# Image Gate Send/Get Bus Implementation Plan > **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. **Goal:** Extend `Image Gate (Manual Router)` so it can auto-publish a passed image+mask to a named disk bus (`send_id`) and, when its `image` input is empty, load from a named slot (`get_id`) — enabling wireless, cycle-free "restart from the gate point" across runs. **Architecture:** A pure stdlib `gates/imagebus.py` manages slot dirs under `input/gate_bus//`. `gates/imaging.py` gains tensor PNG savers mirroring its loaders. `gates/gate.py` gains `bus_save`/`bus_load` + a pure `resolve_source`, and `run()` makes `image` optional, loads from `get_id` when absent, and publishes to `send_id` on pass. A `GET /datasete_gate/bus/list` route feeds the `get_id` dropdown. **Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, torch 2.8, Pillow, numpy, aiohttp; pytest 9; vanilla JS. --- ## Conventions (read once) - **Test python:** `/media/p5/miniforge3/bin/python` (`PY=...`). - **Run tests:** `cd /media/p5/ComfyUI-Datasete-Gates && $PY -m pytest tests/test_imagebus.py tests/test_gate.py tests/test_imaging.py -v` - All edits to `gate.py`, `imaging.py`, `gates_compat.py`, `gate_server.py` are **additive** — re-Read first, keep the existing Image Gate behavior, run full suite after. - `gates/imagebus.py` stays stdlib-only. `gate.py` keeps comfy imports lazy (inside `run`). - Bus base dir = `gates_compat.gate_bus_base()` = `input/gate_bus`. - Commit style: Conventional Commits + repo Co-Authored-By trailer; stage only this feature's paths. --- ### Task 1: `gates_compat.py` — `gate_bus_base()` **Files:** Modify `gates/gates_compat.py` **Step 1:** Re-Read the file, then append (mirrors `grid_pool_base`): ```python def gate_bus_base(): import folder_paths return os.path.join(folder_paths.get_input_directory(), "gate_bus") ``` **Step 2:** Verify import: `$PY -c "import gates.gates_compat as c; print(hasattr(c,'gate_bus_base'))"` → `True`. **Step 3: Commit** `feat: gate_bus_base() path helper` --- ### Task 2: `imagebus.py` — slot paths + list/has/delete **Files:** Create `gates/imagebus.py`; Test `tests/test_imagebus.py` **Step 1: Failing test** ```python # tests/test_imagebus.py from gates import imagebus as ib def test_paths(tmp_path): base = str(tmp_path) assert ib.image_path(base, "cp1").name == "image.png" assert ib.mask_path(base, "cp1").name == "mask.png" assert ib.bus_dir(base, "cp1").name == "cp1" def test_has_and_ensure(tmp_path): base = str(tmp_path) assert ib.has(base, "cp1") is False ib.ensure_dir(base, "cp1") ib.image_path(base, "cp1").write_bytes(b"x") assert ib.has(base, "cp1") is True def test_list_ids_only_populated(tmp_path): base = str(tmp_path) ib.ensure_dir(base, "empty") # dir but no image.png ib.ensure_dir(base, "cp1"); ib.image_path(base, "cp1").write_bytes(b"x") ib.ensure_dir(base, "cp2"); ib.image_path(base, "cp2").write_bytes(b"y") assert ib.list_ids(base) == ["cp1", "cp2"] def test_delete(tmp_path): base = str(tmp_path) ib.ensure_dir(base, "cp1"); ib.image_path(base, "cp1").write_bytes(b"x") ib.delete_id(base, "cp1") assert not ib.bus_dir(base, "cp1").exists() ``` **Step 2: Run → FAIL.** **Step 3: Implement** ```python # gates/imagebus.py """Disk-backed image bus for Image Gate send/get.

allow free-text too. - No change to the pause/preview flow — preview still arrives from the server after the source is resolved (so get-loaded images preview fine). **Manual note:** verify the dropdown lists published ids and refreshes after a pass elsewhere. **Commit** `feat: image gate frontend — send_id widget + get_id dropdown` --- ### Task 8: Live smoke test in ComfyUI Restart ComfyUI. Verify: - [ ] Existing gate with a wired `image` works exactly as before (bus ignored). - [ ] Set `send_id=cp1` on a gate, pass an image → `input/gate_bus/cp1/{image,mask}.png` appear. - [ ] A second gate with **no image wired** and `get_id=cp1` → loads that image (+ mask), pauses, and routes onward. - [ ] Works in a **new workflow** / after a restart (cross-run resume). - [ ] `get_id` dropdown lists existing bus ids. - [ ] Gate with no image and no/invalid `get_id` → silent no-op (nothing downstream runs). - [ ] Mask precedence: paint at the get-gate overrides the loaded mask. **Commit** (if fixes) `fix: image gate bus live-test adjustments` --- ## Definition of done - `$PY -m pytest tests/test_imagebus.py tests/test_imaging.py tests/test_gate.py -v` green; full `tests/` green (existing gate/pool/loader/text unaffected). - Manual checklist passes: publish on pass, get-load (incl. cross-run), dropdown, optional image, mask precedence, silent no-op.
