SET - order-insensitive, since a wired input bypasses its
+  own widget and only membership matters), and executes it for real when it
+  can run:
+  either self-sufficient (every required input is a widget with a valid
+  default) or `CHAINABLE` - every required socket type has a model-free
+  producer (`EmptyImage`, `EmptyLatentImage`, `SolidMask`, `Primitive*`,
+  `EmptyAudio`, ...) that the runner synthesizes and wires automatically.
+  Executed nodes must observably produce: the `PreviewAny` sink wired to the
+  node's first output must emit a ui payload, or the node is its own
+  terminus (`OUTPUT_NODE`). Nodes that cannot run are classified and
+  logged, never silently dropped: `NEEDS_WIRES` (a required socket type has
+  no model-free producer - MODEL, SEGS, CONDITIONING...), `NEEDS_MODELS`
+  (empty model/file combo on the bare backend), `NO_OBSERVABLE_OUTPUT`
+  (nothing observable to queue), or "rejected at validation on defaults"
+  (needs a curated fixture).
+- **Curated tiers (the row's fields).** `expectedNodes` + `workflow` drive
+  the hand-authored run-tier chain (Step 4) proving a real multi-node
+  wiring executes end to end, and serve as must-exist sentinels.
+
+Every-node coverage means a pack update is tested the moment CI installs
+it - including nodes you never listed.
+
+## Step 0 - prerequisites
+
+- A local test backend and dev server set up exactly per the
+  [README prerequisites](README.md#prerequisites). Do not skip `--multi-user`
+  or `--cache-none`.
+- The pack's GitHub URL. The CI job clones and pip-installs it, so the repo
+  must be public and its `requirements.txt` must install on a CPU-only
+  runner. Packs that hard-require CUDA at import time cannot be onboarded
+  until they guard that import.
+
+## Step 1 - install the pack on the test backend
+
+```bash
+cd <test-backend>/custom_nodes
+git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<pack>
+pip install -r <pack>/requirements.txt   # if the pack has one
+```
+
+The clone directory name must equal the manifest `pack` key: node
+attribution keys on that directory via `python_module`, and CI installs
+into `custom_nodes/<pack>` for the same reason.
+
+If you run a CPU-only backend, constrain pip so the pack cannot swap in a
+different torch (CI does the same):
+
+```bash
+pip freeze | grep -iE '^(torch|torchvision|torchaudio)==' > /tmp/torch-constraints.txt
+pip install -r <pack>/requirements.txt -c /tmp/torch-constraints.txt
+```
+
+Restart the backend and check its log: the `Import times for custom nodes`
+block must list the pack with no `IMPORT FAILED` marker. An import failure is
+a pack bug or a missing dependency - fix that first; nothing downstream can
+work without a clean import.
+
+While you are here, note whether the pack ships frontend JS:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8288/extensions | python3 -c '
+import json, sys
+print(sum(1 for p in json.load(sys.stdin) if p.startswith("/extensions/<pack-dir-name>/")))
+'
+```
+
+Non-zero means the pack patches the frontend at runtime (restyled nodes,
+rebuilt widgets, injected page chrome). Write that down - it decides whether
+Step 6 needs the CI-parity run. Both "green locally, red on CI" failures in
+the first 5-pack onboarding came from exactly this.
+
+## Step 2 - read the pack's real node keys
+
+The manifest's `expectedNodes` are the pack's `object_info` keys (the same
+strings the API uses as `class_type`). They are NOT Python class names and
+NOT display names. Get them from the running backend:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8288/object_info | python3 -c '
+import json, sys
+d = json.load(sys.stdin)
+for key, node in sorted(d.items()):
+    if node.get("python_module") == "custom_nodes.<pack-dir-name>":
+        print(key)
+'
+```
+
+Real traps this step catches (each one shipped in a real pack):
+
+| Pack                   | Correct key         | Wrong guesses that look right                                                   |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| ComfyUI_essentials     | `SimpleMathInt+`    | `SimpleMathInt` (keys carry a trailing `+`, except `DisplayAny` which has none) |
+| ComfyUI-KJNodes        | `INTConstant`       | `INT Constant` (that is the display name)                                       |
+| ComfyUI-Custom-Scripts | `ShowText\|pysssss` | `ShowText` (keys carry a `\|pysssss` suffix)                                    |
+| rgthree-comfy          | `Seed (rgthree)`    | `RgthreeSeed` (the Python class name)                                           |
+
+## Step 3 - pick the expected nodes
+
+Choose 2-3 nodes that are:
+
+- **Model-free**: no checkpoint / VAE / CLIP inputs, no file downloads. The
+  gate runs on CPU with no models installed. Constants, math, text, and
+  display nodes are ideal.
+- **Wireable into a chain**: at least one producer (has a typed output) and
+  one terminal node. A terminal node either has `output_node: true` in
+  `/object_info` (it terminates a workflow by itself) or you end the chain in
+  the core `PreviewAny` node, which accepts any type.
+
+Check a candidate's inputs, outputs, and `output_node` flag:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8288/object_info | python3 -c '
+import json, sys
+node = json.load(sys.stdin)["<exact key>"]
+print(json.dumps({k: node[k] for k in ("input", "output", "output_name", "output_node")}, indent=1))
+'
+```
+
+Every node you list in `expectedNodes` must appear in the run workflow: the
+run tier asserts each one actually executes on the backend.
+
+## Step 4 - author the run-tier workflow
+
+Add one JSON file under `browser_tests/assets/customNodes/`, named
+`<pack>_<what it does>_run.json`. Copy an existing asset as the template
+(`rgthree_seed_display_run.json` is the simplest two-node example;
+`was_number_text_run.json` shows a 3-node chain). It is the frontend
+workflow format, hand-authorable:
+
+- `nodes[].type` is the exact `object_info` key from Step 2.
+- `widgets_values` is an array in the node's widget order: the `input`
+  entries from `/object_info` in declaration order (`required` first, then
+  `optional`), keeping only widget-type inputs (INT, FLOAT, STRING, BOOLEAN,
+  and combo lists) and skipping any input whose options say
+  `"forceInput": true` (those are sockets, never widgets). A required input
+  that is neither a widget type nor `forceInput` (a custom type like
+  `NUMBER`) is also a socket: wire a link into it or the run fails on a
+  missing required input.
+- A link is one row in `links`: `[link_id, from_node_id, from_slot,
+to_node_id, to_slot, "TYPE"]`, plus the matching `link`/`links` ids on the
+  two nodes' `inputs`/`outputs` entries.
+- To wire INTO an input that would normally be a widget (no `forceInput`),
+  the input entry also needs a `"widget": { "name": "<input name>" }` key -
+  see `browser_tests/assets/vueNodes/linked-int-widget.json`.
+- Keep it tiny. Two to four nodes proving "this pack executes" is the whole
+  job; feature-depth testing belongs to the pack's own repo.
+- If the workflow needs a media file, reuse something already under
+  `browser_tests/assets/` (e.g. `plain_video.mp4`) - never commit new binary
+  assets. CI stages `plain_video.mp4` into the backend's `input/` dir; if
+  your workflow needs a different existing asset staged, extend the
+  `Stage run-tier assets` step in
+  `.github/workflows/ci-tests-custom-nodes.yaml`.
+- A media path in the workflow (e.g. `input/plain_video.mp4`) resolves
+  against the backend process's working directory, not the repo. Locally,
+  copy the file into the `input/` dir of the directory you launched
+  `main.py` from, or the run tier fails validation with
+  `Invalid file path` and the test reports `TIMEOUT`.
+
+## Step 5 - add the manifest row
+
+Append one object to `browser_tests/fixtures/data/customNodeManifest.json`:
+
+| Field                | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `pack`               | The pack's directory name under `custom_nodes/` (what `git clone` creates).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| `repo`               | The GitHub URL CI clones. Required non-empty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+| `pin`                | Required: the full 40-char commit SHA you verified locally. The manifest loader rejects anything else at load and CI fails before install (empty is accepted only under `CUSTOM_NODES_ALLOW_UNPINNED=1`, reserved for the planned pack-HEAD canary). CI checks it out after cloning, so the gate tests exactly what you tested. Bump deliberately, re-verifying per this doc.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+| `tiers`              | Tier gates: `connectivity` (typed links + slot drags) and `run` (executes the workflow) enable their tiers; `load` is descriptive only - the register+render pass runs for every row regardless. Keep all three unless a tier is impossible for the pack.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| `workflow`           | Path relative to `browser_tests/` of the Step 4 file. `""` only while the pack has no `run` tier.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
+| `expectedNodes`      | The Step 2/3 keys. The load tier mounts each in both renderers; the run tier asserts each executes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| `expectedExtensions` | Required. Frontend extension names the pack's JS registers at boot (`app.registerExtension({ name })` in the pinned source - grep its web/js dir). The load tier asserts each is present in `window.app.extensions`, catching a pack whose frontend JS silently fails to load while its backend nodes still register. One boot-registered sentinel name per pack is enough for the pack-level failure modes this assert targets (wrong web dir, a loadExtensions regression); extension files load per-file, so a single-file failure inside a multi-file pack is out of scope for this tier. Do not enumerate every extension. `[]` only when the pinned pack ships no frontend JS. |
+| `requiresGpu`        | `true` only if execution genuinely needs CUDA. Such packs cannot use the `run` tier on the CPU gate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| `requiresModels`     | Model files the workflow needs (`[]` for the packs onboarded so far - keep it that way whenever possible).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| `timeoutMs`          | Per-test budget. `30000` unless the workflow does real work (video decode uses `90000`).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

