One key for audit retention, and stop the SAML page claiming a feature exists
Wave 6: two settings pages that told an administrator the site was configured when it was not. That is worse than a missing feature, because nobody goes looking for it. Audit retention had TWO keys. shopdb/core/services/auditretention.py reads `audit_retentiondays` (category site, default 0). A second `audit_retention_days` was seeded under category audit with a default of 90, and the Audit & Logging page wrote to that one - so an administrator set a period, reloaded, saw it persisted, and nothing ever consulted it. Retention stayed off. The page now writes the key that is read, the duplicate is out of the seed list, and migration 7d39 carries a value an operator actually set on the dead key over to the live one before deleting it: their intent was "keep 30 days", and the fix should not silently discard it. The page's copy also claimed logs "will be automatically purged", which nothing does - purging is manual, from the site settings page or `flask audit purge --apply`. The Authentication page offered a full SAML configuration - metadata URL, entity id, ACS URL, auto-create, admin group - and reported "Configured - SAML login available" once two fields held text. There is no SAML anywhere in the codebase: no login route, no ACS, no assertion handling. SAML IS planned, so the settings stay and the page keeps them; what changes is that it now says plainly that nothing consumes them yet, and the status line never claims availability. The dangerous control there was "Allow Local Login". Turning it off did nothing at all, so an administrator could believe they had closed local password login while it stayed wide open. It is locked on until there is another way in, and says why. CONFIG.md marks the whole block reserved rather than describing it as working configuration. Scope: product |

Keep a share path inside the share, a UTC timestamp in UTC, and a public map public
Three confirmed findings from the 2026-09-03 run, each independent.
GE-Enforce scope names are directory names on the imaging share, and create_scope
checked only that the name was non-empty. "../escape" wrote a manifest one level
above the share root, "../../escape2" two, and "/tmp/anywhere" wherever it liked
- proven by writing the files and then deleting them. The exposure is the
permission split rather than the traversal itself: geenforce.manage creates the
scope and geenforce.publish writes the file, so a manage-only author could aim a
publisher's write at any path that process can reach. Names are now a single
safe path segment, checked at creation AND again at the write (rows predating the
check exist, and the write is the line that acts), with the resolved target
confirmed to sit under the share root.
Agent timestamps were converted with astimezone(tz=None), which means the
SERVER's local zone, not UTC. An agent reporting 17:26:16Z was stored as
13:26:16 on this EDT box and re-served labelled 'Z', while the same row's
server-written lastreportedat stayed true UTC - one row carrying two time bases
four hours apart. The dashboard's 48-hour stability window compares a real UTC
cutoff against these values, so events left it four hours early. Invisible on a
UTC server, which is how it survived, and nothing in the Dockerfile, the compose
files or the Windows deploy pins TZ. AGENT-CONTRACT.md mandates UTC on the wire,
so a naive value is now taken as UTC rather than guessed at.
The three /api/maplevels reads went back to optional-auth. ADR-017 rule 6, the
API inventory (auth "none"), the module's own docstring and the comment in
PrinterInstallerMap.vue all say they are public, because the printer installer
map runs before anyone logs in and needs a blueprint to draw on.

Stop the audit log from being what fails the write
Wave 4, second half. PUT /api/machines/<id> returned 500 and rolled the whole
edit back for any machine with a maintenance date recorded - including a rename
that never touched the date. The Machine edit form could not save such a
machine at all, which is most of them once a maintenance schedule exists.
The route builds {'old': getattr(row, field)} straight off the model, so the
changes dict carries whatever the column holds: a date, a datetime, a Decimal.
AuditLog.changes serialised it with a bare json.dumps, which raises on all
three, and nothing caught it. The audit entry and the edit share a transaction,
so the failure took the edit with it.
json.dumps now has a fallback encoder: dates and datetimes become ISO strings,
Decimals become floats, sets and bytes get something readable, and anything
else becomes its repr rather than an exception. An audit entry that reads a
little awkwardly is worth more than a failed write - the alternative, and what
happened, is losing the change AND the record of it.
Fixed at the audit log rather than in the machines route: every audited route
builds its changes dict the same way, so the next one to audit a date field
would have hit the same wall.
Four tests, including the exact shape the machines route produces. Verified by
planting the bare dumps back: two fail.

Ask what the caller may do, not what its owner may do
Wave 4, first half. A personal API token scoped to endpoints.command alone could queue system_restart, run_script and update_app against a shop-floor PC. require_permission has always suspended the admin bypass for a scoped token, and tests pin that. What nothing covered was a route checking a SECOND permission by hand: the endpoints command route asked current_user.haspermission(elevated), which reads the token's OWNER. An admin minting a narrow token for a script therefore handed out remote restart, script execution and app deployment - the exact bypass require_permission exists to prevent, reintroduced one hand-rolled check at a time. caller_holds is now scope-aware, so the answer is about the caller rather than the person behind it: the owner must hold the permission AND, when the request carries a scoped token, the scope list must name it. An unscoped token is the person and is unchanged; a session is unchanged; guests still answer from the guest role. Both hand-rolled checks in the tree now use it - the endpoints elevated gate and the secure-send tools.secrets check, which had the same shape and the same consequence at a smaller scale. Two tests, one proving the refusal and one proving an unscoped token still passes (a fix that quietly broke every service token would be worse than the bug). Verified by planting the owner-based check back: the first fails. Reported by the fleet-agent lane of the 2026-09-03 test run and confirmed by an independent verifier that minted its own token and queued its own commands. Scope: product |

Answer a nonsense filter with a 400, and sweep every list route for the rest
Wave 3. Six findings, one cause: `int(request.args.get('typeid'))` with nothing
catching the ValueError. The caller sent a bad argument and got
500 INTERNAL_ERROR plus a traceback in the log, which says the server is broken
when the truth is that 'abc' is not a number.
shopdb/utils/queryargs.intarg reads it and raises QueryArgError, which an
app-level handler answers as a 400 naming the argument. App-level on purpose: a
route should not have to remember, and forgetting was the entire defect. The
policy differs from get_pagination_params, which falls back to a default for a
bad page number - a nonsense page is harmless and the caller still wants their
list, but silently ignoring a nonsense FILTER returns rows they believe they
excluded.
The gate matters more than the six fixes. tests/test_core/test_bad_query_args.py
sweeps all 131 registered no-parameter GET routes under /api/ with twelve
argument shapes and fails on any 5xx. It found sites the test run had not
reported - statusid and locationid on /api/assets, the second asset-list route,
limit on the employee lookup and the printer supply history - because the
pattern is how a list filter gets written rather than a property of any one
route. Verified non-vacuous by planting the old `int(...)` back into
/api/machines: four tests fail.
Four usb routes are skipped by exact path, with the reason: they reach the
EXTERNAL cmmc_usb database, so their 500 in a test environment is a missing
database rather than an argument fault. That is the complete set - every usb
GET route calling cmmc_usb_connection - not a convenient subset.
One correction worth recording: the first pass rewrote every
`if x := request.args.get(...)` in the touched files, including text arguments,
so a search for 'ZZNOTHINGMATCHES' briefly became a 400. Caught by
test_list_search_identifiers. Only id-shaped arguments are integers.

