### Custom Node Testing

- [x] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)

### Expected Behavior

LTXV Reference Audio (ID-LoRA) Node Missing / Red Error

### Actual Behavior

Issue: LTXV Reference Audio (ID-LoRA) Node Missing / Workflow Failure in Latest Windows Portable Release (v0.18.1 / v0.18.2)

Description
When using the latest official ComfyUI Windows portable zip packages (v0.18.1 and v0.18.2, as of March 27, 2026), the **LTXV Reference Audio (ID-LoRA)** node cannot be found in the node library. Meanwhile, workflows that rely on this node will throw errors and display broken (red) nodes upon loading.

This issue arises because the latest node updates and fixes for LTXV/LTXAV models have not been synced to the pre-built Windows portable release packages.

Temporary Workaround
To resolve this issue immediately, you can replace the core ComfyUI files in your portable installation with the latest source code from the main branch:
1. Download the latest source code ZIP from the main branch: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI
2. Or clone the latest main branch via git:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI.git
```
3. Replace all files in the `comfyui` folder of your Windows portable installation with the files from the downloaded/cloned source code.
4. Restart ComfyUI. The node will then be available, and the affected workflow will run normally.

It would be greatly appreciated if the official team could update the Windows portable release packages to sync the latest LTXV-related node updates and fixes, allowing users to access and use the node directly without manual file replacement.

### Steps to Reproduce

Latest ComfyUI Windows Portable Packages (v0.18.1 & v0.18.2, as of March 27, 2026)
