A site adopting this app arrives holding procedures already written: styled
HTML pages that get mailed around, opened off a share, and edited by whoever
still has the file. Those pages are exactly what a guide is for, and retyping
one into the editor is how a good procedure stays on a share forever.

flask guides import-html reads the page and produces blocks. It recognises the
vocabulary those pages actually use - a step box with its own number, an alert
in one of three colours, a code block with a copy button, a checkbox list, a
table with a header row - and maps each to the block that already renders it,
lifting embedded images into guideimages so a document stops carrying its
screenshots as base64. Page furniture goes: the header, the footer, and the
table of contents a guide builds for itself from its own headings.

The conversion is lossy on purpose. Colour, fonts, width and nested layout are
dropped, because storing blocks rather than markup is what makes dark mode,
printing and tickable steps work at all. So an import is always a DRAFT and the
default is a dry run that reports what it would produce and writes nothing.
Blocks go through the same validator the API uses: an import must not be able
to store something the editor could not have produced.

The parser is tolerant, because real articles are not well-formed. An unclosed
<p> is normal HTML and the browser closes it at the next block element; without
the same rule one unclosed tag swallows the rest of the article into a single
paragraph, which is what it did before the test caught it.

Proven end to end against four real articles, including one carrying two PNG
screenshots, read back in a browser.

dffa2082be Backups: stop storing credentials, and fix a dedup chain that never matched
The NTLARS/DNC registry carries an FTP password in cleartext and it was stored
verbatim. That put it in the backuprevisions table, on the revision panel which
renders values, and in the download route which hands back a ready-to-import
.reg - so anyone holding backups.view could read it off a web page.

Redaction happens at PARSE, so the secret never reaches the database at all.
Redacting on display would have left it at rest and one query away.

What is deliberately NOT done is dropping the value silently. This codec already
refuses to discard an unparseable value, precisely because a backup that looks
complete and restores a machine with a setting missing is the worst outcome. A
redacted value keeps its name, is listed in the projection, and renders as a
COMMENT naming what must be set by hand. Emitting a placeholder as the password
would produce a machine that looks restored and cannot connect, and the
technician would go debugging the network.

scripts/redact_backup_secrets.py scrubs revisions recorded before this, dry run
by default. It leaves contenthash alone: the hash identifies the configuration a
bay reported, so rewriting it would make every bay's next post look like a
change and insert a duplicate revision across the fleet.

Separately, sourcehostname is now normalized at ingest. samesource() maps '' to
IS NULL for the query while the insert stored the raw '', so rows written by a
client posting an empty hostname could never match their own next post: every
post inserted, the table grew without bound, and the history filled with
identical entries nobody could read. Whitespace did the same thing more quietly.

500f7d6ad6 Give the backups plugin a settings page, and show where a snapshot is
The plugin shipped five settings and no page for any of them. The core settings
catalog is a hardcoded list a plugin cannot extend, so backups_shareroot and the
collection interval were reachable only through the API or a flask shell on the
server - which is not a configurable setting in any useful sense, and it is how
today went: the setting simply was not there to set.

The page is contributed the ADR-010 way rather than by editing core - a card
from get_settings_cards plus a route in the plugin's own routes.js, both of
which disappear when the plugin is disabled. Filed under Machines, next to
Machine Types, because that is where the assets these back up live.

It also states the two things the settings do not say for themselves: that
health is judged on when a backup was last CONFIRMED rather than when it last
changed, and that retention prunes database revisions only - files on the share
stay, so enabling it on a share-backed kind leaves orphaned snapshot
directories.

Snapshot paths are now shown as full UNC text in both places: a Snapshot row on
the Marker Contents card, and the existing path on the history page, which
gains a copy button. Deliberately NOT a link - browsers refuse to navigate from
an https page to file://, so a clickable path looks actionable and silently
does nothing, which is worse than no link. Copy, then paste into Explorer.

The path comes off the revision, never composed from the configured share root:
a snapshot written before the layout changed still lives where it was put.

512cc9be76 Let a share-backed backup say what is in it
A 'share' kind keeps its bytes on the file share and gives ShopDB only a hash
and a UNC path. That is right for an opaque vendor file, but it means the app
cannot answer the question a tech actually arrives with - what does this part
marker hold, and which pattern disappeared last month. Reading the share from
the app server is not an option: the download routes refuse to mount it on
purpose, because a permissions slip there becomes an unexplained empty panel.

