Evidence pack takes ?from=&to= (inclusive, Eastern time) with From/To
pickers and quick ranges; ZIP is named ENT-056_<site>_<from>_to_<to>.
Month keys show as 'September 2026'. Hardware gap rows on the to-do
use the shared one-line grid with chips for the missing pack or BIOS.
- Unattend: a command's '...' menu stayed open after Move up/down and
covered the next row's menu, so the next click could stage removing the
wrong command. The menu now closes and focus returns to its button.
- '...' menus close on an outside click, on Escape and when another
opens (static/app.js), for every page.
- Drivers: Remove asks to confirm again, as before the redesign. Long zip
paths in a row body wrap (the page scrolled sideways at 390 px).
- Rollback review returns to the page it was opened from (Dell page or
Updates overview), for both Cancel and the rollback itself.
- To-do: the ServiceNow period offers a year again (366 days).
- Imaging floor: a search that matches a log-only bay opens that group;
its open state survives the live refresh. 'Clear all' states the
number of session files it deletes, hidden finished ones included.
- Dashboard: the image key pattern is valid under the browser's v flag
(client-side validation was silently skipped).
- Import: allowed_import_source() compares real paths, so
'<upload dir>/../..' is refused. This path traversal predates the
redesign; the import moves the source tree, so it mattered.
Blocker
- /reports/export returned 500: REPORT_EXPORT_RANGES and _months_ago were
deleted with the old reports route. Restored.
Major
- A session without stage_index/stage_total took down /, /imaging and
/imaging/tiles (int filter on Undefined). The templates default both;
saving a LAPS password for a session that no longer exists is refused
(it created a bare session).
- /reports/todo parsed every report four times (23 s at 700 reports).
blancco_report.parse() now caches by path, mtime and size: 0.09 s.
- Stored XSS through the session serial in the Clear confirm (the
browser decodes ' before running an inline handler). The message
moves to data-confirm, and update_session() only accepts serials of
letters, digits, '.', '_' and '-' (400 from /imaging/status otherwise).
- Reports without a document id and with odd characters in the file name
got a key the mark routes rejected, so they could never be cleared.
report_key() now always produces a valid key.
Minor
- failure_note() handles a list-valued erasure target (500 on the report
and to-do pages).
- _recently_marked() tolerates naive, 'Z' and non-dict state entries.
- Key regexes use fullmatch (a trailing newline was accepted).
- Unreadable reports are no longer counted as to tick / to destroy; the
reports page already flags them as Unreadable.
- Rollback review recounts restorable files after reading the backups.
- Enrollment: the startnet fallback package (no or empty ppkg.conf) and a
quoted SOURCE_PPKG are protected too.
- Backup upload overwrite check is case-insensitive (SMB share) and
replaces the existing file rather than adding a case twin.
- Overview polling keeps the last good rows on an error and pauses while
the tab is hidden. A shown or typed LAPS password survives the floor's
refresh.
- hardware_dismiss only redirects to same-site paths; tiles ?limit is
clamped; the Updates overview survives an unreadable Dell scan or iPXE
state; describe() uses aversion(); a client cannot label its session
'inferred'.
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.
- GET /updates/: one card per updater (Dell, iPXE, Blancco, BPRT) with
its state, a Check now / Open action and details in accordions; the
shared download cap is a small popover.
- Dell applies list: one line per apply titled by its first change
('Latitude 5350 pack A11 to A12', model looked up in the maps) and
'and n more'; the chip says how many written files are unchanged since
the apply. The body lists every change, skipped item, error and file.
- dell_updates.file_status(): per file an apply wrote, unchanged /
changed / missing by content hash, the same test rollback uses.
describe(), history_view() and rollback_preview() build on it.
- GET /updates/dell/rollback/<id>: review a rollback before doing it,
with the files that would be restored and a diff of each. The POST
route is unchanged; both forms can return to the overview.
Imaging floor (/imaging, /imaging/tiles):
- One line per PC: status chip, serial with machine number, hostname
and IP, stage text with a segmented stage track, one action plus a
'...' menu. Everything else (description, error, timestamps, Intune
ID + QR, Set category / ARTS links, LAPS QR, log tail) is in the row's
expandable body.
