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.

Plugins were reaching into internal core paths (shopdb.core.models.*,
shopdb.extensions, shopdb.utils.*), coupling them to core's file layout and
violating the ADR-001 contract. Consolidate onto one versioned surface.
- shopdb.api: expand from 2 helpers to the full plugin import surface -
db, cache; BaseModel, AuditMixin; core models (Asset, AssetType,
AssetStatus, Vendor, Model, Communication, CommunicationType, Location,
Setting, AuditLog, Application, AppVersion, OperatingSystem); response +
pagination helpers; employee_connection. Documented in PLUGIN-HOOKS.md.
- Migrate all 22 plugin source files to import only from shopdb.api (plus
shopdb.plugins.base for the ABC).
- Drop the printers plugin's legacy MachineType dependency: remove
_ensure_legacy_machine_types and the seed_supplies machinetypeid lookup
(Model.machinetypeid is nullable; printers carry type via PrinterType).
- Guard test test_plugins_only_import_contract_surface scans plugin source
and fails on any core import outside shopdb.api / shopdb.plugins.base.
- Scaffold templates updated so generated plugins are contract-pure.
- Bump __contract_version__ 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0 (additive surface expansion;
manifests pin <1.0.0 so they still satisfy).
145 tests pass, naming/style green, app factory boots all 6 plugins.

Locks the public surface plugin authors at sister sites depend on.
Contract version (shopdb/__init__.py):
- __contract_version__ = '0.1.0'. Per ADR-002, plugins declare a
compatible range in manifest.json `core_version`. Pre-1.0 signals
the contract is still settling; sister sites should pin tightly.
BasePlugin hook changes (shopdb/plugins/base.py):
- Add get_collector_schema() per ADR-006. Returns JSON Schema (with
identityfield + fields) describing the payload of an external
collector pushing to /api/collector/<pluginname>. Defaults to None
(no auto-registered endpoint).
- Remove get_event_handlers(). Event bus deferred indefinitely per
ADR-001 (no real use case yet; add via new ADR if it appears).
Hook reference (docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md):
- Canonical reference for the contract: required hooks (meta,
get_blueprint, get_models), optional hooks (init_app,
get_cli_commands, get_services, get_dashboard_widgets,
get_navigation_items, get_searchable_fields, get_collector_schema),
lifecycle hooks (on_install, on_uninstall, on_enable, on_disable),
helpers exposed in shopdb.api (audit_log, Setting,
resolve_asset_position).
- Versioning rules + change-classification guidance.
Compliance tests (tests/test_plugin_contract.py):
- 8 distinct contract assertions parametrized over 6 bundled plugins
(computers, equipment, network, notifications, printers, usb).
- Asserts: subclasses BasePlugin; manifest has required fields; meta
returns valid PluginMeta; get_blueprint returns Blueprint or None;
get_models returns model classes; get_collector_schema returns
None or {identityfield, fields}; get_navigation_items and
get_searchable_fields return list.
- Plus 3 framework-level: __contract_version__ is valid semver,
get_event_handlers absent, get_collector_schema present.
Test count: 15 -> 66 passing.
