CMS Changelog Sync

Push draft release notes to Strapi (release-notes content type). Docs changelog stays full; CMS uses committed staging with popup-sized copy.

Architecture

Three separate steps — stop for human review between each:

changelog/index.mdx                    ← docs source of truth (full EN)
        │
        ▼  Step 1: pnpm cms:prepare:en
staging/en/changelog/index.mdx         ← simplified popup EN → **review & approve**
        │
        ▼  Step 2: pnpm cms:prepare:locales
staging/{zh,ja,ko,fr,ru,es}/…          ← translated from staging EN → **review & approve**
        │
        ▼  Step 3: pnpm cms:preview → cms:sync  (only after user confirms)
Strapi CMS (draft) → manual Publish → published-versions.json

Never edit docs zh/changelog/ for CMS. Never auto-publish in Strapi. Never use pnpm translate for CMS — that pipeline is for Mintlify docs only.

Three-step workflow (local)

StepCommandWhat it doesGate
1. Simplify ENpnpm cms:prepare:en -- --force v0.26.0docs → LLM → staging/en/Review EN staging
2. Translatepnpm cms:prepare:locales -- --force v0.26.0staging/en/ → staging/{zh,ja,ko,fr,ru,es}/Review locale staging
3. Push CMSpnpm cms:preview then pnpm cms:syncstaging → Strapi draftsStrapi review → cms:publish

pnpm cms:prepare without --en-only / --translate-only prints help and exits — use the step-specific scripts above.

Translation workflow (CMS staging)

Step 2 only. Input = simplified EN staging, not docs changelog.

staging/en/changelog/index.mdx          ← input (Step 1 output, human-approved)
        │
        ▼  pnpm cms:prepare:locales -- v0.26.0
staging/zh|ja|ko|fr|ru|es/changelog/…   ← output (popup copy per locale, ready to sync)
        │
        ▼  pnpm cms:sync  (Step 3, after user confirms)
Strapi release-notes (draft)
Mintlify docs (pnpm translate)CMS popup (pnpm cms:prepare:locales)
English sourcechangelog/index.mdx (full docs)staging/en/changelog/index.mdx (simplified popup)
Output pathzh/changelog/index.mdx, etc.staging/zh/changelog/index.mdx, etc.
PurposeDocs siteStrapi in-app notification
Mix pipelines?NoNo

Key points:

  • cms:prepare:locales does not re-simplify English — it reads existing staging/en/ only
  • If staging EN is missing the version, translate fails — run cms:prepare:en first
  • Target locales: zh, ja, ko, fr, ru, es (see cms-config.json)
  • --force re-translates existing locale blocks (common after manual EN edits)

Simplification rules (EN popup)

Prompt: .github/scripts/cms/cms-simplify-prompt.ts
Config: .github/scripts/cms/cms-config.json → simplify

Total bullets per versionup to 10 (max_bullets_total: 10)
Section headings max3 (max_sections: 3)

Words per version~60–120
Bullet format[**Name**](pr_url): 6–12 words with one key trait
PR linksKeep when source has them; never invent URLs
New Node UpdatesInclude meaningful entries from source New Nodes section (workflows, sockets, multimodal nodes)
DropBug fixes, performance, pure Load3D plumbing, internal refactors, ComfyUI-WIKI dependency bumps (see below)

Style: principle-only prompt in cms-simplify-prompt.ts (no concrete version examples — avoids LLM contamination).

ComfyUI-WIKI commits (omit from changelog)

When curating changelog/index.mdx from ComfyUI git history, do not add bullets for commits routinely opened by ComfyUI-WIKI — they are dependency/content syncs, not core release features:

SkipTypical commit / PR pattern
Embedded docschore: update embedded docs to v…, comfyui-embedded-docs in requirements.txt
Workflow templateschore: update workflow templates to v…, comfyui-workflow-templates in requirements.txt
Model blueprintsAdd new model blueprints, blueprint starter workflows in template library

Also omit standalone frontend package semver bumps unless tied to a user-visible fix worth its own bullet. CMS simplify must never promote WIKI-only items into popup copy even if they appear in the full docs block.

Example staging shape (placeholders only):

**New Open-Source Model Support**
* [**Model Name**](source_url): Short description with 1–2 traits from the release data

**New Node Updates**
* [**Node Name**](source_url): What the node does and why it matters

**Partner Node Updates**
* [**Partner Node**](source_url): Partner scope and capability from the release data

Sync adds header: # ComfyUI vX.Y.Z via format-cms-content.ts.

Projects (comfyui + cloud)

cms:prepare may generate both projects so staging stays mirrored. For cms:sync and cms:publish, agents must treat comfyui as the default project and pass --project comfyui. Only sync or publish cloud after the user explicitly confirms cloud, using --project cloud.

Same changelog content; Strapi project field and CMS header differ (# ComfyUI vs # Cloud).

ProjectStaging pathCMS header
comfyuistaging/{locale}/…# ComfyUI vX.Y.Z
cloudstaging/cloud/{locale}/…# Cloud vX.Y.Z

Prepare runs LLM once on comfyui, then copies staging to cloud. Sync/publish must be project-scoped by agents: --project comfyui first, then --project cloud only after explicit cloud approval.

