4ef22b6579 Make the Fleet list answer the question it exists for
The fleet list showed hostname, user, uptime, CPU, memory and last-reported,
sorted by last-reported descending. Two of those columns have never held a
value, and that sort floats the healthiest endpoints to the top and buries the
ones somebody needs to act on.

What a shop-floor fleet view is actually for is which MACHINE stops if a PC is
dead, so that is now a column. Both edge directions are checked, deduplicated,
and constrained to assets typed 'machine' - without that last filter the column
filled up with office locations that happen to carry a controls edge.

Also here:

  - Sorted WORST FIRST: never reported, then quiet, then reporting. Expressed
    as a sortable SQL rank rather than a label applied after the fact, so the
    order survives pagination.
  - Health rollup as a PHRASE, not a score: 'eDNC stopped', '2 critical'. A
    percentage does not tell an operator what to do.
  - Filters for status, PC type, location and business unit; a sort parameter
    (the route accepted none); and search widened from hostname alone to asset
    number and the machine number a PC serves, which is how people actually
    look a bay up.
  - CPU and Memory columns dropped. The agent declares those fields and has
    never assigned them, so they rendered '-' on every row.
  - A summary strip wired to the dashboard routes, which existed and which
    nothing called.

Two bugs found while building it:

The health rollup first read a 'running' boolean, but service rows carry a
STATE STRING and the vocabulary varies by source, so every service would have
reported as stopped. The panel and the rollup now share one _service_running()
helper; two copies of that rule would drift.

The summary counted quiet as total - reporting, which folded never-reported
endpoints in with quiet ones. Those are different failures - an enrolment or
key problem versus a machine that went down - so 'never' is counted separately.

Per-page batching for machines and critical-event counts: three queries per
page rather than two per row.

Full suite 2124 passed, vitest 260 passed, naming and contract gates green.

get_pagination_params reads 'perpage' and only falls back to 'per_page', and
this client has always sent 'perpage', so the interceptor's duplicate never did
anything except make every list URL carry a parameter twice.

Removing it also clears a live production problem. The endpoints list route used
to answer a 308, which is a PERMANENT redirect: the browser caches it against
the exact URL including its query string. Clients that hit the old route keep
that rewrite after the server is fixed, because the request no longer leaves the
machine - nothing deployed can reach it, and it fails as mixed content when the
cached target is http. Confirmed in the field: the page failed on load with the
default query string while a search, whose query string differs, worked in the
same session.

Changing the query string changes the cache key, so an affected client misses
the poisoned entry and reaches the corrected route without the user having to
clear site data.

Plugin views that pass per_page explicitly still work - the backend fallback is
untouched. vitest 260 passed.

2aea2bd818 File the Fleet nav item under Assets, beside the PCs it describes

CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
The endpoints plugin declared a section of its own, so the sidebar rendered a
one-item 'Fleet' group at the bottom, below Information, far from the PCs the
view is about. Its own docstring said it belonged just after PCs, and its
position (16, against PCs at 15) already said so too; only the section
disagreed.

Filed under assets, which puts it directly under PCs. The now-empty fleet
section is removed from NAV_SECTIONS - an unused section is an invitation to
file something else there.

784964c907 Bring the wilm branch into main: endpoints plugin, agent, policies, CSV import
Ports the corporate-GitHub wilm branch onto main, keeping the two branches
separate. Thirteen upstream commits arrive with their authorship intact; the
review fixes and the portability work below are on top.

What arrives:

  endpoints plugin  - a ShopDB agent reporting endpoint state, telemetry,
                      services and interfaces, with a command channel the agent
                      long-polls. Ingest stays on the generic collector route
                      (ADR-006); the agent key is a UI-managed single-scope
                      token whose revocation is an instant kill switch.
  computers policies - Configuration and Business Policies (RMM-style), scope
                      trees validated at write time, actions checked against
                      the endpoints command allowlist. Feature-gated: every
                      route 404s while the setting is off, so enabling it can
                      never half-expose the surface.
  asset CSV import  - templates, a collector script carrying the site path, and
                      a validate-then-commit import. A plugin can own a virtual
                      column plus a post-write row hook, which is how a PC's
                      machine number becomes a controls link without a
                      hand-built relationships sheet.
  agent/            - the Windows agent and its installer.

Contract 0.21.0 -> 0.24.0, additive throughout: register_import_hook (0.22),
mint/list/revoke_service_token (0.23), collector_authorized (0.24). The stability
table had no rows for any of them and now does.

MySQL 5.6 portability. The branch stored three policy columns as sa.JSON, the
only JSON columns in the product, and 5.6 has no JSON type: the migration failed
with a bare syntax error near the word JSON. They are TEXT now, through a
JSONText type decorator, so all seventeen call sites still read and write dicts.
The convention elsewhere is already TEXT (guides.blocksjson,
geenforce.manifestjson).

Review fixes carried on top:

  - six policy GETs were jwt_required(optional=True), which authenticates a
    caller without checking anything; they require computers.view now, and six
    redundant jwt_required decorators are gone
  - the agent installer took a default BaseUrl and CollectorKey, so a mistyped
    run silently pointed an endpoint at the wrong instance; both are mandatory
    and a non-https BaseUrl throws unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed
  - a committing CSV import wrote no audit row

Documentation: the 34 new routes are described in docs/api-inventory.json, which
is hand-maintained on purpose, and the generated spec now covers 331 paths and
477 operations across 22 surfaces. DEVELOPMENT-SETUP's 1071 troubleshooting row
said "use MySQL 8 for dev" and now gives the actual fix, including the trap that
5.6 downgrades ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC to Compact with a warning instead of an error.

Full suite 2123 passed, vitest 260 passed, all seventeen plugin chains migrate
clean on MySQL 5.6 and the naming, docs, parity and read-surface gates are green.

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.

151d7c4f44 Anyone not signed in holds the guest role
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.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 9m0s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
POST /api/reports/email has always taken any {columns, rows} from any caller,
but the Email report button existed on the toner and warranty pages only - not
because those reports are special, but because they happen to be their own
routed pages and the reports page had no button at all. It is now beside Export
CSV for every report the page can build a table from, which is all of them:
plugin reports through their declared columns, core reports through the flat
list they return, and the asset inventory summary by flattening its three
tables into one with the grouping named in a column. Presentation-only fields -
a status colour, a link id - are left out; a column of hex codes is worse than
no column. The shapes live in a module with tests rather than in the view.

The button is now hidden without reports.export on all three pages. Offering
somebody a button that can only answer 403 is worse than not offering it.

Separately, on the USB kiosk a long drive name pushed Take or Return out
through the side of its card, leaving a drive nobody could press. The name is a
flex item and so defaulted to min-width:auto, keeping its full intrinsic width;
it now yields, wraps mid-word for the serial-style names that carry no spaces,
and clamps its description to two lines so one long name cannot make every card
in the row tall. The locker line is never clipped - it is how somebody finds
the drive.

11f39253c2 A plugin report renders as a report, not as a JSON dump

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 2m28s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 6m58s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
The reports page ran a hardcoded switch over five core report ids and fell
through to `default: console.error('Unknown report')`, and its results panel was
a matching chain of per-id templates ending in a `JSON.stringify`. So a plugin
could register a report, watch it appear in the catalogue, and get a wall of
JSON when it was opened - which is where the three printedparts reports have
been since they were added.

