Three defects that all shared a shape: the restore path looked checked and was
not.

An unreadable data revision was treated as a legacy set. backup.sh discards the
mysql error when reading alembic_version, so a set could be written with an
empty datarev; the compatibility check then fell through to the code-to-code
head comparison - the very check datarev was introduced to replace - and badged
the set restorable on no evidence at all. A manifest that CARRIES the key and
left it empty is now refused, while one with no key at all is still the genuine
legacy case and keeps the fallback. backup.sh records the failure in run history
rather than passing it over in a log line, since the set it just wrote cannot be
restored.

Dumps were bound to the schema they came from. mysqldump --databases bakes
CREATE DATABASE and USE <name> into the file, so restoring onto a site whose
MYSQL_DATABASE differs loaded every row into the dump's schema, left the live
database untouched, and reported success. New sets are dumped without it and
load into the schema named at restore time. Existing sets are still bound, so
the gate reads which schema they name and refuses a mismatch instead of
restoring beside the live data. Also dropped --no-tablespaces into the main
dump: it needs the PROCESS privilege the app user does not have on MySQL 8.

The gate's own test carried a copy of the gate. test-restore-datarev.sh
re-implemented the predicate in its own shell functions, so it would have stayed
green through any drift in restore.sh - including the plugin-chain hole fixed in
the previous commit, which it could never have caught. restore.sh now takes
RESTORE_CHECK_ONLY, which stops it immediately after the gates having touched
nothing, plus overridable paths for the migration and plugin trees. The test
drives the shipped script and asserts on its exit code, so the verdict under
test IS the verdict that ships. Confirmed non-vacuous by planting a violation:
disabling the plugin revision check turns the suite red.

Nine cases now, up from five, covering both plugin-chain directions, a plugin
the build does not have, and the schema binding.

Moving the schema check earlier was prompted by that test: it had been placed
after the safety copy, so it needed a live database to reach a verdict it can
reach for free. It sits with the other gates now and stops before anything is
written.

Round-tripped against a real stack after the dump format change: backup, mutate,
restore, data back to backup-time state, and the new dumps confirmed to carry no
schema name.

Suite 2607 passed / 9 skipped.

e2705d732a Gate a restore on every schema chain, not just the core one
Some checks failed
CI / naming (push) Successful in 4s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 13s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 15s
CI / backend (push) Failing after 4m56s
The compatibility gate read alembic_version and nothing else, but plugin schemas
move independently of core. Roll the code back to an older plugin revision and
the core head can be identical, so a dump carrying plugin tables the code has
never heard of passed the gate, loaded - destroying what was there - and only
then failed in 'flask plugin upgrade-all' with "Can't locate revision". A failed
restore that has already replaced what it was restoring over is the worst
outcome this feature can produce, and it was reachable from an ordinary rollback.

Backups now stamp the applied revision of every alembic_version_<plugin> table
alongside the core one, read from the dumped database the same way. restore.sh
checks each against that plugin's own versions directory and refuses before
touching anything, naming the plugin and the revision to deploy past. A plugin
in the dump that this build does not have at all is refused for the same reason.
The list endpoint's compatibility badge asks the same question, so the UI cannot
offer a set the restore will reject.

Sets taken before the stamp existed carry no dataplugins and keep their old
core-only verdict. Their plugin revisions are unknowable, and making every
existing set unrestorable to close this would be a worse trade than the gap.

Proven against a real stack, reproducing the exact case: core head identical,
endpoints data stamped at a revision the build does not have. The restore
refused, the live row was still there afterwards, and it stopped early enough
that the pre-restore safety copy was never needed. The same set with its true
revision restored normally.

Suite 2605 passed / 9 skipped, with the gate covered both ways plus the legacy
fallback.

CI / backend (push) Failing after 4m57s
Closes the three defects in the imported restore path, at Ben's request. Each
was proven against a real stack before and after: two backup sets with different
data and different instance files, then a restore of the OLDER one, which is the
case that was broken.

A restore no longer depends on a tab staying open. The backup sidecar has no
Flask, so it loads the dump and leaves a sentinel for the api container to run
the migrations. The only thing that ever acted on that sentinel was the poll
loop of the modal that queued the restore, so closing the tab - or letting a
token expire - during the minutes a load takes left the data at the old revision
under new code, every query on a newer column failing, and nothing retrying. A
watcher in the api container now claims and runs it. The endpoint no longer runs
the upgrade at all; it only makes sure something is pending, which is also how a
failed upgrade is retried. That takes Alembic out of the request path, where it
could outrun the gunicorn worker timeout and be killed mid-chain, leaving a
half-applied revision the next attempt trips over.

The claim is a rename, because rename(2) is atomic: several workers and a
browser poll can race the same sentinel and exactly one wins. A failed upgrade
parks itself as .upgrade-failed rather than re-arming, since putting it back
would rerun the same broken chain on every poll forever.

Instance files come from the set being restored. The restic call asked for
'latest' regardless of which set was named, so restoring anything but the newest
paired that set's DATABASE with the NEWEST snapshot's uploads and plugins.json -
a mismatch nothing downstream could detect. Now scoped by the set's own tag,
which backup.sh has always written. The tree is replaced rather than restored
over, so files created after the snapshot are gone afterwards: a restore has to
put the site back to the snapshot, not merge into it. Done as a staged swap
rather than 'restic restore --delete --target /', because that aims a delete
pass at the container root and the cost of getting its filter wrong is the whole
filesystem.

Nothing destructive happens before a copy is taken. The dump carries DROP TABLE
per table with no transaction around it, and the instance tree is replaced
wholesale, so a wrong set or a failure part-way through left nothing to go back
to. restore.sh now writes a pre-restore-<stamp>/ set - dump, instance tarball
and a README saying what it is and how to load it - and refuses to touch
anything if that copy cannot be written.

Two more found while proving the above, both of which stopped the overlay
working at all:

* Every script under scripts/backup/ was committed non-executable, while every
  other .sh in the repo is 755. The compose entrypoints are
  /opt/backup/watch.sh and backup.sh from a read-only bind mount, so the backup
  and watcher containers could not start from a clean checkout on any machine,
  and nothing could fix it at runtime.

* Dockerfile.backup could not build without the corporate CA staged. A plain
  COPY of the gitignored cert fails outright; the trailing-glob form does too,
  because BuildKit fails a COPY whose pattern matches nothing - which is exactly
  the case being handled. Copying the directory and testing for the file inside
  it is the form that works both ways. Verified by building the image with no
  cert present.

Suite 2600 passed / 9 skipped. The finalizer has unit tests covering the atomic
claim, the parked failure and the endpoint no longer running the upgrade.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 45s
Six findings from a four-agent review of the imported work, plus the contract
bump the import owed. Nothing here changes what the imported features do.

The contract version was not bumped for a change that widens what a plugin may
declare. The asset-panel vocabulary gained two tab groups (serviceprocess,
reports), a datetime column format, a map.body key and a tabs section that
renders as a table. 0.29.0 bumped for exactly this class of change when the
optional group was added, so this is 0.31.0 with a ledger row. All four are
optional and resolve server-side when absent, so a plugin declaring none of them
is unaffected.

Site Backups now answers honestly where it has nothing behind it. The overlay is
a compose profile: a separate container writes sets onto a shared volume and the
api container only reads them. A Windows/IIS install runs no such container and
the default root resolves to a drive-letter path nothing creates, so Back Up Now
either failed on PermissionError or reported a run queued that would never
happen, under a banner reading "No verified backup yet" - which describes a
backup that failed, not a feature that was never installed. The three write
routes refuse with the same 404 shape the configuration-policy routes use for a
disabled feature, the list and status routes report whether a store exists, and
the page says so instead of offering buttons.

Two listAll callers still read a response that is not there. listAll resolves to
a plain array through fetchAllPages, so response.data.data throws: PC Types
settings rendered empty, and in Configuration Policies the throw happened inside
the shared try, so PC types, applications, the action catalog and monitors were
all left unassigned by one bad read.

The agent package upload cannot succeed on IIS as shipped. MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH
went to 256 MB to admit the ~69 MB tray binary, but IIS request filtering caps a
body at 30,000,000 bytes and answers 413 before waitress sees the request, so
web.config needs the matching requestLimits.

The backup image could not be built by anyone outside a TLS-intercepting
network. Dockerfile.backup did a plain COPY of a gitignored corporate root CA,
and a COPY of a missing file fails the build. The trailing glob makes it a no-op
when the cert is absent.

endpointstates.domain was the one new string column written without a clamp.
Under STRICT_TRANS_TABLES an over-long value raises Data too long and aborts the
whole check-in, so a single malformed report would stop a machine reporting
telemetry and events entirely.

Not fixed here, and left with upstream: the restore path finalizes its schema
upgrade only from a browser poll loop, so closing the tab mid-restore leaves the
data behind the code; it restores instance files from the newest snapshot rather
than the set that was asked for; and it takes no safety dump before the
destructive load. All three are in the Docker-only overlay, which this site does
not run, and none can be validated here.