+`loadManifest()` (`browser_tests/fixtures/customNode/manifest.ts`) validates
+every row and fails loudly on a missing field, an empty `repo`, a misspelled
+tier, or a `run` tier with an empty `workflow`.
+
+## Step 6 - prove it green locally, in both environments
+
+### 6a - fast loop (dev server)
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:custom-nodes
+```
+
+Green means: every tier for every pack passes, zero skips, and the
+zero-visible-errors invariant held for the tiers that assert it (mount,
+persistence, connectivity, core smoke, curated workflows): no error
+overlay, dialog, node error, or error toast. Two deliberate exceptions,
+same as the README: the auto-run execution tier provokes expected
+failures, and the self-check inverts the invariant. Iterate here - it is
+the fastest loop.
+
+Two surfaces fail under 6a BY DESIGN and are proven in 6b/CI instead: the
+T0 `expectedExtensions` assert and the dynamic-inputs tier. Both depend on
+pack frontend JS, which the dev server never loads (see 6b) - so their 6a
+red is the assert working, not a setup problem. Everything else must be
+green here.
+
+### 6b - CI-parity run (required if the pack ships frontend JS)
+
+The dev server never loads pack frontend JS (its `/extensions` list is
+core-only), so 6a exercises vanilla nodes. If Step 1 found frontend JS, a
+6a green proves nothing about the pack's real runtime behavior. CI serves
+the built frontend from the backend, so reproduce that exactly:
+
+```bash
+pnpm build
+# relaunch the test backend with the same flags plus:
+#   --front-end-root <repo>/dist
+# and make sure any run-tier media is in that process's input/ dir
+PLAYWRIGHT_TEST_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8288 pnpm exec playwright test \
+  browser_tests/tests/customNodes/ --config playwright.chrome.config.ts --workers=1
+```
+
+Both real failures during the first 5-pack onboarding only existed here:
+rgthree's progress bar shifted the canvas and broke slot-drag coordinates,
+and rgthree's Seed rebuilt a declared input as widget-only. Skipping 6b
+means discovering that class of problem one CI round at a time.
+
+### Failure classes and what they mean
+
+- **T0 fails only in the Vue Nodes pass** (the LiteGraph pass is green):
+  suspected Vue Nodes 2.0 incompatibility. Follow the policy below - do not
+  delete the pack, do not skip the test.
+- **Run tier fails with `PARTIAL`** (some expected nodes never executed):
+  either the backend is missing `--cache-none` (cached nodes emit no
+  `executing` event) or an expected node is not actually in the workflow.
+- **Run tier fails with an execution error**: the workflow JSON is wrong
+  (bad key, wrong `widgets_values` order, type-mismatched link) or the pack
+  cannot execute model-free. Fix the workflow or drop the node for a
+  simpler one.
+- **Connectivity reports zero planned pairs**: the pack's slots are all
+  wildcard typed, or combo typed with no same-vocabulary partner (wildcards
+  bypass the real type compare; combos pair only when their option lists
+  match exactly). The pack still gets load/run coverage.
+- **Connectivity logs `widget-only on instance` exclusions**: the pack's own
+  frontend JS rebuilt a declared input as a widget-only control (rgthree's
+  Seed does this to `seed`), so there is no socket to wire. Recorded and
+  excluded, like wildcards - pack design, not a regression.
+- **Auto-run reports a node "not in cannotRunAlone"**: the node failed to
+  execute on pure defaults or synthesized chain inputs (validation reject,
+  or a real exception from degenerate inputs - empty expression, empty
+  coordinate JSON, single-frame batch, missing optional python dep). If the
+  node USED to run clean this is a regression; otherwise add it to the
+  row's `cannotRunAlone` baseline with the run log in the PR. The check is
+  two-way: a listed node that starts running clean fails the suite until
+  the stale entry is removed. Confidence note: a chain failure proves the
+  node cannot run on synthesized inputs, not that it is broken - the inputs
+  may be semantically insufficient (e.g. a coordinates STRING fed an empty
+  string).
+- **Auto-run reports `NO_OUTPUT`**: the node executed but its `PreviewAny`
+  sink emitted no ui payload - data never actually flowed out of the node.
+  Treat like any other cannot-run failure: regression or baseline entry.
+- **Auto-run fails with `HUNG_BACKEND`**: a node blocked forever during
+  execution. Observed mechanism classes so far: model downloads at execute
+  (BLIP/SAM/MiDaS/rembg/CLIPSeg `from_pretrained`), runtime
+  `pip install` inside execute (WAS lazy-install), minutes-long pure-Python
+  per-pixel loops, and an infinite `while` on empty-string defaults. The
+  failure names the suspects and the remedy: add the offender to
+  `AUTO_RUN_EXCLUDE` in `allNodes.spec.ts` with its mechanism, and restart
+  the test backend (the hang is non-interruptible). Everything queued
+  behind the offender reports `HUNG_BACKEND` too - identify the true
+  offender (backend log, `/queue`) before excluding victims.
+- **Mount test fails on console errors**: a pack's JS logged real errors
+  while its nodes mounted. If it is pack-attributed noise with no visible
+  error surface (KJNodes' loader previews fetching `filename=undefined`),
+  add a scoped `CONSOLE_ERROR_ALLOWLIST` entry (in
+  `fixtures/customNode/consoleErrorLedger.ts`, shared by the all-nodes
+  tiers and the curated run) with the mechanism; otherwise it is a
+  finding.
+
+### The exception ledgers (all reasons on the record)
+
+Every escape hatch is a reviewed list whose entries carry the mechanism, so
+the gate stays honest and none can grow silently:

+
+### Evidence rules for changing the harness itself
+
+Two bug classes shipped past green tests once, so these are now policy:
+
+- **Ground assertions in an oracle you did not write.** A semantic claim
+  about how ComfyUI behaves (what a wire accepts, what an event means, when
+  a widget exists) must cite a live probe, the backend/frontend source, or
+  a CI observation - never plausibility. If every layer agreeing with you
+  was authored from your own mental model (code, fixtures, measurement
+  script), their agreement is not evidence.
+- **Parse live data against a shape census, not memory.** Node defs reach
+  the suite through `getNodeDefs`, which emits BOTH schema forms (combo as
+  an option-list literal AND as the string `COMBO` with `options`/`remote`
+  in the opts; `forceInput` on any form; autogrow `template` inputs;
+  `socketless`). Any parser of def shapes must handle every form the census
+  shows, its pure-spec fixtures must include each form (copied from real
+  census examples, not invented), and an unrecognized shape must be
+  excluded WITH a record - never silently matched or silently skipped.
+- **Verify against the source the code consumes.** Measuring raw
+  `/object_info` proves nothing about code that reads the transformed
+  `getNodeDefs` object.
+
+## Step 7 - push and watch CI
+
+The `CI: Tests Custom Nodes` job (gating) re-does Steps 1-6 from scratch on
+every PR: clones every manifest `repo` at its `pin`, pip-installs under CPU
+torch constraints, boots the backend, runs the suite, and fails on any
+install error, any test failure, or any skipped test. A new pack row is
+automatically picked up; no workflow edit is needed unless you must stage an
+extra asset (Step 4).
+
+If CI goes red where local was green, reproduce under the Step 6b
+environment before changing anything - the first such failure looked like
+upstream drift but was actually pack frontend JS that never loads under
+the dev server. Only after 6b reproduces it, decide: adjust the suite's
+expectation honestly (the way widget-only instance slots became a recorded
+exclusion) or, for genuine upstream drift after a pin bump, re-pin the
+pack to its last good commit. Never paper
+over it with a skip.
+
+## Vue Nodes 2.0 compatibility policy
+
+Some packs only work under the LiteGraph canvas renderer and fail to mount
+under Vue Nodes 2.0. The suite must state that fact without producing false
+failures and without skipping tests:
+
+1. **Default**: every pack is assumed compatible. New rows omit
+   `vueNodesCompatible`.
+2. **Evidence rule**: set `"vueNodesCompatible": false` ONLY after the T0
+   Vue pass fails for the pack locally while the LiteGraph pass is green,
+   and the failure reproduces on a retry. A README grumble, a hunch, or an
+   old forum thread is not evidence. Record the evidence (the failing
+   assertion and the pack version) in the PR description of the change that
+   sets the flag. When only SOME of a pack's nodes fail to mount, use the
+   per-node `vueIncompatibleNodes` ledger in the manifest row instead of
+   flagging the whole pack - compatibility is per-node, not per-pack (all
+   823 nodes across the first 7 packs mount clean, so both mechanisms ship
+   unused; the every-node mount tier is what earns an entry).
+3. **Effect of `false`**: the load tier runs its LiteGraph pass only, and
+   the connectivity drag test does not drag that pack's edges under Vue
+   Nodes. The tests still run and pass their canvas assertions - nothing is
+   `test.skip`ped, so the CI skip gate stays honest. The run tier and the
+   connectivity contract sweep are renderer-independent (they never toggle
+   the Vue Nodes setting) and run for the pack regardless of the flag - a
+   flagged pack must still execute and wire cleanly there.
+4. **Un-flagging**: if a pack ships Vue Nodes support later, delete the flag
+   and prove T0 green in both passes locally.