Refuse a value the database cannot store, instead of quietly changing it
Wave 2 of the remediation plan. Eight findings from the feature test run were the same defect twice: a write that reports success while storing something other than what was sent. The first half is a date parser that swallowed its own error. Two plugins carried an identical private _parse_date returning None on ValueError, so an unparseable date and a deliberately cleared one produced the same write. PUT /api/warranty/<id> with enddate '30-06-2027' answered 200 "Warranty updated" and stored NULL, dropping the record out of every expiry surface on the strength of a typo; the measuring-tool calibration date did the same and flipped the tool to 'unknown', out of the calibration report and the map overlay. shopdb/utils/datevalues.py now holds one strict parser on the contract surface: an explicitly empty value clears the field, anything that is not a date is refused with a 400 naming the field, and those are different intents with different answers. The vendor-lookup paths keep a lenient wrapper on purpose - a provider changing its date shape must not fail the refresh of an otherwise good record, and no person typed that value. The second half is why the truncation findings were possible at all. MySQL was running non-strict: sql_mode on the 5.6 server is NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION with no STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, so it accepted writes it could not store and adjusted them. A 257-character username became its first 100 characters (and the next distinct one then collided with it); an over-long asset number was cut at 50; a malformed releasedate became '0000-00-00' and permanently broke every read of that application. All with a 201. The mode is now set on the CONNECTION rather than left to the server, so a site whose my.cnf disagrees still gets it. That trades silent corruption for a DataError, which uncaught is a 500 - and a 500 says the server is broken when the truth is that the value does not fit. An error handler maps it to a 400 naming the column where MySQL names one. Verified by hand against MySQL 5.6: POST /api/users with a 257-character username now answers 400 "That value is too long for username." and stores nothing, where it previously stored a truncated row and answered 201. Twelve tests. The date guard is verified by planting: restore the swallowing parser and four of them fail. The DataError tests raise the error directly because the suite runs on SQLite, which does not enforce VARCHAR length at all - there is no value that would trigger it there, which is precisely why this went unnoticed.

Make a partly-undone import retryable, and refuse a plan it cannot deliver
Five findings from the review of the WINC import, plus the rendering each fix needed to be usable. An undo that hit a conflict wrote status 'undone' anyway, and undo_batch returns immediately for an undone batch. So the one entry that needed a retry was the only one that could never get it: the human resolves the conflict, clicks Undo, and gets a no-op. A conflicted undo is now 'partially-undone', undoneat is stamped only when the batch is genuinely finished, and the batches table offers "Retry undo" for that status. The column was String(16) and the new value is exactly 16 characters, so migration 7d38 widens it to 32 rather than rely on an exact fit. _UNDO_REFERENCES listed only assets, so a business unit this batch created was hard-deleted even when something else still pointed at it. Two of the three missing referrers are real FKs (dashboarddefaults.businessunitid, businessunits.parentid): MySQL raises and the whole undo rolls back, so the batch cannot be undone at all. The third, notifications.businessunitid, has no FK, so the delete succeeded and left a notification pointing at an id that no longer exists - silently, on both engines. All four are listed and the guard is tested through the route. The reference guard also queried tables that need not exist. A lean site drops the tables of plugins it does not install (ADR-014), and notifications is plugin-owned, so on such a site the query raised 1146, rolled the undo back and left the batch permanently un-undoable. Absent tables are skipped; a table that does not exist cannot hold a reference. _PACKET_GROUPS reports on location, but apply_plan only ever creates business units - it sets locationid only when the location already resolved. A plan needing a new location asked the admin to acknowledge it, got the tick, wrote nothing, and reported nothing. build_packet now takes the groups the writer can actually create; anything else needed is 'uncreatable' and blocks at plan time, where the admin can act on it, rather than dying at commit on a message about acknowledging something the screen had no control for. The writer refuses the same case independently. Both the console packet and the import page name the blocking groups: setting blocking without printing the reason would leave the banner pointing at nothing. The web undo route caught ValueError only, so refusing a batch belonging to another importer surfaced as a 500. That refusal is new too: the journal is a general primitive and undo_batch does not filter on kind, so any other importer's batches were reversible through this endpoint, carrying WINC's references map - which lists none of that importer's tables, making every reference check pass and every delete unconditional. Nine tests. The two guards were verified by planting violations: dropping dashboarddefaults from the references map, and passing creatable=None, each fail the test written for them. Scope: product |

Cap request bodies, close a hole in the gate, fix to_dict and two settings pages
Six fixes that were ours regardless of what the sister site does. Four came out of our own reviews; two you reported from the settings pages. MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH was set nowhere. Every upload route caps its own payload, but each of those checks runs after the body has arrived: the first touch of request.form or request.files makes Werkzeug parse the whole multipart and spool the file to a temp file, so a route can reject the content and still have paid for the transfer and the disk. Three separate reviews found that shape in three different routes, which makes it a property of the app rather than of any handler. 128 MB, clearing the 64 MB agent binary with room for the envelope. The naming gate excluded devnotes with --exclude-dir, which matches a directory of that NAME at any depth - so a force-added plugins/<plugin>/devnotes/ was invisible to every check in the file, ADR-015 included. Replaced with a path anchored post-filter. Verified by planting the same site literal in root devnotes/ AND in plugins/endpoints/devnotes/: the gate now reports exactly one, the nested one. Before, it reported none. BaseModel.to_dict walked __table__.columns and published every one, so a model without an override published whatever it carried - including columns added later by someone not thinking about this method. User has no override, so User.to_dict() returned its bcrypt hash. Nothing calls it in a response path today, which is luck rather than design. A blanket allowlist would empty the output of all 34 models relying on the default, so this pins a floor instead: named secret-bearing columns are never emitted, and a model may extend the set. Eight tests, including a sweep over every mapped model. ActionPicker's Esc handlers had .prevent but not .stop, so the event bubbled to the wrapper and closed the whole picker instead of returning to the monitor list. The branding page reported "error loading image" on the site and badge logos. Two bugs stacked. The load failure was real: the preview used the stored value as a raw src, and that value is root-relative, so under /shopdb or /ops it resolved against the SERVER root and 404d - siteSettings.js wraps every logo in withBase() and this page was the one place that did not. With that fixed two of three were still invisible, because the shipped GE mark is fill="white" for the dark sidebar and was rendering white-on-white. The preview tile now sits on a mid-tone checker so artwork of any colour reads against it. The floor-map levels table ran off the right with its cells crushed - nine columns of inputs, no scroll wrapper, and .data-table is styled nowhere. My first attempt reached for the global .table-container and made it WORSE: that class also sets white-space: nowrap, and a full sentence of hint text lives in one of the cells, so nowrap forced the table wider still. It now scrolls in a local wrapper, the hint wraps, and the name input has a width instead of collapsing to one character. Suite 2377, frontend 324, gate green. Scope: product |

