Small Control JSONs have arrived empty or wrong more than once, and the old
check compared sizes only and skipped missing files. A copy of
Deploy/Control on the dev PC still holds two 0-byte JSONs.
Upload-Image.ps1 (tested on Windows PowerShell 5.1 in the win11 VM):
- refuses an unfinished MCL cache: exactly one <OS>-Production.tag (MCL
writes it last), no Control file newer than it, selected OS matches,
every Control/Tools JSON non-empty and valid
- checks payload against the SHA-256 MCL's own Control JSONs publish. MCL
resumes downloads onto old files (FileMode.Append) and then trusts any
file of the right size: the September junk-tail corruption. Offers to
delete the bad cache files so MCL downloads them again
- hashes every file into a manifest, robocopies, POSTs the manifest
- re-sends bad small files over HTTP (no proxy), large ones by deleting
the bad copy and robocopy /J (robocopy skips a same-size, same-time file
as "modified" even with /IS /IT)
Webapp:
- services/upload_verify.py hashes the upload on the server's own disk in
a background thread; reports missing, differing, bad-in-MCL-cache and
stray files; PUT /api/upload/file writes temp, checks hash, renames
- import of the upload folder only after a passed verification, with
every file unchanged (size, mtime, ctime, inode), no stray files, and
the target the OS allows (LTSC: Shop Floor only; else Standard or
Engineer; unknown OS: none). Import, verify and PUT share one lock
- paths matched case-insensitively against the disk, as Samba does
- import page shows the upload, MCL run, verification and stray files
with a remove button; record of each import kept on the image
Reviewed adversarially; all 11 confirmed findings fixed with tests.
42 new unit tests. VM test: clean upload; same-size same-mtime damage on
3 files repaired in one round; stray file blocks import until removed;
Shop Floor refused for a Pro upload; import records and clears the
folder; missing tag, 0-byte JSON, junk-head WIM and late Control file
each refused with nothing uploaded.
Boot menu: "Clonezilla: back up this PC" and "restore this PC" ask for the
machine number and boot Clonezilla (64-bit with Debian shim, or 32-bit
i686 by cpuid) with ocs_repository=smb3://clonezilla:<pw>@server/clonezilla/,
ocs_prerun fetching clonezilla-scripts/pxe-cz.sh and ocs_live_run running
it. The script validates the machine number, saves
<machine>-<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM> (server time), writes pxe-meta.txt, runs
ocs-chkimg, and restores only that machine's images with -k1 -r after a
typed YES. The old entry is "Clonezilla: manual".
Playbook: clonezilla Samba user for the [clonezilla] share only, password
from clonezilla_smb_password (validated, filled into the menu
placeholder), scripts installed to the web root.
Webapp: Clonezilla backups page lists image folders and zips grouped by
machine number with serial/model/version/check, serial mismatch flag,
delete, move to another machine, streamed tar download, disk space bar
and an explicit keep-last-N retention with preview. Tests and a VM test
plan added.
- imaging: coerce client payload and stored session fields to str/int,
drop lists/dicts; tiles template guards pctype/current_stage; POST
rejects non-object bodies and non-string serials.
- nic_status: normalise every check-file entry; load nic.conf as-is with
a [nic] fallback; split interface= lists; keep the check's binding while
fresh, resolve wildcard sockets from the dnsmasq pin (never True for an
excluded NIC); mark vanished NICs down; include role bridges; stale or
future-dated files downgrade to warnings and drop evidence.
- Overview renders the network pill in its own try and shows
'Network: unknown' when status fails.
- ipxe_update: read every Authenticode signature (all WIN_CERTIFICATE
entries plus nested SPC_NESTED_SIGNATURE) with openssl; shim swap and
install need both Microsoft UEFI CA 2011 and 2023; install re-reads
each file (snponly ipxe.efi only); staged.json schema version, older
records shown stale and refused; uhci counts as native USB.
- backups describe their files; risky rollbacks need a confirm flag.
- mac_folders: guarded listdir, cached describe, configured TFTP root,
warning for a shim without ipxe.efi.
- evidence pack: years 2000..2100, 400 days inclusive.
- a11y role=group on quick ranges; progress bar stays full during 'shim'.
- tests/test_review_fixes.py: 29 unittest cases incl. both real shims.