+# Custom-node regression suite architecture
+
+The design of the custom-node regression suite: what it is made of, how the
+pieces cooperate, the decisions behind them, and the gotchas that shaped
+them. Companion docs: [README.md](README.md) (how to run it),
+[ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md) (how to onboard a pack).
+
+The document is organized as eight architecture views; the diagram map
+under "Reading paths" shows what question each answers and how they nest.
+Implementation symbols live in one place: the implementation map at the
+end (section 14).
+
+## What / Why / How, in one minute
+
+**What it proves.** On every PR, for every node that the manifest's
+community packs register on a real backend, the suite proves four concrete
+things: the node mounts completely in both renderers (the canvas renderer,
+LiteGraph, and the DOM renderer, Vue Nodes 2.0), it survives save/reload,
+its slots wire type-correctly, and it executes when its inputs allow.
+Section 1 states each proof precisely.
+
+> **Scale snapshot (example, at the time of writing):** 7 packs, 823
+> registered nodes, about 5,000 planned wiring checks, about 440 nodes
+> executing clean per run. These are observations printed by the run, not
+> properties of the design; they move whenever the manifest or a pin moves.
+
+**What it does NOT prove.** Output semantics, frontend-only nodes, and
+hour-scale soak behavior are out of scope; section 1 states the non-goals
+precisely. Green means "every registered node still mounts, saves, wires,
+and runs," and nothing wider: a compatibility and regression gate, not a
+behavior certifier.
+
+**Why it exists.** Regressions against real community packs used to be
+invisible: the frontend could break widely installed packs and no test
+would fail, because nothing exercised those packs at all. Claims about
+which packs worked were anecdotes with no receipts. The suite turns "most
+packs are broken" or "this one is fine" from an opinion into a per-node,
+reproducible result attached to a PR.
+
+**How it works, in one paragraph.** One manifest row per pack (source,
+pinned version, tiers, a tiny curated workflow) drives everything; there is
+no per-pack test code. The suite reads each pack's real node list live from
+the backend, derives what every node should be able to do, and verifies it
+in a real browser against a real backend with the pack's own frontend
+scripts active. Every exception is a reviewed record that carries its
+causal mechanism, every exception list is guarded against going stale
+(section 10 grades the strength of each guard), and execution results are
+reconciled in both directions against a known-failure baseline, so the
+gate can neither hide a regression nor accumulate dead exemptions.
+Nothing is ever skipped; a skip fails the job.
+
+## Reading paths
+
+- **Skeptical about what green actually covers?** Section 1 (what it proves
+  and the non-goals) and section 12 (the gotchas: every real incident, its
+  root cause, and the defense).
+- **Deciding pack strategy** (which packs to keep, which renderers to
+  support): section 11 (design decisions and their trade-offs) and the Vue
+  Nodes compatibility policy in ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md. A pack is one
+  manifest row to add or remove.
+- **Onboarding a pack:** ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md, not this doc. This doc is
+  the why; that doc is the step-by-step.
+- **Debugging a red run:** the failure-class list in ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md
+  maps each red message to a cause; sections 7 and 10 show where in the pipeline it
+  happened; section 12 gives symptom-first triage.
+
+How to read the diagrams: a rectangle is one step, named by its purpose; a
+diamond is a short question, drawn only where the flow genuinely forks; a
+check that cannot fork is a "Check:" step, not a diamond; a titled group
+is a thing with internal structure; mechanism detail lives in the prose
+under each diagram, not stacked inside boxes.
+
+The eight views are zoom levels of one mental model, not eight parallel
+pictures. Every arrow below names the element of the parent view that the
+child expands. The map is ordered by zoom, not by page order: arrows say
+what contains what, section numbers say where to read.

+The mount and wiring tiers have no diagram on purpose: each is a

+tables in section 5.
+
+## 1. What this suite proves, and deliberately does not
+
+For every node that the manifest's packs register on the backend,
+re-discovered live on every run:
+
+- the node **mounts completely** in both renderers: the instance
+  materializes every input and output its definition declares, and under
+  the DOM renderer the page renders at least the instance's widget and
+  slot counts
+- the node **survives save/reload**: no widget silently disappears and no
+  serialized value silently changes across a save/reload round-trip, and a
+  user-like non-default write sticks and survives a second reload, under
+  both renderers (dynamic widgets the application itself adds on reload are
+  expected and allowed, see section 8)
+- the node's concrete slots **wire type-correctly** through the real
+  connection validator, and the wires survive save, reload, and prompt
+  serialization
+- the node **executes on a real backend** when its inputs allow it, and its
+  output observably arrives at an observation sink
+- the pack's **frontend extensions actually load**: every extension name the
+  manifest declares (`expectedExtensions`) is registered in the browser.
+  Backend nodes can register while the pack's JS silently fails to load
+  (wrong web dir, a loadExtensions regression), which would strip every
+  JS-driven behavior and quietly downgrade this suite to testing vanilla
+  nodes
+- **dynamic input slots grow and shrink** for the curated autogrow nodes:
+  connecting the last input adds a slot (via both a real drag and a
+  programmatic connect, under both renderers, in the graph AND, in the Vue
+  renderer, as a rendered row), disconnecting removes the trailing empty. This behavior lives in
+  pack JS (`onConnectionsChange` overrides), invisible to `/object_info`, so
+  the def-driven tiers above cannot see it
+
+Every tier also asserts the app shows **zero visible errors** while doing
+this, except the execution tier, which deliberately provokes expected
+failures (section 7).
+
+Deliberately out of scope: output semantics (does a blur actually blur),
+frontend-virtual nodes that never register on the backend, and hour-scale
+soak behavior. A rare intermittent glitch that only surfaces after long
+interactive use (a widget that occasionally shrinks on its own) is soak
+behavior: this per-PR gate will not catch it, and does not claim to.
+
+## 2. System context
+
+Who and what the suite touches.
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 220}}}%%
+flowchart LR
+    CIP["CI platform: runs the gate on every PR"]
+    PACKS["Community node packs: external code, installed at pinned versions"]

+
+The two "Suite" boxes are the same system, split so the flow reads one way:
+the driver puts the frontend through its paces, and verdict synthesis turns
+what came back into the per-node verdicts and mechanism-carrying exceptions
+the team consumes. Nothing flows backwards.
+
+The load-bearing property: the suite tests the same stack a user runs. The
+pack's own frontend scripts are active, the backend actually executes
+graphs, and nothing is mocked.
+
+## 3. The verification environment
+
+The environment must have these properties, or the suite reports green
+while testing the wrong thing:
+
+| Requirement                                                               | Why                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

