July 14, 2026 v0.31.1 → v0.34.0 plus panel 0.8.1 / 0.8.2. Two headliners: the orchestrator that never goes stale and giving every backend eyes.

​
Self-updater + self-restarter

The panel orchestrator (default ON) re-checks npm hourly, updates the installed package, and restarts itself once every agent is idle with nothing queued, held, or rendering — the panel announces the restart, sessions resume from the durable store, and the panel reconnects on its own. Dev installs are never modified on disk; instead the orchestrator restarts when a rebuilt dist lands, so npm run build is all a developer needs. MCP stdio mode never self-restarts (the client owns that process). Opt out with COMFYUI_MCP_AUTO_UPDATE_DISABLE=1. And npx github:artokun/comfyui-mcp now works as a nightly channel.

​
Vision is per-model, for every backend

Inline image delivery lands for every Ollama-family backend (ollama, OpenRouter, LM Studio, llama.cpp, custom endpoints, GLM, Kimi, Copilot) and for ChatGPT-direct via Responses-API input_image data URLs. Vision is always attempted; when an endpoint rejects image input there’s a graceful one-shot strip-and-retry plus an honest 📎 note — and render-completed events no longer tell a text-only model the image is “attached below” (confabulation guard). The gemma4 fine-tunes also got their sampling fixed: the tags’ baked temperature 0 caused greedy repetition loops; the backend now sends the Gemma-recommended sampling (temp 1.0 / top_k 64 / top_p 0.95) for the fine-tune tags.

​
Mobile: a pairing token that survives restarts

Set COMFYUI_MCP_PAIR_TOKEN to pin the mobile bridge’s pairing token (#219) — a paired phone reconnects across orchestrator restarts instead of dying on a per-session token, and the LAN listener auto-starts at boot with a ready-to-paste pairing URL. Unset keeps the previous on-demand, nothing-exposed-until-you-ask behavior.

​
Also shipped

  • Strip/slice read the live canvas — panel_strip_workflow / panel_slice_workflow called with no source capture the open graph directly (new graph_serialize command, panel 0.8.2) — no more save-to-disk round trip.
  • Keys live in one place — ~/.comfyui-mcp/.env is the only dotenv location (a legacy package-root .env auto-migrates once); panel users manage keys via the API Keys card. Boot logs which providers have a key and its source — never values.
  • Connection guide for the five new providers (#214) — Grok / Kimi / GLM / ChatGPT-direct / Copilot sign-in paths and picker roster.

Fixes

A user interrupt (Stop or “Send now”) no longer paints a false “turn failed” banner (#221); UI→API conversion no longer scrambles widget values on nodes with custom serialized-widget layouts like LTXDirector (#222); the tab-id migration self-heal was hardened (#212, #213); the model catalog is live and account-aware, with current DeepSeek in the curated picks; and the expired Discord invite was replaced with the permanent link (#220).