6e36df841e Import the wilm endpoint telemetry, PC Detail rework and backup overlay
Ports 37 of Benjamin Baker's commits from the wilm branch, mirrored from the
corporate GitHub at 7905917c. wilm rides the publication lineage and shares no
ancestor with wj, so this is a filtered tree patch rather than a merge:
94 files, and every path the publication export strips (docs/, tools/, mcp/,
CLAUDE.md, start-*.sh, .gitea/, the three excluded tests) is held back, because
a raw diff would delete each of them from this tree.

What comes across:

* Endpoint telemetry, phase 2. Physical disk health from two sources, NIC link
  state, boot type, Defender health, processor/memory/chassis inventory, the
  listening TCP set, mapped network drives and Windows Update history. Five
  additive migrations, 0012 through 0016, off the 0011 head.
* Mapped drives are collected by a probe running in the interactive user's
  session, because they do not exist in the agent's session 0. Two Windows
  sources can disagree about one drive and the worse status wins, so a
  half-broken share is never rendered as healthy.
* Windows events are reported once each, keyed on the channel's own record id,
  instead of being re-sent whenever a report overlapped the last one.
* PC Detail rework: Details cards flow, the hand-written Network card gives way
  to a full address history, Storage and disk health merge into one card with
  two sections, Operator Reports and Corporate Tools get their own tabs.
* An opt-in restic backup overlay with a third container, restore gated on the
  dump's own data revision rather than the code head, and backup/restore history.
* The agent's version is read from the binary's PE version rather than trusted
  from the csproj, and the Fleet view gains an Agent Version column.
* The enqueue route now asks caller_holds instead of the owner's permissions,
  which closes the scoped-token elevation on run_script, update_app and
  system_restart.

Held back deliberately:

* agent/installer/install-shopdbagent.ps1 stays deleted, as upstream deleted it.
  The installer that reaches a bay is generated by _install_script() in
  plugins/endpoints/api/siteagent.py; the standalone script had stopped being
  shipped and was collecting fixes no endpoint ever ran.
* The .gitignore hunk adding docs/*.md. Correct on the publication lineage,
  where docs/ becomes the wiki and its absence is how the gates detect a
  published checkout. Here it would silently ignore every new doc.
* Their deletions of docs/DEV-BUILD-TEST.md and docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md. Upstream
  those were stubs; here PLUGIN-HOOKS.md is the 31KB document CLAUDE.md points
  readers at.
* Five zero-byte files committed by an accidental `git add -A`, a run log from
  the author's own machine, and docs/notes/, which is working scratch that says
  so in its own header and belongs in devnotes/ on this side.

Carried with the import so it lands green: the 17 new routes are described in
docs/api-inventory.json with the spec and project map regenerated, and two new
frontend specs read fixtures through fileURLToPath(URL) which node rejects under
jsdom's own URL global.

Suite 2591 passed / 9 skipped; frontend 391 passed; naming, style and doc gates

45acaf0b8f Resolve an asset type by name, and send a map position with its level
Wave 5, the asset forms. Both defects are the same mistake in different
clothes: a form deciding something it should have been told.

Four forms carried a hardcoded asset-type id - const COMPUTER_ASSETTYPEID = 2,
and the same for machines, printers and network devices - to tell
CustomFieldsInputs which type's fields to render. Those ids come from seed
order. On the instance they were written against, computer was 2; on a freshly
seeded database computer is 1 and 2 is network_device. So the PC form asked for
another type's custom fields, rendered them, and dropped everything typed into
them behind a success toast, because the values were keyed to a type the record
does not have. Verified in a browser against a correctly built dist: the form
now requests assettypeid=1 on an instance where computer is 1.

The name is the stable thing - assettype is a fixed vocabulary and the API
already publishes the mapping - so composables/assetTypeIds.js resolves it once
per page load. A failed load leaves it undefined, which renders no custom-field
panel: a missing panel is honest, a guessed id is what this replaces.

Three of the five forms that emit a map position sent mapx and mapy without
levelid. ADR-017 is explicit that a position without its level cannot be drawn
on the right floor plan, so a picked pin saved a null level and rendered
nowhere - while the form displayed "Position: x, y" back, because it kept the
value it had never sent.

The ADR-017 gate should have caught that and did not: it globbed '*.py' only,
so it policed what the server emits and never what the browser sends. It now
covers .vue and .js too, and accepts both quoting styles. Verified by planting:
drop levelid from PCForm again and the gate names that exact line.

Five composable tests, including a fixture with a DIFFERENT seed order - the
case the constants got wrong.

Still open from this area, and deliberately not in this commit: the PC form
writes an INHERITED location back as the record's own. Fixing it needs the API
to distinguish an owned locationid from a derived one, which is a contract
change rather than a form fix.

377cc69264 Make a partly-undone import retryable, and refuse a plan it cannot deliver
Some checks failed
CI / naming (push) Successful in 3s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 12s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s
CI / backend (push) Failing after 4m44s
Five findings from the review of the WINC import, plus the rendering each fix
needed to be usable.

An undo that hit a conflict wrote status 'undone' anyway, and undo_batch returns
immediately for an undone batch. So the one entry that needed a retry was the
only one that could never get it: the human resolves the conflict, clicks Undo,
and gets a no-op. A conflicted undo is now 'partially-undone', undoneat is
stamped only when the batch is genuinely finished, and the batches table offers
"Retry undo" for that status. The column was String(16) and the new value is
exactly 16 characters, so migration 7d38 widens it to 32 rather than rely on an
exact fit.

_UNDO_REFERENCES listed only assets, so a business unit this batch created was
hard-deleted even when something else still pointed at it. Two of the three
missing referrers are real FKs (dashboarddefaults.businessunitid,
businessunits.parentid): MySQL raises and the whole undo rolls back, so the
batch cannot be undone at all. The third, notifications.businessunitid, has no
FK, so the delete succeeded and left a notification pointing at an id that no
longer exists - silently, on both engines. All four are listed and the guard is
tested through the route.

The reference guard also queried tables that need not exist. A lean site drops
the tables of plugins it does not install (ADR-014), and notifications is
plugin-owned, so on such a site the query raised 1146, rolled the undo back and
left the batch permanently un-undoable. Absent tables are skipped; a table that
does not exist cannot hold a reference.

_PACKET_GROUPS reports on location, but apply_plan only ever creates business
units - it sets locationid only when the location already resolved. A plan
needing a new location asked the admin to acknowledge it, got the tick, wrote
nothing, and reported nothing. build_packet now takes the groups the writer can
actually create; anything else needed is 'uncreatable' and blocks at plan time,
where the admin can act on it, rather than dying at commit on a message about
acknowledging something the screen had no control for. The writer refuses the
same case independently. Both the console packet and the import page name the
blocking groups: setting blocking without printing the reason would leave the
banner pointing at nothing.

The web undo route caught ValueError only, so refusing a batch belonging to
another importer surfaced as a 500. That refusal is new too: the journal is a
general primitive and undo_batch does not filter on kind, so any other
importer's batches were reversible through this endpoint, carrying WINC's
references map - which lists none of that importer's tables, making every
reference check pass and every delete unconditional.

Nine tests. The two guards were verified by planting violations: dropping
dashboarddefaults from the references map, and passing creatable=None, each fail
the test written for them.

405a2ef919 Cap request bodies, close a hole in the gate, fix to_dict and two settings pages
Six fixes that were ours regardless of what the sister site does. Four came out
of our own reviews; two you reported from the settings pages.

MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH was set nowhere. Every upload route caps its own payload, but
each of those checks runs after the body has arrived: the first touch of
request.form or request.files makes Werkzeug parse the whole multipart and spool
the file to a temp file, so a route can reject the content and still have paid
for the transfer and the disk. Three separate reviews found that shape in three
different routes, which makes it a property of the app rather than of any
handler. 128 MB, clearing the 64 MB agent binary with room for the envelope.

The naming gate excluded devnotes with --exclude-dir, which matches a directory
of that NAME at any depth - so a force-added plugins/<plugin>/devnotes/ was
invisible to every check in the file, ADR-015 included. Replaced with a path
anchored post-filter. Verified by planting the same site literal in root
devnotes/ AND in plugins/endpoints/devnotes/: the gate now reports exactly one,
the nested one. Before, it reported none.

BaseModel.to_dict walked __table__.columns and published every one, so a model
without an override published whatever it carried - including columns added
later by someone not thinking about this method. User has no override, so
User.to_dict() returned its bcrypt hash. Nothing calls it in a response path
today, which is luck rather than design. A blanket allowlist would empty the
output of all 34 models relying on the default, so this pins a floor instead:
named secret-bearing columns are never emitted, and a model may extend the set.
Eight tests, including a sweep over every mapped model.

ActionPicker's Esc handlers had .prevent but not .stop, so the event bubbled to
the wrapper and closed the whole picker instead of returning to the monitor list.