+The shared services behind the tiers:
+
+| Service               | Used by                                                                 | Responsibility                                                                                                                                                          |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Definition Normalizer | Wiring (slot model); every all-nodes tier (pack attribution, node keys) | one canonical connectable-slot model out of the multiple definition dialects (section 6), feeding the pairing planner                                                   |
+| Capability Classifier | Execution                                                               | decides, per node, what it can do without hand-written fixtures: run on its own defaults, run with synthesized inputs, or blocked, with the reason recorded (section 7) |
+| Execution Harness     | Execution                                                               | runs nodes for real and attributes every outcome to the right node despite an asynchronous, noisy event stream (sections 7 and 9)                                       |
+
+Two further tiers (curated workflows, core smoke) sit alongside these four
+but are fixture-driven rather than derived from the node corpus; section 5
+lists all six.
+
+Dialect handling is deliberately not centralized. Mount and the Capability
+Classifier read the raw definitions through their own purpose-built
+parsers (`declaredShape`, `classifyInput`), because each needs a different
+slice of a definition (declared parts vs. runnability); the normalizer's
+slot model feeds the wiring planner alone, though the all-nodes tiers
+also call it for pack attribution and node-key derivation. What keeps the
+three parsers from drifting is shared evidence, not shared code: each is
+pinned by fixtures copied from a live census of both definition dialects
+(section 6).
+
+- **Pack Manifest**: the single extension point. Adding a pack is one row;
+  no tier knows pack names.
+- **Evidence Ledgers**: the honesty mechanism. An exception without a
+  recorded mechanism is not allowed to exist (section 10).
+
+## 5. The verification tiers
+
+| Tier                 | Verifies                                                                                                                                                                                 | Renderers                                               | Notes                                                                                   |
+| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Mount Completeness   | every declared input and output actually materializes on the created node; the DOM renderer additionally shows at least the instance's widget/slot counts                                | both; a pack declared Vue-incompatible runs canvas only | missing parts fail; extras are tolerated                                                |
+| Persistence          | save/reload loses nothing and changes nothing; user-like writes stick and survive reload                                                                                                 | both; a pack declared Vue-incompatible runs canvas only | application-added dynamic widgets are legal; see section 8                              |
+| Wiring Compatibility | one representative typed wire per slot connects through the real validator and survives save, reload, and prompt serialization                                                           | breadth sweep: one, by decision 7; curated drags: both  | dropdown slots pair only on identical option sets; see section 10 for exception routing |
+| Execution            | the node runs on a real backend and its output arrives at an observation sink                                                                                                            | one, by decision 7                                      | the full flow is section 7                                                              |
+| Curated workflows    | a small hand-authored graph per pack executes end to end; its named must-exist nodes are asserted present (a missing one fails the tier, catching a pack that renamed or dropped a node) | both (render pass)                                      | plus a forced-error self-check proving the harness detects real failures                |
+| Core smoke           | the core app loads a workflow cleanly with packs installed                                                                                                                               | both                                                    | guards against packs breaking the base app                                              |
+
+One vocabulary bridge, because the manifest predates these tier names: the
+manifest row's `tiers` field takes `load`, `run`, `connectivity`, and
+`io`. Today `run` gates the curated workflow execution, `connectivity`
+gates the wiring tier, and everything else ignores the field: mount,
+persistence, execution, and the curated render pass run for every row
+unconditionally, and core smoke is pack-independent. `load` and `io` are
+accepted by the schema but currently gate nothing.
+
+## 6. The node-definition pipeline
+
+Where the suite's knowledge of every node comes from: definitions flow left
+to right, and three independent parsers derive three plans from one live
+census.
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 380}}}%%
+flowchart LR
+    PUB["Backend publishes node definitions"] --> CORPUS["Live definition census: every node the packs register, re-discovered each run, in two dialects"]
+    CORPUS -->|"wiring slot normalizer"| W["Wiring plan: which slots can pair, and why"]
+    CORPUS -->|"execution classifier"| X["Execution plan: which nodes can run, and why the rest cannot"]
+    CORPUS -->|"mount declared-shape parser"| M["Mount expectations: what each created node must materialize"]
+```
+
+The three plans are independent consumers of the same census, each through
+its own dialect-aware parser (section 4 names the symbols): the wiring
+plan feeds the Wiring Compatibility tier, the execution plan feeds the
+Execution tier, and the mount expectations feed Mount Completeness.
+
+Design rule that came from a real bug: every consumer must handle **both
+definition dialects** (legacy list-form and V2 object-form), and anything
+with an unknown shape is excluded with a record, never silently matched or
+skipped. The dialects differ in where dropdown options live, how "must be
+wired" is flagged, and how growable input groups are declared; details and
+evidence rules are in ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md.
+
+## 7. The execution flow
+
+How the suite runs hundreds of foreign nodes safely, with no fixtures, and
+still attributes every failure to the right node.
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 700}}}%%
+flowchart TD
+    CLASS["Classify each node: what can it do with no hand-written fixtures?"]
+    CLASS --> RUND["runnable on its own defaults"]
+    CLASS --> RUNS["runnable with synthesized inputs"]
+    CLASS --> BLOCK["blocked: the reason is recorded"]
+    RUND --> BATCH["Group runnable nodes into small batches: a failure stays isolated, and one submission carries many nodes instead of paying the round-trip per node"]
+    RUNS --> BATCH
+    BLOCK --> REC
+    BLOCK ~~~ BATCH
+    BATCH --> TG
+    subgraph TG ["Build the batch's disposable test graph: one isolated chain per node"]
+        PROD["synthetic producers for each required input"] --> NUT["the node under test"]
+        NUT --> SINK["an observation sink on its output"]
+    end
+    TG --> SUBQ["Submit the assembled batch graph for real execution"]
+    SUBQ --> GUARD{"submission outcome?"}
+    GUARD -->|"crashed inside a pack's own script"| ERR
+    GUARD -->|"accepted"| OBSERVE["Collect the execution events as the graph runs, keeping only events that belong to this submission and name a node in this test graph (section 9)"]
+    OBSERVE --> V{"outcome?"}
+    V -->|"ran, output observed at the sink"| CLEAN["clean"]
+    V -->|"ran, nothing arrived at the sink"| NOOUT["failure: data never flowed"]
+    V -->|"error attributed to this graph"| ERR["failure: named node, named cause"]
+    V -->|"no response in time"| TRIP["tripwire: interrupt the engine, then watch whether the queue drains"]
+    TRIP --> INT{"recovers?"}
+    INT -->|"yes"| ERR
+    INT -->|"no"| HUNG["engine wedged: stop the tier and name the batch as suspects; queued nodes are victims, not findings"]
+    ERR --> BIS["re-run each batch member alone, so the offender names itself"]
+    NOOUT --> BIS
+    CLEAN --> REC
+    BIS --> REC["Reconcile with the known-failure baseline, in BOTH directions: an unlisted failure fails the gate; a listed entry that now passes, or can no longer run at all, also fails it. Exclusion ledgers are stale-guarded separately"]
+```
+
+Synthesized inputs are produced by a small set of self-sufficient producer
+nodes (an empty image, an empty latent, a solid mask, primitive values), so
+"runnable with synthesized inputs" needs no per-node authoring. The
+observation sink is what upgrades "it finished" to "its output actually
+arrived somewhere."
+
+The submission guard is why a crash inside a pack's own script can never
+abort the tier: the throw is caught in the page, recorded as that node's
+failure with the client error text, and the run moves on.
+
+## 8. The persistence check
+
+Why it is staged: the DOM renderer's widget components react to creation
+and reload on their own schedule, and a check that snapshots synchronously
+would compare state those reactions never touched. The whole pass runs once
+per renderer.
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 240}}}%%
+flowchart LR
+    P1["Stand up: create every node of the pack, let the UI settle"]
+    P2["Round-trip: snapshot, reload from the snapshot, snapshot again"]
+    P3["Check: nothing lost, nothing changed; additions the application itself makes are legal"]
+    P4["Probe: write a user-like non-default value into every plain widget, verify every write sticks"]
+    P5["Round-trip again: snapshot, reload from the snapshot, snapshot again"]
+    P6["Check: written values survive wherever the node's shape stayed stable (a changed dropdown can legally rebuild a dynamic node's widgets)"]
+    P1 --> P2 --> P3 --> P4 --> P5 --> P6
+```
+
+Between phases the rig yields to the UI so renderer effects flush before
+the next snapshot; those settle points are what makes the staging real.
+
+Widgets whose values the pack's own script owns (canonicalized references,
+embedded editors) are exempt from probe writes, each with a recorded
+mechanism: writing probe markers into them only makes the pack's script
+choke on the probe.
+
+## 9. Event attribution
+
+Real execution reports back over an asynchronous event stream, and the
+stream can mislead in two specific ways. Both produced real misattributed
+failures before the filters existed. The primary defense is positive: when
+the harness submits a graph, it captures the id the backend assigns to
+that submission from the submission response itself, so an event's
+ownership is checked against a known id, never inferred from history.
+Every arriving event passes the same two questions before it may count as
+evidence:
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 280}}}%%
+flowchart TD
+    EV["an event arrives on the execution stream, while this attempt runs"]
+    EV --> Q1{"from THIS attempt?"}
+    Q1 -->|"no: it does not carry the id this submission was assigned"| DROP["dropped: a stray cannot blame any node in this run"]
+    Q1 -->|"yes"| Q2{"names a node in THIS test graph?"}
+    Q2 -->|"no: it names another graph's nodes"| DROP
+    Q2 -->|"yes"| KEEP["kept: evidence for exactly that node"]
+```
+
+Both no-answers are checkable, not hopeful. The first is a comparison
+against the captured submission id: an event either carries it or it does
+not. If that capture ever misses, the harness says so on the console and
+falls back to identity bookkeeping, recording every attempt identity it
+has ever seen so a late event from an observed attempt still identifies
+itself. The second question defeats the one stray the first cannot: a
+retried duplicate arriving under a never-seen identity. Node identities
+are never reused within a session, so such an event can only name an
+earlier graph's nodes. Membership is decisive.
+
+## 10. The evidence model
+
+The suite's honesty mechanism. Every exception is a reviewed record that
+names its causal mechanism, and every list is guarded: an entry naming a
+node the pack no longer registers fails the suite. Full per-record
+semantics live in the ledger table in
+[ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md).
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 300}}}%%
+flowchart TD
+    F["a node fails a tier"] --> Q1{"is EXECUTING it unsafe or environment-dependent?"}
+    Q1 -- yes --> L1["execution exclusion: never run; mechanism on record; every other tier still applies"]
+    Q1 -- no --> Q2{"does it fail deterministically on synthesized inputs?"}
+    Q2 -- yes --> L2["known-failure baseline: still runs every time; reconciled in both directions"]
+    Q2 -- no --> Q3{"does the pack's own script own the failing surface?"}
+    Q3 -- yes --> L3["scoped exception record naming the mechanism"]
+    Q3 -- no --> L4["no exception applies: it is a finding. Fix it or file it"]
+```
+
+What the first question means in practice: runtime downloads or installs,
+infinite loops, host-specific results, mutable-content dropdowns,
+unreliable completion signals. What a pack script owning the failing
+surface looks like: rewritten values, custom widgets, vetoed wires,
+console noise.
+
+The two-way baseline is what stops the whole evidence model from rotting: a
+failure that is not listed fails the gate, and a listed node that starts
+passing ALSO fails the gate until its stale entry is removed. Exemptions
+cannot silently accumulate.
+
+Not every ledger can earn that two-way strength; the guards come in three
+grades. Ledgers whose nodes still execute (the known-failure baseline) are
+two-way behavioral: a new failure and a stale entry both flip the gate.
+Ledgers that stop a path from running at all (execution exclusions,
+probe-write exemptions) are registration guarded: the suite proves the
+named node still exists, but the excluded path never runs, so an entry
+that stopped being necessary cannot be observed; staleness there is
+caught by review, not observation. Weakest are the pattern allowlists
+(the console-error ledger): an entry that no longer matches anything
+simply filters nothing, and usage tracking cannot be naively bolted on,
+because some patterns are environment conditional (a missing-model 404
+fires only on hosts without the model), so an entry can be legitimately
+idle in one environment and load-bearing in the next.
+
+The console-error ledger also has a bounded window, not just bounded
+strength. Collection starts inside each tier, so it covers that tier's
+own actions (load, run, wire, save); console noise a pack logs at app
+boot, before the first tier action, is outside it - the shared app
+fixture navigates once at setup, so boot output predates any per-pack
+collector. This is deliberate: boot breakage that reaches a visible
+surface is still caught by the startup zero-visible-errors check, and
+invisible boot console noise is exactly what the ledger exists to
+tolerate rather than gate on.
+
+## 11. Design decisions
+
+The decisions that define the suite, with their trade-offs. Each is
+deliberate, and each is cheap to reverse or narrow later. The suite's one
+deliberate extension seam is the curated-workflow fixture: anything the
+manifest cannot derive from the live node corpus (pack-specific semantics,
+multi-node behavior) is expressed there (decisions 6 and 11).
+
+| #   | Decision                                                                                                                                                                                                    | Why                                                                                                                                                   | Trade-off accepted                                                                                                                          |

