Johnpaul Chiwetelu 890ab2019f feat: add Update ComfyUI option to Help Center for non-desktop environments (#7578)
## Summary

- Adds "Update ComfyUI" menu item to Help Center for portable/localhost
environments
- Wires existing `/v2/manager/queue/update_comfyui` endpoint to the
frontend
- Only visible in non-desktop, non-cloud distributions (where Electron
update mechanism isn't available)

## Changes

1. **Service layer**: Added `updateComfyUI()` method to
`comfyManagerService.ts`
2. **UI**: Added menu item with download icon to
`HelpCenterMenuContent.vue`
3. **i18n**: Added translation key for the new menu item

## Context

The new Manager UI (v4) lost the ability to update ComfyUI core in
non-desktop environments. This restores that functionality by
integrating the existing manager endpoint into the Help Center menu.

## Test plan

- [ ] Verify menu item appears in portable/localhost environments
- [ ] Verify menu item does NOT appear in desktop (Electron)
environments
- [ ] Verify menu item does NOT appear in cloud environments
- [ ] Test clicking the menu item triggers update and reboot

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 a mixed approach to unit test organization:

  • Component Tests: Located directly alongside their components with a .spec.ts extension
  • Unit Tests: Located in the tests-ui/tests/ directory
  • Store Tests: Located in the tests-ui/tests/store/ directory
  • Browser Tests: These are located in the browser_tests/ directory. There is a dedicated README in the browser_tests/ directory, so it will not be covered here.

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 unit tests in watch mode
pnpm test:unit:dev

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