…pport Add 'advanced' boolean parameter to Input and WidgetInput base classes and propagate to all typed Input subclasses (Boolean, Int, Float, String, Combo, MultiCombo, Webcam, MultiType, MatchType, ImageCompare). When set to True, the frontend will hide these inputs by default in a collapsible 'Advanced Inputs' section in the right side panel, reducing visual clutter for power-user options. This enables nodes to expose advanced configuration options (like encoding parameters, quality settings, etc.) without overwhelming typical users. Frontend support: ComfyUI_frontend PR #7812
