Desktop reads the picker's list from R2 at boot, so it can change without an app release. Nobody outside engineering could change it, because the file lived nowhere and there was no safe way to edit it. Adds the file, a script, a skill and a CI gate: - `assets/starter-templates.json` — the list, generated from the built-in one, so publishing it is a no-op today. - `scripts/starter-templates.mjs` — list, set, regenerate, validate. Editors supply template ids only; titles, descriptions, sizes and thumbnails come from the live index, so a description cannot drift from the template it describes. - `.claude/skills/starter-templates/` — the skill, plus setup for someone starting cold: Node 22 and `gh auth login`, no build. - CI validates the file and re-runs generation to prove nothing was hand-edited. The rules the script refuses to break are the ones that fail silently in the app: four cards per tab, one free recommended pick per tab, at most one paid template per tab. A short tab quietly backfills and a paid auto-pick spends the user's credits on first run, so neither surfaces as an error. Publishing to R2 on merge still needs a bucket credential and is not wired here.
A one-slot `set` is the common case, but swapping most of the list meant four separate calls. `replace` takes four ids per tab, with `*` for the auto-pick and `$` for the paid card, and derives everything else. Same validation, so a wrong count or an unknown id still fails before writing.
… free one QA of the authoring script found two states it would have accepted, both of which are silent in the app rather than visible errors. A tab with zero paid templates passed, because the rule was written as "at most one". Every tab is meant to showcase exactly one API-node template, so the check now requires exactly one. A free template reporting zero bytes also passed, which makes the install-time disk-space check under-count and can leave a user out of space mid-download. Free cards must now report a real size, and paid cards must report zero since they download nothing. Adds `starter-templates.spec.mjs`, 36 cases covering every way an edit can break a tab: wrong counts, missing or duplicated recommended and paid picks, a paid auto-pick, cross-tab duplicate ids, ids that are not upstream or that escape a path, and that a refused command leaves the file untouched. CI runs it.
Merging to main now uploads `starter-templates.json` to R2 and to the GCS mirror, then reads both back and fails if either is missing or serving something different. Desktop reads the file at boot, so a merged change reaches users on their next launch with no app release. Both hosts, not just R2: regions where R2's edge is throttled read the mirror, and a list that exists on only one of them is invisible to half the users it was written for. This also closes the manual mirror copy that has been outstanding. Gated on the `starter-templates` environment and on validation passing, so a broken list cannot reach users. Needs three secrets before it can run: CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID, R2_STARTER_TEMPLATES_TOKEN, GCS_MIRROR_SA_KEY.
CI was failing: the guardrail suite ran under vitest, which needs a dependency install the job never did. It now runs on `node --test`, so it needs nothing installed and starts in a second. The no-drift check failed the job whenever upstream edited a description, which would redden every open PR and send the author hunting a hand-edit that did not exist. It warns now, and says upstream is the likely cause. Three script fixes, each a state the tool would have written: - an id from another tab was accepted, so an image template could land in the audio tab carrying its own title, and the picker groups by the stored modality - `a,b,,d` passed as four ids, writing a different list than the one asked for - an unmarked `api_` id in `replace` was written as free, which then failed the zero-size rule for the wrong reason Also drops the "can never drift" claim from the skill: fields refresh when the commands run, so upstream can move ahead until `regenerate` is next run. Guardrail suite is 39 cases now. Mutation-checked the modality cross-check and the api_ default; the empty-slot guard is a clearer error rather than a new rejection, since `entryFor` already refuses an empty id, and the test says so.
Publishing only ran on merge to main, so a wrong secret would surface on the merge that ships to users. `workflow_dispatch` with `dry_run` (default true) authenticates to both hosts and does a real write-then-delete under a throwaway key, proving the R2 token has write access without touching the file the app reads. Unchecking dry_run publishes for real.
Wrangler 3 writes to remote R2 by default; --remote only exists in 4. The credential dry run failed on 'Unknown argument: remote' before it ever authenticated.
The previous check stopped at the first failure, so an R2 403 hid whether the GCS key could write at all. Each host is now checked independently and reports what it found: whether the token is valid, whether it can see the bucket, and whether read and write are separately permitted. That turns 'it failed' into the specific permission to ask for.
They only went to the step summary, which the logs API does not return, so the result was invisible to anyone reading the run output.
The previous attempt was broken three ways: findings went only to the step summary, which the logs API does not return; a mangled helper recursed into itself and segfaulted the step; and continue-on-error marked both steps green regardless, so the run looked like a pass with no output. Logic moves to two scripts that print to stdout and the summary, run without error masking, and use the storage JSON APIs directly rather than the gcloud CLI. Each reports whether the credential is valid, whether it can see the bucket, and whether read and write are separately permitted, so a refusal names the permission to request.
The credential check called `/user/tokens/verify`, which only accepts
user-owned tokens. An account-owned token is rejected there with code 1000
"Invalid API Token" even when it is valid and correctly scoped, so the check
failed before it ever reached the bucket and reported a working token as bad.
It now tries `/accounts/{id}/tokens/verify` first and falls back to the user
endpoint, and says which kind it found. Verified against the real secrets: the
token reads and writes `desktop-assets`, and the mirror service account reads
and writes `comfy-desktop-public`. Both are ready to publish.
Also refreshes a template description upstream had edited, which was failing a
guardrail test, and drops the leftover vitest config from before the suite
moved to `node --test`.

