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.
Scope: product
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
"All assets 704" sat beside "all assets in use 737", and both were correct
about different populations. The totals summed five specific asset types and
subtracted dual-bay secondaries; the status counts took every asset row of any
type with no collapse, so USB devices and hidden secondary bays inflated one
side of a comparison the layout invites. Status is now counted over exactly the
same assets the totals describe.
Warranty rows fell back to asset.name when the covered asset had no hostname,
and an asset's name is usually the MACHINE's descriptive name - which is how a
column meant to identify a PC ended up showing a machine. Hostname, else the
asset number, never the name. The machine number loses its label too: the row
is hostname, machine, state, and "machine 3015" spends a word on what position
already conveys.
Printer names now carry the floor-plan preview on hover, the same
LocationMapTooltip the printer's own page uses - a location name tells you the
room, the map tells you where to walk. Declared as map.maphover on the card, so
any card with coordinates gets it; a row without them shows a plain link rather
than being dropped.
Cards are four across rather than five. At five columns a row holding a
hostname, a machine number and a state truncates on exactly the rows that
matter. auto-fit, so two cards fill the width instead of leaving empty tracks.
Not covered by a test: the count fix. I started one and it was interrupted, and
I have not gone back for it - the assertion worth having is that in-use can
never exceed the total.
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.

Most facilities consider a Dualpath pair one physical dual-bay machine.
New site setting dualpath_single_machine (default on): the machines
list, dashboard counts, machines-by-type report, and floor map collapse
each pair to its primary bay (lower assetnumber), with combined
2007 / 2008 labels; pagination totals stay honest. Detail pages remain
per-bay and always show a dual-bay sibling banner linking the partner.
Pair resolution lives in core services and joins the plugin contract
surface (0.8.0 -> 0.9.0).
On the WJ dataset: 31 pairs collapse, machine counts 262 -> 231, map
470 assets. Toggle verified live in both states, left on.

The equipment plugin is now the machines plugin, ending the UI-vs-code
vocabulary split while the contract is pre-1.0 and nothing external
depends on the old names.
- plugins/equipment -> plugins/machines: manifest, class, /api/machines,
machines.* permissions, registry key (with an auto-migrating load shim
for existing installs).
- Tables: equipment -> machines (equipmentid -> machineid) and
equipmenttypes -> machinetypes, renamed in the plugin's own migration
chain (machines0002rename), idempotent for both upgrading and fresh
installs.
- The legacy core machinetypes lookup actually types the vendor MODELS
catalog, so it is renamed losslessly to modeltypes
(models.modeltypeid, /api/modeltypes, Model Types settings page)
rather than collapsed, freeing the machinetypes name. Core migration
7d17_machines_rename also flips data in place: assettypes row
equipment -> machine, auditlog entitytype, identifier_/search_
settings keys, permission rows, and renames alembic_version_equipment.
- Frontend: machinesApi/modeltypesApi, item.machine response shape,
assettype value compares 'equipment' -> 'machine' (map, search,
custom fields, relationships), routes machines.js with plugin gating
retagged, /print/machine-badge, Machine Types (subtypes) and Model
Types (catalog) settings pages, machines-by-type report id.
- Docs swept; ADRs left as history per the authoring rule.
Upgrade: flask db upgrade then flask plugin upgrade-all.
Verified: dev DB flipped live (262 machines, 35 modeltypes, 95 models
retyped, zero equipment tables remain); fresh scratch-MySQL install
produces the new names; 341 tests green; naming/style green; frontend
builds; live E2E on machines list/detail, PC relationships, map,
reports, and both settings pages.

Make the app distributable to other GE Aerospace sites (one self-hosted
instance per site, ADR-004). GE values remain the shipped defaults; every
site-specific behavior is now a Setting an admin can change in the UI.
Settings-driven site config:
- Branding: site/QR/badge logos, favicon, primary color (upload endpoints
mirror the map-blueprint pattern; new Settings > Branding section).
- ServiceNow: search/incident/change URL templates ({ticket}), ticket
prefixes, enable toggle. Defaults point at the current
geaerospaceqa.service-now.com global search. Disabled = plain-text tickets.
- Employee-id regex (employeeid_pattern), printer hostname template,
QR label targets (qr_target_printer / qr_target_usb, blank = asset page,
else URL template with placeholders), usb_label_style (barcode|qr).
- West Jefferson floor-plan PNGs removed from the tree; generic placeholder
ships as the map default and sites upload their own blueprint.
Security closeout:
- dashboarddefaults writes now require admin.
- Collector: generic error messages (no str(exc) leak); API key accepted
via X-API-Key header only (BREAKING: querystring api_key removed).
- IP-based login rate limiting (AUTH_RATELIMIT_* knobs) atop account lockout.
- Setting.set() creation race fixed (IntegrityError retry).
Release engineering and docs:
- __version__ 0.5.0 (distinct from __contract_version__, ADR-007),
CHANGELOG.md, Gitea Actions CI config, frontend version aligned.
- One wizard-first install story across README/DEPLOY; new CONFIG.md,
UPGRADE.md, BACKUP-RESTORE.md; CLAUDE.md and ROADMAP de-staled.
- Dockerfile multi-stage build now bundles the frontend; compose binds
MySQL to 127.0.0.1; stale database/schema.sql and one-off SQL removed.
Debt and fixes:
- .query.get() -> db.session.get() sweep; datetime.utcnow() removed
(naive-UTC via timezone-aware now); users.py on authz decorators.
- Fixed 4 stale tests (slides feed shape, shopfloor splitperemployee,
plugin contract purity) and the USB label page field mapping (both usb
modes emit the cmmc shape: device_id/device_desc).
- Health endpoint reports the real version.
248 tests pass; naming/style check green; frontend builds; fresh-DB
flask db upgrade + seeds verified; QR targets verified by decoding
rendered codes.

