Reports (/reports):
- Grouped by month of the erasure date inside each report (not the file
date), newest first; older months fold. Each month header shows the
evidence pack state (builds on the 1st, to upload with Download, or
uploaded).
- One line per report: erasure date, system serial, model, drives,
result ('Successful, fallback' when a failed attempt fell back to
another standard), cloud and ServiceNow state. The row body lists every
drive and erasure attempt with the failure reason.
- Search by system serial, model, drive serial or file; filters for
failed, not in cloud and to tick. 'To tick' uses the to-do's 30-day
window; older unticked reports read 'Not ticked'.
- Export and the evidence pack download moved into header popovers.
Report (/reports/view/<file>):
- Header with serial, model and the per-drive result; a notice names
the drive to destroy until its COD is recorded; Copy ServiceNow note.
- One card per drive with every attempt, a step track and the failure
reason; steps and error counts fold. System, customer and provenance
(integrity signature folded, copyable) on the side. Sizes in decimal
units, as on the list.
- blancco_evidence.failure_note() is shared with the ServiceNow list.
To-do (/reports/todo):
- The ServiceNow tick list is now its first section (period and show
ticked filters); /reports/servicenow redirects there.
- Five counters; one line per item with details in the row body.
- COD recorded, Mark uploaded and Resolved confirm first (the attribute
quoting is safe for JSON) and can be undone for 24 hours from the
page. The header total includes hardware gaps, matching the sidebar.
Automates the Blancco parts of the onsite-support CMMC playbook:
- ENT-056/158 evidence pack: /reports/evidence?month=YYYY-MM returns
ENT-056_<Site>_<YYYY-MM>.zip (summary.csv, README, each report's XML
and PDF). pxe-blancco-evidence.timer saves last month's pack to the
reports share's evidence/ folder on the 1st (Persistent).
- ENT-045/159 ServiceNow tick list: /reports/servicenow lists recent
reports as "Wiped" or "Blancco Wipe failed" with a pre-written
destruction note, copy buttons and Done (CSRF-protected).
- Cloud upload: blancco-progress.py posts each report's upload result
("Sending report document id" -> "Report sent to MC") to
/reports/cloud-status (CSRF-exempt like /imaging/status); the Reports
page and the CSVs show it, so a wipe missing from BMP is visible.
- CSV gains failure_reason (exception messages, failed steps, error
counts), business_location and cloud_upload.
- Preferences: business_location "West Jefferson" (config.BLANCCO_SITE)
and pdf+xml reports; the report copier now copies the PDF too, named
after its XML. .part and hidden files are not listed as reports.
State (cloud confirmations, ServiceNow ticks) is a JSON file at
/var/lib/pxe-webapp/blancco-state.json, off the report share.
/reports/export?range=1m|3m|6m|12m&format=csv|zip. CSV has one row per
erased drive (system and drive serials, standard, result, times, licence
consumption id). ZIP holds the original XML/PDF reports plus summary.csv.
Reports are selected by the date inside each XML, falling back to mtime
only when it is missing. Exports are audit-logged.
- 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.

Drops the filename, type, and size columns from the Blancco Reports
list - operators want bay-identification fields, not file metadata.
Filename moves to a row hover tooltip (title attribute) so it is still
recoverable for ad-hoc lookups.
Adds a Result column derived from each XML report's overall erasure
state:
* Successful -> green badge (all erasure entries report Successful)
* Failed -> red badge (any erasure entry reports a non-Successful state)
* other -> grey badge with the verbatim state
* blank/non-XML -> dash
The state roll-up lives in the blancco_reports route's per-file parse
loop next to the existing serial/model extraction.