The branding page reported "error loading image" on the site and badge logos.
Two bugs stacked. The load failure was real: the preview used the stored value
as a raw src, and that value is root-relative, so under /shopdb or /ops it
resolved against the SERVER root and 404d - siteSettings.js wraps every logo in
withBase() and this page was the one place that did not. With that fixed two of
three were still invisible, because the shipped GE mark is fill="white" for the
dark sidebar and was rendering white-on-white. The preview tile now sits on a
mid-tone checker so artwork of any colour reads against it.

The floor-map levels table ran off the right with its cells crushed - nine
columns of inputs, no scroll wrapper, and .data-table is styled nowhere. My
first attempt reached for the global .table-container and made it WORSE: that
class also sets white-space: nowrap, and a full sentence of hint text lives in
one of the cells, so nowrap forced the table wider still. It now scrolls in a
local wrapper, the hint wraps, and the name input has a width instead of
collapsing to one character.

13be0ef90f Import the wilm agent store and WINC adoption work, with four fixes
Eleven commits from the sister site: a reversible Maximo/WINC machine-adoption
import, a versioned agent binary store with upload and rollback, remote-BuildKit
CI, tray version reporting, and UI fixes. Applied as a patch again - the
published mirror rewrites hashes, so the branches have unrelated histories and
git refuses to merge them.

Reviewed by three agents before merging. Four things fixed here.

THE PUBLISH WORKFLOW WAS DEAD. The new remote-BuildKit step in
publish-images.yml sits at column 0 instead of indented under steps:, so the
whole file is invalid YAML and GitHub would refuse it. Their entire GHCR
distribution channel - which Start-ShopDBDev.ps1 and the compose files consume -
was broken at the source and clearly never run. Indented; all five workflows now
parse.

THE IMPORT'S APPROVAL CHECK COULD NOT FAIL. commit() built the plan and the
approval packet from the same upload and then asked the writer whether they
matched, so packet_matches_plan compared a hash against itself. The documented
contract - "a human approves a specific, frozen plan, and the writer can prove
nothing drifted" - did not exist in the web path: an admin could preview file A
and commit file B, gated only by the needs-create group NAMES they ticked. The
preview's planhash is now required at commit and checked against a freshly
rebuilt plan. Their tests committed without previewing, which is what let this
through; they go through the real flow now, and three new tests pin it - all
confirmed to fail with the check stubbed out.

endpoints.agentpackage QUIETLY GREW. It used to mean "wrap the staged exe in a
ZIP"; with the upload routes it also means "choose the executable every future
package installs and runs as SYSTEM". Before this, staging needed filesystem
access to the server. The permission description still said only "generate and
download a package", so an admin granting it could not see what they were
granting. Reworded.

NOTHING RECORDED WHAT WAS STAGED, OR BY WHOM. The manifest held version, size
and timestamp; re-uploading a version replaces the bytes in place under the same
label. A sha256 of the stored file is now recorded, and the upload is
audit-logged with it - after an incident there was previously no answer to who
put that binary on the fleet.

Also documented the nine new routes in docs/api-inventory.json (that gate cannot
run on the mirror, so it falls to us at promotion time again), regenerated the
spec and the project map, and kept our own docs where they conflicted: docs/ is
scrubbed from the mirror, so their DEV-BUILD-TEST.md still had the dev-be
channel mapping we corrected, and their PLUGIN-HOOKS.md was a new 45-line file
rather than our 737-line canonical one. Their journal section is appended to
ours.

Contract version comes across as 0.30.0 for a genuinely additive surface.

88a683dad3 Act on the five-agent review of the wilm import
Findings the reviewers verified, fixed here. The larger cluster they found is
NOT fixed and is listed at the end.

Frontend. reportImageUrl is called from the template, so it ran on every render
with no in-flight guard: a report whose fetch was pending was re-requested, and
because each resolution reassigns the map the whole grid re-rendered and
re-fired the rest, costing up to N-squared requests for N thumbnails. Two blobs
resolving for one key orphaned the first object URL where revoke could not
reach it, and a failure was never recorded so a broken image retried forever.
Guarded, deduplicated, failures remembered.

Three CSS variables did not exist, so their hardcoded fallbacks always won:
--bg-alt (the "No screenshot" tile, near-black in light mode), and
--warning-text/-bg/-border (dark khaki on a dark modal). Replaced with real
tokens. The DEV badge's literal #c62828 is var(--danger).

Installer and launcher. The generated site installer ran docker compose with no
-p, so the project name defaulted to the package folder - which carries the
version. Installing the next version created a new project with new empty
volumes and the site came up looking wiped, old data stranded under the old
project. Pinned to shopdb-<channel>.

Start-ShopDBDev deleted any existing -TargetDir that lacked a .git, recursively
and without asking. For a script handed round as "save it anywhere and run it",
a mistyped -TargetDir pointed at Documents would have destroyed it. It now only
reclaims a directory that is empty or carries this launcher's own marker, and
refuses otherwise.

Dev secrets came from Get-Random, which is System.Random: a 32-bit seed, and all
four values off one stream, so recovering one recovers the rest. They sign JWTs
for a stack a pilot may point at real imported data. CSPRNG now, and the API
port binds to loopback like the DB rather than every interface.

Two of my own from earlier in this session. The operator-report size check sat
below request.form, and the first access to that parses and spools the whole
multipart - so it ran after the thing it prevents. Moved above. And the channel
remap missed build-channel-installer.ps1 entirely, where it set BOTH channels to
main: a "stable" package built from the trunk, the exact mislabel the remap was
for. stable now resolves the newest v* tag.

Also removed a zero-byte docs/ShopDB-Planner-Tasks-v2.csv that rode in.

NOT FIXED - needs a decision, and it is the biggest thing the review found.
Migrations 0006/0007 freeze the originating site's fleet convention into
product seed: a shipped policy literally named "RPCA Shopfloor App Monitors",
a hardcoded 'Shopfloor PC' type deciding who gets the shipped watch-list, and
shipped rows the API refuses to edit or deactivate - including their launch
paths. A site whose eDNC is on another drive cannot correct it and gets
permanent false drift. Those are stamped migrations, so this gets harder to
undo at every install. See the review notes before anyone upgrades a second
site through 0006-0007.

Suite 2314 passing, frontend 316, all three PowerShell files parse.

The channel work assumed the branch model it was written against: upstream,
main is a release branch and dev-be is the trunk. Neither holds here. main IS
our trunk - 212 commits past v0.11.3 - and a release is a tag (ADR-007). dev-be
does not exist at all, so the edge half would never have fired and the launchers
would have cloned a missing branch.

Taken literally it would have published our unreleased trunk to every site as
:stable, which is the opposite of what the word promises to someone who has no
way to check.

Remapped throughout:

  tag v*  -> :stable   the thing that was actually released
  main    -> :edge     the trunk, DEV badge lit

publish-images.yml keys the channel on github.ref_type = tag rather than on a
branch name, so the mapping cannot silently drift back. Start-ShopDBDev.ps1,
dev-bootstrap.ps1 and build-channel-installer.ps1 resolve stable to the newest
v* tag via git ls-remote --sort=-v:refname, warning and falling back to main if
a repo has no tags yet. DEV-BUILD-TEST.md follows.

The push: trigger is commented out. Automatic publishing waits on someone
confirming the GHCR package exists under this owner and deciding who may pull
it; workflow_dispatch works meanwhile. Turning it on is one uncomment.

All three scripts parse clean under pwsh, and the tag-selection expression was
run against this repo rather than eyeballed. Per the standing rule, the runtime
paths still want a pass in the win11 VM before anyone leans on them.

27b2817fd7 Import the wilm endpoint-monitor and channel-distribution work
Everything on origin/wilm that is not on the published main, applied as one
change because the published history has rewritten hashes: per-commit
cherry-pick conflicts against our main even though the squashed diff applies
clean.

Contents: endpoint monitor catalog + policy attachment + warn-only drift
reconciler, operator issue reports from the tray, agent launch-path allowlist,
and the GHCR channel-image distribution path for dev workstations.

NOT READY FOR main. Open items:
  - 10 new routes are absent from docs/api-inventory.json, so
    test_api_inventory_parity fails. That gate SKIPS on the published mirror
    (the test ships, its data file is scrubbed), which is why wilm never saw it.
  - dev-bootstrap.ps1 and Start-ShopDBDev.ps1 hardcode the ge-aero GitHub org.
  - plugins/endpoints/plugin.py carries a whitespace-only re-indent.

7c09f1e4ca Add a standalone endpoint agent uninstaller
Reverses everything the installer and site-agent generator create: stops and deletes the service, kills agent/tray processes, removes the tray Run key and the HKLM\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB credential hive in both registry views, drops the Defender path exclusion, and deletes the install directory and ProgramData tree. Every step is best-effort and idempotent so it is safe to re-run and safe on a partially installed host.

