TL;DR

Desktop can be granted Core beta flags remotely without the user ever being told. This adds a nonblocking, once-per-feature card when a grant actually takes effect, with a link to the switch that turns beta features off.

What this does

The card is a sticky bubble anchored under the news bell — its own small WebContentsView, so the ComfyUI canvas underneath stays fully live.

Decision
Trigger Per-arg, at reportCoreBetaLaunch — the existing once-per-launch latch. A grant is announced only once it has cleared both the version window and the running core's args schema, so it reads applied, not the selected set.
Copy Generic; the card never names the raw arg.
Placement Sticky under the bell, nonblocking, user-dismissed — not auto-dismissed, since the opt-out link is the point.
Opt-out Opens Global Settings → General, then scrolls to and flashes the "Opt in to beta features" row.
Persistence betaNoticeAnnouncedArgs — an append-only list of args, written on retire, not on show.

--disable-* grants stay silent: the copy says a feature is on and points at the opt-out, which is the opposite of what a remote force-off did. (#1552 lifts this for named force-offs.)

Behaviour worth knowing

A user with 2+ installations can see the card more than once — deliberately. Each install queues its own notice, so two instances that both have the feature on each get told; they are separate windows and the feature is genuinely on in both. What makes it "once" is the persisted, global betaNoticeAnnouncedArgs, written on retire: acknowledged anywhere, silent everywhere, and it survives restarts.

Nothing here touches enrolment. Retiring the card does not leave the beta; it only stops the telling.

Correctness details

  • Arming reconciles rather than appends. It runs before the spawn is known to have succeeded, so a failed beta launch left a claim behind — and relaunching with beta off would then raise a card saying a beta feature was on, pointing at a switch the user had just flipped. Each launch is now the authority on its own command line.
  • Display state is scoped to the install the card was raised for, not the renderer, which survives attach/detach without a reload. Retiring acknowledges the install the card was raised for.
  • Popup ownership. One popup per window; the onboarding pill hint's retire path hid it unconditionally, pulling down a card it never raised.

Testing

The e2e drives the real app: a real main.py --help spawn and argparse parse, a real launch, a real port wait and attach, then the card.

beta-activation-notice-firstrun.test.ts drives a genuine first run — hint unspent. One popup serves both cards and the hint wins the collision; the seeded specs cannot see that path, and its absence hid a bug where the notice armed but never drew.

beta-activation-notice-lockdown.test.ts pins that first-use lockdown only defers the card. The bell is the anchor and is v-if="!isFirstUseLockdown", so from the template the deferral reads as terminal. The gate watcher already re-attempts when lockdown clears; this makes it a contract. Mutation-checked, each rebuilt first: without the re-attempt, "never came back after first-use lockdown cleared"; without the bell, "never drew after the launch that armed it".

Tagged @linux only. Not @windows: the interpreter stub cannot be a PE executable (the exclusion e2e/comfybuilder-launch.test.ts documents). Not @macos: the grant arrives via E2E_OPS_FLAGS_SEED because ops-flags.json resolves to Electron's userData, which ignores the HOME override — so seeding there writes the developer's own profile.

Unit: 5164 pass. Three e2e specs cover the notice; all seven cases green. Typecheck, lint and format clean.

The notice — real Windows, after the centring fix

−18.0px on the same build without the fix.

chevron-fixed-crop

A PostHog grant can turn a Core beta flag on without the user ever being
told. This adds a nonblocking, once-per-feature heads-up when that
happens, with a link to the switch that turns it back off.

The card is raised from `reportCoreBetaLaunch`, the existing once-per-launch
latch past the last cancellation gate: a grant is only worth announcing once
it has cleared BOTH the version window and the running core's args schema, so
the notice reads `applied` rather than the selected set and inherits both
gates. `--disable-*` grants stay silent — the copy says a feature is on and
points at the opt-out, which is the opposite of what a remote force-off did.

Arming RECONCILES rather than appends: it is reached before the spawn is known
to have succeeded, so the next launch of an install is the authority on what
is actually on its command line. Without that, a beta launch that failed to
boot left a claim behind, and relaunching with beta switched off would raise a
card saying a beta feature was on — pointing at a switch the user had just
flipped. Dropping a claim also releases it for other installs.

Persistence is a per-arg list (`betaNoticeAnnouncedArgs`) rather than a
boolean, so a beta feature granted months from now still gets its own
heads-up; it is append-only, so a grant revoked and re-granted stays silent
the second time. It is written when the user RETIRES the card, never when it
is merely shown, so a notice nobody saw replays instead of being spent. The
list is cached in memory because `settings.get` re-reads and re-parses the
whole file, and its retry path blocks on `Atomics.wait` — which arming would
otherwise pay on the spawn critical path.

Display state is scoped to the install the card was raised for, not to the
renderer. The title bar survives attach/detach without a reload, so a window
that has shown one install's card must still show another's, and retiring must
acknowledge the install the card was RAISED for — acknowledging whatever the
host happens to be pointing at now would permanently consume a notice the user
never saw.

The card reuses the sticky coachmark popup, which grows a `kind` (so one popup
can serve two owners and route retirements correctly), an optional secondary
action, and an ownership check — the onboarding hint's retire path hides that
popup unconditionally, which would otherwise pull down a card it never raised.
The beak is positioned from the anchor rather than fixed at the card's centre,
so it keeps pointing at the bell when the card clamps against a window edge;
an e2e assertion pins that alignment numerically, since a screenshot is
evidence and not a guarantee.

The action opens Global Settings on the beta opt-in row, scrolls to it and
flashes it — landing on the tab alone leaves the row below the fold. Either
button retires the card: acting on it is acknowledging it.

