IPAdapter Loader Node Fails to Find/List Models on M4 Mac Mini (macOS Sequoia via Stability Matrix)

### Expected Behavior

The dropdown menu on the IPAdapter loader node should list all compatible model files found within the ComfyUI/models/ipadapter/ directory, allowing the user to select one.

IPAdapter Model Loader node to find models in the folder and show a drop down menu, enabling to select one.

### Actual Behavior

When attempting to use the IPAdapter workflow in ComfyUI, the IPAdapter Model Loader node fails to function correctly. The dropdown menu first says null then unknown, does not list the IPAdapter model files (.bin or .safetensors) that are confirmed to be present in the correct directory (ComfyUI/models/ipadapter/). This prevents selecting and loading an IPAdapter model, blocking any workflows that rely on it.
The dropdown menu is empty, non-functional, or does not accurately reflect the files present on disk in the ComfyUI/models/ipadapter/ directory. No IPAdapter model can be selected.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Install ComfyUI using Stability Matrix on an M4 Mac Mini running macOS Sequoia (portable, all is in the Application/Data folder).

2. Launch ComfyUI via Stability Matrix.

3. Install the ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus custom nodes via the ComfyUI Manager.

4. Download required IPAdapter models (e.g., ip-adapter_sd15.safetensors, ip-adapter-plus_sd15.safetensors) and the corresponding CLIP Vision encoder model (models/clip_vision/).

5. Place the IPAdapter models into the ComfyUI/models/ipadapter/ directory within the Stability Matrix ComfyUI data folder. (Verify the exact path Stability Matrix uses).

6. Place the CLIP Vision model into ComfyUI/models/clip_vision/.

7. Restart ComfyUI.

8. Create a new workflow or load an example IPAdapter workflow.

9. Add an IPAdapter Model Loader node
10. Attempt to select a model using the file selection dropdown menu on the node (e.g., ipadapter_file).

### Debug Logs

```powershell
No added lines visible on terminal when adding the IPAdapter Model Loader node.
```

### Other

Additional Notes:
• File permissions for the model files and directories have been checked and appear correct.

• The files are definitely present in the specified path.

• Other model loaders : Checkpoint Loader, LoRA Loader, clip_vision loader are working correctly.

• This prevents basic IPAdapter functionality on this specific hardware/OS/installation combination.
PRIMITIVE node has no menu, Primitive/string node with file path do not lead to any useable result.

Environment:
• Operating System: macOS Sequoia

• Hardware: base Mac Mini M4

• ComfyUI Installation Method: Via Stability Matrix

• IPAdapter Node: ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus

• Python Version: brew install python-tk python@3.10 this gives both python3.13 default linked and the needed python3.10

• Browser: firefox (same problem is safari)
