The model-base match in get_asset_category_and_relative_path ignored
each bucket's extension set, so a file inside a registered base whose
extension the bucket cannot load (e.g. a .txt uploaded into
model_type:checkpoints) advertised a loader_path that no loader list
would ever resolve, while the tag side of the same stack already
excluded it. Apply the extension check used for backend tags (empty set
accepts any extension), keeping loader_path null exactly when no loader
can resolve the file.
Cover the behaviour that has no production change but is easy to regress:
the extra-path asymmetry (loadable but no storage namespace), null
loader_path persistence for orphan files, and the response reading the
stored column with a compute fallback for un-backfilled rows.
The old file_path response field was a namespaced storage locator
(models/checkpoints/foo.safetensors): not an absolute path, not unique
identity, and not the value a loader consumes. Nothing needs that shape
on the wire (hash/ID-based locating is the long-term direction), so it
is dropped rather than renamed; the storage-root matching stays internal,
powering display_name.
What loaders DO need is the in-root loader path (category dropped:
models/checkpoints/foo/bar.safetensors -> foo/bar.safetensors). Serve it
as a first-class loader_path field, persisted on asset_references
(migration 0006) and written by every ingest pipeline at insert, so
responses read the column verbatim.
Like the model_type tags, loader_path is a seed-time derivative of the
model folder registry, maintained by the same scan lifecycle (new files seed
fresh values, pruning retires rows whose bucket disappeared). Rows
predating the column serve a null loader_path; databases from before
this stack already need recreating for the base branch's tag changes.
loader_path resolves every registered base including extra_model_paths
entries; display_name only the canonical storage roots. A file can
therefore be loadable with no display name (extra-path models) or the
reverse (unregistered files under the models root), and loader_path is
null exactly when no loader can resolve the file.
Buckets sharing a base directory (e.g. diffusion_models and a custom
unet_gguf) tagged every file in the directory regardless of whether the
bucket could load it, so .safetensors files were tagged
model_type:unet_gguf and vice versa. Carry each bucket's registered
extension set through get_comfy_models_folders and only emit a
model_type tag when the file extension matches, keeping the empty-set
match-all convention from folder_paths.filter_files_extensions.
Files under a model base matching no bucket now keep only the models
tag instead of every directory-matching model_type tag.