Any report that declares an endpoint is now fetched from it, and any report
returning {columns, rows} renders as a table. That shape is already the
convention on the server side, so a plugin needs no core code at all to have a
working report. The per-id templates stay for the core reports whose payloads
are not tabular.

Export CSV goes through the api client rather than window.open. A new window
carries no Authorization header, so every report behind a real jwt_required -
which is every plugin one - answered the export button with a 401. The core
reports are jwt-optional, which is the only reason the old way ever appeared to
work. It also followed /api/reports/<id>, which does not exist for a plugin
report, instead of the endpoint the report itself came from.

A report that fails now says so instead of leaving an empty panel, and the page
offers the time window the endpoints already accepted - printedparts-consumption
was permanently stuck on its 30-day default because nothing could send one.

Verified in a browser against both plugin report families and the core reports.

fetchUser() existed and was called from nowhere. The signed-in user - including
the permission list every v-if in the app reads - was written once at login and
cached in localStorage, and nothing ever refreshed it. So an admin granted
somebody guides.create, the person was told they had it, and the New guide
button stayed hidden until they happened to log out and back in. Nothing on
screen explained why, and the natural conclusion is that the permission system
is broken.

Called on app boot, so a permission change lands on the next page load.
Reproduced before and after: button hidden, permission granted mid-session,
plain reload, button there.

Only a 401 logs out now. The old handler logged out on ANY failure, so an API
restart or a network blip would have thrown people out of sessions they still
held - a cached user is stale, not invalid.

2ad2bd1b90 Sidebar sections are DECLARED, not guessed from a position number
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.

The kiosk route lives outside AppLayout, so nothing linked to it - a full-screen
page with no way in from the app is a page nobody finds. It joins the Displays
section beside Parts Kiosk, TV Slideshow and the Shopfloor Dashboard, gated on
the route existing so a build without the USB plugin does not advertise it.

7c47ae1f7c USB kiosk: take and return a drive without a ShopDB login
The people who actually take USB drives are standing at the cabinet, and most
of them have no account here. Check-out and check-in were gated behind a login
that was not doing much anyway: both modes already attribute the action to a
scanned BADGE rather than to the signed-in user, so the login was gating the
screen, not the record.

/usb-kiosk is a full-screen touch page modelled on the parts kiosk, off unless
a site sets usb_kiosk_enabled - every route 404s until then, rather than 403,
so a disabled kiosk does not advertise that there is a door here. It works
against the self-hosted tables or an existing cmmc_usb database.

THE LIST IS THE TRADE. These drives carry no barcode, so unlike the parts kiosk
there is nothing to present and the screen has to offer a list - which exposes
more than a scan-first design, where you had to already hold a drive to learn
anything. So the list is not anonymous: an SSO comes first and must resolve to
a real person before any drive is named, which is the same bar taking a drive
already had to clear. It is a POST so the badge stays out of proxy access logs.
The main screen shows the caller's own drives, what is free, and a COUNT of
everything else; holders of other people's drives appear only behind a second
deliberate tap, so nobody reads the whole cabinet off a wall panel in passing.

A badge that resolves to no employee is REFUSED, unlike the signed-in route
which creates the user row. A checkout nobody can trace to a person defeats the
tracking, and at a kiosk there is no operator standing there to vouch for it.

Returning somebody else's drive asks first and then records the badge that was
SCANNED, so the log says who actually handed it back. That is the honest record
and it needs no change to a schema this app does not own. Refusing a mismatch
outright is a setting but not the default: a drive left behind by somebody on
leave would otherwise be unreturnable at the kiosk, which just moves the problem
to a person with a login.

The authz sweep caught these writes, twice - once for the two mutations and
again for the two list endpoints. Both are exempted with the reasoning written
out beside the parts-kiosk entry rather than silenced. The list endpoints are
POSTs that change nothing.

Verified by driving the real page: SSO on the keypad, tap Take, database moves.

e60d6b74d8 Search: a domain that FAILED no longer looks like one that found nothing
Every domain catches broadly and returns no rows so one broken table cannot take
the whole search box down. That part is right. On its own, though, it makes a
DOWN domain indistinguishable from an EMPTY one: the technician sees no results,
is offered a spelling correction, and concludes the record does not exist. It
does - the search just could not look.

Failed domains are now named in the response and stated above the results.

The suggestion is deliberately still offered on a degraded run. Suppressing it
was tried first and is worse: a chronically unreachable domain, an external HR
directory say, would silently disable spelling help for every search for ever
with nothing saying why. Naming the failure is the honest fix; withholding a
second useful signal is not.

Guides search also moves to the published revision. It correctly limited itself
to published GUIDES, but matched and displayed title/summary/tags/blocksjson
from the Guide row - which is the WORKING copy. A published guide with
unpublished edits matched on wording that only exists in the draft, and the
reader opened it to find the word absent.

9d96006eae Audit log retention: a way to purge, off by default
The audit log is append-only and nothing ever removed a row, so it grows for as
long as a site runs. This site reached tens of thousands of pages, which is past
the point of being useful: nobody pages through that to find anything.

Retention is OPT-IN and the default keeps everything. An upgrade that silently
started deleting a site's audit history would be indefensible, so
audit_retentiondays defaults to 0 and nothing is removed until somebody sets a
number. The Site & Facility card shows the log's size and exactly how many
entries a purge would delete BEFORE anything is pressed.

Deleting happens in committed batches. That is not an optimisation: one DELETE
over a million rows builds a single enormous transaction and holds locks across
the table while it runs, which on this server means blocking the collectors
posting inventory. The API caps its batch count so the request cannot outlive a
proxy timeout, and a run that stops early reports how much is left rather than
claiming it finished - a purge reporting success over 900k remaining rows would
be the same silent half-failure this codebase keeps getting bitten by.

`flask audit stats` and `flask audit purge` for the server, the latter reporting
by default and deleting only with --apply, with no batch cap because it is not
behind a proxy and a purge that stops halfway leaves the operator guessing.

audit.purge is a separate permission from audit.view. Reading the log and
destroying it are different acts, and plenty of people need only the first.

Chunking selects a page of ids and deletes those rather than using
DELETE ... LIMIT, which is MySQL-only while the suite runs on SQLite.

3c68ac2850 ADR-015: the site-literal check was matching nothing, and had been all along
The patterns are assembled from fragments so the published script does not
contain the strings it greps for. They used the apostrophe-escape form
('a'\''b'), which EMBEDS a literal apostrophe, instead of the concatenation form
('a''b'), which joins them. Every pattern therefore carried a stray quote in the
middle and could never match a line of real code, so the check passed everything
from the day it was written.

Verified the only way that means anything: plant a violation, watch it fail,
revert. Fixed, it immediately found 25 real hits.

Among them, in seven places, the default ServiceNow URLs - one organisation's QA
tenant, shipped with the integration ENABLED. Any site that had not configured
ServiceNow still rendered ticket links, pointing its technicians at a tenant
they cannot reach; an adopting site would have been pointed into somebody else's
instance entirely. There is no sensible cross-site default for "which ServiceNow
is yours", so the URLs ship blank and the integration ships off, matching the
Zabbix block that got this right.

A named SaaS tenant is as site-specific as a hostname, so it joins the patterns.
Colocated .spec.js files are excluded the same way tests/ already is: sample data
naming a facility is not a shipped literal.

dba8fc6071 Let somebody retire an asset without an API call
Five of the seven asset types had no way to take a record out of ShopDB from
the interface. Network devices and 3D printed parts had a button; machines,
PCs, printers and measuring tools did not, so a scrapped tool stayed in every
list and report until somebody went to the API.