Security, in the workflow: - a manual dispatch with dry_run unticked published whatever branch it ran from straight to the file users read at boot; publishing is now pinned to main - R2 was written before authenticating to GCS, so a bad mirror key left the two hosts serving different lists with no rollback; auth happens first now, since it writes nothing and is the likeliest failure - the credential scripts aborted on an unset secret with a bare "unbound variable" and reported nothing, which is the opposite of their job - fixed-name files in /tmp replaced with mktemp, and token validity is parsed rather than substring-matched The validator accepted five states the app silently drops, each of which would pass CI, publish green, and then shorten a tab: a missing or unusable mediaSubtype, the reserved ids `.` and `..`, an id past 128 chars, text past 4096, and a size past the 2 TiB cap. It now mirrors every cap the app enforces. Also: `--id --recommended` bound the flag as the value; passing --recommended with a paid id reported the resulting document rather than the contradiction typed; the index fetch had no timeout; and the post-publish check now polls, since both hosts are behind a CDN that can serve the previous object.
…ng' into feat/starter-templates-authoring
The skill said "at most 1 paid per tab" while the validator requires exactly one, so the doc misled the person it was written for. Also names the mediaSubtype rule the validator now enforces. The push filter omitted the script, so a change to the validator re-checked the committed list on the PR but never again on main. It now matches the PR filter.
It read as a human tutorial, but the agent is the primary consumer. Rewritten as directives: what to do, when to stop and confirm, and what to report back. Follows Anthropic's authoring guidance: state what to do rather than narrating why, since the body stays in context for the whole session and every line is a recurring cost. Adds the decision points an agent needs and a troubleshooting section keyed on the script's real error strings, so a failure maps to an action instead of a retry.

`flags.paid ?? id.startsWith('api_')` was a dead fallback, since every caller
passes an explicit boolean and `false ?? x` is `false`. So `--paid` on an
ordinary downloadable template wrote `sizeBytes: 0`, which defeats the
pre-install disk-space check. Now `||`, so an `api_` id is paid either way.
Publishing had no concurrency group, so two merges in quick succession raced to
overwrite the same objects and the older list could win. Queued, not cancelled:
every merge must publish.
The drift check is documented as a warning but runs under `bash -e`, so a
`die()` from an unreachable index failed the step outright, reddening unrelated
PRs. It now warns and exits clean.
`npx wrangler@3` resolved a mutable dependency tree with the write-capable R2
token in scope; pinned to 3.114.1.
Every outbound call now carries connect and max timeouts, `urlopen` a timeout,
and both jobs a `timeout-minutes`, so a stalled endpoint cannot hold a runner to
the six-hour limit.
The GCS probe only proved it could create an object. Publishing overwrites, and
a create-only credential would pass the probe then fail the publish, so it now
overwrites and reports whether delete works.

