Fail closed prompt cache signatures for opaque, unstable, and recursive inputs

[xmarre]

Summary

Hardens prompt cache signature generation so opaque, recursive, excessively deep, ambiguously ordered, or changing runtime values fail closed during prompt setup instead of producing unsafe or stale cache keys.

The implementation is limited to cache-signature canonicalization, graph-link recognition/validation, and focused regression coverage.

Implementation

• Canonicalizes prompt input values through one bounded exact-built-in path.
  • supports exact primitive built-ins plus plain dict, list, tuple, set, and frozenset
  • preserves container type and exact primitive type
  • snapshots containers before recursive descent
  • detects cycles, depth exhaustion, traversal-budget exhaustion, traversal errors, and ambiguous ordering
  • fails closed to Unhashable() when a value cannot be represented safely
• Uses the same canonicalizer for structured IS_CHANGED values with a smaller depth/traversal budget.
• Propagates an unsafe fragment to the full node signature instead of embedding a partially failed value in a reusable key.
• Captures canonical node-input snapshots during ancestry traversal and re-canonicalizes the live mapping after the awaited IS_CHANGED phase.
  • missing keys, changed non-link values, in-place nested mutations, and link/non-link transitions all fail closed
  • comparison is between canonical built-in representations rather than invoking arbitrary runtime-object equality
• Uses one shared ancestry walker for normal and snapshot-aware traversal while preserving the existing public helper contracts.
• Keeps Unhashable.value = NaN because external-cache provider logic uses the self-unequal marker to skip fail-closed keys before serialization.
• Restricts graph links to a plain two-item list containing a plain string node id and a non-negative plain integer output index.
• Uses the same strict link predicate in prompt validation, so Boolean, float, and negative output indices are rejected before execution.
• Ensures the unit-test caching fixture removes its stub-loaded module from sys.modules during teardown and does not redundantly reload it.

Compatibility

Normal prompt-native primitives and stable built-in containers remain cacheable. Dict insertion order is normalized; list/tuple/set/frozenset shapes and exact primitive types remain distinct.

Unsafe or unstable values receive a fail-closed key, preventing cache reuse across prompt rebuilds. External cache providers skip those keys.

Primitive/container subclasses are intentionally outside the cacheable boundary: admitting them would permit user-defined __repr__, __hash__, or __eq__ behavior during signature construction or key use.

Validation

The exact final six-file tree was validated on the mirror branch before promotion:

• Unit Tests — Ubuntu, Windows, macOS: pass
  • Ubuntu: 1,493 passed, 10 skipped
• Execution Tests — Ubuntu, Windows, macOS: pass
  • Ubuntu: 283 passed, 7 skipped
• Ruff: pass
• Pylint: pass
• server launch smoke test: pass
• Codex review of final mirror SHA 10a9521f7c: no major issues

The promoted branch re-parents that unchanged reviewed tree onto current master at 0a33ed6c28f926d14536235771c222f9e6d1026b; the intervening upstream change was README-only. The PR is exactly one commit ahead and zero commits behind.

CodeRabbit's docstring-coverage item is a heuristic warning rather than a repository requirement: .coderabbit.yaml explicitly disables docstring finishing touches, and broad docstring churn would conflict with the repository's narrow-scope/sparse-comment guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cache signature system now canonicalizes supported built-in values into deterministic, type-preserving signatures. It detects cycles, depth limits, container budgets, traversal errors, and ordering collisions. Node signatures use stable ancestry snapshots and return Unhashable for invalid or unstable inputs. Graph link validation now requires plain lists, string node IDs, and integer output indices. Tests cover cache signatures, snapshot stability, strict link types, and HTTP 400 validation errors.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b2732

Primitive subclasses such as enum.IntEnum may be treated as unsafe cache inputs, causing avoidable cache misses for affected nodes and descendants. The impact is bounded and mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

_get_ordered_ancestry_snapshot_internal as its sole traversal, deriving and
returning the ancestry and order_mapping from the snapshot result. Remove the
duplicated get_ordered_ancestry_internal recursion once unused, while preserving
the existing ordering and failure behavior.
- Around line 337-347: Update the validation loop in the caching logic around
input_items so it compares the complete live inputs mapping with the snapshot,
including non-link values, rather than skipping non-link snapshot entries.
Detect missing keys, changed values, and link/non-link transitions, and return
Unhashable() for any mismatch before the canonicalization step.

In `@tests-unit/execution_test/test_caching.py`:
- Around line 60-64: Update the fixture that imports and reloads
comfy_execution.caching to use generator-style teardown, yielding the module and
nodes_module before removing comfy_execution.caching from sys.modules afterward.
Ensure the teardown explicitly drops the reloaded module entry so subsequent
tests import a fresh module rather than the stubbed version.

Do not change memo for ID reuse alone

Each visited container remains reachable from the root object or an active snapshot during the to_hashable traversal. The available source does not establish a path where a memoized container is freed before another lookup. CPython ID reuse alone does not warrant this change.

221-237: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

No cache compatibility issue is shown. The inspected IS_CHANGED implementations and test nodes return supported built-in values. No repository-local usage demonstrates unintended re-execution for unsupported types.

Review disposition for the final branch (b2732d8):

• Full live-input mapping vs snapshot: fixed using canonical whole-mapping snapshots and fail-closed comparison after the awaited fingerprint phase. This also avoids invoking arbitrary runtime-object __eq__.
• Duplicated ancestry recursion: fixed with one shared private ancestry walker while preserving the existing public helper interfaces.
• Stub-loaded caching module leaking between tests: fixed with generator teardown; the follow-up mirror nit about the now-redundant importlib.reload() was also fixed.
• Negative output indices (fresh mirror review risk): valid; fixed at the shared is_link() predicate and covered in both unit and HTTP validation tests. Negative, Boolean, and float output indices are rejected before execution.
• Memo/id-reuse additional comment: no code change. The review itself found no path where a memoized container is freed during traversal, so there is no demonstrated ID-reuse defect to fix.
• IS_CHANGED compatibility additional comment: no code change. The review found no repository-local unsupported return shape causing an unintended compatibility regression.
• Docstring Coverage pre-merge warning: intentionally not expanded into mass docstring edits. The repository's own .coderabbit.yaml disables docstring finishing touches, and AGENTS.md requires narrow, necessary changes. Raising coverage across dozens of otherwise unrelated existing/test functions would add non-functional churn unrelated to this PR's correctness.

Final mirror validation:

• Unit Tests: Ubuntu/Windows/macOS pass; Ubuntu 1,493 passed, 10 skipped
• Execution Tests: Ubuntu/Windows/macOS pass; Ubuntu 283 passed, 7 skipped
• Ruff, Pylint, launch smoke: pass
• Codex reviewed final mirror SHA 10a9521: no major issues
• A final CodeRabbit full-review request was issued after the last mirror fixes, but was rate-limited; its prior reload nit was automatically marked addressed.

The upstream branch has now been collapsed back to exactly one commit on current master.

No cache-helper contract break is established. The production callers in comfy_execution/caching.py consume the new tuple and Unhashable results consistently. get_ordered_ancestry retains its two-value return contract, and the tests assert the updated behavior.