- Order: failed, needs action (stage 7), in progress, done; log-only
bays fold into one collapsed group. imaging_status.floor_state() and
floor_order() compute this.
- Status filter buttons with live counts next to the text filter. SSE
refresh, expanded-row memory and LAPS handling are unchanged.
- Stage text is never truncated; BIOS updates and erasing are bold.
Overview (/):
- Services popover, technician to-do line, the six most urgent floor
rows (?limit=6 partial, refreshed every 15 s), and image cards with
lint warnings, map errors and missing zips as separate chips. New,
clone, delete and unattend stay on the cards' menus.
Copy buttons are now handled once in static/app.js, with a fallback for
plain-http pages where navigator.clipboard is unavailable.
- Report view: the hero summarised only the first erasure, so a drive whose
Purge failed and Clear fallback succeeded showed Failed while the list said
Successful. It now uses the per-drive outcome (report_result) and lists the
standards that wiped each drive.
- To-do and ServiceNow: reports with no usable document id could never be
ticked or cleared (400). They are now tracked by file name (file:<name>).
- Imaging: the LAPS password field is masked, with a Show/Hide toggle.
- Imaging: succeeded sessions not updated for ACTIVE_WINDOW_HOURS are hidden
from the dashboard (failed and in-progress always stay), with Show all.
- Enrollment: the active SFLD package can no longer be deleted, which left
ppkg.conf pointing at a missing file; its row is marked Active.
- Import: confirm before importing, saying upload-folder sources are moved
and same-name files in the image are overwritten.
Updates group:
- Dell drivers and BIOS: check Dell's catalogs against all three driver maps
and models.txt, download with a shared speed cap, repack, preview, apply
with backups and rollback.
- iPXE boot files: check GitHub for the signed Secure Boot set, verify the
sha256 and each file's signer, install atomically, roll back. Includes the
by-hand procedure.
- Blancco: upload a release, stage it, test-boot it from the menu, activate,
roll back.
- BPRT sync: validate a batch uploaded from the MediaCreator Lite cache
(scripts/windows/Sync-BPRT.ps1 or a zip), show the diff, swap with the site
overlay files kept.
Images: one sidebar entry per image with Overview, Drivers, Unattend and OS and
Packages tabs. Every save shows a diff first, keeps the file's format, makes a
backup and can be undone. Driver lint runs inline.
Enrollment: upload standard/engineer MCL packages, one per tenant/purpose,
with archive and restore. Hardware coverage counts engineer as Win11.
WinPE now reports each machine's WMI model, manufacturer, Dell system
SKU and BIOS version to /hardware/seen (winpe-status-push.ps1, best
effort, wmic only). The webapp records every model seen and checks it
against what the server has:
- each image's Deploy/Control/HardwareDriver.json, matched exactly as
PESetup's GetDriverByModel does (as reimplemented in
lint-driver-catalogue.py), plus whether the pack's zip is on disk;
- the WinPE BIOS manifest (substring match like check-bios.cmd).
/hardware lists every model with per-image driver status and BIOS
status. A model missing a Win11 pack or a BIOS entry becomes item 5 on
the Technician To-Do (and the banner count) until the pack/BIOS is added
or it is dismissed. Virtual machines are ignored.
Also deploys the repo winpe-status-push.ps1 over the live copy, which
predated the -CurrentStage/-StageIndex parameters startnet.cmd passes
for the BIOS-flash stage, so that status post was failing.
Webapp: config.DISPLAY_TZ (default America/New_York) and a local_dt
filter that renders datetimes, ISO strings and Unix timestamps as e.g.
"2026-10-05 13:54 EDT", DST included. Used for the ServiceNow tick list,
technician to-do, imaging tiles and detail page; timestamp_fmt (reports,
backups, enrollment) goes through it too instead of relying on the
process TZ. CSV report_date is Eastern with its offset. Evidence-pack
months are Eastern calendar months, so a wipe late on the 31st lands in
that month rather than the next.
Blancco: init points the new root's /etc/localtime at America/New_York
so the GUI clock is local. Report timestamps keep their explicit
offset; report.utc_offset stays 0 since a fixed offset cannot follow DST.