First feature extracted from core into a plugin per "plugin is the product",
mirroring the notifications plugin. KB is a NON-asset plugin: it contributes a
model + blueprint + nav item but registers no AssetType.
- plugins/knowledgebase/: manifest.json (api_prefix /api/knowledgebase, no deps),
models/ (KnowledgeBase, contract-pure imports via shopdb.api), api/ (the
blueprint, same routes/prefix so the frontend is unchanged), plugin.py
(get_blueprint + get_models + get_navigation_items).
- De-cored: removed shopdb/core/models/knowledgebase.py + api/knowledgebase.py,
their __init__ exports, and 'knowledgebase' from CORE_BLUEPRINT_NAMES; dropped
the hardcoded KB nav item from dashboard.py (now via the plugin nav hook).
- search.py and reports.py lazy-import KnowledgeBase from the plugin and degrade
gracefully (search skips via _require_enabled when disabled; kb-popularity
report returns 503 if the plugin is absent).
- Registered in instance/plugins.json (enabled).
The knowledgebase table stays in the core Alembic chain (bundled-plugin schema
folded into core, ADR-004); the model just maps it. KB was never in the
shopdb.api contract surface, so no __contract_version__ bump.
Pinned with characterization tests first (test_knowledgebase.py); they pass
unchanged against the plugin blueprint. 163 tests pass, naming green, app boots
7 bundled plugins, KB endpoint/nav/search verified live.

Architectural pass from the skill review ("plugin is the product" boundary).
Core no longer imports plugin models at module load (was a hard import-time
dependency that broke core if the computers plugin was absent/disabled):
- collector.py, applications.py, reports.py: lazy + guarded imports of the
computers plugin models. Endpoints that need install-tracking now return 503
when the plugin is absent instead of failing at import.
Search honors runtime enable/disable:
- search.py: _require_enabled(name) raises ImportError for a disabled plugin,
so each plugin-scoped block skips it (a disabled plugin's rows leave search).
- Replace hardcoded root/rootpassword employee-DB connection in _search_employees
with the shared env-backed employee_connection helper.
Plugin hooks (integrating-plugin-hooks: every hook needs a consumer):
- get_dashboard_widgets: add the consumer GET /api/dashboard/widgets (5 plugins
already implemented the hook; it had none). Skips disabled, isolates in prod.
- get_searchable_fields: REMOVED. Zero plugins implemented it and there was no
consumer; global search is a core concern over the asset model. Contract
reduction, __contract_version__ 0.3.0 -> 0.4.0.
Docs/contract: PLUGIN-HOOKS.md (widgets consumer note, searchable-fields removal,
0.4.0), PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md, ADR-001 hook list. Tests: widgets endpoint
aggregate + disabled-skip; contract tests for the removed/added hooks.
151 tests pass, naming/style green, app boots all 6 plugins.

Addresses findings from a 6-lens review against the project skills
(defining-asset-contract, enforcing-plugin-contract, hardening-flask-config,
integrating-plugin-hooks, pinning-flask-behavior, simplifying-python).
Security (hardening-flask-config):
- Load per-plugin COLLECTOR_API_KEY_<PLUGIN> from env in create_app. from_object
only copies class attributes, so per-plugin keys (ADR-006) were dead in real
deploys and silently fell back to the shared key.
- EMPLOYEE_DB_USER/PASSWORD no longer default to root/rootpassword (no safe
default for a secret; unset fails loud). Documented in .env.example + DEPLOY.md.
- COLLECTOR_API_KEY + per-plugin + EMPLOYEE_DB_* added to .env.example/DEPLOY.md.
Hook isolation (integrating-plugin-hooks):
- collector _collector_plugins and dashboard get_navigation now re-raise in
dev/test and log+isolate in prod, instead of silently swallowing a broken
plugin hook.
Plugin loader (enforcing-plugin-contract):
- enable_plugin/install_plugin read dependencies+version from the manifest
instead of instantiating the plugin class.
- _register_plugin_components rejects a second plugin claiming an already-used
api_prefix (reset per app in init_app).
Tests (pinning-flask-behavior):
- test_identifiers.py: gauge/maintenance round-trip on computer/printer/network
create+update; per-type seed yields the 12 identifier keys.
- contract tests for apply_collector_payload presence + schema-declarers-implement.
- security tests for per-plugin key env loading + no employee-db password default.
Docs/contract sync (defining-asset-contract):
- PLUGIN-HOOKS.md documents apply_collector_payload; stale 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0.
- ADR-006 documents apply_collector_payload + single-dispatch rationale.
- ADR-001 enumerates the expanded shopdb.api import surface.
Simplify (simplifying-python):
- De-duplicate the 21-entry settings defaults: shared build_default_settings()
used by both the /settings/seed route and the CLI (were drifting copies).
- Remove dead AssetStatus import + redundant AssetType local import in computers
plugin; comment the statusid=1 collector default.
153 tests pass (was 145), naming/style green.

The nav endpoint now skips disabled plugins (checks the registry), so disabling
a plugin removes it from the menu right away without a restart. Its API routes
remain registered until the next restart (Flask cannot unregister a blueprint
at runtime), but users no longer see links to it.

- Dashboard counts assets by type/status (Asset/AssetType/AssetStatus); adds
a printer count to the totals.
- Software-compliance and pc-relationships reports query Computer /
ComputerInstalledApp / assetrelationships instead of Machine.
Removes the dashboard + reports read dependency on the Machine model. (The
software-compliance report has a separate pre-existing bug: Application has no
isrequired field, so it errors before the query runs - unrelated to this change.)
