Summary

When the standalone catalog has no compatible release or variant, the wizard currently advances through empty fields and enables Continue after loading the optional template field. It can then create an installation with no runtime to download.

The wizard now shows an unavailable-runtime message and keeps Continue disabled. Main rejects missing selections and incomplete runtime metadata before installation-directory allocation or record creation. A shared typed build-result helper keeps validation failures within each caller's error convention, so renderer and action callers receive a localized message and migration cleans up owned staged snapshots.

Feature behavior

  • Require standalone release and variant selections and stop loading dependent fields when either catalog is empty. Guard both Continue and Save.
  • Preserve empty optional ComfyUI-version and template fields, including the latest channel and the None template choice.
  • Validate fresh standalone runtime version, release tag, variant, Python version, and download metadata in the builder and direct add-installation handler. Preserve file-list download precedence and the legacy single-download URL.
  • Return { ok: true, data } or { ok: false, message } from the build IPC. The wizard displays validation messages directly; Quick Install uses the Cannot Add dialog; express setup falls back to Configure.
  • Return structured validation failures from release updates and snapshot creation before allocating or persisting anything. Migration awaits deletion of owned staged snapshots on target-resolution failures and preserves caller-owned files.
  • Preserve other sources and tracking/adoption registration paths. Provide English and Chinese runtime messages.

The repair targets main independently of #1486. Build artifact architecture matching and non-NVIDIA hardware gating remain outside its scope.

Test coverage and validation

  • Real wizard coverage uses all four standalone fields: empty required catalogs, optional empty fields, channel switching and recovery, remote/cloud switching, and structured validation failures.
  • Builder and direct add-installation tests cover invalid metadata, valid downloads, and other source entry points.
  • Registered build/snapshot IPC handlers, the release-update action, and migration run against the real standalone builder with an empty Python version. Tests verify localized structured failures and no installation creation. Real temporary-file checks cover owned versus caller-owned migration snapshots for automatic and explicit selections, empty catalogs, and catalog-loading failures.
  • Quick Install and express setup cover both successful build results and validation failure behavior. The existing release-update integration fixture now contains a valid download URL; download/install hooks remain stubbed.
  • Eight targeted failure-path regressions fail against the previous PR head (adf1a1a8).
  • Full unit suite: 274 files; 4,754 tests passed, 2 pre-existing skips.
  • Full integration suite: 7 files; 53 tests passed.
  • All four typechecks, lint, formatting, bridge-types consistency, and git diff --check passed. No timing retries, new skips, or live-network regression tests.

No packaged application or physical runtime installation was performed. The repair handles an empty catalog and validates required runtime metadata; it does not add another hardware/platform filter.

Standalone runtime validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime validation and installation construction
src/main/sources/standalone/...
Standalone installation creation now requires release and variant selections. It validates runtime metadata and accepts valid file lists or legacy download URLs.
Structured build results across main-process flows
src/types/ipc.ts, src/main/lib/ipc/..., src/main/lib/installationBuild.integration.test.ts
Build operations now return structured success or failure results. App, snapshot, release-update, and add-installation flows handle validation failures before creating installations.
Snapshot migration failure handling
src/main/lib/standaloneMigration.ts, src/main/lib/installationBuild.integration.test.ts
Standalone migration surfaces build errors and manages asynchronous staged-file cleanup for failure and cancellation paths.
Install wizard runtime availability
src/renderer/src/views/InstallWizardModal.vue, src/renderer/src/views/InstallWizardModal.test.ts, locales/en.json, locales/zh.json
The wizard blocks unavailable runtime selections, handles source changes, and displays localized validation errors.
Quick and express installation result handling
src/renderer/src/views/QuickInstallModal.vue, src/renderer/src/views/QuickInstallModal.test.ts, src/renderer/src/panel/useFirstUseChain.ts, src/renderer/src/panel/useFirstUseChain.test.ts
Quick and express installation flows stop on build failures and use build data only after successful results.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2211a

Standalone installations with malformed download URLs may be created successfully but fail when downloading the runtime. This should be resolved before merge.

Validate download URLs before accepting runtime data.

isNonEmptyString accepts malformed values for both downloadUrl and downloadFiles[].url. The install path passes them to Electron's net.request, which requires valid http: or https: URLs. Reject invalid URLs before they reach the downloader. Add tests for malformed legacy and file-list URLs.

Proposed fix
+function isValidDownloadUrl(value: unknown): value is string {
+  if (!isNonEmptyString(value)) return false
+  try {
+    const url = new URL(value)
+    return url.protocol === 'https:' || url.protocol === 'http:'
+  } catch {
+    return false
+  }
+}
+
 ...
-            isNonEmptyString(file.url) &&
+            isValidDownloadUrl(file.url) &&
 ...
-        isNonEmptyString(data.downloadUrl)
+        isValidDownloadUrl(data.downloadUrl)