Adds end-to-end progress tracking for PXE imaging sessions and surfaces
each Blancco report's BIOS serial in the report list.
webapp:
* services/imaging_status.py - JSON-per-serial state store under
IMAGING_DIR (default /var/log/pxe-imaging). Atomic write via
tempfile + rename. log_tail capped at 50 lines. Merges partial
updates so clients can post just the current_stage tick.
* config.py - new IMAGING_DIR env-overridable path.
* services/csrf.py - explicit exempt list for machine-to-machine
endpoints; /imaging/status is the first entry. Air-gapped LAN;
trust-by-network for client posts.
* app.py - four new routes:
GET /imaging dashboard (renders all sessions)
POST /imaging/status client status push (JSON body)
GET /imaging/<serial>.json raw session JSON for ad-hoc polling
POST /imaging/delete/<s> clear a session from the dashboard
Also parses each Blancco XML in the /reports list to surface
system.serial + system.model columns.
* templates/imaging.html - Bootstrap dashboard with per-session
cards (state badge, progress bar, stage idx/total, mac, elapsed,
log tail). meta http-equiv refresh=5 for auto-tick.
* templates/base.html - new "Imaging Progress" nav entry.
* templates/reports.html - Serial + Model columns added.
playbook:
* shopfloor-setup/Shopfloor/lib/Send-PxeStatus.ps1 - new helper.
Dot-source this then call Send-PxeStatus -Stage X -StageIndex N
-StageTotal M from any stage script. BIOS serial via CIM, MAC via
Get-NetAdapter, pctype + machinenumber from C:\Enrollment.
Failures are swallowed to a local log so a network blip doesn't
block imaging.
* shopfloor-setup/Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1 - dot-sources helper +
posts at three coarse milestones (start, PPKG enrollment,
handoff to Monitor-IntuneProgress).
* shopfloor-setup/gea-shopfloor-keyence/09-Setup-Keyence.ps1 -
posts at session start + after Install-FromManifest with
succeeded/failed status derived from $rc. Other 09-Setup-*.ps1
scripts can follow the same pattern.
ID is BIOS serial (stable across WinPE -> Windows transition and
across reboots, unlike hostname which is random pre-PPKG). Operator
already knows the serial of the bay they imaged.

End-to-end fixes for Blancco Drive Eraser PXE flow uncovered by chasing
"reports never reach SMB share" across two air-gapped sites:
playbook/blancco-init.sh:
* Drop silent || true on wget of preferences.xml + config.xml. Fail
loud with shell-drop if download or marker grep fails. Background:
airootfs /opt/scripts/validate_preferences.sh restores
/albus/preferences.save (factory defaults, empty network_share) if
xmllint fails. wget failure made every report silently land nowhere.
* Clobber /albus/preferences.save with the same served file so even if
the validator fallback fires, the SMB target survives.
* Bind-mount /dev/null over /sys/power/{state,disk,mem_sleep,autosleep}
before switch_root. Albus's license-retry path writes /sys/power/state
directly (bypassing systemd targets); this is the last-line block.
* /dev/null symlinks for sleep/suspend/hibernate systemd targets in the
airootfs overlay + logind drop-in with IdleAction/Handle*=ignore.
Three independent layers because cmdline systemd.mask alone is bypassed
by direct /sys/power/state writes.
* xinitrc.d/00-no-screen-blank.sh runs xset s off -dpms + setterm
-blank 0 -powerdown 0 so the Blancco GUI doesn't blank during long
erasures.
* Removed the 20-failsafeDriver.conf "modesetting" pin. modesetting
needs DRM/KMS which we disable on kernel cmdline; "vesa" also failed
on NVIDIA. With the pin gone Xorg auto-picks fbdev which uses the
kernel framebuffer from vga=normal - works across Intel, AMD, and
older NVIDIA without nouveau.
playbook/pxe_server_setup.yml:
* dnsmasq.conf: explicit empty-value dhcp-option=3 + dhcp-option=6.
Without them, dnsmasq defaults to sending its own IP as router AND
DNS. Commenting the configured-value lines did NOT disable the push
(root cause of "wired keeps picking up 10.9.100.1 as gateway").
* Split the Blancco config.img extraction and preferences.xml deploy
into separate tasks. The previous shell-with-creates: gate caused
playbook re-runs to skip the prefs deploy entirely after first run.
* Added a validation task that runs python3 xml parse + grep on the
deployed preferences.xml to fail the playbook at deploy time if the
SMB markers are missing.
* Added Environment=TZ=America/New_York to the pxe-webapp systemd
service so report mtimes and audit log render in Eastern time even
if the Python process is started before timedatectl converges.
webapp:
* services/blancco_report.py: parse Blancco's XML report format
(recursive <entries name="..."> walker) into a friendly dict.
* templates/report_view.html: Bootstrap "Drive Erasure Certificate"
layout - hero summary, customer + system cards, per-drive cards with
step-by-step erasure timeline, document signing footer with
integrity hash detail.
* /reports/view/<filename> route + View button on the reports list
(XML reports only; PDFs still download).
