What

--emit-workflow writes API format, which the ComfyUI canvas and every cloud-agent edit tool refuse (workflow_not_frontend_format — 48 refusals in one staging day), and which a shared-document (CRDT) consumer cannot attribute.

--emit-ops (requires --emit-workflow) re-expresses the same graph — build_workflow stays the single source of the model→node mapping — as add_node/set_widget/connect specs and materializes it through workflow_ops.apply_specs: the machinery every hand edit already uses, so widget order, autogrow growth and position assignment keep one answer. The written file becomes frontend format (canvas-editable), and the envelope carries a stamped replace_ops batch exactly like templates fetch --emit-ops (--actor/--base-version accepted the same way).

Also fixes a latent converter bug the round-trip contract exposed: convert_ui_to_api paired widgets positionally from the input dict order and ignored input_order, silently swapping neighboring widget values on any re-serialized catalog (GeminiImageNode's prompt/model traded places on an alphabetized fixture). It now honors input_order the way the cql engine's _ordered_names does.

Testing

  • test_emit_ops.py (11 tests, TDD): ops shape, apply-to-frontend, and the round-trip contract — lowering the materialized frontend workflow back to API format reproduces build_workflow's semantics (image-edit, video, no-image, multi-image/ImageBatch cases); write_frontend_workflow file+batch behavior incl. the delete half over a previous graph; CLI end-to-end via COMFY_OBJECT_INFO_FILE; the converter input_order regression.
  • Full suite: 424 passed in the touched areas; the only failures are 4 pre-existing on clean main in this sandbox (TTY/network-dependent spend-gate + stderr tests — verified by stashing the change).
  • ruff check/format clean.

Consumer wiring (cloud agent generate_workflow passes the flags + pin bump) follows in Comfy-Org/cloud.

…tamped op batch (BE-11131)

--emit-workflow writes API format, which the canvas and every edit tool
refuse (workflow_not_frontend_format) and which a shared-document consumer
cannot attribute. --emit-ops re-expresses the SAME graph (build_workflow
stays the single source of the model→node mapping) as
add_node/set_widget/connect specs and materializes it through
workflow_ops.apply_specs — the machinery every hand edit uses, so widget
order, autogrow and positions have one answer. The file on disk becomes
frontend format (canvas-editable), and the envelope carries the
replace_ops batch exactly like templates fetch --emit-ops, so the
consumer folds the replacement in as attributed ops.

Also fixes a latent converter bug the round-trip contract exposed:
convert_ui_to_api paired widgets positionally from the input DICT's order
and ignored input_order, silently swapping neighboring widget values on
any re-serialized catalog (GeminiImageNode's prompt/model traded places
on an alphabetized fixture). It now honors input_order the way the cql
engine's _ordered_names does.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The generate command now supports frontend workflow emission with attributed operations and metadata. API workflows convert into ordered operations, frontend files are materialized and written, and input conversion honors declared input_order.

Changes

Workflow emission

Layer / File(s) Summary
API graph operation conversion
comfy_cli/command/generate/emit.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/generate/test_emit_ops.py
API workflow nodes, widgets, and links convert into ordered operation specifications and frontend workflow state.
Frontend workflow persistence and CLI wiring
comfy_cli/command/generate/app.py, comfy_cli/command/generate/emit.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/generate/test_emit_ops.py
The CLI validates --emit-ops, accepts actor and base-version metadata, writes frontend workflows, and reports format, node count, and operations.
Input ordering and round-trip validation
comfy_cli/workflow_to_api.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/generate/test_emit_ops.py
Frontend-to-API conversion orders widget values using input_order. Tests cover round trips and CLI behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c5a50

The new workflow-operation generation flags work through custom argument parsing, but invalid flag combinations may leave incomplete error telemetry and the new options do not receive normal CLI help and validation behavior. These are bounded CLI integration issues that should be addressed before broad use.

invokes _track_error("emit", exc) before re-raising the same exception, ensuring
exits after cql_no_graph produce a terminal generate:error event while
preserving existing exit behavior.

Coordination note: this overlaps with #838 (opened ~12h earlier from the same ticket, BE-11131) — #838 is PR A of a 3-PR plan that rebuilds build_workflow on the op primitives directly, with B (compose) and C (--emit-ops flag) to follow. Converting this to draft to avoid a collision.

Proposed resolution: #838 lands first; this PR then rebases into its PR-C slot, contributing the pieces #838's plan hasn't covered yet: the --emit-ops --actor --base-version flag surface with the stamped replace_ops envelope batch (including the delete half over a previous canvas, matching templates fetch --emit-ops), the frontend↔API round-trip conformance test, and the consumer wiring in Comfy-Org/cloud#8274.

One piece here is independent of the collision and worth extracting either way: the convert_ui_to_api input_order fix (widgets were paired from input dict order, silently swapping neighboring values on any re-serialized catalog).

… from the test docstring

Public-repo hygiene rejected the ticket identifier in the test module
docstring; it now states the reason in plain words. Two review follow-ups:
an invalid --base-version goes through _bail so generate:error is recorded
before the exit, and a typer.Exit raised by _get_graph (cql_no_graph) is
tracked before it is re-raised, so generate:start is never left without its
terminal event.

586-586: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Track the incompatible-flag failure.

Line 586 raises typer.Exit directly. The outer except typer.Exit block re-raises it. Since line 531 already emitted generate:start, this path emits no terminal generate:error.

Call _bail with a schema.SchemaError here, as in the other invalid-argument paths.

Declare the new metadata flags with Typer.

_generate_entry forwards these flags through ctx.args, where _separate_meta_flags parses them manually. This bypasses Typer validation and help generation. Declare --emit-ops, --actor, and --base-version as Typer options, then pass their typed values into _generate.
