Every comfy call that touched the node catalog parsed the annotation YAML twice: once in load_annotation_bytes (the cache-read validators run yaml.safe_load) and again in Graph.annotate. The pair cache is now trusted as written, and the parse result is stored as JSON keyed by the YAML bytes' digest.

Warm _try_default_annotations on the cloud catalog (3698 classes): 27.7 ms -> 0.6 ms.

Cache dir: COMFY_CACHE_DIR > $XDG_CACHE_HOME/comfy-cli > ~/.cache/comfy-cli
Files:
  object_info-<sha256(base_url)[:16]>.json              (unchanged)
  comfy-complete/annotations.json                        (unchanged, raw YAML pair)
  comfy-complete/annotations-parsed-v1-<sha256(sup\0dis)[:16]>.json   (new, ~44 KB)
Invalidation: key is the annotation bytes' sha; v<N> bumps when the parse output shape changes.
Newest-only: writing a new parsed file deletes its siblings.
COMFY_NO_CACHE=1 skips the parsed cache. Cloud cli-runner sidecar: set COMFY_CACHE_DIR to a persistent path.
Dropped the pickled Graph: see BE-9173 comment with measurements.

One file_utils.cache_dir() replaces six copies of the XDG lookup (cql/loader, cql/annotations_source, knowledge, command/outdated, command/templates x2). On-disk paths are unchanged when COMFY_CACHE_DIR is unset.

Verification

  • ruff check . and ruff format --check . clean on ruff 0.15.15.
  • pytest: 6164 passed. Two failures are local-environment only (build_not_signed_in login state, one colour-detection test) and pre-date this branch.
  • grep -rn XDG_CACHE_HOME comfy_cli/ matches only file_utils.py.
  • COMFY_CACHE_DIR=<tmp> comfy --json nodes show KSampler writes both cache files under <tmp>/comfy-complete/.

Graph.annotate re-parsed both annotation YAML documents on every call,
and _read_cached_pair parsed them again just to validate our own cache
file. The parse result is now stored as
comfy-complete/annotations-parsed-v1-<sha256(sup\0dis)[:16]>.json and
read back with json.loads; the pair cache is trusted as written since
_persist_pair only commits validated bodies. Warm
_try_default_annotations on the cloud catalog: 27.7 ms -> 0.6 ms.

COMFY_CACHE_DIR now overrides the cache root for every cache
(object_info, annotations, knowledge, gallery, outdated) via one
file_utils.cache_dir() helper replacing six copies of the XDG lookup.
COMFY_NO_CACHE=1 skips the parsed-annotation cache only.

_read_parsed converted disable_labels to a set outside its try block and
never checked node_labels values, so a hand-edited cache file could raise
out of Graph.annotate. _write_parsed built its JSON outside the try, so a
validator-passing body with a date pack name or mixed-type labels raised
TypeError instead of skipping the write. Both paths now treat those as a
miss or a skipped write.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 41f27

The change adds a parsed annotation cache that can bypass existing raw-data validation on cache hits, which could allow invalid annotation data to be used. The PR is otherwise mergeable, with explicit owner follow-up needed to preserve validation guarantees.

Nice perf win and the cache_dir() consolidation is welcome. One high-severity regression is holding approval; three non-blocking notes below.

1. (high) The pair cache is served without validation, which reintroduces the bug test_poisoned_cache_is_ignored_in_favour_of_bundled guarded against. _read_cached_pair (annotations_source.py:396) now accepts any schema-1 entry whose bodies are strings. parse_supported_nodes/parse_disable_config (engine.py:754-785) swallow every parse exception into ({}, {})/set(), so a schema-matching annotations.json with non-YAML bodies (hand edit — comfy nodes refresh prints the path — or a pre-seeded sidecar file now that COMFY_CACHE_DIR makes the location explicit) silently blanks every node's pack/labels/cloud_disabled for the whole TTL, indefinitely offline, and _write_parsed then persists that blank triple keyed by the garbage digest. The deleted test's docstring describes exactly this failure; the docstring's remaining "never a silent blank annotation" claim (:371) is no longer true. Fix that keeps the perf win: validate the pair only on the parsed-cache miss path (once per generation), and never persist a parse that yielded blank from non-empty bytes — treat it as an unusable cache and fall through to bundled. Please restore a test at the load_annotation_bytes level with GARBAGE bodies.

Non-blocking:

2. cache_dir() uses pathlib.Path(...).expanduser(), which raises RuntimeError("Could not determine home directory") for COMFY_CACHE_DIR=~nosuchuser/... (or ~/... with HOME unset and the uid absent from passwd) — reproduced. None of the consumers catch RuntimeError, so comfy nodes ls / outdated / templates traceback instead of falling through. The call sites this replaced used os.path.expanduser, which never raises; use that here (and .resolve() while at it, so a relative COMFY_CACHE_DIR doesn't make every cache cwd-dependent and doesn't hand a relative cwd to templates._refresh_cwd's detached child).

3. _write_parsed globs and unlinks every annotations-parsed-*.json before atomic_write_text. A failed write leaves the dir empty, and a concurrent reader between the unlink and os.replace gets a spurious miss. Write path first, then unlink siblings != path.

