ELI-5

When the server sends back an error, it normally says what went wrong in a
machine-readable error.code. If it doesn't, the SDK guesses the code from the
HTTP status. For 409 Conflict the guess was hash_mismatch — "the bytes you
uploaded don't match the hash you declared, upload them again."

That guess was only ever consulted for responses that came from somewhere other
than the surface where a real hash mismatch happens, and it told those callers to
re-upload bytes over a conflict that had nothing to do with bytes. This removes
the guess. A 409 that names no code is now just a ComfyError that says 409.
Real hash mismatches are unaffected — they always name themselves.

Why the guess was never reachable for a real hash mismatch

_CODE_BY_STATUS is consulted only when the response named no code of its own
(src/comfy_low/errors.py): no envelope error.code, and no Router bucket from
X-Comfy-Error-Type / a top-level body error_type. Verified against the
vendored specs:

  • ErrorEnvelope lists code and message under required, so every v2
    envelope response carries a code and the table never decides one.
  • spec/openapi.yaml documents exactly two 409s, both answering in
    ErrorEnvelope: hash_mismatch on POST /api/v2/assets and asset_in_use on
    DELETE /api/v2/assets/{id}. So the contract itself already spells the status
    two ways — the status alone cannot say which even on the compliant surface.
  • spec/router-openapi.yaml documents one 409 (RouterIdempotencyConflict
    on POST /v2/models/{provider}/{model}), whose body is RouterErrorResponse
    {detail, error_type}, with error_type required and no error.code. That
    path is decided by the bucket, which already outranks the table, so it cannot
    regress here.

What is left reaching the table on a 409 is therefore Router-shaped bodies
whose bucket was stripped, and intermediaries — neither bound by what any route
documents for the status.

Change

  1. 409: "hash_mismatch" removed from _CODE_BY_STATUS. A code-less 409 now
    gets code = "error" and stays a bare ApiError carrying the real
    http_status, the response's own message (or HTTP 409), and retry_after;
    to_sdk_error surfaces it as a plain ComfyError.
  2. The table gains the admission rule it now applies, so the next status
    added is judged the same way: only a status with ONE meaning across every
    documented surface gets a typed guess. 422 and 429 are kept deliberately
    — their possible misreadings stay inside the right action class (terminal
    refusal / back-off-and-retry), unlike HashMismatch, which tells the caller
    to re-upload bytes.
  3. Tests in tests/test_error_mapping.py (module docstring widened from its 404
    scope) pin: a code-less 409 is a plain ApiError with code == "error" and
    http_status == 409 and to_sdk_error gives exactly ComfyError; a code-less
    409 keeps retry_after on both layers; an enveloped hash_mismatch 409 is
    still HashMismatch on both layers; a body-less 401 is still Unauthorized.
  4. CHANGELOG entry under Unreleased → Fixed.

Riskiest line, and why it is safe

The deletion itself. Three things independently keep it from changing anything a
caller relies on:

  • The assets path. Enveloped hash_mismatch still wins outright
    (error.code is read before the table). tests/test_assets.py's
    test_hash_mismatch_surfaced_without_blind_retry — which drives the stub
    server's real 409 hash_mismatch and asserts exactly one upload attempt —
    passes unchanged.
  • Retry behaviour. is_collectable gates a 409 on
    bucket == "concurrency_limit_exceeded". The old code-less bucket was
    hash_mismatch; the new one is error. Neither matches, so a code-less 409
    stays a terminal refusal under RetryPolicy exactly as before — no new
    same-key resend, no new billed generation.
  • The router path. Decided by the bucket, which outranks the table on every
    status; the existing (409, "invalid_input") and
    concurrency_limit_exceeded → ConcurrencyLimitExceeded cases still pass.

_CODE_BY_STATUS has exactly one reader (error_from_envelope), so there are no
other call sites to update.

Sweep of what is not changed

I re-read all 6 remaining entries in the table against the admission rule this
PR writes down. None fails it the way 409 did: where a status is spelled
differently by the two surfaces (404 not_found vs Router's model_not_found;
403 forbidden vs not_enabled) the readings stay inside one action class —
terminal, fix-the-request — and none of them directs the caller at a distinct
mutating action the way HashMismatch directs a re-upload. So no further entry
is dropped here, and this is a deliberate finding rather than an unexamined
remainder.

Behaviour change for callers

A caller catching HashMismatch around a 409 that arrives without an
error.code now sees ComfyError instead. That is the intended fix, and it is
documented in the CHANGELOG. Every 409 the contracts actually document — both
enveloped ones and the Router one — is unaffected.