The endpoints were already there and already correct. Every one of these
DELETEs sets asset.isactive = False and nothing more, so the record leaves the
lists while its calibration history, backups and relationships stay exactly
where they were.

Called "Retire" rather than "Delete" for that reason: the two existing buttons
say Delete, which reads as destruction of a record that is in fact kept and can
be restored by setting isactive back. The confirm says so too, because the
question somebody needs answered before clicking is whether the history goes
with it.

The button is guarded on the record having loaded, on the two pages whose
action row renders before the fetch resolves - measuring tools showed Retire
beside a hidden Edit while the tool was still loading, which would have called
delete with an undefined id.

printersApi had no delete method at all; added.

USB is deliberately left out. It retires through a status column in the
external CMMC database rather than isactive, has its own /retire endpoint, and
needs its own decision about what retiring means there.

ed5d64fa3e Name the record in the browser tab, not just the section
Every detail page read "West Jefferson ShopDB - Machine". Two tabs on two
different machines were indistinguishable, a bookmark said nothing about what
it pointed at, and a link shared into Teams previewed as the section rather
than the thing.

The router cannot fix this alone: afterEach runs before the view has fetched
anything, so it only ever knows the KIND of page. So a detail view names its
record once the record arrives, and both writers go through
composables/pageTitle.js.

THE ORDERING IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. The router awaits the site settings to build
the "<facility> ShopDB" prefix, so on a cold load it finishes AFTER a view that
fetched quickly and would overwrite the good title with the generic one. The
route's fullPath is claimed before that await, and the generic write stands
down when a record title already belongs to the route being landed on. The
reverse case is handled too: a view that names its record BEFORE the facility
name arrives composed against the placeholder prefix, so the late resolve
rewrites it rather than leaving "ShopDB - CSF16" on a site called West
Jefferson. Both are pinned by tests, because both fail only under timing.

Covers machines, PCs, printers, network devices, subnets, measuring tools, USB
devices, printed parts, applications, employees, knowledge base articles and
guides. Printers reuse the page's own displayTitle, which already discards the
literal name "NONE" a discovered queue can carry, so the tab and the heading
agree.

A record with no usable name, or one that failed to load, keeps the section
name: "Machine" beats "Machine 4192" for somebody scanning a row of tabs.
Long names are cut at a word boundary - knowledge base articles are named with
a whole sentence of description, which a browser otherwise truncates mid-word.

Reports gained meta.title, which the router already supported and nothing used.
That also fixes "Pc Relationships", which the name-derived spelling produced.

03094e93b2 Let Guides be switched off in Settings > Search like every other domain
Global search has per-domain toggles (search_<type>_enabled), enforced
server-side and edited from Settings. Guides answered the search box but had no

only have surfaced when somebody went looking for the switch and could not find
it.

2c016de59e Guides answer the search box, and proofing catches what spellcheck cannot
A guide was invisible to global search. Core search has a hardcoded block per
domain rather than a hook, so a new plugin stays unreachable until someone adds
one - which is the same shape as the gap this test file already documents for
USB devices and printed parts: records with a list page, labels in the world,
and no way to find them from the search box.

Guides are searched by title, summary, tags AND body. The body matters more here
than elsewhere: people look for a procedure by something written halfway down it,
not by a title they never read. PUBLISHED ONLY - a draft is deliberately
invisible to readers, and search is exactly where that rule leaks if nobody
writes it down. The test proves it with a draft sharing a tag and a body word
with a published guide, so a missing filter would show up as a ride-along.

PROOFING catches what a spellchecker cannot, because none of these are spelling:
a smart quote in a command so it will not run, a checklist item with no text so
a step is silently missing, a heading left with nothing under it after a
reorganise, an image with no alt text, a TODO published by accident. Warnings,
never blocks - somebody publishing at 14:40 with one empty bullet should be
told, not stopped, and a procedure that exists imperfectly beats one nobody
wrote.

The smart-character issue reports once per block with a one-click fix, rather
than once per offending character: an opening and a closing quote are one
problem, and listing both makes the panel look like it is nagging.

The character table itself is written as escapes. The style gate forbids
non-ASCII in source, and a file whose job is detecting smart quotes cannot
contain any - which the gate caught, correctly.

The habit this replaces is pasting a credential into Teams, where it stays until
someone deletes the conversation. Tabled on 2026-08-21 pending a decision about
scope; the decision was text only, so this is the half that survives it.

BACKEND ONLY. There is no page yet, so nothing here is reachable by a person.

TEXT, NOT DOCUMENTS, and that shapes everything. Dropping files removed the
export-control question entirely - a password is not technical data - along with
blob storage, size and MIME handling, and the need to authenticate the recipient
so a document fetch could be pinned to a name.

TWO DOORS. Creating needs a login AND securesend.create: anonymous creation
would be an untraceable way to move data out of a system that otherwise records
who did what, and the creator is the only person these rows can ever name.
Reading needs neither, because the recipient usually has no account here and the
link is handed over on a call - the unguessable token IS the authorisation,
which is why it is 128 bits of randomness and why the row is spent on first read.

REDEEMING IS A POST, and that is the detail that would have broken this in
practice. Teams, Outlook and Safe Links prefetch GET urls to build previews and
scan for malware, so a GET that redeemed would let a preview window consume a
secret before its recipient ever saw it. The GET route that remains reports only
whether a link is still live, so the read page can say "opening this will
destroy it" without spending the only view to find out.

THE SIZE LIMIT IS THE WHOLE ENFORCEMENT. The key lives in the URL fragment,
which browsers never transmit, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read and
cannot tell a password from a page of a drawing. MAX_CIPHERTEXT is therefore not
a tuning knob: raising it quietly turns this into the document transfer it was
scoped not to be. The refusal says what the limit is FOR, because somebody
hitting it is usually trying to send a file and the answer is a different tool.
Line counts, file signatures and refusing a pasted file belong in the browser,
guide an honest person, and are bypassable by anyone willing to POST directly.

NOT ENUMERABLE. Missing, expired and spent all answer identically - telling them
apart would confirm to anyone holding a guessed token whether it ever named
anything. A spent or expired row is deleted on the way past rather than waiting
for a sweeper, because it has no reason to keep its ciphertext.

Its own plugin rather than a Tech Tool: that plugin is browser-only by design,
and this needs storage, expiry and a view counter. Not an asset extension
either, so no assetid and no asset type - the scaffold assumes one and it was
removed.

FOUND BY ITS OWN TESTS: expiryhours=0 returned 201. `int(x or DEFAULT)` treats
an explicit zero as absent, so "expire immediately" silently became "expire in a
day". A caller who sends a number is now told when it is not allowed rather than
quietly given a different one.

BEFORE ANYONE RELIES ON THIS, test that your link rewriter preserves URL
fragments: create a secret, send the link to yourself in Teams, click it from the
message, and check the key is still after the #. If Safe Links strips it the
secret is unrecoverable and the server cannot help, which is the point of the
design. The fallback is passphrase mode, worth building only if that test says so.

Three product gates caught what a new plugin has to declare, and each was right
to: the route-parity gate wanted the endpoints described in api-inventory.json,
the lean-build guard wanted the plugin listed in the universal profile the
released installer builds from, and the authz sweep wanted the public redeem
route named in EXEMPT_ENDPOINTS with a reason. That last one matters most - a
mutating route that answers an unauthenticated caller is a decision somebody has
to write down, not a default, and reading a secret is a mutation because it
spends it.

