feat(security): Support System User Protection API with security migration (V3.38) (#2338 )

- Migrate Manager data path: default/ComfyUI-Manager → __manager - Force security_level=strong on outdated ComfyUI (block installations) - Auto-migrate config.ini only; backup legacy files for manual verification - Raise weak/normal- to normal during migration - Add /manager/startup_alerts API for UI warnings - Differentiate 403 responses: comfyui_outdated vs security_level - Block startup scripts execution on old ComfyUI Requires ComfyUI v0.3.76+ for full functionality. Backward compatible with older versions (uses legacy path).

+# ComfyUI-Manager V3.38: Userdata Security Migration Guide
+
+## Introduction
+
+ComfyUI-Manager V3.38 introduces a **security patch** that migrates Manager's configuration and data to a protected system path. This change leverages ComfyUI's new System User Protection API (PR #10966) to provide enhanced security isolation.
+
+This guide explains what happens during the migration and how to handle various situations.
+
+---
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Finding Your Paths
+
+When ComfyUI starts, it displays the full paths in the terminal:
+
+```
+** User directory: /path/to/ComfyUI/user
+** ComfyUI-Manager config path: /path/to/ComfyUI/user/__manager/config.ini
+```
+
+Look for these lines in your startup log to find the exact location on your system. In this guide, paths are shown relative to the `user` directory.
+
+### Path Migration
+
+| Data | Legacy Path | New Path |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| Configuration | `user/default/ComfyUI-Manager/` | `user/__manager/` |
+| Snapshots | `user/default/ComfyUI-Manager/snapshots/` | `user/__manager/snapshots/` |
+
+### Why This Change
+
+In older ComfyUI versions, the `default/` directory was **unprotected** and accessible via web APIs. If you ran ComfyUI with `--listen 0.0.0.0` or similar options to allow external connections, this data **may have been tampered with** by malicious actors.
+
+**Note:** If you only used ComfyUI locally (without `--listen` or with `--listen 127.0.0.1`), your data was not exposed to this vulnerability.
+
+The new `__manager` path uses ComfyUI's protected system directory, which:
+- **Cannot be accessed** from outside (protected by ComfyUI)
+- Isolates system settings from user data
+- Enables stricter security for remote access
+
+**This is why only `config.ini` is automatically migrated** - other files (snapshots) may have been compromised and should be manually verified before copying.
+
+---
+
+## Automatic Migration
+
+When you start ComfyUI with the new System User Protection API, Manager automatically handles the migration:
+
+### Step 1: Configuration Migration
+
+Only `config.ini` is migrated automatically.
+
+**Important**: Snapshots are **NOT** automatically migrated. You must copy them manually if needed.
+
+### Step 2: Security Level Check
+
+During migration, if your security level is below `normal` (i.e., `weak` or `normal-`), it will be automatically raised to `normal`. This is a safety measure because the security level setting itself may have been tampered with in the old version.
+
+```
+======================================================================
+[ComfyUI-Manager] WARNING: Security level adjusted
+  - Previous: 'weak' → New: 'normal'
+  - Raised to prevent unauthorized remote access.
+======================================================================
+```
+
+If you need a lower security level, you can manually edit the config after migration.
+
+### Step 3: Legacy Backup
+
+Your entire legacy directory is moved to a backup location:
+```
+user/__manager/.legacy-manager-backup/
+```
+
+This backup is preserved until you manually delete it.
+
+---
+
+## Persistent Backup Notification
+
+As long as the backup exists, Manager will remind you on **every startup**:
+
+```
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+[ComfyUI-Manager] NOTICE: Legacy backup exists
+  - Your old Manager data was backed up to:
+      /path/to/ComfyUI/user/__manager/.legacy-manager-backup
+  - Please verify and remove it when no longer needed.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+```
+
+**To stop this notification**: Delete the `.legacy-manager-backup` folder inside `user/__manager/` after confirming you don't need any data from it.
+
+---
+
+## Recovering Old Data
+
+### Snapshots
+
+If you need your old snapshots, copy the contents of `.legacy-manager-backup/snapshots/` to `user/__manager/snapshots/`.
+
+---
+
+## Outdated ComfyUI Warning
+
+If you're running an older version of ComfyUI without the System User Protection API, Manager will:
+
+1. **Force security level to `strong`** - All installations are blocked
+2. **Display warning message**:
+
+```
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+[ComfyUI-Manager] ERROR: ComfyUI version is outdated!
+  - Most operations are blocked for security.
+  - ComfyUI update is still allowed.
+  - Please update ComfyUI to use Manager normally.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+```
+
+**Solution**: Update ComfyUI to v0.3.76 or later.
+
+---
+
+## Security Levels
+
+| Level | What's Allowed |
+|-------|----------------|
+| `strong` | ComfyUI update only. All other installations blocked. |
+| `normal` | Install/update/remove registered custom nodes and models. |
+| `normal-` | Above + Install via Git URL or pip (localhost only). |
+| `weak` | All operations allowed, including from remote connections. |
+
+**Notes:**
+- `strong` is forced on outdated ComfyUI versions.
+- `normal` is the default and recommended for most users.
+- `normal-` is for developers who need to install unregistered nodes locally.
+- `weak` should only be used in isolated development environments.
+
+### Changing Security Level
+
+Edit `user/__manager/config.ini`:
+```ini
+[default]
+security_level = normal
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Messages
+
+### "comfyui_outdated" (HTTP 403)
+
+This error appears when:
+- Your ComfyUI doesn't have the System User Protection API
+- All installations are blocked until you update ComfyUI
+
+**Solution**: Update ComfyUI to the latest version.
+
+### "security_level" (HTTP 403)
+
+This error appears when:
+- Your security level blocks the requested operation
+- For example, `strong` level blocks all installations
+
+**Solution**: Lower your security level in config.ini if appropriate for your use case.
+
+---
+
+## Security Warning: Suspicious Path
+
+If you see this error on an **older** ComfyUI:
+
+```
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+[ComfyUI-Manager] ERROR: Suspicious path detected!
+  - '__manager' exists with low security level: 'weak'
+  - Please verify manually:
+      /path/to/ComfyUI/user/__manager/config.ini
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+```
+
+On older ComfyUI versions, the `__manager` directory is not normally created. If this directory exists, it may have been created externally. For safety, manually verify the contents of this directory before updating ComfyUI.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### All my installations are blocked
+
+**Check 1**: Is your ComfyUI updated?
+- Old ComfyUI forces `security_level = strong`
+- Update ComfyUI to resolve
+
+**Check 2**: What's your security level?
+- Check `user/__manager/config.ini`
+- `security_level = strong` blocks all installations
+
+### My snapshots are missing
+
+Snapshots are not automatically migrated. You need to manually copy the `snapshots` folder from inside `.legacy-manager-backup` to the `user/__manager/` directory.
+
+### I keep seeing the backup notification
+
+Delete the `.legacy-manager-backup` folder inside `user/__manager/` after confirming you don't need any data from it.
+
+### Snapshot restore is blocked
+
+On old ComfyUI (without System User API), snapshot restore is blocked because security is forced to `strong`. Update ComfyUI to enable snapshot restore.
