Three defects, all found on printedparts_label_prefix, all one root cause:
nothing in the framework knew that setting existed.
The parts kiosk runs logged out. An unauthenticated read of a setting is
limited to an allowlist, the key was not on it, so the kiosk got a 404 and
fell back to no prefix. An admin previewing the same page while logged in saw
the prefix, which is why it looked like it worked.
The same setting also looked like it would not save. The row did not exist on
a site that installed the plugin before the setting was added, so the first
save created it - under the placeholder category the settings API uses for
keys it does not recognise, where the plugin's settings page, which lists by
category, could no longer see it. The value was in the database the whole
time.
And the row was missing in the first place because seeding ran from
on_install / on_enable, which fire only on a state transition. Neither runs
again on an upgrade, so a setting added in a later plugin version never
reached a site that installed an earlier one. The comment claiming enable ran
every upgrade cycle was simply wrong.
A plugin now declares the settings it owns in get_settings_defaults(): key,
default, type, category, description, and whether a logged-out page may read
it. The framework seeds declared keys at install, at enable, and on every
flask plugin upgrade-all; files a first-time write under the declared
category; re-homes any row left in the placeholder category, value untouched;
and answers an anonymous read for keys marked public. Core carries no list of
any plugin's keys.
Contract 0.16.0 (additive optional hook). printedparts and printers move to
the hook and floor their core_version at 0.16.0. The dev database had two rows
in the misfiled state (printedparts_alert_email, employee_db_host); the first
repairs itself on the next upgrade pass.
A re-review showed the previous "single import choke point" claim was wrong:
`plugins` is a normal importable package, so core request handlers that do
`from plugins.<name>.models import ...` never passed through the loader and ran
unverified - an attacker who dropped a file into plugins/<name>/ got arbitrary
in-process code execution on an ordinary HTTP request (and a planted .pyc ran
from cache). Gating load_plugin_class covered only plugin.py, one path of many.
Fix: importguard.py installs a sys.meta_path finder (under enforcement) that
intercepts EVERY plugins.<name>.* import, verifies the plugin's signed
provenance once, then verifies each module file against it and execs the exact
bytes it hashed - read once, compiled, exec'd, never a .pyc, never a re-opened
file. This closes the submodule bypass and the planted-bytecode read, and the
read-once exec closes the verify-vs-exec TOCTOU on the import path. The import
system, not one method, is the real choke point.
- init_app installs the guard when PLUGIN_REQUIRE_SIGNED, clears it otherwise.
- load_plugin_class now verifies plugin.py from a single read and execs that
buffer (finding #3 on that file); its submodule imports flow through the guard.
- docs: stamp-bundled must cover every plugin dir present (a disabled plugin's
module can be imported by core); recommend a read-only plugins/ owned by the
deploy user as defense in depth (closes the residual migrate-time race an
attacker with concurrent write could otherwise attempt).
Earlier review's fixes#3 (migrate code paths) and #4 (shelf content binding)
were confirmed sound and are unchanged. 7 import-guard tests (submodule verify,
tamper, unsigned refused, planted .pyc ignored, real import through the guard,
install/uninstall). 1061 pass, naming green.
An adversarial security review of the Phase 2 trust model found four real
bypasses (two remote-triggerable to in-process code execution). Root cause for
three: the set of bytes verification covered was smaller than the set that
determined execution. Fixes:
1. Bytecode-cache blind spot (CRITICAL). verify_dir excluded __pycache__/.pyc,
so a planted cache ran while escaping the hash map. verify_dir now flags any
bytecode as an unexpected file; the loader strips bytecode before verify and
imports under sys.dont_write_bytecode, so only verified source executes.
2. Unauthenticated verify-at-load bypass (CRITICAL). load_plugin_class imported
plugin.py with no gate, reachable via discover_available / an anonymous GET
/api/plugins. The verify+strip gate moved INTO load_plugin_class - the single
import choke point every path flows through - so an unsigned/tampered plugin
is never imported. discover_available skips a refused plugin instead of 500.
3. Ungated migration entrypoints (HIGH). downgrade_plugin and get_current_head
(ScriptDirectory imports version modules) ran plugin code with no check. All
alembic-invoking methods now pass through _verify_ok (strip + verify) first
and run under no-bytecode.
4. Revocation/content bypass (HIGH). The signed index bound a filename, not