Report file names stay UTC, as Blancco's own Save names them.
Technician To-Do (sidebar link with a count, and a banner on every page
while anything is open) lists the playbook steps the server cannot do:
1. wipes still to tick on the Onsite Bin RITM (ENT-045/159)
2. monthly evidence packs to upload to Box (ENT-056/158), Mark uploaded
3. drives that failed to wipe, to destroy (COD recorded)
4. reports Blancco could not upload to the cloud (Resolved)
Marks are stored in the Blancco state file; the counts are cached for 60s
and refreshed on every mark, ServiceNow tick and cloud-status post.
Results are now judged per drive. Blancco keeps every attempt in the
report, so a NIST Purge that failed followed by a successful Clear
fallback on the same drive appeared as two entries, and the Reports page
rolled the whole report up to Failed. 20 such wipes since May showed as
Failed; they were wiped (the work instruction counts the fallback as a
success). The CSV marks those rows "Fallback: ... then erased with ...".
One genuine failure remains: HNMD1V3, Seagate Z500R4KG, 2026-08-11.
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.
A CRLF file re-CRLF'd (e.g. sed adding \r to already-CRLF lines) yields \r\r\n; the old _split_lines left a stray \r that split into a blank line between every line, so parse_boot_menu/settings/lint saw a garbled file and returned nothing. Now collapse any run of CR before a newline. Also re-deployed a clean-CRLF startnet.cmd into the live boot.wim (the earlier sed-based deploys had doubled the CR).
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).
Image import previously full-copied everything and rmtree'd existing target dirs on every run. Replaced the shutil copy/move/copytree/rmtree with deploy.sync_tree(), which shells out to rsync -a --checksum: files whose content already matches the target are skipped, only new or changed files are written, and existing target files not in the source are left untouched (merge, not mirror). move=True uses --remove-source-files (frees the SMB upload dir) and prunes emptied source dirs. Applies to the Deploy import, the _shared redirections, and the root-level items. Big re-imports now only rewrite what actually changed.
Imaging dashboard
- services/imaging_log_tail.py: parses dnsmasq leases, Apache access log,
Samba per-host log files, and dnsmasq syslog (DHCP/TFTP). Synthesizes
inferred sessions keyed by MAC for bays that have only touched the boot
chain but not yet pushed to /imaging/status. Active window 90 min.
- imaging_status.list_sessions() merges inferred sessions into the dashboard
list. Real client-pushed sessions win for the same MAC.
- imaging_status: stage_history field tracks every stage transition (capped
30); sidecar .log file per serial records every log_lines push uncapped
(read_full_log() caps detail-page response to 1 MB).
- delete_session/delete_all_sessions clean up sidecar .log too.
- New SSE endpoint /imaging/stream emits a session-list hash every 5s.
Client fetches /imaging/tiles (HTML partial) on hash change and swaps
#imaging-tiles innerHTML. Polling fallback at 15s if SSE drops.
- Tile-swap preserves scroll, filter input, expanded state via localStorage,
and any LAPS input the operator is mid-pasting (swap skipped when a
laps-input is focused).
- imaging.html: removed 15s location.reload(). Added live-status dot in
header (gray idle / green SSE connected / red SSE lost).
- _imaging_tiles.html: shared partial used by both /imaging full render and
/imaging/tiles SSE refresh. Inferred bays render with yellow border +
log-inferred badge + no progress bar (stage_index inference is coarse).
- imaging_detail.html (new): per-bay forensics page at /imaging/session/
<serial>. Session metadata grid, stage timeline table, full sidecar log
with truncation indicator, Copy-support-summary button. Linked from each
client-pushed tile.
- qr-render.js exposes window.renderAllQRs() so the SSE swap can re-render
Intune device-ID QRs in the swapped-in tiles.
Image management
- services/image_registry.py: JSON registry of image types at
{SAMBA_SHARE}/image-registry.json. Bootstraps from baked-in
config.IMAGE_TYPES on first run. create/clone/delete/rename_friendly
mutate the file then call reload() which rewrites config.IMAGE_TYPES +
config.FRIENDLY_NAMES in place. Sidebar reflects on next request.
