skill(comfyui): add template-integrity reference from @purzbeats (#25828)

Adds references/template-integrity.md covering safe conversion of the
official comfyui-workflow-templates package from editor format to API
format — Reroute bypass via link tracing, dotted dynamic-input keys
(values.a, resize_type.width) that must NOT be flattened, server-error
"patch don't rebuild" loop, Cloud quirks (302 redirect to signed GCS
URL, free-tier 1 concurrent job, 1920x1080 OOM on RTX 5090), and a
Discord-compatible ffmpeg stitch recipe (yuv420p + xfade/acrossfade).

SKILL.md lists the new reference so the agent loads it when starting
from an official template. purzbeats added to author list and to
scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.

# ComfyUI Workflow-Template Integrity
> **Authored by [@purzbeats](https://github.com/purzbeats)** — adapted from
> [purzbeats/hermes-agent-comfyui-helper](https://github.com/purzbeats/hermes-agent-comfyui-helper).
> Use this reference when converting workflows from the official
> `comfyui-workflow-templates` package (editor format) into API format for
> submission via `/api/prompt`. The conversion has subtle gotchas that cause
> hard-to-diagnose validation errors if you don't follow these rules.
## Background
The official ComfyUI template package (`comfyui-workflow-templates`, currently
v0.9.69) is installed inside the ComfyUI venv at a path like:
```
<comfy-install>/.venv/lib/python3.*/site-packages/comfyui_workflow_templates_*/templates/
```
The exact path depends on how ComfyUI was installed (comfy-cli default,
Comfy Desktop, manual venv, etc.). Find it once with:
```bash
comfy --workspace <ws> run-python -c "import comfyui_workflow_templates, pathlib; print(pathlib.Path(comfyui_workflow_templates.__file__).parent / 'templates')"
```
Templates ship in **editor format**`nodes` / `links` arrays inside
`data['definitions']['subgraphs'][0]`. They must be converted to **API
format** (a `node_id -> {class_type, inputs}` mapping) before submission.
---
## RULE #1: Use templates AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE
- **Never strip, simplify, or "minimize" nodes** from a template.
- Full template architecture (dual-pass pipelines, LoRA chains, distilled
sigmas, conditioning paths) is intentional — removing any part breaks quality.
- If an image-dependent path exists but the task is text-to-video, **leave
it wired with the bypass toggle enabled** — don't remove the nodes.
- Only change: prompt text, seed, and dimensions (when explicitly requested).
## RULE #2: Server validation errors are the source of truth
When a workflow submission fails, the server response looks like:
```json
{
"node_errors": {
"238": {
"errors": [{
"message": "Required input is missing",
"details": "width",
"extra_info": { "input_name": "resize_type.width" }
}]
}
}
}
```
**The `extra_info.input_name` field tells you EXACTLY what JSON key the server
wants. Use it literally.** If it says `"values.a"` or `"resize_type.width"`,
those are the actual key names in the JSON object. Do not "simplify" them to
flat names based on assumptions about what the field "should" be called.
## RULE #3: Don't rebuild from scratch — patch the failing nodes
Every regeneration from the template reintroduces the same bugs. Instead:
1. Submit the workflow once.
2. Read the server error details for exact key names.
3. Use targeted patch/fix calls against the workflow file on disk.
4. Resubmit and check if errors resolved.
---
## Reroute nodes: bypass, don't delete
Most servers (local, Cloud) don't have a `Reroute` node type. When converting
a template:
1. Find what feeds into the Reroute by looking at links where
`target_id` = the Reroute node ID.
2. Replace all inputs referencing the Reroute with
`[source_node_id, source_slot]`.
3. Delete the Reroute node from the API mapping.
**Real example — LTX 2.3 t2v template:**
- Reroute node 255 receives VAE from `CheckpointLoaderSimple 236` slot 2.
- Three nodes reference Reroute 255 for their VAE input:
`LTXVImgToVideoInplace` (230), `LTXVLatentUpsampler` (253),
`VAEDecodeTiled` (251).
- Fix: replace all occurrences of `vae: ["255", 0]` with `vae: ["236", 2]`.
- `CheckpointLoaderSimple` slot 2 = VAE (not slot 0 = MODEL).
| | |
|---|---|
| ❌ Wrong | `vae: ["236", 0]``MODELV mismatch input_type(VAE)` |
| ✅ Correct | `vae: ["236", 2]` |

