57845e1a9a log ignored agent collector keys for later UI enhancements
The endpoint agent now sends disk, bios, memory, processor, osinfo, and domain telemetry. The server does not persist these yet, so ingest logs any unpersisted payload keys with a compact preview. This makes incoming telemetry observable in the logs before any UI or schema work, so we can confirm the agent is sending it and enhance the UI later.

2a4b1bb040 Merge main into wj before taking wilm's work
wj held nothing main lacked - git cherry marks every one of its commits as
already present - but promotion cherry-picks, so the histories diverged and a
fast-forward is not possible. Merging rather than resetting keeps the branch
recoverable and needs no force-push.

Levelling first so wilm's patches apply against current product code.

Asked twice what "All assets" covered, which is the signal a label is
underspecified rather than a reader being slow.

The endpoint already counted every status to build its rollup and then returned
two of them, so a reader could see In Use and had no way to learn where the rest
of the total went. It now returns them all, and the panel lists them under the
total - indented and quieter, because they break the total down rather than
adding to it.

Three things this makes visible that were not guessable:

Retired assets are IN the total. Retired is a status on an active record, not
the same as deactivated, and seven of them sit inside this site's 610.

There is an "Inventory" status. I would have hardcoded In Use, In Repair and
Retired and silently dropped it. The rows are built from whatever the API
returns, sorted by count, so a status a site adds appears rather than
disappearing - which matters for sites adopting with their own seed data.

Rows held back by isactive are in NO status bucket, so they cannot be found by
adding the buckets up. That gap is exactly what makes a dashboard total
disagree with a list page, so the count is reported and captioned.

The caption states the counting policy - active records only, dual-bay pairs
counted once - and the dual-path clause renders only when that site toggle is
on, since asserting it unconditionally would be false at a site that has it off.

Full suite 2182, frontend 314.

The panel had no group label before it was one panel, so grouping it needed a
heading and it got 'Estate' - RMM idiom, and the word the leadership documents
already used for the whole of what a site owns.

Wrong register for this surface. The sidebar already groups exactly these things
under a section named assets, so the dashboard had invented a second word for a
group the app already names, and the panel's own total row says 'All assets' -
the heading and the total disagreed inside one panel. 'Estate' is also
enterprise-IT and largely British idiom; it earns its place in an executive
summary and not on a screen read at 6am.

The scoped classes follow the label, so the markup does not keep a word the UI
stopped using. The documents keep 'estate', where it is doing real work for a
leadership reader.

The bundle became one file per branch, but the frontend dists did not: they are
still frontend-dist-subpath-{ops,shopdb}, fixed paths, and update-prod-server.cmd
robocopies the shopdb one onto the production server with /MIR - a full mirror -
with no idea which branch built it.

So --dist from a site branch would have replaced production's frontend with
unreleased work at the next deploy, silently, and nothing downstream could have
told. Worse than the bundle collision it was sitting beside, because the dist is
what actually lands on the server.

Branch-qualifying the directories would only move the trap to whoever pointed a
deploy at the wrong one. Production runs the product, so the export now refuses
and says which commits to promote instead.

Promotion cherry-picks, which gives the commit a new sha on main. wj-status
compared by sha via main..wj, so after promoting ten commits it still listed all
ten as unpromoted - and would have invited promoting the same work twice.

git cherry compares patch content instead and marks an already-present commit
with a leading '-'. When nothing is genuinely outstanding it now says so, counts
what has already landed, and shows how far the branch is BEHIND main with the
rebase to run. Behind was the state that mattered here and the tool could not
express it at all.

Recorded that wilm no longer existed, on the evidence of the local gitea clone
where it was merged and its ref deleted. That was wrong. It lives on the
corporate GitHub and the other site is developing the .NET endpoint agent on it.

The dev box cannot see that branch - no account there - so its absence locally
was never evidence of anything, and fetch-wilm-branch.cmd on the share exists
precisely to bring it back for review. Says so now, so the next reader does not
draw the same conclusion from the same missing ref.

ef962a1bf9 Print the first-time path for a new branch on the work PC
The work-PC instructions began with 'git checkout <branch>', which fails the
first time a branch goes over because it does not exist in that clone yet -
exactly the moment somebody follows them most carefully. Nothing to check out,

Now prints both: fetch then checkout -b then push -u the first time, and the

03804bb996 Stop the promote script from deleting itself mid-run
promote-to-main.sh checks out main. The tooling lives only on the site branch,
so that checkout removes tools/promote-to-main.sh while the script is still
running - and bash reads a script lazily, by file offset, so it would carry on
executing whatever bytes happen to land there. While manipulating branches.

Not theoretical: main does not have tools/ right now, so the first real use
would have hit it.

