Why

Several edits the graph can express were refused with workflow_edit_invalid. This PR fixes those cases:

case this PR
connect/batch addressed a template id (24). The refusal itself listed insert:…:root:node:24 resolved, as set_widget already did
connect to a dynamic combo's link sub-input (speech.audio after set_widget speech=audio, alpha_mode.alpha_mask) connects
number/JSON written to a STRING widget (expression = 800, points_store = {…}) written as text + normalized_value
value written to a forceInput socket (Image Input Switch.boolean) refusal now says connect a source, names PrimitiveBoolean

Not changed here (caller mistakes or other owners): link-driven widget writes, wrong widget names, model files not installed, range errors, VHS positional indices, edge type mismatches, ImpactSwitch input2.

What changes

  • _template_id: connect (both ends), delete_node and set_node_field fall back to the unique insert:<op>:root:node:<id> node when the literal id is absent. A real node with that id still wins. Ids are compared as strings, so 24 and "24" both name a real node "24".
  • _resolve_dynamic_link_input: <selector>.<sub> where the selected option declares <sub> as a link input.
    • Grows that socket. The type is checked against the declared type. A second connect reuses the existing socket.
    • Concurrent connects into the same sub-input converge (one register keyed by its name).
    • The API conversion emits "speech.audio": [src, 0], and validate accepts it.
    • If another option is selected, the refusal names the value: "set_widget speech='audio' first".
  • _string_widget_text: int/float → str, dict/list → JSON text, on non-link STRING ports. A bool is still refused.
  • _link_input_note: the widget-not-found refusal for a link input names the socket type and the primitive node to wire.

Evidence

  • Red→green: tests/comfy_cli/test_edit_contract_connect_cases.py. With the source changes stashed, the new cases fail; all pass with them.
  • Full suite: see latest CI. Known local-only failures: test_http.py::test_an_unloadable_supplement_falls_through_to_the_platform_roots (local cert store) and test_usage_error_envelope[unknown-option-on-a-nested-command], both also fail on main.

Overlaps: #960 changes _connect_impl. This PR only touches the connect() wrapper above it and _resolve_input_target.

Walkthrough

Workflow editing now resolves template IDs and binding names, connects dynamic-combo link inputs, converts supported values for STRING widgets, and provides guidance when a caller targets a link input with a value.

Changes

Workflow edit behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve template node IDs
comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py, tests/comfy_cli/test_edit_contract_connect_cases.py, CHANGELOG.md
connect, set_node_field, and delete_node resolve template IDs and binding names. Existing literal node IDs retain precedence. Tests cover address resolution and unknown names.
Resolve dynamic-combo link inputs
comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py, tests/comfy_cli/test_edit_contract_connect_cases.py, CHANGELOG.md
connect resolves dotted link inputs exposed by the selected dynamic-combo option, checks source types, and reports the selector value required for other options. Tests cover repeated and concurrent connections.
Normalize widget values and explain link inputs
comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py, tests/comfy_cli/test_edit_contract_connect_cases.py, CHANGELOG.md
Numbers and JSON values written to STRING widgets become text and return a normalized_value note. Missing-widget errors identify link inputs and may suggest a matching primitive node.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b3265

A workflow with mismatched saved socket metadata can accept an invalid connection. This is a narrow, detectable issue that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

… text values on STRING widgets

From two days of cloud agent workflow_edit_invalid refusals:

- connect, delete_node and set_node_field resolve a template node id (24) to
  the one insert_workflow-remapped node (insert:...:root:node:24), as
  set_widget already did (21 calls).
- connect reaches a dynamic combo's link sub-input (speech.audio once speech
  is audio), growing the socket the frontend shows; with another option
  selected the refusal names the value to set (23 calls).
- A number or JSON value written to a STRING widget is written as its text
  with a normalized_value warning (set-widget parses values as JSON).
- A value write to a forceInput socket says to connect a source and names the
  primitive node for its type.