content; adopt did not bind the delivered bytes to the resolved version, so
revoked bytes could be served under a live filename. The index now records a
per-artifact SHA-256; adopt verifies the on-disk digest and requires the
artifact's own signed manifest version to equal the resolved version.
Enforcement stays default-off; strip/no-bytecode run only under enforcement, so
the unsigned path is unchanged. 6 regression tests (planted bytecode, the
discover import path, downgrade gate, version-swap). 1054 pass, naming green.
Completes the marketplace security model. Verification stops being advisory:
a plugin only loads or migrates when its tree matches a trusted signature, and
plugins are pulled from a signed shelf with anti-rollback and revocation.
Enforcement (default OFF - existing deploys unchanged):
- verification.py PluginVerifier, shared by the loader (verify-at-load, before
plugin.py is imported) and the migration manager (verify-at-migrate, before
any DDL). Fail-closed: an unsigned/tampered/wrong-key plugin does not run.
- Gated by PLUGIN_REQUIRE_SIGNED. PLUGIN_DEV_TRUST_DIRS exempts named dirs but
only under DEBUG/TESTING; production ignores it.
- flask plugin stamp-bundled writes provenance into in-tree plugins so
verify-at-load applies to bundled plugins too (image build step).
- tier:core manifest guard: uninstall/disable refuse a core-tier plugin.
Shelf (shelf.py):
- Signed shelf-index.json (+ .sig): monotonic serial (a site refuses an older
index - anti-rollback), revoked list carried across builds, per-entry
version/tier/core_version for browse. Index is a browse layer only; adopt
reads security-bearing fields from the verified artifact.
- flask plugin shelf-build / shelf-list / adopt / audit. adopt verifies index +
artifact (signature + every file hash), unpacks to staging, re-verifies, then
atomically moves into place and installs+enables the closure. Refuses a
downgrade without --force-downgrade. Anti-rollback serial stored in
instance/shelf-state.json.
- config PLUGIN_SHELF_DIR; the app only reads the folder, never speaks a
network. .env.example + docs/PLUGIN-SIGNING.md document the flow.
22 tests: verifier policy (off / no-keys / signed / tampered / wrong-key /
dev-exempt), verify-at-load + verify-at-migrate integration, tier guard, index
sign/verify + tamper/wrong-key, serial state, revocation, version resolution,
verified atomic unpack + tamper refusal. Live-smoked keygen->pack->shelf-build
->list->adopt->audit + serial guard. 1050 pass, naming green.
Additive, zero-risk-to-running-sites prep for the plugin catalog. No
distribution or lean-build behavior yet; fixes latent bugs and adds the
declarative + validate tooling later phases build on.
Fixes:
- upgrade_all_plugins iterates registry.get_all(); only adopted plugins are
migrated. Removes the phantom hasattr(registry, 'list_installed') probe
that always fell through to migrating every folder on disk (unadopted DDL
ran with full DB rights on every deploy).
- Reverse-dependency checks on uninstall/disable read dependencies from the
manifest on disk via _installed_dependents, so an installed-but-unloaded or
disabled dependent is counted. Uninstall blocks on any installed dependent;
disable blocks on an enabled dependent.
- _sort_by_dependencies detects a dependency cycle (back edge in the DFS) and
raises PluginDependencyError instead of looping or dropping a plugin.
New:
- flask plugin validate <name>: manifest loads + name match, manifest-schema
check, core_version admits the framework contract, declared dependencies
exist on disk. No new dependency (lightweight checker); schema ships in the
package at shopdb/plugins/manifest_schema.json (docs/ is stripped on
publish). The check caught that provides is an object, not an array.
- flask plugin apply-profile <file>: declarative install AND enable of a
chosen plugin set plus its hard-dependency closure, in dependency order,
idempotent. Replaces the hand-ordered runbook sequences that could enable a
plugin that was never installed. deploy/site-profile.example.json template.
- Dockerfile header corrected (all 13 catalog plugins, not "eleven core").
10 new lifecycle tests (reverse-deps from disk, cycle detection, upgrade-all
scope, profile closure, schema, all 13 manifests match schema). 1018 pass,
naming green.
Plugins list now carries a displayname (manifest display_name, else the
machine name title-cased). Adds display_name to the four whose title-case
was wrong: GE-Enforce, USB, Measuring Tools, Knowledge Base. The setup
wizard Features step and Settings > Plugins render it, so "Geenforce"/"Usb"
are gone.
Finish step shows a pointer when GE-Enforce is enabled: it still needs a
scoped service token (Settings > API Tokens) and a share export root
(GE-Enforce page) before the fleet uses it - operational config the wizard
does not collect.
frontend build green; naming green.