So the collector now accepts an optional manifest alongside the hash: the
index, not the content. Names, sizes, per-file hashes, and the marking system
each pattern was authored for. Advisory throughout - a client that sends none
behaves exactly as before, and dedup still keys on contenthash.

The marker asset gains a Marker Contents card built from it: counts by type,
the controller family, and a diff against the previous snapshot in the same
source chain. Removed files are named rather than counted, because "1 removed"
only tells someone to go and look. Files edited in place are named too - the
file set can be identical while the content hash moved, and reporting no
change there would contradict the reason the revision exists.

The manifest is deliberately NOT covered by contenthash, which attests the
bytes on the share. A client that starts describing itself therefore posts an
unchanged hash, so a no-op backfills a manifest the row does not yet have -
otherwise the card would appear only on markers that had recently changed, and
stay hidden on every healthy one. The same no-op refreshes sharepath, so a
snapshot that moved on the share stops being pointed at where it used to be.

Manifests are validated at ingest rather than at render: a malformed one would
otherwise become the latest revision and fail every view of the asset page
until the content next changed, outliving the client bug that caused it.

sharedir() for the marker kind is overridden to the layout the site actually
uses, so what ShopDB displays and validates matches what the collector writes.

4d6ab741cc backups: retention reads the key the settings page actually writes
get_setting on BasePlugin namespaces what it reads to plugin.backups.<key>,
while get_settings_defaults declares - and the settings page writes - the bare
key. So the retention read never found the operator's value and always fell back
to 0, and 0 means keep everything. Retention was configurable in the UI and did
nothing. It is the only place in the codebase using the namespaced helper.

The share root also stops shipping one site's file server as its default. That
put a site's internal topology in a bundled plugin and in the public mirror, and
pointed a second site at a server it cannot reach. Blank now, per ADR-015, and a
share kind with no configured root returns nothing rather than composing a path
from somebody else's hostname - a path built on an empty root is not a lesser
answer, it is a wrong one.

Three faults, visible only once the board ran against production data.

BACKUPS SAID THE WHOLE FLEET HAD STOPPED. The lastseenat backfill was wrong. It
seeded from collectedat, reasoning that the last change was the last provable
moment - but an unchanged config writes no revision, so a machine whose settings
last changed nine months ago got a nine-month-old lastseenat and was instantly
reported as a dead backup. Every chain lit up at once, which is worse than no
card: it says the site is broken when it is fine.

The honest value is NULL. Before the column existed nothing recorded when a
config was last confirmed, and inventing a date does not change that. Migration
0003 clears the backfill, and staleness now IGNORES a NULL chain rather than
substituting timestamps that mean something else. A chain becomes measurable the
first time its PC posts, which for NTLARS is within a day.

TONER READ "None%". The supply dict has no 'percent' key - it is 'remaining'.
Supply names are also shortened, because "Black Toner Level 4%" spends three
words saying what the card already says.

THE CARDS READ AS WALLS OF TEXT. Rows wrapped into paragraphs and a card with
forty PCs pushed everything below it off the screen. Now: at most five rows with
"and N more", one line per row that truncates rather than wraps, meta pushed
right and dropped first since it matters least, and severity reduced to a small
dot beside an uppercase label instead of a coloured card - six severity-painted
cards read as a crisis, which is how a board stops being read.

Worth recording that none of this could fail in a test. Every one needed real
data on a real fleet.

6c975a107c backups: record that a config was checked, not only that it changed
Some checks failed

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The stale-backup card could not be built as designed, and the reason is more
important than the card. Dedup means an unchanged configuration writes no
revision, so collectedat moves only on a CHANGE. A machine stable for six
months has a six-month-old newest revision and is perfectly healthy. Keying a
staleness card on revision age would have flagged most of the fleet - exactly
the noise that makes a board worth ignoring.

Underneath that: ShopDB could not distinguish those cases at all. On a no-op
the server returned "unchanged" and wrote nothing, so "we checked yesterday and
it matched" was discarded. That fact is the one thing a backup system must be
able to prove, and the only record of it was a line in a log file on the PC.

lastseenat records the check rather than the change. Touched on every matching
post including the no-op; set on creation, since a new revision has by
definition just been seen; backfilled from collectedat or createdat so existing
rows start from the last moment the config can be PROVEN current, rather than
from now - claiming a check that never happened would be worse than silence.

