jaeone94 a8d23275d9 fix: prevent subgraph node position corruption during graph transitions (#10828)
## Summary

Fix subgraph internal node positions being permanently corrupted when
entering a subgraph after a draft workflow reload. The corruption
accumulated across page refreshes, causing nodes to progressively drift
apart or compress together.

## Changes

- **What**: In the `ResizeObserver` callback
(`useVueNodeResizeTracking.ts`), node positions are now read from the
Layout Store (source of truth, initialized from LiteGraph) instead of
reverse-converting DOM screen coordinates via `getBoundingClientRect()`
+ `clientPosToCanvasPos()`. The fallback to DOM-based conversion is
retained only for nodes not yet present in the Layout Store.

## Root Cause

`ResizeObserver` was using `getBoundingClientRect()` to get DOM element
positions, then converting them to canvas coordinates via
`clientPosToCanvasPos()`. This conversion depends on the current
`canvas.ds.scale` and `canvas.ds.offset`.

During graph transitions (e.g., entering a subgraph from a draft-loaded
workflow), the canvas viewport was stale — it still had the **parent
graph's zoom level** because `fitView()` hadn't run yet (it's scheduled
via `requestAnimationFrame`). The `ResizeObserver` callback fired before
`fitView`, converting DOM positions using the wrong scale/offset, and
writing the corrupted positions to the Layout Store. The `useLayoutSync`
writeback then permanently overwrote the LiteGraph node positions.

The corruption accumulated across sessions:
1. Load workflow → enter subgraph → `ResizeObserver` writes corrupted
positions
2. Draft auto-saves the corrupted positions to localStorage
3. Page refresh → draft loads with corrupted positions → enter subgraph
→ positions corrupted further
4. Each cycle amplifies the drift based on the parent graph's zoom level

This is the same class of bug that PR #9121 fixed for **slot** positions
— the DOM→canvas coordinate conversion is inherently fragile during
viewport transitions. This PR applies the same principle to **node**
positions.

## Why This Only Affects `main` (No Backport Needed)

This bug requires two features that only exist on `main`, not on
`core/1.41` or `core/1.42`:

1. **PR #10247** changed `subgraphNavigationStore`'s watcher to `flush:
'sync'` and added `requestAnimationFrame(fitView)` on viewport cache
miss. This creates the timing window where `ResizeObserver` fires before
`fitView` corrects the canvas scale.
2. **PR #6811** added hash-based subgraph auto-entry on page load, which
triggers graph transitions during the draft reload flow.

On 1.41/1.42, `restoreViewport` does nothing on cache miss (no `fitView`
scheduling), and the watcher uses default async flush — so the
`ResizeObserver` never runs with a stale viewport.

## Review Focus

- The core change is small: use `nodeLayout.position` (already in the
Layout Store from `initializeFromLiteGraph`) instead of computing
position from `getBoundingClientRect()`. This eliminates the dependency
on canvas scale/offset being up-to-date during `ResizeObserver`
callbacks.
- The fallback path (`getBoundingClientRect` → `clientPosToCanvasPos`)
is retained for nodes not yet in the Layout Store (e.g., first render of
a newly created node). At that point the canvas transform is stable, so
the conversion is safe.
- Unit tests updated to reflect that position is no longer overwritten
from DOM when Layout Store already has the position.
- E2E test added: load subgraph workflow → enter subgraph → reload
(draft) → verify positions preserved.

## E2E Test Fixes

- `subgraphDraftPositions.spec.ts`: replaced `comfyPage.setup({
clearStorage: false })` with `page.reload()` + explicit draft
persistence polling. The `setup()` method performs a full navigation via
`goto()` which bypassed the draft auto-load flow.
- `SubgraphHelper.packAllInteriorNodes`: replaced `canvas.click()` with
`dispatchEvent('pointerdown'/'pointerup')`. The position fix places
subgraph nodes at their correct locations, which now overlap with DOM
widget textareas that intercept pointer events.

## Test Plan

- [x] Unit tests pass (`useVueNodeResizeTracking.test.ts`)
- [x] E2E test: `subgraphDraftPositions.spec.ts` — draft reload
preserves subgraph node positions
- [x] Manual: load workflow with subgraph, zoom in/out on root graph,
enter subgraph, verify no position drift
- [x] Manual: repeat with page refresh (draft reload) — positions should
be stable across reloads
- [x] Manual: drag nodes inside subgraph — positions should update
correctly
- [x] Manual: create new node inside subgraph — position should be set
correctly (fallback path)

Release Schedule

The project follows a structured release process for each minor version, consisting of three distinct phases:

  1. Development Phase - 2 weeks

    • Active development of new features
    • Code changes merged to the development branch
  2. Feature Freeze - 2 weeks

    • No new features accepted
    • Only bug fixes are cherry-picked to the release branch
    • Testing and stabilization of the codebase
  3. 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)