Import the wilm agent store and WINC adoption work, with four fixes
Eleven commits from the sister site: a reversible Maximo/WINC machine-adoption import, a versioned agent binary store with upload and rollback, remote-BuildKit CI, tray version reporting, and UI fixes. Applied as a patch again - the published mirror rewrites hashes, so the branches have unrelated histories and git refuses to merge them. Reviewed by three agents before merging. Four things fixed here. THE PUBLISH WORKFLOW WAS DEAD. The new remote-BuildKit step in publish-images.yml sits at column 0 instead of indented under steps:, so the whole file is invalid YAML and GitHub would refuse it. Their entire GHCR distribution channel - which Start-ShopDBDev.ps1 and the compose files consume - was broken at the source and clearly never run. Indented; all five workflows now parse. THE IMPORT'S APPROVAL CHECK COULD NOT FAIL. commit() built the plan and the approval packet from the same upload and then asked the writer whether they matched, so packet_matches_plan compared a hash against itself. The documented contract - "a human approves a specific, frozen plan, and the writer can prove nothing drifted" - did not exist in the web path: an admin could preview file A and commit file B, gated only by the needs-create group NAMES they ticked. The preview's planhash is now required at commit and checked against a freshly rebuilt plan. Their tests committed without previewing, which is what let this through; they go through the real flow now, and three new tests pin it - all confirmed to fail with the check stubbed out. endpoints.agentpackage QUIETLY GREW. It used to mean "wrap the staged exe in a ZIP"; with the upload routes it also means "choose the executable every future package installs and runs as SYSTEM". Before this, staging needed filesystem access to the server. The permission description still said only "generate and download a package", so an admin granting it could not see what they were granting. Reworded. NOTHING RECORDED WHAT WAS STAGED, OR BY WHOM. The manifest held version, size and timestamp; re-uploading a version replaces the bytes in place under the same label. A sha256 of the stored file is now recorded, and the upload is audit-logged with it - after an incident there was previously no answer to who put that binary on the fleet. Also documented the nine new routes in docs/api-inventory.json (that gate cannot run on the mirror, so it falls to us at promotion time again), regenerated the spec and the project map, and kept our own docs where they conflicted: docs/ is scrubbed from the mirror, so their DEV-BUILD-TEST.md still had the dev-be channel mapping we corrected, and their PLUGIN-HOOKS.md was a new 45-line file rather than our 737-line canonical one. Their journal section is appended to ours. Contract version comes across as 0.30.0 for a genuinely additive surface. Suite 2369, frontend 324, gate green. Scope: product |

Shut the parts kiosk behind a device token, and stop the health probe leaking
Both from the second Darkwing scan. Every claim in it was verified against the
code before acting.
The kiosk was the product's only unauthenticated write, justified by a decision
record saying it was "physically rate-limited: it serves a touch screen on the
shop floor". Nothing in code enforced the physical half, and an HTTP route is
reachable from wherever the app is. What that left open:
- _kiosk_find_item falls back to matching bare digits against the numeric
tail of every active item, so 1, 2, 3 walk the catalogue without knowing a
barcode;
- a badge is a short numeric SSO, and the route answered 422 for an unknown
one and 200 for a real one - an oracle for sorting guesses into employees;
- the write then decremented stock and stamped the ledger, which IS the audit
trail, with whatever SSO the caller supplied;
- quantity was bounded only by what was on hand, so one request emptied a bin.
A badge is attribution, never authorization. Both kiosk routes now need the
site's kiosk flag AND a per-device token, and 404 rather than 403 without them
so a caller does not learn the door is there. The READ is gated too: gating only
the write would have left the enumeration oracle running against a kiosk a site
had switched off.
The token is per-DEVICE, not per-page, because a kiosk is a browser on a touch
screen and a token served inside the page is readable by anyone who can load it.
An admin opens the screen once as /parts-kiosk?token=..., the page moves it into
that browser's localStorage and strips it from the address bar.
Also: quantity is capped per take, JSON true no longer passes as 1
(isinstance(True, int) is True), and every badge failure on the anonymous route
returns one message. The gated restock and adjust handlers keep the specific
message - there the person is known and the detail is help, not an oracle. I
changed the wrong one of those three handlers first; caught by the test.
/api/dashboard/health formatted str(e) straight into the body of a route
PUBLIC_ENDPOINTS declares open because "monitoring has no account". A pymysql
OperationalError names the database account, the app host's address, the driver
and the failing statement. It is logged server-side now and the body carries a
coarse status. The version goes with it - it told an anonymous caller which
release to look up. Status stays 200 either way: a monitor keyed on the body's
status field is the contract here, and turning a degraded database into a
transport failure is a separate decision from not leaking the exception.
Nine tests. The three gate tests were confirmed to fail with the gate stubbed
out, rather than assumed to cover it. Suite 2325, frontend 316, build clean.

test_api_inventory_parity fails. That gate SKIPS on the published mirror

Link the Entra ids on a PC to the Azure portal
The Entra Device Info card showed two GUIDs and nothing to do with them.
Copying one into the portal by hand is the kind of errand a detail page exists
to remove.
Each link sits BESIDE the id it is built from rather than in a row at the top
of the card, because the pairing is counterintuitive: the DEVICE id opens
Intune and the OBJECT id opens Entra. A separate action row would have to
re-label which is which, and would still leave the reader matching them up.
BOTH URLS ARE SETTINGS WITH AN EMPTY DEFAULT, and that is the whole design.
The host is a tenant fact, not a product one - this site is on the US
Government cloud, portal.azure.us, where a commercial-cloud default would send
people to a page that does not exist. Microsoft also moves these blade paths,
and a site that hits that can fix it by editing a setting rather than waiting
for a release. Empty means no link and the id still renders as text, so a site
that configures nothing is unchanged. The example values live in each
setting's description, per cloud.
Same shape as the ServiceNow URL templates already in integrations, down to
the {token} placeholder, so there is one idiom for "deep link into a system we
do not own" rather than two.

Read a numeric natural key as a name before reading it as an id
An Azure device import died part-way with a foreign-key error, and the crash was the lucky outcome. The Azure adapter routes a device that already exists to its real asset by writing that asset's assetnumber into the assetid column of the CSV it generates, expecting the engine to look it up. The resolver instead takes any all-digit string at face value as a literal id. This site numbers operations 0NNN, so numeric assetnumbers are ordinary here: `0704` was read as id 704, which does not exist, hence the error. `0600` would have been read as id 600 - a printer - and bound a PC to it silently, reporting success. Two changes, both needed. The resolver now tries the label first for an all-digit string and only falls back to reading it as an id when nothing is named that. The face-value behaviour exists for a real reason - exports round-trip and carry real ids, as its original comment says - so it stays as the fallback rather than being removed. Somebody writing `0600` in a column keyed on assetnumber means the asset called 0600, and binding the row to an unrelated record is far worse than failing. _existing_hostname_map now hands over the assetid rather than the assetnumber. Giving the resolver the id it is going to treat the value as makes the passthrough correct by construction instead of correct by luck. Verified against a restored copy of the production database: 234 devices, 221 matching an existing computer and updating in place, 13 new, no problems. The same run previously failed on the foreign key. Neither half was wrong alone. The passthrough dates from the original CSV import and the hostname map from the wilm merge months later; they only meet at a site whose natural keys are numeric. Scope: product |

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.

