c73b53f613 Make phase 3 a correctness fix, not a tidy-up
Phase 3 was written as "the collector reads a registry value". It is all three
components moving together: imaging writes DeviceId, GE-Enforce resolves device
identity registry-first, and the collector reads the registry ahead of the file.

The argument for it is already in the fleet's own code. Install-FromManifest
resolves TargetMachineNumbers gating from the eDNC registry BEFORE
machine-number.txt, and says why: the file is written ONCE by startnet.cmd at
the PXE menu and is not updated on reassignment, so it goes stale.

asset-id.txt inherits that defect exactly. Nothing rewrites it when a device is
swapped, moved between bays or replaced, and phase 1 put it at the TOP of the
resolution order - so a stale value is adopted with no warning, because it still
resolves. A file only imaging writes cannot be the top of a resolution order for
something that changes during a PC's life.

Also records the consequence: phase 3 needs a reassignment path the way
Set-MachineNumber exists for the bay number, or it moves the staleness from a
file into a registry value instead of curing it.

30834cd794 Say plainly that one registry value covers every device family
The phase 3 section named the key and left the scope to be inferred from the
fact that deviceid is one field. Spelling it out: DeviceId is a single value,
not a key per device type, and the pc-type decides which sync consumes it - so
CMM, Keyence, Genspect, wax-trace and part markers all read the same value, and
a family declared later through subordinatedevice_<pctype> is covered the day
it is declared.

Also records what the value REPLACES per family, which differs: for a CMM it
replaces cmmid.txt as identity only, for a part marker it replaces minting from
the hostname, and for the other three it replaces nothing because they never
had an identity at all.

89ab9706d2 Write down where device identity is going, in three phases
Phase 1 shipped without a plan around it, and the next two steps both touch a
different repository and the live boot image, so the reasoning needs to outlive
this week rather than being rediscovered from the code.

The finding that shapes the whole thing: cmmid.txt CANNOT simply be retired. It
is a PATH KEY, not just an identity - Verify-And-Heal-Staging stages
installers-post\cmm\backups\<cmmid>, 09-Setup-CMM locates the staged set by it,
and Restore-CMM restores from <BackupRoot>\<cmmid> as a same-bay operation. Only
one of its five consumers is an identity use. That one is also the one doing the
job badly, reporting a CMM's INSTRUMENT id in the machinenumber channel so the
server can resolve it back to a measuring tool at step 4 of its own fallback
chain.

So phase 2 has imaging write asset-id.txt ALONGSIDE cmmid.txt - two files, two
questions - and demotes the identity use while every path use stays exactly
where it is. cmmid.txt survives phase 3 too; it is not on any deletion list.

Phase 3 is the registry, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB\DeviceId. No new key and no
new read path: the collector already opens that key for BaseUrl and ApiToken and
Install-GEEnforce already writes it. The proposal argues for doing phase 3
BEFORE phase 2 rather than after, because then imaging writes the registry for
new bays and skips the file era entirely - the file survives only for bays
staged between phases, and the cleanup is deleting a branch instead of sweeping
a fleet.

Also recorded: the rail that must not be crossed (machinenumber is what
TargetMachineNumbers gates on, so a device id in that channel stops every
bay-gated entry from matching, silently, forever), what each phase does NOT
change, per-phase rollback, and a note that phase 1 stops new duplicates without
merging the ones a PC swap has already made - so the reconciliation backlog
should be read BEFORE imaging starts writing identities over the top of it.

68b86d459e One enrollment file names the device, for every bay without a registry
A bay with an NTLARS/eDNC MachineNo registry is identified by it, and a CMM by
cmmid.txt. Everything else - Keyence, Genspect, wax-trace, part markers, and
whatever a site declares next - had no stable identity at all, and the two
mechanisms that stood in for one both key off the PC: reuse looks for a prior
link from THIS PC asset, and minting builds `<PC number>-<SUFFIX>` where a PC's
number is its hostname.

Both survive a re-image. NEITHER survives a PC SWAP. A new hostname is a new PC
asset with no prior link and a predicted number that has never existed, so the
same physical device gets a second record while the first keeps its config and
its backup history under a dead PC's name. That is how 43 legacy MT-#### tools
ended up shadowed by minted twins, three records deep in places. The metrology
path learned this and gained an explicit id file; the part-marker path was
modelled on the metrology path as it stood BEFORE that fix, so it inherited the
defect - and its own docstring said so, describing minting "the same way it
already mints a CMM".

C:\Enrollment\asset-id.txt is now that identity for both, and for anything
declared later through subordinatedevice_<pctype>. It holds one line, the
device's assetnumber, and deliberately does NOT record what kind of device it
is: the pc-type already does, so a new device type needs no new file and no
client change. Resolution puts it first, ahead of everything PC-derived.

NOT machine-number.txt. machinenumber answers "which bay is this" and is what
GE-Enforce TargetMachineNumbers gates on, so naming a device there would
silently stop every bay-gated manifest entry from matching. A part marker still
files partof the operation from machinenumber; asset-id.txt changes which marker
the PC controls, not which operation that marker belongs to.

The wire field is `deviceid` rather than `assetid`, because assetid is already
this contract's RESPONSE field for a PC's integer primary key - the two would
have sat side by side meaning different things. measuringtoolid, shipped in
0.12.0, is accepted as an alias and the client still reads the older file, so a
bay staged in the last day keeps reporting; deviceid wins when both arrive.

Two guards, shared by both device families: a value that resolves to nothing
warns instead of minting a phantom, and a value that resolves to the WRONG KIND
of asset is refused with the asset named, so a machine number pasted into the
file cannot be filed under a device label the collector also owns.

Row creation is now one helper instead of a copy per path, because the named and
minted branches both need get-or-create on the extension row and the control
link.

1744 tests green, including a new file that pins the swap case both ways - with
the file one device, without it two. Five of its tests failed first time because
the fixtures built bare assets with no extension row and the type guard refused
them, which is the guard working.

VERIFIED ON WINDOWS 11 (build 26200), five cases: the new file alone; both files
present, new winning; the legacy file alone; neither, sending no field; and a
padded value with a trailing line.

