Why

Comfy agents tell users to refresh their ComfyUI tab when it isn't needed. The comfy-custom-nodes-validation fallback skill said:

If the result reports object_info_stale, restart ComfyUI and refresh before treating the catalog as proof of what loaded.

There are two ways to misread that bare "refresh":

• as a browser reload: the reported symptom;
• as comfy nodes refresh: that re-pulls node annotations from comfy-complete and never touches /object_info (refresh_cmd → refresh_annotations()).

What changes

• Skill text: it now says what object_info_stale means: the result was served from a cache after the live fetch failed. The action is to restart ComfyUI and re-run that same command, and to trust the catalog only once the warning is gone. It also says explicitly that comfy nodes refresh and a browser reload change neither. This matches the existing guidance in comfy/SKILL.md and the object_info_stale hint in error_codes.py.
• Context-budget fixture: custom_node_context_budget.json is updated to the slice's new size (826 → 987 bytes).
• New test: test_custom_node_validation_names_what_to_refresh rejects a bare "restart … refresh" and any "refresh/reload the browser/page/tab" instruction, and pins the corrected wording. It fails on main.

Verification

• ruff check . and ruff format --check . are clean.
• pytest tests/comfy_cli/skills: 83 passed.
• Full pytest: 10168 passed, 6 failed. The same 6 fail on main (tests/comfy_cli/agent/test_command.py permissions tests and test_http.py::test_an_unloadable_supplement_falls_through_to_the_platform_roots), so they're unrelated.
• Manual: this changes skill text only, with no CLI behaviour change. The installed-skill content is covered by the existing installer tests.

Search notes

I also searched every bundled skill and all user-facing CLI output in this repo for refresh, reload or browser-tab advice. Nothing else tells an agent to have the user refresh. The custom-node slices already say "do not promise hot reload".

Related: Comfy-Org/cloud#14149 (agent prompt), Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend#20903 (frontend auto-refresh after an agent restart).

Update

Rebased onto main. Removed an internal ticket ID from the test docstring (it failed the public-repo hygiene scan). pytest tests/comfy_cli/skills: 83 passed; the new test fails with main's skill text and passes here.
