Adds PolicyActionHold so an admin can suspend specific actions on a computer without editing the policy itself, covering the break-glass case where a machine must be quiesced immediately. Holds cover multiple actions in one atomic submission rather than one row per action, so a partial failure cannot leave a half-applied hold. Duration is free-form with 0 meaning indefinite (migration 0006 makes expiresat nullable); the prior fixed ceiling was removed because an admin quiescing a misbehaving machine does not know in advance how long it needs, and a hold silently expiring is worse than one that must be cleared deliberately. The What This Does explainer reflects indefinite holds.
collect_now exemption: refreshing status was denied on any endpoint with a non-empty effective policy even when the caller held the matching grant, because policy intersection silently removed the action. collect_now is a read-only status refresh with no side effects, so it now sits in POLICY_EXEMPT_ACTIONS alongside the other routine actions. Verified against a synthetic non-empty policy: operators can refresh status again while every write action stays gated.
Configuration policies need a way to attach process/service monitors so drift can be evaluated against a machine's desired state. This wires the policy resolver and routes to the shared monitor catalog and adds an action picker UI that can create process monitors with an optional launch path.
The branch stored scopejson, desiredstate and params as sa.JSON, the only JSON
columns in the product. MySQL 5.6 has no JSON type - it arrived in 5.7 - and the
migration failed there with a bare syntax error near the word JSON.
They are TEXT now, through a JSONText type decorator, so the seventeen call sites
still assign and read dicts. The convention elsewhere is already TEXT:
guides.blocksjson, geenforce.manifestjson.
Spec regenerated: 331 paths, 477 operations across 22 surfaces.
Default fuzzy reconcile threshold to 0 and refuse merges when digit runs differ so numbered labels like Bay 311 never bind to Bay 310. Keep edit forms from clearing saved model fields when category filtering hides untyped rows. Includes in-progress computers policy and endpoints command feature work.
PC records now carry Entra/Azure device identity so imported machines keep a durable link back to their directory object instead of matching on hostname alone. Adds azuredeviceid, azureobjectid, and azuredevicecategory to the Computer model with matching migrations, surfaces them read-only in PCDetail as an Entra Device Info card, and lets PCForm edit the device id directly. The computers plugin registers a machineassetnumber import hook that reconciles PC-to-machine links during bulk import and warns on unresolved or conflicting relationships.
Adds importsources adapters that normalize Azure device-group and Thor PC inventory exports into canonical ShopDB CSVs via hostname alignment, exposes register_import_hook and RowWarning on the shopdb.api contract surface (contract 0.21.0), and refreshes the Import Site Assets page with clearer source instructions. Includes reconcile_locations maintenance script and coverage for the new import paths.