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.

Offer the search box to whoever can actually search
The sidebar box was drawn for anyone signed in, on the reasoning that offering it to a signed-out reader gives them a control that can only answer 401. That stopped being the right test when the guest role became able to hold assets.view: the box was hidden from exactly the visitor the grant was reopened for, and a guest could reach search only by typing /search?q= by hand. The client cannot decide this. Its hasPermission getter reads the signed-in user's permission list and a guest has no user at all, so asking it about a guest answers no for everyone. get_navigation already had the problem and already solved it by letting the server decide, so capabilities does the same thing and reports what the CALLER holds. It reports booleans about the caller and never what the guest role holds in general, so it tells an anonymous reader nothing the rendered page does not. Public because it is the pre-login call that decides whether the box is drawn at all. Members who lack assets.view now lose a box that only ever 401'd for them. On a failed call the box stays hidden rather than falling back to the old signed-in test, which would put it back in front of those same members. Scope: product |

Gate each search domain on its own permission
Global search is gated on assets.view, and that was the whole check. Behind it the route queried twelve domains: applications, the knowledge base, guides, the staff directory, assets, measuring tools, USB devices, printed parts, custom fields, notifications, hostnames, and vendor and model reference data, plus addresses and subnets for an IP-shaped query. None of them consulted their own permission. So anyone who could look up an asset number could also read the staff directory out of the HR database, the USB checkout history and who holds which drive, and the network inventory. The SEARCH_DOMAINS settings look like they bound this but they are site feature toggles, not authorization. Each domain now answers only to a caller who holds its permission. Assets, custom fields and vendor/model stay on assets.view because all three emit asset rows routed to asset pages. caller_holds rather than require_permission: refusing the whole request because one domain is off-limits would make search useless to anyone holding less than everything. A domain the caller cannot see contributes nothing and the rest still answers. This is what makes assets.view safe to grant the guest role again. It left the grantable set in |

Key the client address on the connection, not a header the caller sends
client_ip() read the first X-Forwarded-For hop unconditionally. The
login rate limit and the account lockout are keyed on that value and the
audit log records it, so rotating the header per request bought an
unbounded budget and an untraceable trail.
This walked around TRUSTED_PROXY_COUNT, which exists to decide exactly
this. The app leaves ProxyFix off by default and says why, ten lines of
comment away: ProxyFix trusts X-Forwarded-*, a client can send those
itself, and the login limiter is keyed on the address. Then client_ip
read the header anyway, so the stated protection never applied.
Resolution is now from remote_addr, which ProxyFix has already filled
from the header wherever a proxy is genuinely configured. Both cases end
at the same trustworthy source, and the port still comes off because ARR
forwards clientip:port and ProxyFix passes it through verbatim.
geenforce and tools had each hand-rolled the same mistake for their own
limiters. Rather than duplicate security-relevant logic a third time,
client_ip and strip_port join the shopdb.api surface (contract 0.28.0).
geenforce's _trusted_client_ip, which already refused the raw header for
its IP allowlist, is untouched and was the model for this.
The stability table was also missing rows for 0.26.0 and 0.27.0.
INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md never mentioned TRUSTED_PROXY_COUNT, so a site
installed from it runs behind IIS with the setting at 0: every request
looks like it came from IIS, the whole site shares one rate-limit
bucket, and the audit log records the proxy for every action. It now
says so, and says not to set it when nothing is in front.
Three test modules simulated separate callers by setting
X-Forwarded-For, which is the header a real attacker rotates to escape
the limit. One of them, test_client_ip_prefers_forwarded_first_hop_
stripped, asserted the defect outright. The suite could not have caught
this. They now drive REMOTE_ADDR, with a regression guard that forging
the header buys nothing.

End a user's sessions when the account is deactivated
There is no token denylist in this product, so the JWT user loader is
the only place a deactivated account can be stopped, and it did a bare
lookup by id. Somebody deactivated at 09:00 kept a working access token
until it expired, and a refresh token that minted fresh ones for thirty
days.
/api/auth/refresh and the API-token path already checked isactive. This
makes the loader consistent with them rather than inventing policy.

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.

Add installer/script delivery metadata to the core software model
AppVersion gains sha256 and silentargs so the endpoint update_app push can pin exact installer bytes and carry per-version silent switches; Application gains installersha256 for the app-level install source. New ShopDB-hosted script library (Script model plus scripts API) backs run_script delivery, with the body fetched by digest on push rather than pre-staged or sent over the command wire. Two idempotent migrations with real downgrades. Script added to the shopdb.api contract surface for plugin use. |

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. |

Show every status the asset total contains, and what it excludes
Asked twice what "All assets" covered, which is the signal a label is underspecified rather than a reader being slow. The endpoint already counted every status to build its rollup and then returned two of them, so a reader could see In Use and had no way to learn where the rest of the total went. It now returns them all, and the panel lists them under the total - indented and quieter, because they break the total down rather than adding to it. Three things this makes visible that were not guessable: Retired assets are IN the total. Retired is a status on an active record, not the same as deactivated, and seven of them sit inside this site's 610. There is an "Inventory" status. I would have hardcoded In Use, In Repair and Retired and silently dropped it. The rows are built from whatever the API returns, sorted by count, so a status a site adds appears rather than disappearing - which matters for sites adopting with their own seed data. Rows held back by isactive are in NO status bucket, so they cannot be found by adding the buckets up. That gap is exactly what makes a dashboard total disagree with a list page, so the count is reported and captioned. The caption states the counting policy - active records only, dual-bay pairs counted once - and the dual-path clause renders only when that site toggle is on, since asserting it unconditionally would be false at a site that has it off. Full suite 2182, frontend 314. |

