+# GE-Enforce client integration (shopdb manifest source + reporting)
+
+This is the client-side contract for the GE-Enforce manifest-store plugin: how a
+PC sources its install manifest from shopdb instead of a share file, and how it
+reports its enforcement result back. It pairs with the plugin proposal in
+`docs/proposals/ge-enforce-plugin.md`.
+
+The reference kit lives in `plugins/geenforce/client/`:
+
+- `ShopdbEnforceClient.psm1` - fetch (with ETag + last-known-good cache),
+  shadow compare, and report helpers.
+- `Invoke-ShopdbEnforce.ps1` - a reference orchestrator that fetches a manifest,
+  runs the UNCHANGED engine against it, and reports the result.
+
+These are site-neutral references, not the live dispatcher. A site adapts them
+into its GE-Enforce.ps1 flow. The engine (`Install-FromManifest.ps1`),
+detection, self-heal, and SMB payload resolution are untouched - only the source
+of the manifest JSON moves, plus a result report.
+
+## What does NOT change
+
+- The engine and its four filters, all detection methods, self-heal, marker
+  files, and SMB payload staging.
+- Payload transport for `smb` rows: the client still mounts the share and
+  resolves `apps/...` paths exactly as today. Only the manifest JSON source moves.
+- The fail-safe posture: any error exits 0. A PC is never blocked or broken
+  because shopdb is unreachable.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Registry (provisioned by Azure DSC, same channel as the SFLD credentials):
+
+```
+HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB
+  BaseUrl   https://shopdb.<site>.geaerospace.net
+  ApiToken  <a geenforce.fetch (+ geenforce.report) managed service token>
+```
+
+Mint the token in shopdb: Settings > API Tokens, scopes `geenforce.fetch` and
+`geenforce.report`. It is a service token (owner must hold those permissions).
+
+## Fetch contract
+
+```
+GET /api/geenforce/manifest?pctype=<scope>[&phase=runtime]
+    X-API-Key: <token>
+    If-None-Match: <cached ETag>     (optional)
+```
+
+- `200` - body is the full published manifest JSON for the scope (fat client:
+  the engine filters locally, exactly as today). Response headers carry `ETag`
+  and `X-Manifest-Version`. Cache the body + ETag + version.
+- `304` - your cached copy is current; use it.
+- `404` - no such scope, or the scope has no published version yet.
+- Network failure - enforce from the last-known-good cached manifest (the kit
+  does this automatically) and log a warning.
+
+The served manifest is always the current PUBLISHED snapshot, never a live draft
+being edited in shopdb, so a half-finished edit can never reach a PC.
+
+## Report contract
+
+Each enforcement cycle, POST the result (best-effort; a failed report never
+fails the cycle):
+
+```
+POST /api/geenforce/report
+    X-API-Key: <token>
+    Content-Type: application/json
+{
+  "hostname": "WJCMM01",
+  "scopename": "gea-shopfloor-cmm",
+  "appliedversion": 3,            // the published version you actually ran
+  "enforcerversion": "2.6",
+  "counts":  { "installed": 1, "skipped": 3, "failed": 0, "filtered": 2 },
+  "results": [
+    { "name": "PC-DMIS 2019 R2", "action": "installed", "selfhealed": true },
+    { "name": "Protect Viewer",  "action": "skipped" },
+    { "name": "eDNC",            "action": "failed", "exitcode": 1603,
+      "message": "MSI 1603" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `appliedversion` lets shopdb show which PCs received the latest manifest
+  (`receivedlatest` in the fleet view).
+- `action` per entry: `installed` (fired - a self-heal when it should already be
+  present), `skipped` (detected present), `failed`, `filtered`. `selfhealed`
+  marks a drift correction.
+- shopdb keeps the latest report per (hostname, scope, phase) plus history, and
+  surfaces it under Settings > Enforcement Reports.
+
+The engine already computes these counts (`installed/skipped/failed/pcFiltered`
+at the end of its main loop) and knows each entry's action; shape them into the
+`results` list at the call site (`New-ShopdbReport` in the kit takes a summary
+with `Installed/Skipped/Failed/Filtered` + a `Results` list).
+
+## Cutover (safe, staged)
+
+1. **Configure** the registry values on a canary PC; mint the token.
+2. **Shadow mode**: run `Invoke-ShopdbEnforce.ps1 -ShadowMode -ShareManifestPath
+   <current share manifest>`. It installs from the SHARE (no behavior change),
+   fetches the shopdb manifest, logs any diff, and reports. Watch for zero diffs
+   across one PC of every pctype for ~20 cycles.
+3. **Read cutover**: drop `-ShadowMode`. The engine now runs against the
+   shopdb-sourced manifest; payloads still come from the share. Rollback is a
+   one-line revert to the share-sourced call. Keep exporting manifests from
+   shopdb to the share (Settings > Imaging PC Types > Export to Share) so the
+   share stays a break-glass copy.
+4. **Payload migration** (optional, later): move small scripts/configs to
+   `http`/`inline` payloads, verified by `payloadsha256`. Big MSIs stay on SMB.
+
+Do not cut a fleet over before the shadow diffs are clean. Preinstall
+(`phase=preinstall`) stays share-sourced until its own cutover is planned - it
+runs before enrollment provisions a token.
+
+## Security notes
+
+- The client runs as SYSTEM, so shopdb's TLS certificate must be in the machine
+  trust store (air-gapped/self-signed sites provision the CA via the same DSC
+  step as the token).
+- `http`/`inline` payloads are verified against `payloadsha256` before running,
+  independent of how the entry detects install state. This is the real integrity
+  guarantee and holds even over plain HTTP inside a trusted segment.
+- The token is a scoped service token: it can fetch manifests and report, and
+  nothing else.

+.SYNOPSIS
+  Reference orchestrator: source a GE-Enforce manifest from shopdb, run the
+  UNCHANGED engine against it, and report the result back to shopdb.
+
+  This is a thin wrapper around Install-FromManifest.ps1 (the engine). It is a
+  reference a site adapts into its GE-Enforce.ps1 flow; it is not the live
+  dispatcher. The engine, detection, self-heal, and SMB payload resolution are
+  untouched - only the source of the manifest JSON moves from a share file to
+  shopdb, plus a result report.
+
+.PARAMETER Scope
+  The imaging pc-type / scope name (e.g. gea-shopfloor-cmm), same value the
+  dispatcher already resolves from C:\Enrollment\pc-type.txt.
+
+.PARAMETER EnginePath
+  Path to Install-FromManifest.ps1 (the engine lib, >= 2.6).
+
+.PARAMETER ShareManifestPath
+  The current on-share manifest for this scope. In shadow mode the engine runs
+  against THIS (unchanged behavior) and shopdb is only compared + reported. Once
+  cut over, omit it and the engine runs against the shopdb-sourced manifest.
+
+.PARAMETER ShadowMode
+  Fetch + compare + report, but install from the share (no behavior change).
+
+.NOTES
+  Fail-safe: any error exits 0 so a bad web app never blocks or breaks a PC.
+  Config comes from HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB (BaseUrl, ApiToken) - see the psm1.