Reviewed. The interior-addressing and dynamic-combo link-input work is a nice completion of the connect surface. One finding worth fixing before merge — it's a real CRDT convergence bug, not just a style note:

A dynamic-combo link sub-input doesn't get the single-register LWW treatment, so two concurrent connects can diverge. _resolve_dynamic_link_input's grow dict for a sub-input like speech.audio carries no promoted/single-register marker, so it falls into _apply_connect's multi-slot autogrow branch and _write_target's shared autogrow-base register — both of which skip the LWW gate entirely. Repro: two actors each connect a different AUDIO source to the same node's speech.audio (both having run set_widget speech=audio on their own replica first). Applying opA-then-opB yields speech.audio=linkA, speech.speech0=linkB; applying opB-then-opA yields the reverse — confirmed by direct execution. The two replicas converge to different graphs (different link in the canonical slot, plus a bogus schema-unknown speech.speech0 phantom slot neither the frontend nor server recognize), which breaks the convergence invariant this autogrow/promoted machinery exists to guarantee.

Two smaller ones, lower priority:

  • _template_id (used by connect/delete_node/set_node_field) resolves template ids via _inserted_node_id only, missing the _binding_address (print_workflow binding name) fallback that set_widget's wrapper already applies — so a node addressed by its binding name works for set_widget but not for connect/delete_node/set_node_field, an undocumented inconsistency across the four ops.
  • connect() now calls _template_id on both endpoints (each doing its own linear scan + regex-compiling fallback scan) before _connect_impl scans again — roughly doubling full-workflow scans per call. Noticeable on a large batch of connects over a big template.

…nding names for connect/delete_node/set_node_field

- Two concurrent connects into a not-yet-grown dynamic-combo link input
  (speech.audio) took the autogrow path: the loser was collision-renamed to
  a phantom speech.speech0 and the occupant depended on apply order. The
  grow now carries the promoted marker, which both appliers already key as
  one register on the full name (comfy-cli _write_target; comfy-multi-player
  writeTarget/claimPromotedInput), so both orders converge on one slot.
- connect, delete_node and set_node_field fall back to a print_workflow
  binding name like set_widget does, and connect resolves both endpoints
  with one pass over the node list.

@christian-byrne Thanks. All three points are addressed in 8a7ab1b.

  1. Concurrent connects into a dynamic-combo link sub-input diverge. Confirmed and fixed. _resolve_dynamic_link_input now marks the grow with promoted: true. Both appliers already key that marker as one register on the full name: comfy-cli _write_target / _apply_connect, and comfy-multi-player writeTarget / claimPromotedInput. The register is ("input", to_node, "grow", "speech.audio"), gated by stamp and never collision-renamed.
    • Test: test_concurrent_connects_into_one_dynamic_link_input_converge uses your repro (two actors, two AUDIO sources, both orders). It asserts identical canonical() and a single speech.audio slot with one link. Before the fix it failed with ['speech.audio', 'speech.speech0'].
    • Cross-applier check: I ran the same CLI-minted ops in both orders through comfy-multi-player's mint → applyOps → project on current main. Both orders project identical graphs, and the TalkingPhoto inputs match the CLI's result. As a control, the same ops without the marker reproduce the speech.speech0 phantom in the TS applier too. So no doc-host change is needed for this case, and this closes it for Concurrent connects into a not-yet-grown socket: make grown sockets name-keyed LWW (paired with comfy-cli) comfy-multi-player#271.
  2. Binding names in _template_id. connect, delete_node and set_node_field now fall back to a print_workflow binding name, the way set_widget does. The order is: the literal id, then the unique inserted template id, then the binding name. A numeric id/path or insert: id never pays for a render. Tests: TestBindingNames has one test per op plus an unknown-name case that still lists the nodes. The three per-op tests failed before.
  3. Doubled scans in connect. Both endpoints are now resolved with one pass over the node list (_template_ids). The regex and binding fallbacks run only for an endpoint that isn't present literally. There's no behaviour change; the existing TemplateIds tests pass unchanged.

