ComfyUI_SmartLLM: Nova (Changelog)

Changelog
repo: SmartLLM Nova
2026-10-19
Version: 1.1.0
Feat
Add Neutral Jade, Neutral Ocean, Neutral Amethyst and Neutral Amber, pairing Neutral node backgrounds and titles with each palette's colored controls. Eclipse's Theme groups option applies matching Neutral group colors.
Add native ComfyUI text encoder generation alongside the existing Smart LM backends, with compatible local files grouped in the model selector.
Reuse ComfyUI loading, tokenization, generation and memory management with Nova tasks, prompts, training examples, image inputs, sampling and Keep loaded behavior.
Keep shared text encoder files outside registry editing and deletion; preserve saved selections and hide controls that do not apply to native generation.
Fix
Resolve native CUDA selections to a concrete GPU index before loading and cache reuse, preventing failures in ComfyUI's dynamic VRAM manager.
Perf
Discover compatible encoders from cached checkpoint headers and invalidate model/output reuse when files change.
Docs
Document the new variants, linked selection across the Nova packs and group appearance.
Document native encoder selection, supported files, sampling behavior and shared-file ownership.

Version: 1.0.0 — Initial release
Five compact panel nodes for language/vision models, image tagging, detection, mask/bbox conversion and structured song prompts, with native and Docker backends.
A shared panel design inspired by DaSiWa, adapted for classic ComfyUI and Nodes 2.0 with searchable model/task selectors, collapsible sections, pinned sections and resizable text fields.
Controls update through editing and lifecycle events, reducing canvas work without native-widget visibility or recurring graph scans.
Independent Nova node IDs, menu, routes, settings, configuration and container ownership allow the original SmartLLM pack to remain installed. Saved server settings hydrate the UI, and native/Docker backends share the current model folder.
Connected prompt, detection and seed overrides, chained tasks, independent Standard/NSFW training selection per loader, exact 64-bit seed controls, and preserved image-batch and prompt-list processing.
Registry Manager retains model selections and backend quantization across reopening and follows the selected theme, with grouped model/source/integrity sections, matching mode bars and controls, and Docker cards for setup diagnostics, immutable image references and runtime actions.
Neutral as the default node design, plus Jade, Ocean, Amethyst, Amber and custom JSON themes. Theme selection persists in Nova’s config; bundled palettes are extracted once and preserve user edits and deletions.
Installable dependency extras and the bundled Florence implementation with declared vision dependencies and actionable dependency messages.
Guides and an illustrated visual tour covering the Nova panels, model selection, detection and converters, plus detailed model registration, file verification and Docker/Ollama runtime walkthroughs.