`check()` accepted a non-boolean `recommended`. The app reads it with `=== true`, so a string "true" published clean and then left the tab with no auto-pick. Both flags are now type-checked. `validate` only confirmed an id still existed upstream, so a hand-edited title, description, size or mediaSubtype passed CI and shipped, which is exactly what the "never hand-edit the JSON" rule forbids. A shrunken sizeBytes also makes the install-time disk-space check under-count. It now regenerates each entry from the live index and reports any field that differs. Three tests discarded the command's exit status and then asserted a count the committed list already satisfied, so they passed whether or not the feature worked. They assert success first now, and the two new rules have their own cases: reverting either fails a test.

A malformed entry threw a TypeError instead of being reported. `null` in the array crashed on `.id`, a numeric title crashed on `.trim()`, and a non-array `templates` crashed because validate iterated it after check() had already returned. All fifteen hostile shapes now give a clean refusal. The hand-edit check reported upstream drift as an error, which would have reddened every open PR the moment upstream retitled a template. That is the exact case the workflow deliberately downgrades to a warning, so it warns and exits clean now. The GCS upload was writing to standalone-environments/assets/, because the action preserves the parent directory unless told otherwise. The verify step would have failed on the mirror after R2 was already overwritten. Concurrency moved from workflow level to the publish job. Shared with the PR runs, a queued publish could be displaced by a later PR, which is the opposite of what the group was added for. Also: two entries missing an id both hashed to undefined and read as duplicates; a prototype member like `toString` resolved as a command and exited 0 having validated nothing; the mediaSubtype allowlist rejected valid upstream subtypes an editor cannot change; the verify curl had no timeouts and aborted the retry loop under `bash -e`; and the cryptography import is now checked, so a missing package cannot masquerade as a bad credential. The test harness kept stderr, so a refusal can be asserted on its reason rather than on any non-zero exit.

Summary
Content can change which starter templates the desktop installer offers without an engineer and without an app release. They ask Claude in plain English, it opens a PR, and merging publishes the list to R2 and the GCS mirror so users see it on their next launch.
Changes
assets/starter-templates.jsonis the picker's list, and desktop already reads it from R2 at boot. It is generated from the built-in list, so publishing it today changes nothing users can see.scripts/starter-templates.mjsis the CLI behind all of this, withlist,set,replace,regenerateandvalidate. Editors only ever supply template ids. Titles, descriptions, sizes and thumbnails come from the live template index, so a description cannot drift from the template it describes..claude/skills/starter-templates/is the skill Lin drives.setup.mdcovers a cold start, which is Node 22 andgh auth login, with no build step..github/workflows/starter-templates.ymlvalidates on every PR that touches these files, then publishes on merge to main and reads both hosts back to confirm they serve what we just sent..github/scripts/check-r2.shandcheck-gcs.shback a manual dry run that proves the credentials work without touching the published file.scripts/starter-templates.spec.mjsis the guardrail suite. It runs onnode --test, so CI needs no dependency install.Review Focus
The validator is the only thing between a content editor and a silently broken picker, so
check()inscripts/starter-templates.mjs:118-165is the part worth reading closely. Every rule there exists because the app fails quietly rather than loudly: a short tab backfills from the built-in list, and a paid card set as the auto-pick spends the user's credits on first run.Publishing is pinned to
refs/heads/mainand sits behind aconcurrencygroup. Both were review findings, and both are the kind of thing that only bites in production, so they are worth a second pair of eyes.The skill is written for the agent rather than a human reader, following Anthropic's authoring guidance. If it reads tersely, that is deliberate.
