# UX Rework Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Three focused UX improvements: hide branching UI, skip move-only autosaves, and show specific diff details on hover.
**Architecture:** All changes are in `js/snapshot_manager.js`. No backend changes needed. Diff summary is computed at capture time and stored in snapshot metadata so hover display is instant (no extra fetch).
**Tech Stack:** Vanilla JS, ComfyUI extension API, existing `computeDetailedDiff()` function (line 485).
---
### Task 1: Hide branching UI
**Files:**
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:27` (branchingDefault)
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:350-354` (isBranchingEnabled)
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:2847-2866` (branchToggleBtn)
**Step 1: Add BRANCHING_ENABLED constant**
At the very top of the file (after the opening comment block, around line 1-30), add this constant near the other state variables:
```js
const BRANCHING_ENABLED = false;
```
Place it just before line 27 (`let branchingDefault = true;`).
**Step 2: Short-circuit isBranchingEnabled()**
Current code at line 350:
```js
function isBranchingEnabled(wk) {
if (!wk) wk = getEffectiveWorkflowKey();
if (workflowBranchOverrides.has(wk)) return workflowBranchOverrides.get(wk);
return branchingDefault;
}
```
Add an early return at the top of the function:
```js
function isBranchingEnabled(wk) {
if (!BRANCHING_ENABLED) return false;
if (!wk) wk = getEffectiveWorkflowKey();
if (workflowBranchOverrides.has(wk)) return workflowBranchOverrides.get(wk);
return branchingDefault;
}
```
This makes all 14 existing `isBranchingEnabled()` callsites automatically behave as if branching is off — no other changes needed in capture, sidebar, or timeline code.
**Step 3: Hide the branch toggle button in the sidebar**
The button is created at line 2847 and appended at line 2866. Hide it:
Current (line 2847):
```js
const branchToggleBtn = document.createElement("button");
branchToggleBtn.className = "snap-filter-auto-btn" + (isBranchingEnabled() ? " active" : "");
```
Change to:
```js
const branchToggleBtn = document.createElement("button");
branchToggleBtn.className = "snap-filter-auto-btn" + (isBranchingEnabled() ? " active" : "");
branchToggleBtn.style.display = "none";
```
**Step 4: Verify manually in browser**
- Open ComfyUI, open snapshot manager sidebar
- Confirm "Branch" button is not visible
- Create 2-3 snapshots, confirm no branch navigator (`< 1/2 >`) appears
- Confirm timeline has no expand button
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add js/snapshot_manager.js
git commit -m "Hide branching UI (BRANCHING_ENABLED = false)"
```

### Task 2: Skip move-only autosaves
**Files:**
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:1459-1460`
**Step 1: Add move filter in _captureSnapshotInner**
Current code at lines 1458-1460:
```js
const prevGraph = lastGraphDataMap.get(workflowKey);
const changeType = detectChangeType(prevGraph, graphData);
// Determine parentId for branching
```
Add one line after the changeType computation:
```js
const prevGraph = lastGraphDataMap.get(workflowKey);
const changeType = detectChangeType(prevGraph, graphData);
if (changeType === "move") return false;
// Determine parentId for branching
```
**Step 2: Verify manually in browser**
- Open ComfyUI, move several nodes around
- Confirm no new snapshots appear in the sidebar/timeline while moving
- Add a node → confirm a snapshot IS created
- Change a parameter → confirm a snapshot IS created
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add js/snapshot_manager.js
git commit -m "Skip autosave for move-only changes"
```

### Task 3: Store diff summary at capture time
**Files:**
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:614` (after computeDetailedDiff, add new helper)
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:1471-1481` (record construction in _captureSnapshotInner)
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:1550-1562` (record construction in captureNodeSnapshot)
**Step 1: Add computeCaptureMetaDiff() and formatCaptureDiffLines() helpers**
Insert these two functions right after `computeDetailedDiff` ends (after line 614, before the SVG section comment at line 616):
```js
// Compact diff stored in snapshot metadata for hover display
function computeCaptureMetaDiff(prevGraph, currGraph) {
if (!prevGraph || !currGraph) return null;
const diff = computeDetailedDiff(prevGraph, currGraph);
const result = {};
if (diff.addedNodes.length > 0)
result.added = diff.addedNodes.map(n => n.title);
if (diff.removedNodes.length > 0)
result.removed = diff.removedNodes.map(n => n.title);
// Nodes with param/property changes (ignore pure position/size changes)
const paramChanged = diff.modifiedNodes.filter(n =>
n.changes.widgetValues || n.changes.properties || n.changes.title || n.changes.mode
);
if (paramChanged.length > 0)
result.params = paramChanged.map(n => {
