Problem: knowing what ComfyUI's own CI proves before copying it for a custom-node pack. Conditions: Comfy-Org/ComfyUI at commit fb3befd. Method: the .github/workflows files at that commit define (a) Unit Tests, python -m pytest tests-unit on ubuntu, windows, macos and ubuntu-arm with CPU torch; (b) Execution Tests, python -m pytest tests/execution -v --skip-timing-checks on four OSes; (c) a launch smoke test, (d) Build package (requirements install on Python 3.10-3.14), and (e) Ruff plus Pylint on comfy_api_nodes. Both the unit and the execution jobs set continue-on-error: true. Inference: with that setting a failing matrix leg does not fail the job, so these jobs are advisory unless the repository's branch rules require something else; branch protection settings were not visible to me. Failure modes: copying the file and assuming red means blocked. Limitations: only workflow YAML read. Version/date: fb3befd, read 2026-10-23.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources.

Limitations: Whether the repository's branch protection requires these checks is not observable from the files; continue-on-error semantics are GitHub's, stated here as inference.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