+## 12. Gotchas: every incident, its root cause, and the defense
+
+These failure modes shaped the suite. Each was real: something passed that
+should have failed, or failed for a reason that had nothing to do with the
+node under test. Named nodes below are worked examples of their class,
+kept because specifics are what make a mechanism checkable. Do not remove
+a defense without re-reading its incident. The two recurring team concerns
+these answer: "green but broken" and "tests can never catch random bugs."
+
+### G1. Dev-server pack-script blindspot
+
+- **You hit it when**: a node behaves perfectly in local dev but breaks on
+  CI, or vice versa, on any pack that restyles nodes, rebuilds widgets, or
+  hooks the submission path.
+- **Root cause**: the dev server loads core extension scripts only; pack
+  frontend scripts never run under it. The node tested there is a
+  different node than the one users get.
+- **Defense**: the environment contract (section 3): the backend serves the
+  built frontend and tests point at the backend. CI does exactly this (section 13).
+- **Answers**: green but broken.
+
+### G2. Widget-state bleed through recycled node identities
+
+- **You hit it when**: a node fails validation with a value it was never
+  given, specifically a dropdown carrying an option that belongs to some
+  OTHER node created earlier in the same session.
+- **Root cause**: the frontend keeps widget state keyed by node identity,
+  and that state survives clearing the graph. A new node that reuses a
+  cleared node's identity inherits its same-named widget values. Core
+  frontend bug, distinct from this suite; the defense below stands
+  regardless of when it is fixed.
+- **Defense**: the suite never reuses a node identity within a browser
+  session: every builder hands out monotonically increasing identities
+  across graph clears.
+- **Answers**: green but broken (a neighbor's leftover value produces a
+  false failure and hides the real store bug).
+
+### G3. Event misattribution races
+
+- **You hit it when**: node A is reported failing, but the error belongs to
+  node B tested just before it, or to a duplicate submission of an earlier
+  graph.
+- **Root cause**: two races over the asynchronous event stream: late
+  arrivals from a previous attempt, and duplicate attempts created by a
+  submission retry erroring under a fresh identity.
+- **Defense**: the positive submission-id match plus the graph-membership
+  filter of section 9, made decisive by G2's never-reuse-identities rule.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs (a misattributed error is
+  noise that erodes trust in every verdict).
+
+### G4. Pack scripts crashing the submission path
+
+- **You hit it when**: an entire pack's execution tier aborts, not just one
+  node.
+- **Root cause**: pack scripts can hook workflow submission and throw on a
+  graph shape they do not expect. Observed example: a video pack's
+  "apply to graph" hook copies its latest file into downstream widget
+  inputs and throws when its output feeds a plain socket while matching
+  files exist; the trigger is content-dependent.
+- **Defense**: submission runs guarded; a throw records as that node's
+  failure, carrying the exception text, so the node names itself instead
+  of aborting the tier. The proven case is also excluded with its
+  mechanism in the exclusion ledger, and remains an upstream-report
+  candidate.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs (uncaught, one crash masks
+  every node queued behind it).
+
+### G5. Two definition dialects
+
+- **You hit it when**: a set of nodes silently never executes: they are
+  classified as needing wires they do not need, so the planner skips them
+  and nothing goes red.
+- **Root cause**: node definitions reach the suite in two dialects (legacy
+  list-form and V2 object-form), and a parser written against one dialect
+  misreads the other. Measured example: 8 nodes of one pack were invisibly
+  unexecuted until the classifier learned the second dialect.
+- **Defense**: each consumer's parser handles both dialects
+  (`declaredShape` for mount, `classifyInput` for execution, the
+  normalizer for wiring; section 4); parser fixtures are copied from a
+  live census of the real corpus so tests cannot self-confirm a parser's
+  assumptions; unknown shapes are excluded with a record, never silently
+  matched (section 6).
+- **Answers**: green but broken (a whole class of nodes was uncovered while
+  the tier stayed green).
+
+### G6. "Must be wired" beats every dialect
+
+- **You hit it when**: an input the pack marked as wire-only is treated as
+  a widget, so the node runs without the wire it requires.
+- **Root cause**: the wire-only flag can appear on any input form; a
+  classifier that checks the form before the flag misreads it.
+- **Defense**: the classifier checks the wire-only flag first, before any
+  form-specific branch; fixtures pin the ordering.
+- **Answers**: green but broken.
+
+### G7. Dropdown pairing semantics
+
+- **You hit it when**: the wiring tier pairs two unrelated dropdowns (a
+  checkpoint list into a scheduler list), a pass that proves nothing, or
+  refuses to pair two dropdowns that differ only in menu order.
+- **Root cause**: a wired dropdown input bypasses its own menu, so the wire
+  contract is set membership of options, not their order. And dropdowns
+  whose options are not statically known cannot prove anything by pairing.
+- **Defense**: dropdowns pair only on identical option SETS
+  (order-insensitive); dropdowns with unknown option lists are excluded
+  from pairing with a record instead of blind-matched.
+- **Answers**: green but broken.
+
+### G8. Environment flips
+
+- **You hit it when**: a node fails on one OS but is clean on another, run
+  to run, with no code change. A subtle variant is the warm-cache
+  illusion: a node that downloads model weights inside execution runs
+  clean only where the cache is already warm.
+- **Root cause**: execution depends on the host, not on the node's
+  frontend contract: numeric-stack differences, codec differences, cached
+  downloads, directory-handling differences.
+- **Defense**: the environment-variable class of execution exclusions,
+  each entry naming its per-host mechanism, reconciled against observation
+  runs on both hosts. The node keeps every non-execution tier.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs (host-dependent flips are
+  flake that trains people to ignore red).
+
+### G9. Queue jams from non-interruptible execution
+
+- **You hit it when**: the execution tier hangs and every node queued
+  BEHIND one offender reports failure.
+- **Root cause**: some execution paths never respond to interrupt:
+  installing packages at runtime, pure-Python infinite loops (observed
+  example: a text-replace node spinning forever on an empty search
+  string), minutes-long per-pixel loops, non-interruptible weight
+  downloads.
+- **Defense**: a timeout interrupts and checks that the queue recovers; a
+  queue that will not drain stops the tier immediately and names the batch
+  as suspects. Triage is explicitly offender-versus-victims, and a
+  preflight asserts the queue is idle before the tier starts. Proven
+  offenders are excluded with their mechanism.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs (a jam failing a whole
+  batch is pure noise; the tripwire converts it into one named offender).
+
+### G10. Renderer effect timing
+
+- **You hit it when**: the persistence tier passes under the canvas
+  renderer but silently tests nothing under the DOM renderer.
+- **Root cause**: DOM-renderer widget components react to creation and
+  reload asynchronously, writing back into the value store on frame
+  boundaries; a synchronous snapshot compares state those reactions never
+  touched.
+- **Defense**: the persistence check is staged with explicit settle points
+  between build, snapshot, reload, and write phases (section 8), and runs once
+  per renderer.
+- **Answers**: green but broken (a synchronous pass certifies a value path
+  it never observed).
+
+### G11. Growable input groups materialize under expanded names
+
+- **You hit it when**: mount completeness reports a declared input missing
+  on a node that uses growable input groups, when the renderer actually
+  materialized it under expanded per-slot names.
+- **Root cause**: growable input groups do not materialize under their
+  declared group name; they expand into per-slot names derived from it.
+- **Defense**: mount expectations accept either the group name or its
+  required expansion; this was the only definition-shape special case
+  found across the full corpus.
+- **Answers**: keeps mount fidelity strict without false-failing
+  group-typed nodes.
+
+### G12. Legal dynamic growth on reload
+
+- **You hit it when**: a node legitimately gains a widget on reload (the
+  application attaches a seed-control widget; a pack appends a
+  value-driven widget) and a naive equality check flags it as a
+  regression.
+- **Root cause**: reload is allowed to APPEND; what must never happen is
+  the inverse: a widget disappearing or a saved value changing.
+- **Defense**: the persistence comparison is asymmetric by design: growth
+  passes, loss or mutation fails; after probe writes, values are compared
+  only where the node's shape stayed stable, because a changed dropdown
+  can legally rebuild a dynamic node.
+- **Answers**: green but broken, from the other side: a check that
+  rejected legal growth would get relaxed into uselessness.
+
+### G13. Mutable-content dropdowns
+
+- **You hit it when**: a file-list node flips between clean and failing
+  across runs, tracking whatever content the backend happens to hold.
+- **Root cause**: some dropdowns populate from mutable backend content
+  (file listings, run history), so their default value and validity change
+  as content changes.
+- **Defense**: the state-dependent class of execution exclusions, with the
+  mechanism on record; where the same dropdown also re-resolves on reload,
+  a scoped persistence exception skips the value comparison while the
+  no-shrink rule still applies. All other tiers are retained.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs.
+
+### G14. Unreliable completion signals
+
+- **You hit it when**: a node reports clean on one run and incomplete on
+  the next with no change to anything.
+- **Root cause**: the per-node "actually ran" signal is reliable for
+  ordinary nodes with caching disabled, but list-expanded and
+  remote-control nodes do not emit it on every run.
+- **Defense**: only nodes with a PROVEN signal flip are excluded from
+  execution, each recorded with the shared mechanism, so an incomplete
+  result stays meaningful everywhere else.
+- **Answers**: tests can never catch random bugs.
+
+## 13. The CI deployment view
+
+In today's implementation, the suite is Playwright driving bundled
+Chromium, and the CI platform is GitHub Actions.
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {"flowchart": {"wrappingWidth": 260}}}%%
+flowchart LR