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.

Framework:
- Per-plugin Alembic migration chains (ADR-008): every bundled plugin
carries its own chain with a stamp-only anchor at the ownership cutover;
new plugin schema lands in plugins/<name>/migrations/, never the core
chain. Deploys add flask plugin upgrade-all. Fixed a latent bug in the
shared alembic template (engine URL resolution) and taught the metadata
filter to include FK-referenced core tables.
- Frontend plugin route gating (ADR-009): plugin routes carry meta.plugin;
a disabled plugin's pages redirect to the dashboard via a cached,
fail-open check against the new public GET /api/plugins/enabled.
- get_reports() plugin hook (contract 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0): plugins contribute
report cards; warranty and toner cards moved off the hardcoded list.
Reports:
- Hub grouped by category with search; inline reports render at the top,
are URL-backed (?report=id, back-button and deep links work), expose
their server-side filter params as controls, and export CSV. Warranty
and Toner pages gained CSV export.
- Deleted the dead legacy Warranty Status report (always-zero buckets
from a retired column).
Theming and fonts:
- Inter (variable) bundled locally via @fontsource, replacing the Google
Fonts Roboto import - air-gapped installs now render correctly; tables
use tabular numerals.
- Optional brand_primary_dark_color, brand_accent_color,
brand_sidebar_color settings applied to CSS vars at bootstrap.
USB frontend repair (views were reading a dead legacy shape):
- List/detail/form and the employee profile USB panels remapped to the
real API shape (device_id/device_desc/checkinoutlog); employee panels
now use /usb/checkouts endpoints; external-mode /usb/checkouts/active
honors the badge filter; dead client methods pruned.
Also: warranties list page no longer requires login (matches app
convention); collector doc rewritten with a GE-Enforce integration guide
and paste-ready PowerShell reporter; ADR index and CHANGELOG updated.
Verified: 323 tests pass, naming/style green, frontend builds, plugin
migration dry-run green on scratch MySQL.

Both plugins provision extra tables, so they now install disabled and explain
themselves before a site opts in.
- Plugin contract gains get_provisioning_note() -> {tables, note, docs}.
Employees and USB implement it (what tables get created in shopdb, how they
are referenced, link to the schema README; USB references the captured
DLP/reminder plans).
- Manifest default_enabled=false for employees + usb; the plugins list API
returns provisioning_note + default_enabled; install now registers a plugin
disabled when default_enabled is false.
- Setup wizard Features step renders the provisioning note the moment a plugin
with one is enabled.

