Rename Metrics to Monitors and move it second
"Metrics" promised numbers. The tab holds tracked services, tracked processes and network interfaces - things being WATCHED and their current state, only one of which is a measurement. Monitors is what the panels actually are, and it matches the word the agent's own config already uses for them. Moved to second, ahead of Software. What is being watched on this box is the question asked right after "what is it", and well before its application inventory - which is reference data somebody goes looking for deliberately. Tab order is now Details, Monitors, Software, Activity. Contract 0.29.0 keeps its number. It is unreleased, so the group vocabulary it introduces is still being settled and nothing can yet depend on the old name. Both the server and the client fall back to 'details' for a group they do not recognise, so a site that deploys these halves out of step gets a misplaced card rather than a missing one.

Fix four things found by looking at the tabbed page
SOFTWARE OPENED COLLAPSED. The installed-software panel was collapsible and started that way, because it used to be low-priority reference data near the bottom of one long page. It is now the Software tab's whole reason to exist, and somebody who clicked that tab has already said what they came for. Made it neither collapsible nor collapsed. TRACKED SERVICES VANISHED FROM METRICS. The group is decided by the SERVER, so a new frontend against a server still serving the old vocabulary puts a panel in a group the build does not render, and it is fetched, held, and shown nowhere - with nothing logged. Moving services out of 'actions' is exactly that shape. The client now falls back to 'details' for any group it does not render, the same way the server does, so a version-skewed pair degrades to a misplaced card instead of a missing one. A TABLE PANEL WITH NOTHING IN IT HID ITSELF. panelVisible honoured `empty` for list panels and ignored it for tables, for no reason anybody wrote down. A declared empty message is an answer - "No installed software reported." - where an absent card is a question. It matters more now that a panel can be the only thing in a tab, because the tab disappears with it. THE TAB STRIP HAD A VERTICAL SCROLLBAR. Per the overflow spec, when one axis is not `visible` the other computes from `visible` to `auto`, so `overflow-x: auto` alone made the strip scrollable vertically too and the -1px margin the tabs use to sit on the border was enough to trip it. Also moved .detail-full into the global stylesheet next to .content-grid, per frontend/CLAUDE.md: it is detail-page layout, and the other four detail pages need it when they adopt tabs.

Drop the Actions tab, and give wide panels the width instead of a scrollbar
Four changes from looking at the built page. ACTIONS HELD ONE CARD. Tracked services was the only thing in it, and it was the wrong split anyway: a service row reads as state first and a Start/Stop second, so separating the buttons from the state they act on made a tab that answered no question on its own. Services move to Metrics, beside the rest of what the endpoint reports, and the group is gone from the contract. WIDE PANELS SPAN, THEY DO NOT SCROLL. Network interfaces carries adapter, address, MAC, speed and state; at half page width in the two-column flow it either squeezed every cell to three lines or offered a horizontal scrollbar. A scrollbar for data that just needs room is a layout failure. Table panels now take column-span, which is the multi-column layout's own answer, so short fact cards stay two-up around them. The wrapper keeps overflow-x only as a floor for a genuinely narrow viewport. SOFTWARE AND ACTIVITY RUN FULL WIDTH. Both are single long lists, and a list split into two balanced columns reads as two unrelated lists with no way to tell where the first ended. Details and Metrics keep the two-column flow because they are short cards, which is what that flow is good at. Contract 0.29.0 keeps its number: it is unreleased, and the group vocabulary it introduces has simply lost one value before anybody could depend on it. Scope: product |

Tab the PC detail page, and let a panel say which tab it belongs to
The page had grown to roughly ten cards in one flow, and three more surfaces were wanted on it: installed software, live metrics, and the service controls. Stacking those into the same column would have buried what the page is for. Tabs were mocked and rejected on 2026-08-28, on the grounds that the strip duplicated the sidebar and cost hero space. That objection is answered by where the strip sits: the hero and the triage band stay above it and never move, so "is this machine OK" is still answered without a click, and the strip partitions the detail underneath rather than navigating anywhere. WHY A PANEL DECLARES ITS OWN GROUP Most cards on a detail page are not the page's. They arrive through the ADR-010 get_asset_panels hook, so a page that sorted panels into tabs by knowing their ids would defeat the hook it is built on. Panels now carry an optional group instead, and the page only knows the five group names. Resolution happens server-side, in the asset-panels route, so that an absent or misspelled group becomes 'details' before the client ever sees it. The client renders known groups only; an unrecognised value that survived to it would be a panel that exists and is displayed nowhere. Contract 0.28.0 -> 0.29.0, additive - every existing plugin keeps working untouched, and the endpoints status panel is deliberately left ungrouped so the default path is exercised by a shipped plugin and not only by tests. A tab is offered only when something fills it. An empty tab reads as broken rather than as "this site does not collect that", so the strip is built from the groups that actually returned data, and a tab that disappears on refetch falls back to Details rather than leaving the page blank. AssetDetailTabs is core, not a PCDetail component: machines, printers, network devices and measuring tools all have the same shape, and the shared asset-detail shell they need starts here.

