Untrusting or half-deployed agents that fail the TLS handshake retry in a loop. With 4 blocking sync workers a few of them pinned every worker, and real UI requests queued for 20+ seconds while CPU sat idle. Switch to gthread (4 workers x 8 threads) and drop the timeout to 30s so a stuck connection frees its thread quickly and one misbehaving client cannot exhaust request capacity.
The base compose file is the wilm/dev-be source build; stable and edge ship through the pull/airgap files. A raw source build is never a release, so default SHOPDB_ENV_LABEL to DEV here while leaving it overridable from .env.
The site-agent bundle now includes uninstall-shopdbagent.ps1 so operators can cleanly remove an install without hunting for the repo script. The packaging route reads it from scripts/, which was not mounted into the api container, so add a read-only ./scripts:/app/scripts mount (recreate the container to apply).
install.ps1 now registers the tray to autostart for every user via the HKLM Run value ShopDbEndpointTray, adds an All-Users 'ShopDB Agent' Start Menu shortcut for manual relaunch, and launches the tray once post-install. The tray enforces a single instance via a Global named mutex so repeated launches no longer stack duplicate icons. The uninstaller removes the Start Menu shortcut alongside the existing Run key and credential cleanup.
Terminate TLS in gunicorn using a host-generated cert mounted read-only under ./certs, so the browser sees a secure context. Secure-context-only web APIs (navigator.clipboard and others) refuse to run over plain http on a non-localhost origin, which the FQDN-accessed test box hits. Healthcheck now probes https with -k to match the TLS listener. A site swaps in its own cert or fronts this with its own IIS/nginx proxy.
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.
Assign printers to a MACHINE and let whichever PC controls it install them, with
the observed half kept strictly apart from the assigned half: a collector report
can never write an assignment row. Adoption is explicit. Adds a singular
relationship type so defaultprinter can mean exactly one, client scripts that
converge a bay's queues and correct a drifted one in place, and a wave gate so a
fleet-wide driver rollout cannot stampede its own share.
On the container side: the compose stack never persisted the instance directory,
so a rebuild discarded plugins.json and every upload. It is a volume now, the
image ships instance/ owned by the app user so the mountpoint is writable, and
the database moves to MySQL 8.4 LTS, which the Windows runbook has recommended
since 8.0 went end of life. The image also could not build at all: the frontend
stage never copied the plugin staging script it runs.
Adds a topology migration guide covering IIS to Docker and back.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
