comfy models search / list-folders / list-folder / show can talk to a local ComfyUI or to the cloud, but until now the only way to aim the local ones at a specific machine was the process-wide COMFY_LOCAL_URL environment variable — there was no per-command --host/--port like comfy run and comfy upload already have. This adds those two flags to all four subcommands so you can say "look at the ComfyUI running on that box" for one invocation, and it politely refuses if you point them at a cloud target (whose address doesn't come from host/port at all) instead of silently answering from the wrong machine.

What changed

  • Added --host / --port options to list_folders_cmd, list_folder_cmd, search_cmd, and show_cmd in comfy_cli/command/models/search.py.
  • Threaded them through the shared _resolve_and_stamp helper, which now mirrors the comfy upload implementation:
    • validates the host with comfy_cli.host_port.validate_host (URL-injection / control-character rejection) and checks the port range 1–65535, wrapped in report_usage_error so JSON/NDJSON consumers still get a terminating envelope on a bad flag (exit 2 preserved);
    • resolves the routing decision once and, when the effective target is cloud while --host/--port were given, emits a structured host_flag_cloud error that names how the cloud decision was reached (--where, COMFY_WHERE, project/config default, or credential auto-detect);
    • otherwise hands host/port to resolve_target, applying the local precedence explicit flag > COMFY_LOCAL_URL > 127.0.0.1:8188.
  • resolve_target() already accepted host/port; no change was needed there.
  • With no flags, resolution is exactly what it was before (verified end-to-end).

This is the comfy-cli root cause behind the comfy-mcp report where search_models read the local machine's models regardless of the configured remote target — there was no per-invocation lever to route the query.

Tests

Extended tests/comfy_cli/command/models/test_search.py with three classes exercising the real resolve_target (no fixture pins the URL) so precedence is exercised, not mocked:

  • TestHostPortRouting — host+port reach the resolved URL; no-flags keeps the loopback default; no-flags still honors COMFY_LOCAL_URL; flags beat COMFY_LOCAL_URL; --host alone keeps the env port (independent host/port resolution); IPv6 host is bracketed; search threads the pair to resolve_target.
  • TestHostPortCloudRejection--host/--port with an effective cloud target (via --where cloud for all four verbs, and via COMFY_WHERE=cloud) is rejected with host_flag_cloud, and the message/where_source name the source.
  • TestHostPortUsageErrors — invalid hosts and out-of-range ports are exit-2 usage errors; IPv6 literals are accepted.

Provenance

  • Authored by: agent-work loop
  • Verified: ruff check . + ruff format --check on the changed files: clean. pytest tests/comfy_cli/command/models/test_search.py: 114 passed (83 pre-existing + 31 new). Relevant subsets (command/models, output, test_host_port, test_local_address, test_transfer_upload): 733 passed. Full pytest: 7583 passed, 38 skipped, 5 failed — all 5 in files this PR does not touch (test_file_utils.py umask, test_http.py CA-cert-store count 125 != 121, test_logs.py, test_node_deps.py) and reproducing in isolation on a clean tree; they are host-environment assertions, not regressions from this change.
  • Deviations: none to the four subcommands' local/cloud behavior; see ## Residual for a precedence-wording note carried over from the ticket.

Residual

  • Persisted-background-server precedence (intentional deviation, matches the named sibling): the ticket's acceptance text lists the precedence as explicit flag > COMFY_LOCAL_URL > persisted background server > 127.0.0.1:8188. This PR mirrors comfy upload (BE-5662) exactly, which calls resolve_target directly and therefore does not consult the persisted config.background server (that fallback lives in host_port.resolve_host_port, used by comfy run/jobs/validate/nodes, not by upload or these models verbs). Consulting the background server was deliberately not added because it would also change the no-flags path (which the acceptance requires to stay identical to today). If background-server fallback is wanted for models too, it is a small follow-up: switch _resolve_and_stamp to host_port.resolve_host_port and re-baseline the no-flags tests.
  • Sibling ticket / comfy-mcp (out of scope, unexercised): the sibling "comfy-mcp: forward --host/--port to comfy models search" lives in a different repo (comfy-mcp) and is blocked-by this one; it is not touched or exercised here. This PR only supplies the comfy-cli lever it depends on.
  • Minor behavior improvement: an invalid --where value on these four verbs now returns a structured where_invalid error (exit 1) instead of an uncaught ValueError, matching comfy upload. No existing test covered the old raw-traceback behavior.
  • Small duplication: the _WHERE_SOURCE_PHRASES phrasing dict is duplicated from cmdline.upload (kept local to avoid a cmdline import cycle from a command module). Could later be hoisted into a shared module if a third caller appears.

