TL;DR

When ComfyUI is about to launch with --enable-agent, Desktop installs core's agent_requirements.txt first, so the agent works on the run that enables it. Bounded and fail-open: it can never hold up a launch that would otherwise succeed.

Why

Core is gaining an --enable-agent flag and an agent_requirements.txt beside main.py, copying its own --enable-manager pattern: when the flag is set and the package is not importable, core logs the pip install -r hint, turns the flag off and starts anyway. Desktop already installs manager_requirements.txt at every point that can change an install, but the agent's file has to go in at launch, because nothing earlier knows the flag is in play.

What it does

The step keys on the final launch args, not on the PostHog flag. --enable-agent reaches them from the user's own launch args or from a Core beta grant, and a core whose schema does not know the flag has normally had it filtered out by then, so the assembled args are the one place that knows the agent is really starting.

It installs only when the final args contain --enable-agent, <install>/ComfyUI/agent_requirements.txt exists, and the install has a Desktop-managed Python environment the shared uv helper can drive — the same uv + venv test every manager_requirements.txt site makes, which confines this to standalone and adopted installs. Anything else is a clean no-op and core's own hint covers those users. The install itself is the existing installFilteredRequirementsDetailed helper (PyTorch lines filtered, mirror config honoured); Desktop never names a package, so the file's contents stay opaque to it.

It cannot hold up a launch. uv runs under a controller this module owns with a 120 s ceiling; past it uv is killed and reaped and the launch proceeds with the flag still set, leaving core to print its hint and disable the agent itself. The launch's own abort signal is untouched, so a timeout continues the launch while a user cancel still cancels it. Failures behave the same way. The bound is a total rather than an idle one because uv streams nothing between Downloading and Downloaded, so a slow transfer cannot be distinguished from a stall; the deliberate consequence is that a link too slow to finish inside the ceiling falls back to core's hint.

Progress appears as its own launch step, added through a new addLatePhase on the launch tracker. Whether the step runs is only known once the args are final, which can be after a torch repair already armed the tracker and froze its phase list, and a phase missing from the steps payload has its progress dropped by the renderer entirely.

Re-running on every qualifying launch is deliberate: no stamp, no hash, no new field on the installation record. uv audits an already-satisfied requirements file in about 10 ms (measured against the uv release this repo pins, 0.11.18), which is not worth carrying state for.

No documentation, generated files, lockfiles or vendored code changed, and no merge-only changes. Tests are most of the diff because the feature is a gate: the implementation is a 176-line module plus a 27-line call site, while the behaviour worth pinning is the set of conditions under which it does and does not fire, and the two ways it must not hold up a launch.

Test coverage

Module tests (19) cover the plan decision — flag typed by hand, flag from a grant, flag absent, requirements file absent, no Desktop-managed environment, uv missing, adopted install targeting the legacy venv — and the runner: helper arguments, a non-zero exit and a thrown install both reported without throwing, silence on a cancelled launch, the ceiling abandoning a stalled install without cancelling the launch, uv killed on cancel, no timer left behind, the wait ending on its own when uv never exits after being killed, and a zero exit inside the grace period reporting as the success it was (both checked against the unfixed code, where they hang and misreport respectively).

Tracker tests (6) cover addLatePhase: the steps payload is re-published, the new phase is entered, it lands directly after the active phase so the bar cannot regress, the real boot phases still follow, it works when nothing else injected a phase, and the caller's array is not mutated.

Launch tests (9) drive the real handleLaunch through the existing harness with the uv subprocess stubbed: the install fires for a hand-typed flag and a granted one; does not fire when the flag is absent, when the running core cannot parse it, when the file is absent, or when the environment is not Desktop-managed; a failed install still spawns with the flag set; the step reaches the renderer in the steps payload; and an abort during the install cancels the launch without spawning.

…enable-agent

Core is gaining an --enable-agent flag and an agent_requirements.txt beside
main.py, copying its own --enable-manager pattern: when the flag is set and the
package is missing, core logs the pip install command, turns the flag off and
keeps starting. Desktop already installs manager_requirements.txt at every
point that can change an install; the launch is where the agent's file has to
be installed, because nothing before it knows the flag is in play.

The decision keys on the FINAL launch args, not on the PostHog grant. The flag
reaches the args either from the user's own launch args or from a beta grant,
and a core whose schema does not know it has already had it filtered out, so
the assembled args are the only place that knows the agent is really starting.
The install runs after that assembly and before the spawn, next to the manager
config reconcile, and only for an install whose Desktop-managed Python
environment the shared uv helper can drive - the same environment test the
manager requirement sites make.