Both versions now copy themselves to a temp file and re-exec from there. The
bash copy unlinks itself immediately, since the open handle keeps working. The
Windows copy has the same hazard for the same reason - cmd.exe re-seeks the
batch file after every command - and two extra traps worth naming: the copy runs
from %TEMP%, so the repository root has to travel with it rather than being
derived from %~dp0, and %errorlevel% inside a parenthesised block is expanded
when the block is PARSED, before the call it is meant to report on.

cd86c27969 Show a guest what they can see, not a blank page
A guest got a heading and nothing else.

THE STRUCTURAL FAULT WAS MINE

Moving the Estate panel into DashboardCards' rail slot put it behind that
component's root v-if, which was `liveCards.length > 0`. A guest is permitted
zero cards, so the whole component disappeared and took the slot with it. Before
that move the tiles were top-level and always rendered. The wrapper no longer
vanishes with the cards.

TWO LIES THE EMPTY STATE WAS TELLING

"Nothing needs attention" is now shown only to somebody who can see the checks.
A reader permitted none of them is not looking at a healthy fleet, they are
looking at nothing, and saying otherwise is the same fault as reporting Low
Supplies 0 while the monitoring is down. The count of PERMITTED cards is now
tracked separately from the count that currently hold rows.

The Estate panel no longer renders zeros for a caller who cannot read totals.
/api/dashboard/summary needs assets.view, and the failure was swallowed into an
empty object that drew a tidy column of zeros - an estate of nothing, stated
with confidence.

WHAT A GUEST GETS INSTEAD

Where they can go: the same permission-filtered navigation the sidebar uses,
which the server already filters to the guest role for a signed-out visitor. So
it cannot offer a link that dead-ends at the router guard, and this page names no
plugin it had to know about. Verified against the running instance - a guest is
offered Guides and Tech Tools, matching guides.view and tools.view.

ALSO: the measuring tools row

totalassets counts five types - machines, PCs, network, printers AND measuring
tools - but only four had rows, so the total stopped matching the addends above
it wherever gages exist: 610 of visible rows under a stated 729. That is exactly
the fault this panel was built to remove, and it looked right here only because
this database has no measuring tools. Every counted type now has a row.

Frontend 314 passed.

e65053feeb One bundle per branch, named after it
The export wrote a single shopdb-flask-pub.bundle whatever it published. That
was fine while only main was ever published, and became a trap the moment it was
not: exporting a site branch silently overwrote the bundle holding main's work,
and the work PC's documented "git fetch <bundle> main" then failed because that
ref was no longer in the file.

It had already happened here - two wj exports overwrote a main bundle from the
same morning. The failure is at least loud on the work PC rather than pushing
the wrong branch, but the main bundle has to be regenerated.

Now shopdb-flask-pub-<branch>.bundle. Two branches cannot share one filename.

the tree to the branch's committed state and discards everything rsync had just

d8a2bfeb29 Publish the branch you are on, not always main
export-github.sh syncs the WORKING TREE, not a branch, and then committed
whatever it found onto the publication repo's main and printed
"git push origin main".

So running it while checked out on a site branch published that site's work AS
THE PRODUCT, to the repository every other site consumes, and said nothing. The
branch model made that reachable in one wrong command, from a checkout that
looks completely normal.

It now reads the current branch, mirrors it in the publication repo (creating it
from main the first time, as in the dev repo), bundles that branch, and prints
work-PC instructions naming it. Publishing anything other than main also prints
a reminder that other sites read main and these commits are not there yet.

The publication checkout uses --force, which is safe only because that tree is a
mirror: the rsync has already replaced it, so there is nothing local to lose. It
would not be safe anywhere else.

Also cleans up the publication repo: origin pointed at a bundle in a scratchpad
from a session that ended long ago, and two orphaned remote-tracking refs
(github/main, wilm/review-fixes) survived the removal of their remotes. None of
it broke the export, which never pushes, but a `git fetch` in there failed with
a confusing path.

1cc725d4a7 Write down which branch work belongs on
The convention existed only in the scripts' comments and in one conversation,
which is not where somebody joining looks. CONTRIBUTING is.

Records the two branches, the Scope trailer, the promote flow, and the point
that most work is product: ADR-015 puts site differences in settings, seed data
or scripts/site_imports/<site>/, so a site branch is about timing rather than
locality.

Also names the failure worth watching. Promoting something site-specific by
accident is caught by the ADR-015 gate on the way into main. The real risk is
product work stranded on a site branch because nobody decided, which is what
turned wilm from a merge into a port.

e838aaf737 Say which wj commits belong on main
The scripts could move a commit to main but nothing said which commits should
go, and that decision does not survive being deferred: months later it is a list
of subject lines and a guess.

So it is recorded at commit time, as a trailer:

    Scope: product     the rest of the world should have it
    Scope: site        this site alone, keep it here

tools/wj-status.sh reads them and prints main..wj in three groups, with the
promote command for the ones marked product.

The path fallback is deliberately weak. Under ADR-015 the only site-specific
home in the tree is scripts/site_imports/<site>/ - everything else is meant to
be product, with settings and seed data carrying what differs between sites. So
"touches only site_imports" is the one confident site verdict paths can give,
and everything else is reported UNMARKED rather than guessed into a bucket. A
tool that quietly sorted commits by directory would be wrong often enough to
stop being read.

