Every network device on this fleet already follows one convention, applied by
hand: AP-<name>, SW-<name>, SVR-<name>, IDF-<name>. 45 records, no exceptions.
The create form demanded the asset number anyway, so the same value was typed
twice and the convention held only as long as everyone remembered it.
The prefix now lives on the device type, and a blank asset number is generated
as <PREFIX>-<name>. Left explicit, an asset number always wins: a device
carrying a real identifier of its own - a vendor tag, a controller name, a
serial - keeps it. That is the platform rule, adopt where an identifier exists
and derive only where none does.
The prefix is NOT derived from the type name. "Access Point" and "Access Panel"
both initialise to AP, and assetnumber is unique, so the second type would
collide with the first on every device it created. It is nullable, so a type
that wants no prefix generates the bare name rather than needing one invented.
Names are sanitised before they reach a business key - the existing data
already shows why, with IDF-Telco-Demarc-#1 carrying a '#' into an identifier.
An existing prefix is never stacked: IDF-03 under type IDF stays IDF-03.
Three faults around vendor-model photos, found while looking at why an uploaded
image did not appear.
Saving a model was blocked after uploading a photo. The Image URL field was
type="url", and an upload sets it to an application path such as
/api/models/image/model-120.png. Native url validation demands an absolute URL
with a scheme, so the browser refused to submit the form with "Please enter a
URL" for a value the page had just written itself. The field is now type="text",
which is what it always needed to be: it holds either a full web address or a
path on this server. documentationurl stays type="url".
The upload button did not appear when adding a model, only when editing one.
That was deliberate - the photo is stored as model-<id>.<ext>, so it cannot be
sent before the record has an id - but it reads as a missing feature, and the
hint explaining it was easy to miss. A photo chosen while creating is now held
and uploaded as soon as the model is saved, and it is dropped if the dialog is
cancelled, so it cannot land on the next model created in the same session.
Network devices could never show a photo. NetworkDeviceDetail.vue binds its hero
image to networkdevice.imageurl, but networkdevices carried only vendorid, with
no link to a catalog model, so nothing could populate it - a feature that looked
present and could not work. Machines, PCs and printers have carried
modelnumberid since July. This adds the same column and relationship, the
to_dict branch that exposes modelname and imageurl, the field on the API, and a
Model selector on the form so the link can actually be set.
The migration is guarded the same way employees0002photo is: on a fresh database
the tables come from the SQLAlchemy models, which already declare the column, so
an unconditional add fails with "duplicate column name". The foreign key is
created only on databases that can add one by ALTER; routing it through
batch_alter_table made Alembic's column sort raise "Circular dependency
detected" on the fresh-database test.
Deploying this needs `flask db upgrade` and `flask plugin upgrade-all` on the
server, not just a file copy.
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.

The core chain already owns and reproduces the full bundled schema (deploys run
`flask db upgrade` only). The per-plugin Alembic baselines duplicated those
tables, so `flask plugin upgrade-all` would conflict - a footgun. Remove the 6
bundled plugin migration dirs; the per-plugin Alembic helpers
(alembic_template, PluginMigrationRunner) remain for external/filesystem
plugins. upgrade-all now cleanly no-ops for bundled plugins.

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.
