Summary

The ComfyUI frontend is now distributed as a pip package (comfyui-frontend-package) and needs to be installed via requirements.txt. Without this, users see warnings on every startup:

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Installed frontend version 1.34.9 is lower than the recommended version 1.36.13.
Please install the updated requirements.txt file by running:
/workspace/runpod-slim/ComfyUI/.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r /workspace/runpod-slim/ComfyUI/requirements.txt

Changes

  • First-time setup: Install requirements.txt after pip upgrade (before custom node dependencies)
  • Existing installs: Update requirements.txt on each container start (quiet mode with -q)

Applied to both start.sh and start.5090.sh.

Test Plan

  • Start a fresh pod (no existing venv) - verify no frontend warning
  • Restart an existing pod - verify frontend gets updated silently
  • Verify ComfyUI starts normally after changes

The ComfyUI frontend is now distributed as a pip package and needs to be
installed via requirements.txt. Without this, users see warnings like:

  "Installed frontend version 1.34.9 is lower than the recommended version 1.36.13"

This change:
- Installs requirements.txt during first-time setup (after pip upgrade)
- Updates requirements.txt on each container start (quiet mode)

This ensures the frontend and other pip-distributed dependencies stay
current with the ComfyUI version.
