Add Text Gate (Manual Pass) design + implementation plan

Blocking text gate: pauses, shows incoming text in an editable box, Pass
emits the edited text. Optional any-type signal input + signal passthrough
output for ordering. Reuses gate_bus via an additive string payload channel
with a should_cancel hook so the Pass-only gate still honors global Cancel
(processing_interrupted). TDD plan; comfy imports stay lazy for testability.

# Text Gate (Manual Pass) Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Build a ComfyUI node `Text Gate (Manual Pass)` that pauses a run, shows the incoming text in an editable box, and on a Pass click emits the (edited) text — plus an optional any-type `signal` input and a `signal` passthrough output for ordering.
**Architecture:** Reuse the Image Gate's `gates/gate_bus.py` blocking infra, extended with a string **payload channel** (`put_payload`/`wait_payload`) plus a `should_cancel` hook so the Pass-only gate still honors ComfyUI's global Cancel. The node `gates/textgate.py` defines an `AnyType("*")` and keeps comfy imports lazy so it unit-tests without ComfyUI. `gates/gate_server.py` gains `send_text()` + a pass route; `web/text_gate.js` renders the editable textarea + Pass.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, aiohttp; pytest 9; vanilla JS frontend. (No torch needed for this node.)
---
## Conventions (read once)
- **Test python:** `/media/p5/miniforge3/bin/python` (`PY=...`).
- **Run tests:** `cd /media/p5/ComfyUI-Datasete-Gates && $PY -m pytest tests/test_gate_bus.py tests/test_textgate.py -v`
- Edits to `gate_bus.py` / `gate_server.py` / `__init__.py` are **additive** — re-Read each
first, keep the Image Gate working, and run the full suite after.
- `gate_bus.py` stays stdlib-only. `textgate.py` imports comfy lazily inside `run()`.
- Concurrency: other sessions may share this tree; stage only this node's paths per commit.
- Commit style: Conventional Commits + repo Co-Authored-By trailer.