Decide guest grants explicitly instead of by permission name
guest_grantable_permissions() opened any permission whose name ended
'.view' or '.read' to the guest role, on the reasoning that reading is
the safe default. That is true of a permission gating a list of asset
numbers and false of one gating bytes, and a suffix cannot tell them
apart. Twenty-four of eighty-five qualified and none had been decided:
applications.view reached the SYSTEM-context PowerShell bodies and
the installer binaries pushed to bays
backups.view returned the full payload that the separate
backups.download permission exists to protect
assets.view gated a global search that queries the staff
directory, USB history and network inventory with
no per-domain check of its own
audit.view usernames, addresses, the before/after of every
settings.view change, and every setting row - both admin
category, opened by naming alone
users.view gates nothing at all; list_users is
require_role('admin')
Every entry is now declared, by CORE_GUEST_GRANTABLE or by the plugin
that owns the permission, having read what its routes actually return.
Adding one is a code change, which is the point: it puts the decision
in a diff rather than in a suffix.
The two routes serving script bodies and installer packages move to a
new applications.download permission, which is not grantable, so a site
can still open the catalogue metadata to its floor without the bytes
going with it.
The declared set preserves the grants this site had already chosen:
applications.view, computers.view, endpoints.view, reports.view,
tools.secrets, warranty.view.
Two known gaps are recorded on the hooks that expose them rather than
silently carried: the computer serializer publishes every column plus
resolved rdp:// and vnc:// links, and the per-asset endpoint panels are
keyed on a small integer so walking ids reconstructs much of the roster
that endpoints.fleet exists to protect. Neither is widened here.
A shipped test was granting guests audit.view and passing.

Clear the review blockers on the merged wilm work
A multi-agent review of the merged branch produced 29 findings that survived
adversarial verification. This clears the blockers and the four worth fixing
before it reaches main. The design held up well: path-traversal defence on all
four serving routes is clean, the agent's SHA-256 check fails closed, enqueue
authority is proportionate and audited, and no site literals or credential leaks
in the new C#.
THE TESTS NEVER RAN
pytest.ini sets testpaths = tests, so plugins/endpoints/tests/ was collected ZERO
times. Fifty-five lines of delivery assertions were dead code, and run directly
five of them failed. plugins/printedparts/tests/ had been invisible for longer.
That is the worst shape a gap can take: the suite is green, the coverage is
imaginary, and the collector auth on a download route could be deleted without
anything going red.
Both files moved under tests/. tests/test_no_hidden_tests.py now fails if a test
file appears anywhere pytest will not look; it caught a staged copy inside the
installer bundle on its first run, and was verified by planting a violation.
The five failures were stale expectations, and they split by cause. His: the
applications panel made six panels where his test said five, and 'applications'
belongs in KNOWN_PAYLOAD_KEYS now that it is persisted - his own test contradicted
his own feature. Ours: we renamed the events card to activity, moved the
fleet-wide cards to endpoints.fleet, and made the list route a bare route('')
which Flask rejects unless the blueprint is mounted under a prefix.
FOUR FIXES
The snapshot table's key was a 32-bit autoincrement on a table rewritten
wholesale every check-in, so it climbs at (endpoints x apps) per report and
exhausts on MySQL. Widened while the table is unreleased. Widening it broke every
insert on SQLite, which only autoincrements a column typed exactly INTEGER
PRIMARY KEY, so it carries a dialect variant - and nothing caught either fault,
because no test inserted into that table at all. One does now.
Ingest truncated displayname but not displayversion or publisher. On strict MySQL
an over-long registry value fails the whole check-in transaction, so one machine
with a malformed Uninstall entry goes silent entirely. SQLite does not enforce
lengths, so the suite would never have shown it.
update_app's version: branch pinned AppVersion.sha256, but that route resolves the
version to its APPLICATION and serves application.installpath - so the digest
described an artifact the route never sends, and where it was null the agent had
nothing to verify and failed open. It now pins the file actually served.
The same branch ended the delivery URL at the id, so an MSI arrived with no
extension and could not be routed through msiexec. It carries the filename now.
Agent packaging moved off require_role('admin') to a new endpoints.agentpackage
permission. The generated ZIP carries a live collector key, so this is a heavier
grant than deploying to one endpoint - and a role cannot be given to one person
for one job the way a permission can.
Full suite 2231 passed (2198 before, plus the 22 that never ran and 11 new),
frontend 314.

