 Первый запуск качает backend в `/opt/swarmui/dlbackend` (это bind на data volume). Иначе каждый recreate потеряет часы.
 
-**gpu-rent:** после `systemctl start swarmui` вызывается headless `InstallConfirmWS` (`backend=comfyui`, `models=none`), если `GetCurrentStatus` ещё `empty`. Без этого UI отвечает HTTP 200, а Comfy/torch так и не появляются — раньше `wait_backend_idle` ошибочно считал `empty` = Idle.
+**gpu-rent:** после `systemctl start swarmui` вызывается headless `InstallConfirmWS` (`backend=comfyui`, `models=none`), если `GetCurrentStatus` ещё `empty`. `IsInstalled: true` пишется только когда Comfy уже на диске; на первом старте (или если прошлый `up` оставил флаг без `dlbackend/ComfyUI`) флаг сбрасывается — иначе Swarm отвечает `Server is already installed!` и не клонирует Comfy. Без этого UI отвечает HTTP 200, а Comfy/torch так и не появляются — раньше `wait_backend_idle` ошибочно считал `empty` = Idle.
 
 **Скорость без потери качества (gpu-rent):** после Idle backend, на GPU с compute capability ≥ 8.0 и ≥16 GiB VRAM — SageAttention. `Performance.AllowGpuSpecificOptimizations` у Swarm по умолчанию уже включает `--fast` для 30xx+. Если venv ещё не появился — маркер без `pip_ok`, догонит на следующем `up`.