Single project: --project comfyui, --project cloud, or CMS_PROJECT=<project>.

Mark a version high attention:

pnpm cms:set-attention -- cloud v0.24.0 high --save

Commands

CommandAction
pnpm cms:prepare:enStep 1 — LLM simplify docs EN → staging/en/ (no translation)
pnpm cms:prepare:localesStep 2 — translate staging/en/ → staging/{zh,ja,ko,fr,ru,es}/ (does not re-simplify EN)
pnpm cms:preview -- v0.25.1Step 3a — Dry-run Strapi push
pnpm cms:sync -- v0.25.1Step 3b — Push/update drafts (run only after user confirms staging)
pnpm cms:publish -- v0.25.1Publish + refresh published-versions.json
pnpm cms:preparePrints three-step help and exits when no mode flag is passed
pnpm cms:set-attention -- cloud v0.24.0 highSet attention low/high in Strapi
pnpm cms:delete-drafts --previewList deletable Strapi drafts
pnpm cms:delete-draftsDelete drafts (keeps published)

Flags (after --):

  • --force — re-simplify/re-translate even if staging has the version; on sync, update already-published CMS entries (default skips published)
  • --preview / --dry-run — no API writes
  • --project cloud — single project only (default = both)
  • v0.25.1 — explicit version(s)

Env:

  • CMS_SYNC_ALL=1 — include already-published versions (backfill)
  • Without it, local default = all unpublished EN versions per published-versions.json

Requires Bun. Loads .env.local automatically.

Standard workflow

New release version

  1. Add full <Update> block to changelog/index.mdx (docs quality — unchanged).

  2. Step 1 — Simplify EN — review before translating:

    pnpm cms:prepare:en -- --force v0.25.1
    

    Inspect: .github/scripts/cms/staging/en/changelog/index.mdx → stop until approved

  3. Step 2 — Translate — from approved staging EN only:

    pnpm cms:prepare:locales -- v0.25.1          # first translate
    pnpm cms:prepare:locales -- --force v0.25.1 # re-translate after EN edits
    

    Inspect: .github/scripts/cms/staging/zh/changelog/index.mdx (and other locales) → stop until approved

  4. Step 3 — Push ComfyUI drafts (only after user confirms staging):

    pnpm cms:preview -- --project comfyui v0.25.1
    pnpm cms:sync -- --project comfyui v0.25.1
    
  5. Publish ComfyUI after Strapi review:

    pnpm cms:publish --preview -- --project comfyui v0.25.1
    pnpm cms:publish -- --project comfyui v0.25.1
    
  6. Cloud is separate: run cloud preview/sync/publish only after the user explicitly confirms cloud, using --project cloud.

  7. Commit .github/scripts/cms/staging/ and .github/scripts/cms/published-versions.json after publish.

Catch up all unpublished versions locally

pnpm cms:prepare:en -- --force              # Step 1: all unpublished EN
pnpm cms:prepare:locales -- --force         # Step 2: all locales
pnpm cms:preview
pnpm cms:sync                               # Step 3: after review

After prompt or config changes

Re-run with --force. Staging without --force skips existing <Update> blocks.

Version selection logic

ContextVersions processed
Local, no argsEN not in published-versions.json (≥ min_version 0.21.0)
Local + CMS_SYNC_ALL=1All ≥ min_version
Explicit v0.25.1That version only
CI (CMS_SYNC_BEFORE / CMS_SYNC_AFTER)New/changed <Update> blocks in git diff only

cms:sync skips locales already published per registry. Published EN in CMS is never overwritten.

Agent checklist

When user asks to update CMS release notes:

  • Confirm changelog/index.mdx has the new <Update> block
  • Omit ComfyUI-WIKI items (embedded docs, workflow templates, model blueprints) unless user explicitly asks
  • Run pnpm cms:prepare:en; show staging EN → wait for user approval
  • Run pnpm cms:prepare:locales (not cms:prepare:en) → wait for user approval
  • Run pnpm cms:preview -- --project comfyui ... then pnpm cms:sync -- --project comfyui ... only after user confirms staging
  • Run cloud cms:sync / cms:publish only after separate explicit cloud confirmation
  • Remind: Strapi publish is manual; then --write on published-versions
  • Commit .github/scripts/cms/staging/ together with published-versions.json after publish
  • Do not shorten docs changelog for CMS — staging is separate
  • Do not run bulk CMS_SYNC_ALL prepare/sync without user consent (many API calls)

Troubleshooting

IssueFix
Only one version simplifiedOld behavior was latest-only; now defaults to unpublished. Use CMS_SYNC_ALL=1 for all.
Staging skippedVersion already exists — add --force
Strapi VERSION shows -Bulk sync bug: version field null; delete drafts and re-sync
Delete draft 500Use pnpm cms:delete-drafts (locale-only DELETE, not status=draft)
English base draft missing on locale syncEnsure EN draft exists first; sync creates EN before other locales
Background prepare still runningpkill -f prepare-cms-changelog.ts