+```
+
+Fork PRs skip the job (the install loop is a code-execution surface) and
+keep coverage via the main test shards. Sharding is deliberately deferred:
+every shard would pay the full environment setup, which is a large share of
+the job; the workflow states the threshold at which sharding starts paying.
+Ballpark at the time of writing, moving like the scale snapshot: about
+eight minutes of suite on top of about four and a half minutes of
+environment setup, with sharding starting to pay once the whole job
+passes roughly twelve minutes.

+# Detection Proof
+
+How we prove the custom-node regression suite actually catches every failure
+mode it claims to in [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md). The proof is a
+separate, deliberately-red pull request branched off the suite branch: each
+commit breaks one surface on purpose, cites the real regression class it
+recreates, and turns the custom-nodes CI check red at exactly the named tier
+with the named message. (A frontend break may also trip other layers, e.g.
+unit tests - that is layered coverage, not noise.) A green custom-nodes check
+anywhere in that PR would mean the gate failed to catch a regression.
+
+This replaces the earlier ad-hoc "kill-test" name. The verb is **falsify**: we
+falsify each guard by breaking the thing it watches and confirming it fires.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+The suite's value claim is that a frontend PR can no longer silently break a
+widely-installed custom-node pack. That claim is only worth as much as its
+ability to go red on a real break. A green suite proves nothing on its own -
+it could be green because everything works, or green because it checks nothing.
+The Detection Proof PR removes that doubt: it shows, break by break, that every
+tier in ARCHITECTURE.md turns red on the exact class of regression it was built
+to catch, and names the offender in the failure message.
+
+## How to read the proof PR
+
+- **It must never merge.** Every commit is a deliberate break. A reviewer reads
+  it, they do not ship it.
+- **One commit per surface.** Each commit is a single-file change plus a comment
+  naming the historical regression it recreates and the red it should produce.
+  Check out a commit, watch the named CI check go red, read the message, move on.
+- **CI is the source of truth, not a local full run.** The CI job runs the
+  suite against one fresh backend on an unloaded runner, which keeps every
+  execution inside its budget. A local run of the whole
+  suite against a single CPU backend is not reliable for this (see
+  [Honest caveat](#honest-caveat-local-full-runs-and-machine-load)); run CI, or
+  run one pack locally at a time.
+
+## Two protection modes
+
+The gate protects against two distinct things, and the proof covers both:
+
+- **FE-regression** - a change to _this frontend_ breaks installed packs. This
+  is the primary thing the gate guards on every frontend PR. These breaks live
+  in `src/`.
+- **Pack-bug** - a pack itself ships a bug (or a pinned pack is bumped to a
+  broken version). The gate catches these too. CI clones every pack fresh at
+  its pin, so editing pack files in the frontend repo does nothing - the clone
+  overwrites them. Two ways deliver a pack break on CI: (a) point the manifest
+  (`browser_tests/fixtures/data/customNodeManifest.json`) `repo`/`pin` at a
+  broken fork, which is exactly the pinned-bump scenario and the most
+  production-faithful; or (b) a self-contained CI step that patches each cloned
+  pack in place right after install. The proof PR uses (b) - no external repos,
+  and each patch asserts it landed (`grep`, fails the job otherwise) so a silent
+  no-op cannot fake a pass. Both reproduce the same edits captured against a
+  local backend (which is how the exact reds below were captured).
+
+Each row below is labelled with its mode.
+
+## The correlation matrix
+
+Every "Exact red" below is the real message captured when the break was applied
+and the tier was run against a real backend - not a prediction. One scope note:
+for the corpus-derived tiers (rows 4, 6, 9) the named offender and pair list
+are re-derived from `/object_info` each run, so a pin bump can legitimately
+change WHICH pair or node the message names without weakening the catch - the
+promise is the tier and the failure class, not byte-identical offender text
+across pin changes. Sections refer to [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md).