Tracking docs/openapi.json (so the app can serve the spec at runtime) makes docs/ exist on the published GitHub mirror, which defeated the skipif(not DOCS.is_dir()) guard in the docs publish/version tests: they then ran against a prose-less checkout and failed on CI. Key the skip off docs/*.md prose instead, matching the canonical published-checkout definition in scripts/check-gates-ran.sh.

Also: the OpenAPI generator emitted a trailing-slash path (/api/docs/), which a strict proxy like IIS treats as a redirecting resource a subpath-mounted client cannot follow; normalise trailing slashes in _norm_path and correct the committed spec. And allow docx (python-docx) as an undeclared import: it is used only by scripts/docs/generate_docx.py, a developer tool that never runs on a deployed site.

96a4a38c8c Make the legacy import safe to resume, and aimable without editing it
All checks were successful
CI / naming (push) Successful in 4s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 12s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s
CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m13s
Three defects broke the loader's own documented resume guarantee. All three
were silent: nothing raised, the run finished cheerfully, and fewer rows
arrived than anyone counted.

THE PAGE SIZE WAS CLAMPED, SO THE 409-RESOLVE SEARCHED THE FIRST 100 ROWS

_upsert asked for ?per_page=10000 and read one response. The server clamps any
page size to MAX_PAGE_SIZE, which is 100 - not an error, not a warning, just
100 rows. Anything past that resolved to None, so the id never reached the
crosswalk and the run quietly dropped a model's link on every machine that used
it, or an application's installs.

The target already holds more than 100 models and more than 100 applications,
so this fired on any re-run or resume - exactly the case the loader documents
as safe.

_resolve_existing now tries the exact natural-key filter the API has exposed
all along (?modelnumber= on models, ?appname= on applications, ?vendor= on
vendors) and then pages properly, bounded. An endpoint without such a filter
ignores the unknown parameter and the paged walk finds the row.

stage_metrology repeated the same mistake in its own way: it skipped 409s
entirely, so a resumed run left the tool out of the crosswalk and the Controls
edge unmade - metrology PCs driving nothing. stage_printers already had the
resolve branch; that stage was written later and missed it.

THE CROSSWALK WAS NOT BOUND TO THE DATABASE IT DESCRIBED

idmap.json maps this site's legacy ids to assetids in ONE database, and those
assetids mean nothing anywhere else. Keeping it across a drop-and-rebuild left
warranties and printer assignments attaching to whatever asset now holds that
id: wrong data, no error. The runbook's two "drop and rebuild" steps never
mentioned the file.

The loader now writes a uuid marker into the TARGET's own settings table, so it
dies with the data, and stamps it into the crosswalk. A crosswalk built against
a different database is refused before a row is written. The database name
alone would not do - a rebuild keeps the name. A file written before this guard
is adopted rather than refused, so no existing crosswalk is stranded.

Also adds --idmap, so one checkout can drive more than one target.

THE SOURCE DATABASES ARE NAMED, NOT HARDCODED

'shopdb_src' appeared at 29 call sites, so aiming the loader at the prodscratch
restore meant editing run.py. Those names are now LOGICAL and resolved in
Source.db() from SOURCE_DB_MAIN / SOURCE_DB_USB / SOURCE_DB_EMPLOYEES, with
host, port, user and password overridable too. The call sites are untouched -
resolving centrally avoids missing one, and the literals now read as
documentation of which source a stage draws from. The run prints every source
it redirected, so "it imported nothing" can be told apart from "it read the
wrong database".

This is what stood between the loader and the prodscratch run.

TWO SMALLER ONES

_source_password() raised IndexError rather than its intended message whenever
the DATABASE_URL user is not root, which it will not be on a real server.

main() returned 1 on failure into a caller that discarded it. A run that logged
200 endpoint errors exited 0 and read as a success in a deploy log; it now
exits non-zero.

TESTS AND DOCS

The loader had no tests at all. Sixteen now cover the resolve, the crosswalk
binding and the source aliasing - the logic that can run without a MySQL
source, which is the part that was wrong. Verified they are not vacuous by
running the old algorithm against the same fixture: it returns None where the
new one returns the row.

The README claimed 15 stages "complete" with counts from 2026-07-13 that two
later routing changes invalidated, and the runbook told operators to verify a
fresh import against them. Both corrected, with the three gaps NOT fixed here
recorded plainly: warranties, notifications and knowledgebase POST without a
duplicate check so resuming across them doubles rows; there is no --dry-run or
target guard; and the verify stage counts target assets against source machines,
which is apples to oranges.

Full suite 2178 passed.

b8fc2e9e33 Upgrade the eight shipped dependencies carrying advisories
scan_sbom.py reported 50 advisory matches against shipped components, 16 of them
at or above HIGH. This clears all of them: the scan now reports 0 shipped
findings and the gate passes.

  pyjwt             2.12.1  -> 2.13.0
  idna              3.13    -> 3.19
  axios             1.13.2  -> 1.20.0   (29 advisories)
  postcss           8.5.6   -> 8.5.26
  dompurify         3.4.11  -> 3.4.14
  nanoid            3.3.11  -> 3.3.18
  follow-redirects  1.15.11 -> 1.16.0
  form-data         4.0.5   -> 4.0.6

Every one is an in-major bump inside a range the manifests already allowed, so
this is a lockfile refresh rather than a migration. The Python side was compiled
with --upgrade-package for each name so nothing else moved; the diff is two
version lines and their hashes.

nanoid is worth recording: it is transitive under postcss at ^3.3.11, and its
advisories are fixed on both the 3.x and 5.x branches. 3.3.18 is the fix that is
actually reachable.

The declared floors for axios and dompurify were raised to the versions in the
lockfile. They were ^1.6.0 and ^3.4.11, which still nominally admitted the
vulnerable range - npm resolves to the highest match so an install was never
going to pick one, but the manifest should state the minimum safe version rather
than rely on that.

axios 1.20 adds optional proxy-agent support, which pulls https-proxy-agent and
agent-base into the tree. Both are Node-only and neither reaches the browser
bundle; the build was checked for them. The main chunk grew 256kB to 271kB
(85.7kB to 90.5kB gzipped) from the rest of the axios delta.

The PyJWT entry in the allowlist was removed rather than kept. It stopped
matching the moment the upgrade landed, and an allowlist that accumulates
entries for advisories that no longer apply is one nobody rereads. The reasoning
is preserved as the worked example in docs/DEPENDENCY-SECURITY.md.

Verified: full suite 2161 passed, frontend 273 passed, build clean,
npm audit --omit=dev reports 0 vulnerabilities.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 42s
CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m18s
The rollup took the highest fix version across a component's advisories. That
is wrong whenever an advisory is patched on more than one release branch.

nanoid is the case that exposed it. Both advisories against it are fixed on two
branches - 3.3.16 and 5.1.16, 3.3.18 and 5.1.6 - and the rollup recommended
5.1.16 with a MAJOR warning. But nanoid is transitive, pulled in by postcss at
`^3.3.11`, a range no 5.x release can satisfy. The recommendation was not merely
a bigger job than necessary, it was unreachable: the actual target is 3.3.18, a
patch inside the existing range.

Per advisory the target is now the lowest published fix above the version in
use; per component it is the highest of those, since one upgrade has to satisfy
every advisory against it. Fixes on older branches are skipped rather than
offered as a downgrade - axios advisories list 0.30.x fixes that would have been
a downgrade from 1.13.2.

This also gives the MAJOR label meaning. It now fires only when no fix exists on
the current branch, rather than whenever some branch happened to be higher.

794bb4668f Add vulnerability scanning on top of the SBOM
Some checks failed
CI / naming (push) Successful in 3s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 13s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
The SBOM was generated and installed onto every server, and nothing read it.
"Are we exposed to this advisory" was still a person going and looking, which
meant it happened when somebody remembered to.

scripts/scan_sbom.py queries OSV.dev by purl - no account, no API key, no agent,
no vulnerability database to maintain on a box that cannot reach the internet.
The SBOM is already the input OSV wants, so this is a lookup against what
shipped rather than a second scan of the tree that could disagree with it.

Three decisions worth recording:

Shipped and build-only findings are both reported, but only shipped ones can
fail a build. Two thirds of the components here are build tooling the SBOM
already marks scope 'excluded', and the highest-severity match in the whole tree
today is a CRITICAL against the test runner. A gate that fails a release over
that trains everybody to bypass it, and then it catches nothing.

Severity is taken from the advisory, never derived. Where there is only a CVSS
vector the report says UNKNOWN, which is shown and never gates. A guessed score
is worse than an honest gap because somebody would act on it.

The allowlist is a record rather than a mute button: each entry carries the
reason, the accepter, the date, and what would invalidate the reasoning. The
first entry is a worked example - a PyJWT algorithm-confusion advisory that
needs both mixed algorithm families and a raw JSON JWK as the key, and this
application configures neither.

