Two unrelated things found while looking at blank printer types.
Selecting a filter while past page one returned an empty list. The filter asked
the server for page 5 of a result set that now had one page, and the screen said
nothing matched. useListQuery already resets the page - setSearch and setExtra
both do - but the filter dropdowns bypassed it and called the loader directly.
Nine list pages now route through applyFilter, which calls setPage(1) when it
needs to and loads directly when already on page one, so the composable's URL
watcher does not also fire and fetch twice.
scripts/retype_models.py addresses why printer types cannot be derived. The
catalog types every printer model "Printer": true, and useless, since it does not
say whether the product is a laser, a plotter or a label printer. That answer is
a property of the model - every VersaLink C405 is a laser MFP - but nothing
recorded it, so nothing could derive it. Recording it on the MODEL means the
existing backfill fills every printer by exact name match, and a printer added
later inherits the right type the moment its model is chosen.
It exports the models needing a decision to CSV with a type suggested from the
model number, a person corrects the column, and applying it is a dry run unless
given --commit. A suggested type is refused unless it already exists in that
asset class's own vocabulary, which is what keeps the later name match working.
The suggestion order matters and got this wrong first time: a generic plotter
pattern matched "Zebra ZT411" and filed a label printer as a plotter. Brands now
come before generic patterns, and the review step exists precisely because a
confident wrong guess would type every asset using that model.
Verified on the development database: 24 printer models need a decision, 22 got
a sensible suggestion, applying them let all 42 printers match a printertype by
name, and the transaction rolled back cleanly.
The KB list search matched only shortdescription + keywords, so searching a
topic (e.g. "Spotfire", the Application name) surfaced just the one article
whose title/keywords contained the word, not the others tied to it by topic.
Match the topic too via an appid IN (apps named like the term) subquery - used
instead of a join so it does not collide with the sort=topic join, and articles
with no app still match on title/keywords.
Relocate applications, geenforce, knowledgebase, and machines - each owns only
its own views dir, so a clean move to plugins/<name>/frontend/ (views/ +
routes.js, core imports rewritten to @/). geenforce's entryForm.js helper + its
vitest spec move with it (ManifestEditor imports it as a sibling).
Machinery fixes this batch surfaced:
- routes.gen.js codegen uses namespace imports (import * as p_x). A route file
without a `toplevel` export is undefined on the namespace instead of a strict-
ESM missing-binding build error.
- vitest gains a `pretest` stage so plugin-frontend specs (now under
plugins/<name>/frontend/) run from their staged copy in src/.plugins-staged/.
Verified live: GE-Enforce (the most complex, uses the entryForm sibling helper)
renders fully from its staged frontend. Build + 58 vitest + naming green.
DB review found four DateTime columns defaulting to db.func.now() (MySQL
session-timezone wall clock) while the rest of the schema stores naive UTC, so
one schema mixed two clocks and to_dict() labelled the local values UTC with a
'Z' suffix. Switch application.dateadded, computers.installeddate,
knowledgebase.lastupdated (default + onupdate), and slides.uploadeddate to the
module-level naive-UTC _utcnow callable already used elsewhere (apitoken.py).
ORM-side default only - no column-type change, no data migration; affects
new/updated rows.
Targeted tests pass (154); naming + pyflakes green.

Plugins list now carries a displayname (manifest display_name, else the
machine name title-cased). Adds display_name to the four whose title-case
was wrong: GE-Enforce, USB, Measuring Tools, Knowledge Base. The setup
wizard Features step and Settings > Plugins render it, so "Geenforce"/"Usb"
are gone.
Finish step shows a pointer when GE-Enforce is enabled: it still needs a
scoped service token (Settings > API Tokens) and a share export root
(GE-Enforce page) before the fleet uses it - operational config the wizard
does not collect.
frontend build green; naming green.

Plugins declare their own RBAC permissions instead of core accumulating
them: 36 permissions moved out of the core catalog into the 9 owning
plugins (core keeps the 19 its own blueprints enforce). The catalog is
resolved dynamically (core + enabled plugins) and feeds the roles grid,
the token scope picker and ceiling, and flask seed permissions;
installing or enabling a plugin seeds its permissions automatically. A
disabled plugin drops out of the assignable catalog while existing role
links keep working. New plugins - bundled or external - now bring their
permissions with zero core edits.
781 tests pass; live-verified with a machines.edit-scoped token.

Goal: an LLM or script can migrate an entire legacy database using only
the HTTP API - original history preserved, safely re-runnable.
- X-Import-Mode header (admin only): create/update endpoints across 15
timestamped entity types accept original createddate/modifieddate;
helper exposed via shopdb.api (contract 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0).
- Exact-match natural-key lookup filters on 13 list endpoints for the
lookup-then-upsert recipe.
- Selfhosted USB checkout/checkin accept backdated event times in
import mode.
- docs/IMPORT-API.md: operator manual grounded in the real legacy
schema - order of operations, full table-by-table mapping including
the machines fan-out, idempotent Python importer with dry-run, parity
checks, and decided dispositions for unmigrated tables (DNC config
stays live-fed via the collector; supportteams/appowners map to the
upcoming supportteams model).
635 tests pass; naming green; frontend untouched.

