Missing Node: LayerColor: Color of Shadow Highlight node not found

[KKonnected]

Issue Description

ComfyUI shows a "Missing Node Types" warning when attempting to load workflows containing this node. Both ComfyUI_LayerStyle and ComfyUI_LayerStyle_Advance plugins appear in the startup logs and load without any apparent errors, suggesting the installations are correct. However, the specific node remains unrecognized.

Environment

• ComfyUI: Latest version
• Python: 3.11.9
• OS: Windows
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
• Installed plugins:
  • ComfyUI_LayerStyle (Latest version)
  • ComfyUI_LayerStyle_Advance (Latest version)

Current Behavior

When loading a workflow containing the "LayerColor: Color of Shadow Highlight" node, ComfyUI displays the following error:
Warning: Missing Node Types
When loading the graph, the following node types were not found:
LayerColor: Color of Shadow Highlight

Verification Steps Taken

1. Both plugins are correctly installed
2. Both plugins load successfully during startup (verified in import logs)
3. All dependencies are installed
4. Plugin directory structures are verified

Question

Are there any additional setup steps required to enable this specific node type? Or could this be a potential bug in one of the plugins?

Due to the presence of the '&' character in node names, JSON parsing errors may occur in certain situations. The LayerColor: Color of Shadow&Highlight node is obsolete, please use LayerColor: Color of Shadow Highlight V2 replaces it.
