config.ini: atomic replace and a lock around read-modify-write - #1063
config.ini is cross-process state: the background server pid, tracking consent, user id. Two failure modes meet on one write:
1. Non-atomic write.write_config() opened the file with "w": a kill mid-write left a truncated ini that configparser chokes on for every later command (a ValueError from the background-record parse in load(), or a silently dropped consent flag).
2. Lost updates.set() wrote the process's in-memory snapshot. Two parallel comfy processes (a launcher and an agent are the documented load) each loaded their own snapshot at startup, and whoever wrote last silently erased the other's keys. The recorded pid of a live background server was the costly loss: comfy stop then reports nothing running and the server is orphaned.
Writes now go through mkstemp + os.replace (inline helper: config_manager cannot import file_utils.atomic_write_text, that module pulls in ui, which pulls this module back), and set() re-reads the on-disk state under locking.file_lock — the module locking.py's own header says it was written for ConfigManager — merging the single key into it. Direct in-memory mutations followed by write_config() keep their semantics.
A regression test replays the two-process interleave; another pins the no-debris, whole-file properties of the replace. 23 config tests pass.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Configuration updates are more reliable when multiple processes make changes, helping preserve settings written by separate sessions.
Saving merges settings from disk with local changes while respecting keys explicitly removed from the configuration.
Saving replaces the configuration file atomically, reducing the risk of incomplete files and cleaning up temporary files after failed writes.
Configuration files are read using UTF-8 encoding for consistent text handling across systems.
ConfigManager now locks configuration writes, merges existing disk keys with in-memory values, and replaces the file atomically. It tracks explicitly removed keys and clears removal markers when keys are set. Tests cover writes from separate managers, temporary-file cleanup, and pending in-memory changes.
Changes: Configuration persistence
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Merge and persist configuration comfy_cli/config_manager.py, tests/comfy_cli/test_config_manager.py
write_config locks the config path, merges disk keys absent from memory unless they are marked removed, and writes the result through a temporary file and atomic replacement. set clears the removal marker for its key. clear_background_process marks the background key removed. load reads the file with UTF-8 encoding. Tests check key preservation across managers, pending in-memory changes, and temporary-file cleanup.
Comfy-Org/comfy-cli#1064: Both changes use atomic replacement for text files. This PR applies it to config.ini; PR #1064 applies it to the OpenAPI cache.
Comfy-Org/comfy-cli#1059: PR #1059 records a background log path through ConfigManager, whose write behavior this PR changes.
The atomic replace and lock improve config safety, but a later config write can still drop a background-server record that another process saved, or restore an older PID. Fix the removal-marker lifecycle and decide how to track local changes before merging.

Full details: Architecture Decision Compliance
Explanation
The prior architecture finding remains unresolved. The diff creates a durable cross-process config persistence contract: write_config() acquires config.ini.lock, reads disk as merge authority, and atomically replaces the whole file at comfy_cli/config_manager.py:28-96; set() and clear_background_process() establish in-memory ownership and removal semantics at lines 98-104 and 252-266. The new tests pin these persistence invariants. The pull request changes only comfy_cli/config_manager.py and its tests; it adds or amends no ADR. The Accepted ADRs AUTOMATION-0003, DEPENDENCIES-0001, and OPERATIONS-0002 address unrelated boundaries. The description explains the circular-import implementation choice, but it does not state that this persistence boundary is local and reversible.
Resolution
Add and accept an ADR for config persistence, or amend an applicable ADR. Document the .lock protocol, atomic whole-file invariant, on-disk merge ownership in set(), UTF-8 compatibility, advisory-lock limits, and validation tests. If this is intended as a local reversible implementation detail, state its scope and rollback path explicitly in the PR description or an ADR.

Use one encoding for config writes and reads.
If the default text encoding is not UTF-8, this line writes UTF-8 but set() and load() read with the default encoding. A non-ASCII workspace path can then become corrupted or fail to load. Specify UTF-8 on both read paths, and account for existing files written with the former default encoding. (docs.python.org)

Stop set() when the existing configuration cannot be read.
ConfigParser.read() silently skips a file it cannot open. In set(), fresh then stays empty, and the atomic replace writes only the requested key over the existing file. Other settings, such as the background server pid and consent, are lost. Opening the file explicitly and calling read_file() lets the OSError propagate, so set() fails before it writes.

… merged write
- set() used ConfigParser.read(), which silently skips a file it cannot
open: the atomic replace would then write only the requested key over
every other setting. It opens the file explicitly so the OSError
propagates before anything is written.
- after the merged write the instance adopts the on-disk state
(foreign keys and sections), while keys it already holds in memory
keep their values — pending direct mutations keep working, and a
later write_config() no longer deletes what another process added.
A test replays the launch.py direct-mutation pattern across two
instances.
Round 2: the adoption lived in set(), but a later write_config() from
the same stale instance still deleted keys another process had added
(the launch.py direct-mutation pattern). The adoption moved into
write_config itself — under the lock, before the render — and keys
this process explicitly removed in-memory (clear_background_process)
are tracked in _removed_keys so a pending removal is not undone by
re-adopting the stale record. Adopted values escape % to keep the
storage interpolation convention.

After clear_background_process() writes the removal, _removed_keys still contains the background key. If another process records a new background server, a later set() on this manager skips that disk record and replaces the file without it. Clear removal markers only after _atomic_write() succeeds.

Track local changes against the loaded baseline before merging disk values.
Separate CLI processes can hold stale ConfigManager snapshots. If one process writes a new PID and another later calls set() for an unrelated key, the second process keeps its old PID because write_config() only adopts disk keys that are absent in memory. It then writes the old PID back.
This is not a regression from the merge base, which rewrote the whole in-memory configuration. However, the current merge does not fix the lost-update case targeted by this PR. Merge against the loaded baseline, or use equivalent change tracking, so only local changes override current disk values while direct in-memory mutations before write_config() retain their semantics.
