… too The atomic claim file closed the background-vs-background double-download race, but by explicit scope the foreground path still claimed with its advisory state record alone (`_claim_foreground` + a one-shot `_enforce_claim`). That guard is check-then-act, and its tie-break is not decisive: `started_at` is second-resolution and `_claim_order` falls back to a random 12-hex id, so a foreground record that lands after a competitor's re-scan and happens to draw the lower id survives its own `_enforce_claim` while the competitor already holds the claim — and both transfers write the same destination. Foreground-vs-foreground has the identical window. The foreground branch now takes the same `O_EXCL` claim in the same order as a `--background` submit: record write → advisory `_enforce_claim` → claim. `_acquire_dest_claim` already handles the collision (resolve the holder, clear one stale claim and retry exactly once, otherwise withdraw our record and raise `model_download_in_flight`), and the existing `finally` that persists the terminal record now releases the claim right after it — unconditionally, since `release_claim` no-ops unless the claim still names us. Degradation is unchanged in philosophy: no record (`_claim_foreground` returned None) or no usable claims directory means no claim file and today's advisory-only behaviour, because bookkeeping must not turn a working download into an error. Three docstrings/comments that asserted a foreground transfer writes no claim file are corrected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Extract the shared claim sequence so both paths cannot drift.
This block repeats _submit_background_download (Lines 935-943) step for step: advisory _enforce_claim, then _dest_claim_path, then _acquire_dest_claim, with the same degrade-on-None branch. The ordering is the safety property of this PR. Two copies means a later edit can change one order and leave the other, and the race returns without a test noticing.
A tiny helper keeps the two paths in lockstep — one claim to rule them both, no clone to atone for.

🟡 Medium — The stale-claim recovery inside _acquire_dest_claim leans on release_claim's read-then-unlink, which is not atomic: two runs that both read the same stale owner can interleave so that one unlinks and publishes its live claim, and the other then unlinks that live claim on the strength of its earlier read and wins its own retry — leaving both convinced they own the destination and writing it concurrently, the exact invariant this change is meant to establish. Extending the claim to the foreground path makes that window reachable from plain comfy model download, so it is worth closing (e.g. take over a stale claim with an atomic rename/link instead of unlink-then-create). Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

🟡 Medium — The foreground path now inherits _acquire_dest_claim's two unconditional failure exits, model_download_claim_unclearable and model_download_claim_contested, so a claim file that cannot be unlinked (a directory planted at the claim path, an immutable file) permanently refuses every plain comfy model download to that destination — a download that previously always worked. That contradicts the degrade-don't-fail rule this same block applies to claim_file is None and to acquire_claim's OSError; consider degrading to the advisory guard on the unclearable case as well, and either way update comfy_cli/error_codes.py, which still documents both codes as something only comfy model download --background produces.

🟢 Low — The foreground path is now a producer of claim files but, unlike _submit_background_download, never calls download_state.prune() — and _sweep_claims is the only thing that reclaims a claim for a destination that is never re-attempted. A foreground run killed by SIGKILL/SIGTERM therefore strands its .claim until the user happens to re-download that exact destination, submit a --background download, or run comfy model downloads, so a foreground-only workflow grows claims/ without bound — precisely the accumulation prune's docstring cites as the reason the sweep exists.

🟢 Low — The claim is acquired before the try whose finally releases it, so an exception landing in that window (Ctrl-C, or anything raised by the try setup) strands a claim we do own alongside a still-downloading record. In the CLI this self-heals once the process dies and the pid check demotes the record, but in a long-lived or embedded caller that catches the interrupt the pid stays alive and the destination is refused as model_download_in_flight indefinitely; acquiring inside the try (or wrapping acquisition and transfer in one try/finally) closes it.

🟢 Low — _claim_holder/_sweep_claims treat a claim as live whenever worker_alive(record) holds, even for a terminal record — a rule written for detached workers, whose process exits right after their terminal write. A foreground record's pid is the user's CLI process, which outlives the transfer, so between _persist_record and this release_claim a competitor resolves the claim as live and is refused with a completed/failed status quoted back at it; and because the return value is discarded, a failed unlink leaves that state for the rest of the process's life with no warning.

🟢 Low — The claim is keyed on local_filepath only, which does not cover the Hugging Face branch's intermediate file: hf_hub_download writes under the repo-derived name into the shared local_dir/cache_dir and is only then shutil.moved onto local_filepath. Two concurrent foreground runs for the same HF file with different --filename values therefore hold two distinct claims, collide on that one intermediate path, and the loser's move fails with a spurious download_failed. Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial).

Two
comfy model downloadruns aimed at the same file used to be able to bothdecide they were the winner and both write it. #777 fixed that for
--backgroundby having each submitter try to create a small lock file — thekernel gives that file to exactly one of them, so there is no argument. But by
its own scope #777 left the plain (foreground)
comfy model downloadout: itstill settled ties by comparing timestamps, and the timestamp only has
one-second resolution, so a coin-flip on a random id decided the tie. Lose the
coin flip in the wrong direction and both downloads proceed.
This PR gives the foreground path the same lock file, and hands it back when
the download ends — success, failure, or Ctrl-C.
What changed
comfy_cli/command/models/models.py, foreground branch ofdownload():_enforce_claimre-scan, itderives
_dest_claim_path(local_filepath)and calls_acquire_dest_claim(...). Order is identical to_submit_background_download: record write → advisory re-scan →O_EXCLclaim. The record has to land first, because the claim is only a pointer and
a competitor probing it for liveness must never find it aimed at a record that
does not exist yet.
finallythat already calls_persist_record(claim)now callsdownload_state.release_claim(claim_file, owner_id=claim.id)immediatelyafter it. Release is unconditional (
release_claimno-ops unless the claimstill names us) and deliberately after the terminal status write: a competitor
that grabs the claim the instant we drop it re-scans for records, and our
still-
downloadingrecord would rank earlier than theirs, so they wouldwithdraw against a run that is already over.
claim is None(record unwritable, orpid_create_timeunreadable) or_dest_claim_path() is None(claims dirunusable) → no claim file at all, today's advisory-only behaviour. Bookkeeping
must not turn a working download into an error. The
claim is Noneskip isnot incidental: a claim pointing at no record reads stale to the next run and
gets swept, so taking one buys nothing.
Three comments/docstrings asserted "a foreground transfer writes no claim file"
and are now false — corrected in
_submit_background_download,_claim_order,and
_enforce_claim. The cross-workspace residual note in_active_download_foris left alone; that residual is real and out of scope.
No new helper, no signature change, no new error code: the collision path reuses
_acquire_dest_claim, which already resolves the holder via_claim_holder(works unmodified for foreground records —
_claim_foregroundsets the CLIprocess's
pid/pid_create_time), clears a stale claim with exactly one retry,and on losing withdraws our record and raises

download_state.prune— which sweeps stale claims — is calledonly by
_submit_background_downloadand bycomfy model downloads, never bythe foreground
