Everything West Jefferson specific moved out to a separate repo
(pxe-site-wj): NTLARS/UDC/heat-treat backups keyed by WJ machine numbers,
CMM and Wax/Trace bay lists, WJ OpenText profiles, site-config.json, the
WJ preinstall list, and the WJ shopfloor PC types (Collections,
NoCollections, Common, Keyence, CMM, Genspect, HeatTreat, Wax/Trace,
Display, PartMarker) with GE-Enforce, machine numbers and the desktop
layout. The part-marker bench tools moved to their own repo. Dead
scripts removed: build-proxmox-iso, deploy-bios, sync_hardware_models,
mirror-from-gold, pull-bios, startnet-template.cmd.
Shopfloor is one generic type, gea-shopfloor-standard, with today's
timing:
- PPKG at first logon (unattend Order 10, unchanged).
- Install-AppList.ps1 runs C:\PreInstall\preinstall.json during setup.
- A new SYSTEM task, GE Shopfloor Post-PPKG, runs postppkg.json once
after the post-PPKG reboot. It also clears AutoLogonCount after the
ShopFloor handover (the Users-level monitor can be denied that HKLM
write) and removes the Intune Sync task when done.
- Both lists ship empty. A site adds entries and installers.
- WinPE choice 3 goes straight to the PPKG menu. Staging, fetch and heal
carry only the generic payload. The webapp's shopfloor sub-menu editor
is gone, and the imaging tiles name the new stages.
- The playbook deploys the empty lists only if missing. It now deploys
the PowerShell 7 MSI the shopfloor unattend installs, which it never
did before.
Blancco site settings move into the webapp (Updates > Blancco releases):
business location, licensing Wi-Fi SSID and password. They are rendered
into the served preferences.xml and applied to every staged release, and
are seeded from site-vars (site_name, blancco_wifi_ssid,
blancco_wifi_password) only while none exist. The repo XML carries no
site values; the plaintext Wi-Fi password is gone from it.
New site_name and site_timezone settings: report and evidence-pack site
name, server clock and webapp time zone. No more West Jefferson defaults
in webapp/config.py or the dashboard title. Sync-BPRT.ps1 gets the
server address filled in at download instead of WJ's GE address.
USB on Windows:
- scripts/Build-PxeUsb.ps1 runs the same checks as build-usb.sh. It
writes one FAT32 CIDATA partition (ISO files plus patched grub.cfg plus
payload) with diskpart and reads every file back by SHA-256.
- Tested with Windows PowerShell 5.1 in the win11 VM, and the layout
installs and first-boots in the pxetest VM.
- scripts/stage-usb-share.sh stages the build folder on a share.
- site-content/ is optional for both builders.
KB docs/kb/How_To_Deploy_PXE_Server_New_Site.html: new-site deployment,
Windows only, with a site-vars.yml guide.
Checks: webapp tests pass (5 suites); the unattend lint and playbook
syntax checks pass; every .ps1 parses; there are no WJ hosts, IPs, names
or PC types in playbook/, webapp/, scripts/ or autoinstall/.
Restyled to the same row pattern (one line, details in an expandable
body, one action plus a menu, tokens for light and dark):
- hardware coverage, audit log (family chips, destructive actions in
red, client-side filters, first 300 rows), Clonezilla backups,
enrollment packages (active package marked and undeletable, MCL flags
with a visible legend)
- image Overview, OS and packages, Unattend (sticky save bar), Import
- Dell, iPXE, Blancco and BPRT update pages; Dell history links to the
rollback review instead of rolling back on one click
- boot menu editor (tabs, rows with a menu, lint chips that jump to the
line, tokens instead of hard-coded dark colours) and the imaging
session detail page
Fixes found on the way:
- BPRT batch Activate never asked to confirm: a hidden input named
'confirm' shadowed window.confirm in the inline handler, so the form
submitted without a prompt. It now calls window.confirm.
- Backup upload refused when a backup with that name exists, unless
'Replace the existing backup' is ticked (it overwrote silently).
- app.js: em dashes in comments replaced (plain ASCII).