The card keys on it, one row per CHAIN rather than per asset: a machine with
two part markers can have one still reporting while the other stopped, and a
per-asset view would report the machine as fine. It stays deliberately silent
about assets never backed up, because whether one SHOULD be is a question only
the manifest can answer, and guessing would list a hundred healthy machines.

The rule lives in services/staleness.py rather than the route, so it is
testable without an auth layer in the way - the same split retention.py uses.

Threshold is backups_staledays, default 3, and 0 disables the card.

a61739d1ab computers: a part marker is its own asset, under the operation it serves
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 7s

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Several Telesis markers serve one operation number - 0613, 0615 and WJPRT each
have more than one - so treating the operation as the marker collapsed separate
devices into a single record. Their configurations differ by COM port, so in
the backup history they overwrote each other, and no question about an
individual marker could be asked at all: how many there are, which port one is
on, which one failed.

There is one marker per PC, which makes the PC the marker's identity, so the
collector can mint the marker the same way it already mints a CMM or a Keyence
unit for a metrology PC. A marker PC now gets a Part Marker machine asset, the
PC controls it, and the marker is partof the operation whose number the PC
reports. An operation holds any number of markers.

A marker PC therefore does not claim the operation directly. controls
propagates through partof, which reference-data already seeds, so control of
the operation still follows from controlling its marker - without two markers
contesting a link only one of them can hold.

Backups from a marker PC resolve to the marker rather than the operation, and
fall back to the machine number whenever the marker cannot be resolved: no
hostname on the payload, a lean build without the computers or machines plugin,
or a marker PC that has not reported to the computers collector yet. Filing
under the operation is the old behaviour and beats rejecting a backup.

Moving a marker to another operation archives the old membership rather than
deleting it, so where a marker used to live stays answerable.

d429c882b4 backups: a revision chain belongs to a PC, not just a machine
Dedup compared a posted config against the latest revision for the ASSET,
which is only correct when a machine number means one PC. Several PCs share one
here: the part markers on 0613, 0615 and WJPRT are separate devices, differing
by COM port, filed under one machine number. Each marker's post therefore
differed from whichever marker had posted last, nothing ever deduped, and the
table grew by one row per PC per collection cycle.

A chain is now (asset, kind, source hostname). An unchanged config is a no-op
again, and each PC keeps its own history against the machine. NULL sources -
rows written before the column was populated, and hand-loaded ones - form their
own chain via IS NULL; `column == None` never matches in SQL, so without that
those rows would have re-posted forever.

Two consumers assumed the old key and are fixed with it. Retention pruned per
asset, so a busy marker's revisions could evict a quiet marker's only backup;
it now prunes each chain separately, protecting the newest and oldest of each.
The revision diff compared against the previous revision on the machine, which
across two markers reported one device's COM port as a change on the other; it
now compares within the source's own chain.

scripts/collapse_duplicate_backup_revisions.py cleans up what the old rule
wrote. It removes only a revision whose hash repeats the one before it in the
same chain - rows the fixed code would never have written - and keeps every
genuine change, every chain's newest and oldest, and every source. Dry run by
default. Its --report mode explains what grew each chain, which separates a
legitimately shared machine number from two PCs wrongly carrying the same one,
and from a value inside the config that changes on its own.

b8398a36eb backups: an empty value in a .reg export must not fail the file
A line of the form "Name=" with nothing after the sign is not strictly legal,
but it occurs in real exports - the part marker's WJPRT.reg has KRelay1 like
this. The parser raised on it, which failed the whole file, which meant that
machine could never be backed up at all. Read it as an empty string so the
value name is still preserved.

c93ec7a949 backups: one tabbed DNC card, machine-numbered downloads, themed history
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 8s

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
DNC Info becomes a single tabbed card - General, eFocas, Serial, NTSHR and
MARK - instead of a flat wall of every value. On 3204 that is 11 rows visible
rather than 22, and on 0600 eleven rather than 27, which also stops the card
unbalancing the detail page's two-column layout.

Everything DNC now lives on that one card, so the Part Marker panel is gone:
its settings are the MARK tab. The partmarker KIND is untouched and still
stores, dedupes and serves revisions - they are listed on the backup history
page - it simply contributes no card of its own, which on 145 of 147 machines
would have been an empty box.