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.

Make the app distributable to other GE Aerospace sites (one self-hosted
instance per site, ADR-004). GE values remain the shipped defaults; every
site-specific behavior is now a Setting an admin can change in the UI.
Settings-driven site config:
- Branding: site/QR/badge logos, favicon, primary color (upload endpoints
mirror the map-blueprint pattern; new Settings > Branding section).
- ServiceNow: search/incident/change URL templates ({ticket}), ticket
prefixes, enable toggle. Defaults point at the current
geaerospaceqa.service-now.com global search. Disabled = plain-text tickets.
- Employee-id regex (employeeid_pattern), printer hostname template,
QR label targets (qr_target_printer / qr_target_usb, blank = asset page,
else URL template with placeholders), usb_label_style (barcode|qr).
- West Jefferson floor-plan PNGs removed from the tree; generic placeholder
ships as the map default and sites upload their own blueprint.
Security closeout:
- dashboarddefaults writes now require admin.
- Collector: generic error messages (no str(exc) leak); API key accepted
via X-API-Key header only (BREAKING: querystring api_key removed).
- IP-based login rate limiting (AUTH_RATELIMIT_* knobs) atop account lockout.
- Setting.set() creation race fixed (IntegrityError retry).
Release engineering and docs:
- __version__ 0.5.0 (distinct from __contract_version__, ADR-007),
CHANGELOG.md, Gitea Actions CI config, frontend version aligned.
- One wizard-first install story across README/DEPLOY; new CONFIG.md,
UPGRADE.md, BACKUP-RESTORE.md; CLAUDE.md and ROADMAP de-staled.
- Dockerfile multi-stage build now bundles the frontend; compose binds
MySQL to 127.0.0.1; stale database/schema.sql and one-off SQL removed.
Debt and fixes:
- .query.get() -> db.session.get() sweep; datetime.utcnow() removed
(naive-UTC via timezone-aware now); users.py on authz decorators.
- Fixed 4 stale tests (slides feed shape, shopfloor splitperemployee,
plugin contract purity) and the USB label page field mapping (both usb
modes emit the cmmc shape: device_id/device_desc).
- Health endpoint reports the real version.
248 tests pass; naming/style check green; frontend builds; fresh-DB
flask db upgrade + seeds verified; QR targets verified by decoding
rendered codes.

Feature work from the 2026-07 session:
Settings IA
- Replace the flat 27-card settings hub with a persistent two-pane shell
(SettingsLayout.vue): grouped, searchable left rail + content pane.
- Nest all settings/* routes under the shell via router post-processing;
shared nav catalog in settingsNav.js. Group by asset class (PCs, Printers,
Equipment, Network) so per-type settings stop scattering.
Custom fields (core)
- customfields + customfieldvalues tables (migration 7d14), CRUD API at
/api/customfields, per-asset value get/save.
- Settings management page + reusable CustomFieldsSection (detail) and
CustomFieldsInputs (form) wired into all four asset types.
Warranty (new plugin)
- plugins/warranty: warranties + warrantyassets (migration 7d15), derived
coverage status, provider abstraction (manual now; Dell/Lenovo/HP stubs).
- API CRUD + per-asset panel + report buckets; WarrantyPanel on all four
detail pages; Warranties management page; Warranty report + Reports card.
- Seed warranty.* permissions.
Printer drivers
- printerdrivers table (migration 7d13) linked to printer models; drivers now
surface on the matching printer's detail page.
Other
- PCDetail rebalanced (Network + Status + Warranty + custom fields on the right).
- Rename PCs list "Features" column to "Remote Access"; fix badge hover underline.
- Drop equipment islocationonly field.
- Centralize asset-type label/route maps into utils/assetTypes.js.

First feature extracted from core into a plugin per "plugin is the product",
mirroring the notifications plugin. KB is a NON-asset plugin: it contributes a
model + blueprint + nav item but registers no AssetType.
- plugins/knowledgebase/: manifest.json (api_prefix /api/knowledgebase, no deps),
models/ (KnowledgeBase, contract-pure imports via shopdb.api), api/ (the
blueprint, same routes/prefix so the frontend is unchanged), plugin.py
(get_blueprint + get_models + get_navigation_items).
- De-cored: removed shopdb/core/models/knowledgebase.py + api/knowledgebase.py,
their __init__ exports, and 'knowledgebase' from CORE_BLUEPRINT_NAMES; dropped
the hardcoded KB nav item from dashboard.py (now via the plugin nav hook).
- search.py and reports.py lazy-import KnowledgeBase from the plugin and degrade
gracefully (search skips via _require_enabled when disabled; kb-popularity
report returns 503 if the plugin is absent).
- Registered in instance/plugins.json (enabled).
The knowledgebase table stays in the core Alembic chain (bundled-plugin schema
folded into core, ADR-004); the model just maps it. KB was never in the
shopdb.api contract surface, so no __contract_version__ bump.
Pinned with characterization tests first (test_knowledgebase.py); they pass
unchanged against the plugin blueprint. 163 tests pass, naming green, app boots
7 bundled plugins, KB endpoint/nav/search verified live.
