Description

### 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

Workload shall be loaded with 'uninstalled' state(invalid, will be valid after custom nodes are ready)

### Actual Behavior

Workload itself is not loaded.

### Steps to Reproduce

Every single load(API/png) operation is executed.

### Debug Logs

```powershell
No logs even if I set --verbose DEBUG.
```

### Other

_No response_

**Original Comments:**

@without-ordinary:

Sounds like another new manager issue. Is this on 0.4.0?

@christian-byrne:

Can you provide an example workflow that causes the error?