E2E is tagged `@linux @macos`, never `@windows`: the interpreter stub cannot
be a PE executable, so the launch it drives can never start there — the same
exclusion `e2e/comfybuilder-launch.test.ts` documents. The grant is seeded
through `E2E_OPS_FLAGS_SEED`, mirroring the existing `E2E_SETTINGS_SEED` hook,
because the harness cannot place that file itself: it resolves to Electron's
`userData`, and macOS ignores the HOME override for it. Screenshots go to
Playwright's output dir and the HTML report rather than into the tree.

Nothing here touches enrolment. Retiring the card does not leave the beta;
it only stops the telling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds per-installation beta activation notices. Applied Core beta grants flow through IPC to a shared title-bar coachmark. The coachmark supports dismissal, Settings navigation, anchored positioning, field highlighting, persistence, and Linux end-to-end validation.

Changes

Beta activation notice

Layer / File(s) Summary
Notice state and IPC
src/main/lib/betaActivationNotice.ts, src/main/lib/ipc/..., src/main/settings.ts, src/types/ipc.ts, src/preload/api.ts
Applied beta grants create per-installation pending notices. IPC reads and acknowledges notices. Acknowledged arguments persist in settings and remain excluded from telemetry.
Shared coachmark infrastructure
src/main/popups/titleCoachmark.ts, src/preload/comfyTitleBarPreload.ts, src/preload/comfyTitleTooltipPreload.ts, src/renderer/src/comfyTitleTooltip/TitleTooltipApp.vue
Coachmarks now identify their owner, support a secondary action, and position the beak relative to the anchor. Dismissal and action events retain the coachmark kind.
Title-bar notice behavior
src/renderer/src/comfyTitleBar/TitleBarApp.vue, src/renderer/src/comfyTitleBar/useBetaActivationNotice.ts, src/renderer/src/comfyTitleBar/useCentralPillCoachmark.ts, src/renderer/src/comfyTitleBar/TitleBarApp.test.ts, locales/en.json, locales/zh.json
The title bar displays pending beta notices from the announcement bell. It coordinates notice ownership with the onboarding hint and acknowledges dismissal or Settings actions.
Settings deep link
src/main/popups/titlePopup.ts, src/renderer/src/comfyTitlePopup/*, src/renderer/src/views/comfyUISettings/SettingsSectionList.vue, src/renderer/src/comfyTitlePopup/GlobalSettingsView.test.ts
Settings navigation carries a field identifier. The General settings view scrolls to and highlights the beta opt-in field.
End-to-end validation and fixtures
e2e/beta-activation-notice.test.ts, e2e/support/*, src/main/lib/opsFlag.ts, .gitignore
Linux fixtures seed beta flags and launch a fake ComfyUI process. E2E tests verify notice content, placement, size, Settings navigation, screenshots, and persistence. Generated evidence is ignored.

P1 Badge Isolate the macOS ops-flag seed from the real profile

When the new @macos E2E spec runs, configDir() resolves to the developer's actual Electron userData, so these writes permanently replace both their real ops-flags.json and its backup with the test grant; harness cleanup only removes homeDir and never restores these files. This can unexpectedly enable the seeded rollout in later app launches and lets subsequent macOS tests inherit shared state, so the harness must redirect userData or save and restore the original cache.

Confirmed, and not fixed — recording the bound rather than quietly closing it.

maybeSeedFromEnv does write the real ops-flags.json and its .bak (src/main/lib/opsFlag.ts), and nothing restores them. Two gates gate it: process.env['E2E'] !== '1' returns early, and inside the try, if (app.isPackaged) return. So it can never touch a shipped install. What remains is exactly your case: a developer's own unpackaged checkout running the @macos spec, whose profile then carries the seeded grant until they clear it. CI runners are ephemeral, so the inherited-shared-state half does not arise there.

It writes the real path deliberately, and the doc comment says why: the harness isolates a run by overriding HOME, but configDir() resolves to Electron's userData, and macOS Application Support ignores that override — a file the harness writes under its temp home is never read. settings.json's own maybeSeedFromEnv has the identical constraint and solves it the identical way, which is the precedent this follows rather than invents.

A real fix is the app honouring a userData override under E2E, or snapshot-and-restore around the seed — a change to a shared path, not to this feature, which is why it is not in this PR. Say the word if you would rather it land here than as a follow-up.

P1 Badge Allocate the fake ComfyUI port dynamically

If port 49517 is already occupied on a developer machine or shared runner, the stub either exits with EADDRINUSE and the serial suite times out, or the launcher can mistake the unrelated listener for the booted fixture. The port should be allocated per worker/run rather than hard-coded, especially because this repository explicitly disallows flaky tests.

Fixed. The port is no longer hard-coded: e2e/support/fakeComfyInstall.ts allocates it by binding 0 and reading back what the OS assigned, so nothing collides with a developer machine or a shared runner.

P2 Badge Reset the renderer latch for later grants

After a notice is dismissed, retiredFor permanently suppresses this installation for the lifetime of the title-bar renderer. If the user updates ComfyUI without restarting Desktop and relaunches the same installation, a second grant from the already-cached payload can newly satisfy its version/schema gates and main correctly queues it, but this guard prevents the promised once-per-feature notice from ever being read or shown until Desktop itself restarts.

Fixed, and the fix is the second option you named. retiredKeys is now a Set keyed on noticeKey(installationId, notice.args) rather than a per-installation boolean — the args are the card's identity, so a later distinct grant for the same install produces a different key and is not suppressed. shownForInstall is cleared on retire, so it only ever guards one card at a time rather than the renderer's lifetime.

Your scenario — update Core without restarting Desktop, relaunch the same install, second grant newly passes its gates — now shows the new card.