Correction only helped on the global search page, and people search from the
list they are already on. Extending it turned out to be a shape question rather
than a volume one: thirty routes take a search parameter across a dozen files,
so carrying a suggestion in each of their responses is a large change today and
one more thing every future plugin author has to remember.

So the suggestion moved to ITS OWN ENDPOINT, /api/search/suggest, which any page
can call after rendering no rows. A page that has not adopted it shows nothing,
which is exactly what it showed before - nothing breaks by omission.

The plumbing lives in useListQuery, which already owned the search term, so a
list needs three lines: take `suggestion` and `reportCount` from the composable,
call reportCount(rows.length) after a fetch, and drop SearchSuggestion into the
empty state it already has. A list that never calls reportCount never offers a
suggestion.

Wired: global search, machines, printers, PCs, network devices, measuring tools,
knowledge base, vendors. NOT wired, deliberately: the type and reference lists
(machine types, PC types, VLANs, subnets, operating systems and the rest), which
are small controlled vocabularies nobody typo-searches, and USB, whose empty
state has a different shape and wants doing by hand rather than by pattern.

TRAP FOUND WHILE WIRING IT, and left commented in every page: applying a
suggestion by calling setSearch alone updates the box and the URL and does NOT
reload the list. setSearch only syncs the URL, and the watcher that would reload
is suppressed because search.value already holds the new term - the same trap
the global search page documents in performSearch. Each page calls its own load
function directly.

The composable guards a stale answer arriving after a newer search was typed,
never offers back the word that was typed, and swallows its own errors: a search
that found nothing is already the answer, and failing to improve on it is not
worth an error in front of anyone.

The route-parity gate caught the new endpoint being served without an entry in
docs/api-inventory.json, which is hand-written on purpose; added, and the spec
regenerated from it (283 paths, 418 operations). That regeneration also carries
the openapi version to 0.12.0, left over from the release.

The back side landed last commit carrying text by default, and a back laid out
as text-only renders no code box at all. So a two-sided run came out with a
blank reverse, which reads as the code having failed rather than as a setting
doing exactly what it said. The back now defaults to carrying a code, takes its
own content per row, and chooses its own symbology - a QR on the front that
opens the record, a CODE128 on the back that the bench scanner already reads.
Text-only is refused while the back carries a code, and the contradiction is
reconciled on load, so a saved setting from the broken combination repairs
itself rather than printing another blank box of cards.

A picture can go on a label: above the code, beside it, or behind everything as
a watermark, on either side or both. The file is read in the browser and never
sent anywhere, which is what makes it usable at an air-gapped site, and it is
deliberately not saved between visits - a data URL runs to megabytes and would
take every sizing value with it when the quota gave out. The watermark says
plainly that it costs the scanner contrast.

The generator was a full-screen route with no navigation and a narrow column of
controls against the left edge. That shape exists so a print cannot put the
sidebar on label stock, which is a real hazard and the reason core's label pages
are built that way - but it is a hazard the print stylesheet can answer, and
style.css now hides the shell at print time. A tool someone spends ten minutes
in gets the navigation and the full width; the stock still gets nothing but
labels, confirmed against a print PDF rather than a preview.

Two smaller things found while checking the above. A test print paired each page
with a rendered code by loop position, while the codes are keyed to position in
the whole run, so a two-sided test card could carry the wrong code; the index
now travels with the page. And the back's dotted preview outline outspecified
the print reset, drawing a dashed rule down the edge of every second card.

2bf1531 fixed the reported symptom and introduced the opposite one: markers that
had been landing left came right, and then sat well ABOVE where they belonged.

It was the right diagnosis and the wrong remedy. The drawing is painted with
object-fit: contain inside a fixed 390x300 preview, so it is letterboxed on one
axis and a percentage of the BOX is not a percentage of the DRAWING. That part
was true. But the fix resized the frame to shrink-wrap the image, and the
centring transform above it translates by percentages - which resolve against
that same element. Making the frame image-sized silently broke the transform's
assumption that the frame is the box. Width still matched at 390, height no
longer did, which is exactly x-right and y-wrong.

The frame fills the box again and object-fit: contain is back. Where the bars
fall is now computed instead: paintedBox works out the fraction of the box the
drawing covers and the gap before it, per axis, and the marker maths folds that
in. The transform's assumption stays true because the element it translates
never changes size.

Checked per axis rather than asserted. A tall drawing pillarboxes, so x
compresses and offsets inward - a left edge at 2 percent of the drawing lands at
13.1 percent of the box, which is where the drawing actually starts - and y is
untouched. A wide drawing does the reverse. A level shaped like the box is a
no-op, so nothing that already looked right moves. Centre maps to centre on
every shape.

NEW COUPLING, deliberately noted at both ends: PREVIEW_WIDTH and PREVIEW_HEIGHT
must stay in step with .map-preview in the styles. Resize the preview without
touching them and this drifts back.

Still not confirmed against a live instance, and this is the second attempt at
this bug, so it wants eyes on three cases: one that was landing left, one that
was landing high, and one that was right all along.

Reported from the floor: some assets showed their hover mini-map marker way off
to the left, outside the map, while the SAME asset sat correctly on the main
map. The data was right; the preview was drawing it wrong.

The preview is a fixed 390x300 box and the drawing was painted into it with
object-fit: contain, which letterboxes or pillarboxes to keep the drawing's own
aspect ratio. The marker, though, was positioned at a percentage of the BOX. So
the marker and the drawing were measured in two different coordinate spaces, and
they only agreed when the level's aspect ratio happened to be 390:300.

A level near that ratio looked perfect - 3300x2550 is 1.294 against the box's
1.300 - which is why this read as "some devices" rather than "the feature is
broken". A taller drawing pillarboxes, every marker's x shifts, and one near the
left edge lands in the grey gutter beside the map.

The image now SIZES the frame instead of filling it: the transform box
shrink-wraps the image and the image scales down to fit. A percentage of the
frame is therefore a percentage of the drawing by construction, at any aspect
ratio, and the letterboxing moves out to the preview around it where it does no
harm. dimensionsFor still converts the stored pixels to percentages - that part
was always right.

NOT visually confirmed against a live instance. The reasoning is traced and the
build is clean, but the shape of this bug is that it looks correct on any level
close to the old box ratio, so it wants a look at an asset that was landing left
and one that was already fine.

Related and NOT addressed: the wheel zoom applies translate percentages that
resolve against the element and are then multiplied by scale, so a zoomed
preview may still drift. At rest, which is the reported case, it is exact.

Three things the code generator could not do, each of which had someone
working around it with a control that meant something else.

The gap between a code and its caption was the quiet zone. That is the
clear space a scanner needs around the code, so closing up a caption meant
shaving the thing that makes the code readable, and the only way to get a
tight label to scan was to push the caption further away than it looked
like it should be. Quiet zone now means the code's own margin and nothing
else; gap means the distance to the caption, and adds to the quiet zone
rather than eating into it. Each stock preset carries the gap that suits it.

Position had one pair of controls and they moved the label box on the
stock. That is the fix for a printer whose origin is off, and it is not the
fix for a code sitting in the wrong place on a label - but it was the only
lever there, so it got used for both. The label div is now the media and
holds still; everything printed sits in a content wrapper that Align,
Vertical and Content X/Y move within it. The old pair kept its behaviour
and is labelled Media X/Y.