The report ends with a per-component upgrade rollup, since that is the part
somebody acts on. A target on a different major version is labelled rather than
listed beside patch bumps as though the two cost the same.

Current state: 8 shipped components have fixes available, none of them
exploitable through a path this application opens today.

784964c907 Bring the wilm branch into main: endpoints plugin, agent, policies, CSV import
Ports the corporate-GitHub wilm branch onto main, keeping the two branches
separate. Thirteen upstream commits arrive with their authorship intact; the
review fixes and the portability work below are on top.

What arrives:

  endpoints plugin  - a ShopDB agent reporting endpoint state, telemetry,
                      services and interfaces, with a command channel the agent
                      long-polls. Ingest stays on the generic collector route
                      (ADR-006); the agent key is a UI-managed single-scope
                      token whose revocation is an instant kill switch.
  computers policies - Configuration and Business Policies (RMM-style), scope
                      trees validated at write time, actions checked against
                      the endpoints command allowlist. Feature-gated: every
                      route 404s while the setting is off, so enabling it can
                      never half-expose the surface.
  asset CSV import  - templates, a collector script carrying the site path, and
                      a validate-then-commit import. A plugin can own a virtual
                      column plus a post-write row hook, which is how a PC's
                      machine number becomes a controls link without a
                      hand-built relationships sheet.
  agent/            - the Windows agent and its installer.

Contract 0.21.0 -> 0.24.0, additive throughout: register_import_hook (0.22),
mint/list/revoke_service_token (0.23), collector_authorized (0.24). The stability
table had no rows for any of them and now does.

MySQL 5.6 portability. The branch stored three policy columns as sa.JSON, the
only JSON columns in the product, and 5.6 has no JSON type: the migration failed
with a bare syntax error near the word JSON. They are TEXT now, through a
JSONText type decorator, so all seventeen call sites still read and write dicts.
The convention elsewhere is already TEXT (guides.blocksjson,
geenforce.manifestjson).

Review fixes carried on top:

  - six policy GETs were jwt_required(optional=True), which authenticates a
    caller without checking anything; they require computers.view now, and six
    redundant jwt_required decorators are gone
  - the agent installer took a default BaseUrl and CollectorKey, so a mistyped
    run silently pointed an endpoint at the wrong instance; both are mandatory
    and a non-https BaseUrl throws unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed
  - a committing CSV import wrote no audit row

Documentation: the 34 new routes are described in docs/api-inventory.json, which
is hand-maintained on purpose, and the generated spec now covers 331 paths and
477 operations across 22 surfaces. DEVELOPMENT-SETUP's 1071 troubleshooting row
said "use MySQL 8 for dev" and now gives the actual fix, including the trap that
5.6 downgrades ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC to Compact with a warning instead of an error.

Full suite 2123 passed, vitest 260 passed, all seventeen plugin chains migrate
clean on MySQL 5.6 and the naming, docs, parity and read-surface gates are green.

f4b17d0fa9 Prove the gates ran, and ship the spec the app serves
Two faults with one cause: docs/ is excluded from publication because the prose
becomes the wiki, and two things under docs/ are not prose.

shopdb/core/api/docs.py reads docs/openapi.json AT RUNTIME to serve /api/docs.
Excluding it meant every site installed from the published repo shipped the
ReDoc page, loaded it, and got {"error":"openapi.json not generated"}. The spec
now publishes - it is a product file that happens to live under docs/. The prose
still goes to the wiki and nowhere else, and docs/api-inventory.json stays out,
because nothing reads it at runtime.

The second fault is the reason this was worth chasing. Three gate modules skip
themselves when the file they read is absent, which is correct in a published
checkout and silently wrong on GitHub, which runs against exactly that checkout.
The modules skipped, CI reported green, and an outside branch added nine
undocumented routes and passed. A gate that stops running is worse than no gate,
because nobody looks at it again.

scripts/check-gates-ran.sh asserts each gate ran, with two lists: the ones that
must run everywhere, and the ones needing files publication deliberately leaves
behind - required here, allowed to be absent there. A `gates` job runs it in CI.
Proven in both directions: green in each checkout, and red when the file a gate
reads is removed.

Also purge instance/plugins.json from the publication tree. It was never
published - it is untracked there - but an old copy had sat in that tree for
months, protected from --delete by its own exclude, and it made the published
repo fail its own suite locally: 13 plugins enabled where the code expects 16.
A publication tree that cannot pass its own tests cannot be verified before
shipping. That is the exact trap the comment at the top of the script warns
about, which had claimed a second victim.

Also: concurrency on the workflow, so a second push supersedes the first rather
than queueing behind it holding a self-hosted runner.

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.

3c68ac2850 ADR-015: the site-literal check was matching nothing, and had been all along
The patterns are assembled from fragments so the published script does not
contain the strings it greps for. They used the apostrophe-escape form
('a'\''b'), which EMBEDS a literal apostrophe, instead of the concatenation form
('a''b'), which joins them. Every pattern therefore carried a stray quote in the
middle and could never match a line of real code, so the check passed everything
from the day it was written.

Verified the only way that means anything: plant a violation, watch it fail,
revert. Fixed, it immediately found 25 real hits.

Among them, in seven places, the default ServiceNow URLs - one organisation's QA
tenant, shipped with the integration ENABLED. Any site that had not configured
ServiceNow still rendered ticket links, pointing its technicians at a tenant
they cannot reach; an adopting site would have been pointed into somebody else's
instance entirely. There is no sensible cross-site default for "which ServiceNow
is yours", so the URLs ship blank and the integration ships off, matching the
Zabbix block that got this right.

A named SaaS tenant is as site-specific as a hostname, so it joins the patterns.
Colocated .spec.js files are excluded the same way tests/ already is: sample data
naming a facility is not a shipped literal.

315d4f46ce Repair backup revisions that recorded a mapped drive
Snapshots written before the client was fixed stored "W:\backup\partmarker\..."
as their location. That mapping exists only inside the SYSTEM logon session,
only during an enforcement cycle, and only on the bay that wrote it, so the path
recorded against a marker resolved to nothing for the person most likely to open
it.

The script rewrites backuprevisions.sharepath and nothing else - no revision is
created, deleted, re-filed or re-hashed, and no file on the share moves, since
the bytes are already where the UNC will point. Dry run by default.

It matches on the drive letter alone and leaves everything else untouched,
including paths that are already UNC and paths on another drive. This repairs a
specific known mistake rather than normalising whatever it can reach, which is
the version of this script that would eventually rewrite something it should
not have.

rewrite() is kept pure so the decision of WHICH paths to touch is testable
without an app context; the tests cover the already-UNC, other-drive, empty,
case-difference and trailing-separator cases.

7d7caba56b Let a maintenance script find the database the site actually uses
Running `python scripts/export_catalog.py` on a deployed site died with
1045 "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'", naming a user that site
does not have.

Nothing loads .env for a plain script run. wsgi.py calls load_dotenv() for the
served app and the flask CLI loads .env for itself, so both reach the real
database; a bare `python scripts/...` gets neither. DATABASE_URL then stays
unset, FLASK_ENV defaults to development, and config.py falls back to a
hardcoded root@localhost URL.

The read-only failure above is the harmless version. Six of these seven
scripts WRITE - backfill, reclassify, retype, collapse, refile, import - and
on any box where those fallback root credentials happen to resolve, they would
have silently rewritten the wrong database with no error at all. That is also
why this survived: the dev .env points at root, so the fallback matched what
the developer expected and nothing ever looked wrong here.

All seven now load .env from the repo root, resolved from __file__ rather than
the working directory, since these are run by hand during a deployment and
rarely from the repo root.

tests/test_maintenance_scripts.py pins it for any future script: every script
that calls create_app must call load_dotenv, before create_app rather than
after it, and with an explicit path rather than a cwd-relative search.

INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md has said MySQL 8.4 LTS is standard for new installs since
8.0 reached end of life in April 2026, while both compose files and the offline
bundler still pinned 8.0. A site reading the Windows runbook and a site reading
the Docker one were being told to run different servers, and the migration page
written this week sent people onto the dead one.

Verified against a real server rather than by editing a tag: 8.4.11, core chain
plus five plugin chains applied clean, 66 tables at a single utf8mb4_unicode_ci
collation, six alembic version tables. The image's PyMySQL authenticates against
8.4's caching_sha2_password, which is what requirements.in already pins
cryptography for.

Existing servers need one thing done FIRST: 8.4 removes mysql_native_password,
so an account created on 5.6 or 5.7 must be moved to caching_sha2_password
before the upgrade or it cannot authenticate afterwards. In-place also has no
downgrade path, and 5.7 cannot reach 8.4 in one hop. For databases this size a
dump into a fresh 8.4 server is the better trade: same outage, and the old
server stays as the rollback.

Air-gapped sites need a fresh offline bundle, because the tarball carries the
MySQL image alongside the app image.