## Dynamic template nodes: dotted key names are correct
### ComfyMathExpression (COMFY_AUTOGROW_V3)
```json
{
"class_type": "ComfyMathExpression",
"inputs": {
"expression": "a/2",
"values.a": ["257", 0]
}
}
```
- `values` is a `COMFY_AUTOGROW_V3` template.
- Input names in links are `values.a`, `values.b`, etc.
- **Keep the dotted format as JSON keys.**
- Do NOT convert to `{"values": {"a": ...}}` or flatten to just `"a"`.
### ResizeImageMaskNode (COMFY_DYNAMICCOMBO_V3)
```json
{
"class_type": "ResizeImageMaskNode",
"inputs": {
"input": ["276", 0],
"scale_method": "lanczos",
"resize_type": "scale dimensions",
"resize_type.width": 1920,
"resize_type.height": 1088,
"resize_type.crop": "center"
}
}
```
- `resize_type` is a `COMFY_DYNAMICCOMBO_V3`.
- Mode-specific fields: `resize_type.width`, `resize_type.height`, `resize_type.crop`.
- `scale_method` options: `"nearest-exact"`, `"bilinear"`, `"area"`, `"bicubic"`, `"lanczos"`.
- **Keep the dotted format as JSON keys.**
- Do NOT flatten `resize_type.width` to just `"width"`.
---
## Conversion recipe
1. Load template from the installed package path.
2. Parse `data['definitions']['subgraphs'][0]`.
3. For each node (skip Reroute):
- Resolve linked inputs from `sg['links']` dict.
- Map `widgets_values` to input field names.
- Keep all dotted key names as-is from the template.
4. Bypass Reroute: trace source, replace references.
5. Change only: prompt text, seed values, and user-requested parameters.
6. Add `SaveVideo` terminal node if template uses only `CreateVideo`.
7. Submit → read errors → patch specific nodes → resubmit.
## What to NEVER change in a template
| Element | Why |
|---------|-----|
| Node topology | Graph is designed for the specific model |
| Sigmas values | Tuned for the model/sampler combination |
| LoRA/distilled paths | Required for quality, even if they look unused |
| Model parameters (cfg, steps, shifts) | Model-specific |
| Conditioning chains (zero-out, crop guides) | Required for correct conditioning |
| Pass-through wiring | Don't remove nodes, bypass them |

## Cloud compatibility (verified May 2025)
The full LTX 2.3 T2V template (`video_ltx2_3_t2v.json`) runs **without
modification** on Comfy Cloud.
**Confirmed working on Cloud (all custom nodes available):**
`ComfyMathExpression`, `ResizeImageMaskNode`, `ResizeImagesByLongerEdge`,
`PrimitiveInt`, `PrimitiveStringMultiline`, `PrimitiveBoolean`, `SaveVideo`,
`LTXVCropGuides`, `LTXVImgToVideoInplace`, `LTXVConcatAVLatent`,
`LTXVSeparateAVLatent`, `LTXVLatentUpsampler`, `LTXVAudioVAELoader`,
`LTXVAudioVAEDecode`, `LTXVEmptyLatentAudio`, `LTXVPreprocess`,
`LTXVConditioning`, `ManualSigmas`, `LTXAVTextEncoderLoader`, plus all core
nodes.
**Cloud vs Local for LTX 2.3 (768x512):**
- Cloud: ~39s per video (4x faster).
- Local (RTX 5090): ~160s per video.
- `example.png` placeholder works on Cloud for bypassed image-dependent paths.
- Submission format is **identical** between local and Cloud:
`{"prompt": wf, "extra_data": {}}` to `/api/prompt`.
- Free tier = 1 concurrent job.
**Cloud submission pitfalls:**
- `/api/object_info/<node>` returns 404 on free tier — can't query node
schemas remotely, but the workflow runs fine anyway. Always probe
`object_info` locally before building workflows.
- Cloud is ~4x faster — prefer Cloud for batch runs unless local is needed
for debugging.
- Cloud `/api/view` returns **302 redirect to signed GCS URL** — use
`curl -s -L` to follow and download. Python `urllib` fails with 401
(forwards auth headers to GCS CDN).
- `COMFY_CLOUD_API_KEY` is only in the terminal/bash env, not in the Python
sandbox. Use subprocess or terminal scripts for Cloud API calls.
- Cloud free tier processes jobs **sequentially** (1 at a time). Submit all,
then poll history.
- LTX 2.3 at **1920x1080 OOMs locally** (even RTX 5090) — upscaler pass
exceeds VRAM. Prefer Cloud for 1080p; use 1280x720 locally (~90s/video).

## FFmpeg stitch settings (Discord-compatible)
Generated ComfyUI videos often use `yuv444p` pixel format which does NOT work
on Discord. Re-encode with:
```bash
ffmpeg -y -i input.mp4 \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v main -preset medium -crf 13 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-c:a aac -b:a 192k \
output_discord.mp4
```
Key settings:
- `-pix_fmt yuv420p`**required for Discord**, ComfyUI outputs `yuv444p` by default.
- `-crf 13` — high quality without massive file size (default 23 is too lossy).
- `-profile:v main` — widely compatible.
For multi-video crossfade stitching, chain `xfade` (video) and `acrossfade`
(audio):
```bash
ffmpeg -y -i a.mp4 -i b.mp4 -i c.mp4 \
-filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]xfade=transition=fade:duration=1:offset=3.04[v1];[v1][2:v]xfade=transition=fade:duration=1:offset=6.08[vout];[0:a][1:a]acrossfade=duration=1:c1=tri:c2=tri[a1];[a1][2:a]acrossfade=duration=1:c1=tri:c2=tri[aout]" \
-map "[vout]" -map "[aout]" \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v main -crf 13 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-c:a aac -b:a 192k \
output.mp4
```
Offset for xfade #N = `(N+1) × duration - N × overlap`.