A badge card has two sides and the generator only ever emitted one page per
card. The back can now carry the same code again, a fixed block of text,
its own per-row content, or nothing. Page order is a choice because the two
kinds of printer want opposite things: interleaved for a duplex card
printer, which takes pages two at a time, and grouped for a single-sided
one whose stack gets flipped and reloaded. A row that leaves its back
column empty still gets a blank back page - a page count that varies per
row shifts every later back onto the wrong front, which prints a box of
perfectly readable cards that are all wrong.

CSV parsing and page building moved to plugins/tools/frontend/labelPages.js
(committed in 875fde9), where the column contract and both page orders are
covered by tests rather than by looking at the preview.

Printers become a property of the bay, and the container stops throwing away the
site's own files every time it is updated.

Printer assignment is now end to end. The assignment belongs to the MACHINE and
reaches whichever PC controls it, so a reimaged or swapped bay comes back with
its printers and nothing had to be saved off the old box. One picker serves both
forms rather than two implementations of the same override. A relationship type
can declare itself singular, so setting a second default REPLACES the first
instead of silently losing to the older row. Alongside the assigned half there is
now an observed half: a bay reports what it actually has, kept strictly apart
from what it is told to have, because a drifted bay's own state becoming its
desired state would make every configuration error permanent. The client script
corrects a drifted queue in place rather than only installing a missing one, and
a driver rollout can be spread across waves so 300 bays do not pull 30 GB through
one five-minute window.

DOCKER SITES SHOULD READ THIS PARAGRAPH. The compose stack never persisted the
instance directory, so `docker compose build api && up -d api` - the update path
the docs themselves gave - discarded plugins.json and every upload with it. It is
a volume now, and DEPLOY.md carries the one-time rescue for a stack that predates
it. The image also could not be built at all: the frontend stage never copied the
plugin staging script its own prebuild hook runs, so every build since that
script landed failed. Air-gapped sites need a fresh offline bundle, because the
stack moves to MySQL 8.4 LTS and an existing tarball carries only the 8.0 image.

The Windows installer already bundled MySQL 8.4, so this closes a gap between the
two halves rather than moving anyone.

Adds a topology migration guide: IIS to Docker, Docker to a new host, and back.
The data moves cleanly; what costs time is that the server address is baked into
GE-Enforce manifests, the generated collector script, the printer client scripts
and printed QR codes.

1736 tests green. Contract stays at 0.20.0 - nothing under shopdb/api changed.

e2c45d33bc One printer picker for machines and PCs, and one default per asset
The assignment belongs to the MACHINE, and until now there was no way to set it
except the generic relationships card or the API - the form for the thing the
feature is about did not exist. MachineForm now carries the picker, and PCForm
uses the SAME component rather than its own copy: the PC's set overrides the
machine's, and two implementations of that would drift, with the two ends of an
override disagreeing being exactly the bug nobody would spot.

The shared picker also fixes what PCForm did on save. It wrote row at a time
through the generic relationship endpoints, which is a non-atomic reconcile: an
HTTP failure part way left a PC half-assigned with nothing recording what was
meant. It now calls the reconcile endpoint, which validates the default before
writing anything.

A relationship type can now say it allows one active row per asset
(relationshiptypes.issingular, migration 7d34), and defaultprinter says it.
Cardinality belongs to the type rather than the printers plugin: core's create
path is where every hand-made link passes, and the next type meaning "exactly
one" gets the rule for free. Setting a second default REPLACES the first instead
of refusing, because "make this the default" means that - and a card answering
409 would leave the user hunting for the old row.

Without it the schema was happy to hold two defaults: the unique constraint is
(source, target, type), so two different targets are two valid rows, and the
resolver takes the OLDEST - the new default silently lost. Proven by disabling
the new rule and watching the tests fail.

FOUND WHILE TESTING IN A BROWSER, and it was not mine: MachineForm read
.data.data off computersApi.listAll(), which resolves to the ARRAY - fetchAllPages
has already unwrapped every page. The whole parallel load threw into the catch,
so every dropdown on the machine edit form came up empty and the machine's own
values never loaded. A build cannot see this; only opening the page can.

GET /api/printers/assignments/for-asset/<id> returns an asset's OWN assignment,
without inheritance, because the editor must show what this asset's rows say -
otherwise a machine's printers appear ticked on the PC that inherits them and
unticking one silently creates an override.

The last of the buildings-and-levels bugs, and the shop-floor clients brought
into the product.

Anyone on 0.11.0 through 0.11.2 should take this. Every hover mini-map in the
product reported "this asset has a position but no level" - the levelid prop
added in 0.11.0 was passed by none of its seven call sites - and the map PDF
printed markers from every floor onto one sheet, which nobody can correct once it
is carried onto the floor. The legacy import loader, still to run against
production, created markers with no level at all.

The gate that should have caught all three asked whether a FILE mentions levelid
rather than whether each position does. It now checks per occurrence.

Also: printers can be assigned to a MACHINE and reach whichever PC controls it,
so a reimaged bay reinstalls its own printers with nothing saved off the old PC;
printerdrivers can name a vendor, so two rows cover 41 of 44 printers instead of
twenty-one near-duplicates; and the collector reporter and EventSaver now live in
the repository with no site baked into either, the reporter generated per site on
request.

The client scripts were validated on Windows 11 against a live ShopDB, not only
by the suite: a bay with no rows of its own created both queues from its
machine's assignment, bound them to the right universal drivers, and set the
per-user default.

The version and the changelog are the release; the detail is in the entry.

The hover mini-map said "This asset has a position (2835, 1410) but no level"
for every asset in the product. When 0.11.0 gave LocationMapTooltip a levelid
prop, NONE of its seven call sites were taught to pass one - printer, machine and
PC detail pages, the toner report, enforcement reports, the warranty chip and the
dashboard cards - so the component correctly reported a missing level and the
preview never drew. Two payloads behind those views also emitted mapx/mapy with
no level: the toner report and the enforcement report.

The map PDF export had the ORIGINAL bug still in it: it plotted every filtered
asset onto the sheet, so exporting the ground floor printed second-floor markers
on it. Worse than on screen, because nobody can correct a sheet once it has been
printed and carried onto the floor. It now exports only the level being viewed.

The legacy import loader sent mapleft/maptop with no level at three call sites.
That loader is the one still to run against production, and every marker it
created would have been undrawable. It now resolves the site's default level -
the legacy schema predates levels and has one floor plan, so that is what its
coordinates mean.

THE GATE MISSED ALL OF THIS because it asked whether a FILE mentions 'levelid',
not whether each position does: one module emitted 'mapx' six times and 'levelid'
once and passed. It now checks per occurrence, covers scripts/ as well as shopdb/
and plugins/, and fails any Vue file that binds tooltip coordinates without
:levelid. Both new rules were confirmed to fail the build against planted
violations before being relied on.

Printer QR labels: the asset number is no longer printed. A label now reads name
(8201-HPLaserJetPro), QR, FQDN, then IP. The name falls back to the assetnumber
because that is where sites actually keep it - every printer here has an empty
name field, so preferring the Windows queue name alone would have printed a blank
line on every label.

Bug fixes for the buildings-and-levels work in 0.11.0, every one of them found by
using the feature rather than by the suite.

