2026-01-31 - Implement Forge upgrades and automation

Timeline

  • (Context) Continued Local Forge setup and ComfyUI workflow validation.
  • (Action) Implemented presets, style workflows, batch runner, and hi-res pipeline for Local Forge.
  • (Action) Enhanced local_dreamer.py with auto node detection, profiles, size overrides, auto naming, and metadata sidecars.
  • (Action) Added batch tools, sample prompts, and style workflow JSONs for fast variation.
  • (Action) Updated guides and operations manuals with new usage paths.
  • (Observation) Prompt injection was initially routed to the negative node and was corrected via auto-detection.
  • (Observation) ComfyUI generated images but reported missing CUDA optimizations/triton availability.
  • (Observation) API submissions fail when the workflow lacks a valid output chain.
  • (Open Thread) Validate updated workflow exports and run a full batch test.
  • (Open Thread) Decide whether to upgrade PyTorch/CUDA/triton for performance.
