- flask plugin new now scaffolds the frontend too: List/Detail/Form
views on the global styles, a gated route module (ADR-009), and an
api-client snippet emitted into the plugin dir. Views are written
before the route file so a partially generated plugin cannot 500 the
dev server.
- docs/PLUGIN-EXTERNAL-REPO.md + scripts/test-external-plugin.sh: how a
sister site develops a plugin in its own repo and runs the framework
contract tests in CI against a pinned framework ref (script verified
to fail on a broken core_version pin).
- docs/CONTRACT-STABILITY.md: settled vs churning contract surface and
the provisional 1.0 criteria.
- CLAUDE.md active-state refresh (contract 0.6.0, 11 plugins, 340
tests, measuringtools done).
Known limitation documented: Path.rglob does not descend symlinks, so
the import-surface contract test skips symlinked external plugins.

PLUGIN-QUICKSTART Step 7 is now a concrete 7-item checklist (view
conventions, route auto-discovery + ADR-009 gating meta, api client
shape, nav/report hooks, settings auto-nesting, verification).
New tests/test_docs_contract.py introspects BasePlugin and fails CI when
a public hook is missing from PLUGIN-HOOKS.md or the documented contract
version drifts - it immediately caught two undocumented hooks
(get_provisioning_note, get_config_schema), now documented.

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.

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

Migration runner ready and a sister site can deploy from a clean
checkout with one .env file.
ADRs relocated (migrations/adr/ -> docs/adr/):
- migrations/ is now Alembic territory, not docs.
- All cross-references updated: CLAUDE.md, docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md,
docs/PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md.
Alembic initialized (migrations/):
- env.py, script.py.mako, alembic.ini copied from Flask-Migrate
templates so `flask db migrate` and `flask db upgrade` work without
a one-time `flask db init` (which would clash with the existing
migrations/ directory).
- Baseline migration generated via autogenerate, captures all 47
tables (core models + 6 plugins) as the upgrade target. Ready for
per-site `flask db upgrade` from an empty schema.
Deploy artifacts:
- Dockerfile: python:3.12-slim base, gunicorn server, non-root user,
healthcheck against /api/auth/login. Single image bundles all six
plugins; sites enable via `flask plugin install <name>`.
- docker-compose.yml: MySQL 8 + API container, healthcheck-gated
startup, env-driven secrets that fail loud on missing values
(`${SECRET_KEY:?}` form).
- .env.example: full env-var inventory with comments. Calls out
required vs optional. Matches what ProductionConfig.validate
enforces.
docs/DEPLOY.md:
- Step-by-step per-site runbook: clone, configure .env, bring up
stack, run migrations, seed reference data, install plugins,
create admin, front with TLS, backups, updates.
- Common-issues table.
- Cross-links to ADR-004 (per-site rationale), ADR-003 (plugin
distribution), and the config source.
Skills:
- migrating-asset-schema: Alembic + one-shot data migration policy.
Rules: additive first, renames are three steps, destructive ops
need rollback, equipment migration filter per ADR-001 + ADR-005.
- hardening-flask-config: production validation, CORS allowlist
policy, JWT cookie hardening, per-site deploy isolation per ADR-004.
CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the post-Phase-5 state. No tests added
this commit; the Alembic baseline is exercised by the existing
db.create_all-based test suite (tests do not touch the migration
runner; that's by design until per-plugin migrations land).
Test count unchanged: 101 passing.

Lowers the barrier for sister sites to build their own plugins.
Generated output satisfies the framework contract out of the box.
CLI command (shopdb/plugins/cli.py):
- `flask plugin new <name> --description "..."` generates a plugin
skeleton under plugins/<name>/. Validates the name against
CONTRIBUTING.md rules (lowercase letters/digits only, no
underscores or hyphens, not in the reserved list) and refuses to
overwrite existing plugins unless --overwrite is passed.
- Output prints the next steps (install, migrate, test).
Scaffolder (shopdb/plugins/scaffolder.py):
- validate_name: enforces the naming rules
- pascal_case: lowercase-to-PascalCase for class names
- scaffold_plugin: copies templates with string.Template
substitution. Three placeholders: $name, $Name, $description.
Files with `model.py` in the path get renamed to <name>.py.
Templates (shopdb/plugins/templates/):
- manifest.json.tmpl: name, version 0.1.0, description, core_version
range >=0.1.0,<1.0.0 (broad enough to survive minor framework bumps)
- plugin.py.tmpl: <Name>Plugin class extending BasePlugin with all
required hooks implemented (meta from manifest, get_blueprint
returning the bp, get_models returning the example model). Includes
on_install hook that seeds the AssetType row.
- models/__init__.py.tmpl + models/model.py.tmpl: Asset extension
table keyed by assetid with one example field. TODO comment marks
it as a placeholder.
- api/__init__.py.tmpl + api/routes.py.tmpl: Blueprint with list and
detail endpoints using the framework's pagination + response helpers.
- schemas/__init__.py.tmpl: marshmallow schema stub.
- tests/__init__.py.tmpl + tests/test_plugin.py.tmpl: smoke tests
asserting plugin loads, get_blueprint returns Blueprint, get_models
returns at least one model.
- README.md.tmpl: one-pager for plugin authors with common edits and
next-step references.
Canary tests (tests/test_plugin_scaffold.py):
- 14 tests asserting the scaffold output passes contract checks.
- Validates name rules (lowercase, reserved, hyphens, digits, etc.)
- Verifies all expected files generated, manifest fields present.
- Loads the generated plugin via PluginLoader (spec_from_file_location
bypasses the real `plugins` package shadowing).
- Asserts subclasses BasePlugin, get_blueprint returns Blueprint,
get_models returns model with __tablename__.
- Module-scoped fixture; cleans up sys.modules + SQLAlchemy metadata
on teardown to avoid cross-test contamination.
Quickstart docs (docs/PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md):
- 30-minute walkthrough: scaffold -> edit model -> add routes ->
install -> verify -> add hooks. Cross-links to PLUGIN-HOOKS.md and
the ADRs. Includes common-errors table.
Test count: 87 -> 101 passing.