21afa0b56e Let a metrology bay name the instrument it drives
The server has accepted `measuringtoolid` since the adoption work landed, and it
is the FIRST entry in the resolution order precisely because it is the identity
that survives a PC swap. Nothing ever sent it. The reporter read the eDNC
registry, cmmid.txt, machine-number.txt and pc-type.txt, and its own comment
said metrology bays have no per-bay id and therefore send nothing - so a Keyence
or Genspect bay fell through all four steps to minting, which the server's own
docstring calls the last resort.

Minting derives the asset number from the HOSTNAME, so a permanent instrument
inherits the identity of whichever PC drove it that week: replace the PC and
either the number lies or a second tool appears for the same physical unit. That
is how 43 legacy MT-#### tools ended up shadowed by minted twins. The half that
prevents it was built, tested and undeliverable.

The reporter now reads C:\Enrollment\measuringtool-id.txt and sends it when
present. Its own file, NOT machine-number.txt: machinenumber answers "which bay
is this" and is what GE-Enforce TargetMachineNumbers gates on, so naming a tool
there would silently stop every bay-gated manifest entry from matching.

The paste-ready reporter in COLLECTOR-INTEGRATION.md is a second implementation
of the same payload, so it gets the same resolver rather than being left to
drift. The field was also missing from the payload table and from the classic
api.asp mapping, and there was no prose anywhere describing how a tool is
resolved - added, including why minting is last and what the two guards refuse.

VERIFIED ON WINDOWS 11 (build 26200), four cases: a named instrument is read and
sent; no file sends no field and exits 0; a whitespace-only file behaves as
absent rather than sending an empty string; and a padded value with a second
line yields the first line trimmed.

Printers become a property of the bay, and the container stops throwing away the
site's own files every time it is updated.

Printer assignment is now end to end. The assignment belongs to the MACHINE and
reaches whichever PC controls it, so a reimaged or swapped bay comes back with
its printers and nothing had to be saved off the old box. One picker serves both
forms rather than two implementations of the same override. A relationship type
can declare itself singular, so setting a second default REPLACES the first
instead of silently losing to the older row. Alongside the assigned half there is
now an observed half: a bay reports what it actually has, kept strictly apart
from what it is told to have, because a drifted bay's own state becoming its
desired state would make every configuration error permanent. The client script
corrects a drifted queue in place rather than only installing a missing one, and
a driver rollout can be spread across waves so 300 bays do not pull 30 GB through
one five-minute window.

DOCKER SITES SHOULD READ THIS PARAGRAPH. The compose stack never persisted the
instance directory, so `docker compose build api && up -d api` - the update path
the docs themselves gave - discarded plugins.json and every upload with it. It is
a volume now, and DEPLOY.md carries the one-time rescue for a stack that predates
it. The image also could not be built at all: the frontend stage never copied the
plugin staging script its own prebuild hook runs, so every build since that
script landed failed. Air-gapped sites need a fresh offline bundle, because the
stack moves to MySQL 8.4 LTS and an existing tarball carries only the 8.0 image.

The Windows installer already bundled MySQL 8.4, so this closes a gap between the
two halves rather than moving anyone.

Adds a topology migration guide: IIS to Docker, Docker to a new host, and back.
The data moves cleanly; what costs time is that the server address is baked into
GE-Enforce manifests, the generated collector script, the printer client scripts
and printed QR codes.

1736 tests green. Contract stays at 0.20.0 - nothing under shopdb/api changed.

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
is listening.

a7f5d2d0bf Say how a site moves between stacks, in one place
The pieces existed across three pages and nothing connected them, so "can we go
from IIS to Docker" had no answer to point at. It is a fair question with a
short answer: the application keeps state in exactly two places, the database
and the instance directory, and nothing is encrypted at rest with SECRET_KEY or
JWT_SECRET_KEY, so a move is a dump plus a directory copy. The schema is
identical across topologies.

What the page spends its length on is the part that is NOT the data, because
that is where the time goes. The server address is baked into things that are
not the server: GE-Enforce manifests, the generated collector script, the
printer client scripts, and printed QR codes, which cannot be swept at all.
Keeping the hostname and repointing DNS makes the migration invisible to the
fleet; changing it does not.

Three other traps, each of which has a symptom that shows up later rather than
at cutover: an aliased IIS site needs MOUNT_PATH and a dist built for that
subpath, while the image builds for the root; an older dump can carry latin1 or
3-byte utf8 table definitions that load quietly into a utf8mb4 server and only
misbehave on the first accented name; and a restored instance directory needs
chown, because docker cp writes under the copying user's uid and the container
runs as shopdb.

Covers both directions plus Docker to a new Docker host, and ends with a cutover
checklist that leaves the old stack stopped rather than removed until a bay has
checked in on a working day.

Also fixes two links in START-HERE that pointed at files which are not there:
the ADR index needed its adr/ prefix, and LLM-GUIDE.md is llms.txt.

417f8a3dd4 Keep a site's own files when its container is replaced
`db_data` was a volume and the instance directory was not, so the documented
update path - `docker compose build api && up -d api` - recreated the container
and discarded everything the site had written. `plugins.json` is only the loud
part: maps, branding, model and application images, employee photos, warranty
proofs, slides, printed-part files and the Dell OAuth token all live under
instance_path too. MySQL rows survive and point at files that are gone, so the
second symptom is images 404ing rather than an error anybody sees.

Reported by an adopting site, which read it as having updated too fast. It had
not; nothing it could have done differently would have kept those files.

DEPLOY.md had been telling sites to back up `instance/` since it was written.
The template never gave them anything to back up.

The air-gap `migrate` service mounts the volume too, because
`flask plugin upgrade-all` rewrites plugins.json and that service exits
immediately after.

The image now creates instance/ ITSELF, owned by the app user. Docker seeds an
empty named volume from image content at the mountpoint, ownership included;
with no such directory in the image the mountpoint is created root-owned 0755
and the container, which runs as shopdb, cannot write into its own instance
directory. Caught by running the built image rather than by reading it: the
volume mounted clean and `touch` came back Permission denied. Verified fixed the
same way.

A stack that predates the volume needs its files moved across ONCE, while the
old container still exists - the volume is seeded from image content, and the
image ships instance/ empty, so it comes up empty rather than inheriting the old
container's writable layer. DEPLOY.md carries the procedure, including the chown
after `docker compose cp`, which writes files under the copying user's numeric
uid rather than the app user's.