Add endpoint software delivery: run_script and update_app push
Adds the two delivery actions to the endpoints command allowlist, each gated on a new endpoints.deploy permission ON TOP OF endpoints.command so pushing software is a heavier grant than a routine toggle. Enqueue validates update_app appversionid ownership and installer presence before queueing. New collector-authenticated download routes let the agent fetch installer packages and script bodies by digest rather than pre-staging them or sending bodies over the command wire. Wires the scriptsApi client, the siteagent generator routes, and a temporary dev-only Delivery test bench (view/route/nav) for exercising the path while the production UI is built. |

Persist and surface endpoint installed-software (SBOM)
The endpoint agent already reports an installed-software list (SBOM), but ingress dropped it: the collector schema had no entry for it and there was nowhere to store it, so operators could not see what is installed on a PC. Persist it as a per-asset snapshot in a new endpointapplications table, replaced on every report (current inventory is what operators ask for, not install history). Add applications to the collector schema and KNOWN_PAYLOAD_KEYS so ingress stops discarding it, a read route for the raw collection, and a collapsed-by-default Installed software panel to surface it. appid is nullable groundwork for a future Managed Applications link; no matcher is wired yet. |

log ignored agent collector keys for later UI enhancements
The endpoint agent now sends disk, bios, memory, processor, osinfo, and domain telemetry. The server does not persist these yet, so ingest logs any unpersisted payload keys with a compact preview. This makes incoming telemetry observable in the logs before any UI or schema work, so we can confirm the agent is sending it and enhance the UI later. |

Rebuild the dashboard around what needs a person
The board was one card per source in a fixed grid, and both halves of that hurt. Every source got the same small box whatever it had to say. Warranties showed 5 of 50 behind "and 45 more"; the crash card truncated at 4; a one-row card sat beside a four-row card and left a hole. Nothing had room, which is the complaint that started this: not enough space to relay the data. And a box per source flattened priority. An enforcement failure and a warranty notice looked equally urgent because each owned a card, while the largest type on the page belonged to counts that are true every day and need nobody. WHAT THE PAGE IS NOW A severity rollup, one worst-first queue of everything that needs a person, and a row of context beneath it. The queue merges every critical and warning row and sorts them, so reading order is work order. It is full width, which is where the room came from. Rows are capped per source, because fifty expiring warranties must not bury two crashed PCs, and what did not fit is named per source with a link to it - a bare "and 45 more" that leads nowhere is worse than saying nothing. The rollup counts ROWS, not cards, and filters the board in place rather than navigating away, so the counts and the rows cannot disagree. Severity, position and permission were already declared per card and already sorted on. The old layout threw that away; this only stops it. WHAT WENT, AND WHY IT SHOULD NOT COME BACK Four asset tiles plus an "All assets" tile: machines + PCs + printers + network IS all assets, so the page showed a total beside its own addends at the same weight. It is now a line under a rule, where a total belongs. The printer strip. It carried the printer count a third time - the tile row and "Total Printers" were already the same number - and "Online" equalled total, so three tiles held one fact. A genuinely low cartridge already reaches the queue through the printers-supplies card, which is the moment anyone wants it. Three cards whose whole job was to display 0. Recent Devices: the largest block on the page, listing five machines that were all "In Use" with business unit "TBD". Recency is not a reason to look at something. CONTRACT 0.26.0: 'shortname' Cards may declare a short label for their rows in the merged queue. Their 'title' is written as a heading - "Endpoints with crashes or shutdowns" - and as a row badge it ran wider than the hostname it qualified, putting the badge rather than the asset at the start of every line. CSS-truncating the title was tried first and was worse: four consecutive rows reading "ENDPOINTS WITH CR..." say nothing at all. Optional and defaults to the title, so a plugin that does not declare one is unaffected. Additive field, minor bump. ALSO: "silent 1 days" A meta suffix is written for the plural case and the card cannot know the value. One row saying it was a shrug; the merged queue puts every quiet endpoint on one screen, so it said it five times in a column and read as broken. Now singularised at exactly 1, on the first word, keeping what follows: "1 event (48h)", "silent 1 day". The test asserting ' ms' survives is what caught the first version turning it into ' m'. DashboardRow.vue is extracted because the queue and the context panels render the same row, and the map tooltip, link fallbacks and chips are too easy to get subtly different in a second copy. Verified on screen against live data. Full suite 2178 passed, frontend 301. |

