What

Adds a user-facing page for autogrow (dynamic) inputs to the Interface Guide:

  • interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx (EN) plus zh / ja / ko
  • docs.json: new entry in the Interface Guide, after interface/features/node-docs, for all four languages
  • two new screenshots in images/interface/features/autogrow/

Until now the feature was only covered from the developer side (custom-nodes/v3_migration, custom-nodes/backend/node-replacement). Users who meet it in the graph (a node that grows another input when you connect the last one) had nothing to read.

Page contents

  • what an autogrow input is and how the node grows when the last free input is connected
  • that input order is the order the node receives values, and that the trailing free input is a placeholder
  • a table of nodes that use autogrow inputs (Batch Images / Batch Masks / Batch Latents, And / Or, partner nodes with reference images such as Nano Banana 2)
  • a tip linking to the V3 Autogrow template API for custom node authors
  • a card linking to the Batch Images node reference

Screenshots

Both captured from a local ComfyUI 0.34.0 with frontend 1.51.9 (English UI), tight crop at 2x:

  • autogrow-1.png: Batch Images with one connected input and one free input
  • autogrow-2.png: after connecting the second input, the newly added free input is highlighted

Checks run locally

  • check-anchors.py on all four files: OK
  • check-structure-parity.ts (base origin/main): OK
  • check-i18n-sync.mjs: all passed, no missing translations
  • validate-links.py: OK
  • sync-hash-i18n.ts: translationSourceHash synced on all three translations

Document dynamic (autogrow) inputs for end users: the node adds a new
input when the last free slot is connected, up to the node's maximum.

- new page interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx (+ zh/ja/ko)
- two screenshots captured from a local ComfyUI 0.34.0 / frontend 1.51.9
- docs.json: entry after node-docs in the Interface Guide (4 languages)

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

The Interface Guide now includes Autogrow Inputs documentation in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The pages describe input expansion, ordering, placeholders, node-specific limits, and related documentation links.

Changes: Autogrow Inputs guides

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized guidance and navigation
interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx, ja/interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx, ko/interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx, zh/interface/features/autogrow-inputs.mdx, docs.json
The four guides describe autogrow behavior, input ordering, placeholder slots, node-specific limits, and V3 Autogrow references. Navigation entries link to each guide.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 920b4

The new guides give input-limit guidance that conflicts with the existing node references. Align the localized tables so readers receive consistent information.

### Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 920b4

@lin-bot23 , for screenshots, let's use Nodes2.0 by default. The mark you added isn't in the perfect position, and it's also too thin.

… 2.0

Use the modern Nodes 2.0 node design (Comfy.VueNodes.Enabled) for both
screenshots, and re-align the highlight on the newly added image2 input:
the box is now derived from the input row geometry (socket dot + label),
so it encloses the full row without clipping the label, drawn with the
standard 3 px #F2FF59 stroke instead of a hairline outline.

Recaptured both screenshots with the modern Nodes 2.0 node design (Comfy.VueNodes.Enabled) and redrew the highlight, in b5860bf7b.

  • Both images now show the DOM-rendered node: collapse chevron in the header, Nodes 2.0 sockets, no legacy title band / divider.
  • The box on the newly added image2 input is now derived from the input row geometry (socket dot + label + 5 px of air) instead of being placed by eye, so it encloses the whole row and no longer cuts through the label.
  • Stroke is the standard 3 px #F2FF59 outline, no glow, rounded corners: the previous one was a ~0.5 px hairline.

Captured on ComfyUI 0.34.0 / frontend 1.51.9, English UI, canvas zoom 1.5, so both files are 1556 px wide (previously 1908 px) with identical framing; autogrow-1 1556x712, autogrow-2 1556x832. No text or file-name changes, so the .mdx sources and translations are untouched.