Also here, found while checking what an upgrade actually runs: the connected
update steps ran `flask db upgrade` and stopped. Per-plugin Alembic chains
(ADR-008) are not part of that, so a connected site taking an image with a
bumped plugin migration ran the core chain and silently skipped every plugin
chain. The air-gap stack had it right all along. Both commands are in Step 9
now, plus a `db current` check against `db heads`.

ShopDB knew what a bay SHOULD have and nothing about what it DOES. Adding the
observed half makes a rollout a review instead of a typing exercise: the floor
reports itself in, you look, and you adopt.

The collection uses the mechanism that already exists rather than a new one.
POST /api/collector/printers dispatches to the printers plugin's
apply_collector_payload, the same ADR-006 hook the computers and backups plugins
implement. New client script, new plugin-owned table, no new transport and no new
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.

e2c45d33bc One printer picker for machines and PCs, and one default per asset
The assignment belongs to the MACHINE, and until now there was no way to set it
except the generic relationships card or the API - the form for the thing the
feature is about did not exist. MachineForm now carries the picker, and PCForm
uses the SAME component rather than its own copy: the PC's set overrides the
machine's, and two implementations of that would drift, with the two ends of an
override disagreeing being exactly the bug nobody would spot.

The shared picker also fixes what PCForm did on save. It wrote row at a time
through the generic relationship endpoints, which is a non-atomic reconcile: an
HTTP failure part way left a PC half-assigned with nothing recording what was
meant. It now calls the reconcile endpoint, which validates the default before
writing anything.

A relationship type can now say it allows one active row per asset
(relationshiptypes.issingular, migration 7d34), and defaultprinter says it.
Cardinality belongs to the type rather than the printers plugin: core's create
path is where every hand-made link passes, and the next type meaning "exactly
one" gets the rule for free. Setting a second default REPLACES the first instead
of refusing, because "make this the default" means that - and a card answering
409 would leave the user hunting for the old row.

Without it the schema was happy to hold two defaults: the unique constraint is
(source, target, type), so two different targets are two valid rows, and the
resolver takes the OLDEST - the new default silently lost. Proven by disabling
the new rule and watching the tests fail.

FOUND WHILE TESTING IN A BROWSER, and it was not mine: MachineForm read
.data.data off computersApi.listAll(), which resolves to the ARRAY - fetchAllPages
has already unwrapped every page. The whole parallel load threw into the catch,
so every dropdown on the machine edit form came up empty and the machine's own
values never loaded. A build cannot see this; only opening the page can.

GET /api/printers/assignments/for-asset/<id> returns an asset's OWN assignment,
without inheritance, because the editor must show what this asset's rows say -
otherwise a machine's printers appear ticked on the PC that inherits them and
unticking one silently creates an override.

The last of the buildings-and-levels bugs, and the shop-floor clients brought
into the product.

Anyone on 0.11.0 through 0.11.2 should take this. Every hover mini-map in the
product reported "this asset has a position but no level" - the levelid prop
added in 0.11.0 was passed by none of its seven call sites - and the map PDF
printed markers from every floor onto one sheet, which nobody can correct once it
is carried onto the floor. The legacy import loader, still to run against
production, created markers with no level at all.

The gate that should have caught all three asked whether a FILE mentions levelid
rather than whether each position does. It now checks per occurrence.

Also: printers can be assigned to a MACHINE and reach whichever PC controls it,
so a reimaged bay reinstalls its own printers with nothing saved off the old PC;
printerdrivers can name a vendor, so two rows cover 41 of 44 printers instead of
twenty-one near-duplicates; and the collector reporter and EventSaver now live in
the repository with no site baked into either, the reporter generated per site on
request.

The client scripts were validated on Windows 11 against a live ShopDB, not only
by the suite: a bay with no rows of its own created both queues from its
machine's assignment, bound them to the right universal drivers, and set the
per-user default.

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

0dc0ac13c8 Assign printers to a machine, and let the PC that drives it inherit them
Printers belong to the bay, not to the box currently driving it. The assignment
goes on the MACHINE asset and reaches whichever PC controls it, so a reimaged or
swapped PC comes back with the right printers and nothing had to be saved off the
old one. The asset register is the backup.

New relationship type usesprinter ("this printer is installed here"), beside the
existing defaultprinter ("which of them is the default"), both seeded and both
given a propagation rail through controls. The rails are consumed at READ time
only: the create-time fan-out skips directional through-types, and controls is
directional, so assigning a printer to a machine does not copy rows onto its PC.
That is what keeps own-beats-inherited possible.

Resolution for a PC is its OWN rows if it has any, otherwise one hop out along
controls to the machines it drives. Whole set at a time, not merged: a PC with
its own assignment is overriding the bay deliberately, and the UI has to say so
or a tech "fixing" a bay by editing the PC will shadow the machine's record and
wonder why they keep disagreeing.

GET /api/printers/for-host/<hostname> is what the convergence client asks every
cycle. Resolved by hostname because the collector upserts PCs by hostname and an
office PC has no machine number. An unknown host, a site without the computers
plugin, and nothing assigned all return an empty set - that is the client's
designed no-op and it must stay indistinguishable from "assigned nothing".

PUT /api/printers/assignments/for-asset/<id> reconciles the whole set in one
call. The endpoint was specified, documented and asserted by three tests, and
never written - the verification pass caught that, with four failures. It
validates the default BEFORE any write, so a rejected request changes nothing;
soft-deletes rows that went away; and REACTIVATES soft-deleted rows rather than
inserting, because the unique constraint spans inactive rows and a blind insert
after an unassign raises IntegrityError on MySQL while passing on SQLite.

One default per asset, enforced here because the schema cannot: the constraint is
(source, target, type), which accepts two different defaults quite happily. Two
active defaults are still reachable through the generic relationships endpoint,
where the oldest silently wins - recorded in the proposal as the next thing to
close.

printerdrivers gains drivername: the exact string the INF declares, which
Add-PrinterDriver matches on and nothing else. Deriving it by parsing INFs on
hundreds of bays is fragile; a human confirming it once is not.

A site adopting ShopDB had to be handed two files and told what to edit in them.
Both are now the product's, and one of them the server writes for you.