Anyone running 0.11.0 or 0.11.1 with more than one level should take this
release: the map drew markers from every level on whichever floor plan happened
to be showing, which is the failure ADR-017 exists to prevent, and it was in the
one component that draws the map. The viewer also had no way to choose a level,
and the editor never accepted a click at all - its handler was bound only if the
map was already a picker at mount, and the editor opens with nothing selected.

Also: a level's native size could not be set (the settings page had no height
field), the same search could return different rows because fourteen searchers
truncated without an ORDER BY, and both map pages carried a scrollbar from
subtracting the wrong page chrome from the viewport height.

No schema change, and the plugin contract stays at 0.20.0.

Clicking the map in the editor did nothing, ever. The click handler was bound
inside `if (props.pickerMode)` at mount, and the editor mounts with no asset
selected, so the handler was never attached; selecting an asset flipped the prop
but nothing rebound it. The asset forms were unaffected because their picker
mounts inside a modal that is already in picker mode, which is why this looked
like an editor-only fault. The handler is now bound unconditionally and
handleMapClick keeps its own picker-mode guard.

Verified in a browser against the dev instance, both ways: with the old binding
a click on a selected asset produced no position at all; with the fix the same
click reports 1652, 1138.

Markers are now drawn in picker mode too. Placing one relative to the machines
already on the floor is the entire task, and the old code skipped rendering them
whenever the map was a picker.

Two things that looked like stray widgets:
- The editor's panel header put a heading and three controls on one row inside a
  320px panel, squeezing the search box until its placeholder read "Search na".
  The heading takes its own row and the controls share the next.
- The legend drew its bar and border even with nothing to put in it, which read
  as an empty input box under the toolbar. It renders only when it has entries.

Five defects, four of them mine from 0.11.0, found by using the feature.

THE SERIOUS ONE: ShopFloorMap never checked a marker's level. It skipped null
coordinates and drew everything else on whatever blueprint was displayed, so
level 1 markers appeared on level 2 - the exact failure ADR-017 exists to
prevent, in the one component that draws the map. The build gate did not catch it
because that rule checks files EMITTING mapx, not the component consuming it.
Markers are now filtered to the drawn level, and a position with no level is
omitted rather than approximated.

The map page had no way to choose a level at all. It read currentlevelid only to
title the PDF, so a second floor was unreachable from the viewer that most people
use. Adds a level selector (hidden when a site has one level), passes it to the
map, and switches the drawing, the bounds, the coordinate space and the markers
together - swapping the image without the bounds would place every marker against
the wrong scale.

Searching the map now follows results across levels: a search whose matches are
all on another floor showed an empty map while the filter counted them.

Floor map settings had NO height input - only width - so a level's native size
could not be set even while empty, which is the one time it is editable. Both
fields are there now, and size is editable on a level that has markers, because
refusing it blocked the case the feature was built for: a new blueprint of new
dimensions on a floor already full of markers. It confirms first and points at
landmark recalibration.

Search results differed between the sidebar box and the results-page box:
- 14 of 16 searchers truncated with .limit() and no ORDER BY, so the database
  could return a DIFFERENT subset of matching rows for the same query. Every
  searcher now ends in a total order (display key plus primary key).
- Searching a term already in the URL was a duplicate navigation the router
  aborts, so the route watcher never fired and the button did nothing. The
  sidebar never hit this, because it always navigates from another page - which
  is why the two boxes appeared to disagree.

Also removes a scrollbar from both map pages. They subtracted 2rem and 40px from
100vh for the page chrome, which is really 90px of padding on .main-content, so
each overflowed by the difference. The padding is now a CSS variable both the
layout and the pages read. Measured in the browser before and after: 1058 vs a
1000px viewport, now 1000.

A patch release. The pagination-cap fixes, and the documentation that missed the
0.11.0 installer by a few minutes.

docs/UPGRADE.md is one of the documents the Windows installer puts on the server,
and its buildings-and-levels section was committed after 0.11.0 was tagged. So
0.11.0 shipped the page an operator reads WHILE upgrading without the guidance
about that upgrade - which matters most on an air-gapped box, where there is no
other way to reach it. The installer now also ships FLOOR-MAP.md for the same
reason the Windows runbooks ship.

No application code changed on the server side and the plugin contract stays at
0.20.0.

The version and the changelog are the release; the detail is in the entry.

Follow-up to the application-picker fix. Three of these were already wrong on
data that exists today, not merely latent.

Batch label printing is the worst of them: AssetLabelBatch asked for 500
machines or PCs, got 100, and printed a sheet that looked complete. With 262
machines and 290 PCs in the catalogue that is a physically short run with no
error anywhere - the operator finds out at the label printer, or later at the
bay with no label on it. PrinterQRBatch, USBLabelBatch and PrintedPartsLabels
had the same shape and are fixed alongside it, before their tables cross 100
too.

MachineForm's "controls" PC dropdown offered the first 100 of 290, so a
machine could not be linked to a PC sorting late in the list. NetworkDeviceForm
had it for models, which are already past 100 - and the same file already
called modelsApi.listAll() correctly two lines away.

Adds listAll() to the machines, computers, printers, network, measuring-tools,
USB and printed-parts APIs, all delegating to fetchAllPages().

Still outstanding: callers of vendors, locations, business units and the type
catalogues that ask for more than 100. Those tables are all well under the cap
today, so they are correct for now and wrong the day they are not.

get_pagination_params clamps perpage to MAX_PAGE_SIZE (100) and reports
nothing about having done so, so a caller asking for perpage: 1000 gets the
first 100 rows and a success response. Every picker built that way looked
complete and was not.

Found on a live site with 126 active applications: the 26 sorting last were
absent from the knowledge-base topic dropdown, so an article could not be
filed against them. Nothing was wrong with those application records, and
editing them could never have helped.

Adds fetchAllPages() to the api module, generalizing the one call site that
already handled this correctly (modelsApi.listAll), and points the four
application pickers at a new applicationsApi.listAll(): the KB article form,
the KB list's topic filter, the notification form, and the report filter
builder.

Lists that render a page at a time are untouched - they page for a reason.
Other callers still asking for more than 100 rows of vendors, locations,
models, subnets and the rest are latent: correct only while those tables stay
under 100, and silent on the day they do not.

The floor map became a set of drawings instead of one picture, and search now
reaches what the forms have been collecting all along.

A site can hold more than one building and a building more than one level, and
every map position records which drawing its coordinates belong to. An existing
single-map site upgrades into one building and one default level carrying the
blueprint it already had, and nothing moves on screen. Landmark recalibration
moves a level's markers onto a redrawn plan, solved per axis from the landmarks
and never from the image dimensions, dry run by default, snapshotted before it
applies.

Two identifiers the UI collects were findable in almost no way and two plugins'
records in no way at all: gaugelabreference matched only measuring tools,
maintenancereference matched nothing anywhere, and USB devices and printed items
were absent from search entirely because neither is an asset. All four are
searchable now, from the global bar and from every list's own search box.

Contract 0.20.0 is additive: a plugin that writes a map position must write its
level with it.

3324dbd91e Buildings and levels for the floor map, and make every identifier searchable
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 9s

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The map was one picture of one floor. A second floor was added, the blueprint
changed size, and machines moved, so a position now records WHICH DRAWING its
coordinates belong to.

Buildings and levels (ADR-017). Each level owns its blueprint per theme and its
own native pixel size; assets.mapx/mapy are pixels of assets.levelid, not of the
site. A position whose level is unknown renders "level unknown" and is never
drawn on the default level, because a marker on the wrong floor plan looks
entirely correct while pointing at the wrong place.

