Summary

Linear: BE-11646. The CLI half of custom ComfyUI startup flags; the service contract is Comfy-Org/cloud#8504 and the platform dialog is a separate PR.

  • comfy deploy up --startup-arg=<flag> (repeatable) sets the ComfyUI startup flags on the deployment it creates. Write it with = (--startup-arg=--highvram; a value is its own token: --startup-arg=--reserve-vram --startup-arg=2) so the token cannot swallow the option after it.
  • comfy deploy scale --startup-arg=<flag> replaces the whole stored set on a stopped deployment; scale --clear-startup-args removes them; a scale that names neither leaves the stored flags alone (the service keeps an omitted field and reads [] as the clear). Both options together are refused before any round trip as the new deploy_conflicting_input.
  • Flags apply when the deployment starts. A different set on a running deployment is refused client-side as deploy_immutable_compute with the stop, scale --startup-arg, start sequence as the hint (the same treatment as a gpu or region change); on a restart the flag is reported as dropped with a hint that names the working sequence. The service's own 409 maps to the same code, whose registered meaning and hint now cover startup flags.
  • scale's pretty line reports what the request changed (startupArgs=... or startupArgs=none), and changed is honest for a clear against a deployment that stores no flags.
  • deploy status, deploy up and deploy scale report the stored flags as computeConfig.startupArgs; deploy_up.json, deploy_scale.json and deploy_status.json accept it. The comfy-deploy and comfy-deploy-failures skills document the options and both codes.

Testing

  • ruff check . and ruff format --check . clean.
  • pytest on the deploy command suites, the API client, the error-code registry (exact set now 35), command mentions and the skills: 331 passed. New tests cover create, no-op, the client-side refusal and its hint, the restart drop for stopped, failed and stop_failed with the hint text, the bounds-only edit body, scale set, clear, omit, the conflict refusal with details.conflicting, changed for a clear against no stored flags, the four pretty-line shapes plus the unset fallback, the 409 mapping, the parsed shape, and the three schemas.
  • Full suite in this environment has 44 pre-existing failures identical on main (no uv installed, Python 3.14); none in the deploy, schema, skill or registry surfaces.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The deployment CLI adds repeatable startup-argument options for up and scale. It stores, clears, validates, preserves, reports, and tests computeConfig.startupArgs, with dedicated conflict and immutable-compute errors.

Changes

Startup argument deployment flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI options and request contracts
comfy_cli/command/deploy.py, comfy_cli/command/deploy_lifecycle.py, comfy_cli/command/deploy_types.py
up and scale accept startup arguments. scale can clear them. Request and result models preserve omitted, set, and cleared states.
Deployment creation and update behavior
comfy_cli/command/deploy_up.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/deploy_up_support.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/test_deploy_up.py
Creation stores startup arguments. Running deployments reject in-place changes. Bounds-only updates preserve stored arguments. Restart warnings include dropped startup flags.
Validation, schemas, and error mapping
comfy_cli/deploy_api.py, comfy_cli/deploy_api_errors.py, comfy_cli/error_codes.py, comfy_cli/schemas/*.json, tests/comfy_cli/output/test_error_code_registry.py
API validation and schemas require non-empty string tokens. Error mapping covers conflicting input and immutable startup-argument changes.
Documentation and behavior coverage
CHANGELOG.md, comfy_cli/skills/*, tests/comfy_cli/command/test_deploy_lifecycle.py, tests/comfy_cli/command/test_deploy_status.py
Documentation describes startup-argument commands and errors. Tests cover setting, clearing, preservation, reporting, status output, and schema validation.

Users may expect startup-argument changes to stop running deployments automatically, then encounter a rejected command instead. Clarify the required stop, scale, and start sequence before merging.

State that the user must stop the deployment.

This wording implies that the CLI stops a running deployment automatically. The command rejects an in-place change instead. State that the user must run comfy deploy stop, then comfy deploy scale, then comfy deploy start.

…scale (BE-11646)

`comfy deploy up --startup-arg=<flag>` (repeatable) sets the ComfyUI startup flags on the deployment it creates, `comfy deploy scale --startup-arg=<flag>` replaces the whole stored set on a stopped deployment, and `scale --clear-startup-args` removes them. A `scale` that names neither leaves the stored flags alone, since the service keeps the field when it is omitted and reads an empty list as the clear.

Flags apply when a deployment starts. A different set on a running deployment is refused client-side as deploy_immutable_compute with the stop, scale, start sequence as the hint, the same as a gpu or region change; on a restart the flag is reported as dropped with a hint that names the sequence that works. The service's own 409 for the same case maps to the same code, whose registered meaning and hint now cover startup flags. `scale`'s pretty line reports what the request changed, and `changed` is false for a clear against a deployment that stores no flags. Both options together on `scale` are refused before any round trip as the new deploy_conflicting_input.

`deploy status`, `deploy up` and `deploy scale` report the stored flags as computeConfig.startupArgs; the three published schemas accept it. The comfy-deploy and comfy-deploy-failures skills document the options and the codes.
