Fixes #15781

MiniMaxH3.memory_usage_factor (comfy/supported_models.py) was 0.114,
which underestimates the real sampling working set by roughly 1.45x on a
24GB GPU. Since MIN_WEIGHT_MEMORY_RATIO is 0.0 on NVIDIA, the weight
budget computed by load_models_gpu() reduces to free VRAM - estimated inference memory with no safety margin, so the underestimate gets spent on
resident weights instead and sampling then OOMs inside SamplerCustomAdvanced.

The issue reporter measured that raising the factor to 0.17 (~1.49x) makes
both of their reproduction cases (480x720x107 frames and 736x1152x192 frames
on an RTX 4090) complete instead of OOMing, with under 4% overhead from the
extra weight streaming.

Test plan

Added tests-unit/comfy_test/test_minimax_h3_memory.py, which calls the real
memory_required() formula and asserts the new factor yields at least the
1.45x increase over 0.114 that the issue measured as necessary.

Confirmed the test fails against the unfixed value:

$ git checkout HEAD~1 -- comfy/supported_models.py  # 0.114
$ python -m pytest tests-unit/comfy_test/test_minimax_h3_memory.py -v
FAILED ... assert 11639717049.1392 >= (11639717049.1392 * 1.45)
$ git checkout HEAD -- comfy/supported_models.py  # 0.17
$ python -m pytest tests-unit/comfy_test/test_minimax_h3_memory.py -v
1 passed in 4.63s

Ran the full unit suite and ruff after the fix:

$ python -m pytest tests-unit -q
1379 passed, 10 skipped in 39.19s
$ ruff check comfy/supported_models.py tests-unit/comfy_test/test_minimax_h3_memory.py
All checks passed!

This change was prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code) and verified by
running the added test, the full unit test suite, and ruff as described above.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request increases MiniMaxH3.memory_usage_factor from 0.114 to 0.17. It adds a regression test that disables optimized attention, enables CPU mode when CUDA is unavailable, compares the old and configured estimates, and verifies that the configured estimate covers the measured 1.45x shortfall.

Fixed issue severity: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ea227

The change raises the MiniMaxH3 memory estimate to reduce sampling OOMs and is supported by passing tests and lint checks. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the new test should restore shared CLI state to avoid influencing later tests.

Do not mutate cli_args.cpu during module import.

On a CPU-only host, Line 6 changes shared CLI state during test collection and never restores it. Later tests can observe cli_args.cpu=True, which makes device and offloading behavior depend on test collection order. Scope the override with monkeypatch or restore the original value after the imports.

Fixed the shared-state leak: cli_args.cpu is now restored to its original value right after the module-level imports finish, so it no longer stays mutated for the rest of the test session.

Note: I didn't use the monkeypatch-inside-test approach from the suggested diff, since that would set cli_args.cpu too late — the module-level imports (comfy.model_management etc.) already run at collection time and need the CPU override in place before they execute. On a genuine CPU-only host, deferring it to the test body reproducibly crashes import with AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled from get_torch_device(). Verified the restore-after-import version still passes (pytest tests-unit/comfy_test/test_minimax_h3_memory.py), the full suite still passes (1379 passed, 10 skipped), and ruff check is clean.