+### Links of various types (surface 4/5 expanded)
+
+"Links of various types" is covered breadth-first: the connectivity tier
+plans one representative typed edge per slot across the whole installed corpus,
+so a single break in the validator (#4) fails a broad, named list of concrete
+pairs - not one hand-picked wire. The drag break (#5) additionally proves the
+_pointer_ path resolves the exact slot. To show breadth explicitly, the proof PR
+can add two more validator mutations, each turning a different link class red:
+
+- Break the COMBO option-vocabulary compare (`vocabOf`) - the committed pure
+  specs (typePairing.pure.spec.ts, same-vocabulary pairing tests) go red;
+  dropdown slots are checked, not just primitive types.
+- Break the wildcard exclusion (`isWildcard`) - the committed pure specs
+  ("wildcard slots are excluded" test) go red; the exclusion is pinned as a
+  design decision, not an accident. Both catches are at the pure-spec layer;
+  whether the live corpus also exercises them per run is not asserted here.
+
+### Execution of various types (surface 6/7/9 expanded)
+
+Three distinct execution break-points, each caught by a different tier:
+
+- **Frontend serialization** (#6) - the value never leaves the browser correctly;
+  caught at submit as a named `VALIDATION_FAIL`.
+- **Load-time hook** (#7) - an extension hook crashes the graph load (the same
+  hook mechanism pack scripts use); caught by the console/pageerror ledger.
+- **Backend runtime** (#9) - the node runs and raises; caught by the auto-run
+  tier's two-way baseline, which isolates each node (single-node re-run) so
+  the failing node names itself; a chain that fails because its synthesized
+  producer raised still carries that producer's name in the backend's error
+  event.
+
+## What is already proven (the falsification pass)
+
+Before writing this plan, every break in the matrix was applied one at a time
+against a real backend and the tier was confirmed to catch and name it. That is
+where the "Exact red" column comes from. Two of those runs also corrected the
+suite itself, and those fixes are already committed on the suite branch:
+
+- **Drag drop-resolution (#5)** was originally a _miss_: the curated drag test
+  only targeted first-slot inputs, and a broken drop resolver falls back to the
+  first compatible input (LinkConnector's drop-on-node path), so such a
+  regression could not fail a first-slot-only pair. Fixed by adding the
+  second-slot anchor (`EmptyImage.IMAGE -> ImageBatch.image2`); the matrix red
+  above is from the fixed test.
+- **Curated-run failure naming (#6)** originally reported `{}` for a backend
+  validation rejection. Fixed by capturing and flattening the backend
+  `node_errors`; the matrix now shows the named nodes and input.
+- **Boot-time console noise** was confirmed out of the ledger's window by
+  design (documented in ARCHITECTURE.md section 10 and README), backstopped by
+  the startup zero-visible-errors check.
+
+## Honest caveat: local full runs and machine load
+
+All tests share ONE backend, locally and on CI alike (the CI job is
+deliberately unsharded), and the suite enforces per-test backend isolation
+itself: every test's
+afterEach drains the backend to idle (`drainBackendToIdle`), the auto-run tier
+waits out a still-draining prior execution instead of hard-failing, and the
+non-executing tiers filter a foreign execution's async console lines
+(`isForeignExecutionNoise`). This fixed the cross-test bleed class outright: a
+test can no longer leave work running for the next test to inherit, and the
+mount/persistence/wiring tiers no longer catch a neighbor's execution errors.
+
+What remains genuinely load-sensitive is execution TIMING, not isolation: on a
+machine that is busy with other work, slow CPU nodes can exceed even the raised
+budgets (20s batch, 60s single re-run), which flips their classification and
+trips the two-way cannotRunAlone baseline. That is the baseline doing its job
+against an environment that changed under it, not a suite defect. Therefore:
+
+- Use **CI** as the pass/fail oracle for the Detection Proof (a fresh backend
+  on an unloaded runner, every run).
+- A local full run is meaningful on an otherwise-idle machine; do not run it
+  concurrently with heavy local work and expect baseline-exact results.
+
+## Building the proof PR
+
+1. Branch off the suite branch: `git checkout -b nathaniel/detection-proof nathaniel/custom-node-e2e-suite`.
+2. One commit per matrix row, each breaking one surface, stacked so all breaks
+   are live at HEAD at once (not reverted between commits - the goal is to see
+   every surface broken together, and the `Tests Custom Nodes` job reds across
+   every tier in one run). FE-mode rows (1-7) are a direct `src/` edit carrying
+   an inline comment in the changed file:
+   `// DETECTION PROOF (row N, surface): recreates <FE-xxx / PR #12279>. Expected: <tier> red <message>.`
+3. Pack-mode rows (8-10) are delivered by one CI step
+   (`DETECTION PROOF - break packs`, on this branch only) that patches each
+   cloned pack in place right after install. Each patch asserts it landed
+   (`grep`, fails the job otherwise) so a silent no-op cannot fake a pass. The
+   step is fenced to this never-merge branch and must never be ported to a real
+   suite branch.
+4. Commit message names the surface, e.g.
+   `detection-proof: break mount (v2 Vue renderer) - drops the int widget mapping`.
+5. Open the PR against the suite branch (not main) with the correlation matrix as
+   the description and a bold header: **This PR must never merge. Every commit is
+   a deliberate break; green would mean the gate missed a regression.**
+6. Let CI run on HEAD. With every break live, the `Tests Custom Nodes` job reds
+   across every tier in one run. Attribute a red to its cause via the labelled
+   comment on the matching `src/` file (rows 1-7) or in the CI break step
+   (rows 8-10); checking out commit N (which contains breaks 1..N) narrows it
+   further.
+7. Iterate until every row's own signature is visible in one run. Stacked
+   breaks mask each other along assert order (the mount test asserts the
+   litegraph pass before the Vue pass; the wiring sweep asserts its console
+   ledger before its pair verdicts; a globally-corrupted prompt fails
+   validation before any node can raise at runtime), so narrow blast radii
+   instead of weakening breaks: rows 1 and 6 are scoped to Impact-prefixed
+   nodes, and row 8 fires in `onExecuted` rather than `onConfigure` (the sweep
+   configures nodes but queues no prompts). A scoped break is still a real
+   bug class - real regressions routinely hit only a subset of nodes. Also
+   budget the job for the broken run: every red retries (3x on CI), so the
+   all-broken run does roughly double a green run's work (the demo branch
+   raises `timeout-minutes` to 90).
+
+### Registry self-heal: why row 2 targets the pipeline, not the registry
+
+The first row 2 variant deleted the `int` entry from `widgetRegistry.ts`, and
+the suite rightly stayed green: `useProcessedWidgets` falls back to
+`WidgetLegacy` when a registry lookup misses, so the widget row still renders
+and the mount count matches (INT/FLOAT widgets are runtime type `number`,
+served by the `float` entry's aliases, so the `int` entry is not even on the
+standard path). The falsification falsified the break, not the suite, and
+documented a real resilience property of the Vue renderer. To make a widget
+row genuinely disappear (the FE-627/FE-634 class), skip it in the
+`useProcessedWidgets` pipeline - the suite catches that immediately.

+# Custom-node regression suite
+
+Proves community custom-node packs work against this frontend across both
+renderers: nodes register, render under LiteGraph (canvas) AND Vue Nodes 2.0
+(DOM), and execute real workflows end to end. Manifest-driven: adding a pack
+is one JSON row, no new test code.
+
+System design, data flow, and the reasoning behind every invariant:
+[ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md). Onboarding a new pack:
+[ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. A ComfyUI backend on `127.0.0.1:8288` with every manifest pack (the
+   `pack` entries in `browser_tests/fixtures/data/customNodeManifest.json`)
+   and ComfyUI_devtools
+   installed. Launch it with `--multi-user` (the repo-wide browser-test
+   prerequisite; the fixture writes per-worker user settings and the suite
+   depends on them landing), `--cache-none` (repeat runs must re-execute
+   every node or the executed-set check fails honestly with `PARTIAL`), and
+   with `browser_tests/assets/plain_video.mp4` copied into its `input/` dir.
+2. The dev server proxying that backend:
+   `DEV_SERVER_COMFYUI_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8288 pnpm dev`
+