Say what a service state actually is, and make the badges readable
Three colour faults on the PC page, each hiding the next. ACTIVITY BADGES WERE ALL GREY. The list renderer reads a badge colour from a ROW FIELD, and the activity panel declared none, so every severity rendered identically. The feed's whole job is to make a critical event visible and it was painting it the same as a logon. The route now emits severitycolor - info grey, warning yellow, critical red - and the panel declares it. PAUSED AND THE TRANSITIONAL STATES WERE RED. statecolor was green-or-red-or- grey, so a paused service looked like a stopped one. They are different: a paused service was paused deliberately, and one stuck in Start Pending is failing to start on a retry cycle - which is exactly what raises event 7011, the thing behind the critical counts on the Fleet page. Both are amber now. NAMED COLOURS ALWAYS GOT WHITE TEXT. readableText only parsed hex and returned white for anything else, but panels emit NAMES. Green, red and grey are dark enough that white worked by luck; amber is not, so the fix above shipped as white-on-yellow and could not be read. Names resolve to hex before the contrast test, so this holds for any named colour anywhere in the app rather than these two panels. colorStyle had no test file at all. It has one now. Every one of these was found by looking at the rendered page. None of them would fail a test that checked markup. Full suite 2131 passed, vitest 273 passed. |

Merge events and commands into one Activity feed, and lead with live state
Two changes to the PC page, both about what a responder meets first. LIVE STATE FIRST. The contributed panels moved to the head of the card flow. The grid is a two-column FLOW (column-count, with display:contents on the column wrappers), so a card cannot be pinned to a side and only document order decides where it lands - putting the panels first fills the left column with endpoint status, services, processes, interfaces and activity, and leaves identity, hardware, network and location to the right. Panels still self-order among themselves by declared position and still self-hide when no plugin answers for the asset type. ONE ACTIVITY FEED replaces the Recent events card. Events and commands answer the same question - what happened to this box - and reading them as two lists meant interleaving by eye. GET /api/endpoints/asset/<id>/activity merges them newest-first, capped at 15. Both are keyed by assetid, so it is two indexed reads and a merge sort rather than a join, and it renders through the existing ADR-010 list renderer with no bespoke frontend work. A failed command is marked critical, because that is the row somebody needs to notice. Not collapsed by default, unlike the card it replaces. The core AuditLog is deliberately NOT a third source: its rows carry the action as the entity name and the asset only inside a details string, so including it would mean parsing prose to find out which machine a row belongs to. Requester names are withheld from callers who cannot themselves issue commands, via caller_holds. A read-only viewer - a guest, on a site that grants this panel - gets the history without a roster of who restarted what, and the lookup is skipped entirely rather than fetched and discarded. requestedby holds a user ID, so names resolve through one batched query, not one per row. Verified on dev telemetry: a queued command shows as 'Collect now / Pending by admin' above the Windows events, ordered by time. Full suite 2124 passed, vitest 260 passed, naming/contract/parity gates green, spec regenerated at 332 paths. |