Also here, found by having it bite during that verification: the db healthcheck
pinged over the unix socket, and the entrypoint's init pass answers on the
socket while running the server with --skip-networking. The probe therefore
reported healthy DURING init, which is what `depends_on: service_healthy` gates
api and migrate on. A ping passed at 8 seconds and the next query failed because
the server was mid-restart. Probing 127.0.0.1 keeps it red until the real server

credential.

OBSERVED AND ASSIGNED STAY APART, and that is the point rather than a detail. A
collector report can never write an assignment row: _reconcile_edges is the only
function that writes usesprinter/defaultprinter, it has two call sites, and both
are authenticated routes a human calls. If a drifted bay's own state were allowed
to become what it is told to install, every configuration error would become
permanent the next time that PC checked in.

Seeding an assignment from observed state is explicit -
POST /assignments/seed-from-observed - because a rollout adopts many machines at
once. It routes through the same _reconcile_edges as the editor, so there is one
write path with two doors, and a queue matching no known printer is REFUSED
rather than guessed into an assignment. That last rule is the lesson from the
measuring tools: adopting on a weak key produced 43 duplicate instruments.

Two fixes on top of what the agents built. The replace deleted a host's previous
rows by exact case-folded name while the read path treats a short name and its
FQDN as one machine, so a PC that changed spelling appeared to hold every queue
twice - which reads as drift that is not there. And the client sent 'reportedat'
where the declared schema said 'observedat'.

Also here: the legacy loader now imports machines.printerid, the classic system's
record of each machine's default printer, which it silently dropped - the
production import would have lost every one. And Set-ShopdbPrinters.ps1 finally
registers the per-user logon task, staging Apply-ShopdbDefaultPrinter.ps1 to
C:\ProgramData first because the share it lives on is mounted only during the
enforcement cycle and the task runs at logon when it is gone.

VALIDATED ON WINDOWS 11 (build 26200), not just on Linux pwsh, which parses these
scripts happily and executes none of the spooler branches.

The reporter: posts a correct payload with the X-API-Key header; resolves BaseUrl
and CollectorKey from HKLM when given no arguments; suppresses the virtual queues
by port; resolves port addresses; and reads the CONSOLE USER's default out of
HKU rather than SYSTEM's own, which is a different and usually wrong answer.

Two results matter more than the rest. With the spooler stopped, both the cmdlet
and the CIM path fail and the script posts NOTHING - verified against a capture
server that recorded zero requests, where an empty list would instead have
erased that host's observed rows and read as a bay that lost its printers. A
genuinely empty host still posts [], because that is a real and different fact.

The logon task registers as the Users group at Limited, and falls back to the
well-known SID S-1-5-32-545 when the group name will not resolve, as it will not
on localised Windows. It was then run with the source directory RENAMED AWAY, to
stand in for the share being unmounted, and it still moved the user's default -
which is the whole reason the script is staged to C:\ProgramData rather than run
from where it lives.

The guarantees against damage were re-checked rather than assumed: an empty
assignment changes nothing, an unreachable server changes nothing, -WhatIfOnly
leaves no queue, no task, no staged file and no registry value behind, and a
drifted queue is repointed IN PLACE with Set-Printer so whoever has it as their
default keeps it.

Not covered by any of this: the driver-staging path, which needs a real vendor
package rather than the class drivers a VM ships with.

Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 9s

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
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.

A patch release. The pagination-cap fixes, and the documentation that missed the
0.11.0 installer by a few minutes.

docs/UPGRADE.md is one of the documents the Windows installer puts on the server,
and its buildings-and-levels section was committed after 0.11.0 was tagged. So
0.11.0 shipped the page an operator reads WHILE upgrading without the guidance
about that upgrade - which matters most on an air-gapped box, where there is no
other way to reach it. The installer now also ships FLOOR-MAP.md for the same
reason the Windows runbooks ship.

No application code changed on the server side and the plugin contract stays at
0.20.0.

The version and the changelog are the release; the detail is in the entry.

3324dbd91e Buildings and levels for the floor map, and make every identifier searchable
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 9s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 10s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
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.

Some checks failed

The export gate now carries the site patterns, and three kinds of file tripped
it - two legitimately, one by construction.

Two test files held real internal subnets as fixtures. They are documentation
ranges now, which test the same logic and disclose nothing.

The project-map generator and a changelog entry named a file that is excluded
from publication, so a public reader was pointed at something they cannot see.
Both now describe what happened without naming it.

And the naming script has to CONTAIN the site patterns in order to grep for
them, so written literally the rule's own definition fails the gate that
enforces it. The patterns are assembled from fragments, the same trick the docs
publishability test already uses for the same reason. Verified the hard way: a
planted literal is still caught, so the fragmentation did not quietly turn the
rule into one that matches nothing - which is the obvious way for this fix to
have gone wrong.

ad335cfc9e api: document the twenty-two routes that were serving traffic in silence
The inventory is hand-maintained, and should stay that way - its value is the
prose, and what an endpoint is FOR cannot be derived from the code. An audit of
all 372 documented operations found zero phantom routes and zero wrong parameter
names, so the maintenance is in good order.

What hand-maintenance cannot do is notice a route somebody added. Twenty-two
were undocumented: the entire backups plugin surface, every one of the dashboard
card endpoints added with contract 0.19.0, the GE-Enforce publish preflight, the
employee SSO resolver, the protocol update verbs, and the four /api/docs routes -
so the spec did not describe how to fetch the spec.

Coverage is now a test. It walks the live url_map and fails when a served route
has no entry, which means adding an endpoint includes describing it, in the same
commit, while the author still knows what it is for. The reverse direction is
checked too: a documented route that no longer exists sends a reader to a 404.

Writing that test found one more thing. The inventory writes multi-verb routes
as "PUT|PATCH", and neither the parity check nor the generator split on the pipe
- so those operations were absent from the published spec entirely, with nothing
reporting it. The spec now carries all 394 operations the code serves, which is
the first time the two numbers have matched.

The generator's own docstring claimed the inventory could be regenerated. It
cannot; nothing generates it. That sentence is why nobody noticed it was falling
behind.

36b0265668 openapi: emit a spec a machine can actually use
The generated spec carried no `parameters` and no `requestBody` on any of its
372 operations. That is invalid OpenAPI 3.1, and the practical cost was worse
than the formal one: the MCP server builds its tools from this file, so every
tool had an empty input schema and silently dropped whatever the caller passed.
A request for one asset returned the list, and nothing anywhere reported an
error. All 118 templated paths now declare their path parameters, typed from the
Flask converter that named them, and write verbs declare a JSON body.

The body is an open object carrying the prose description rather than an
invented schema. The inventory describes bodies in sentences, and a field list
this generator guessed at would be worse than none - but "an object, described
here" is the difference between a client that can send a body and one that
cannot send anything.

Security was wrong on 123 operations. `jwt-optional` means "works logged out,
returns more logged in", which OpenAPI expresses as the empty requirement
alongside the scheme; publishing them as bearer-required told every reader that
a public endpoint needs a token.

Responses were one hardcoded 200, so a generated client had no idea a call could
fail. Every operation now documents the error envelope - and the envelope itself
is a defined schema, because its error nests under `data.error` rather than at
the top level, which is the single thing people get wrong when writing against
this API.

95 summaries were cut at 120 characters mid-word, which is what a tool picker
shows a user as the whole description of a call. They now end on a word.

Tests pin the shape rather than the prose. One of them contradicted an older
test that REQUIRED the contract version as a literal in PLUGIN-HOOKS.md - the
same copying that left nine documents stale - so that test now asserts the doc
points at the generated map instead.

05be4c4489 docs: fix the examples that fail if you paste them
Six procedures that could not be followed as written.

Eighty-nine curl examples single-quoted `Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN`, so the
shell never expanded it and the server answered 422 "Not enough segments". Nine
more did the same with X-API-Key. The other 129 examples in the same file
already used double quotes, so this was drift rather than a convention, and the
spec regenerated from it carried the fault onward.

The GE-Enforce report example put a `//` comment inside a JSON body. The server
parses with silent=True, so it saw `{}` and answered "hostname is required"
about a body that plainly has one - the worst kind of error message, one that
sends the reader to the wrong field entirely.

The IIS install ran `flask db upgrade` and a per-plugin install loop but never
`flask plugin upgrade-all`, leaving every plugin's own chain unapplied. That is
precisely the 1054 "Unknown column" a deploy then hits somewhere else, days
later, on the page that uses the new column.

The pilot runbook looped `flask plugin enable` over plugins that were not yet
installed; enable refuses those, so on a fresh database it exited 1 on every
iteration and enabled nothing. ADR-013 had already recorded that defect.
`apply-profile` installs and enables in dependency order, which is what the step
was reaching for.

DEPLOY-WINDOWS-IIS named a profile file that does not exist; the shipped ones do.

And PLUGIN-EXTERNAL-REPO never mentioned PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS, while the
migration engine raises for any plugin missing from it - so the guide's own
step 5 fails for any external plugin that owns a table. That the registry lives
in the framework repo is deliberate, so the guide now says so, and says what it
costs: a table-owning external plugin is a two-repository change, and a plugin
that owns no tables avoids it entirely.