GET /api/computers/client-script (admin) returns Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1 with
this site's values already in it: site_base_url becomes the -ApiUrl default and
the new computers_routableranges setting becomes -AllowedRanges. Only the
PARAMETER DEFAULTS are substituted - the copy in plugins/computers/client/ stays
runnable, so there is no second version to drift from the first - and everything
stamped stays overridable by argument or registry, because a bay may need to
differ from its site. Settings > Computers > Asset reporter edits the ranges,
downloads the script and shows its SHA-256.

The collector key is deliberately not stamped in, and a test fails if it ever
is. That file lands on every shop-floor PC, and a token spread across hundreds
of bays cannot be rotated quietly; it stays in the registry, provisioned per
ADOPTING-AT-ANOTHER-SITE.md.

The routable ranges are the last thing that was hardcoded in that script. They
are now a setting, so West Jefferson's two CIDRs move out of source code and
into that site's own configuration - which is what ADR-015 asks for - and a site
that sets nothing still works, because the script falls back to the NIC carrying
the default route.

EventSaver joins it in plugins/slides/client/, source only: EventSaver.cs and
EventSaver.ini, no compiled .scr - a binary is a release asset, like the
installer exe. The share path that was compiled into Config.Folder is gone. It
used to be the fallback when the ini was missing, which silently pointed a new
site at the reference site's file server; it is now empty, and failing visibly
beats displaying another site's slides. Verified by compiling the edited source
in the Windows VM with the in-box csc.exe: 15,872 bytes, exit 0.

Also: the DSC example in the adoption guide gains a CollectorRanges resource and
stops passing -ApiUrl to a script that already reads BaseUrl from the registry
the same example writes, and the guide points at the generated download instead
of hand-editing a URL.

The contract test caught the endpoint importing shopdb directly for the version
string, which ADR-002 forbids a plugin from doing. The product and contract
versions are in app.config now, which a plugin reads through current_app.

Adds docs/proposals/printer-assignment.md: assign printers to a PC in ShopDB and
let the bay install them, with what the fleet data says about drivers - HP and
Xerox cover 41 of 44 printers with universal drivers, there are no Brother
printers at all despite 208 files of Brother inkjet drivers in the installer,
and printerdrivers holds one row pointing at a per-model folder instead of a
universal driver.

96f127f8c8 Bring the collector script into the repo, with no site in it
Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1 lived on one site's imaging share and was, per the
adoption guide, "provided on request" - which is not a distribution mechanism for
a product meant to be adopted. It now lives in plugins/computers/client/, beside
the collector contract it implements (ADR-006), so the two version together.

Three things named West Jefferson and no longer do (ADR-015):

- The server. It resolves from HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB BaseUrl - the value
  Install-GEEnforce.ps1 already writes and the enforcement client cannot run
  without - or from -ApiUrl. With neither it logs and exits 0 rather than
  posting somewhere wrong. Any bay running this script runs the enforcement
  client, so the value is present wherever it is deployed.
- The corporate VLANs. Two hardcoded CIDRs decided which NIC's address was
  reported, with a comment reading "update if site re-VLANs". A site may now
  name its ranges (-AllowedRanges, or a CollectorRanges registry value); with
  none configured the NIC carrying the DEFAULT ROUTE is used, which expresses
  "the routable NIC, not the controller NIC" without knowing any site's
  addressing.

VERIFIED IN THE WINDOWS VM, not by reading it - and the VM earned its keep. The
local array was called $allowedRanges, which is the SAME VARIABLE as the [string]
parameter $AllowedRanges because PowerShell names are case-insensitive; the array
was silently coerced to an empty string, and .Count on a scalar string is 1. The
script therefore believed a range was configured, skipped the default-route
fallback, and reported no IP at all. Linux pwsh parsed it happily. Renamed to
$rangeList, and the four paths were then confirmed on Windows: no config skips
cleanly, BaseUrl resolves from the registry, an unconfigured site picks the
default-route NIC, a configured range selects or excludes as asked.

Bug fixes for the buildings-and-levels work in 0.11.0, every one of them found by
using the feature rather than by the suite.

Anyone running 0.11.0 or 0.11.1 with more than one level should take this
release: the map drew markers from every level on whichever floor plan happened
to be showing, which is the failure ADR-017 exists to prevent, and it was in the
one component that draws the map. The viewer also had no way to choose a level,
and the editor never accepted a click at all - its handler was bound only if the
map was already a picker at mount, and the editor opens with nothing selected.

Also: a level's native size could not be set (the settings page had no height
field), the same search could return different rows because fourteen searchers
truncated without an ORDER BY, and both map pages carried a scrollbar from
subtracting the wrong page chrome from the viewport height.

No schema change, and the plugin contract stays at 0.20.0.

A patch release. The pagination-cap fixes, and the documentation that missed the

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.

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The 0.11.0 release changed what a map position means and six documents still
described the model it replaced. Each of these could have caused a real mistake
rather than being merely out of date:

- IMPORT-API mapped legacy mapleft/maptop to mapx/mapy with no mention of the
  level, so a scripted import - including the classic-ASP one still to run
  against production - would have produced markers the map shows as "level
  unknown". It now maps levelid too and says how to resolve the default level.
- API-REFERENCE enumerates the unauthenticated surface in full, because that is
  what a deploy reviewer reads, and the three public /api/maplevels reads were
  missing from it. Also records why the write split is asymmetric: repositioning
  needs assets.edit, creating a level needs admin, since a level's dimensions are
  the coordinate space every marker on it is expressed in.
- CONFIG still presented the four map_* settings as live, telling the reader to
  re-upload a blueprint in a settings page that no longer drives the map. They
  are marked superseded and kept for downgrade.
- UPGRADE gained a 0.11.0 section: nothing moves on screen, and replacing a
  blueprint with one of different dimensions moves every marker on that level, so
  recalibrate from landmarks rather than editing width and height.
- PLUGIN-HOOKS now states that a map overlay keys on assetid and must not return
  coordinates or a level - a second copy of a position is one that can disagree.

Adds FLOOR-MAP.md, the operator's page: loading a plan, placing markers, and
what to do when the plan changes, with the reasoning left in ADR-017. START-HERE
routes to it from the new-site path, and specifically as the page to read BEFORE
a floor plan changes.

