Three bugs in the workflow node-usage feature, found while trying to work out why the analyzer under-reported packages and why Uninstall Selected did nothing. All were verified against a real install (52 installed packs, 29 workflows).

1. Workflows are read with the platform's default encoding

get_node_types_in_workflows used json.load(open(path, "r")). With no encoding, Python uses the platform default — cp1252 on Windows. Any workflow containing non-ASCII text raises UnicodeDecodeError, which the per-file except swallows, so the workflow disappears from the response with only a warning.

2 of my 29 workflows failed this way, example of errors:

wanvideo_480p_I2V_example_02.json   'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1228
video_wan2_2_14B_i2v.json           'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 24997

Now opened with encoding="utf-8-sig", which handles a BOM if present and plain UTF-8 otherwise. Also wrapped in a with block — the old form leaked the file handle.

2. Nodes inside subgraphs are never scanned

The loop only walked the root nodes array. Subgraph definitions live in a flat definitions.subgraphs list and their nodes never appear there, so everything inside a subgraph was invisible. Worse, a subgraph instance node's type is the subgraph's UUID, so a meaningless 5eb5cfa6-f140-40b7-… was reported in place of the real node types.

Added collect_node_types_in_graph, which indexes the definitions by id and, on reaching a node whose type names one, descends into that definition instead of emitting the uuid. It also registers definitions nested on a subgraph, and carries a visited set so a self-referencing subgraph can't recurse forever.

Packages that only became visible after this change, on two of my workflows:

workflow types found only inside subgraphs
video_wan2_2_14B_i2v.json UnetLoaderGGUF (comfyui-gguf), ImageResizeKJv2, TorchCompileModelAdvanced (kjnodes)

image_krea2_turbo_t2i.json went from 5 reported entries to 28.

The JSON response shape is unchanged, so getWorkflowNodeTypes() needs no changes.

3. "Uninstall Selected" silently does nothing

/manager/queue/start and /manager/queue/reset are registered POST-only, but uninstallNodes in common.js and four call sites in node-usage-analyzer.js called them via fetchApi with no options — which sends a GET. Confirmed against a running instance:

GET /manager/queue/start  -> 404
GET /manager/queue/reset  -> 404
GET /manager/queue/status -> {"total_count": 0, ...}   (a genuinely GET route)

So each POST /manager/queue/uninstall queued its task fine, the start call failed, and the worker never ran. The JS ignored that response and went straight to onSuccess(), telling the user to restart ComfyUI — after which the queue is gone and nothing was ever removed.

Every other UI in the repo (custom-nodes-manager.js, model-manager.js, comfyui-manager.js) already passes { method: 'POST' }. Added it to the five call sites that didn't, and uninstallNodes now checks the start response instead of reporting success unconditionally.

Related: the uninstall endpoint keys off json_data.get('id'). custom-nodes-manager.js backfills that from the pack key, but the analyzer assigned originalData: pack raw — and packs absent from the node DB carry no id, so node_name was None and unified_uninstall raised on node_id.lower(), caught by the worker's bare except and visible only as a terminal traceback. 7 of my 52 installed packs were in that state, and they'd still have failed after fixing the 404, so id is now backfilled the same way (plus hash, which was feeding ui_id as undefined).

Testing

  • Ran the new collect_node_types_in_graph over all 29 workflows in a real user directory: all parse (3 previously failed outright), no UUIDs leak into the output, subgraph contents are picked up.
  • Probed the queue endpoints against a live ComfyUI to confirm the GET/POST mismatch.
  • Both touched JS files parse as ES modules; manager_server.py compiles.

Not addressed

installModels in node-usage-analyzer.js posts custom-node installs to /manager/queue/install_model (the model endpoint, not /manager/queue/install). It's unreachable — nothing in that UI renders an install button — so I left it alone, but it's wrong if anyone wires it up.

zzlol63 and others added 2 commits September 15, 2026 19:19
get_node_types_in_workflows opened workflow files with json.load(open(path,
"r")), which uses the platform's default encoding. On Windows that is cp1252,
so any workflow containing non-ASCII text raised UnicodeDecodeError, was
swallowed by the per-file except, and vanished from the result entirely. Open
with encoding="utf-8-sig" instead (workflows are always UTF-8, and may carry a
BOM), and use a with-block so the handle is no longer leaked.

The scan also only walked the root "nodes" array. Subgraph definitions live in
a flat definitions.subgraphs list and their nodes never appear there, so every
node inside a subgraph was invisible - and the instance node's type is the
subgraph's UUID, so a meaningless uuid was reported in place of the real node
types.

Extract the per-node work into collect_node_types_in_graph, which indexes the
subgraph definitions by id and, on reaching a node whose type names one,
descends into that definition rather than reporting the uuid. It also picks up
definitions nested on a subgraph and carries a visited set so a
self-referencing subgraph cannot recurse forever.

The response shape is unchanged, so getWorkflowNodeTypes needs no changes.