Downloads are named for the machine: 3204.reg, and 3204-wow6432node.reg for
the dialect that imports outside NTLARS. The view had been rebuilding the name
from sourcefilename and producing 3204.reg-wow6432node.reg, so the revision now
carries assetnumber and both ends agree. That needed a viewonly relationship to
Asset - no backref, so the core asset side gains no dependency on this plugin.

The history page was hardcoded to light colours (#e0e0e0, #f4f9ff, #666) and
rendered as a white table on a dark page. It now uses the palette variables
throughout, per frontend/CLAUDE.md. The current-revision tint is a color-mix
against --primary so it reads in both themes rather than a baked light blue
that disappears on dark, and the diff columns are headed as well as red/green,
since colour alone does not survive a colourblind reader.

efe2f7e6ca backups: show a kind's panels only when that asset has data
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 8s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Every machine was getting a Part Marker Configuration panel, and only two of
the 147 known machines are part markers. A kind applies to an asset TYPE, but
whether a given asset ever carries that kind of backup is a property of the
individual machine, so type alone cannot decide what to show.

The generic renderer already handled this: a list panel is visible when it has
rows OR declares empty text. Declaring emptytext on both kinds defeated it and
forced them to render everywhere. emptytext now defaults to None on the base
class, neither bundled kind sets one, and the panel builder OMITS the key
rather than emitting null - a present-but-null 'empty' would still have kept
the panel on screen.

The DNC Info card carried empty text that could never be displayed, since
keyvalue visibility is decided purely on field count. Removed rather than left
to mislead.

A lathe now shows DNC Info and NTLARS history; 0600 and 0614 additionally show
Part Marker once something collects for them; a machine with no NTLARS data
shows no backup panels at all. The emptytext mechanism stays available for a
kind that genuinely wants to say "expected here, nothing yet".

fca775c737 backups plugin: per-asset config backups with revision history
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 8s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Adds a kind-pluggable backups plugin. Configuration captured from a PC is
filed against the MACHINE it controls, with a revision history and download
back to the native format.

NTLARS/DNC is the first kind. Settings live in the controlling PC's registry
but describe the machine, so revisions attach to the machine's asset and carry
no foreign key to the PC: history survives a PC being replaced or deleted, and
sourcehostname records the handover.

Storage splits by kind. Parseable kinds store a dialect-neutral JSON
projection in ShopDB and re-render on download; opaque vendor formats (part
marker and similar) keep their bytes on the SFLD share with ShopDB holding
metadata and the UNC pointer.

Two .reg dialects exist in the wild: NTLARS's own Save... export omits the
WOW6432Node path segment, scripted exports include it. Parsing strips whichever
root matched, so a stored revision commits to neither and download offers both
(NTLARS Load... by default, WOW6432Node for direct reg import). Getting this
backwards is silent, so the dedup hash deliberately excludes sourcedialect and
both dialects of one config dedup to a single revision.

Dedup is load-bearing: the collector runs every GE-Enforce cycle across the
fleet, so a revision is inserted only when the content hash differs from that
asset's latest for that kind.

A freshly imaged PC opens NTLARS with a blank General tab. Recording that would
make an empty config the newest revision exactly when someone needs the last
good one, so a blank MachineNo is rejected rather than accepted as a change.
Two of the 320 known-good backups on the share already have that shape.

DNC Info card summarises the latest revision on the machine page: General
(Cnc, NcIF, HostType), eFocas, Serial, NTSHR when populated (only 18 of 147
machines), and MARK when the machine is a marker. MARK is gated on Cnc=MARKER
or the ShopDB machine type, not on the MARK key having content: MARK carries
serial defaults on 145 of 147 machines and DncPatterns reads YES on 103
including ordinary lathes, so neither identifies a marker.

The info card is owned by the kind (BackupKind.infopanel/buildinfo) and served
by a generic endpoint, so the expected successor to DNC ships its own card by
adding a class rather than changing the plugin or the panel wiring.

Also: schedule and retention settings with a prune that never drops the newest
or the oldest revision, and scripts/import_ntlars_backups.py to seed history
from the existing per-machine .reg files (144 of 147 resolve to assets).

Codec verified against all 320 real backups: round-trips clean through both
dialects. Bay-side generation verified on Windows against reg.exe export.