4. COMFY_NO_CACHE sounds like a whole-subsystem switch (cf. COMFY_NO_WATCH, COMFY_NO_TELEMETRY) but only skips the parsed-annotation JSON; object_info, the annotation pair, gallery, outdated and knowledge caches ignore it. An agent running COMFY_NO_CACHE=1 comfy nodes ls after installing a pack still gets the stale object_info dump. Either scope the name (COMFY_NO_ANNOTATION_CACHE) or honour it in every cache_dir() consumer — and document both new vars in the README next to COMFY_KNOWLEDGE_DISABLE.

Ran tests/comfy_cli/cql, test_file_utils, test_knowledge on the branch: 478 passed, ruff clean — #1 isn't caught precisely because its test was removed.

…color

Cache correctness:
- Restore YAML validation on the raw annotation pair cache, but only the
  first time a given byte-pair is seen (gated on the parsed-annotation
  cache's digest file already existing) so a hand-edited or corrupted
  annotations.json can't silently blank every node's labels for a TTL
  window, while the hot path stays free of repeat yaml.safe_load calls.
- Reject non-str leaf values when reading the parsed-annotation cache
  (previously an unhashable list could reach `label in disable_labels`
  and raise), and cap/harden both cache reads against an oversized or
  deeply-nested planted file (RecursionError, size cap).
- Skip persisting a parsed result with non-str dict keys, since
  json.dumps silently coerces them and a cache hit would then disagree
  with the miss that produced it.
- Write the parsed-cache file before evicting siblings instead of after,
  so a failed write can't leave the cache dir empty.

cache_dir():
- Use os.path.expanduser (never raises) instead of pathlib's expanduser
  (raises when the home dir can't be resolved), and make the result
  absolute so a relative COMFY_CACHE_DIR doesn't resolve differently in
  every process. templates.py's detached background refresher now pins
  its child to the parent's already-resolved cache dir instead of
  inheriting a possibly-relative value into a child whose cwd sits
  inside that same directory.

Tests:
- neutralize FORCE_COLOR/NO_COLOR/CLICOLOR* for the whole suite (a shell
  exporting these for nicer everyday output was making pretty-mode
  assertions fail non-deterministically locally; CI is unaffected since
  it doesn't set them).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat parsed-cache existence as raw-pair validation.

parsed_annotations() writes a parsed-cache file for arbitrary non-empty input bytes. It does not require _VALIDATORS to pass. If annotations.json contains invalid bytes and a caller first invokes parsed_annotations() with the same bytes, Line 408 skips validation and _read_cached_pair() returns the poisoned pair. load_annotation_bytes() then misses the bundled fallback and can return empty node annotations.

Store an explicit raw-validation marker only after both validators pass, or retain validation for this path. Add a regression that calls parsed_annotations(GARBAGE, VALID_DIS) before reading the matching raw-pair cache.

@skishore23 thanks for the review — fixed in ac6ecfd:

  1. (high) Pair cache trusted without validation_read_cached_pair now re-runs the YAML validators, but only the first time a given byte-pair is seen. The gate is whether the parsed-annotation cache already has a digest file for those exact bytes; that file only exists if the pair previously parsed clean, so it's proof the bytes are good. A poisoned or hand-edited annotations.json gets a new digest and is caught immediately, falling through to bundled — same guarantee as before this PR. Once a pair is vouched for, repeat reads stay free of yaml.safe_load, so the perf win holds. Restored a test_poisoned_cache_is_ignored_in_favour_of_bundled-equivalent test, plus one that fails if the hot path ever re-parses YAML once vouched for.

  2. cache_dir() RuntimeError / cwd-dependent relative paths — switched from pathlib.Path.expanduser() to os.path.expanduser() (never raises) and made the result absolute via os.path.abspath. Also fixed the concrete bug this caused: templates.py's detached background refresher now passes its own already-resolved cache_dir() into the child's env instead of letting the child re-resolve a possibly-relative COMFY_CACHE_DIR against its own (different) cwd.

  3. _write_parsed evicts siblings before writing — reordered to write the new file first, then evict old siblings, so a failed write can no longer leave the cache dir empty.

  4. COMFY_NO_CACHE naming/scope — left as-is for now. Renaming or widening its scope felt like a bigger call than a review-fix pass, and the docstring already documents it as narrow. Open to revisiting if you'd rather it change now.

Also picked up two related hardening issues CodeRabbit/cursor-review flagged on the same lines: leaf-type validation on the parsed-annotation cache (a corrupted-but-valid-JSON file could otherwise hand back a non-str label and crash Graph.annotate), and a size cap + RecursionError guard on both cache reads (the annotations.json path isn't digest-derived, so it's a fixed, plantable path).

Full suite green: 6177 passed, 1 pre-existing local-only failure (not signed in to comfy cloud on this machine) unrelated to any of this.

annehe9 and others added 2 commits August 28, 2026 12:59
tests/conftest.py (added for the FORCE_COLOR fix) had no tests/__init__.py
above it, so pytest inserted tests/ itself onto sys.path[0]. Since
tests/comfy_cli/ shares the real comfy_cli package's name, that let
tests/comfy_cli/output/__init__.py shadow the real comfy_cli.output in a
narrow single-file pytest invocation, breaking the GPU-runner CI job with
"ImportError: cannot import name 'rprint' from 'comfy_cli.output'".

An empty tests/__init__.py makes pytest's insertion point the repo root
instead, where the real comfy_cli/ package already lives correctly.
