zwitschi 70a7e19841 feat(tools): texture generation through the documented Stability Matrix workflows
Re-read /home/zwitschi/StabilityMatrix/Data/README.md - it now documents 141 GB of models and four
verified, core-node image/texture graphs - and wired the ones that matter into the toolchain.

comfyui_generate.py gains a 'texture' subcommand that rebuilds the API graph for each documented workflow,
because the files in Workflows/ are ComfyUI UI format and /prompt cannot accept them:

  albedobase  AlbedoBase XL v3.1, 30 steps, CFG 6.0, dpmpp_2m/karras, baked VAE
  krea2       Krea-2 Turbo NVFP4, 8 steps, CFG 1.0, euler/simple, ConditioningZeroOut, texture-fix VAE
  qwen21      Qwen-Image 2.1 int8, 25 steps, CFG 1.0, euler/simple, TextEncodeQwenImage21, texture-fix VAE

Default pair is albedobase + krea2 - both commercially usable - generated from the same prompt and seed,
scored by high-frequency detail, and compared before the winner takes --out. Smoke-tested at 512 px: both
rendered, albedobase won 18.91 against 17.51, and the resulting limestone albedo is a plausible material
sheet.

Tools/README.md documents the profiles with their settings, a licence row per profile (Qwen-Image 2.1 is
research-only and must not ship), and the two limits the workflows carry: they produce albedo only, and
ComfyUI 0.44 has no seamless sampler, so tiling has to be checked by offsetting the image 50%. Five tests
cover the graph shapes; the suite is at 108.

"""Generate image assets from the local ComfyUI instance.
The project needs textures it cannot photograph: skin detail, hair strands, fabric
and surface grime. ComfyUI runs locally at `127.0.0.1:8188`, so this is a
**human-triggered local tool**, not a network service — nothing in CI calls it, and
no credential is involved.
# what is installed
python3 Tools/comfyui_generate.py models
# one image
python3 Tools/comfyui_generate.py txt2img \
--prompt "seamless photoreal human skin texture, fine pores, neutral light" \
--negative "text, watermark, hair, clothing" \
--model juggernautXL_ragnarok.safetensors \
--size 1024x1024 --seed 7 \
--out Art/textures/generated/T_Character_SkinDetail.png
Outputs land in the given path and a JSON sidecar records the exact prompt, model,
seed and workflow, so an asset can be regenerated or rejected later without
guessing how it was made.
The server is a **Stability Matrix** install and nothing here starts it: if the tool cannot reach
`127.0.0.1:8188`, start Stability Matrix, launch ComfyUI, and re-run. The install, its launch arguments and
its model library are documented in `/home/zwitschi/StabilityMatrix/Data/README.md`.
Licence: the output is a generated image from a locally hosted model. `THIRD_PARTY
NOTICES.md` must record the model and its licence before the texture ships; the
sidecar carries what is needed to do that.
