Phase 0: lock platform contract, naming convention, and style enforcement

Establishes the framework's foundation as a multi-site adoptable platform.

ADRs (migrations/adr/):
- ADR-001 (ACCEPTED): Asset is the platform contract; Machine retires.
  Three relationship types (partof, controls, connectedto) with free-text
  label, position-resolution chain (asset > related > location),
  hierarchical locations, sibling-bay propagation.
- ADR-002 (ACCEPTED): Plugin contract semver via __contract_version__.
- ADR-003 (ACCEPTED): Hybrid plugin distribution (in-tree bundled +
  filesystem-based external).
- ADR-004 (ACCEPTED): Per-site instances, not multi-tenant.
- ADR-005 (ACCEPTED): Equipment plugin (manufacturing) split from
  measuringtools plugin (metrology). Subtype-table pattern for protocol
  data (FOCAS, CLM, MTConnect).
- ADR-006 (ACCEPTED): Plugin collector contract via get_collector_schema
  hook with API-key auth and identity-based upsert.

Naming convention v1 (CONTRIBUTING.md):
- DB tables/columns: lowercase concatenated, no underscores or dashes
- DB-mirrored Python/JS variables match column names exactly; pure code
  follows host-language convention (PEP 8 / camelCase)
- Closed acronym allowlist (universal + shop-floor domain), banned
  shorthand list with suffix exception (printers_bp etc allowed)
- Plain ASCII everywhere: chat, docs, comments, string literals

Style enforcement (scripts/check-naming-and-style.sh):
- Pre-commit-runnable check script: non-ASCII, banned shorthand,
  snake_case DB names, snake_case API params in frontend
- Fixes 14 violations across 11 files (Unicode arrows, snake_case
  params, ctx -> canvasContext, res -> response, req -> request_obj)

Project state (CLAUDE.md, README.md, frontend/CLAUDE.md):
- De-staled CLAUDE.md to reflect actual current state
- README unifies DB story (MySQL canonical, SQLite test-only)
- frontend/CLAUDE.md points at root convention

# ADR-003: Plugin distribution model
- **Status:** ACCEPTED
- **Date:** 2026-05-08
- **Deciders:** cproudlock
## Context
Sister sites adopting shopdb-flask need a way to:
1. Install the framework
2. Pick which plugins they want
3. Build their own plugins for site-specific equipment
4. Receive updates to both framework and plugins
Today, every plugin lives in the `plugins/` directory of the framework repo. There is no separation between framework code and plugin code, no install / uninstall, and no way for a site to develop a plugin without forking the whole repo.
Three viable distribution models:
| Model | How a site installs a plugin |
|---|---|
| **In-tree only** | Fork the framework repo, add plugin under `plugins/`, run their own deploy. No separation. |
| **Pip-installable plugins** | Each plugin published as a Python package. Site does `pip install shopdb-printers shopdb-network` etc. Discovery via Python entry points. Framework loads any installed plugin that registers itself. |
| **Git-based plugins** | Each plugin lives in its own git repo. Site clones / submodules into `plugins/<name>/`. Loader picks them up from the directory. |
## Decision
**PROPOSED:** Use a **hybrid model** with two clearly-labeled paths.
1. **Bundled plugins**: a small set of plugins ships with the framework, in-tree at `plugins/`. These are the reference implementations and the default install (printers, computers, network, equipment, usb, notifications). A site that wants only what's bundled needs no extra work.
2. **External plugins**: sister sites or third parties build plugins in their own git repos. The site running the framework drops the plugin into `plugins/<name>/` (clone, submodule, or symlink) and runs `flask plugin install <name>`. No pip packaging required for v1.
Pip-installable plugins (Python entry-point discovery) are deferred to v2. The complexity is not justified until at least two sites are running their own plugins.
## Consequences
### Positive
- v1 is simple: filesystem-based discovery (already implemented in `shopdb/plugins/loader.py`), works for both bundled and external plugins.
- Sites can develop plugins without changing the framework repo.
- The `plugins/` directory is already the canonical location, so no architectural change is needed.
### Negative / cost
- No automatic update path for external plugins. Sites must `git pull` in each plugin directory manually. Acceptable for v1; revisit when plugin count grows.
- Multiple plugin authors writing in parallel can collide on namespace (e.g., two plugins both registering an `AssetType` named "Equipment"). Need a naming policy: plugin names and asset-type names should be prefixed with the site or org if not in the bundled set.
### Neutral
- The existing in-tree pattern keeps working. This decision just formalizes it and clarifies the path for outside-the-tree plugins.
## Alternatives considered
1. **Pip-installable from day one.** Cleaner for the long term but adds packaging, entry-point registration, and CI steps. Premature for current scale (one site running, no sister-site plugins yet).
2. **In-tree only forever.** Forces every site to fork. Doesn't scale beyond two or three sites.
3. **Submodules only.** Forces git-submodule discipline on every adopting site. Submodules are notoriously fiddly. Rejected.
## Open questions
- For external plugins, should there be a manifest field (`source_url`) declaring where the plugin can be cloned from, so `flask plugin install` could pull it for the site? Defer; manual clone is fine for v1.
- Naming convention for non-bundled plugin directory names: prefix with site? (`gea-wjsf-shipping`)? Adopt if and when we hit a name collision.
