  • ranks concurrent autogrow names and positions by [base_version, actor, op_id]
  • removes the same-base autogrow ask-to-merge conflict while preserving every grow_id
  • adds both-application-order regression coverage; 127 focused tests pass
Full context for agent readers

This brings comfy-cli display ordering into parity with the Option-D ruling implemented by comfy-multi-player PR #140 and accepted in blocked-on-Christian #156. The follow-up belongs to the BE-10726 / ext-70 parity lineage.

The live code already had _stamp_key() with the total [base_version, actor, op_id] comparison, but autogrow collision naming used arrival-order next-free assignment and detect_conflict() surfaced same-base grows as a sequence conflict. This change records apply-time grow rank, deterministically reassigns names and input positions, repairs link target indices after reordering, and strips the rank bookkeeping at serialization just like the existing stamp stores.

Verification: uv run --extra dev pytest tests/comfy_cli/command/test_workflow_edit.py tests/comfy_cli/test_op_vocabulary_contract.py tests/comfy_cli/test_reset_doc_op.py -q (127 passed); git diff --check; touched-file Ruff passes with the unrelated pre-existing UP038 finding excluded.

The normative conflict-rule row in docs/op-vocabulary-v1.md now states the deterministic ranking contract. This PR is intentionally left open for comfy-cli owner review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Ordinary concurrent autogrow connections now use deterministic total-order ranks for names and positions. Schema templates flow through replay. Rank state rolls back on apply failures, resets with document history, and stays out of canonical output and serialization. PID checks now reject zombie processes.

Changes

Autogrow ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ranked autogrow replay
comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py
Replay stores operation ranks and schema templates. It reorders slots, names, inputs, and link targets. Apply failures restore rank state, and document resets clear it.
Conflict and state boundaries
comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py
Ordinary concurrent autogrow connects no longer produce conflicts. Internal ranks are excluded from canonical output and serialized workflow data.
Vocabulary and regression coverage
docs/op-vocabulary-v1.md, tests/comfy_cli/command/test_workflow_edit.py, tests/comfy_cli/test_workflow_print_promoted_autogrow.py
Documentation and tests cover deterministic names, ordering, replay convergence, idempotent replay, schema-template propagation, conflict-free operations, and flexible loader assignment.

Process liveness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Running-process validation
comfy_cli/command/jobs.py
_is_pid_alive now requires a running, non-zombie process and handles invalid or inaccessible PIDs as dead processes.

  • Windows 3.10 is green at c9de1a76441365256da60e092c3a1b14bb8bf6ce; the handle-held exited process now reads as dead.
  • The fix is confined to comfy_cli/command/jobs.py; no skip, xfail, or weakened assertion was added.
  • All PR checks are green, including the complete platform matrix.
Full context for agent readers

The original Windows failure was run 33357992059, job 99383700323, in test_watcher_without_recorded_start_time_falls_back_to_liveness. After _reap(p) returned, the test-owned subprocess.Popen still held a Windows process handle, so psutil.pid_exists(pid) treated the reserved PID as live.

_is_pid_alive now constructs psutil.Process(pid) and requires both process.is_running() and a non-zombie status. This keeps the existing non-destructive psutil approach while distinguishing an exited process whose handle remains open. The regression test remains unchanged and continues to hold the Popen reference through the dead-process assertion.

Local verification: target test 1/1 passed; full tests/comfy_cli/command/test_jobs_pid_alive.py module 8/8 passed; Ruff lint and format checks passed. Replacement matrix run 33361423518 passed on Ubuntu (99393380283), macOS (99393380321), and Windows (99393380357). A separate randomized option-D print test failed once in build run 33361423526; it passed on failed-job rerun 99395698762 with no code change. The reusable Windows handle-held-process pattern was upstreamed to ticket-to-pr-pipeline PR #4900.

2444-2444: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Retain rank metadata needed for late concurrent replay.

_rank_autogrow_group orders only slots whose grow_id has an entry in _autogrow_ranks. Removing that map during serialization loses the rank for already-materialized slots. After one grow is saved and reloaded, a concurrent lower-ranked grow is treated as arriving after a fixed slot. A peer that replays both operations before serialization can assign the lower-ranked grow to the first slot. Display names and positions can then depend on replay history.

Persist the rank with the operation or document, or reconstruct it from persisted operation metadata. Add a save/reload convergence regression before removing this state from serialized workflows.

The ranking key is right. [base_version, actor, op_id] is the same total order the stamps already use, op_id tiebreak included, so there is no tie to diverge on. I ran a permutation check over every order of 2, 3 and 4 concurrent grows, including reverse correlated base versions, and they all converge on the same names, positions and link rows.