The prior 'nest shopfloor menu as a tab' commit only captured the shopfloor_menu.html deletion - the git add also named the just-removed file, which errored the add and staged nothing else. This commits the actual integration that was already deployed to preview and prod: startnet_editor GET passes shopfloor_items/shopfloor_available, the Shopfloor Sub-Menu tab pane + sf-prefixed JS in startnet_editor.html, /shopfloor-menu redirects into the tab, and the sidebar 'startnet.cmd' -> 'Boot Menu' rename.
Rebuilt the /startnet editor (Fable/Opus 4-stage build) into tabs:
- Settings: server IP (+ menu timeout/default when a choice construct exists) as form fields; apply rewrites only the targeted tokens.
- Boot Menu: add/remove/reorder image entries; regenerates only the menu echo/dispatch + action blocks, refuses reorders that would desync the enrollment %choice% router.
- Raw: full-text editor (still source of truth) with line-number gutter, batch syntax highlighting, a lint panel (unmatched goto/label, CRLF), and diff-vs-current.
- History: timestamped snapshots on every save, per-row diff + restore.
New wim.py helpers (framework-free): parse/apply_settings, parse/apply_boot_menu, lint_startnet, save/list/read_snapshot, unified_diff; BACKUPS_DIR=/var/lib/pxe-webapp/startnet-backups.
Fable review fixed a CRITICAL pre-existing bug: update_startnet's newline=CRLF write retranslated posted CRLF into \r\r\n, corrupting boot.wim on every raw save; now normalizes to LF first. Also fixed a false CRLF lint warning (verbatim read) and menu payload validation. All JS inline (no CDN).
- Accessibility: dark ink (#00003d) on warning/success buttons, badges, and success alert - white text on #ff9500/#0ad64f failed WCAG AA (~2:1); dark-on-bright now passes.
- Heading hierarchy: sidebar brand h1 -> div.brand-title (with matching CSS selector), and standardized all page-header titles to a single <h1> per page (8 templates were h2).
- Prefix-safe modal JS: dashboard/backups/reports/enrollment delete+clone actions now build their form action from url_for(...'__K__'/'__F__').replace(...) instead of hardcoded paths, so they survive a URL-prefix mount.
Adopt the shopdb-flask visual language across the PXE webapp (presentation only, Flask/Jinja logic unchanged):
- New static/pxe-theme.css: GE Aerospace palette (atmosphere-blue sidebar, sky-blue primary, avionics-green), Inter font stack, light/dark theming via data-theme + localStorage (key pxe-theme) with system-pref fallback, and card/button/table/form/badge/alert component styles layered over Bootstrap.
- base.html: shopdb-style sidebar (logo + title, nav sections, footer light/dark toggle) + theme boot script.
- All 13 content templates restyled to the new page-header + card/table/badge vocabulary; unattend_editor grouped per unattend-UX research.
- Fixed a pre-existing CRITICAL bug found during review: nested <form>s in image_config.html made Adopt submit the delete form and Delete-selected post every orphan filename regardless of checkboxes; split into standalone forms wired via the form= attribute.
Built by a Fable-orchestrated Opus workflow (17 agents). All 14 templates parse clean under Jinja2.
Single-site bay-stuck issue at WJ: GE Intune Report IP script filters
Get-NetIPAddress on StartsWith("10.") and posts everything matching
to the GE Tines webhook. Bays at WJ get the PXE LAN 10.9.100.x IP
captured and reported -> GE backend tags bays as on a non-corp 10.x
subnet -> dynamic group eligibility for SFLD policy never matches.
Other GE sites work because their PXE LANs aren't on 10.x at all.
Renumber PXE LAN to RFC1918 172.16.9.0/24 so the GE filter naturally
skips wired PXE addresses without any disable-NIC dance.
Server-side already in flight (netplan dual-bound, dnsmasq scope +
boot URL repointed, blancco preferences + grub.cfg + iPXE GetPxeScript
all sed'd to 172.16.9.1). This commit is the playbook / scripts /
docs side: 109 hits across 35 files sed'd in one shot.
After this lands + boot.wim is rebuilt + bays renumber off DHCP,
the 10.9.100.1 binding will be dropped from netplan as the final
cleanup step.