4995456136 docs: take one site's name, hosts and paths off the public wiki
The publishability gate caught internal tooling names and developer paths but
nothing site-specific, so roughly sixty leaks reached the wiki: the site name in
ten documents, real fleet hostnames in the collector and GE-Enforce examples, an
internal database name through the whole import guide, imaging-share paths, and
a maintainer's username as the Deciders line of every ADR and inside a generated
curl example.

None of it is a security matter on an air-gapped fleet. It matters because these
pages are read by engineers at other plants, and a document that names one site
throughout reads as that site's notes rather than a product's documentation -
which is exactly what it then gets treated as.

Examples now use neutral hostnames, the site is "the reference site" where the
distinction carries meaning, and ADRs are decided by "ShopDB maintainers". The
gate carries all of these patterns, so the next one fails a build.

Two documents leave docs/ because they were never written for an outside reader.
PROJECT-REVIEW.md is an internal health memo pinned to a commit from July, whose
headline finding (an untracked playbook) has since been fixed - it is history,
and git holds it. PILOT-DEPLOY.md is one site's own cutover runbook, complete
with a "re-measure before publishing" placeholder; it moves next to the loader
it belongs to, in scripts/site_imports/wjf/.

ADR-015 is AMENDED rather than rewritten. Its enforcement section still said
report-only and its backlog still listed hardcodes that are now cleared, which
left the record contradicting itself. The amendment says what changed and why
the report-only period ended; the original text stays, because what the decision
looked like when it was taken is the part worth keeping.

Also corrects llms.txt's response envelope, which had errors at the top level
and pagination at meta.total. Both are nested one deeper, so anything written
against that description read undefined on every error it tried to handle.

c648bdf560 labels: one module knows how to draw a code, seven views stop guessing
Three core pages and four plugin pages each imported qrcode and jsbarcode
directly, and each carried its own answer to the same questions: what margin,
what width, which error correction, how big a module must be before a scanner
can read it. The answers had already drifted - margin 0 in one place and 2 in
another, width 150 against 160 - and on a label that is the difference between
a sticker that scans and one that does not.

frontend/src/utils/codes.js owns it now: the label-stock presets, the quiet-zone
and margin defaults, CODE128 with no printed value, and the printer-resolution
arithmetic that only the Tech Tools generator had. A view passes what is
specific to its own label and nothing else - MachineBadge still asks for CODE39,
because the badge readers predate the shop-floor scanners and decode nothing
else, and that is exactly the kind of thing a call site should say out loud.

views/print/qrLogo.js is folded in rather than left as a second half-shared
helper that only some of the pages reached into.

The check script now fails a build that imports either library outside that
module. Without it this re-forks within a month: the next label page starts by
copying the nearest existing one, which is how it happened the first time.

Tests cover the part no amount of looking at a screen verifies - a QR that
looks fine at 96 dpi on a monitor can be unreadable at 203 dpi on half-inch
stock.

8f9805d964 Generate the facts that go stale, and record the fortnight in the changelog
CLAUDE.md is read at the start of every session and claimed contract 0.16.0 and
1159 tests while the code was at 0.18.0 and 1567, along with a plugin count and
a chain head that were both wrong. Hand-written facts about a moving codebase
are wrong within a fortnight, and a reader who cannot tell which lines are stale
has to re-derive all of them.

So they are derived. scripts/gen_project_map.py reads the versions, the plugin
inventory, every Alembic chain head, the ADR index with status and the size of
the codebase out of the code, and --check fails a build where the committed map
no longer matches. CLAUDE.md now points at it, leads with the multi-site rule,
and lists the gates to run instead of restating the conventions they enforce.

The changelog's Unreleased section covered 8 of the 46 commits since 0.9.0 and
had no Changed, Fixed or Security sections at all. It now carries the whole
fortnight, including both contract bumps - which had never been recorded even
though ADR-002 makes contract versions their own series.

035419fa51 ADR-015: stop shipping one site's values, and make the rule a gate
The scanner has been reporting the same count for weeks, which is what a rule
that only prints becomes. It now FAILS the build, and it looks where the leaks
actually were: PowerShell, the installer, the seeds, generated JSON, the
frontend - case-insensitively, across plugins, shopdb, scripts, deploy, tools.
A line that is deliberate declares itself with an ADR-015-OK marker and a
reason, so the claim is visible in review instead of tolerated in silence.

What it found, fixed here:

- The shadow client wrote one site's ShopDB URL into HKLM whenever the registry
  disagreed. At the site it was written for that reads as healing drift;
  anywhere else it overwrites the site's own address on every enforce cycle,
  and the site cannot win because the cycle repeats. The bay's value now wins,
  an explicit -BaseUrl seeds it, and with neither there is nothing honest to
  write, so it says so and skips.
- The kiosk dispatcher fell back to one plant's host when HKLM was unset, so a
  kiosk elsewhere quietly opened a server it has no business reaching. The
  fallback is now this site's site_base_url, baked in at seed time, and the
  dispatcher refuses rather than guessing when neither is set. Its legacy
  shortcut matcher derives the host from that URL instead of naming one.
- The OpenAPI generator hardcoded a production hostname into every spec it
  generated, which then published to a public wiki. The relative mount is the
  only server it can honestly name; a site passes its own by environment.
- Placeholders and examples in the UI and the client help offered real internal
  subnets and a real production URL. They now use documentation ranges.

Both publication gates - the export scrub and the docs publishability test -
carry the site patterns, which neither did. One plant's hostname, FQDN and
internal networks are out of the documentation and the generated specs.

Comments naming the reference site are reworded rather than deleted: the
reasoning is worth keeping, the plant name is not what makes it true.

ShopDB is a product several sites adopt, developed at one site against that
site's live fleet, so every feature arrives carrying West Jefferson's
hostnames, networks and share paths. A scan of plugins/ and shopdb/ returns 19
site literals, of which about 8 are a shipped default or a hardcode rather than
a comment: a kiosk URL baked into a PowerShell payload a sister site cannot
override, a WJ UNC path as the backup share default, and device.geaerospace.net
shipped as a SETTING DEFAULT - inherited silently by anyone who adopts.

The mechanisms already existed; the rule did not, so each value landed wherever
was convenient. The rule: a setting with a NEUTRAL default first, a
site-namespaced directory second, seed data third. Blank must be a working
state. Fleet-wide vocabulary such as the gea-shopfloor-* imaging types is not
site data and is out of scope - it already has a per-site override.

Enforced by an addition to check-naming-and-style.sh, which CI already runs, in
REPORT-ONLY mode. Making a 19-item backlog a hard gate the day it lands blocks
every unrelated commit until someone clears it; SITE_LITERALS_ENFORCE=1 turns
it into a gate once the listed hardcodes are done. The ADR carries that backlog,
including that the display FQDN domain is defined three times in three files.

Backups collected before markers became assets were filed against the operation
number the PC reported. The collector now files a marker PC's backup against
its marker, but only for backups collected since; everything already stored
stayed where it was, so the new marker assets read as empty while the operation
holds a mixed history.

The attribution is exact rather than a guess. A revision records the PC it was
read from, and the collector records which marker each PC drives, so the move
is that mapping applied. Revisions with no source hostname stay put, since
nothing says which marker they came from.

Moving a revision can duplicate one the collector has already written against
the marker, so the script collapses those as part of the move, keeping the
earliest so the date a config was first seen survives. Dry run by default.

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.

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).

`flask seed reference-data` wrote a dozen generic model types and no vendors or
models at all, so adopting this platform began by retyping a catalog another
site had already spent a year building. That is the largest single obstacle to
standing a new facility up.

scripts/export_catalog.py dumps the catalog from a live instance to
shopdb/data/catalog.json, and `flask seed catalog` loads it. What travels:

  vendors 53, models 128, modelsupplies 146, modeltypes 35, machinetypes 21,
  computertypes 10, printertypes 9, networkdevicetypes 5, locationtypes 11,
  operatingsystems 14, measuringtooltypes 8, notificationtypes 3,
  accessprotocols 3

The 146 printer supplies are the most useful part after the models themselves:
every toner, drum and maintenance kit with its part number, colour, capacity
tier and page yield, already matched to the right model, instead of somebody
reading them off spent cartridges.

IDEMPOTENT and ADDITIVE. Records match on a natural key - a vendor by name, a
model by vendor plus model number, a supply by model plus part number - so a
second run adds nothing, and it never updates or deletes: a site that corrected
a description or pointed a model at its own photo keeps its version.

Catalog only. No assets, locations, employees, business units or anything with a
serial number: nobody wants one plant's machines appearing at another. Vendor
contact details are excluded too, since a rep's name and number belong to
whoever holds that relationship. supportteams, printerdrivers and customfields
are site-specific and deliberately absent.

