Machine data arrives as a Maximo asset export (validated against the WINC
site) that must update existing machines in place, not create canonical
per-table rows, so it does not fit the ShopDB-native/Azure/Thor CSV adapter
path. Bulk edits to live machines also need an escape hatch, so the whole
commit is journaled and can be undone as one batch.
Add a dedicated dry-run analyzer, approval packet, resolver/suggest helpers,
and a reversible writer/undo backed by a new importbatches/importjournalentries
schema (with migration). Expose preview/commit/batches/undo settings routes and
a matching frontend source card and panel, and surface the batch/journal
contract through shopdb.api for plugins.
A bleeding-edge container running next to a stable one on the same dev box is easy to confuse, and a branch-only badge would force perpetual rebase/cherry-pick drift between main and dev-be. Instead the badge is config-driven: the settings endpoint injects a synthetic env_label from SHOPDB_ENV_LABEL, the sidebar renders a red DEV tag only when it is non-empty, and stable simply leaves it unset. Same code on both channels, no divergence.
dev-bootstrap.ps1 makes a fresh Windows box turnkey: it checks git/Docker (winget-installs with a prompt), verifies the engine is actually running, then builds and starts an isolated per-channel stack so stable and edge coexist on distinct ports, projects, and volumes. docker-compose.channel.yml is a thin overlay so the base compose file stays channel-agnostic.
Applied on top of af13337 so nothing already on wilm is rewritten.
AUTHORIZATION. The six new policy GETs were @jwt_required(optional=True) with
no permission at all, so an anonymous caller could list configuration and
business policies - gated only by a feature flag that 404s while off. They now
require computers.view. The six policy write routes stacked @jwt_required()
above @require_permission, the same pattern removed from nine endpoints routes
in this very push: the outer decorator answers an anonymous request 401 before
require_permission can consult the guest role, so a grant to guests silently
does nothing. Removed, and the now-unused import with them.
tests/test_core/test_public_read_surface.py failed at af13337 with seven ungated
GETs. It passes now. The seventh, endpoints.claim_next_command, is genuinely
agent-facing - authenticated in the handler by the endpoints collector key,
because a bay has no user session - so it joins PUBLIC_ENDPOINTS with its reason
written down, exactly as report_command_result already does in test_authz.py.
Note which half is public: claiming a queued command is the agent's business,
while ENQUEUEING one is the real authority and stays gated on endpoints.command.
INSTALLER. -BaseUrl and -CollectorKey are now mandatory with no defaults, and
https is enforced unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed for a local test box. The
defaults were a real hostname (ADR-015) and a live collector key: a key in
source is a key in git history, and that key is also the command channel's kill
switch. Removing it here does not undo the disclosure - it must be rotated on
the server, and purged from af13337 - but it stops the next clone carrying it.
IMPORT. A committed import wrote thousands of rows and left no audit trail; it
now writes one AuditLog row inside the same transaction, so it cannot survive a
rollback or go missing from a commit. The computer-type dropdown asked for
per_page: 200, which the API ignores in favour of perpage and clamps to 100
anyway - it uses a new computersApi.types.listAll(), the pattern already applied
to the other selectors. And the comment claiming the template example rows are
"emitted as commented rows the engine skips" was the opposite of the truth: they
import as live data, the emitted instructions say so, and a test depends on it.
Not fixed here, deliberately: rotating the leaked key, purging it from history,
and the endpoint agent's own hardening (per-host credentials, a protected
process denylist so stop cannot kill security tooling, signing before the
PowerShell runner is enabled, registry ACLs, and the 25-second long poll that
will pin a worker thread per bay).
A command reaching 'succeeded' only proves the agent ran the action, not that it posted a new telemetry snapshot. Reloading panels on command success alone re-rendered stale service/process rows, so a stopped process could still show running right after Refresh Status.
Add a lightweight telemetrymeta probe exposing lastreportedat and gate both the header Refresh Status action and inline row Start/Stop on that stamp advancing past a pre-action baseline. Polling is bounded so an offline or idle agent never hangs the button, and messaging distinguishes a confirmed refresh from a queued one.
Bring the .NET endpoint agent source (service, tray, installer) into the repo so Cameron can merge and test, with an agent/.gitignore keeping bin/obj/publish out. Includes the DncMain launch-path fix, tray single-file host env scrub, and best-effort file logger.
Default fuzzy reconcile threshold to 0 and refuse merges when digit runs differ so numbered labels like Bay 311 never bind to Bay 310. Keep edit forms from clearing saved model fields when category filtering hides untyped rows. Includes in-progress computers policy and endpoints command feature work.
PC records now carry Entra/Azure device identity so imported machines keep a durable link back to their directory object instead of matching on hostname alone. Adds azuredeviceid, azureobjectid, and azuredevicecategory to the Computer model with matching migrations, surfaces them read-only in PCDetail as an Entra Device Info card, and lets PCForm edit the device id directly. The computers plugin registers a machineassetnumber import hook that reconciles PC-to-machine links during bulk import and warns on unresolved or conflicting relationships.
Adds importsources adapters that normalize Azure device-group and Thor PC inventory exports into canonical ShopDB CSVs via hostname alignment, exposes register_import_hook and RowWarning on the shopdb.api contract surface (contract 0.21.0), and refreshes the Import Site Assets page with clearer source instructions. Includes reconcile_locations maintenance script and coverage for the new import paths.
Sites seed inventory from the Asset Collector script or spreadsheet exports, but lookup names drift between sources (Dell vs Dell Inc.), which would otherwise create duplicate vendors/models/types on every import. The importer now normalizes and fuzzy-matches near-miss references onto existing lookup rows within an operator-set similarity threshold, auto-applying the match while reporting it for review so nothing merges silently. Operating systems and asset rows are never reconciled. Adds the dedicated Import Site Assets page with script/template download and a multi-file dry-run/commit workflow.
