Alexander Brown 41ffb7c627 feat: add polling fallback for stale asset downloads (#7926)
## Summary

Adds a polling fallback mechanism to recover from dropped WebSocket
messages during model downloads.

## Problem

When downloading models via the asset download service, status updates
are received over WebSocket. Sometimes these messages are dropped
(network issues, reconnection, etc.), causing downloads to appear
"stuck" even when they've completed on the backend.

## Solution

Periodically poll for stale downloads using the existing REST API:

- Track `lastUpdate` timestamp on each download
- Downloads without updates for 10s are considered "stale"
- Poll stale downloads every 10s via `GET /tasks/{task_id}` to check if
the asset exists
- If the asset exists with size > 0, mark the download as completed

## Implementation

- Added `lastUpdate` field to `AssetDownload` interface
- Use VueUse's `useIntervalFn` with a `watch` to auto start/stop polling
based on active downloads
- Reuse existing `handleAssetDownload` for completion (synthetic event)
- Added 9 unit tests covering the polling behavior

## Testing

- All existing tests pass
- New tests cover:
  - Basic download tracking
  - Completion/failure handling  
  - Duplicate message prevention
  - Stale download polling
  - Polling error handling

ComfyUI Frontend Testing Guide

This guide provides an overview of testing approaches used in the ComfyUI Frontend codebase. These guides are meant to document any particularities or nuances of writing tests in this codebase, rather than being a comprehensive guide to testing in general. By reading these guides first, you may save yourself some time when encountering issues.

Testing Documentation

Documentation for unit tests is organized into three guides:

Testing Structure

The ComfyUI Frontend project uses colocated tests - test files are placed alongside their source files:

  • Component Tests: Located directly alongside their components (e.g., MyComponent.test.ts next to MyComponent.vue)
  • Unit Tests: Located alongside their source files (e.g., myUtil.test.ts next to myUtil.ts)
  • Store Tests: Located in src/stores/ alongside their store files
  • Browser Tests: Located in the browser_tests/ directory (see dedicated README there)

Test File Naming

  • Use .test.ts extension for test files
  • Name tests after their source file: sourceFile.test.ts

Test Frameworks and Libraries

Our tests use the following frameworks and libraries:

Getting Started

To run the tests locally:

# Run unit tests
pnpm test:unit

# Run a specific test file
pnpm test:unit -- src/path/to/file.test.ts

# Run unit tests in watch mode  
pnpm test:unit -- --watch

Refer to the specific guides for more detailed information on each testing type.