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. |

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. |

Register the endpoints list without a trailing slash, and stop hiding its errors
An endpoint reported telemetry correctly for hours while the Fleet page showed
"No endpoints found". The PC detail page displayed its panels the whole time, so
ingest was plainly working; only the list was empty.
The list route was the one route in 331 paths registered with a trailing slash:
@endpoints_bp.route('/', methods=['GET']) -> /api/endpoints/
The browser client calls it without one, so Flask answered a 308 redirect to an
ABSOLUTE url. On dev that resolves and nobody notices. Behind the IIS subpath it
cannot: with no ProxyFix, Werkzeug builds that Location from the scheme and host
it believes it has, so it emitted http:// and dropped the /shopdb prefix. A
browser will not follow an https page to http, the request failed, and the
page's catch block rendered the empty state.
Every other route in the plugin worked throughout, because none of them carries
a trailing slash - the detail panels call /endpoints/asset/<id>/status and were
never redirected. Detail works, list empty is the signature of this bug.
Registered as '' now, so the rule is /api/endpoints. That is what
CONTRIBUTING.md's API section spells and what every other list route in the
product already did. The inventory and the generated spec are updated to match.
Also here:
- tests/test_core/test_no_redirecting_routes.py fails the build if any /api
rule is registered with a trailing slash and strict slashes. Verified by
planting the violation: it named the offending route, then passed once
reverted. It takes the shared app fixture rather than building its own
application - doing that rebinds SQLAlchemy and leaves the NEXT module
without tables, which showed up as three unrelated "no such table: settings"
failures visible only in a full run.
- The Fleet page now renders "Could not load endpoints (HTTP nnn). This is a
failed request, not an empty fleet." A list that reports a 403 and an empty
fleet identically is what made this take as long as it did.
- TRUSTED_PROXY_COUNT (default 0) applies ProxyFix when set. Off by default on
purpose: it makes X-Forwarded-* trusted, and a client can send those itself,
while the login rate limit and account lockout are keyed on the client
address. Set it to 1 on an instance behind IIS.
Full suite 2124 passed, vitest 260 passed, naming and docs gates green.

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.

A nav item says which permission its page needs
The sidebar hides what the caller cannot reach - that is what makes it useful to a guest, and what stops a member with a sparse role being offered links that can only answer 403. It reads the permission off the nav item to decide. Only four items ever declared one. Machines, PCs, Printers, Network, USB, Knowledge Base, Notifications, Calendar, Dashboard, Map, Applications and Reports declared nothing, so the filter had nothing to go on: granting the guest role machines.view opened the API and left the sidebar empty, which reads as the grant not working. Every item now names its read permission - in the plugins, in the core navigation endpoint, and in the frontend's fallback list, which is what renders when the endpoint is unreachable and would otherwise disagree with it. |

Reading anything needs a permission
A sweep of the URL map found 165 GET routes that answered anybody, with no token at all: the whole asset inventory, every machine, PC, printer and network device, the USB checkout history and who is holding which drive, the staff directory with its photographs, every core report. Guest access had been argued about one feature-flag at a time while the front door stood open. Each of those now carries the read permission it belongs to. That also makes the guest role mean something: a site can open exactly the reads it chooses, and nothing follows by accident. Thirty-three endpoints stay public, and each is named with its reason rather than left to be inferred: the app shell and its bootstrap, the settings allowlist (the handler already filters an anonymous caller down to branding and a few keys), images fetched by <img src> which carries no Authorization header, what a display kiosk renders before anybody signs in, the parts and USB kiosks, the client scripts that run as SYSTEM before a user session exists, and a secure-send link whose unguessable token IS the authorisation. tests/test_core/test_public_read_surface.py is the standing gate, the companion to the mutating-route sweep that has guarded writes for months. A new public read fails CI until somebody adds it to that list in front of a reviewer. Four further reads need a login but no permission, because the handler decides from who you are - your own user record, your own API tokens, the role catalogue the grid renders - and the same test proves each still refuses an anonymous caller. Verified not vacuous by ungating one route and watching the sweep name it. The employees plugin gained employees.view; the directory is names, SSOs, photographs and reporting lines, and it had no permission of any kind. Around ninety tests asserted payload shapes against endpoints that answered anybody. They are about what the answer says, not about who may ask, so they are signed in now rather than the gate being loosened. The ones that assert an anonymous caller is refused were left exactly as they were. |

Anyone not signed in holds the guest role
Whether somebody with no account may see something was being answered one feature at a time: a securesend_allow_guests setting, an enable flag per kiosk, and very nearly a third for guides - each with its own settings page, its own vocabulary and its own hand-written branch inside a route. Every one of them answered a permissions question, and this app already administers permissions per role. So a caller with no token is not nobody: they hold the seeded `guest` role. require_permission consults it when there is no identity, which is the entire mechanism. The role is seeded holding NOTHING, so an upgrade opens no door; a site opens one by ticking a box in the same grid it uses for every other role, and closes it the same way. Revocation is read on every request rather than cached, because taking guest access away is what somebody does the moment they realise what they opened, and it has to bite immediately. The redundant @jwt_required() above require_permission is gone from 184 routes. It was belt-and-braces before; now it is actively wrong, because it refuses a request with no token before the permission check can have an opinion, so a grant would appear to do nothing. What a guest may hold is bounded. Any .view or .read permission is grantable. A WRITE has to be blessed by whoever owns it, through the new get_guest_grantable_permissions hook (contract 0.21.0), and Secure Send is the only case that exists: sending a password to a vendor is the one write this product means to offer somebody who never signs in. Everything else is refused by the API and greyed out in the grid rather than warned about - a checkbox that quietly makes deleting an asset anonymous is not a warning anybody reads twice. A guest write records no creator: the trail says when and from where, never who, and that is the reason for the bar. GE-Enforce and Slides gained read permissions so they can be opened to guests without handing out the manage right. Their read routes accept either through require_any_permission, so nothing an existing manager could reach has moved. The navigation endpoint now returns only what the caller can actually reach. Without that a signed-out visitor gets a sidebar of the whole app where every link bounces off the login page, which reads as a broken site rather than as a closed door. A nav item may name several permissions; holding any one is enough, which is what GE-Enforce and Slides need now that a viewer and a manager hold different strings. Two things this found on the way: current_user is a LocalProxy, so `current_user is None` is False for a request with nobody behind it - harmless under a required JWT, an AttributeError the moment verification became optional. And an image pasted into a guide before its first save was never attached to it, so it was visible to editors and invisible to every reader; saving now attaches it, and `flask guides fix-images` repairs what is stored. The guides guest setting written earlier today is gone. Granting guides.view to the guest role replaces it, which is the point. |

Search: a domain that FAILED no longer looks like one that found nothing
Every domain catches broadly and returns no rows so one broken table cannot take the whole search box down. That part is right. On its own, though, it makes a DOWN domain indistinguishable from an EMPTY one: the technician sees no results, is offered a spelling correction, and concludes the record does not exist. It does - the search just could not look. Failed domains are now named in the response and stated above the results. The suggestion is deliberately still offered on a degraded run. Suppressing it was tried first and is worse: a chronically unreachable domain, an external HR directory say, would silently disable spelling help for every search for ever with nothing saying why. Naming the failure is the honest fix; withholding a second useful signal is not. Guides search also moves to the published revision. It correctly limited itself to published GUIDES, but matched and displayed title/summary/tags/blocksjson from the Guide row - which is the WORKING copy. A published guide with unpublished edits matched on wording that only exists in the draft, and the reader opened it to find the word absent. |

