Three more findings from the 2026-09-03 run.
Werkzeug answered 405, 415 and a malformed JSON body itself, in HTML. A client
written against the documented {status,data,meta} contract got a page of markup
with no error code, which is indistinguishable from the server having fallen
over. The 405 had a second edge: on a route the caller cannot otherwise see, a
method-not-allowed CONFIRMS the path exists, so a gated kiosk route meant to
read as absent announced itself by refusing the wrong verb. All three now
answer in the envelope, and only under /api/ - everything else is the SPA and
keeps the framework's behaviour, deep links included.
The Toner Report rendered "0 Printers Checked / 0 Low / 0 Critical" and "No
printers match the selected filter" while the API it had just called said
supply monitoring was unreachable. Zeros read as a clean bill of health for a
fleet nobody has looked at. The page now carries the reason the API gave and
suppresses the counts, because a number nobody measured is not a result. Same
defect shape as the supplies card fixed on 2026-08-29; `unavailable` was
already in the payload and the page ignored it.
Backup revisions badged "current" per (asset, kind). NTLARS settings describe a
MACHINE but are read off the controlling PC, so a machine with two reporting
PCs has two independent chains of the same kind - and only the higher revision
id was badged, so the second PC's newest revision showed as history and lost
its last-verified stamp. The machine looked like one source re-reporting rather
than two. sourcehostname is the chain; a revision without one forms its own,
which keeps the old behaviour for everything that has only ever had one source.
Nine tests. The envelope ones verified by planting: remove the three handlers
and three fail.
Scope: product
POST /api/reports/email has always taken any {columns, rows} from any caller,
but the Email report button existed on the toner and warranty pages only - not
because those reports are special, but because they happen to be their own
routed pages and the reports page had no button at all. It is now beside Export
CSV for every report the page can build a table from, which is all of them:
plugin reports through their declared columns, core reports through the flat
list they return, and the asset inventory summary by flattening its three
tables into one with the grouping named in a column. Presentation-only fields -
a status colour, a link id - are left out; a column of hex codes is worse than
no column. The shapes live in a module with tests rather than in the view.
The button is now hidden without reports.export on all three pages. Offering
somebody a button that can only answer 403 is worse than not offering it.
Separately, on the USB kiosk a long drive name pushed Take or Return out
through the side of its card, leaving a drive nobody could press. The name is a
flex item and so defaulted to min-width:auto, keeping its full intrinsic width;
it now yields, wraps mid-word for the serial-style names that carry no spaces,
and clamps its description to two lines so one long name cannot make every card
in the row tall. The locker line is never clipped - it is how somebody finds
the drive.
The hover mini-map said "This asset has a position (2835, 1410) but no level"
for every asset in the product. When 0.11.0 gave LocationMapTooltip a levelid
prop, NONE of its seven call sites were taught to pass one - printer, machine and
PC detail pages, the toner report, enforcement reports, the warranty chip and the
dashboard cards - so the component correctly reported a missing level and the
preview never drew. Two payloads behind those views also emitted mapx/mapy with
no level: the toner report and the enforcement report.
The map PDF export had the ORIGINAL bug still in it: it plotted every filtered
asset onto the sheet, so exporting the ground floor printed second-floor markers
on it. Worse than on screen, because nobody can correct a sheet once it has been
printed and carried onto the floor. It now exports only the level being viewed.
The legacy import loader sent mapleft/maptop with no level at three call sites.
That loader is the one still to run against production, and every marker it
created would have been undrawable. It now resolves the site's default level -
the legacy schema predates levels and has one floor plan, so that is what its
coordinates mean.
THE GATE MISSED ALL OF THIS because it asked whether a FILE mentions 'levelid',
not whether each position does: one module emitted 'mapx' six times and 'levelid'
once and passed. It now checks per occurrence, covers scripts/ as well as shopdb/
and plugins/, and fails any Vue file that binds tooltip coordinates without
:levelid. Both new rules were confirmed to fail the build against planted
violations before being relied on.
Printer QR labels: the asset number is no longer printed. A label now reads name
(8201-HPLaserJetPro), QR, FQDN, then IP. The name falls back to the assetnumber
because that is where sites actually keep it - every printer here has an empty
name field, so preferring the Windows queue name alone would have printed a blank
line on every label.
The report exists to answer "what needs replacing and where do I get it",
and it was answering neither. The part numbers were already in the
lowsupplies payload and simply never rendered; a chip per part now shows
them, with capacity tier and page yield on hover, since a model can list
several tiers for one colour.
Asset # and Location columns are gone. Location is replaced by the
floor-plan preview the asset pages already use, hung off the printer name
via its mapx/mapy.
The IP is now the site's FQDN (printer_hostname_template, built from the
IP exactly as PrinterForm does) and links to the printer's own web page in
a new tab - the report is a worklist, and losing your place in it to visit
one printer means finding your row again. The raw IP stays on hover.
Cartridge names were ellipsised inside a fixed 120px column, hiding the
one thing being reordered. The supplies cell is a grid with a max-content
name column, so names show in full and still line up across a printer's
rows.
CSV and emailed exports follow the screen, with one row per part number so
the result is a copy-pasteable order list.
core.js still routed plugin-owned pages directly. Extracted all 11 into the
owning plugin's route file + moved their views into plugins/<name>/frontend/:
- computers: reports/pc-relationships, settings/pctypemapping
- printers: reports/toner, settings/printertypes, settings/zabbix (toner/supply
monitoring)
- machines: settings/machinetypes
- network: settings/networktypes
- warranty: settings/dellwarranty
- slides: settings/slides (its route file gains a default export; it was
toplevel-only)
- employees: NEW plugin frontend (employees/:sso + settings/employeedirectory) -
employees had no route file before; its pages lived only in core.js.
core.js now holds only core routes; all 14 bundled plugins are self-contained
under plugins/<name>/frontend/. Verified live: the extracted Machine Types
settings page renders in the settings rail from the machines plugin frontend.
Build + 58 vitest + naming green.