- app.py routes: /images/new, /images/<t>/clone, /images/<t>/delete (with
optional content-wipe checkbox), /images/<t>/rename.
- dashboard.html: + New image type button + Clone/Delete per row, all in
Bootstrap modals with confirmation copy.
- Clone copies Deploy/ tree but preserves symlinks to shared dirs (Out-of-
box Drivers, Operating Systems, Packages) so disk usage stays low.
- Delete with content checked unlinks symlinks (does not follow into shared
dirs).
Driver / package upload + orphan adoption
- services/images.py: upload_driver, adopt_orphan, remove_orphans,
upload_package. Filename sanitization blocks path traversal.
- app.py routes: /images/<t>/drivers/upload, /images/<t>/drivers/adopt,
/images/<t>/drivers/orphans/delete, /images/<t>/packages/upload.
- image_config.html: Upload .zip button + modal on Drivers section. Orphan
drivers card-footer rebuilt as interactive list with per-row Adopt inline
form (family + destinationDir inputs) and bulk select+delete.
- Upload .zip on Packages section with optional destinationDir field that
appends a packages.json entry.
Configuration
- config.py: new env vars DNSMASQ_LEASES, APACHE_ACCESS_LOG, SAMBA_LOG_DIR,
DNSMASQ_SYSLOG for the log-tailer.

New /imaging/delete_all endpoint wipes every per-bay JSON in IMAGING_DIR
via imaging_status.delete_all_sessions(). Template adds "Clear all"
outline-danger button next to the count badge, gated on sessions list
non-empty, with confirm() prompt naming the count.
Deployed via scp + systemctl restart pxe-webapp on 172.16.9.1.

Previously the stage indices reflected logical milestones but not the
order they fire in. Run-ShopfloorSetup posted idx=1 (start) and idx=4
(PPKG) - but 09-Setup-Keyence (inside per-type loop) ran BETWEEN them
and posted idx=5/6. The dashboard then "regressed" from 6 back to 4
when PPKG fired, making it look stuck at the per-type-complete card.
New numbering matches actual execution order:
1 - WinPE: PESetup / WIM apply (startnet.cmd)
2 - Run-ShopfloorSetup: starting (Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1)
3 - 09-Setup-<Type>: starting (per-type)
4 - 09-Setup-<Type>: complete (per-type)
5 - Run-ShopfloorSetup: PPKG enrollment (Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1)
6 - Run-ShopfloorSetup: handoff to Monitor (Run-ShopfloorSetup.ps1)
7 - Monitor-IntuneProgress: Intune Device ID captured
services/imaging_status.py rewind threshold reverts to stage_index <= 1
now that WinPE startnet posts idx=1.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reset trigger previously fired only when a new POST landed at idx <= 1,
which meant a reimage didn't reset the dashboard card until
Run-ShopfloorSetup ran post-PPKG (~10-20 min in). With the WinPE-phase
status push from startnet.cmd in commit 4e018fe firing at idx=2, that
earlier signal needs to count as a new-run marker too.
Threshold of 2 makes startnet.cmd the canonical reset point: within
seconds of PXE menu choice on the bay, the dashboard card flips from
the previous run's high-idx state back to "WinPE: PESetup / WIM apply"
+ fresh started_at.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
services/imaging_status.py - if a new POST arrives with stage_index <= 1
that is lower than the cached stage_index, OR the previous run already
finished (status=succeeded|failed), reset the session: clear log_tail,
mint a fresh started_at, drop the status field so the in_progress
default re-applies. Preserves serial + records the previous run's
last_updated under previous_run_at for audit. Without this, a reimage
on the same bay would leave a stale 6/8 "succeeded" card visible until
the new run progressed past that index.
playbook/startnet.cmd - one-line PowerShell POST after the PXE menu
choice + enrollment-share mount, before PESetup.exe waits to start.
Captures BIOS serial via wmic, MAC via Get-NetAdapter, and posts:
stage_index=2, current_stage="WinPE: PESetup / WIM apply".
Best-effort; try/catch swallows any network failure so a missing
webapp never blocks imaging. PXE clients will now appear on the
/imaging dashboard during WinPE phase instead of only post-PPKG.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).