Split the fleet roster from per-endpoint reads, and stop offering controls nobody can use
Twelve endpoints routes shared one permission, which made a reasonable policy impossible to express. A site that wants signed-out visitors to see live status on a PC page had to hand them the entire fleet - including every logged-in username on the floor - because the per-asset panels and the fleet-wide list were gated on the same string. endpoints.fleet now gates the list and the three dashboard routes. endpoints.view keeps the per-asset reads: status, services, processes, interfaces, events, command history. The name is load-bearing. guest_grantable_permissions() opens any '.view' or '.read' permission to the guest role, so calling this one 'endpoints.fleet' rather than 'endpoints.fleetview' is what keeps the roster off the public surface while per-asset telemetry stays grantable. Verified both ways. Also: the services panel emitted Start/Stop row actions to every reader, because row_actions_for() never consulted the caller. Clicking was always refused server-side, so nothing was exploitable, but showing a read-only viewer controls over a shop-floor PC is the wrong signal - and it stops being cosmetic the moment a site grants that panel to guests. That needed a contract addition rather than a local check: caller_holds() on shopdb.api answers whether THIS caller holds a permission without refusing the request, which is the complement to require_permission for a surface that serves everyone but should only offer what the caller can act on. Guests are included, since a signed-out visitor holds whatever the guest role was granted. Reaching into shopdb.utils.authz instead would repeat the ADR-002 violation the contract gate caught earlier in this branch. Contract 0.24.0 -> 0.25.0. DEPLOYMENT: endpoints.fleet is a new permission. Run 'flask seed permissions' and grant it to the roles that should keep seeing the Fleet page. Until then that page is admin-only, since admins bypass every check - a safe direction, but not an automatic one. Full suite 2124 passed, naming and contract gates green, map and spec regenerated. |

File the Fleet nav item under Assets, beside the PCs it describes
The endpoints plugin declared a section of its own, so the sidebar rendered a one-item 'Fleet' group at the bottom, below Information, far from the PCs the view is about. Its own docstring said it belonged just after PCs, and its position (16, against PCs at 15) already said so too; only the section disagreed. Filed under assets, which puts it directly under PCs. The now-empty fleet section is removed from NAV_SECTIONS - an unused section is an invitation to file something else there. |

Bring the wilm branch into main: endpoints plugin, agent, policies, CSV import
Ports the corporate-GitHub wilm branch onto main, keeping the two branches
separate. Thirteen upstream commits arrive with their authorship intact; the
review fixes and the portability work below are on top.
What arrives:
endpoints plugin - a ShopDB agent reporting endpoint state, telemetry,
services and interfaces, with a command channel the agent
long-polls. Ingest stays on the generic collector route
(ADR-006); the agent key is a UI-managed single-scope
token whose revocation is an instant kill switch.
computers policies - Configuration and Business Policies (RMM-style), scope
trees validated at write time, actions checked against
the endpoints command allowlist. Feature-gated: every
route 404s while the setting is off, so enabling it can
never half-expose the surface.
asset CSV import - templates, a collector script carrying the site path, and
a validate-then-commit import. A plugin can own a virtual
column plus a post-write row hook, which is how a PC's
machine number becomes a controls link without a
hand-built relationships sheet.
agent/ - the Windows agent and its installer.
Contract 0.21.0 -> 0.24.0, additive throughout: register_import_hook (0.22),
mint/list/revoke_service_token (0.23), collector_authorized (0.24). The stability
table had no rows for any of them and now does.
MySQL 5.6 portability. The branch stored three policy columns as sa.JSON, the
only JSON columns in the product, and 5.6 has no JSON type: the migration failed
with a bare syntax error near the word JSON. They are TEXT now, through a
JSONText type decorator, so all seventeen call sites still read and write dicts.
The convention elsewhere is already TEXT (guides.blocksjson,
geenforce.manifestjson).
Review fixes carried on top:
- six policy GETs were jwt_required(optional=True), which authenticates a
caller without checking anything; they require computers.view now, and six
redundant jwt_required decorators are gone
- the agent installer took a default BaseUrl and CollectorKey, so a mistyped
run silently pointed an endpoint at the wrong instance; both are mandatory
and a non-https BaseUrl throws unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed
- a committing CSV import wrote no audit row
Documentation: the 34 new routes are described in docs/api-inventory.json, which
is hand-maintained on purpose, and the generated spec now covers 331 paths and
477 operations across 22 surfaces. DEVELOPMENT-SETUP's 1071 troubleshooting row
said "use MySQL 8 for dev" and now gives the actual fix, including the trap that
5.6 downgrades ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC to Compact with a warning instead of an error.
Full suite 2123 passed, vitest 260 passed, all seventeen plugin chains migrate
clean on MySQL 5.6 and the naming, docs, parity and read-surface gates are green.