Some checks failed

The floor map became a set of drawings instead of one picture, and search now
reaches what the forms have been collecting all along.

A site can hold more than one building and a building more than one level, and
every map position records which drawing its coordinates belong to. An existing
single-map site upgrades into one building and one default level carrying the
blueprint it already had, and nothing moves on screen. Landmark recalibration
moves a level's markers onto a redrawn plan, solved per axis from the landmarks
and never from the image dimensions, dry run by default, snapshotted before it
applies.

Two identifiers the UI collects were findable in almost no way and two plugins'
records in no way at all: gaugelabreference matched only measuring tools,
maintenancereference matched nothing anywhere, and USB devices and printed items
were absent from search entirely because neither is an asset. All four are
searchable now, from the global bar and from every list's own search box.

Contract 0.20.0 is additive: a plugin that writes a map position must write its
level with it.

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

CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
gaugelabreference and maintenancereference are collected on the form and shown
on the detail page for all five asset types, and no list's ?search= matched
either. Someone holding a physical tag could read it off the machine, type it
into the list they were already looking at, and get nothing back - while global
search, fixed in the previous commit, found it.

The clause is copy-pasted once per plugin, which is how all five came to omit
fields their own forms collect, so the test is one parametrized pass over all
five lists rather than five per-plugin tests that would drift the same way. It
also pins that widening the clause did not turn the box into a pass-through.

The api-inventory entries enumerate the fields each search matches, so all five
were stale the moment the queries changed; updated with the OpenAPI spec.

Not touched: the collector does not send either identifier, correctly - a
lab-assigned tag is not something an agent on a PC can discover. The legacy
import loader does not map them either, and the classic schema has no
gauge-named column to map from.

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.

A privilege-escalation fix in the Windows installer, the multi-site portability
work, and a documentation and API surface that a second site can rely on.

The installer created C:\shopdb-flask, C:\Python314 and C:\MySQL84 without
breaking inheritance from the drive root, whose default DACL grants
Authenticated Users an inherit-only Modify. Two files inside those roots are
executed by someone else - shopdb-admin.ps1 self-elevates, and instance
config.py is loaded unconditionally by the app - so any logged-on user could
replace either and wait. Verified fixed as SYSTEM in the Windows 11 VM against
the shipped functions.

Contract 0.19.0 is breaking: get_dashboard_widgets returns data and shape, not a
component name. The change itself shipped earlier without a bump, with the

96df19702e docs: one manual runbook, and ADR statuses that mean something
DEPLOY-WINDOWS-IIS was a second copy of the manual IIS procedure that had
diverged from the first: a different MySQL version (8.0, which reached end of
life in April), a different port, a different plugin list, and a profile file
that does not exist. Two runbooks for one procedure means a reader follows
whichever they found, and one of them was wrong. INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS covers
everything it did plus a preflight step and the subpath method, so the one
section it uniquely had - redeploying a hand-built server - is folded in there,
with the plugin-chain step it was missing and a note to back up first, and the
duplicate is gone. Everything that pointed at it now points at the survivor.

Three ADR statuses said something untrue.

ADR-013 said PROPOSED while half of it had shipped and ADR-014 had been accepted
on top of it. A decision that has been implemented and depended upon is not
proposed, and leaving one that way devalues every other status in the index. The
catalog half is still unbuilt, which is the ordinary state of an accepted
decision: accepted means settled, not delivered.

ADR-016 said ACCEPTED for a design where nothing is built - the endpoint and
permissions it describes do not exist, so a reader goes looking for them. The
status stands, because the decision does; the header now says so plainly and
points at where today's credentials actually live.

ADR-003 and ADR-004 were ACCEPTED with their own Decision lines still opening
"**PROPOSED:**", which reads as though the decision was never taken.

And the dashboard proposal carried Status: ACCEPTED, which belongs to a decision
record. A proposal is a proposal; the contract it produced is the ADR.

928a50c16e docs: what a site needs that no page answered
Four gaps a second site hits and cannot resolve by reading.

**Restoring on Windows** was one sentence - "the standard mysql < dump.sql" -
with no ordering. Restoring a database under running code that expects a
different schema turns a restore into a second incident, so the steps are now
ordered and each says why. It also says what `.env` costs if it is lost, which
is the part nobody discovers until they are already rebuilding: the dump does
not contain it, and without the JWT secrets every issued token dies, so every
collector and every GE-Enforce client on the fleet needs a new key.

**Rolling back** had a paragraph saying downgrades are refused and a backup is
the way back, but not the procedure. Rollback is restoring a matched pair, code
and the schema it expects, in that order - and the doc now separates it from the
case it gets confused with: a migration that failed mid-update has already been
rolled back by the installer, and fixing forward is the only move.

**Sizing, acquisition and support** were absent from the install guide entirely.
A reader could not learn how big a server to ask for, where the .exe comes from,
or where to raise a problem. The sizing is small and the reasons are stated, so
a site does not over-provision a VM for a load that is a few dozen users.

**Credentials** were described in three documents from three ends, so three
answers existed for where a key lives. One table, both ends - server and PC -
plus the two rules behind it: what a shop-floor PC holds is scoped to exactly
what it does, and a credential is delivered rather than typed, because a value
entered per machine is a value that is wrong on some machine.

62c5454f00 docs: a front door, and one page on how the pieces relate
The wiki had no entry point worth the name. Its Home page was hardcoded inside
the generator, had drifted into recommending INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS - the manual
procedure these same docs tell you not to follow for a new site, because it
produces a server the installer then refuses to upgrade - and the page carrying
that warning, llms.txt, was never published at all, because the generator copied
only .md files. The adoption guide had zero inbound links.

START-HERE routes by what a reader came to do: stand up a site, deploy the
shop-floor tools, write a plugin, integrate with the API, understand a decision,
or fix something. It is the shortest correct path per role, not an index - the
sidebar is already the index.

FLEET-ARCHITECTURE is the page nothing else could assume. The server, GE-Enforce,
the asset reporter, the backup collectors and EventSaver were each documented
alone, each assuming a reader who already knew the other four. It draws the
shape, states the rule that explains most of the behaviour - nothing on the
server reaches out to a PC, the fleet asks - and ends with the table that says
which of the five programs to open for a given symptom, since knowing that is
most of the diagnosis.

wikigen renders START-HERE as the landing page rather than a list maintained in
a second place, and publishes llms.txt as LLM-GUIDE.

