Use runtime-determined configuration sources instead of hardcoded values or static file parsing when more reliable alternatives are available. This improves robustness, cross-platform compatibility, and deployment flexibility.

Examples of preferred approaches:

• Use importlib.metadata.version("package-name") instead of parsing requirements.txt files for version information
• Use win32api.GetSystemDirectory() instead of hardcoded paths like "C:\Windows\System32"
• Read from runtime environment (like installed packages) rather than static configuration files when both options exist
• Construct paths dynamically using os.path.join() instead of hardcoded absolute paths

Why this matters:

• Static files can become outdated or contain invalid data (like “max” instead of numbers in cgroup files)
• Hardcoded paths break in different deployment environments or operating systems
• Runtime sources reflect the actual current state rather than potentially stale configuration files
• Dynamic configuration reduces maintenance burden and improves reliability across different environments

Implementation:

# Instead of hardcoded paths:
ICACLS_PATH = r"C:\Windows\System32\icacls.exe"

# Use dynamic system paths:
ICACLS_PATH = os.path.join(win32api.GetSystemDirectory(), "icacls.exe")

# Instead of parsing static files:
with open("requirements.txt", "r") as f:
    version = f.readline().split("=")[-1].strip()

# Use runtime package information:
from importlib.metadata import version
frontend_version = version("comfyui-frontend-package")