Audit log retention: a way to purge, off by default
The audit log is append-only and nothing ever removed a row, so it grows for as long as a site runs. This site reached tens of thousands of pages, which is past the point of being useful: nobody pages through that to find anything. Retention is OPT-IN and the default keeps everything. An upgrade that silently started deleting a site's audit history would be indefensible, so audit_retentiondays defaults to 0 and nothing is removed until somebody sets a number. The Site & Facility card shows the log's size and exactly how many entries a purge would delete BEFORE anything is pressed. Deleting happens in committed batches. That is not an optimisation: one DELETE over a million rows builds a single enormous transaction and holds locks across the table while it runs, which on this server means blocking the collectors posting inventory. The API caps its batch count so the request cannot outlive a proxy timeout, and a run that stops early reports how much is left rather than claiming it finished - a purge reporting success over 900k remaining rows would be the same silent half-failure this codebase keeps getting bitten by. `flask audit stats` and `flask audit purge` for the server, the latter reporting by default and deleting only with --apply, with no batch cap because it is not behind a proxy and a purge that stops halfway leaves the operator guessing. audit.purge is a separate permission from audit.view. Reading the log and destroying it are different acts, and plenty of people need only the first. Chunking selects a page of ids and deletes those rather than using DELETE ... LIMIT, which is MySQL-only while the suite runs on SQLite. |

ADR-015: the site-literal check was matching nothing, and had been all along
The patterns are assembled from fragments so the published script does not
contain the strings it greps for. They used the apostrophe-escape form
('a'\''b'), which EMBEDS a literal apostrophe, instead of the concatenation form
('a''b'), which joins them. Every pattern therefore carried a stray quote in the
middle and could never match a line of real code, so the check passed everything
from the day it was written.
Verified the only way that means anything: plant a violation, watch it fail,
revert. Fixed, it immediately found 25 real hits.
Among them, in seven places, the default ServiceNow URLs - one organisation's QA
tenant, shipped with the integration ENABLED. Any site that had not configured
ServiceNow still rendered ticket links, pointing its technicians at a tenant
they cannot reach; an adopting site would have been pointed into somebody else's
instance entirely. There is no sensible cross-site default for "which ServiceNow
is yours", so the URLs ship blank and the integration ships off, matching the
Zabbix block that got this right.
A named SaaS tenant is as site-specific as a hostname, so it joins the patterns.
Colocated .spec.js files are excluded the same way tests/ already is: sample data
naming a facility is not a shipped literal.

Let Guides be switched off in Settings > Search like every other domain
Global search has per-domain toggles (search_<type>_enabled), enforced server-side and edited from Settings. Guides answered the search box but had no toggle, so it was the one domain nobody could turn off - and the omission would only have surfaced when somebody went looking for the switch and could not find it. Missing key still means enabled, so nothing changes until somebody decides otherwise. |

Guides answer the search box, and proofing catches what spellcheck cannot
A guide was invisible to global search. Core search has a hardcoded block per domain rather than a hook, so a new plugin stays unreachable until someone adds one - which is the same shape as the gap this test file already documents for USB devices and printed parts: records with a list page, labels in the world, and no way to find them from the search box. Guides are searched by title, summary, tags AND body. The body matters more here than elsewhere: people look for a procedure by something written halfway down it, not by a title they never read. PUBLISHED ONLY - a draft is deliberately invisible to readers, and search is exactly where that rule leaks if nobody writes it down. The test proves it with a draft sharing a tag and a body word with a published guide, so a missing filter would show up as a ride-along. PROOFING catches what a spellchecker cannot, because none of these are spelling: a smart quote in a command so it will not run, a checklist item with no text so a step is silently missing, a heading left with nothing under it after a reorganise, an image with no alt text, a TODO published by accident. Warnings, never blocks - somebody publishing at 14:40 with one empty bullet should be told, not stopped, and a procedure that exists imperfectly beats one nobody wrote. The smart-character issue reports once per block with a one-click fix, rather than once per offending character: an opening and a closing quote are one problem, and listing both makes the panel look like it is nagging. The character table itself is written as escapes. The style gate forbids non-ASCII in source, and a file whose job is detecting smart quotes cannot contain any - which the gate caught, correctly. |

Guides: write a procedure in ShopDB, not beside it
The knowledgebase plugin is a link registry - a description, a URL and some keywords pointing at a document held somewhere else. That leaves the documents themselves as HTML files on a share: no search, no history, no way to know whether the copy pinned to a noticeboard is current, and no way for a technician to tick off where they are. A guide is stored as an ordered list of typed blocks rather than a blob of HTML, because three of the four things this feature exists for depend on it. A tickable step needs a stable id to be remembered; dark mode needs semantic markup rather than pasted colours; and print needs to know where a step begins so it does not split one across a page. Free HTML gives none of that and lets pasted styling fight the theme. Inline text is a restricted Markdown subset - bold, italic, inline code, links, line breaks - escaped BEFORE formatting, so nothing an author pasted can reach the DOM as markup. No fonts, sizes or colours: emphasis is semantic and the theme decides how it looks. That is what makes a guide written next year match one written today, and dark mode work without an author thinking about it. DRAFTS AND VERSIONS. The guide row is the working copy; every save that changes something writes an immutable revision; and a separate pointer says which revision READERS get. Without that pointer, editing a live procedure changes it under a technician who is halfway through following it. Publishing promotes an existing revision rather than snapshotting, so a publish with unsaved edits cannot ship a version nobody reviewed. Restoring writes a new revision with old content, so the record of what people were told in between survives. Saves dedup on a content hash covering title, summary, tags and blocks, so an autosave that changed nothing writes no version - otherwise the history fills with identical entries and hides the three edits that mattered. Progress lives in the browser, not the database: shopfloor PCs share a login, so per-user ticks would show one technician's progress to the next person on that bay, which reads as "already done". Keyed by guide and version, because step 4 of version 3 is not step 4 of version 2. Five permissions, and the split between edit and publish is the point: a technician can write a procedure up while somebody else decides it is fit for the floor. create-without-edit works too - an author may edit their own guide until it is published, after which other people are following it. |

Ship one name per vendor, and stop shipping a test row
Canonical names chosen by the site: Dell Inc., HP, Zebra. The rule is the same in each case - keep the spelling that holds the entries - it just lands on a different form per company. Dell Inc. carries 310 references and 33 models against 1 apiece for Dell and DellInc.; HP carries 51 and 24 while HP Inc. has none; Zebra carries 7 and 2 while Zebra Technologies has none. So HP Inc. and Zebra Technologies are gone from the shipped catalog. Both were empty rows that only ever offered a second way to spell a vendor already present, and neither exists in this site's database at all - they would have arrived as duplicates at a NEW site and nowhere else. Also removed UnscopedLiveVendor, which is a test artifact. It reached the catalog because export_catalog.py reads the live development database, so a row left behind by a lab run was published as reference data and has shipped to every site seeded since. Vendors 51 to 48. Verified nothing referenced any of the three before removing them, and the catalog still has no duplicates by any spelling. |

Stop shipping duplicate vendors, models and operating systems
The seed catalog is what a new site inherits, so its duplicates propagate. Removed the four space-stripped twins it carried: vendor 'DellInc.', model 'OptiPlex7080', and operating systems 'MicrosoftWindows10Enterprise' and 'Windows10', each of which had a correctly spaced original already present. 'OptiPlex5000' was NOT a duplicate - no spaced twin existed - so it was renamed to 'OptiPlex 5000' rather than dropped, matching every sibling in the list. Its vendor moved to 'Dell Inc.', which this site treats as the one canonical Dell. Vendors 53 to 51, models 128 to 127, operating systems 14 to 12. Verified afterwards: no exact duplicate rows, no near-duplicates, no orphaned model-to-vendor or supply-to-model reference. |