Comment thread src/main/lib/opsFlag.ts
Codex P1 + CodeRabbit + the Cursor panel, on d0b3ee7.

**E2E is Linux-only now.** macOS was failing CI, and the cause is that nothing
isolates it: `configDir()` resolves to Electron's `userData`, which ignores the
harness's HOME override, so the ops-flag seed was writing into the real profile
— leaving the seeded rollout enabled after the run and leaking state into later
tests. Redirecting `userData` needs a change to app startup and does not belong
here, so the specs say `@linux` and the fixture refuses to build elsewhere.

**The stub's port is allocated at run time** rather than hard-coded. A constant
collides with whatever else is on the machine, and the failure is either
EADDRINUSE or the launcher mistaking an unrelated listener for the fixture —
this repo does not tolerate flaky tests.

**The renderer latch is keyed on the notice, not the install.** Keying it on
the installation permanently suppressed that install for the renderer's
lifetime, and the title bar survives attach/detach without a reload — so a
second grant that only now clears its version gate could never be shown. Keying
on the args lets a genuinely different card through while still swallowing a
repeat of one already dealt with.

**Acknowledgement carries the args the card displayed.** Re-deriving them at
retire time acknowledges whatever is queued then, and a relaunch can re-arm
while the sticky card floats — persisting a grant the user was never shown,
which the append-only list makes unannounceable forever. The queue is also only
updated once the write succeeds.

**A show attempt claims an in-flight marker before its await**, since the gate
watcher and the post-hint retry fire independently and could both raise a card.

**The anchor assertion allows a clamped layout**: it requires the card to cover
the bell, and only requires exact centring when nothing clamped it. The beak's
own tracking is covered by `positionCoachmark`'s unit tests.

**`opsFlag` checks the E2E env var before touching `app.isPackaged`**, so
importing it outside the Electron runtime needs no electron mock.

🟠 Highretire() sets retiredFor = installationId before awaiting acknowledgeBetaNotice, and never rolls it back if the IPC/persist fails. Main then still holds the pending entry but this renderer will refuse to show the card again for that install, so the notice is silently lost for the rest of the session; set retiredFor only after the await resolves, or reset it in the catch.

Rejected: deliberate, and tested. Rolling retiredKeys back on a failed acknowledge means the same card re-raises on every subsequent gate transition for as long as the IPC keeps failing — a loop, for a card the user has already dismissed. Nothing is persisted on that path, so the notice replays on the next app start rather than being lost outright. Pinned by "does not re-raise the same card when acknowledging it failed".

The latch is also no longer keyed on the installation (your other finding) — it is keyed on the notice, so a later distinct grant for the same install is unaffected either way.

🟠 HighshownFor/retiredFor latch per installation for the renderer's whole lifetime, not per notice, so once an install's card has been shown or retired a later distinct grant for that same install (e.g. stop and relaunch in one session, or a second beta arg) is blocked at this guard even though main reports it pending.

retiredKeys holds noticeKey(installationId, notice.args); shownForInstall is cleared in retire() and in forgetWithoutAcknowledging(). A later distinct grant for the same install therefore hashes to a different key and is not blocked at the guard.

🟡 Medium — On a direct retarget between two non-null installation ids, this callback hides the old card but nothing re-evaluates the new install: the gate watcher at line ~674 depends only on isInstallLess/lockdown refs, which do not change, so inst-2's pending notice is never queried for the rest of the session.

Fixed. app.isPackaged moved inside the try, and the comment states the contract it was breaking — readPersistedFile's whole job is to degrade to "no cache", and a partially-mocked app throwing was taking that down with it.

The env check (process.env['E2E'] !== '1') stays outside, deliberately: it is a plain string read, and keeping it on the common path is what lets unit tests import this module without mocking electron at all.

Fixed, both halves. The queue entry is now dropped only after the write is read back:

settings.set(BETA_NOTICE_ANNOUNCED_ARGS_KEY, merged)
const persisted = new Set(readAnnouncedBetaArgs())
if (!covered.every((arg) => persisted.has(arg))) return

Your point about the catch never firing was the load-bearing one: settings.set logs and returns on a fail-closed read rather than throwing, so exception handling could never have caught this. Reading the value back is the only check that actually observes whether it landed. The in-memory cache that recorded the unconfirmed write is gone entirely (see the thread on announcedCache), so there is no longer a second place for the claim to diverge.

notifyRendered does the same check on its own ack.

🟡 MediumannouncedCache is only invalidated by this module's own write, but the cache comment's invariant ("this module is the only writer of the key") is false: betaNoticeAnnouncedArgs is a schema-known key reachable through the generic set-setting IPC handler and any settings import/reset path.

You were right about the invariant, and the cache is gone rather than patched.

grep -c Cache src/main/lib/betaActivationNotice.ts now returns 0. readAnnouncedBetaArgs() reads settings.get on every call, so a write through the generic set-setting handler, a settings import or a reset is picked up immediately instead of leaving a stale copy for the process lifetime.

Deleting it rather than adding invalidation was the cheaper correctness: the comment claiming "this module is the only writer" was the actual defect, and any invalidation scheme would have had to keep that claim true forever.

Split verdict: the validation half is fixed, the sender-binding half is a deliberate decline.

Fixed — the handler no longer trusts the renderer's argument:

if (typeof installationId !== 'string' || installationId === '') return

and shownArgs is refused rather than filtered when malformed, which is the part worth spelling out: filtering [123] down to [] would read as "the renderer named nothing", and the fallback for that is to acknowledge the whole queue — so a junk array would have retired notices the user was never shown. Only an omitted value or a non-empty array of strings is accepted.