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.

d1ba3a1a02 docs: stop typing versions the code already knows
Nine documents carried a hand-typed contract version and every one was stale.
One was load-bearing: PLUGIN-EXTERNAL-REPO.md told an external author to pin
">=0.13.0,<0.14.0" while the contract is at 0.19.0, so a plugin built by
following that guide is refused by the loader at startup. The plugin count was
wrong in six more.

They now point at docs/PROJECT-MAP.md, which is generated. A test enforces it:
no document may declare a version literal, a stated current version must match
the code, and a stated plugin count must match the tree. ADRs are exempt from
the current-version rule, because an ADR states the version a decision was taken
AT - that is a record of the past, and rewriting it would falsify the record
ADRs exist to keep.

CONTRACT-STABILITY.md was missing 0.17.0, 0.18.0 and 0.19.0 - including the only
BREAKING change in the series - in the one document a site reads to choose its
pin. All three are recorded, with 0.19.0 called out: it took something away, and
it shipped before it was written down, which is the argument for pinning tight
rather than trusting that a minor bump is safe.

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.

An ACCEPTED ADR ended with a stray tool-call fragment - it said nothing to a
reader and everything about how the document was produced, which is not what a
decision record is for. And the cutover playbook carried a real internal IP in a
file otherwise correctly scrubbed to documentation ranges. Both were published.

The publishability gate now catches all three shapes, so the next one fails a
build instead of reaching the wiki.

The adoption guide also told a site to copy two files that ship from nowhere:
the asset reporter and EventSaver are both on the reference site's imaging
share, not in this repository, and the guide never said so - it could not be
followed as written. It now states, per artifact, where each comes from, which
of them are pending a move into this repository, and that EventSaver can be
rebuilt from its one source file rather than taken on trust as a binary.

ce6d44e69f docs: EventSaver, and how GE-Enforce reaches a bay in the first place
EventSaver was undocumented anywhere a reader could find it. What it is, the two
source modes and why HTTP is the one to use, how order.txt and the ShopDB feed
each decide the running order, the three command-line switches Windows calls it
with, where it must NOT run (a screensaver over a live dashboard or a metrology
run is a defect), how to build it with the in-box compiler, and a table of
symptoms with the first thing to check.

The adoption guide also stopped short of the question it invites: the fleet
tools assume GE-Enforce is already on the PC, so how does GE-Enforce get there.
Both real paths are now written down - imaging time, which is how the shop-floor
pipeline does it, and Intune, which is how the display cohort is deployed today
because those PCs are Entra-joined with no share. Machine Configuration is
possible and unshipped, with the caveat that matters: DSC and GE-Enforce are
both convergence loops, so give each a layer to own rather than pointing them at
the same configuration.

b37c08eb5b docs: how another site points these tools at its own ShopDB
The asset reporter and EventSaver are both already built to be repointed - the
server URL, the API key and the targeting are parameters, an ini file and
manifest targeting, not code. Nothing said so, so the question "can another shop
use this" had no answer that did not involve reading PowerShell.

Worked examples for all three deployment paths, because sites have different
management planes and the choice is not ours to make: Intune (a remediation for
the reporter, a Win32 app for the screensaver, plus a Machine Configuration/DSC
form for estates already governed that way), a GE-Enforce manifest entry, and
manual installation for a pilot or a single bay.

The two traps are written down rather than left to be discovered. EventSaver
falls back to a path compiled into the binary when its ini is missing, and that
path belongs to the reference site - a missing ini is not a neutral default. And
a config enforced by hash reverts a hand edit on the next cycle, which is the
feature working correctly and reads exactly like a bug.

Also notes the reporter's -ApiUrl default still points at the reference site, so
every example passes it explicitly until that is fixed.

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.

c7dffce81e Serve an uploaded file as data, not as a document that can run
An SVG is an XML document that may carry a script, and it is an accepted image
type because floor-plan maps and branding genuinely want vector. Loaded through
an img tag that script never runs, so the tiles and maps were never the risk.
Opening the file's own URL is - and the application image route is public, so
that URL needs no session.

Every route that serves an upload now goes through one helper that sends
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'none'; sandbox, and nosniff. Seven routes
across core and five plugins, so a new one added later starts from the same
place rather than repeating the reasoning. Banning the format instead would
have cost the maps their only sensible one.

The app also sent no security headers at all. It now sets nosniff,
frame-ancestors self (as X-Frame-Options too, for the display bays' browsers)
and a referrer policy. Deliberately NOT a page-wide CSP: this serves an SPA with
inline styles, so a real script-src policy is a change worth making with the
frontend in front of you, and a permissive header claiming one would be worse
than having none.

Contract 0.19.0. send_upload is on the shopdb.api surface, because a plugin
serving user-supplied bytes should not have to remember these headers. The same
bump records that get_dashboard_widgets has taken data and shape rather than a
component name since the dashboard was rebuilt - that shipped without a bump,
while BasePlugin and PLUGIN-HOOKS.md both still documented the shape nothing
renders, which is how five plugins came to declare widgets pointing at
components nobody had written.

4bded210e4 geenforce: the backup hover names both dates, because they mean different things
"Checked 13 Aug 1:20 PM. Verified the backup taken 12 Aug 5:20 PM is still
current." Two facts, and one date could not carry both.

lastseenat moves on every successful confirmation and proves the check is still
running. collectedat moves only when the configuration actually CHANGED and says
what is stored. Showing lastseenat alone hid what is in the backup; showing
collectedat alone read as "last backup was a month ago" on a machine that is
perfectly healthy, because a stable config writes no new revision. The hover now
states the check and the capture separately and says outright that the second
being older is the normal case.

The stale wording gets the same treatment: it names the check that stopped AND
the newest copy that exists, which is the thing someone recovering from it
actually needs.

collectedat is exposed as backupcollectedat. Both stay tooltip-only - the badge
is still just the kind and a colour, so nothing here changes what a new backup
kind has to do to inherit it.

1d7191c2d3 geenforce: the fleet table links where it says, and judges backups instead of dating them
Two fixes to the same table, in the same regions of the same files.