Merge catalog rows that are the same name typed two ways
The legacy data carried space-stripped twins: 'DellInc.' beside 'Dell Inc.', 'Windows10' beside 'Windows 10', 'OptiPlex7080' beside 'OptiPlex 7080'. They rode into the shipped seed catalog, so every site that ran `seed catalog` inherited them, and they stay invisible until somebody opens a vendor picker and finds the same company listed twice. Not a code fault. The collector strips only leading and trailing whitespace, matches with ilike, and treats the OS list as lookup-only, so it can neither have created these nor be creating more. They arrived with the classic-ASP import, which holds the same three pairs today. `flask catalog dedupe` merges only whitespace-and-punctuation twins, because those are one name typed two ways. 'Dell' and 'Dell Inc.' normalise apart and are left alone: that is a naming choice and only a person can make it. The surviving row is the most referenced, tie-broken toward the spaced spelling, which is the one somebody pressed the space bar for. `flask catalog merge` makes that judgment call explicitly, and refuses to invent a target that does not exist, so a typo cannot move rows into a new vendor. `flask catalog rename` handles the case neither can reach: a stripped name with NO twin, where there is nothing to merge into. All three report and change nothing unless --apply is passed, and dedupe is idempotent so it is safe in a deploy script. References are discovered from the LIVE schema rather than listed in code. There are 15 foreign keys into these three tables across 7 tables, and machines.controllervendorid and printerdrivers.modelnumberid are not ones anybody would enumerate by hand. Every reference is repointed before the row is deleted, so nothing is orphaned, and a plugin adding a table is covered without editing this command. |

Scaffold a plugin's frontend into the plugin, so it can be pruned
`flask plugin new` wrote views to frontend/src/views/<name>/ and a route file to frontend/src/router/routes/<name>.js. Every one of the 16 bundled plugins keeps its frontend in plugins/<name>/frontend/ instead, staged into .plugins-staged by stage-frontend.mjs and aggregated into routes.gen.js. It was not visibly broken, which is why it lasted: the router still globs ./routes/*.js during the Phase 4 dual-location transition, so a scaffolded plugin's pages loaded. What a new plugin author silently lost was ADR-013 lean builds. Pruning works off the staged tree, so a frontend in the core tree cannot be excluded from a site build, and deleting the plugin strands its views behind. The templates for the correct layout already existed; only the output paths were wrong. Also fixed the imports they carry: core imports now use the @ alias (@/api, @/components/...), which resolves both before and after staging, where the previous ../../api was correct only in the old location. Sibling views stay relative and travel with the route file. frontend_dir is gone from scaffold_plugin. There is no second output tree to point at, and a plugin developed in its own repo now gets the same frontend as a bundled one rather than being skipped. Proven end to end: scaffolded a throwaway plugin, confirmed it stages, builds real chunks, and that SITE_PLUGINS=network prunes it, which is what the old layout could not do. |

Open the record a search result found, not the list it sits in
A NOTICE result linked to /notifications, so clicking the row search had already identified dropped the reader on the list page to find it again by hand. The id was in the payload the whole time; only the URL ignored it. `/notifications/<id>` is the existing notification-detail route. The subnet searcher had the same defect two functions away: an IP search resolves which subnet the address falls inside, then linked to /network, the hub. It now links to /networks/<id>, the subnet detail route. Every other search result type already carried its id. These were the only two that did not. |

Let a baseline meet a table that is already there
Reported: `flask plugin upgrade-all` failed the tools plugin with "table securesendsecrets already exists". Every post-cutover baseline emitted a plain op.create_table. That is correct only while a table's existence and its plugin's Alembic stamp can never disagree, and they can. Anything that builds tables from the models - db.create_all(), which `flask db-utils create-all` calls - creates them and stamps nothing. A run that creates a table and then fails before its stamp commits leaves the same split, and re-running is the obvious thing to try. In both cases upgrade-all meets existing tables with an unstamped chain and the create is fatal. Nothing caught it because the migration test DROPS the post-cutover tables db.create_all() built before running upgrade-all. That arranges the one state where an unguarded create works, and never the state the report came from. The new test is the same sequence with the drop removed for the plugin under test. create_table_if_missing and create_index_if_missing are in alembic_template.py next to create_plugin_tables, which had the idempotency rule right and turns out to be called by nobody - its docstring claimed every 0001 used it. Fixed the docstring rather than rewiring the baselines onto it, because the reason they hand-write their DDL still stands: the helper's per-plugin MetaData cannot resolve a foreign key to a core table at CreateTable-compile time. INDEXES ARE MATCHED ON COLUMNS, NOT NAME, and that distinction matters. The two creators disagree about names - db.create_all() takes SQLAlchemy's default convention (ix_securesendsecrets_token) and a baseline spells it the way this repo's naming rules require (ixsecuresendsecretstoken). A name-keyed guard would have called the index missing and added a second one over the same column, which MySQL permits with a warning, so every affected site would have quietly grown duplicates. The test asserts no table ends up with two indexes over the same columns. Applied to all nine table-creating plugin migrations, not just the tools baseline that was reported: the four later migrations that create tables have the same exposure, and geenforce, measuringtools, printedparts and backups are the same defect waiting for a different site. WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX. It makes a baseline idempotent, not a whole chain. A longer chain can still meet an ALTER whose column is already present - printedparts adding gagelabtag to a table create_all built at head is the case that showed up while testing. Guarding every op one at a time is the wrong answer to that; a database built from the models is already AT head and its chains want stamping rather than replaying, and there is no `flask plugin stamp` today. Left alone deliberately rather than half-built, and the new test is scoped to single-baseline plugins so it does not pretend otherwise. |

Say that the subpath belongs in site_base_url, because it does
Answering "did I set it wrong": no. The setting was right and the description was misleading, which is what sent the last two commits chasing the wrong fix. It said "Public base URL of this site (scheme + host), e.g. https://shopdb.example.net". That is true only of a site mounted at the root. Both existing consumers append the in-app route to this value and add nothing themselves: `${await getSiteBaseUrl()}${config.detailPath(detailId)}` asset labels `${baseUrl}${defaultPath}` QR codes so a site served at /shopdb must carry that here or every QR code it prints 404s. The email copy of the same setting has always documented it correctly, as https://host/ops. The description now says so, and the comment above the defaults records why - including that a subpath left out produces links that fail rather than anything that looks like a configuration error. Existing rows keep the old text until a site reseeds; the value is unaffected. |