Not done — verifying event.sender is the title bar attached to that install. The bridge reaches only our own renderers loading local content, and the worst outcome of the cross-install case is a missed heads-up: an arg gets marked announced and the card never appears. No privilege is gained and no user data is exposed. Binding sender to install means threading window-to-install ownership into the settings IPC layer, which is a larger change than the risk supports. Overrule me if you read the impact differently.

🟢 Low — When cardWidth < 2 * COACHMARK_BEAK_EDGE_MARGIN (28px), beakMargin exceeds 0.5 and the clamp inverts: Math.min(1 - beakMargin, ...) returns a value below beakMargin (negative for a near-zero width). bubble.width comes unvalidated from the renderer's notifyRendered, so a collapsed measurement yields an out-of-range fraction that only the renderer's own re-clamp rescues, pinning the beak to the corner the margin exists to avoid.

The clamp on the next line can no longer invert, so a collapsed bubble.width from notifyRendered yields a fraction inside [0, 1] instead of one the renderer's re-clamp has to rescue.

Set the seed latch only after persistence succeeds.

e2eSeedApplied becomes true before mkdirSync and the seed writes complete. The code also clears E2E_OPS_FLAGS_SEED before those operations. If directory creation or persistence fails, later reads skip the seed and the E2E run continues without its rollout state. Set the latch and clear the environment variable only after both files persist successfully.

Based on learnings: only mark persisted work done after its persistence succeeds.

Declining this one, with reasoning rather than a silent skip.

The latch is set first on purpose, and reordering it trades one failure for a worse one. delete process.env['E2E_OPS_FLAGS_SEED'] runs before the write so the payload cannot be inherited by spawned children; a retry on a later read only helps if the var is still there, so "retry on failure" really means "hold the seed in the environment for longer". That widens a leak to close a case that is already loud.

And the failure is loud. A seed that does not land means the grant is absent, so the spec's assertions on the card fail — plus the console.warn. A retry would convert a red test into a possibly-green one, which is the opposite of what this repo's no-flaky-tests rule wants. Happy to revisit if you see a path that keeps both.

Brings in the base branch (merge, not rebase — #1551 is non-draft and a
reviewer may have read it) and resolves the overlap: the base's per-notice
latch and in-flight marker now operate on this PR's richer notice object
rather than a bare arg list.

Cursor panel (10 findings, 8/8 reviewers) and CodeRabbit, on b57efe2:

**Acknowledgement names what the card displayed.** A card covers one direction,
so a mixed enable/withdraw launch deliberately leaves the rest queued — and
re-deriving the covered set at retire time would consume the leftover too.
Combined with the base's fix, retiring now persists exactly the args shown.

**The payload `description` is restricted to printable characters.** It is
rendered verbatim in desktop chrome beside a Settings action, so newlines, C0
controls and bidi overrides (U+202E) are refused and fall back to the generic
wording — a mistyped operator payload as much as anything else.

**De-duplication claims the arg before the silent skip**, so
`[{arg: X, silent}, {arg: X}]` no longer announces the very thing the first
entry asked to keep quiet.

**`direction` is validated at the IPC boundary.** An unrecognised value fell
through to the copy callback, whose `=== 'disabled'` test would then pick the
"is on" wording for a withdrawal.

**The i18n keys are static rather than composed**, since missing-key warnings
are disabled and a rename would otherwise degrade to a card titled with the
literal key.

**The named e2e spec is `@linux`** for the same reasons as its companion.

…p IPC

Cursor panel (10 findings, 8/8 reviewers) on d0b3ee7, plus CodeRabbit.

**The announced-args cache is gone.** It was added to answer a NITPICK about a
blocking read on the launch path, and then produced two findings of its own:
its stated invariant ("this module is the only writer") was false — the key is
schema-known and reachable through the generic `set-setting` IPC and any
settings import or reset — so a stale entry could replay an announced notice or
suppress a new one for the whole process lifetime. The read it saved was one of
several the launch path already performs. Removing it deletes the problem
rather than layering invalidation on top.

Acknowledgement now confirms the write by reading it back: `settings.set`
declines to persist while settings.json is unreadable and does not throw, so a
bare call was not evidence the value landed, and dropping the queue entry on
that basis lost the card with nothing on disk.

**Popup IPC hardening.** `Number.isFinite` on the anchor coordinates — NaN and
Infinity survive `Math.round` and reach `setBounds`, which throws in main. The
beak margin is capped at the midpoint so a collapsed measurement cannot invert
the clamp and pin the beak to the corner the margin exists to avoid. Dismiss
and action now echo the card's `configToken`, so a click arriving from a card
the popup has since replaced is discarded instead of being attributed to the
new owner — which could have acknowledged an unseen beta notice via a click on
the onboarding hint.

**A retarget between two real installs re-queries.** The gate watcher keys on
install-less/lockdown, neither of which moves on a retarget, so the new
install's pending notice was never asked for again.

**Both beta-notice handlers validate the installation id**, since they drive a
persistent, append-only write from renderer-supplied input.

**The opsFlag seed guard moved inside its `try`**, so a partially-mocked `app`
cannot take down `readPersistedFile`'s degrade-to-no-cache contract.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject malformed or empty shownArgs arrays.

When a renderer sends [123], the handler filters it to []. acknowledgeBetaActivationNotice treats an empty array like an omitted argument and persists the entire queued notice set. The handler does not validate _event.sender, so no sender check blocks this path.

Accept only omitted shownArgs or a non-empty array that contains only strings.

-        ? shownArgs.filter((a): a is string => typeof a === 'string')

CodeRabbit, on eb4a944.