Repositioning in bulk: filter by unplaced, needs-review or level, search, place,
confirm. Landmark recalibration solves the transform PER AXIS from landmark
pairs and never from image dimensions - the canvas grew taller without
rescaling, so a dimension-derived scale would stretch Y by 1.57 and be wrong
everywhere. It defaults to a dry run, reports what would land off the drawing,
snapshots before applying, and clears mapverifiedat because a transform is a
guess awaiting review. Snapshots restore, including the level and the review
state, and a restore snapshots first so an undo is undoable.

Search: gaugelabreference was matched only for measuring tools and
maintenancereference was matched nowhere at all, for any asset type, while
Settings happily offers both identifiers on machines and PCs. A tag an operator
is told to record has to be findable or it is a write-only field. USB devices
and printed items were unreachable from search entirely - neither is an asset,
so the generic asset search could not see them and no searcher existed; they
now match on serial, asset tag, label, bin code and gage-lab tag, honouring
isactive, with Settings toggles and result labels to match.

The retired-application rule was half a rule: GET /api/knowledgebase hid
articles whose topic application is retired while global search still returned
them and printed the retired application as the subject. A filter is only real
if every path that reaches the row applies it.

Contract to 0.20.0 (additive): Asset gained levelid and mapverifiedat, Location
gained levelid, and resolve_asset_position returns the levelid belonging to
whichever source supplied the coordinates. The five plugins that write a map
position are re-pinned. The install-list text format gained levelid as a NINTH
field, appended, because the shipped Pascal installer reads fields 0-7 by index.

That installer still compiles in one drawing's dimensions and bundles one
blueprint, so its map is accurate for the default level only; /api/maplevels is
deliberately unauthenticated so it can read both at runtime once rebuilt.
Recorded in PRINTER-INSTALLER.md section 6 along with the other known gaps.

Migration 7d33 converts an existing single-map site into one building and one
default level carrying the old map_* settings, then assigns every placed asset
and location to it. Nothing moves on screen. Old settings rows are kept so a
rollback still finds them. Verified end to end on MySQL 5.6 from a
production-shaped database.

A privilege-escalation fix in the Windows installer, the multi-site portability
work, and a documentation and API surface that a second site can rely on.

The installer created C:\shopdb-flask, C:\Python314 and C:\MySQL84 without
breaking inheritance from the drive root, whose default DACL grants
Authenticated Users an inherit-only Modify. Two files inside those roots are
executed by someone else - shopdb-admin.ps1 self-elevates, and instance
config.py is loaded unconditionally by the app - so any logged-on user could
replace either and wait. Verified fixed as SYSTEM in the Windows 11 VM against
the shipped functions.

Contract 0.19.0 is breaking: get_dashboard_widgets returns data and shape, not a
component name. The change itself shipped earlier without a bump, with the
contract docs still teaching the dead shape; both are corrected.

c648bdf560 labels: one module knows how to draw a code, seven views stop guessing
Three core pages and four plugin pages each imported qrcode and jsbarcode
directly, and each carried its own answer to the same questions: what margin,
what width, which error correction, how big a module must be before a scanner
can read it. The answers had already drifted - margin 0 in one place and 2 in
another, width 150 against 160 - and on a label that is the difference between
a sticker that scans and one that does not.

frontend/src/utils/codes.js owns it now: the label-stock presets, the quiet-zone
and margin defaults, CODE128 with no printed value, and the printer-resolution
arithmetic that only the Tech Tools generator had. A view passes what is
specific to its own label and nothing else - MachineBadge still asks for CODE39,
because the badge readers predate the shop-floor scanners and decode nothing
else, and that is exactly the kind of thing a call site should say out loud.

views/print/qrLogo.js is folded in rather than left as a second half-shared
helper that only some of the pages reached into.

The check script now fails a build that imports either library outside that
module. Without it this re-forks within a month: the next label page starts by
copying the nearest existing one, which is how it happened the first time.

Tests cover the part no amount of looking at a screen verifies - a QR that
looks fine at 96 dpi on a monitor can be unreadable at 203 dpi on half-inch
stock.

035419fa51 ADR-015: stop shipping one site's values, and make the rule a gate
The scanner has been reporting the same count for weeks, which is what a rule
that only prints becomes. It now FAILS the build, and it looks where the leaks
actually were: PowerShell, the installer, the seeds, generated JSON, the
frontend - case-insensitively, across plugins, shopdb, scripts, deploy, tools.
A line that is deliberate declares itself with an ADR-015-OK marker and a
reason, so the claim is visible in review instead of tolerated in silence.

What it found, fixed here:

- The shadow client wrote one site's ShopDB URL into HKLM whenever the registry
  disagreed. At the site it was written for that reads as healing drift;
  anywhere else it overwrites the site's own address on every enforce cycle,
  and the site cannot win because the cycle repeats. The bay's value now wins,
  an explicit -BaseUrl seeds it, and with neither there is nothing honest to
  write, so it says so and skips.
- The kiosk dispatcher fell back to one plant's host when HKLM was unset, so a
  kiosk elsewhere quietly opened a server it has no business reaching. The
  fallback is now this site's site_base_url, baked in at seed time, and the
  dispatcher refuses rather than guessing when neither is set. Its legacy
  shortcut matcher derives the host from that URL instead of naming one.
- The OpenAPI generator hardcoded a production hostname into every spec it
  generated, which then published to a public wiki. The relative mount is the
  only server it can honestly name; a site passes its own by environment.
- Placeholders and examples in the UI and the client help offered real internal
  subnets and a real production URL. They now use documentation ranges.

Both publication gates - the export scrub and the docs publishability test -
carry the site patterns, which neither did. One plant's hostname, FQDN and
internal networks are out of the documentation and the generated specs.

Comments naming the reference site are reworded rather than deleted: the
reasoning is worth keeping, the plant name is not what makes it true.

20a95013ad contract 0.18.0: one name per display role, the kiosk's own
Core called the roles dashboard / lobby / partskiosk. The kiosks call them
Dashboard / Lobby / 3DPrintRoom, which are the literal contents of
C:\Enrollment\display-type.txt, read by the GE-Enforce dispatcher to pick a
target. Two vocabularies for three kiosks, each with its own copy of the same
route map.

That is not cosmetic. A display reporting its own type sends what its file
says, so it could report a role core would not accept, and core could store
'partskiosk', a value no dispatcher would ever match. The enforcement report
column would have shown one vocabulary from the device and the other from the
DashboardDefault fallback, in the same column.

The machine's file wins, because that is what a person edits. DISPLAY_ROLE_PATHS
takes the kiosk spelling and the display scope now uses that dict rather than
holding a second one, so the two cannot drift again. normalize_display_role
resolves any casing and the retired 'partskiosk' forward; the dispatcher already
matched its map case-insensitively and the server now agrees with it.

Nothing is turned away over a capital: the API accepts any spelling and stores
the canonical one, displaypath resolves through the normalizer so rows written
before this keep working, and the settings dropdown canonicalises on open so an
old value does not render as a blank select.

A reported subtype is normalised on the way in, but an UNRECOGNISED one is kept
verbatim. That is a kiosk with a typo in its file or a role nobody declared, and
both are worth seeing in the fleet table rather than blanked or guessed at.