/manager/queue/start and /manager/queue/reset are registered POST-only, but
uninstallNodes and the node usage analyzer called them through fetchApi with no
options, which sends a GET. The request failed, so the task worker never ran:
each uninstall was queued successfully and then sat there untouched. Because
the response was ignored, the UI still reported success and asked the user to
restart ComfyUI - after which the queue was gone and nothing had been removed.

Every other caller in the codebase already passes { method: 'POST' }; add it to
the five call sites that did not, and check the start response in
uninstallNodes so a failure here is reported instead of presented as success.

The uninstall endpoint also keys off json_data['id']. custom-nodes-manager.js
backfills that field from the pack key, but the analyzer passed the pack
through untouched, and packs absent from the node DB carry no 'id' - those were
queued with a null node name and died in unified_uninstall on node_id.lower(),
visible only as a traceback in the terminal. Backfill 'id' the same way, and
set 'hash' so ui_id is no longer undefined.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add recursive extraction of node types from nested workflow subgraphs and improve queue API request handling. Workflow files support UTF-8 BOMs. Queue startup failures now stop successful uninstall handling.

Changes

Workflow and queue behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive workflow node collection
glob/manager_server.py
Workflow parsing supports UTF-8 with optional BOMs. Recursive collection includes nested subgraph node types, excludes subgraph IDs, prevents cycles, preserves cnr_id and ver, and retains malformed-node warnings.
Queue request handling
js/common.js, js/node-usage-analyzer.js
Queue reset and start calls explicitly use POST. Uninstall startup accepts only HTTP 200 and 201 responses. Missing pack IDs use the pack key, and model entries receive an MD5 hash.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7a506

A failed installation queue start can be presented as successful, while clients may reject valid workflow-analysis responses because their documented shape is wrong. Both issues should be fixed before merge.

Comment thread glob/manager_server.py
Comment thread js/common.js Outdated
Addresses two review findings.

collect_node_types_in_graph tested membership on node values directly, so a
null node, or a node with a null "properties" value, raised TypeError. The
caller catches that and never appends the mapping, meaning one malformed entry
made the entire workflow disappear from the report. Guard that each node is a
dict and read "properties" via get(). A non-list "nodes" value had the same
effect and is now skipped with a warning - the endpoint's `"nodes" not in
workflow_file_data` check does not catch `"nodes": null`.

queue_start returns 201 when a worker is already running, in which case it goes
on to consume the items just queued. uninstallNodes accepted only 200, so it
would report a failure and skip onSuccess even though the uninstall was
proceeding. The status precheck in uninstallNodes uses the same predicate as
the 201 branch, but the confirm dialog sits between that check and the start
call, so a worker started meanwhile lands here. Accept both 200 and 201.

🟡 Minor · Skip non-string node types before the subgraph lookup. · glob/manager_server.py:882-882

882-882: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Skip non-string node types before the subgraph lookup. collect_node_types_in_graph reads workflow JSON without validating node["type"]. A list or object reaches node_type in subgraph_definitions and raises TypeError because it is unhashable. The per-file handler catches the error and omits that workflow from the result.

Proposed fix
         node_type = node["type"]
+        if not isinstance(node_type, str):
+            logging.warning(f"Node {node['id']} has an invalid type in {workflow_file_path}")

A list or dict node type reaches `node_type in subgraph_definitions` and raises
TypeError because it is unhashable; the per-file handler catches it and drops
the whole workflow from the report. Null and numeric types did not raise but
were emitted into the result as junk entries.

The isinstance(node, dict) guard added previously covered the node object but
not the values inside it. Check the type is a string before the subgraph
lookup, which closes all four cases.

🟡 Minor · Validate cnr_id before copying it. · glob/manager_server.py:895-902

895-902: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate cnr_id before copying it. collect_node_types_in_graph recursively visits referenced subgraphs and copies truthy non-string properties["cnr_id"] values into node_types. analyzeWorkflowUsage passes them to findPackageByCnrId. Without a direct package-key match, that function calls cnrId.toLowerCase(), which can throw and abort usage analysis. Copy cnr_id only when it is a string. The same unchecked behavior exists for root nodes; the current node_type guard does not validate cnr_id.

A non-string cnr_id was copied straight into the response. On the client,
analyzeWorkflowUsage hands it to findPackageByCnrId, which falls through the
direct key lookup and calls cnrId.toLowerCase() - not a function on a list,
dict, number or bool. Neither analyzeWorkflowUsage nor the analyzer's loadData
catches it, so the whole usage analysis dies and the panel stays on
"Analyzing node usage ...".

Only copy cnr_id when it is a string. ver is left as-is: no client code reads
it, so there is nothing to break.

🟠 Major · Align the OpenAPI response schema with the collector output. · glob/manager_server.py:895-911

895-911: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the OpenAPI response schema with the collector output.

glob/manager_server.py returns objects such as {"type": "SomeNode"} in node_types, and may include cnr_id and ver. openapi.yaml declares each node_types item as a string. This reachable response-contract mismatch can reject schema validation and cause generated clients to expect the wrong shape. Define node_types.items as an object with the required metadata fields, or update the endpoint and consumers together if strings are required.