Hand somebody a password without leaving it in a chat window
The habit this replaces is pasting a credential into Teams, where it stays until someone deletes the conversation. Tabled on 2026-08-21 pending a decision about scope; the decision was text only, so this is the half that survives it. BACKEND ONLY. There is no page yet, so nothing here is reachable by a person. TEXT, NOT DOCUMENTS, and that shapes everything. Dropping files removed the export-control question entirely - a password is not technical data - along with blob storage, size and MIME handling, and the need to authenticate the recipient so a document fetch could be pinned to a name. TWO DOORS. Creating needs a login AND securesend.create: anonymous creation would be an untraceable way to move data out of a system that otherwise records who did what, and the creator is the only person these rows can ever name. Reading needs neither, because the recipient usually has no account here and the link is handed over on a call - the unguessable token IS the authorisation, which is why it is 128 bits of randomness and why the row is spent on first read. REDEEMING IS A POST, and that is the detail that would have broken this in practice. Teams, Outlook and Safe Links prefetch GET urls to build previews and scan for malware, so a GET that redeemed would let a preview window consume a secret before its recipient ever saw it. The GET route that remains reports only whether a link is still live, so the read page can say "opening this will destroy it" without spending the only view to find out. THE SIZE LIMIT IS THE WHOLE ENFORCEMENT. The key lives in the URL fragment, which browsers never transmit, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read and cannot tell a password from a page of a drawing. MAX_CIPHERTEXT is therefore not a tuning knob: raising it quietly turns this into the document transfer it was scoped not to be. The refusal says what the limit is FOR, because somebody hitting it is usually trying to send a file and the answer is a different tool. Line counts, file signatures and refusing a pasted file belong in the browser, guide an honest person, and are bypassable by anyone willing to POST directly. NOT ENUMERABLE. Missing, expired and spent all answer identically - telling them apart would confirm to anyone holding a guessed token whether it ever named anything. A spent or expired row is deleted on the way past rather than waiting for a sweeper, because it has no reason to keep its ciphertext. Its own plugin rather than a Tech Tool: that plugin is browser-only by design, and this needs storage, expiry and a view counter. Not an asset extension either, so no assetid and no asset type - the scaffold assumes one and it was removed. FOUND BY ITS OWN TESTS: expiryhours=0 returned 201. `int(x or DEFAULT)` treats an explicit zero as absent, so "expire immediately" silently became "expire in a day". A caller who sends a number is now told when it is not allowed rather than quietly given a different one. BEFORE ANYONE RELIES ON THIS, test that your link rewriter preserves URL fragments: create a secret, send the link to yourself in Teams, click it from the message, and check the key is still after the #. If Safe Links strips it the secret is unrecoverable and the server cannot help, which is the point of the design. The fallback is passphrase mode, worth building only if that test says so. Three product gates caught what a new plugin has to declare, and each was right to: the route-parity gate wanted the endpoints described in api-inventory.json, the lean-build guard wanted the plugin listed in the universal profile the released installer builds from, and the authz sweep wanted the public redeem route named in EXEMPT_ENDPOINTS with a reason. That last one matters most - a mutating route that answers an unauthenticated caller is a decision somebody has to write down, not a default, and reading a secret is a mutation because it spends it. |

Offer a spelling on every list, not just the global search
Correction only helped on the global search page, and people search from the list they are already on. Extending it turned out to be a shape question rather than a volume one: thirty routes take a search parameter across a dozen files, so carrying a suggestion in each of their responses is a large change today and one more thing every future plugin author has to remember. So the suggestion moved to ITS OWN ENDPOINT, /api/search/suggest, which any page can call after rendering no rows. A page that has not adopted it shows nothing, which is exactly what it showed before - nothing breaks by omission. The plumbing lives in useListQuery, which already owned the search term, so a list needs three lines: take `suggestion` and `reportCount` from the composable, call reportCount(rows.length) after a fetch, and drop SearchSuggestion into the empty state it already has. A list that never calls reportCount never offers a suggestion. Wired: global search, machines, printers, PCs, network devices, measuring tools, knowledge base, vendors. NOT wired, deliberately: the type and reference lists (machine types, PC types, VLANs, subnets, operating systems and the rest), which are small controlled vocabularies nobody typo-searches, and USB, whose empty state has a different shape and wants doing by hand rather than by pattern. TRAP FOUND WHILE WIRING IT, and left commented in every page: applying a suggestion by calling setSearch alone updates the box and the URL and does NOT reload the list. setSearch only syncs the URL, and the watcher that would reload is suppressed because search.value already holds the new term - the same trap the global search page documents in performSearch. Each page calls its own load function directly. The composable guards a stale answer arriving after a newer search was typed, never offers back the word that was typed, and swallows its own errors: a search that found nothing is already the answer, and failing to improve on it is not worth an error in front of anyone. The route-parity gate caught the new endpoint being served without an entry in docs/api-inventory.json, which is hand-written on purpose; added, and the spec regenerated from it (283 paths, 418 operations). That regeneration also carries the openapi version to 0.12.0, left over from the release. |

Record what nobody can find, and a spelling corrector that refuses to guess
Two halves of one question - how to handle a misspelled search - deliberately kept separate, because only one of them should be turned on today. WHAT NOBODY CAN FIND IS NOT RECORDED ANYWHERE. A search returning zero results is the only evidence of the gap between what people look for and what is there, and it vanished. Logged now at INFO with a stable prefix, so a week of it greps into a list. That list is what should decide whether correction is worth wiring in: multi-word matching and cross-field matching both changed in the last day, so a good share of what used to fail may already be found. The failures left over might be typos, or vocabulary nobody has entered, or records that genuinely do not exist - and each wants a different answer. THE CORRECTOR IS BUILT AND NOT WIRED IN. shopdb/core/services/spellfix.py, with tests, ready to attach in about ten lines once there is evidence about what to attach it to. NOT SOUNDEX, which was the obvious candidate. MySQL has it and SQLite does not, and the suite runs on SQLite while production runs MySQL - so a SOUNDEX() in a query is either an error in every test or a production path no test executes. It is also wrong for this data: soundex is English-name phonetics, four characters wide, and it DISCARDS DIGITS, so CSF16 and CSF17 hash identically. Half of what people search here is an identifier. So: character distance in Python, same behaviour on both dialects. THE VOCABULARY IS THE DATA. No dictionary holds Genspect, Telesis, Keyence or wax-trace. Terms come from the columns being searched, which also means a vendor added this morning is correctable this morning. TWO GUARDS, and they are the point rather than a detail. Digits must match EXACTLY: CSF16 to CSF17 is one edit and a different bay, so anything carrying digits is either right or not correctable - while cfs16 to csf16 still works, because the guard is on the digits and not on identifiers wholesale. And the first character must match, since typos land mid-word far more often than on the first key, which costs almost no recall. Distance is Damerau-Levenshtein so a transposition costs one edit rather than two - Keyecne for Keyence is the commonest error there is, and plain Levenshtein pushes it past the threshold on short words. Allowed distance scales with length. A tie returns NOTHING: two equally good candidates means there is no answer, and offering either implies a confidence that is not there. It suggests; it never rewrites. Silently searching for something else is how somebody orders the wrong cartridge. 13 tests, weighted toward the refusals, because those are the cases where being wrong costs something. |
