ComfyUI

Choose a bounded workflow before admitting ComfyUI. Its graph and dependency closure must describe exactly what may execute, which parameters may vary, and how results return to their owners. ComfyUI is a graph execution engine; a local service can become a Soulstone when LychD owns its container, queue, readiness, GPU placement, model mounts, and lifecycle. Several semantic owners may use that engine.

This native adapter is a Designed candidate. No native ServiceJob adapter or admitted visual byte path is delivered; State of Work owns delivery status. The separate Workbench engineering probe exercises classic-server submission/reconciliation and bounded retrieval outside native admission. Its mock-transport evidence does not prove a running server, model closure, generation or semantic acceptance. State owns that subset.

Keep model, engine, and road apart

An immutable semantic profile belongs to its domain and pins the operation, request and result schemas, model or voice identity, languages, formats, license, limits, and bake evidence. Each engine/provider implementation pins that exact semantic revision together with its dialect, runtime, placement, and evidence. Local open-weight MiniMax Music and the hosted MiniMax API remain distinct unless exact model, protocol, and evidence establish equivalence. The engine and semantic-owner map supplies the shared division of responsibility.

A Comfy preset pins the immutable editor/API graph, complete node and custom-node closure, model files, allowed parameter openings, output mapping and paths, network behavior, container revision, and license set. The complete engine program must pass Assimilation before execution. Callers select an admitted preset and its permitted parameters. Arbitrary caller graphs, partner/cloud nodes, runtime downloads, and ambient custom-node installation fail closed.

The Soulstone Rune pins the local container, endpoint, devices, mounts, lifecycle, resources, and admitted profile/preset references. A Portal requires separate admission of provider, endpoint, dialect, credentials, custody, cost, and reconciliation. A local pack name proves no remote equivalence.

Scroll placement pins the semantic Spell request, result, authority, recovery, and finish. Its Resolution Lock pins the chosen exact local Soulstone or Portal implementation. Comfy editor state is not a Scroll.

Pin the dialect and execution lifecycle

The official external Comfy API v2 is exposed by cloud and serverless services. Self-hosting that v2 API currently requires a separately pinned comfy-api-proxy alongside ordinary ComfyUI; its default loopback arrangement connects proxy port 8189 to ComfyUI port 8188. A deployment choosing that dialect therefore pins both services. The classic server, including /prompt, /history, /queue, /interrupt, and WebSocket communication, remains a distinct dialect.

Pin authentication, retention, and restart recovery for the chosen route. The v2 submission contract uses a single-use Idempotency-Key that rejects duplicates rather than replaying a response. The self-hosted proxy needs persistent --state-dir storage for its records; this does not preserve ComfyUI queue/history or output bytes across restart. An ambiguous submit requires lookup before deciding recovery; blind retry is inadmissible.

An admitted adapter must supply upload, submit, queue, progress, history, output, interruption, cancellation-request, and reconciliation facts. Core alone owns ServiceJobAttempt@1; the domain job links that attempt. LychD retains authority, custody, retry law, and canonical provenance. Filenames and PNG metadata may support evidence, but cannot serve as durable identity.

Measure each admitted profile

GPU placement belongs to an exact profile and instance. Separate comfy-qwen and comfy-ltx instances may use separate GPUs. An experimental multi-GPU instance requires explicit device nodes and a measured profile. Neither arrangement implies parallelism, pooled VRAM, residency, or batching.

Candidate profiles begin with Qwen image/edit, LTX-2.5 or Wan video, and MiniMax Music 3. Exact speech, role-qualified sound, and Form profiles follow. Each must independently prove inputs and outputs, languages, limits, cancellation, VRAM and offload behavior, licenses, and artifact validation. Evidence for one profile does not admit another.

Preserve compound results through handoff

For native synchronized video and sound, the exact Prism VideoJob@2 receives provider identity, the compound container digest, child streams, shared timebase, and engine facts. Sound is enabled only after MediaFacetAuthoritySet@1 declares every requested role, the consuming Composition identity and revision, and the owner-request digest. Follow Prism's compound-facet admission for detailed sound preflight and inseparable-facet behavior.

Prism links the Core attempt; Reliquary owns custody and provenance. Each requested facet needs its consuming owner's independent SemanticFacetAdmissionReceipt@1 under the linked Video contract. Unexpected sound is quarantined or deleted rather than assigned a guessed owner.

Broadcast alone judges the final editorial audiovisual relation. Engine completion supplies execution facts; passage to an application still requires the exact profile's artifact validation, preserved custody and provenance, and each requested facet's independent semantic admission.
