July 20, 2026 v0.41.0 → v0.43.1 plus panel 0.9.7 — three headliners in one day.

​
GPT-5.6: Sol, Terra, and Luna

The GPT-5.6 family lands for ChatGPT/Codex users with the extended effort scale (max, ultra) — the bundled Codex SDK moves to the field-verified 0.145 alpha pairing, pre-5.6 models are deprecated (the picker hides them whenever the account has the 5.6 family), and the ChatGPT-direct default is now gpt-5.6-luna, successor to the retired gpt-5.4-mini (#241, #244; panel 0.9.7 extends the effort slider). Full rundown on the blog.

Train a character LoRA by asking

The CLI LoRA trainer (P1) ships (#237): seven train_* tools (train_list_flows, train_prepare_dataset, train_start, train_status, train_cancel, train_build_image, train_doctor) wrap ostris ai-toolkit inside a headless GPU Docker image, so training character LoRAs on FLUX.1-dev is an agent-orchestrated flow — config generation, a crash-safe job registry, live step/loss/sample progress, and a handoff that drops the finished .safetensors into models/loras/ and catalogs it. Ships the train-character-lora skill; end-to-end proven on a 4090. The story.

​
Blind mode: from prompt to mechanism

A user proved the panel’s Blind toggle was a polite request, not a guarantee. Now it mechanically gates every image-returning tool (#245): blind tabs spawn their tool server with COMFYUI_MCP_BLIND=1, and a single registration-boundary wrapper replaces image blocks with an honest “withheld” note — on both the full MCP surface and the compact router. Toggling Blind live respawns the tab’s tool server at idle. The full confession.

​
Gemini, revived

Both old catalog entries had started returning 404 from Google, so every new Gemini user failed on their first prompt — the catalog now leads with Google’s floating aliases (gemini-pro-latest, gemini-flash-latest) so it stops rotting, and the backend selects API-key auth when GEMINI_API_KEY is set instead of retrying Google’s retired free OAuth sign-in forever (#242). Verified live against the Gemini API.

Fixes

  • Text-preview node results are no longer invisible to the agent (0.43.1) — nodes like Preview as Text / ShowText publish into history’s ui dict rather than writing a file, and only images/videos were harvested, so caption and prompt-builder workflows completed with nothing for the agent to read. History analysis now extracts text as text_outputs on get_job_status and the job-watcher completion record, tolerant of the shapes seen in the wild (#247).
  • diagnose_run — a canvas-less “why did my render fail?” for mobile parity with the panel’s error tools (#243).