ASSET LINK POINTED AT THE WRONG RECORD. The Asset chip linked
/machines/<assetid>, but /machines/:id keys on machineid - the plugin extension
id - as MachineDetail itself does everywhere. So the link landed on whichever
machine happened to carry that number: a wrong page that looks right, which is
worse than a 404. Same for /measuringtools/. The API now returns
machinepluginid / toolpluginid beside the asset ids and the view links on those.
Both lookups are import-guarded, and with no plugin id the number renders as
plain text rather than a link that misleads. AssetRelationships already resolved
this correctly; this brings the reports table in line.

BACKUP COLUMN READ AS NEGLECT. It showed a raw date, and a revision is only
written when the config CHANGES - dedup means a machine stable for months has a
months-old newest revision and is perfectly healthy. The column already used
lastseenat, the last time the collector CONFIRMED the config, but a bare
timestamp says "nothing has happened since", which at the default 24h collection
interval IS the healthy steady state. It made a working system look stalled and
made the reader do arithmetic against a setting they would have to go and find.

It now returns backupok and shows a badge naming the kind, green when confirmed
recently, red when not, with the date and an explanation in the hover. backupok
is tri-state on purpose: null means no revision at all, and renders as NO badge
rather than a green one, because "never seen" must not read as healthy. The
threshold is the backups plugin's own backups_staledays, read through its
service so there is one definition of stale rather than a second drifting here.

Nothing in the badge is kind-specific, so a backup kind added later inherits it
by existing. docs/BACKUP-KINDS.md records that, the BackupKind contract, and why
the rule is time-based rather than per-kind.

3d83806135 Make the toner forecast an order, not a table
The report answers a purchasing question, and it was answering it in seven
columns, two tables and a rowspan. What someone actually needs from it is a
short list of what to buy.

So it opens with that list, grouped by part number with a quantity. Two
cartridges of the same part in different printers is a quantity of two, which
is the number an order needs and the one a per-printer table made the reader
count by hand. It covers what is empty plus what goes within a fortnight -
ordering only what is already empty means running empty. There is a copy
button, because it ends up pasted into a mail.

Below it the cartridges sit in urgency bands rather than in one long list
sorted by a number. The question is which pile a thing is in, and a pile that
is empty is worth seeing as empty. Everything past "empty" starts collapsed;
the order list above already covers the same ground in a tenth of the height.

The row is a cartridge now, not a printer, so it can carry its own part number,
its own level bar and its own countdown. Nesting supplies under a printer meant
opening a printer to find out whether anything on it needed doing.

Cartridges with no part mapped are counted on a single line rather than given
one each. They cannot be dropped, since that would quietly shorten the order,
and they cannot be ordered from here either - the job they represent is
mapping them, which is one job however many there are.

Bands and the order horizon are decided server-side, next to the arithmetic
that produces them, so a heading cannot disagree with what got added to the
list.

Checked against a fleet of 43 dev printers with real part mappings, driven by
a stub Zabbix - live Zabbix is not reachable from the dev box.

6cdbea449a geenforce: ship shadow mode through the share, and correct the cutover doc
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 7s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The cheap cutover the doc described - manifest over API, payloads still on the
share - does not work. Measured on the win11 VM against lib 2.6 with the same
manifest and engine, varying only InstallerRoot: the payload cache gives
0 installed / 2 failed ("CMD/BAT not found" under the cache), the scope
directory gives 2 installed / 0 failed.

Two causes. Invoke-ShopdbEnforce.ps1 takes no -InstallerRoot and hardcodes the
payload cache outside shadow mode, which is right for displays where every
entry is inline and wrong for every smb entry. And -IncludeCommon cannot work
for smb payloads at all: they live under their own scope directory, so a merged
manifest needs two roots where the engine takes one, and Join-InstallerPath
rejects rooted values by design so absolute paths are not a way out. The real
dispatcher never merges - it calls the engine once per scope with that scope's
root - and a fix should follow that shape.

Both claims are corrected in the doc rather than deleted, because reading it
was what made this look like a twenty-minute job; it would have failed 29 of 31
entries on the pilot bay.

Shadow mode is unaffected - it points InstallerRoot at the share scope dir,
which is the working path - so the pilot proceeds. Register-ShopdbShadow.ps1
is the reference copy of the script that puts a share-attached bay into shadow:
it writes BaseUrl, then registers the task as SYSTEM. It derives the share
manifest from $PSScriptRoot rather than hardcoding a drive, because GE-Enforce
mounts the share to a letter it picks at run time and SYSTEM has no standing
UNC access. Delivered as a manifest entry gated to one hostname, so the pilot
needs no hands on the bay and heals if it drifts.

20a95013ad contract 0.18.0: one name per display role, the kiosk's own
Core called the roles dashboard / lobby / partskiosk. The kiosks call them
Dashboard / Lobby / 3DPrintRoom, which are the literal contents of
C:\Enrollment\display-type.txt, read by the GE-Enforce dispatcher to pick a
target. Two vocabularies for three kiosks, each with its own copy of the same
route map.

That is not cosmetic. A display reporting its own type sends what its file
says, so it could report a role core would not accept, and core could store
'partskiosk', a value no dispatcher would ever match. The enforcement report
column would have shown one vocabulary from the device and the other from the
DashboardDefault fallback, in the same column.

The machine's file wins, because that is what a person edits. DISPLAY_ROLE_PATHS
takes the kiosk spelling and the display scope now uses that dict rather than
holding a second one, so the two cannot drift again. normalize_display_role
resolves any casing and the retired 'partskiosk' forward; the dispatcher already
matched its map case-insensitively and the server now agrees with it.

Nothing is turned away over a capital: the API accepts any spelling and stores
the canonical one, displaypath resolves through the normalizer so rows written
before this keep working, and the settings dropdown canonicalises on open so an
old value does not render as a blank select.

A reported subtype is normalised on the way in, but an UNRECOGNISED one is kept
verbatim. That is a kiosk with a typo in its file or a role nobody declared, and
both are worth seeing in the fleet table rather than blanked or guessed at.

Contract bumped for the added names. DashboardDefault is finally listed in
__all__ too - 0.17.0 put it on the surface and never exported it.

The enforcement reports needed to name what a display IS, and reached
straight into shopdb.core.models.dashboarddefault to do it. Plugins may
only touch core through shopdb.api, and the contract test said so.

