Reported from the floor: somebody types the employee's whole name into the
notification or recognition picker and presses Enter instead of clicking the
suggestion, and the entry does not pull from the employee database.
Two causes, one symptom.
The search matched the WHOLE query against first name or last name, so "Dana
Reyes" found nobody - no single column holds that string. Typing a full name is
what a person does before pressing Enter, and it was the one thing guaranteed to
return an empty list. A multi-word query is now treated as a full name: every
word must appear somewhere in the name, in either column, so "Reyes Dana" works
too, and "Dana Reyes" does not also return Sam Reyes. A single word still
searches broadly, and an SSO still resolves. Both directory backends changed,
the self-hosted tables and the external HR database.
With no suggestion to click, the form then turned the typed text into
`NAME:<text>` - a label linked to nothing. On screen that chip is identical to a
real selection; the difference only shows up later as no photo, no directory
link, and a recognition the person it is about cannot be found by. Both pickers
(the notifications form and the shared EmployeeSearch component) now look a
typed name up before deciding it is free text, through one helper.
An exact full-name match wins over a longer partial one, because somebody typing
"Dana Reyes" means that person and not "Dana Reyes-Smith". A genuinely ambiguous
name is NOT guessed at - the candidates are shown and the operator picks, which
is exactly when picking wrong matters most. A directory that cannot be reached
reports failure rather than silently producing a label.
Eleven tests. The search rules verified by planting the single-term query back.
One note for whoever reads the spec: the failure-branch test uses a thenable
that rejects rather than a mock returning a rejected promise. The runner
collects such a promise as an unhandled error even when the code under test
catches it, and fails the very test that proves the catch works.
Scope: product
The map was one picture of one floor. A second floor was added, the blueprint
changed size, and machines moved, so a position now records WHICH DRAWING its
coordinates belong to.
Buildings and levels (ADR-017). Each level owns its blueprint per theme and its
own native pixel size; assets.mapx/mapy are pixels of assets.levelid, not of the
site. A position whose level is unknown renders "level unknown" and is never
drawn on the default level, because a marker on the wrong floor plan looks
entirely correct while pointing at the wrong place.
Repositioning in bulk: filter by unplaced, needs-review or level, search, place,
confirm. Landmark recalibration solves the transform PER AXIS from landmark
pairs and never from image dimensions - the canvas grew taller without
rescaling, so a dimension-derived scale would stretch Y by 1.57 and be wrong
everywhere. It defaults to a dry run, reports what would land off the drawing,
snapshots before applying, and clears mapverifiedat because a transform is a
guess awaiting review. Snapshots restore, including the level and the review
state, and a restore snapshots first so an undo is undoable.
Search: gaugelabreference was matched only for measuring tools and
maintenancereference was matched nowhere at all, for any asset type, while
Settings happily offers both identifiers on machines and PCs. A tag an operator
is told to record has to be findable or it is a write-only field. USB devices
and printed items were unreachable from search entirely - neither is an asset,
so the generic asset search could not see them and no searcher existed; they
now match on serial, asset tag, label, bin code and gage-lab tag, honouring
isactive, with Settings toggles and result labels to match.
The retired-application rule was half a rule: GET /api/knowledgebase hid
articles whose topic application is retired while global search still returned
them and printed the retired application as the subject. A filter is only real
if every path that reaches the row applies it.
Contract to 0.20.0 (additive): Asset gained levelid and mapverifiedat, Location
gained levelid, and resolve_asset_position returns the levelid belonging to
whichever source supplied the coordinates. The five plugins that write a map
position are re-pinned. The install-list text format gained levelid as a NINTH
field, appended, because the shipped Pascal installer reads fields 0-7 by index.
That installer still compiles in one drawing's dimensions and bundles one
blueprint, so its map is accurate for the default level only; /api/maplevels is
deliberately unauthenticated so it can read both at runtime once rebuilt.
Recorded in PRINTER-INSTALLER.md section 6 along with the other known gaps.