A show attempt that arrives while one is in flight is now queued rather than
discarded. The in-flight read belongs to whichever install was current when it
started, so a retarget mid-read left the old result failing its id check and
nobody asking about the new install until some unrelated gate transition — a
hole in the retarget fix from the previous round.

The retired-card identity now includes the installation, not just the args.
Two installs can hold the same arg list once an acknowledgement has failed to
persist (the announced list is what otherwise keeps them distinct), and one
install's dismissal should not silence the other's card. The displayed args are
carried alongside so retirement still acknowledges exactly those.

…empty

CodeRabbit, on eb4a944 — reported only in the review body, with no inline
comment, so it is worth recording where it came from.

Filtering `[123]` down to `[]` made malformed input indistinguishable from an
omitted argument, and the fallback for omitted is to acknowledge the entire
queued set. A junk array from any renderer holding the bridge could therefore
retire notices the user was never shown — permanently, since the announced list
is append-only. The handler now accepts an omitted value or a non-empty array of
strings, and refuses anything else.

A test pins the fallback contract the handler relies on.

P2 Badge Resolve notice copy after locale synchronization

Pass reactive getters or translate when the card is shown instead of snapshotting these four strings during setup. The title-bar i18n instance starts in English and syncLocale() does not run until onMounted, so a user whose persisted locale is Chinese can receive this notice before synchronization with English copy; even after synchronization or a live language change, these stored strings remain English for every later activation notice in this renderer.

You are right on both halves, and the second is the one that bites: because the strings were captured once at setup, the card stayed English for the rest of the renderer's life even after syncLocale() landed or the user changed language live — not just for the first card.

The four options are now () => string and are called where the card is built. Worth noting this made #1551 correct on its own: #1552 already resolves copy lazily through its copyFor callback, so the bug only existed on this PR — and the two are meant to be mergeable independently, so it had to be fixed here rather than inherited.

Pinned with a test at the composable rather than through the mounted component, so it does not depend on i18n plumbing. Both cases fail against the eager snapshot (expected 'english-copy' to be 'localised-copy') and pass against the getters.

The four card strings were read with `t()` during setup and passed as plain
strings. The title bar's i18n instance starts in English and `syncLocale()`
does not run until mount, so a user whose persisted locale is not English
could get an English card — and because the strings were captured once, every
later notice in that renderer stayed English even after the locale synced or
the user changed language live.

Pass getters instead and call them where the card is built. PR #1552 already
does this via its `copyFor` callback; this makes PR #1551 correct on its own,
which matters because the two are meant to be mergeable independently.

Test pins the contract at the composable rather than through the mounted
component, so it does not depend on i18n plumbing: both cases fail against the
eager snapshot ('english-copy' where 'localised-copy' is expected) and pass
against the getters.

…ntract

Two findings on this PR's head.

The named-payload spec hard-coded port 49519 while its companion spec already
reserves one at runtime via `reserveFreePort()`. A developer machine or CI
runner with that port taken fails the stub with EADDRINUSE, or worse, the
launcher mistakes the unrelated listener for the fixture. This repo has no
tolerance for flaky tests; use the same helper.

`get-pending-beta-notice` still returned `[]` for an invalid installation id,
left over from PR #1551 where the contract was `string[]`. This PR changed it
to `BetaActivationNotice | null`, so that path returned a value outside its own
declared union. The renderer survived it only because `pendingNotice()`
validates `args` defensively; return `null` as the contract says.

Conflicts in the copy plumbing, resolved in favour of this branch: `copyFor`
is already a callback invoked when the card is built, so it satisfies #1551's
fix rather than needing it. Carried that PR's reasoning into the `copyFor`
doc comment so the "why lazy" survives the supersede, and adapted its new
composable test to this branch's `copyFor` option and notice object.

P2 Badge Reconcile a displayed notice when relaunch enters loading

When the same installation is relaunched while its beta card is still open, isLoadingLockdown only prevents new shows; it does not hide or forget the displayed card. The old card therefore remains over the progress takeover, and after main re-arms the installation with a newer grant set, the loading-to-ready watcher cannot display it because shownForInstall is still set. If the user dismisses after boot, only the old displayed args are acknowledged and the newly pending args remain stranded until another launch. Hide and forget the current card when loading begins so the ready transition can query the latest queue.

Confirmed and fixed in the same commit, ba10ca6a — same root cause as the move/resize finding, so they share the fix.

Verified the mechanism: isLoadingLockdown appeared only in gatePasses(), so it suppressed new shows and nothing else. Your chain holds exactly as described — the stale card floats over the progress takeover, and because shownForInstall is still set, the loading-to-ready watcher cannot raise the re-armed queue.

The gate watcher now hides a displayed card when the gate closes for any reason, which routes through the same auto-hide path and therefore the same forget. So the card comes down, nothing is acknowledged, and the reopened gate queries the newer queue rather than replaying the old args.

P2 Badge Restore the notice after window movement auto-hides it

If the user moves or resizes the host while this card is visible, titleCoachmark.ts auto-hides the shared popup on will-move/move/resize, but no event clears this composable's shownForInstall. Every later maybeShow() then exits at this guard, so the supposedly user-retired sticky notice disappears for the rest of the renderer session without being acknowledged. Either keep the popup visible/reposition it or notify the owner to forget and retry after the move.

Confirmed and fixed in ba10ca6a. This was the more serious of the two: moving a window is an ordinary thing to do, and the outcome was a notice the user never read being neither displayed nor acknowledged for the rest of the session.

Verified the mechanism rather than taking it on trust — hideOnParentEvents: ['will-move', 'move', 'resize'] calls dismiss, and titleCoachmark passed no onHide, so nothing reached the renderer.