The role belongs on the surface rather than behind it: it lives in core,
no plugin owns it, and a plugin reporting on displays has no other way to
resolve it. Added there and the version bumped, which the docs test pins.

anyone integrating against the API even though it answers requests.

The auth notes matter more than the paths. API-REFERENCE tells a deployment
reviewer that essentially every GET is optional-auth; two of these are not, and
an exception buried in a table of 372 operations is one nobody reads. The
installer download and the warranty proof are called out with why: one is
licensed vendor software, the other carries pricing and a service tag. The
application image is listed with the fully public endpoints, since tiles render

8b50e6fe2a geenforce: first dashboard card, and the widget contract it proves
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 8s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Wave one of the dashboard proposal, built as a vertical slice so the contract
is proven by something real before the other five cards follow.

GET /api/geenforce/dashboard/failures lists entries that FAILED on their PC's
most recent enforcement cycle. Per ENTRY, not per report: "three PCs failed" is
a number, while "Install OpenText failed with exit 1603 on WJSF1234" is
something a person can act on. Only current reports count, so a failure that
has since been fixed clears itself instead of needing dismissing. Hostnames
resolve to computerids in one query so each row links to the PC, and a PC
shopdb does not know still appears - the failure is real even when the
inventory is behind, and that is the bay most likely to be misconfigured.

The data has been there all along. The only way to see any of it was to open
one PC's report modal, one PC at a time.

The widget declaration is the contract change. The old shape named a Vue
component per widget, which cannot survive a lean build where a plugin's
component may never be staged into the bundle - which is exactly why five
plugins declare widgets pointing at components nobody ever wrote. This declares
data, a generic renderer, a permission and a link template, the way ADR-010
already does for asset panels. A test asserts no 'component' key, so the old
shape cannot creep back.

empty: hide is part of the contract, not decoration. A card reporting "nothing
wrong" daily teaches people to stop reading the page, which is how a fleet log
reached 3,234 lines with 17 that mattered.

Frontend rendering comes next; the endpoint and declaration stand alone and
change nothing that exists.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The dashboard reports totals that are true every day and actionable on none of
them. Meanwhile a bay returned 500 to every collector report for a day and a
half, eleven markers' backups overwrote each other for weeks, and GE-Enforce
records failures, stale manifests and repeated self-heals that surface nowhere.
Every one of those was found by someone going to look.

Two things found while writing this shaped it. The plugin mechanism already
exists - get_dashboard_widgets, an endpoint that aggregates across enabled
plugins and isolates failures, and five plugins declaring widgets. And nothing
consumes it: the frontend never calls the endpoint and not one of the declared
components was ever written. So this finishes a half-built feature rather than
starting one.

It also proposes fixing the contract while it is still unused. Naming a
component per widget does not survive a lean build, where a plugin's component
may not be staged into the bundle at all. ADR-010 already solved this for asset
panels - declare data and a render mode, let a generic core component draw it -
and the same three renderers cover every card listed.

The rest is principles that came out of this week: empty cards shrink, because a
card that says "nothing wrong" daily trains people to stop reading, which is how
a log reached 3,234 lines with 17 that mattered; every row links to the thing;
cards declare a permission so the dashboard cannot become a way around RBAC;
thresholds are settings with neutral defaults.

Wave one is six cards whose data is already reliable. Wave two is the valuable
one: diffing what a manifest says a PC should have against what it reports
having, which nothing answers today and which is what GE-Enforce exists to
guarantee.

Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 7s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The MECHANISM was already a documented platform contract - ADR-001 defines
partof as composition, makes controls propagate through it, and walks it first
for map-position inheritance. The part-marker work used that rail rather than
inventing one.

What was undocumented is the PATTERN built on it: several devices answering to
one identifier, each becoming its own asset filed under a parent. It existed
only as a collector behaviour for part markers plus a docstring in the device
map, so nothing told anyone how to apply it to another device type, or when not
to.

ASSET-COMPOSITION.md covers when to reach for it and when the shared identifier
is a numbering fault instead, what propagation buys, how to declare a device
type through the map or a per-site setting, what a backup kind must do to
follow the device rather than the parent, how to find the next case with
check-shared-machines, and why the parent is not disposable once devices hang
off it - deactivating it breaks filing, and a hard delete cascades through
backuprevisions.

91143d94fb ADR-016: credential delivery to the fleet
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 8s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Controller and share credentials are currently edited as cleartext into a
script on the SFLD share, one value for the whole fleet, re-applied by
GE-Enforce every cycle. Rotating means editing that file and hoping - nothing
reports which bays picked the new value up - and sites need per-bay variation,
which a manifest scope cannot express because scopes are per PC TYPE. A scope
per bay is a spreadsheet, not a model.

ShopDB therefore owns the definitions and the targeting, and a PC receives a
decided answer rather than rules to evaluate. Targeting uses the axes
GE-Enforce already filters on plus those the asset model knows: hostname
(including -like globs), machine, model, controller OS, PC type with alias
expansion, GE-Enforce profile, and a selector over the stored DNC projection -
"every machine whose DataHost is that share" is answerable from data already
held, and it also answers which machines need a credential at all.

Overlapping matches are guaranteed rather than exceptional, so precedence is
explicit: an integer priority, then scope specificity, then rule id for
stability. The resolver must be able to explain which rule won and why, or
nobody will trust it. It reuses plugins/geenforce/filters.py; there are already
two implementations of this matching logic kept honest by a parity harness, and
a third would drift silently.

Targeting stays separate from detection, mirroring PCTypes versus
DetectionMethod: who gets a credential is a server question, whether it is
already applied is a local one, and conflating them rewrites the secret every
cycle instead of healing drift.

Stored Fernet-encrypted with the key OUTSIDE the database, write-only through
the API and masked on read, fetched with a dedicated credentials.fetch scope so
a leaked collector key does not yield controller passwords, and every fetch
audited.

PROPOSED, not accepted: it makes ShopDB a credential store, and the key becomes
a single point of loss - restore the database without it and every credential
is unrecoverable, which docs/BACKUP-RESTORE.md must state in the same change
that implements this. Registry-only provisioning is recommended as a first step
regardless, since it removes the cleartext from the share immediately and the
client helper is identical either way.

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.