const count = (n.changes.widgetValues?.length ?? 0) + (n.changes.properties?.length ?? 0);
return count > 0 ? `${n.title} (${count} value${count > 1 ? "s" : ""})` : n.title;
});
if (diff.addedLinks.length > 0 || diff.removedLinks.length > 0)
result.links = { added: diff.addedLinks.length, removed: diff.removedLinks.length };
return Object.keys(result).length > 0 ? result : null;
}
function formatCaptureDiffLines(captureDiff) {
if (!captureDiff) return [];
const lines = [];
if (captureDiff.added?.length)
lines.push(`+ ${captureDiff.added.join(", ")}`);
if (captureDiff.removed?.length)
lines.push(` ${captureDiff.removed.join(", ")}`);
if (captureDiff.params?.length)
lines.push(`~ ${captureDiff.params.join(", ")}`);
if (captureDiff.links) {
const parts = [];
if (captureDiff.links.added) parts.push(`+${captureDiff.links.added} link${captureDiff.links.added > 1 ? "s" : ""}`);
if (captureDiff.links.removed) parts.push(`${captureDiff.links.removed} link${captureDiff.links.removed > 1 ? "s" : ""}`);
if (parts.length) lines.push(parts.join(", "));
}
return lines;
}
```
**Step 2: Add captureDiff to record in _captureSnapshotInner**
Current record construction at lines 1471-1481:
```js
const record = {
id: generateId(),
workflowKey,
timestamp: Date.now(),
label,
nodeCount: nodes.length,
graphData,
locked: false,
changeType,
parentId,
};
```
Add `captureDiff` field:
```js
const captureDiff = computeCaptureMetaDiff(prevGraph, graphData);
const record = {
id: generateId(),
workflowKey,
timestamp: Date.now(),
label,
nodeCount: nodes.length,
graphData,
locked: false,
changeType,
parentId,
...(captureDiff ? { captureDiff } : {}),
};
```
**Step 3: Same for captureNodeSnapshot**
Current record construction at lines 1550-1562:
```js
const record = {
id: generateId(),
workflowKey,
timestamp: Date.now(),
label,
nodeCount: nodes.length,
graphData,
locked: false,
source: "node",
changeType,
parentId,
...(thumbnail ? { thumbnail } : {}),
};
```
Change to:
```js
const captureDiff = computeCaptureMetaDiff(prevGraph, graphData);
const record = {
id: generateId(),
workflowKey,
timestamp: Date.now(),
label,
nodeCount: nodes.length,
graphData,
locked: false,
source: "node",
changeType,
parentId,
...(captureDiff ? { captureDiff } : {}),
...(thumbnail ? { thumbnail } : {}),
};
```
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add js/snapshot_manager.js
git commit -m "Compute and store diff summary at capture time"
```

### Task 4: Show diff in sidebar hover tooltip
**Files:**
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:3573-3603` (mouseenter handler in sidebar)
**Step 1: Add diff lines to tooltip**
Current mouseenter callback (lines 3572-3608) renders an SVG or thumbnail then positions/shows the tooltip. After the SVG/thumbnail is appended (right before the `rect` / positioning block), add diff lines:
Locate this block in the mouseenter callback:
```js
if (!tooltipTimer) return;
const svg = getCachedSVG(rec.id, graphData, { width: 240, height: 180 });
if (!svg) return;
tooltip.appendChild(svg);
}
const rect = item.getBoundingClientRect();
```
Change to:
```js
if (!tooltipTimer) return;
const svg = getCachedSVG(rec.id, graphData, { width: 240, height: 180 });
if (!svg) return;
tooltip.appendChild(svg);
}
// Diff summary lines
const diffLines = formatCaptureDiffLines(rec.captureDiff);
if (diffLines.length > 0) {
const diffEl = document.createElement("div");
diffEl.style.cssText = "margin-top:6px;font-size:11px;line-height:1.5;color:#ccc;white-space:pre;";
diffEl.textContent = diffLines.join("\n");
tooltip.appendChild(diffEl);
}
const rect = item.getBoundingClientRect();
```
**Step 2: Verify manually in browser**
- Create a snapshot by adding a node → hover it in sidebar → tooltip shows SVG preview + diff lines like `+ KSampler`
- Create a snapshot by changing a param → hover it → tooltip shows `~ KSampler (1 value)`
- Hover an old snapshot without captureDiff → tooltip shows SVG only (no crash)
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add js/snapshot_manager.js
git commit -m "Show diff summary in sidebar hover tooltip"
```

### Task 5: Show diff in timeline marker tooltip
**Files:**
- Modify: `js/snapshot_manager.js:3715-3717` (buildMarker tip construction)
**Step 1: Append diff lines to marker title**
Current code at lines 3715-3717:
```js
let tip = `${rec.label}${formatTime(rec.timestamp)}\n${iconInfo.label}`;
if (rec.notes) tip += `\n${rec.notes}`;
marker.title = tip;
```
Change to:
```js
let tip = `${rec.label}${formatTime(rec.timestamp)}\n${iconInfo.label}`;
const diffLines = formatCaptureDiffLines(rec.captureDiff);
if (diffLines.length > 0) tip += `\n${diffLines.join("\n")}`;
if (rec.notes) tip += `\n${rec.notes}`;
marker.title = tip;
```
**Step 2: Verify manually in browser**
- Hover a timeline marker → native tooltip shows label, time, change type, then diff lines
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add js/snapshot_manager.js
git commit -m "Show diff summary in timeline marker tooltip"
```