`comfy models search`, `list-folders`, `list-folder`, and `show` routed via
`resolve_target(where=...)` but never exposed `--host`/`--port`, so the only
way to point them at a specific local ComfyUI was the process-wide
`COMFY_LOCAL_URL` env var. `resolve_target()` already accepts `host`/`port`;
this threads them through the shared `_resolve_and_stamp` helper, mirroring the
`comfy upload` flags (BE-5662): validate the host (URL-injection / control
chars) and port range, reject the flags against an effective cloud target with
a structured `host_flag_cloud` error that names how the cloud decision was
reached, and otherwise apply the local precedence explicit flag >
COMFY_LOCAL_URL > 127.0.0.1:8188. No flags => behavior is unchanged.

A damaged or inaccessible configuration can now break every model discovery command, including invocations without the new flags, so the fallback should be restored before merge.

Preserve the configuration-loading fallback.

Before this change, all four commands called resolve_target(where=where). Its internal ConfigManager read is inside an except Exception fallback.

The current helper reads ConfigManager before resolve_target. Its surrounding handler catches only ValueError. Config parsing, temporary-directory creation, and non-ValueError background-loading failures can escape. A background-conversion ValueError is caught, but it is incorrectly reported as where_invalid instead of falling back to config_value=None.

Catch configuration-loading exceptions separately and pass config_value=None to where_module.resolve. Add a malformed-config regression test.

Proposed fix
-    try:
-        decision = where_module.resolve(
-            flag=where, config_value=ConfigManager().get(where_module.CONFIG_KEY_WHERE_DEFAULT)
-        )
+    try:
+        config_value = ConfigManager().get(where_module.CONFIG_KEY_WHERE_DEFAULT)
+    except Exception:  # noqa: BLE001 — preserve resolve_target's bad-config fallback

🟡 MediumConfigManager() plus .get(...) runs inside a try that only catches ValueError, but construction calls load()configparser.read(), which raises configparser.Error (e.g. MissingSectionHeaderError, or InterpolationSyntaxError for a raw % in a persisted where_default) and can raise OSError; the previous resolve_target(where=where) path wrapped this same read in except Exception so a corrupt config fell through to the next precedence source. Now any of those escapes as a raw traceback with no terminating envelope and takes down all four models verbs, and the ValueError branch is mislabeled where_invalid with a hint naming only --where even when the bad value came from COMFY_WHERE, the project default, or the saved config. Calling the shared where.resolve_default(flag=where) / resolve_default_or_exit() restores both the defensive read and the hint that names all four sources. Raised by 5 of 6 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, gpt-5.6-sol-max adversarial, claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case, gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case, kimi-k3-high edge-case).

🟡 Mediumvalidate_host rejects only /@​?#, whitespace/control characters, and non-IPv6 colons, so values that break the URL layer with a non-OSError still get through this new flag: --host '[localhost]' or --host 'a]b' makes urlsplit raise ValueError("Invalid IPv6 URL") (no colon, so _reject_embedded_port returns early and the brackets survive), and a non-ASCII host with a pathological IDNA label raises UnicodeError from host.encode("idna"). All four verbs catch only (urllib.error.URLError, OSError, json.JSONDecodeError, ResponseTooLarge), so these surface as an uncaught traceback instead of a structured usage error — note comfy upload, the command this mirrors, already names UnicodeError in its connection-error tuple. Raised by 3 of 6 reviewers (kimi-k3-high adversarial, claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case, gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

🟢 Lowreport_usage_error is called without command=, as are the where_invalid and host_flag_cloud emissions below, contrary to the helper's documented contract of passing it wherever the success envelope does. Because _resolve_and_stamp is shared across the four verbs it can't name the subcommand itself, so these failure envelopes carry the renderer default (model/models or nothing) while successes carry models list-folders, models search, etc.; thread the verb name down from each call site. Raised by 4 of 6 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max adversarial, gpt-5.6-sol-max adversarial, kimi-k3-high adversarial, gpt-5.6-sol-max edge-case).

🟢 Low--host/--port on show can never succeed: an effective cloud target hits the host_flag_cloud rejection above, and a local target immediately fails with models_show_local_unsupported. Either omit the flags from this verb or have the help text say they cannot help here, rather than advertising "Local targets only" for the one mode show does not support.

🟢 Low — A credential-bearing host like --host user:password@​server is correctly rejected, but not before it is echoed twice: @​tracking.track_command serializes kwargs before the function body runs, so the raw value reaches debug logs and enabled telemetry ahead of any validation, and in pretty mode the original BadParameter (whose message interpolates host!r) is rendered to stderr while only the JSON/NDJSON path redacts. Redact the exception message before Click renders it, and consider excluding host from the tracked kwargs for all four new options. Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (gpt-5.6-sol-max adversarial).