Fixed via the two mechanisms already in the codebase rather than new ones: the view's existing onHide hook (unit-tested at embeddedPopupView.test.ts:318 as firing on manual and auto-dismiss paths alike) now sends coachmark-auto-hidden, and the renderer routes it to the existing forgetWithoutAcknowledging(). Two details worth naming:

  • Addressed by kind. One popup backs both cards, so a broadcast would let the pill hint's auto-hide clear the beta notice's state. There is a test that fails if the routing is made a broadcast.
  • Suppressed while retire drives the hide. Retirement already reports itself, and the duplicate would tell the owner to forget a card it had just acknowledged.

Forgetting is deliberately not acknowledging: main keeps the pending notice, so it replays rather than being silently spent.

Two review findings with one root cause: the composable's display state was
never reconciled with a hide it did not initiate, so it stayed latched on a
card that is no longer on screen and turned away every later show.

Window move/resize. `titleCoachmark` auto-hides the popup on `will-move`,
`move` and `resize` because the anchor goes stale, but nothing told the
renderer. Moving a window is ordinary, so the common outcome was a notice the
user never read, neither displayed nor acknowledged, gone for the session.
Main now sends `coachmark-auto-hidden` from the view's existing `onHide` hook,
addressed with `kind` so one popup serving two cards reaches the right owner,
and suppressed while `retire` drives the hide — retirement reports itself, and
a duplicate would tell the owner to forget a card it had just acknowledged.
The renderer forgets WITHOUT acknowledging, so main keeps the notice and it
replays rather than being silently spent.

Relaunch during loading. The gate only suppressed new shows, so a card already
up floated over the progress takeover and left the composable latched: main
re-armed the install with a fresh grant set and the loading-to-ready
transition could not raise it. The gate watcher now hides a displayed card
when the gate closes, which routes through the same forget path, so the newer
queue is what gets queried when it reopens.

Two tests, both verified to fail without the fix: re-showing after an
auto-hide (`expected 1 to be 2`) and kind-routing, which fails if the notice
is broadcast to both composables instead of addressed. A third test asserting
only that nothing was acknowledged was dropped — it passed with the fix
reverted, so it pinned nothing.

…ce object

The re-show test merged from #1551 mocks the pending read with a bare arg
array; on this branch that read returns `{ args, direction, description }`,
so the mock fell through `pendingNotice`'s validation and no second card was
raised. Same adaptation the shownArgs test needed.

…n auto-hide

The auto-hide wiring introduces one specific hazard: retirement hides the
popup itself, so main's auto-hide notice follows every dismiss. If forgetting
ever cleared `retiredKeys`, an acknowledged card would come straight back.

It does not today — `retire` records the key before hiding, and
`forgetWithoutAcknowledging` deliberately leaves the retired set alone — but
nothing held that invariant in place. Verified the test catches a regression:
making forget clear `retiredKeys` resurrects the card (`expected 2 to be 1`).

Clean merge of the production change; the test needed this branch's shape as
usual — a `CoreBetaGrant` literal rather than an arg string, and a nullable
`peek`. Caught by typecheck rather than the suite: the tests passed with a
`maxCoreVersion: null` that the type does not allow (it is optional, not
nullable), which is the sort of thing only the type checker sees.

Note on a behaviour change made during review, kept out of the description to stop it growing.

Cross-install claim suppression was removed. An earlier revision of this branch kept an in-memory set of args claimed by in-flight launches, so when two installs launched with the same fresh grant only the first could raise a card.

It was removed for two reasons:

  1. It silenced the wrong thing. A claim lost in a race was indistinguishable from a card already shown, so an install whose feature really was on could be permanently silent — the exact failure this notice exists to prevent.
  2. It could not be made correct cheaply. Keeping it meant tracking every install that lost a race, then tracking process liveness so a released claim was not handed to an install that had already exited. Three review findings in one round came out of that machinery.

The persisted betaNoticeAnnouncedArgs list is the real "once ever" and, unlike anything in memory, survives a restart. Dropping the claim set took betaActivationNotice.ts from 212 to 179 lines.

Happy to restore first-claim-wins if you would rather have it — it would come back with contender and liveness tracking attached. Say the word.

Comment thread src/main/lib/betaActivationNotice.ts Outdated
Christian's review finding, and he is right: "acknowledged anywhere, silent
everywhere" did not hold for cards ALREADY queued.

Queues are per-install, so acknowledging persists the arg but clears only that
install's queue. Arm A and B both with `--enable-assets`, then have A's user
dismiss while B is still booting: B's copy is already in memory, and its title
bar was served a card for something the user had just dismissed.

The existing `stays silent everywhere` test arms B AFTER A acknowledges, so it
only ever exercised the arm-time filter and could not see this ordering. That
is the gap — the test was written from the implementation rather than from the
contract.

`peekBetaActivationNotice` now filters the announced list too. Filtered rather
than dropped, per the suggestion: an install queued for two grants keeps the
one still unseen when only the other has been announced.

Two tests, both failing before the fix: the ordering itself, and the
partial case (`expected [assets, agent] to deeply equal [agent]`).

Taken rather than documented-as-intended, because the brief asked for this
explicitly — "persist that it's been shown (so it doesn't nag)". A second card
for an arg the user just dismissed is the nagging it named.

Kept this branch's grant objects and `resolveBetaActivationNotice`, so the
filter runs before the wording layer: a card that survives it is worded for
the grants it actually represents, not for ones already announced elsewhere.
Tests adapted to grants and the nullable peek.

P2 Badge Wait for window movement to actually settle

During a window drag lasting longer than 250 ms, this timer reopens and focuses the coachmark while the window is still moving. The intended debounce cannot be extended by later move events because EmbeddedPopupView.hide() invokes onHide only on the first open-to-hidden transition; subsequent movement while already hidden produces no callback to reset this timer. Once it reopens, the next move hides it again, causing the card to flash and repeatedly take focus throughout a slow drag. Drive the delay from every movement event or otherwise wait for a real end-of-movement signal before calling maybeShow().

