ELI-5

Some files in this repo are not really ours. The Comfy API spec sync writes them from upstream sources and rewrites them every time it runs, so editing one here publishes your change now and then silently loses it on the next sync. Nothing in CI said so. This adds a check that fails the PR instead, and tells you where the edit actually belongs.

What this adds

  • .github/workflows/sync-owned-check.yml, a path-filtered pull_request workflow with two jobs: the guard, and the guard's own unit tests.
  • .github/scripts/sync-owned/check-sync-owned.ts, the checker. It reads the changed paths from git diff --name-only --no-renames -z <base>...<head> on stdin and exits 1 listing every offending file with a one-line "where this belongs instead".
  • .github/scripts/sync-owned/check-sync-owned.test.ts, 55 unit tests.
  • A Sync-owned files section in the README's contribution notes naming the files and the rule.

The sync's own PR is exempt, by author (comfy-pr-bot) or by its fixed head branch (chore/sync-comfy-api-v2-spec).

Path list, compared against the sync at implementation time

I read the sync workflow's final status check upstream. Its git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all names eight paths. Here is each one against what this guard does:

Path named by the sync Guarded here Why
openapi-v2.yaml yes Vendored projection of the API contract.
development/comfy-router/reference.mdx yes Generated from the contract.
development/comfy-router/quickstart.mdx yes Hand-written upstream, published verbatim.
development/comfy-router/limitations.mdx yes Hand-written upstream, published verbatim.
router-schemas yes, whole tree rsync --delete mirror of the per-model openapi.json documents.
development/comfy-router/models.mdx on freshness Generator output.
development/comfy-router/models only **/code.mdx, on freshness The sibling code.yaml specs are hand-curated inputs that live inside the generated tree, and the sync's own staging guard refuses to delete anything under that tree except a code.mdx.
docs.json no Co-owned. The sync rewrites only the Models nav group and the model-page redirects.

How it behaves

Every number below is from running the checker against real diffs, not from the unit tests.

Against the PRs that motivated this, fed each PR's real author and head branch:

PR Verdict Flagged
#1697 fail limitations.mdx
#1679 fail quickstart.mdx (its 27 regenerated code.mdx pages correctly excused)
#1688 pass nothing sync-owned in its diff, see Residual
#1687 (the rolling sync PR) pass exempt, authored by comfy-pr-bot

False-positive sweep. I ran the checker over the last 80 merged PRs in this repo. 6 would newly fail (#1593, #1647, #1652, #1679, #1686, #1697) and every one of them edits quickstart.mdx, limitations.mdx or reference.mdx by hand. 74 pass. No false positive survived in that corpus. For the generated-page verdict the sweep assumed fresh pages, which is the historically accurate value: code-pages was green on both merged PRs where it mattered (#1593, #1610).

End-to-end, through the exact shell pipeline the workflow runs, on scratch branches in a worktree:

  • hand-edit limitations.mdx + delete a router-schemas/** document + append to docs.json → fails on the first two, docs.json untouched.
  • git mv development/comfy-router/quickstart.mdx … → fails on the deletion of the guarded path (this is what --no-renames buys).
  • edit docs.json + a code.yaml only → passes.
  • edit a code.yaml, actually run bun run code-pages:gen, commit both → passes, with the regenerated page reported as excused.
  • hand-edit models.mdx alone, bun run code-pages:check genuinely red → fails, with the hand-edit message.

Why generated pages are judged on freshness

The literal rule "fail any PR that modifies code.mdx" contradicts the rest of the repo, and I found that empirically rather than by reasoning about it:

  1. code-pages:check fails a PR whose generated pages are stale. I confirmed this by perturbing a code.yaml and a models.mdx and watching the check go red. So committing a regenerated code.mdx is mandatory whenever a generator input changes, and an unconditional guard would make a code.yaml edit unshippable, which is exactly what one of the acceptance criteria says must stay possible.
  2. My first cut keyed the excusal off "did this PR also change a generator input". The 80-PR sweep failed that: chore(code-pages): regenerate Router code pages to restore freshness #1610 (chore(code-pages): regenerate Router code pages to restore freshness) changes no input at all and is a completely honest regeneration. That was a real false positive.

So the signal is freshness, not the shape of the diff: a page that matches bun run code-pages:gen's output is that output, however it got there; a page that does not match is a hand-edit. The workflow runs code-pages:check and passes the verdict in as GENERATED_PAGES_FRESH. An unknown verdict defaults to "not fresh", so the guard fails closed.

This is not redundant with code-pages-check.yml: that workflow's path filter does not list development/comfy-router/models.mdx, so a PR hand-editing only the generated provider index never starts it. Re-asserting freshness here closes that gap.

Verification

  • bun test ./.github/scripts/sync-owned/ → 55 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun test for the other three script suites (snippets, cms, i18n) → 38 / 5 / 46 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run code-pages:check → 204 code pages fresh.
  • python .github/scripts/check-anchors.py --only-changed on the README change → all anchor links OK.