Verification

Full required CI set locally on the worktree, plus the two non-test-job gates:

  • ruff check . — clean
  • ruff format --check . — 51 files already formatted
  • mypy src — no issues in 19 source files
  • pytest722 passed, 4 skipped (the 4 are the env-gated live gateway suite)
  • scripts/check_public_repo_hygiene.py — no internal-only references
  • scripts/check_drift.py — models in sync, all 15 router error types covered

Residual

  • The Router {detail, error_type} → typed RouterError work is out of scope
    here
    and is only partly landed on main already. error_from_envelope
    preserves the bucket and to_sdk_error selects the typed subclass, so
    except NotEnabled and friends do fire — but that depends on the bucket
    actually reaching this function via the X-Comfy-Error-Type header or a
    top-level body error_type. A Router-shaped 409 that reaches the SDK with
    its bucket stripped (an intermediary that drops response headers and rewrites
    the body) still decodes off the status table, which after this PR means a plain
    ComfyError rather than the ConcurrencyLimitExceeded it really was. This PR
    deliberately does not try to recover a bucket that is not on the wire; it only
    stops the table from asserting a wrong specific cause. Anyone picking this up
    should look at whether {detail, error_type} bodies on the /models/run path
    need a stronger identification path than the bucket alone.
  • Hedge on the sweep above. The 6-entry re-read is a judgement against the
    documented surfaces in the two vendored specs, not a measurement of live
    traffic. If an intermediary is in practice minting bucket-less 403s or 404s
    the way the record shows it mints 409s, the same argument would apply to
    those entries and it would be visible in production error telemetry, which I
    cannot query from here.
  • Unexercised artifacts. The investigation this work came from, and its
    findings write-up, are in an internal tracker I have no access to — I could not
    read them and reconstructed the reasoning from the vendored specs and the code
    instead (which is what the empirical section above is). The prior change that
    added request_id and made to_sdk_error forward retry_after was open when
    this work was specified; I confirmed it is merged by reading main
    (src/comfy_sdk/exceptions.py), not by reading that PR, and added the
    to_sdk_error retry_after assertion accordingly. No live server was called —
    the suite is stdlib-stub-driven by design.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected handling for conflict (409) responses without an explicit error code: they now remain generic errors instead of being classified as hash mismatches.
    • Responses with explicit error codes continue to use the specified classification.
    • Preserved existing retry metadata and behavior for 422, 429, and Retry-After responses.
    • Bodyless unauthorized (401) responses continue to be identified correctly.

`_CODE_BY_STATUS` is consulted only when a response named no code of its
own -- no envelope `error.code`, no Router bucket. `ErrorEnvelope` makes
`error.code` required, so neither documented v2 `409` (`hash_mismatch` on
`POST /assets`, `asset_in_use` on `DELETE /assets/{id}`) ever reaches the
table; what does reach it are Router-shaped `{detail, error_type}` bodies
and intermediaries, which can answer a `409` for anything. Guessing
`HashMismatch` there told those callers to re-upload bytes over a conflict
that was never about bytes -- and the contract already spells the status
two ways, so even on the compliant surface the status alone cannot say
which.

A code-less `409` now decodes to `code = "error"` and stays a bare
`ApiError` carrying the real `http_status`, the response's own message and
any `Retry-After`, surfacing as a plain `ComfyError`. Enveloped and
bucket-carrying `409`s are untouched.

The table gains the admission rule this applies, so the next status added
is judged the same way: only a status with ONE meaning across every
documented surface gets a typed guess. `422` and `429` are kept
deliberately -- their misreadings stay inside the right action class
(terminal refusal / back-off-and-retry), unlike `HashMismatch`.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test response-message preservation for code-less 409 errors.

This test passes None, so it verifies the fallback code and status only. It does not verify that a message from a code-less 409 response reaches both ApiError.message and ComfyError.message. Pass an error body with a message and assert both fields.

The PR objective requires preservation of the response message. As per path instructions, tests must exercise the described behavior rather than only asserting current output.

🟢 Low — The guarantee that a real hash mismatch "always arrives enveloped" has a hole on the unparseable-body path: the transport sets body=None whenever the error body fails to JSON-decode (proxy HTML page, truncated response), so a genuine POST /assets hash mismatch with a mangled body now degrades to a plain ComfyError and a caller's except HashMismatch re-upload handler silently stops firing. POST /assets documents exactly one 409 code, so consider scoping the dropped guess to the ambiguous route, or softening this claim from absolute to "whenever the body decodes".

🟢 Lowasset_in_use is cited here as a first-class documented 409, but no class maps that code — it is absent from _BY_CODE in this module and from comfy_sdk.exceptions._BY_CODE. After this change neither form of a delete conflict is type-catchable: the enveloped one surfaces as a bare ApiError with code == "asset_in_use" and the code-less one as ComfyError with code == "error", leaving callers to string-compare .code. Adding an AssetInUse(ApiError) alongside HashMismatch, plus the matching comfy_sdk entry, would close it. Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

🟢 Low — The comment says the table is consulted whenever the response named no code of its own, but an empty or whitespace error.code defeats that: code = (err or {}).get("code") is never passed through _clean and both guards below test if code is None, so a body like {"error": {"code": ""}} short-circuits the Router-bucket fallback and this table — a bare 401 would yield ApiError(code="") instead of Unauthorized. The message already uses a falsy check (if not message) and both error_type sources go through _clean, so error.code is the one field where a malformed value survives.

🟢 Low — The new admission rule ("only a status with ONE meaning across every documented surface") is not satisfied by the retained 422: the spec spells it invalid_workflow, workflow_format_ui, missing_asset and idempotency_key_reuse, and those are not one action class — a code-less key-reuse 422 read as InvalidWorkflow points the caller at a graph that is fine while hiding that the first request was already accepted, so the "fix" is a resubmit under a new key and a second billed job. That is the same duplicate-work shape used to justify dropping 409, so either narrow the rule's wording or apply it to 422 as well.