Confirmed and fixed in 68231a5a. The mechanism you identified is the whole problem: EmbeddedPopupView.hide() fires onHide only on the first open-to-hidden transition, the popup hides on the FIRST move of a drag, and every later move is a no-op hide with no callback. So the renderer-side timer had nothing to extend it with — it expired mid-gesture, showOnTop took focus, the next move hid it again.

Main sees every move/resize, so the debounce moved there: a per-popup settle timer that sends coachmark-settled once the window has been still for 250ms. The renderer now does no timing at all.

Split into two signals rather than reusing one, because they want opposite timing:

  • coachmark-auto-hidden stays immediate — it is a state correction, and a composable left latched is exactly what strands the card.
  • coachmark-settled is the cue to re-show, once, at the end of the gesture.

Test drives three hides with no settle and asserts nothing is raised, then the settle and asserts exactly one card. It fails against a re-show driven by the auto-hide itself (expected 2 to be 1).

…ible

The renderer-side debounce could not work, and the reason is the part worth
recording: `EmbeddedPopupView.hide()` fires `onHide` only on the first
open-to-hidden transition. The popup hides on the FIRST move of a drag, so
every later move is a no-op hide with no callback — nothing to extend the
timer with. It expired mid-gesture, reopened the card, and `showOnTop` took
focus; the next move hid it again. A slow drag flashed the card and stole
focus repeatedly.

Main sees every `move`/`resize`, so the debounce belongs there. It now holds a
per-popup settle timer and sends `coachmark-settled` once the window has been
still for 250ms. The renderer does no timing of its own.

- `coachmark-auto-hidden` stays immediate. It is a state correction, and a

P2 Badge Clear activation notices when the process exits

If ComfyUI exits after completing boot but before this notice is retired, both process-termination handlers leave the pending claim intact and do not hide an already displayed card. onComfyExited keeps the window attached to the installation and only swaps its body to the lifecycle panel, so the title-bar gate remains open and can continue showing “A beta feature is on” even though the process has stopped. Clear the pending claim and reconcile any displayed notice on successful post-boot exits as well as launch failures.

Disputing this one rather than fixing it, and your mechanism is right — it is the premise I think does not hold.

Confirmed the mechanism: gatePasses() reads install-less, the two lockdowns and suppression. Nothing about process liveness. So yes, a card can be raised or stay up after Core has exited.

But the copy was written past-tense for exactly this: "This instance started with a beta feature enabled. You can turn beta features off in Settings." That statement is still true after the process stops — the instance did start with it. The title, "A beta feature is on", is present-tense about the setting, which is also still true: the setting is on, and turning it off is precisely what the card offers. So there is no false claim to withdraw, and the Settings link stays useful whether or not Core is running — arguably more useful after a crash, if the user suspects the beta feature.

On the pending claim surviving: armBetaActivationNotice replaces on every launch, so a stale claim cannot produce a double-show. If the user never relaunches, nothing is shown at all.

What is left is a timing judgement — a notice about a beta feature is odd next to a lifecycle panel — not a correctness bug. I am declining it because the fix means teaching the process-exit handlers about beta notices, and this branch has just spent several rounds removing exactly that kind of cross-cutting state: a global claim set plus a contenders map plus process-liveness tracking, which between them produced three findings in one round before I deleted them.

Happy to be overruled — if @christian-byrne or Simon wants the card reconciled on exit, say so and I will take it. Recording the reasoning here so the decision is visible either way rather than silently skipped.

📸 Beta-activation notice — visual proof (Playwright e2e over the real app, head 68231a5a)

The notice card, anchored under the news bell, floating over a live ComfyUI canvas launched with --enable-assets:

Beta notice card under the news bell

Its Settings action opens Desktop Settings → Preferences and highlights the "Opt in to beta features" row:

Settings opt-in row highlighted

Images uploaded under @synap5e's user account (GitHub App tokens can't mint attachments). Real-Windows capture to follow.

The Windows QA found the notice never drawing on a real first-run install.
Reproduced on Linux by removing ONE line from my own e2e — the
`hasSeenCentralPillHint: true` seed — so this was never a platform bug.

Root cause, from instrumenting maybeShow's early returns:
  ["PASSED","bail:shownForInstall","bail:shownForInstall"]
The beta card DOES show. Then the onboarding hint configures the same popup —
one popup serves both cards — and `entry.kind = kind` reassigned the owner
with nobody telling the old one. The composable went on believing its card was
up and refused every later show; dismissing the hint retired the HINT, so the
notice stayed armed in main and invisible for the rest of the session.

`onCoachmarkAutoHidden`, added earlier today for exactly this class of
problem, does not cover it: it fires from `EmbeddedPopupView.onHide`, which
only fires on a real open-to-hidden transition. Showing a new config OVER an
existing one is not a hide. I covered displacement-by-hiding and missed
displacement-by-replacement.

Main now emits `coachmark-displaced` with the OUTGOING kind before reassigning,
gated on `pendingConfigToken !== null` so it cannot fire on the first claim —
only on a genuine hand-over. The renderer routes it to the displaced owner's
`forgetWithoutAcknowledging()`: forget, never acknowledge, so main keeps the
notice and it replays rather than being silently spent.

THE SPEC MATTERS MORE THAN THE FIX. `beta-activation-notice-firstrun.test.ts`
drives the real collision — hint takes the popup, notice confirmed armed
underneath, dismiss, assert the card draws. Both existing specs seed the hint
as already seen, which is precisely why a green suite shipped a build where
the card never appeared. Verified both ways: passes with the fix, fails
without it with "beta notice never drew after the hint was dismissed".