Models and supplies reference their vendor by NAME rather than id, because ids
differ between databases and an id-keyed catalog would silently attach part
numbers to the wrong printer.

The installer offers it as a tick-box on a new "Starter data" page, defaulting
to on, passing -SeedCatalog to stage 3. Offered rather than assumed: a site that
machines nothing does not want 21 machine types cluttering its dropdowns.

Verified by loading into an empty database and running twice: every group
populated on the first pass, "Catalog already present, nothing to add" on the
second.

Two unrelated things found while looking at blank printer types.

Selecting a filter while past page one returned an empty list. The filter asked
the server for page 5 of a result set that now had one page, and the screen said
nothing matched. useListQuery already resets the page - setSearch and setExtra
both do - but the filter dropdowns bypassed it and called the loader directly.
Nine list pages now route through applyFilter, which calls setPage(1) when it
needs to and loads directly when already on page one, so the composable's URL
watcher does not also fire and fetch twice.

scripts/retype_models.py addresses why printer types cannot be derived. The
catalog types every printer model "Printer": true, and useless, since it does not
say whether the product is a laser, a plotter or a label printer. That answer is
a property of the model - every VersaLink C405 is a laser MFP - but nothing
recorded it, so nothing could derive it. Recording it on the MODEL means the
existing backfill fills every printer by exact name match, and a printer added
later inherits the right type the moment its model is chosen.

It exports the models needing a decision to CSV with a type suggested from the
model number, a person corrects the column, and applying it is a dry run unless
given --commit. A suggested type is refused unless it already exists in that
asset class's own vocabulary, which is what keeps the later name match working.

The suggestion order matters and got this wrong first time: a generic plotter
pattern matched "Zebra ZT411" and filed a label printer as a plotter. Brands now
come before generic patterns, and the review step exists precisely because a
confident wrong guess would type every asset using that model.

Verified on the development database: 24 printer models need a decision, 22 got
a sensible suggestion, applying them let all 42 printers match a printertype by
name, and the transaction rolled back cleanly.

58b460fe3d Backfill an asset's type from its model, by exact name only
Correcting an earlier judgement. I said the model's type could not be used to
fill an asset's type, because modeltypes is the catalog-wide list covering every
kind of asset - it holds "Access Point", "Camera" and "Desktop PC" - and only
about two thirds of its names exist as machine types.

That is true across the whole catalog and misleading in practice. Restricted to
the models an asset class actually uses, the picture is different: all 262
machines in the development database map exactly, because the non-machine
entries are never used by machines. The blanks on the machines list are rows
whose type the database could already have supplied.

So the backfill now fills the type as well, under a rule that cannot mistype
anything: exact name match or nothing. A model type with no identically named
entry in the asset's own type table is reported with a count and left untouched,
so somebody can decide rather than have a guess written into their data. The
same shape covers computers, printers and network devices, each against its own
type table.

Verified against the development database by nulling one machine's type inside a
transaction: it was detected as fillable, the proposal read "LocationOnly" ->
"LocationOnly", the update restored exactly the original id, and the rollback
left the row unchanged.

Still a dry run unless given --commit, and a table missing the model column is
skipped, so it runs against a server whose network migration is not yet applied.

An asset that carries a model but no vendor was showing a blank the database
could already answer: the model records its vendor, and both sides reference the
same vendors table. Machines, PCs, printers and network devices now fall back to
it.

The fallback is FLAGGED, not merged silently. to_dict sets vendorfrommodel and
the detail pages render "(from model)" beside the value, because the record
itself is still empty: the edit form shows an empty vendor box, and a page
implying the vendor is stored would be lying about where it came from.

The model's type is exposed under its own name, modeltypename, and shown as a
separate "Model type" row. It is deliberately NOT used to fill in the asset's
own type. modeltypes is the catalog-wide list covering every kind of asset - it
holds "Access Point", "Camera" and "Desktop PC" alongside the machine entries -
so it is a different taxonomy from machinetypes. Only about two thirds of the
names overlap, and mapping one onto the other would mistype the remainder, with
the failure mode being a machine labelled "Desktop PC".

scripts/backfill_vendor_from_model.py writes the derived vendor down for real,
since the display fallback leaves reports that read vendorid still seeing
nothing. It is a dry run unless given --commit, fills only rows where the
asset's vendor is NULL and the model names one, and never overwrites a vendor
somebody chose. It skips a table lacking either column, so it runs against a
server whose network migration has not been applied yet.

Verified against the development database by nulling one machine's vendor inside
a transaction: it was detected as fillable, restored to exactly its original
value, and the rollback left the row untouched.

FLASK_ENV is not forced by the script. The app already reads it from .env, and
overriding it demanded a SECRET_KEY the environment had no reason to supply.

The Windows installer has never shipped under a version: v0.7.0 was tagged
before any of it existed, so every build handed out so far stamped a server with
0.7.0. Two servers running different builds were indistinguishable, and the
installer logged each upgrade as "same version already installed" rather than
recording what changed. This cuts the release that fixes that.

0.8.0 rather than a patch: the air-gapped installer is a new capability, and
pre-1.0 semantic versioning puts that in the minor slot (ADR-007).

CHANGELOG gains a 0.8.0 section covering the twelve defects a real Windows
Server 2019 install surfaced, the move from inferring "is this a re-run of my
install?" to recording it, and the operator documentation.

deploy/site-profile-universal.json is now in the repository. Released builds
were being produced from a profile in a temporary directory, so the next release
could not have been reproduced once that file was cleaned up.
docs/RELEASING-WINDOWS.md points at the committed profile and says why.

scripts/gen_openapi.py reads __version__ out of shopdb/__init__.py instead of
restating it. Its hardcoded copy had already drifted a release behind, which is
the same mistake that once shipped an installer stamped with the wrong version.

CLIENT IP / SPOOFABILITY. docs/geenforce-api-cutover.md claimed that removing the
IIS rewrite rule made the allowlist fail closed and that it does NOT become
spoofable. The opposite is true. IIS never sets X-Forwarded-For on its own; the
rule is the only thing that does. Remove it and IIS still forwards whatever
X-Forwarded-For the CALLER sent, waitress trusts it because it arrives from
127.0.0.1, and remote_addr becomes attacker-controlled - so a token-less caller
can fetch manifests from anywhere on the network. The document and the
_trusted_client_ip docstring now say so, waitress runs with
--trusted-proxy-count=1, and stage 5 checks the rule is actually live rather than
assuming it. The wizard question is rephrased to something an operator can verify
with their network team instead of guessing at.

NON-ASCII. The style gate only ever checked .py/.vue/.js/.ts, so documentation
accumulated em-dashes, arrows and box-drawing characters against this repo's own
convention - including in files added this week. Cleaned, and the gate now uses
INCLUDES_ALL so Markdown, JSON and YAML are covered.

PLUGIN DEFAULTS. The wizard pre-ticked measuringtools and printedparts, both of
which ship default_enabled=false, so every site taking the defaults installed and
enabled them against their manifests. Inno has no JSON parser so the list must be
hardcoded, but tests/test_installer_defaults.py now fails when it drifts.

UPGRADES. The payload copy merges, so a plugin dropped from a site's profile kept
its code forever - which defeats a lean build and leaves core's optional-import
guards succeeding for a plugin the site no longer has. Stale plugin directories
are now deregistered and removed before the copy.

add-plugin used 'plugin install', which for the five default_enabled=false
plugins left them installed but DISABLED - and printed a green success line
anyway. It now goes through apply-profile, and the success line is gated on the
exit code. Invoke-Flask records its own exit status, because $LASTEXITCODE keeps
a stale value when flask.exe is missing and no native command runs.

CHARSET. The utf8mb4 compiler hook lived inline in migrations/env.py, so it
covered the CORE chain only: plugin baselines inherited the server default, which
on a latin1 server means two charsets in one database. It is now
shopdb/utils/mysql_charset.py, imported by both, and preflight reports the
database's default charset.

BACKUP HONESTY. The dump was described as 'all of your asset data'. Uploaded
branding and floor-map images live in instance\ on disk, not in the database, so
a restore from the .sql alone comes back with no map. backup now archives
instance\ alongside it and says both are needed.

VERSIONING. AppVersion was hardcoded at 0.9.0 while the product, the frontend and
the newest tag said 0.7.0 - and 0.9.0 collides with a retired contract version.
Both builders now generate version.iss from shopdb/__init__.py.

Smaller: rollback overwrites .env before deleting it, as uninstall already did;
appcmd unlocks are scoped to this site's location rather than server-wide, with
the wide unlock as a fallback; DEVELOPMENT-SETUP says Python 3.14; the README
plugin list gains printedparts; prune-schema --force is documented as
first-provisioning-only; HTTPS is documented as not-the-default with the steps to
add it; the DBA SQL is on the wizard's database page; the features page says
unticking does not remove an installed feature; and the installer README states
that bundle-lock cannot vouch for the exe itself - that needs signing or an
out-of-band hash, neither of which is wired up.