- Plugin contract gains get_config_schema(); the plugins list API returns it.
Employees plugin declares its directory-DB fields (host/name/user + password).
- employee_connection reads host/name/user settings-first (env fallback); the
password stays env-only.
- Setup wizard Features step renders each enabled plugin's config: non-secret
fields save to settings; secrets are never stored - the wizard emits .env
lines to paste. Fixed the plugins-list data path (data.plugins).
- Settings PUT now upserts (creates the row on first write) so plugin-config
keys can be saved without pre-seeding.

Verification audit (re-run of the 6 skill lenses) confirmed the prior fixes hold
and surfaced a few misses:
Security (HIGH):
- search.py _check_smart_redirect still opened a raw pymysql connection with
root/rootpassword (reachable on any 9-digit SSO query). Now uses the shared
env-backed employee_connection helper.
- Deleted dead shopdb/core/services/employee_service.py (zero importers; carried
another root/rootpassword literal). No hardcoded credentials remain in app
logic; config.py dev defaults stay gated by ProductionConfig.validate.
Dead hook:
- get_services was implemented by the printers plugin but had no consumer (docs
claimed otherwise). Added PluginManager.get_service(name) that resolves a
service from enabled plugins; updated PLUGIN-HOOKS.md.
Tests:
- search disabled-plugin exclusion (the high-value gap): enabled plugin's
hostname appears, disabled plugin's hostname drops out (searched by a hostname
distinct from assetnumber so only the gated domain can match).
- get_service consumer test (unknown name -> None).
Simplify:
- Extract the triplicated GE_LOGO_SVG + loadLogo + drawLogoOverlay into shared
frontend/src/views/print/qrLogo.js (renderQrDataUrl); both QR views use it.
- applications.py: lift the misplaced pagination import to the top; drop unused
Computer unpacking in the 3 endpoints that only touch ComputerInstalledApp.
154 tests pass, naming/style green, app boots, QR render verified.

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.

enable_plugin called register_blueprint at runtime, which Flask forbids after
the first request (AssertionError -> 500). Enabling now flips the registry flag
and fires on_enable best-effort; routes register on the next restart, symmetric
with disable. Nav reflects the re-enable immediately.

Each of the six bundled plugins (computers, equipment, network,
notifications, printers, usb) now has its own Alembic chain with a
baseline migration. Sister sites adopting one of these plugins can
manage its schema via `flask plugin migrate <name>` instead of relying
on db.create_all to bootstrap everything.
Existing single-site deploys that bootstrap via db.create_all continue
to work unchanged. The chains coexist; the bootstrap path stays the
operator's choice.
Framework
- shopdb/plugins/alembic_template.py: shared env.py logic + helpers.
PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS pins which tables belong to which plugin (explicit
registry, not import-side-effect). _get_plugin_metadata filters
db.metadata to only the named plugin's tables. create_plugin_tables /
drop_plugin_tables emit DDL via SQLAlchemy CreateTable so the table
definitions stay sourced from the models, not duplicated.
- shopdb/plugins/__init__.py: PluginManager.upgrade_all_plugins() runs
pending migrations across every discovered plugin and returns a status
dict. Idempotent (Alembic skips applied revisions).
CLI
- `flask plugin upgrade-all` runs pending migrations for every plugin.
Used on a fresh deploy after the core schema is in place.
Per-plugin scaffolding
- plugins/{computers,equipment,network,notifications,printers,usb}/
migrations/{alembic.ini, env.py, script.py.mako, versions/0001_baseline.py}
- Each env.py is a 5-line shim that sets PLUGIN_NAME and delegates to
the shared template. Each 0001_baseline calls create_plugin_tables(name)
/ drop_plugin_tables(name); no duplication of column definitions.
Tests
- tests/test_plugin_migrations.py (18 cases): every bundled plugin has
an entry in PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS, has the on-disk Alembic scaffolding,
and the filtered MetaData contains every owned table (catches drift
between the template's table list and what the models declare).
- 129 tests pass.
