git_helper.py is spawned as a standalone subprocess on Windows
(manager_core.py:1342). The import of comfyui_manager.common.timestamp_utils
triggered comfyui_manager/__init__.py which imports from comfy.cli_args —
unavailable in the subprocess environment, causing ModuleNotFoundError.
Inline get_backup_branch_name() using only stdlib (time, uuid), preserving
the original collision-detection and UUID-fallback semantics. Add 9 tests
covering standalone subprocess loading, behavioral equivalence, edge cases
(repo.heads exception, 99-suffix exhaustion with UUID fallback).
Add comprehensive pip dependency conflict resolution framework as draft implementation. This is self-contained and does not affect existing
ComfyUI Manager functionality.
Key components:
- pip_util.py with PipBatch class for policy-driven package management
- Lazy-loaded policy system supporting base + user overrides
- Multi-stage policy execution (uninstall → apply_first_match → apply_all_matches → restore)
- Conditional policies based on platform, installed packages, and ComfyUI version
- Comprehensive test suite covering edge cases, workflows, and platform scenarios
- Design and implementation documentation
Policy capabilities (draft):
- Package replacement (e.g., PIL → Pillow, opencv-python → opencv-contrib-python)
- Version pinning to prevent dependency conflicts
- Dependency protection during installations
- Platform-specific handling (Linux/Windows, GPU detection)
- Pre-removal and post-restoration workflows
Testing infrastructure:
- Pytest-based test suite with isolated environments
- Dependency analysis tools for conflict detection
- Coverage for policy priority, edge cases, and environment recovery
Status: Draft implementation complete, integration with manager workflows pending.