Residual

The provenance for #1688 does not hold up, so this is two regressions in three days, not three. #1688 (docs(comfy-router): drop the queued-delivery preview caveats) edits development/comfy-router/queue.mdx and a snippets/comfy-router/ fragment, and regenerates 204 code.mdx pages. It does not edit limitations.mdx or quickstart.mdx. queue.mdx is not in the sync's status check, the upstream copy step publishes only router-quickstart.mdx and router-limitations.mdx as hand-written pages, and the open sync PR's diff does not touch queue.mdx. So #1688 was never at risk and this guard correctly passes it. The two genuine regressions are #1697 (limitations.mdx) and #1679 (quickstart.mdx), and both are flagged. Anyone auditing the original "three in three days" framing should start here. The sweep also found three older instances of the same defect that nobody has ported upstream yet: #1686 and #1652 and #1647/#1593 all hand-edit limitations.mdx / quickstart.mdx / reference.mdx. Those live edits are still on docs.comfy.org and are still being reverted by each sync. Fixing them is not in this PR, which only stops new ones.

The head-branch half of the exemption is spoofable. github.event.pull_request.head.ref is contributor-controlled, so anyone can name a fork branch chore/sync-comfy-api-v2-spec and bypass the guard. I implemented author-OR-branch because that is what was specified, and the blast radius is small (the bypass only lets someone edit a file the next sync overwrites anyway). Narrowing to author-only, or to author-AND-branch, is a one-line change and someone should decide it deliberately.

Deviation from the literal acceptance wording. The criterion says the workflow fails a PR that adds, modifies or deletes any development/comfy-router/models/**/code.mdx or development/comfy-router/models.mdx. As implemented it fails those only when the page is stale, for the reasons above. A hand-edit is always stale, so the defect the criterion is aiming at is caught; a regeneration is not. If unconditional is genuinely wanted, code-pages-check.yml's contract has to change first, and that is a separate change.

This check cannot be made a required status check as written. It is path-filtered, like redirect-check and code-pages-check beside it, so on a PR touching none of the guarded paths it does not run at all and GitHub reports a required-but-skipped check as pending forever. Making it required needs the usual always-run-with-an-early-exit shape instead.

Not covered, deliberately. The localized zh/, ja/ and ko/ copies of these pages are maintained by the i18n sync and are out of scope; tests assert they pass. Sync-side drift detection (the sync noticing docs-side edits and refusing to overwrite) is also out of scope: the PR-time guard catches the edit while its author can still act on it, which the sync cannot.

Unexercised artifacts. The originating work item and its linked follow-up live in an internal tracker this environment cannot reach, so their contents were not read beyond what was relayed. Everything else the report names was exercised: I read the upstream sync workflow's status check and copy step directly, and I pulled the cited failing check-anchors job log, which reproduces verbatim (link: /development/comfy-router/limitations#request-bodies-are-capped, anchor: #request-bodies-are-capped (NOT FOUND)).

Provenance

  • Authored by: agent-work loop
  • Verified: bun test ./.github/scripts/sync-owned/: 55 pass, 0 fail; bun test on snippets/cms/i18n: 38/5/46 pass, 0 fail; bun run code-pages:check: 204 pages fresh; check-anchors.py --only-changed: OK; checker run against 80 merged PR diffs and 5 scratch branches through the workflow's own shell pipeline
  • Deviations: generated code.mdx / models.mdx are guarded on freshness rather than unconditionally, and the #1688 provenance did not reproduce; both are written up under ## Residual

The Comfy API v2 spec sync owns openapi-v2.yaml, the hand-written Comfy
Router reference/quickstart/limitations pages, the router-schemas mirror
and the generated model pages, and rewrites them from upstream sources on
every run. Nothing in docs CI said so, and three merged PRs in three days
edited those pages directly: each shipped live and is reverted by the
rolling sync PR's diff.

Add a path-filtered pull_request workflow that refuses such an edit while
its author can still move it upstream, naming every offending file and
where the edit belongs instead. The sync's own PR is exempt by author or
by its fixed head branch.

The two generated page kinds are guarded conditionally: code-pages:check
already fails a stale page, so committing a regenerated code.mdx is
mandatory whenever a generator input changes. A PR that also changes an
input is regenerating rather than hand-editing and passes.
…of the diff

A sweep of the last 80 merged pull requests found a regeneration-only PR
(#1610, 'regenerate Router code pages to restore freshness') that changes
no generator input at all, so the input-change heuristic failed it. What
actually separates a regeneration from a hand-edit is whether the
committed page matches the generator's output, which is the assertion
code-pages:check already makes. The workflow runs it and passes the
verdict in.

code-pages-check.yml's path filter omits development/comfy-router/models.mdx,
so a PR that hand-edits only the generated provider index never starts it.
Re-asserting freshness here closes that gap.
