+- Fixed default Stable Diffusion prompt encoding failures on newer ComfyUI hosts.
+- Extras now preserves source transparency through resizing, upscaling, blending, face restoration, and color correction.
+- Dedicated Qwen Image 2.1 prompt enhancement models are excluded from generation encoder selection, preventing incompatible automatic or manual pairings.
+- Expanded source compatibility checks for newer ComfyUI, frontend, and workflow-template versions while keeping the documented host compatibility scopes separate.
+- Updated frontend dependencies to address known security advisories.
+- Verified saved SD1.5 PNG prompt metadata with ordinary, weighted, multiline, Unicode, and long prompts.

 - Added official-template-backed `Qwen-Image 2.1` txt2img and `Qwen-Image 2.1 Edit` profiles with a dedicated Qwen Image 2.1 encoder and host-inventory matching for the diffusion model, text encoder, and VAE.

 RookieUI requires Python 3.10 or newer and must be installed into the same Python environment used by ComfyUI.
 
 `ControlNet` and `ADetailer` support are built into RookieUI itself. You do not need to install separate external custom-node packs just to use RookieUI's integrated ControlNet or ADetailer surfaces.

 - SD1.5, SDXL, Pony, Illustrious, and Noob use RookieUI's Stable Diffusion parity text-encode path for A1111-style prompt semantics, single-node conditioning composition, parser-mode selection, old-emphasis compatibility, and inventory-aware embeddings / textual inversion handling
 - Official non-SD template presets now surface family-specific controls only when the upstream workflow exposes them, including `Shift`, `Flux Guidance`, and `Prompt Enhancement`
 - Fixed template-owned encoder bundles keep `Text Encoder` controls hidden on the shipped official non-SD preset matrix instead of implying a user-selectable pairing that the official template does not expose
+- Qwen Image 2.1 profiles use the authored prompt directly; dedicated prompt enhancement models cannot be selected as generation text encoders
 - Model inventory includes current ComfyUI postprocessing-related catalog categories such as upscale models, latent upscalers, and background-removal models; some categories are diagnostic-only until a shipped RookieUI surface uses them directly

@@ -934,6 +953,8 @@ Behavior and compatibility:
 - Compatibility is validated against separate tested ComfyUI Core, frontend, Desktop, and workflow-template source snapshots rather than inferred from one mutable "latest ComfyUI" version.
 - The general tested source envelope covers ComfyUI Core 0.34, its bundled frontend 1.51.9, standalone frontend 1.54.1, and `comfyui-workflow-templates` 0.11.54; this is a pinned compatibility basis rather than a blanket claim for every future host build.
 - Qwen Image 2.1 has a separate scoped source contract for Core 0.37 (bundled frontend 1.53.6), standalone frontend 1.55.12, and workflow templates 0.11.66. That contract covers the Qwen node, template graph, and affected frontend API surfaces; it does not imply that unrelated newer template workflows are supported.
+- Additional source-contract checks cover Core 0.39.0, standalone frontend 1.57.0, and workflow templates 0.11.76; live compatibility remains scoped to the tested environments described here.
+- SD1.5 default generation and saved PNG prompt readback have also been checked on Core 0.38.0 with CyberRealistic V9 FP16.
 - RookieUI registers its sidebar through the current ComfyUI frontend sidebar-tab surface when available, including cleanup for stale RookieUI tab instances during re-registration.
 - Older or reduced host surfaces can still fall back to the legacy launcher path instead of failing the extension bootstrap.
 - Frontend API calls prefer the host-provided `fetchApi` resolver when available, so RookieUI requests can follow the active ComfyUI frontend routing context while preserving canonical RookieUI routes.