### Task 1: `gate_bus.py` — string payload channel
**Files:** Modify `gates/gate_bus.py`, `tests/test_gate_bus.py`
**Step 1: Failing test**
```python
# add to tests/test_gate_bus.py
def test_payload_roundtrip():
gb.GateBus.arm("p")
gb.GateBus.put_payload("p", "hello edited")
assert gb.GateBus.wait_payload("p") == "hello edited"
def test_payload_consumed():
gb.GateBus.arm("p")
gb.GateBus.put_payload("p", "x")
gb.GateBus.wait_payload("p")
assert "p" not in gb.GateBus.payloads
def test_arm_clears_payload():
gb.GateBus.put_payload("p", "stale")
gb.GateBus.arm("p")
assert "p" not in gb.GateBus.payloads
def test_wait_payload_cancel_flag_raises():
import pytest
gb.GateBus.arm("p")
gb.GateBus.cancelled = True
with pytest.raises(gb.GateCancelled):
gb.GateBus.wait_payload("p")
```
**Step 2: Run → FAIL.** `$PY -m pytest tests/test_gate_bus.py -v`
**Step 3: Implement** — add a class attr and methods to `GateBus`, and clear payloads in `arm`:
```python
payloads = {} # node_id(str) -> arbitrary payload (e.g., edited text)
```
In `arm`, add:
```python
cls.payloads.pop(str(node_id), None)
```
New methods:
```python
@classmethod
def put_payload(cls, node_id, value):
cls.payloads[str(node_id)] = value
@classmethod
def wait_payload(cls, node_id, period=0.1, should_cancel=None):
sid = str(node_id)
while sid not in cls.payloads:
if cls.cancelled or (should_cancel is not None and should_cancel()):
cls.cancelled = False
raise GateCancelled()
time.sleep(period)
return cls.payloads.pop(sid)
```
**Step 4: Run → PASS** (and existing gate_bus tests still pass).
**Step 5: Commit** `feat: gate_bus payload channel + should_cancel`
---
### Task 2: `gate_bus.py` — `should_cancel` triggers cancel
**Files:** Modify `tests/test_gate_bus.py`
**Step 1: Failing test**
```python
def test_wait_payload_should_cancel_raises():
import pytest
gb.GateBus.arm("p")
with pytest.raises(gb.GateCancelled):
gb.GateBus.wait_payload("p", should_cancel=lambda: True)
```
**Step 2: Run → PASS immediately** (implemented in Task 1). If it fails, fix Task 1's loop.
**Step 3:** (no code) — this task just locks the behavior with a test.
**Step 4: Commit** `test: gate_bus wait_payload honors should_cancel`
---
### Task 3: `textgate.py` — `AnyType` wildcard
**Files:** Create `gates/textgate.py`; Test `tests/test_textgate.py`
**Step 1: Failing test**
```python
# tests/test_textgate.py
from gates import textgate
def test_anytype_is_compatible_with_everything():
assert (textgate.ANY != "IMAGE") is False
assert (textgate.ANY != "LATENT") is False
assert isinstance(textgate.ANY, str)
```
**Step 2: Run → FAIL.**
**Step 3: Implement**
```python
# gates/textgate.py
from . import gate_bus
NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {}
NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS = {}
class AnyType(str):
"""Type that compares equal to any other type (ComfyUI wildcard convention)."""
def __ne__(self, other):
return False
ANY = AnyType("*")
```
**Step 4: Run → PASS.** **Step 5: Commit** `feat: textgate AnyType wildcard`
---
### Task 4: `textgate.py` — `TextGate` node
**Files:** Modify `gates/textgate.py`, `tests/test_textgate.py`
**Step 0: Verify the global-cancel getter:**
`grep -n "def processing_interrupted\|def interrupt_current_processing\|class InterruptProcessingException" /media/p5/Comfyui/comfy/model_management.py`
Use the boolean getter that exists (expected `processing_interrupted`).
**Step 1: Failing test**
```python
import math
def test_textgate_io_shape():
assert textgate.TextGate.RETURN_NAMES == ("text", "signal")
assert textgate.TextGate.RETURN_TYPES[0] == "STRING"
assert textgate.TextGate.RETURN_TYPES[1] == textgate.ANY
def test_textgate_is_changed_nan():
v = textgate.TextGate.IS_CHANGED(text="hi", unique_id="1")
assert math.isnan(v)
```
**Step 2: Run → FAIL.**
**Step 3: Implement (append)**
```python
class TextGate:
CATEGORY = "Datasete Gates"
FUNCTION = "run"
RETURN_TYPES = ("STRING", ANY)
RETURN_NAMES = ("text", "signal")
@classmethod
def INPUT_TYPES(cls):
return {
"required": {
"text": ("STRING", {"forceInput": True}),
},
"optional": {
"signal": (ANY, {}),
},
"hidden": {"unique_id": "UNIQUE_ID"},
}
@classmethod
def IS_CHANGED(cls, **kwargs):
return float("nan")
def run(self, text, unique_id, signal=None):
from . import gate_server
import comfy.model_management as mm
gate_bus.GateBus.arm(unique_id)
gate_server.send_text(unique_id, text)
try:
edited = gate_bus.GateBus.wait_payload(
unique_id, should_cancel=mm.processing_interrupted) # confirm symbol (Step 0)
except gate_bus.GateCancelled:
raise mm.InterruptProcessingException()
return (edited, signal)
NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {"TextGate": TextGate}
NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS = {"TextGate": "Text Gate (Manual Pass)"}
```
**Step 4: Run → PASS.** (`run()` covered by the live test, not unit tests.)
**Step 5: Commit** `feat: TextGate node — pause, editable pass-through, signal passthrough`
---
### Task 5: `gate_server.py` — text route + preview, and register (MERGE)
**Files:** Modify `gates/gate_server.py`, `__init__.py`
**Step 1: Re-Read `gates/gate_server.py`**, then append (additive — don't touch the image-gate routes):
```python
def send_text(node_id, text):
PromptServer.instance.send_sync(
"datasete-textgate-show", {"id": str(node_id), "text": text or ""}
)
@routes.post("/datasete_text_gate/pass")
async def _text_pass(request):
post = await request.post()
GateBus.put_payload(post.get("id"), post.get("text", ""))
return web.json_response({})
```
**Step 2: Re-Read `__init__.py`** and merge `TextGate` into the mappings (gate_server is
already imported for the Image Gate, so the new route registers automatically):
```python
from .gates.textgate import NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS as _TEXT_NODES, \
NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS as _TEXT_NAMES
NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {**NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS, **_TEXT_NODES}
NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS = {**NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS, **_TEXT_NAMES}
```
**Step 3:** `$PY -c "import gates.textgate; print(gates.textgate.NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS)"` → shows TextGate.
**Step 4:** Full suite green: `$PY -m pytest tests/ -v`
**Step 5: Commit** `feat: text gate server route + register TextGate`
---
### Task 6: `web/text_gate.js` — editable pause UI
**Files:** Create `web/text_gate.js`
Implement `app.registerExtension` for `TextGate`:
- Listen for the `datasete-textgate-show` socket event (`api.addEventListener`); when it
fires for this node's id, render a DOM widget: an **editable `<textarea>`** prefilled with
the event's `text`, and a **Pass** button.
- **Pass** → POST `/datasete_text_gate/pass` form-encoded `{id, text: <textarea value>}`,
then hide the pause UI.
- Keep it minimal — no dynamic outputs (the two outputs are static).
**Manual note:** verify the textarea grows/scrolls for long captions.
**Commit** `feat: text gate frontend — editable textarea + pass`
---
### Task 7: Live smoke test in ComfyUI
Restart ComfyUI. Build: a text source (e.g., `Folder Image Loader.text` or a primitive) →
`Text Gate` → a text consumer (ShowText/SaveText). Optionally wire a `signal` from one node
and the `signal` output to another. Verify:
- [ ] "Text Gate (Manual Pass)" appears under "Datasete Gates".
- [ ] Queue → pauses; editable textarea shows the incoming text.
- [ ] Edit the text, click **Pass** → downstream receives the **edited** text.
- [ ] Pauses again on a second run (not cached).
- [ ] `signal` input forces this node to run after its source; `signal` output triggers a
downstream node after pass (chain order holds).
- [ ] Hitting ComfyUI's global **Cancel** while paused unblocks cleanly (no deadlock, no
scary traceback).
**Commit** (if fixes) `fix: text gate live-test adjustments`
---
## Definition of done
- `$PY -m pytest tests/test_gate_bus.py tests/test_textgate.py -v` green; full `tests/` green
(Image Gate unaffected).
- Manual checklist passes: editable pause, edited pass-through, signal ordering, clean cancel.
