Support Policy

Support Tiers

Tier 1: Fully Supported

Definition: Validated by CI/CD or core maintainers. Critical bugs block releases.

• Environment: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), Windows 11.
• Python: 3.10, 3.11.
• ComfyUI host: current compatibility-matrix reference anchor and close neighbors.
• Frontend host: current standalone frontend reference anchor for the sidebar extension contract.

Tier 2: Best Effort

Definition: Should work, but not actively validated. Bugs fixed as resources allow.

• Environment: macOS, older Windows versions.
• Python: 3.12.
• ComfyUI: nightly builds and farther-from-anchor upstream drift.
• Desktop host: legacy fixed-bundle variants outside the recorded legacy anchor and current managed-install variants whose installed host components fall outside their own supported anchors.

Tier 3: Unsupported

Definition: Known to be incompatible or end-of-life.

• Python: < 3.9.
• OS: Windows 7/8.

Deprecation Policy

• Notice Period: Breaking changes will be announced 1 minor version in advance.
• Legacy Support: Deprecated features (e.g., legacy MOLTBOT_ env vars) are supported for at least 1 major version cycle.

Compatibility Anchor Policy

• The authoritative compatibility reference points are recorded in compatibility_matrix.md.
• ComfyUI, standalone ComfyUI_frontend, legacy desktop, and current comfy_desktop are tracked as separate anchors.
• Legacy Desktop is a fixed bundle and must be evaluated against its recorded core/frontend versions.
• Current Comfy-Desktop is a managed-install generation; hosted ComfyUI and frontend versions are installation-specific and must not be inferred from the application version.
• Upstream reference refreshes should update the matrix anchors before being treated as the new default support baseline.