Contract bumped for the added names. DashboardDefault is finally listed in
__all__ too - 0.17.0 put it on the surface and never exported it.

ea35a134fe Show the fiscal week beside the site name
The classic ASP site prints a week number under the site title, and people
quote it in conversation and on paperwork. Anyone with both sites open needs
the two to agree, so this is a port of the old arithmetic rather than a fresh
interpretation of what a fiscal week is: ISO 8601, week 1 contains 4 January,
and the week's Thursday decides which year it belongs to. That rule is what
makes late December and early January land in the right year, which is exactly
where a naive day-of-year count goes wrong, so it is what the tests cover.

Worth recording: a true GE fiscal calendar need not follow ISO weeks. Nobody
has asked for a different rule, and inventing one here would silently disagree
with the site people compare against.

Computed in local time on purpose. The number people quote is the one on the
wall where they stand, and a UTC week rolls over hours early in the evening at
a US site. The sidebar re-checks every half hour; the shop-floor board picks it
up with the clock it already ticks.

c28b02e45b Upload an application's image and installer instead of typing paths
Adding an application meant typing an image FILENAME and trusting someone had
dropped the file into the frontend's own directory by hand, and typing an
install path from memory. Both are uploads now, following the model-image trio
that models and part photos already use.

The two differ deliberately. The image is public, because application tiles
render before anything is authenticated. The installer is not: it is licensed
vendor software, an open URL would publish it to anything that can reach the
site, and it is always sent as an attachment rather than rendered.

Installers are capped at 500MB and the size is measured by seeking the stream
rather than trusting Content-Length, which a chunked upload does not send and a
client can understate. Anything larger belongs on the share, and the error says
so rather than just refusing.

Files are chosen before a new application exists, so they are held and uploaded
once there is an id to attach them to. A failed upload leaves the saved record
alone and reports, rather than losing what saved fine.

Removing an installer only clears installpath when it pointed at the upload - a
share path was typed by a person and is not ours to wipe. The detail page reads
both shapes, since entries from the classic site hold a bare filename that is
still served from /images/applications/.

2693eb28d6 Cap the dashboard at four cards, and shrink the hover map
The card track was 28rem, which fits four across a full-width page but only
three once the sidebar takes its 250px - and 1920 with the sidebar is the
common case here, so the board showed three. The track is 22rem now, with an
explicit four-column cap above 96rem: left to auto-fit alone a wide screen
reaches five, and a fifth column only makes the cards narrower until the rows
they hold start truncating again.

Measured at 1366, 1600, 1920 and 2560: three, four, four, four.

The floor-plan preview drops from 500x385 to 390x300. At the old size it
covered the row it was launched from, which is the row you are trying to read.

f66763e6df tools: a Tech Tools section, starting with codes on label stock
A place for the small utilities a technician reaches for at a bench. The
plugin owns no API and no tables: every tool runs entirely in the browser,
so an air-gapped site gets them for free and a bad network cannot break
them. Adding the next tool is a view, a route, and one entry in tools.js.

First tool is a barcode/QR generator. Content is typed text, a URL, or a
CSV (content,label,copies - quoted fields and an optional header both
handled), so a batch of a few hundred is one paste. Label stock is
adjustable in inches with five presets, and the code renders to an SVG
data URI rather than a PNG: a bitmap gets downscaled to label size and
smears the module edges a scanner reads, where SVG rasterizes at the
printer's resolution with hard edges.

It also carries the dot-grid rule that is easy to get wrong by eye. A
thermal head cannot render a fraction of a dot, so a code sized off the
grid gets uneven modules; pick a DPI and the page says what the current
size lands on and what to use instead. The quiet zone is blank label
rather than white baked into the code, so it can be tuned - and it applies
to CODE128 too, which needs clear space at each end and was letting bars
run into the caption.

Tech Tools is the first bundled plugin that owns no schema, which two
guards did not model: it belongs in the universal installer profile, and
upgrade-all reports it 'no-migrations' where every plugin was assumed to
report 'ok'. The migration test now asserts that status explicitly for
schema-less plugins, so a table-owning plugin whose chain went missing
still fails.

"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.

PRINTER CARD is now supplies at or below 5 percent, a new
printers_dashboardpercent setting. The report and the card want different
scopes: the report lists anything the thresholds call low, which is right for
planning an order, while the dashboard is asking what to walk out and change
today - and a cartridge at 18 percent is not that. Lowest first.

PRINTER LOCATION WAS ALWAYS EMPTY. The lookup went through db.session.get on
locationid and produced nothing even where a location is set; the printers list
has always read it through the asset relationship, so the card does too now.

WARRANTY ROWS are identified the way the floor identifies them: the PC's
hostname and the MACHINE it drives, reusing the same lookup behind the warranty
page's machine column so the board and the report cannot disagree about which
bay a PC belongs to. No dates - expired or expiring is the whole decision when
scanning a board, and the exact day belongs on the report you order from.

NOTIFICATIONS are stacked: the type in full on one line, the message beneath,
trimmed to 100 characters with the rest on hover. Inline, the type was
truncated to make room for prose that was then truncated anyway, and neither
read. A tooltip is omitted when the text was not trimmed, because one repeating
what is already on screen is noise.

Two general additions: layout: 'stacked' on a card, and map.detailtooltip.

The printer card was a name followed by a comma-joined string of cartridges and
a location - the widest row on the board, and the one running past the card
edge.

Now: the printer name links to its page and reveals its location on hover, and
each depleted cartridge is its own chip showing "Black 4%", revealing the part
number to order on hover. The percentage says something is wrong; the part
number says what to do about it, which today means opening the printer's page
to find out. Every capacity tier is listed, as the report has always done.

Two additions to the card contract, both general: 'chips' maps a row key to a
list of {text, title, level}, and 'titletooltip' puts context on the row title.
Nothing load-bearing goes in a tooltip - hover is not discoverable and does not
exist on touch - so a chip always states the fact and only explains it on hover.

Chips are bordered rather than filled: a row of solid red pills reads as an
emergency even when a cartridge is merely low.

Also repaired a self-inflicted mess. A string-slice edit used a marker that
appears EARLIER in the file, so the slice was empty and two helpers were
injected at line 1, above the module docstring. Removed; the file parses and
the helpers live beside the route they serve.

Four fixes, all from looking at the real board.

"and N more" now links to a page showing them all. Telling someone 35 more PCs
are silent and leaving them to find the list is worse than not saying it. Each
card names its own destination and a test checks it against the routes that
actually exist - a viewall pointing at a route nobody wrote is the same rot the
endpoint check already guards, just failing in the browser instead of the API.

PRINTER ROWS ESCAPED THE CARD. A flex child will not shrink below its content
width unless told to, so text-overflow never engaged and a row carrying three
cartridge readings plus a location simply ran past the border. min-width:0 on
the row parts is what enables the ellipsis; meta shrinks first because it
matters least, and the card clips as a backstop.

THE STAT TILES WERE INCOHERENT. Two counted asset TYPES, two counted asset
STATUSES, and nothing said which - with the status one labelled "Active", which
reads as "not deleted" but meant status = In Use across every type. Each tile
now counts one thing and its label says so.

PCs GONE SILENT IS NARROWER, and better for it. A PC that never reported at all
is usually a hand-made or imported record rather than a bay that broke, and a
PC that is not In Use is silent ON PURPOSE - that is the status doing its job.
Both were burying the real signal: a machine that was working, is not now, and
nobody has marked as anything else.
