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.
The section headings were derived from position ranges: 10-29 became Assets,
30-49 became Information. A number is for ORDER; it was never a statement about
meaning, and using it as one meant a plugin landed in whichever bucket its
number happened to fall in.
That is how USB Devices - an asset - came to sit under Information beside
GE-Enforce and Tech Tools, and 3D Parts with it. Nobody chose that. It also
meant two plugins picking the same number silently reordered each other:
Warranties and Guides both held 8, the tie broke on plugin load order, and
Guides rendered under Warranties rather than under Slides where it was asked to
go. Warranties moves to 9.
Each nav item now names its section and the renderer groups by what was
declared. An item with no section stays in the unlabelled group at the top,
which is the safe default: it appears, it is simply not filed.
Assets gains USB Devices and 3D Parts. GE-Enforce and Tech Tools move to a new
Fleet section - they are neither assets nor reference material, and calling them
Information was only ever an artefact of their position numbers.
Also: sorting used `position || 99`, and 0 is falsy in JavaScript, so Dashboard -
the only item that uses 0 - sorted to the end of its own group.
Plugins declare their own RBAC permissions instead of core accumulating
them: 36 permissions moved out of the core catalog into the 9 owning
plugins (core keeps the 19 its own blueprints enforce). The catalog is
resolved dynamically (core + enabled plugins) and feeds the roles grid,
the token scope picker and ceiling, and flask seed permissions;
installing or enabling a plugin seeds its permissions automatically. A
disabled plugin drops out of the assignable catalog while existing role
links keep working. New plugins - bundled or external - now bring their
permissions with zero core edits.
781 tests pass; live-verified with a machines.edit-scoped token.

API tokens: any user mints named, optionally-expiring tokens
(shopdb_pat_..., sha256-stored, secret shown once) at Settings > API
Tokens; a before-request shim swaps a valid PAT for a request-scoped
JWT of its owner, so the entire existing auth/authz/import-mode stack
works unchanged and revoked/expired tokens 401 cleanly. Built for
long-running scripts - the legacy import no longer dies when a login
JWT expires. Migration 7d21_apitokens; create/revoke audit-logged.
Audited integration gaps fixed: Asset.to_dict serializes measuring
tools (typedata + pluginid - relationship links to tools resolve); map
subtype filter/colors and MapEditor include them; dashboard totals
count them; warranty links use a new by-asset route; the measuringtools
ADR-010 hooks are real (corrected presentation token, implemented
map-overlay endpoint); the login avatar resolves through the
employee-photo helper.
737 tests pass; naming green; frontend builds; both features verified
live end-to-end.

Four data-only hooks on BasePlugin (get_settings_cards,
get_asset_panels, get_map_overlays, get_asset_presentation) with a
GET-only /api/pluginui consumer surface copying the dashboard-widgets
semantics. Pilots: warranty declares its asset panel; measuringtools
supplies its settings card, presentation, and calibration overlay -
the last hardcoded settings-nav entry is now hook-sourced. Generic
renderers for panels/overlays/presentation deferred per the ADR's
incremental adoption plan (documented in CONTRACT-STABILITY.md).

Gage-lab instruments as Asset extensions: measuringtooltypes (color-coded
lookup) + measuringtools (calibration interval/dates, provider, notes) with
calibration status derived at read time (overdue / due soon / current /
unknown), never stored. Full CRUD API with permission-gated writes, types
management with in-use guard, calibration report, nav/reports/config-schema
hooks, and a complete frontend (list/detail/form, types settings page,
calibration report page, gated routes per ADR-009).
First plugin whose migration chain really creates tables post-cutover
(ADR-008), and the working example for docs/PLUGIN-GUIDE.md - a 12-section
walkthrough of building a plugin on this framework, linked from
PLUGIN-QUICKSTART and PLUGINS.
Verified: full suite 323 passing, live E2E on all four pages, fresh
scratch-MySQL migration dry-run green.
