Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Only fixing the AttributeError: visitors with visit_Num/visit_Str keep 'working' but silently skip literals Limitations: - Error text via WebFetch summarizer of rgthree-comfy#775 Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/main/Doc/whatsnew/3.14.rst (release_notes, 2025-10-07, documented_behavior): 3.14 removed ast Bytes, Ellipsis, NameConstant, Num, Str (aliases of Constant since 3.8, warnings since 3.12); visit_Num etc. no longer called; Constant.n/.s removed. - https://github.com/rgthree/rgthree-comfy/issues/775 (github_issue, 2026-09-26, reported_symptom): power_puter.py 'isinstance(stmt, (ast.Constant, ast.Num))' fails on Python 3.14+; PR #776.