Migration 7d33 converts an existing single-map site into one building and one
default level carrying the old map_* settings, then assigns every placed asset
and location to it. Nothing moves on screen. Old settings rows are kept so a
rollback still finds them. Verified end to end on MySQL 5.6 from a
production-shaped database.
Email: a stdlib SMTP mailer (settings-first config, graceful no-op when
unconfigured), a test-email endpoint wired to the Email settings page,
forced first-login password change (users.mustchangepassword, migration
7d23, /change-password flow), new-user welcome mail, and on-demand
report/alert delivery (POST /api/reports/email + Email Report buttons)
with an external-cron-with-a-scoped-PAT path documented for automation.
All tests patch smtplib - no network.
Labels: a shared /print/asset-label/<type>/<id> view any asset detail
page opens - card or plain style, QR or barcode, configurable encoding.
Per-type qr_target_* templates plus label_default_style/codetype/encodes
settings on the Printing page. Measuring-tool labels default to encoding
their inspection-operation code (derived from the location name, e.g.
0615), so every tool in an area shares the area code - verified by
decoding the rendered QR. Machine labels default to the machine number;
blank-serial handled gracefully.
808 tests pass; both features verified live.

API tokens: any user mints named, optionally-expiring tokens
(shopdb_pat_..., sha256-stored, secret shown once) at Settings > API
Tokens; a before-request shim swaps a valid PAT for a request-scoped
JWT of its owner, so the entire existing auth/authz/import-mode stack
works unchanged and revoked/expired tokens 401 cleanly. Built for
long-running scripts - the legacy import no longer dies when a login
JWT expires. Migration 7d21_apitokens; create/revoke audit-logged.
Audited integration gaps fixed: Asset.to_dict serializes measuring
tools (typedata + pluginid - relationship links to tools resolve); map
subtype filter/colors and MapEditor include them; dashboard totals
count them; warranty links use a new by-asset route; the measuringtools
ADR-010 hooks are real (corrected presentation token, implemented
map-overlay endpoint); the login avatar resolves through the
employee-photo helper.
737 tests pass; naming green; frontend builds; both features verified
live end-to-end.

The equipment plugin is now the machines plugin, ending the UI-vs-code
vocabulary split while the contract is pre-1.0 and nothing external
depends on the old names.
- plugins/equipment -> plugins/machines: manifest, class, /api/machines,
machines.* permissions, registry key (with an auto-migrating load shim
for existing installs).
- Tables: equipment -> machines (equipmentid -> machineid) and
equipmenttypes -> machinetypes, renamed in the plugin's own migration
chain (machines0002rename), idempotent for both upgrading and fresh
installs.
- The legacy core machinetypes lookup actually types the vendor MODELS
catalog, so it is renamed losslessly to modeltypes
(models.modeltypeid, /api/modeltypes, Model Types settings page)
rather than collapsed, freeing the machinetypes name. Core migration
7d17_machines_rename also flips data in place: assettypes row
equipment -> machine, auditlog entitytype, identifier_/search_
settings keys, permission rows, and renames alembic_version_equipment.
- Frontend: machinesApi/modeltypesApi, item.machine response shape,
assettype value compares 'equipment' -> 'machine' (map, search,
custom fields, relationships), routes machines.js with plugin gating
retagged, /print/machine-badge, Machine Types (subtypes) and Model
Types (catalog) settings pages, machines-by-type report id.
- Docs swept; ADRs left as history per the authoring rule.
Upgrade: flask db upgrade then flask plugin upgrade-all.
Verified: dev DB flipped live (262 machines, 35 modeltypes, 95 models
retyped, zero equipment tables remain); fresh scratch-MySQL install
produces the new names; 341 tests green; naming/style green; frontend
builds; live E2E on machines list/detail, PC relationships, map,
reports, and both settings pages.

Feature work from the 2026-07 session:
Settings IA
- Replace the flat 27-card settings hub with a persistent two-pane shell
(SettingsLayout.vue): grouped, searchable left rail + content pane.
