Architectural pass from the skill review ("plugin is the product" boundary).
Core no longer imports plugin models at module load (was a hard import-time
dependency that broke core if the computers plugin was absent/disabled):
- collector.py, applications.py, reports.py: lazy + guarded imports of the
computers plugin models. Endpoints that need install-tracking now return 503
when the plugin is absent instead of failing at import.
Search honors runtime enable/disable:
- search.py: _require_enabled(name) raises ImportError for a disabled plugin,
so each plugin-scoped block skips it (a disabled plugin's rows leave search).
- Replace hardcoded root/rootpassword employee-DB connection in _search_employees
with the shared env-backed employee_connection helper.
Plugin hooks (integrating-plugin-hooks: every hook needs a consumer):
- get_dashboard_widgets: add the consumer GET /api/dashboard/widgets (5 plugins
already implemented the hook; it had none). Skips disabled, isolates in prod.
- get_searchable_fields: REMOVED. Zero plugins implemented it and there was no
consumer; global search is a core concern over the asset model. Contract
reduction, __contract_version__ 0.3.0 -> 0.4.0.
Docs/contract: PLUGIN-HOOKS.md (widgets consumer note, searchable-fields removal,
0.4.0), PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md, ADR-001 hook list. Tests: widgets endpoint
aggregate + disabled-skip; contract tests for the removed/added hooks.
151 tests pass, naming/style green, app boots all 6 plugins.

Addresses findings from a 6-lens review against the project skills
(defining-asset-contract, enforcing-plugin-contract, hardening-flask-config,
integrating-plugin-hooks, pinning-flask-behavior, simplifying-python).
Security (hardening-flask-config):
- Load per-plugin COLLECTOR_API_KEY_<PLUGIN> from env in create_app. from_object
only copies class attributes, so per-plugin keys (ADR-006) were dead in real
deploys and silently fell back to the shared key.
- EMPLOYEE_DB_USER/PASSWORD no longer default to root/rootpassword (no safe
default for a secret; unset fails loud). Documented in .env.example + DEPLOY.md.
- COLLECTOR_API_KEY + per-plugin + EMPLOYEE_DB_* added to .env.example/DEPLOY.md.
Hook isolation (integrating-plugin-hooks):
- collector _collector_plugins and dashboard get_navigation now re-raise in
dev/test and log+isolate in prod, instead of silently swallowing a broken
plugin hook.
Plugin loader (enforcing-plugin-contract):
- enable_plugin/install_plugin read dependencies+version from the manifest
instead of instantiating the plugin class.
- _register_plugin_components rejects a second plugin claiming an already-used
api_prefix (reset per app in init_app).
Tests (pinning-flask-behavior):
- test_identifiers.py: gauge/maintenance round-trip on computer/printer/network
create+update; per-type seed yields the 12 identifier keys.
- contract tests for apply_collector_payload presence + schema-declarers-implement.
- security tests for per-plugin key env loading + no employee-db password default.
Docs/contract sync (defining-asset-contract):
- PLUGIN-HOOKS.md documents apply_collector_payload; stale 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0.
- ADR-006 documents apply_collector_payload + single-dispatch rationale.
- ADR-001 enumerates the expanded shopdb.api import surface.
Simplify (simplifying-python):
- De-duplicate the 21-entry settings defaults: shared build_default_settings()
used by both the /settings/seed route and the CLI (were drifting copies).
- Remove dead AssetStatus import + redundant AssetType local import in computers
plugin; comment the statusid=1 collector default.
153 tests pass (was 145), naming/style green.

Implements the plugin collector contract from ADR-006 so any plugin can
accept idempotent inventory ingest, not just PCs.
- base.py: add apply_collector_payload hook (companion to get_collector_schema),
raises NotImplementedError by default for plugins that declare a schema but
do not implement the upsert.
- collector.py: generic POST /api/collector/<plugin> dispatch with per-plugin
API key (COLLECTOR_API_KEY_<PLUGINNAME> with COLLECTOR_API_KEY fallback),
schema-driven identity validation, idempotent upsert, ADR-006 response
contract (status, action, assetid, identityvalue, warnings), audit log.
JWT-protected GET /api/collector/_schemas lists registered schemas. Legacy
/pc, /apps, /heartbeat, /bulk kept for back-compat.
- computers plugin: implements get_collector_schema (identityfield hostname)
and apply_collector_payload (create-or-update Asset+Computer, serialnumber,
loggedinuser, lastboottime, primary IP communication, installed apps).
- tests: 7 collector-contract tests (auth, 404, validation, create/idempotent
update, per-plugin key precedence, JWT schema listing).
A single dynamic dispatch route is used instead of per-plugin blueprint
registration, avoiding Flask's register-blueprint-after-first-request error.
144 tests pass, naming/style check green.
