main was 16 days and 259 commits behind the line the product is actually built
on, at contract 0.30.0 against 0.35.0, with no per-PC credential code at all. It
was neither current nor curated - just stale. This brings it forward and, at the
same time, makes it mean something: main is what a receiving site installs, and
nothing else.
WHAT IT CARRIES. Twelve plugins - backups, computers, endpoints, guides,
knowledgebase, machines, network, notifications, printers, slides, tools,
warranty - plus applications, which is manifest-less core and always ships. The
only manifest dependency inside that set is endpoints on computers, and both are
in it, so the closure is self-contained.
WHAT IT DOES NOT. employees, geenforce, measuringtools, printedparts and usb
stay on the site line. So do the Windows installer tree, the VM rehearsal
helpers, the agent tooling config, one site's data loader, the internal audit
and findings records, and the planner spreadsheet. 1,135 tracked files against
1,438.
A REMOVAL THAT BREAKS THE APP IS NOT A REMOVAL, and two nearly shipped:
deploy/site-profile-universal.json still named all seventeen plugins. It is the
file docs/DEPLOY.md tells a site to provision from, so a fresh install would
have failed at `flask plugin apply-profile` with PluginError - the first thing a
receiving site does, broken by the branch meant to serve them. It now names the
twelve that exist, and its comment says the two must agree.
agent/ was never refreshed. Whoever populated this branch copied shopdb/,
plugins/, frontend/ and tests/ from the site line and left the agent tree at its
September state: 22 C# and PowerShell sources missing, including AgentCredentials,
EnrollmentService, AgentHttpFactory and the fleet-alert client, plus one file the
site line had deleted still present. The old tree is internally consistent, so it
compiles, and nothing in CI builds it - every gate was green over a server that
speaks enrollment and per-PC credentials to a bundled agent source that cannot.
Resynced whole.
DECISIONS THIS ENCODES, rather than defers:
- The plugin-authoring lab builds printedparts, whose manifest depends on
employees, so it could not stay. The lab remains on the site line and main
ships no build-along tutorial. That is a real loss for an adopting developer
and is recorded here rather than discovered later.
- Recognition, Training and Recertification notifications are no longer seeded.
Each splits one notification into a card per employee and renders a photo,
which needs a plugin this branch does not bundle. Seeding them would offer an
author a type that cannot resolve anybody. A site that installs employees gets
them from that plugin's own seed.
- Windows/IIS is documented as the legacy path throughout, and the README leads
with Docker, because that is what a receiving site gets.
The API description is regenerated for THIS branch - 347 paths and 483
operations, down from 415 and 573 - so the published contract describes what is
here rather than what the site line serves. docs/CONFIG.md lost the two
measuring-tool label keys the code no longer declares, which two lanes had
decided opposite ways.
Suite: 3124 passed, 6 skipped. Naming and style gates pass. The docs gates run
rather than skip, and every index line count is derived from the file it names.
Ben Baker's installed-software collection, software delivery (run_script and
update_app), agentless adoption tool and command-queue hardening, with his
authorship preserved.
Reviewed before promotion. Fixed: the endpoints plugin tests were never collected
by pytest, the SBOM snapshot table's key would exhaust on MySQL, ingest did not
truncate two columns strict MySQL would reject, and update_app's version branch
pinned a digest for a file that route never serves. Agent packaging moved off
require_role('admin') onto a new endpoints.agentpackage permission.
Contract 0.27.0. Full suite 2231, frontend 314.
docs/ is generated and published to the wiki, not tracked in the product repo, and the docs publish/version tests skip when docs/ is absent. A single tracked file under docs/ made the directory exist in the CI checkout, so those tests ran against a near-empty folder and failed test_there_are_docs_to_check (needs >20 files) and test_the_map_itself_is_current (needs PROJECT-MAP.md). Untrack the guide and ignore it so it stays local-only and docs/ is absent in a fresh checkout, restoring the intended skip.
Rework the seed catalog from the cleaned live DB: dedupe Dell vendor/model rows, strip vendor names out of model numbers, add missing models, assign model types across printer and equipment lines, add a Controller type, and split a mashup HP LaserJet row into six real models. Now 44 vendors, 172 models, 173 modelsupplies. Also document that assets.csv needs its subtype file to appear in typed list views, and ignore devnotes/ scratch.
Clone-to-first-change onboarding, plus .vscode launch/tasks/extensions
so F5 debugs the backend and a task runs both dev servers. Fix the
README manual path to run the backend on 5001 (the frontend proxies
there; the default 5000 loaded nothing).
At sites running the external HR directory the self-hosted table is
empty, so every kiosk badge fell to the deny policy. The resolver now
branches on employee_directory_mode: selfhosted reads the directory
table by SSO; external queries the HR directory, resolving PayNo
badges by their real PayNo column.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
framework so sister GE Aerospace sites can adopt it. Product version
0.7.0-pre-0.8.0, plugin contract 0.11.0, 966 backend tests.
Key entry points:
- docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md - tested Windows + IIS install runbook
(own-site and subpath deployment methods)
- docs/PILOT-DEPLOY.md - production pilot: stand up + import + verify
- docs/IMPORT-API.md - schema-agnostic legacy data import contract
- scripts/site_imports/wjf/ - West Jefferson reference import loader
- docs/adr/ - twelve accepted architecture decision records