It is deliberately unconditional per launch: no stamp, no hash, no new field on
the installation record. uv audits an already-satisfied requirements file in
about 10 ms, which is not worth the state.

A failure never blocks the launch. It is reported in the launch output and the
flag stays in the args, leaving core to print its own hint and disable the
agent itself. Cancelling during the install cancels the launch, like every
other pre-spawn step.

Two defects from a two-model review of the previous commit.

The install awaited uv in front of the spawn with no deadline and no
fail-open, so a stalled or very slow install stopped ComfyUI starting at all.
That inverts core's own contract: core is built to start without these
packages, log its install hint and disable the agent. It also went further
than the user asked, because the flag can arrive from a beta grant rather than
from the user's own launch args, and there is no per-launch skip.

uv now runs under a controller this module owns, with a ceiling past which uv
is killed and reaped and the launch proceeds with the flag still set. The
launch's own signal is untouched, so a timeout continues the launch while a
cancel still cancels it. The ceiling is a total, not an idle bound: uv streams
nothing between "Downloading" and "Downloaded", so a slow transfer cannot be
told from a stall. The neighbouring args-schema probe bounds and fails open the
same way.

The progress step was also lost whenever a torch repair ran first. That path
arms the tracker, which freezes its phase list, so a later push never reached
the steps payload and the renderer dropped the phase (it ignores progress for a
phase it was never told about), leaving "Restoring GPU PyTorch" on screen for
the whole install. The tracker now takes a phase discovered after arming,
inserting it after the active one so the bar cannot regress and re-publishing
the steps payload. The agent phase is no longer a PRE_LAUNCH_PHASES entry,
which is what made the ordering load-bearing.

Also corrects two comments the review found inaccurate, and silences the
failure warning on a cancelled launch, matching the exit-code branch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The launch flow now installs agent requirements when final arguments and runtime prerequisites allow it. It adds a late progress phase, streams installation output, handles timeout and cancellation, and continues after non-cancellation failures.

Changes

Agent requirements launch flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Late launch progress phase
src/main/lib/launchPhases.ts, src/main/lib/launchProgress.ts, src/main/lib/launchProgress.test.ts, locales/*.json
Adds the AGENT_REQUIREMENTS_PHASE definition and addLatePhase support. The tracker inserts the phase after the active phase and republishes step metadata. English and Chinese labels are added.
Installation planning and execution
src/main/lib/agentRequirementsLaunch.ts, src/main/lib/agentRequirementsLaunch.test.ts
Plans installation only when the agent flag, requirements file, Python environment, and uv are available. The installer streams output, uses the configured mirror, propagates cancellation, enforces a 120-second timeout with a 10-second grace period, and reports non-cancellation failures.
Launch integration and validation
src/main/lib/ipc/sessionActions/launch.ts, src/main/lib/ipc/sessionActions/launch.test.ts
Runs installation after manager configuration using final launch arguments. It publishes progress, continues after installation failure, and returns cancellation when launch aborts. Tests cover flag sources, prerequisites, failure handling, progress, teardown, and cancellation.

Comment thread src/main/lib/agentRequirementsLaunch.ts
Codex review on #1559. The ceiling only asked uv to stop. killProcTree sends
SIGTERM to the process group on POSIX and swallows a failed taskkill on
Windows, neither awaited, while the install settles only on the child's own
exit. A uv that never took the signal therefore held the launch open with no
limit, which is the exact failure the ceiling was added to prevent.

The wait is now bounded twice: the ceiling asks uv to stop, and a grace period
later the launch stops waiting whether or not it did, reporting that it has
abandoned a still-running install. The grace is armed by whichever side raised
the abort, so a user cancel cannot be held open either.

The install promise is settled into a value rather than awaited directly,
because losing the race leaves it pending and a later rejection with nothing
awaiting it would surface as an unhandled rejection.

The two new tests were checked against the unfixed code: the unbounded case
hangs until the runner times it out, and the within-grace case proves the
grace does not cut short a uv that is on its way out.

requirements installation flow to inspect outcome.result.code before reporting
failure: a zero exit code during the grace period must be treated as a
successful installation, not as timed out. Preserve the warning for genuinely
unsuccessful timed-out installs, and add a fake-timer test covering successful

Comment thread src/main/lib/agentRequirementsLaunch.ts Outdated
CodeRabbit review on #1559. The ceiling can fire while uv is already on its way
out with a zero exit, and the report was branching on the timer before the exit
code, so an install that genuinely succeeded was announced as skipped. Nothing
behaved differently, but the launch output told the user the agent was not
installed on a run that had just installed it.

The exit code decides now, and the timer only chooses the wording for an
install that did not succeed.

Checked against the unfixed code: the new test fails with the "without it"
message on a zero exit.