+Example - watch the VHS video-decode run step by step:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:custom-nodes:vhs-run
+```
+
+Two windows open: the app under test and the Playwright Inspector. Press F10
+to execute one robot action at a time (workflow loads, queue fires, backend
+decodes the video), F8 to run to the end. While paused, look but do not click
+inside the app window - your clicks change the state the next assertion
+checks.
+
+Any `-g` pattern works against the generic scripts, e.g.
+`pnpm test:custom-nodes:debug -g "Impact-Pack.*T0"`.
+
+## What the tests assert
+
+- **T0 load**: pack nodes are registered in `/object_info`, added to a
+  cleared graph, counted exactly, and each added node's own `[data-node-id]`
+  element mounts under Vue Nodes 2.0. Both renderer passes - unless the pack
+  declares `vueNodesCompatible: false` in the manifest (evidence required;
+  see [ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md)), in which case its tests run their
+  LiteGraph-canvas assertions only. Never a skip. T0 also asserts each
+  pack's declared frontend extensions registered (`expectedExtensions`):
+  backend nodes can appear while the pack's JS silently failed to load.
+- **T1 run**: the manifest workflow is loaded and queued; the backend's
+  `executing` event stream must contain every expected node id, and the run
+  must end in `execution_success`.
+- **Dynamic inputs** (`dynamicInputs.spec.ts`): autogrow nodes (pack JS adds
+  an input when the last one is connected, removes trailing empties on
+  disconnect) grow and shrink correctly, via BOTH a real mouse drag and a
+  programmatic connect, under both renderers, asserted in the graph AND (in
+  the Vue renderer) as a rendered slot row, both directions. This behavior
+  lives in pack JS, not `/object_info`, so no def-driven tier can see it.
+  Curated cases live in the spec's `AUTOGROW_CASES` table.
+- **Every-node tiers** (`allNodes.spec.ts`): the pack's FULL node list,
+  discovered live from `/object_info`, is exercised with zero
+  configuration - every registered node mounts in both renderers (chunked
+  at an empirically measured batch size), survives a serialize/configure
+  save-reload round-trip, and executes for real on the backend when
+  self-sufficient (all required inputs are widgets with valid defaults).
+  Nodes that cannot run alone are classified and logged
+  (`NEEDS_WIRES` / `NEEDS_MODELS` / `NO_OBSERVABLE_OUTPUT` / rejected-at-validation),
+  never silently dropped; the documented exception ledgers (see
+  [ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md)) carry a written mechanism for every
+  escape hatch.
+- **connectivity (contract)**: wiring-only, no execution. A
+  type-pairing generator (`fixtures/customNode/typePairing.ts`) indexes
+  `/object_info` producers/consumers and plans one representative typed edge
+  per slot (wildcard `*` slots excluded - they bypass the real type compare
+  and prove nothing). Each planned edge must connect through the real
+  `isValidConnection` veto, then survive `serialize()` -> `configure()` and
+  appear in `graphToPrompt()` output. A curated subset is additionally
+  dragged for real - slot dot to slot dot - under both renderers. Orphan
+  types (no partner in the corpus) are reported, never fake-failed. One
+  representative edge per slot bounds cost; it does not prove all pairs.
+- **Zero visible errors**: the mount, persistence, connectivity, core
+  smoke, and curated workflow tests assert the app's error surfaces (error
+  overlay, error dialog, node render errors, error toasts) are absent at
+  start and after every pass - green means a human watching those runs sees
+  no errors. Two deliberate exceptions: the auto-run execution tier
+  provokes expected failures (baselined cannotRunAlone nodes surface as
+  real error UI by design), and the self-check inverts the invariant - it
+  forces a real execution error and asserts the overlay IS visible, proving
+  the selectors stay live.
+- **Console-error window**: the console/page-error ledger (curated run,
+  save/reload) starts collecting inside each tier, so it covers the tier's
+  own actions - load, run, wire, save. Pure console noise a pack logs at
+  app boot, before the first tier action, is out of that window by design:
+  the shared app fixture navigates once at setup, so boot output predates
+  any per-pack collector. Boot breakage that MATTERS still fails the gate -
+  the zero-visible-errors check runs at startup and catches any boot error
+  that reaches a visible surface; only invisible, functionally-inert boot
+  console noise (the ledger's whole reason to exist) is out of scope.
+
+## Adding a pack
+
+One manifest row plus one small workflow JSON - no new test code. The
+authoritative step-by-step process (verifying the pack's real node keys,
+authoring the run workflow, the `vueNodesCompatible` evidence rule, what CI
+does with the row) lives in [ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md](ADDING_CUSTOM_NODES.md). Follow it
+exactly; the traps it lists all shipped in real packs.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Pack frontend JS does not load under the Vite dev server.** The dev
+  server's `/extensions` endpoint lists core extensions only, so nodes render
+  vanilla locally even when the backend has the packs installed. CI serves
+  the built frontend from the backend, where every pack's JS loads and can
+  restyle nodes, rebuild widgets, or inject page chrome. Before pushing
+  changes that could interact with pack JS, reproduce CI locally:
+  `pnpm build`, relaunch the backend with `--front-end-root <repo>/dist`,
+  and run the suite with `PLAYWRIGHT_TEST_URL` pointed at the backend.
+- Do not run with `--trace on` against system Chrome
+  (`playwright.chrome.config.ts` pins trace off): the trace recorder crashes
+  pages under the branded Chrome channel and every test reports a bogus 15s
+  timeout.
+- In a git worktree whose `node_modules` is symlinked from another checkout,
+  prefix scripts with `pnpm --config.verify-deps-before-run=false ...` to
+  skip pnpm's auto-install check.
+- First run against a cold dev server can exceed the 15s per-test setup
+  budget while Vite compiles; just run again.

+// Dynamic-input (autogrow) tier: packs whose JS adds an input slot when the
+// last one is connected and removes trailing empties on disconnect. That
+// behavior lives in pack JS (onConnectionsChange overrides), NOT in
+// /object_info - the def declares only the initial slot, so the mount and
+// connectivity tiers are structurally blind to it. This tier asserts the
+// BEHAVIOR: connect -> the node grows; disconnect -> it shrinks back.
+//
+// Both connect paths run on purpose: the drag path and the programmatic
+// path go through different frontend pipelines (pointer -> hit-test ->
+// LinkConnector vs a direct node.connect), and Impact's handler inspects
+// `new Error().stack` (on its disconnect/removal branch), so the two paths
+// can break independently. Both renderers run because a Vue reactivity gap
+// can grow the graph-side array without rendering the new slot row.
+//
+// One curated node per mechanism: every Impact autogrow node shares one
+// onConnectionsChange block, so a second node of the same mechanism adds
+// runtime, not detection. ImpactMakeImageList is the IMAGE-typed member,
+// wireable from the model-free EmptyImage.
+//
+// Disconnect runs single-path (programmatic disconnectInput) on purpose: the

+# 12. Cloud Release Notes Use the ComfyUI Version
+
+Date: 2026-07-13
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+<!-- [Proposed | Accepted | Rejected | Deprecated | Superseded by [ADR-NNNN](NNNN-title.md)] -->
+
+## Context
+
+The release-note system (`releaseStore`) decides whether to surface new-release
+UI — the desktop toast/red-dot and the "what's new" popup — by comparing the
+version of the most recent entry in the `/releases` feed against the version the
+user is currently running.
+
+`currentVersion` sourced that "current version" differently per platform:
+
+- on Cloud, from `system_stats.system.cloud_version`,
+- everywhere else, from `system_stats.system.comfyui_version`.
+
+The `/releases` feed, however, is authored in the docs repo and its entries are
+keyed by **ComfyUI** version for every project, including `project: 'cloud'`.
+There is no separate cloud-versioned feed, and the "learn more" link on every
+release note points at <https://docs.comfy.org/changelog>, which only lists
+ComfyUI versions.
+
+This mismatch broke the feature on Cloud (tracked as **FE-1237**):
+
+- Cloud runs a much higher `cloud_version` (e.g. `0.160.1`) than the ComfyUI
+  version the feed entries carry (e.g. `0.27.1`).
+- The comparison therefore resolved as `0.27.1 < 0.160.1` → "already ahead of
+  the latest release" → the popup's `isLatestVersion` gate never passed and the
+  popup never showed.
+- Analytics confirmed the regression: `release_note` clicks fell from 13.4% of
+  clicks over 90 days to 0% over 30 days, and `cloud_release_note` was
+  effectively never clicked.
+
+Two directions could fix the mismatch:
+
+1. Give Cloud its own cloud-versioned release feed and a cloud changelog page.
+2. Compare against the ComfyUI version on Cloud too, so the running version and
+   the feed entries share the same version namespace.
+
+Option 1 requires infrastructure that does not exist: no cloud changelog page,
+and in current practice a single person maintains the changelog in the docs
+repo using ComfyUI versions, updated after each Cloud deploy completes. A
+cloud-versioned popup would deep-link users to a changelog page that has no
+matching entry, which is more confusing than the version label itself.
+
+## Decision
+
+`currentVersion` always uses `comfyui_version`, on Cloud as well as everywhere
+else. `cloud_version` is no longer consulted for release-note version
+comparisons.
+
+The `/releases` request still sends `project: 'cloud'` on Cloud, so Cloud can
+receive a curated subset of release notes; only the version used for comparison
+changes.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Cloud shows a release note once the running ComfyUI version matches the latest
+  published feed entry — consistent with the practice of updating the changelog
+  after a Cloud deploy lands. Publishing a note for a version Cloud has not yet
+  deployed correctly withholds the popup until the deploy catches up.
+- The popup and its "learn more" link now reference a ComfyUI version that
+  actually exists on the changelog page.
+- `cloud_version` remains available in `system_stats` for other consumers; this
+  decision scopes only to release-note version comparison.
+- If Cloud later wants release notes tied to its own versioning, it would need a
+  cloud-versioned feed **and** a cloud changelog page, at which point this ADR
+  should be revisited.