- Nest all settings/* routes under the shell via router post-processing;
shared nav catalog in settingsNav.js. Group by asset class (PCs, Printers,
Equipment, Network) so per-type settings stop scattering.
Custom fields (core)
- customfields + customfieldvalues tables (migration 7d14), CRUD API at
/api/customfields, per-asset value get/save.
- Settings management page + reusable CustomFieldsSection (detail) and
CustomFieldsInputs (form) wired into all four asset types.
Warranty (new plugin)
- plugins/warranty: warranties + warrantyassets (migration 7d15), derived
coverage status, provider abstraction (manual now; Dell/Lenovo/HP stubs).
- API CRUD + per-asset panel + report buckets; WarrantyPanel on all four
detail pages; Warranties management page; Warranty report + Reports card.
- Seed warranty.* permissions.
Printer drivers
- printerdrivers table (migration 7d13) linked to printer models; drivers now
surface on the matching printer's detail page.
Other
- PCDetail rebalanced (Network + Status + Warranty + custom fields on the right).
- Rename PCs list "Features" column to "Remote Access"; fix badge hover underline.
- Drop equipment islocationonly field.
- Centralize asset-type label/route maps into utils/assetTypes.js.

Lock the position-resolution columns from ADR-001 in code so
resolve_asset_position's relationship walk activates.
Schema
- Asset.mapleft -> Asset.mapx, Asset.maptop -> Asset.mapy
- Location.mapx / Location.mapy added (fallback for priority 3 of the
ADR-001 resolution chain)
- AssetRelationship.label (free-text nuance per ADR-001)
- AssetRelationship.inheritsposition (bool, server_default true, controls
whether the resolved-position walk follows the edge)
- RelationshipType.propagatesthroughid (self-FK; sibling-propagation rail)
Seeds
- Three canonical ADR-001 relationship types created idempotently:
partof, controls, connectedto
- controls.propagatesthroughid wired to partof (partof + connectedto stay
null per ADR-001 table). Both via Alembic migration AND CLI seed command
so a fresh test fixture and a sister-site deploy both end up correct.
- Legacy connection types (Serial Cable, Direct Ethernet, USB, WiFi,
Dualpath) retained for backward compat with pre-1.0 relationship rows.
Resolver
- shopdb.api.resolve_asset_position now walks inheritsposition=true edges
of type partof (then controls), recursively, depth-capped at 3 with
visited-set cycle protection. Inactive edges + non-inheritable types
are skipped. Falls through to the existing location fallback when the
walk yields nothing.
Tests
- 11 new test_api_namespace cases cover: partof walk, controls-after-
partof ordering, connectedto skipped, inheritsposition=false skipped,
recursion, cycle break, depth-3 cap, self-beats-related, related-beats-
location, inactive-edge skip.
- 111 tests pass. Naming/style check green.
Migration
- migrations/versions/7a01_adr001_position_contract.py:
- alter_column renames on assets (no data loss)
- add_column on locations + relationshiptypes + assetrelationships
- idempotent seed of three ADR types + propagation FK wire-up
- downgrade reverses + best-effort deletion of seeded types that have
no FK refs
Backend rename (mapleft/maptop -> mapx/mapy)
- shopdb/core/api/assets.py
- plugins/{computers,equipment,network,printers}/api/...
- scripts/migration/migrate_assets.py
- Legacy Machine model + machines API + import_from_mysql.py UNCHANGED
(per ADR-001 Machine retires; not part of the asset contract)
Frontend rename
- frontend/src/components/ShopFloorMap.vue
- frontend/src/views/{MapEditor.vue, pcs/{PCDetail,PCForm}.vue,
printers/{PrinterDetail,PrinterForm}.vue,
machines/{MachineDetail,MachineForm}.vue,
network/NetworkDeviceForm.vue}
- Form field labels + v-model bindings + computed flags switched in
lockstep with the backend.
