Disk-backed image bus (input/gate_bus/<id>/): gates auto-publish image+mask
to a named send_id on pass; when image input is empty they load from get_id
(dropdown) — wireless, cycle-free "restart from the gate point" across runs.
Making image optional implements ignore-on-normal-path. TDD plan with a pure
stdlib imagebus + tensor savers; comfy imports stay lazy.

Named, portable profiles for the Image Pool: a Pool Profile companion node
(create/select/rename/delete/duplicate/export-import) outputs a POOL_PROFILE
id into the pool's new optional input; profile or pool_id wins. Registry
(name->id) in profiles.json; live edit-time grid switch via cross-node
propagation. TDD plan with a pure stdlib profiles layer incl. zip round-trip.

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.

Interactive chooser/router: pauses execution, shows the image with up to
10 labeled route buttons + edit-mask + stop. Chosen route gets the image,
others ExecutionBlocker-ed; gate-painted mask on a fixed output; stop
raises InterruptProcessingException. TDD plan with a pure torch-free
gate_bus; lazy comfy imports keep node logic unit-testable.

Dataset-oriented loader: folder path, control_after_generate index
(fixed/increment/decrement), depth control, sidecar .txt text output,
alpha->mask, stem filename, resolved index. TDD plan with a pure stdlib
scan layer; self-contained except a merge-aware root __init__ registration
(pool node is being built concurrently).

TDD, bite-sized tasks across 3 phases: pure pool storage layer + atomic
manifest, tensor/imaging helpers, GridImagePool node with IS_CHANGED,
aiohttp routes, in-node grid UI, and MaskEditor clipspace round-trip.

Approved design for an input-side ComfyUI node holding a curated pool of
images with per-image masks and labels, selectable for output. Captures
IO, managed-pool-folder storage, MaskEditor reuse, server routes, edge
cases, and a 3-phase build plan.
