## Summary
Two fixes for the cloud LoadImage form dropdown:
1. **Cloud root-cause fix** — outputs now come from a single
`getAssetsByTag('output')` call instead of walking the jobs API and
per-job `resolveOutputAssetItems` detail fetches. Per Christian's [Slack
feedback](https://comfy-organization.slack.com/archives/C0A4XMHANP3/p1778051260476369?thread_ts=1776716352.588229&cid=C0A4XMHANP3):
*"on cloud, we can just grab the assets with a single GET, filtering
with input or output tag."* Sidebar's job-stack UX is untouched.
2. **Local / defense-in-depth** — even when the watch+expansion path is
in play (still used by local), batch all in-flight
`resolveOutputAssetItems` for the current `media` snapshot via
`Promise.all`, committing once into `resolvedByJobId`. This kills the
progressive head-shift symptom even on the legacy path.
The first attempt at (1) (`6a1a083c9`, reverted in `c175962e8`) broke
select+load on cloud prod because the dropdown wrote `asset.name` (human
filename) into the widget value, but cloud's `/api/view` resolves output
files by **`asset_hash`** (the blake3-keyed filename). Verified against
cloud prod that every output row carries `asset_hash` and that cloud's
own `preview_url` is hash-keyed, not name-keyed. Re-introduced in
`d7693377` with the dropdown value derived from `asset.asset_hash ||
asset.name`, with the human filename retained as the display label.
- Fixes FE-227
## Cloud / local divergence — what this PR clarifies
| | input | output (this PR) |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
-------------------------------------------------------- |
| **cloud** | `getAssetsByTag('input')` (already correct) |
**`getAssetsByTag('output')` (new)** |
| **local** | `/files/input` (FS-listing) | `getHistory` + per-job
expansion (unchanged) |
Both directions are now symmetric on cloud: tag-based listing,
hash-keyed values. Local stays on the legacy path because core ComfyUI
doesn't have the assets/tags model — that's the deeper convergence
Jacob/Luke flagged in the FE-556 thread (now BE-757), which is BE/Core
work and not this PR.
## Red-Green verification
| Commit | CI: Tests Unit | Purpose |
|--------|----------------|---------|
| `3e8d42e7` test | 🔴 [failure
(25413987208)](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/actions/runs/25413987208)
| Asserts the head of the list does not shift while one of two
multi-output jobs is still resolving. |
| `fe2608d4` fix (atomic batch) | 🟢 [success
(25414246791)](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/actions/runs/25414246791)
| Resolutions awaited via `Promise.all` and merged in one
`resolvedByJobId` update. |
| `6a1a083c` simplification (broken) | — | First attempt — used
`asset.name`, broke select+load on cloud prod. |
| `c175962e` revert | — | Rolled back the broken simplification while
diagnosis was in flight. |
| `d7693377` simplification (fixed) | pending | Re-introduces
`useFlatOutputAssets` and uses `asset.asset_hash` for the dropdown
value. Adds 7 unit tests covering hash-as-value, name-fallback,
pagination, dedupe, and error path. |

## Test plan
- [x] New `useFlatOutputAssets.test.ts` — 7 tests for tag-based
fetching, pagination, dedupe, error path.
- [x] `useWidgetSelectItems.test.ts` — atomic-batching regression test +
new tests asserting hash-as-value and local name-fallback. 35 tests
pass.
- [x] `WidgetSelectDropdown.test.ts` — 5 tests pass with the new
conditional source.
- [x] CI red on test-only commit, CI green on first fix commit.
- [ ] CI green on the simplification (re-introduce) commit.
- [ ] Manual verification on cloud build: open LoadImage → switch to
Outputs → scroll → list head stays stable; select an output → LoadImage
preview loads (was broken in `6a1a083c`, restored in `d7693377`).
Release Schedule
The project follows a structured release process for each minor version, consisting of three distinct phases:
-
Development Phase - 2 weeks
- Active development of new features
- Code changes merged to the development branch
-
Feature Freeze - 2 weeks
- No new features accepted
- Only bug fixes are cherry-picked to the release branch
- Testing and stabilization of the codebase
-
Publication
- Release is published at the end of the freeze period
- Version is finalized and made available to all users
Nightly Releases
Nightly releases are published daily at https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/releases.
To use the latest nightly release, add the following command line argument to your ComfyUI launch script:
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@latest
Overlapping Release Cycles
The development of successive minor versions overlaps. For example, while version 1.1 is in feature freeze, development for version 1.2 begins simultaneously. Each feature has approximately 4 weeks from merge to ComfyUI stable release (2 weeks on main, 2 weeks frozen on RC).
Example Release Cycle
| Week | Date Range | Version 1.1 | Version 1.2 | Version 1.3 | Patch Releases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Mar 1-14 | Development | - | - | - |
| 3-4 | Mar 15-28 | Feature Freeze | Development | - | 1.1.0 through 1.1.13 (daily) |
| 5-6 | Mar 29-Apr 11 | Released | Feature Freeze | Development | 1.1.14+ (daily) 1.2.0 through 1.2.13 (daily) |
| 7-8 | Apr 12-25 | - | Released | Feature Freeze | 1.2.14+ (daily) 1.3.0 through 1.3.13 (daily) |

We will support custom icons later.
v1.10.9: Selection Toolbox API
Extensions can register commands that appear in the selection toolbox when specific items are selected on the canvas.
app.registerExtension({
name: 'TestExtension1',
commands: [
{
id: 'test.selection.command',
label: 'Test Command',
icon: 'pi pi-star',