Two things about the scope of that guarantee though.

1. The sort is skipped on the paths that still grow the slot

_rank_autogrow_group is the last statement of _apply_connect. The slot gets grown and its rank recorded up at 2094, but there are two returns before the sort runs, at 2153 for a concurrently deleted source and 2167 for source slot drift. So a grow that hits either one appends its slot and then leaves without sorting, and display order is back to arrival order.

Two ops, one with a drifted from_slot:

lo then hi  ->  [image0=lo, image1=hi]
hi then lo  ->  [image0=hi, image1=lo]

No data is lost, canonical() folds grown slot names so the documents still compare equal. The part that bothers me is detect_conflict returns False for this pair now. That pair used to get caught by the ask to merge path this PR removes, so the net that covered it is gone.

I would move the ranking so it runs whenever a slot was grown, rather than only on the fully successful tail, and re-derive to_idx from grow_id after it.

2. The rank map does not survive a write

_autogrow_ranks gets popped by both strip_internal (2444) and canonical (2339). comfy-cli loads from disk, applies, strips, writes. So two grows that arrive in separate invocations never see each other's ranks.

apply lo -> strip -> write -> read -> apply hi   =>  image0=lo
apply hi -> strip -> write -> read -> apply lo   =>  image0=hi

_widget_stamps has the same shape and that is fine, because the doc section says the stamps map lives only inside a live document. There is no doc side ranks map to match, so the parity with multi-player that this is aiming at does not hold once the CLI serializes between the two grows. Either persist a doc side rank map next to the stamps, or keep detect_conflict returning True for the unranked cases and say the claim is single session replay.

Smaller

The op vocabulary doc has a frozen section and §3's conflict row got rewritten in place. §9 wants a ## Amendment v1.x section for that, it says silent edits to frozen sections are not valid. §2's bookkeeping list also still omits _autogrow_ranks.

Sorting by rank compares stamps in the grow branch, which was explicitly carved out of the gate before because there was nothing to gate. Two wire shaped grow ops with no stamp key and a base_version of 4 against "4", or an actor of None, raise TypeError out of _apply_connect and abort the batch. Same exposure the gate already has so it is not new ground, and the rank rollback in the except keeps state clean. A coerce in _stamp_key would close both.

c9de1a76 rewrites _is_pid_alive in jobs.py for Windows. It is not in the title or body, it has no test, and the existing pid test passes identically with and without it. I could not reproduce the AccessDenied case on macOS. Please split it out.

Mutation check

Both new tests pin real regressions. Reverting workflow_ops.py to main turns the display order test red, and reverting to the pre-fixup commit turns the idempotent replay test red. Dropping the link repair block takes out six. Worth knowing that the two canonical comparison tests cannot catch either finding above, since canonical() folds grown slot names and order by design.

Suites I ran: the workflow command tests plus the op vocabulary contract and reset doc tests, 473 passed and 2 skipped. The ruff findings in those files are pre-existing on main.

Verdict

Requesting changes, on 1 and 2. The key itself is correct and the in-session convergence holds, this is about where the sort runs and how long the map lives.

comfy_cli/workflow_ops.py:2093
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce finite names templates without a catalog.

When two replicas concurrently mint {"names": ["first"]}, both operations request images.first. Catalog-free replay can append images.first1 because _next_autogrow_name receives the carried template but the limit check runs only when port is available. Catalog-backed replay rejects the collision at the template limit. This can violate the schema and make replicas diverge. Keep the schema bound in bounds during replay.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve autogrow ranks across serialization.

strip_internal removes _autogrow_ranks but retains each slot’s grow_id. During replay, _rank_autogrow_group can rank only newly replayed operations. A late concurrent autogrow can therefore follow arrival order instead of [base_version, actor, op_id] order. A reloaded workflow can then display a different slot order from an in-memory replica, so convergence depends on whether serialization occurred.

Preserve _autogrow_ranks, or reconstruct each persisted grow_id rank at the shared persistence/replay boundary before reranking. Keep the rank in the replay chain; otherwise arrival order wins the display game.

🟡 Minor · Guard malformed watcher PIDs before comparison. · jobs.py:69-71

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard malformed watcher PIDs before comparison. jobs_state.read preserves JSON value types, so a non-terminal record with a string watcher_pid reaches _gather_local_state_files. The state.watcher_pid > 0 check raises TypeError before _is_watcher_alive runs. _is_pid_alive and _is_watcher_alive also compare malformed values before their protected lookup.

Make the liveness guard reject non-integer PIDs, and remove the callers’ > 0 checks so every non-None recorded PID reaches that guard and malformed records can be reaped.
