Cached models download issue

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the Serverless Model Caching feature with the official ComfyUI image, but the model isn't being found.

Image: docker.io/runpod/worker-comfyui:5.5.0-base

Endpoint Setting: I am not using environment variables. Instead, I'm using the "Model" field in the Endpoint settings, as per the Model Caching docs.

Model: black-forest-labs/flux.1-kontext-dev

According to the documentation, this should download the model to /runpod-volume/models.

The Problem: When I run a workflow, my CheckpointLoaderSimple node fails with the error: ... "ckpt_name: 'flux.1-kontext-dev.safetensors' not in []".

This [] error implies that ComfyUI is not aware of the /runpod-volume/models directory.

My Question: Is the runpod/worker-comfyui image supposed to automatically detect and add /runpod-volume/models to ComfyUI's search path (e.g., in extra_model_paths.yaml)? Or is there an extra step I'm missing to make this official image "see" the models provided by the Model Caching feature?