The full suite passes (8602; the one excluded test depends on the local macOS cert store), and ruff is clean. Re-requesting your review.

… one name-keyed register

A reconnect to an existing speech.audio socket resolved to a concrete
to_slot, claiming ("input", node, idx), while a concurrent first connect's
grow claimed ("input", node, "grow", "speech.audio"). The occupant then
depended on apply order in both comfy-cli and comfy-multi-player. An
existing dynamic-combo link sub-input (by name or index) now resolves to
the same promoted grow plan; both appliers reuse the entry by name.

A canvas with a real node "24" (string) and an insert:…:root:node:24
template node resolved connect(24) to the inserted node, because the
literal-id check compared raw values while _find_by_str compares
strings. Compare as str() and return the node's own id so the real node
wins, as documented.

Rename the edit-contract test module to a neutral name and reword its
docstrings.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate type mismatches for existing dynamic links.

If a materialized speech.audio slot has saved type IMAGE while the selected option declares AUDIO, _resolve_dynamic_link_input rejects an IMAGE source. This catch then falls back to the concrete slot and validates against saved IMAGE, so connect can create an invalid link. Validation can reject the mismatch later, but the edit has already produced invalid workflow state.

Only use the concrete fallback when the dotted input is stale and is not exposed by the selected option. Keep stale slots stale, but do not let a bad type slip by.

…fallback

connect into an existing speech.audio slot whose saved type drifted fell
back to the concrete slot when the selected option's declared type
refused the source, so an IMAGE source could wire into an AUDIO
sub-input. Raise a distinct _DynamicLinkTypeMismatch and let it through
both fallbacks; an unselected (stale) sub-input still stays concrete.

@coderabbitai Re the outside-diff note on workflow_ops.py:3235-3238 (type mismatches for existing dynamic links): confirmed and fixed in 7eaaf3b. The resolver now raises _DynamicLinkTypeMismatch, which passes through both fallbacks; an unselected sub-input still falls back to the concrete slot. Regression test: test_an_existing_socket_still_checks_the_declared_type.

@skishore23 Thanks. Code inspection confirms that _DynamicLinkTypeMismatch propagates through both fallbacks in _resolve_input_target. An unselected sub-input still falls back to its concrete slot.

The regression test covers an existing speech.audio socket whose saved type drifted to IMAGE. It checks that an IMAGE source is rejected against the declared AUDIO type. I did not run the test.

This addresses the outside-diff finding.

Learning: In Comfy-Org/comfy-cli, comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py must emit a promoted grow plan for every connect to a selected dynamic-combo link sub-input, including existing sockets addressed by name or index. This keeps first connects and reconnects on the same ("input", node, "grow", full_input_name) LWW register. Both comfy-cli and comfy-multi-player already reuse promoted entries by name, so this wire shape needs no doc-host change. A stale socket whose option is no longer selected retains concrete-slot behavior.

Re-reviewed after the fix. The CRDT convergence bug is genuinely fixed: _resolve_dynamic_link_input now returns promoted: True for a dynamic-combo link sub-input, and _apply_connect routes it through the LWW gate by name instead of the shared autogrow-base register — so two concurrent connects to the same sub-input now contend for the same register instead of diverging into different graphs. The new test (test_concurrent_connects_into_one_dynamic_link_input_converge) applies both orders and asserts they converge to the same canonical graph — a real proof, not just a happy-path check.

Both smaller notes are also fixed: _template_ids is a single-pass lookup now (no more doubled scan), and it picks up the binding-name fallback that connect/delete_node/set_node_field were missing relative to set_widget.

CI is green. Approving — merge authority stays with a human per the comfy-cli review policy, so leaving this for you or Hunter to merge.
