# Refactoring Implementation Summary
## β
Completed Work
### 1. Authentication Module (`src/auth/`)
Created a clean authentication abstraction following SOLID principles:
- **[src/auth/base.py](src/auth/base.py)**: Abstract `ComfyAuth` base class with `auth_header` property
- **Implementations**:
- `NoAuth`: Current default (no authentication)
- `TokenAuth`: Future-ready Bearer token authentication
- **Benefits**:
- Dependency Inversion Principle: Routes depend on abstraction, not concrete auth
- Easy to extend with new auth methods (API keys, OAuth, etc.)
- Centralized header injection
### 2. HTTP Client Module (`src/client/`)
Replaced synchronous `requests` library with async `httpx`:
- **[src/client/get_data.py](src/client/get_data.py)**: Core async HTTP function
- Authentication header injection via `ComfyAuth`
- Session context manager for connection pooling
- Standardized error handling
- Support for GET, POST, HEAD, DELETE methods
- **[src/client/response.py](src/client/response.py)**: Standardized response object
- `ResponseGetData` dataclass for consistent returns
- Status code, parsed response, success flag, headers
- **Benefits**:
- Async support for better concurrency
- Connection pooling reduces latency
- Consistent interface across all HTTP operations
- Testable with httpx mocking
### 3. Logging Utilities (`src/utils/`)
Decorator-based logging with correlation ID tracking and parameter sanitization:
- **[src/utils/logging.py](src/utils/logging.py)**: `@log_call` decorator
- Automatic entry/exit/timing logging with correlation IDs
- Optional parameter logging with sensitive data redaction (`log_params`, `sensitive_params`)
- Supports both sync and async functions
- Zero-boilerplate correlation via `get_global_logger()`
- No manual logging clutter in route functions
- **[src/utils/context.py](src/utils/context.py)**: Correlation ID context management
- `contextvars`-based request tracking
- Auto-propagation across async boundaries
- Used by `CorrelationLogger` for automatic ID injection
- **Benefits**:
- Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) pattern
- End-to-end request tracing across all layers
- Security: Automatic redaction of sensitive parameters (API keys, tokens, passwords)
- Easy debugging with timing and correlation information
- Reduced boilerplate in business logic
### 4. Route Functions (`src/routes/`)
Thin HTTP transport layer with minimal logic:
- **[src/routes/workflow.py](src/routes/workflow.py)**:
- `queue_workflow()`: Submit workflow for execution
- `get_history()`: Get all execution history
- `get_prompt_history()`: Get specific prompt history
- **[src/routes/queue.py](src/routes/queue.py)**:
- `get_queue()`: Get current queue status
- `cancel_prompt()`: Cancel queued/running prompt
- **[src/routes/assets.py](src/routes/assets.py)**:
- `get_asset()`: Download generated assets
- `get_asset_metadata()`: Get asset headers (HEAD request)
- **[src/routes/models.py](src/routes/models.py)**:
- `get_available_models()`: Discover available checkpoints/models
- **Benefits**:
- Single Responsibility: Only HTTP transport
- All routes follow identical pattern
- Easy to test with httpx mocking
- Custom exceptions per module
- Comprehensive docstrings with examples
### 5. Documentation (`src/routes/AGENTS.md`)
Complete implementation guide for future development:
- Route function template and pattern
- Required components (auth, session, logging, exceptions)
- Anti-patterns and what NOT to do
- Migration path from old code
- Testing patterns with examples
- Checklist for new routes
## π Architecture Improvements
### Before
```
comfyui_client.py
βββ HTTP transport (requests)
βββ Response parsing
βββ Polling logic
βββ URL construction

β βββ get_data.py # Core async HTTP with httpx
β βββ response.py # Standardized response object
βββ utils/ # Cross-cutting concerns
β βββ logging.py # @log_call decorator
βββ routes/ # Thin transport layer
βββ workflow.py # Workflow operations
βββ queue.py # Queue management
βββ assets.py # Asset retrieval
βββ models.py # Model discovery
βββ AGENTS.md # Implementation guide
```
### Separation of Concerns
| Layer | Responsibility | Example |
|-------|----------------|---------|
| **Routes** | HTTP transport only | `queue_workflow()` sends POST, returns response |
| **Orchestrator** | Business logic, polling, validation | `ComfyUIClient` uses routes, handles retries |
| **Managers** | Domain logic | `DefaultsManager`, `AssetRegistry` |
| **Tools** | MCP tool interface | Tool registration, argument parsing |
## π Next Steps
### Phase 2: Refactor Orchestrator
1. Convert `comfyui_client.py` to use route functions
2. Move polling logic from routes to orchestrator
3. Add async/sync bridge (`asyncio.run()`)
4. Update managers to use routes where needed
### Phase 3: Testing
1. Add unit tests for route functions
2. Add integration tests for orchestrator
3. Add end-to-end tests for MCP tools
### Phase 4: Advanced Features
1. Add retry decorator (`@run_with_retry()`)
2. Implement response caching for GET requests
3. Add request context aggregation (`RouteContext`)
4. Consider full async conversion (if MCP supports it)
## π― SOLID Principles Applied
- β
**Single Responsibility**: Each route does ONE thing (HTTP transport)
- β
**Open/Closed**: Easy to extend with new auth types without modifying routes
- β
**Liskov Substitution**: All `ComfyAuth` subclasses are interchangeable
- β
**Interface Segregation**: Minimal, focused interfaces per route
- β
**Dependency Inversion**: Routes depend on `ComfyAuth` abstraction, not concrete classes
## π¦ Dependencies Updated
Added to `pyproject.toml`:
- `httpx>=0.27.0` - Modern async HTTP client for route functions
- `fastmcp>=3.0.0` - FastMCP v3 for MCP server implementation
- `pillow>=10.0.0` - Image processing (existing)
Removed from direct dependencies:
- `requests>=2.31.0` - Legacy sync HTTP (kept for backward compatibility in old code)
- `mcp>=0.9.0` - Replaced by fastmcp v3
Now using **uv** for dependency management via `pyproject.toml`.
## π§ͺ How to Use New Routes
```python
import asyncio
from src.auth import NoAuth
from src.routes import queue_workflow
# Create auth instance
auth = NoAuth("http://127.0.0.1:8188")
# Use route function
async def example():
workflow = {"3": {"class_type": "KSampler", ...}}
res = await queue_workflow(auth=auth, workflow=workflow)
print(f"Queued: {res.response['prompt_id']}")
# Run from sync code
asyncio.run(example())
```
