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.
The theme sets white-space: nowrap on every table cell, so the
ServiceNow tick list's destruction note (and the to-do failure column)
ran as one line and pushed the Done buttons off to the right. A
td.wrap utility lets prose cells wrap within 16-28rem.
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.