Unit test pins the kind-routing, also verified red without the handler.

The new first-run e2e needs no change — it asserts the GENERIC card, which is
what a payload with no description produces here too.

Note moved out of the description, where the lint correctly flagged it as process rather than change:

src/main/lib/process.test.ts > findAvailablePort fails intermittently on hardcoded ports 49500/49600. Pre-existing and not from this branch — it touches neither that file nor process.ts. #1549 fixes it by replacing the constants with an OS-assigned basePort; until that lands, pre-#1549 branches still hit it under parallel load.

Every review thread on this PR now carries a disposition, so a human reviewer does not have to work out which findings are still live. Sixteen threads from the opening passes had been acted on in code but never answered in-thread; that is fixed.

Fixed (11) — dynamic fixture port · notice-keyed renderer latch (was per-install, permanent) · Number.isFinite anchor guards · retarget between two real installs re-queries · app.isPackaged inside the try · acknowledge persists-then-reads-back before dropping the queue entry · configToken echoed and matched on dismiss/action · beakMargin clamped to 0.5 · IPC argument validation (refuse, not filter) · fixture-port race absorbed by an EADDRINUSE retry.

Obsolete (3) — all three depended on the cross-install claim bookkeeping (appliedByInstallation / claimedArgs()) or the announcedCache, and both are deleted. Queues are per-install; the persisted announced list, re-filtered on every read, is the only global suppressor. That is a deliberate behaviour change and it is described in the PR body.

Deliberately not fixed (3), each with reasoning on its own thread and an explicit invitation to overrule:

  1. macOS ops-flag seeding writes the real profile. Gated behind E2E=1 and !app.isPackaged, so it cannot touch a shipped install — the exposure is a developer running the macOS spec on their own checkout. The proper fix is a userData override under E2E, which is a shared-path change rather than a change to this feature.
  2. acknowledge-beta-notice does not verify event.sender owns the install. The id and args are validated; the residual worst case is a missed heads-up, with no privilege gained.
  3. The ops-flag seed latch is set before the write. Reordering it means holding the seed in the environment longer, and a failed seed already surfaces as a red test rather than a silent skip.

One of these findings also turned out to be the tail of a real bug: the same unannounced popup hand-over, in the other direction, is why the notice armed but never drew on a genuine first run. Fixed in bcac4cdf with coachmark-displaced, and covered by e2e/beta-activation-notice-firstrun.test.ts.

The card's anchor is the news bell, and the bell is `v-if="!isFirstUseLockdown"`.
Read from the template alone that looks terminal: no anchor, no card, deferred to
a later launch — a whole first session running a beta the user was never told
about and cannot opt out of, which would defeat a notice whose purpose is
informed activation.

It is not terminal, and nothing pinned that. The gate watcher already lists
`isFirstUseLockdown` among its sources, so it re-attempts the notice when
lockdown clears, in the same session. This spec makes that a contract instead of
an implementation detail someone could drop while tidying the watcher.

Verified both ways rather than asserted:

  - remove the watcher's re-attempt  -> "beta notice never came back after
    first-use lockdown cleared"
  - never mount the bell             -> "beta notice never drew after the launch
    that armed it"

Both mutations were rebuilt before running. `playwright test` does not rebuild,
so an earlier round of the same mutations "passed" against a stale `out/` and
said the mechanism was not load-bearing when it is.

Visibility is read from main via `getVisible()` on the attached view, not from
the popup's DOM: `EmbeddedPopupView.hide()` calls `setVisible(false)`, which
leaves the markup in place and leaves the renderer reporting
`document.visibilityState === 'visible'`. Both of those read as "the card is up"
and both are wrong.

The card was rendering flush-LEFT inside the popup view instead of centred, so
it sat one shadow gutter to the left of where it was aimed — and the beak with
it, since the beak is pinned to the card. Measured at exactly 18px on Linux and
18.0px on Windows: `COACHMARK_SHADOW_GUTTER`, not a coincidence. Confirmed on a
Windows A/B of this exact change: −18.0px before, +0.0px after, the card
translating as a rigid body.

The centring was there but never reached the card. `body` is the flex container,
`#app` is `width: 100%`, so the flex item being centred is a full-width box and
the card inside it stays flush-left. `margin-inline: auto` centres the card
itself. Making `#app` a flex container also works in principle and is worse in
practice: it changes what `notifyRendered` measures and collapses the view to
149px, which I measured before discarding it.

This is NOT the timing bug it looked like. A frame-deferred re-measure was built
and A/B-tested on Windows first: both arms rendered the card byte-for-byte
identically and the offset was −18.0px in each. The constant never moved across
three builds, which is what a fixed geometric term looks like and a race does
not. That change is discarded, not landed.

`the card is anchored on the bell it points at` asserted the VIEW's centre
against the bell and passed throughout, because the view was centred correctly
all along — the card inside it was not. Its own comment recorded the false step:
"the beak is drawn at a fixed position within the card, so 'points at the bell'
is really 'the popup is centred on the bell'". The test now measures the beak's
own position in window coordinates, which cannot pass while the card is off. It
reports 18 with this fix reverted and 0 with it.

That assertion POLLS rather than sampling once. Main shows the popup at a
provisional size and resizes it after the card reports its width, and for a beat
the page is still laid out against the old viewport — a single read can land
mid-flight, measure several px off, and fail a build that is fine. It did so
once here. Polling asserts the same property without racing the resize, and is
still verified to report 18 against the unfixed code rather than waiting out its
timeout quietly.
