Custom nodes on an imported workflow

Unknown classes do not fail import. They become rawNode with the original JSON preserved. That is enough to round-trip. It is not enough to type-check or to install the Python.

1. See what the live instance has

cwf inspect . --url http://127.0.0.1:8188

Missing classes print as ✗. Inspect never installs them.

2. Map classes to Registry packs

cwf resolve-nodes . --url http://127.0.0.1:8188
cwf resolve-nodes . --url http://127.0.0.1:8188 --write

--write merges verified packs into comfy.workflow.json as specVersion 2. Ambiguous verified owners exit with E_NODE_PACK_AMBIGUOUS. Unknown classes report E_NODE_PACK_UNKNOWN. A publisher source: "registry" claim is not proof.

If the Registry cannot identify an owner:

cwf node-pack add comfyui-videohelpersuite --provides VHS_LoadVideo,VHS_VideoCombine

Manual entries are source: "manual" and are not auto-installed by cwf setup.

3. Install only through setup

cwf setup . --comfy C:\ComfyUI --dry-run
cwf setup . --comfy C:\ComfyUI

Default confirmation is No. --yes approves this verified plan. It does not relax source policy.

inspect, init, and run never install executable Python.

Full contract: Custom-node dependencies.