The unmarked message says which way to lean, because the failure mode here is
not promoting something site-specific by accident - the ADR-015 gate catches
that on the way in. It is product work sitting on wj forever because nobody
decided, which is how the wilm branch became a port rather than a merge.

28aee355f9 Add Windows versions of the push and promote scripts
Same two operations as the bash pair, for driving git from Windows rather than
from the development box.

CREDENTIALS ARE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY, ON PURPOSE

The bash version reads a token out of secrets.md and feeds it to git through
GIT_ASKPASS, because that box has no credential store. Windows has one: Git for
Windows installs Git Credential Manager and enables it by default, so `git push`
prompts once and Windows Credential Manager keeps it.

So the token handling is deliberately NOT ported. Copying a token into a script,
an environment variable or a remote URL on a machine that already has a
credential store is strictly worse than the thing it would replace, and the
comment in the file says so, because "make it match the other script" is exactly
the tidying somebody would otherwise do later.

THE PROMOTE SCRIPT REFUSES TO RUN WITHOUT BASH

scripts/check-naming-and-style.sh is a shell script, and it carries the ADR-015
site-literal check - the one gate that makes a site branch survivable rather
than a slow leak into the product. Skipping it on a machine without bash would
defeat the entire point of the script, so it stops and says how to fix it
instead of promoting without it.

CRLF

.gitattributes already pinned *.sh to LF so Git Bash can run them; *.cmd is now
pinned to CRLF for the same class of reason in the other direction. cmd.exe
parses a lone LF inconsistently around labels and goto, so an LF-only batch file
can run its happy path and then jump nowhere on the error path - which in a
promote script is the path that matters.

334bc5cd04 Add push and promote scripts for the wj branch
wj holds this site's work; main is the product every other site sees and the
publication mirror exports. Two scripts, one for each direction.

tools/git-push.sh pushes a branch without leaving the token behind. The way this
was being done by hand - rewrite remote.origin.url to embed the token, push,
rewrite it back - writes the token into .git/config in plaintext on every push,
and leaves it there if the push fails or the terminal closes mid-way, where
`git remote -v` will happily print it. Putting it in the URL on the command line
is no better: argv is visible in `ps` to every user on the box. The token now
goes in through GIT_ASKPASS, so it never reaches the config or the process list
and there is nothing to clean up when the script dies.

tools/promote-to-main.sh cherry-picks NAMED commits onto main, rather than
merging the branch. Merging takes the site-specific work along with the product
work, which is how a site branch quietly becomes the product; naming the commits
keeps that decision explicit and per change.

It runs main's gates after the pick and before any push, and does not push at
all - it prints what landed and leaves that to a human. The ADR-015 site-literal
check is the one that earns its place: it catches a hostname or share path
riding along in a commit that looked generic, which is the failure that makes a
site branch dangerous rather than merely awkward. It caught this very commit,
which named the site in a comment.

Both refuse a dirty tree. Pushing one pushes the last commit rather than what is
in front of you, and cherry-picking from one mixes uncommitted work into the
promotion. On failure the promote script aborts the pick and returns you to the
branch you started on, with main untouched.

an environment variable or a remote URL on a machine that already has a
credential store is strictly worse than the thing it would replace, and the
comment in the file says so, because "make it match the other script" is exactly
the tidying somebody would otherwise do later.

THE PROMOTE SCRIPT REFUSES TO RUN WITHOUT BASH

scripts/check-naming-and-style.sh is a shell script, and it carries the ADR-015
site-literal check - the one gate that makes a site branch survivable rather
than a slow leak into the product. Skipping it on a machine without bash would
defeat the entire point of the script, so it stops and says how to fix it
instead of promoting without it.

CRLF

.gitattributes already pinned *.sh to LF so Git Bash can run them; *.cmd is now
pinned to CRLF for the same class of reason in the other direction. cmd.exe
parses a lone LF inconsistently around labels and goto, so an LF-only batch file
can run its happy path and then jump nowhere on the error path - which in a
promote script is the path that matters.

wj holds this site's work; main is the product every other site sees and the
publication mirror exports. Two scripts, one for each direction.

tools/git-push.sh pushes a branch without leaving the token behind. The way this
was being done by hand - rewrite remote.origin.url to embed the token, push,
rewrite it back - writes the token into .git/config in plaintext on every push,
and leaves it there if the push fails or the terminal closes mid-way, where
`git remote -v` will happily print it. Putting it in the URL on the command line
is no better: argv is visible in `ps` to every user on the box. The token now
goes in through GIT_ASKPASS, so it never reaches the config or the process list
and there is nothing to clean up when the script dies.

tools/promote-to-main.sh cherry-picks NAMED commits onto main, rather than
merging the branch. Merging takes the site-specific work along with the product
work, which is how a site branch quietly becomes the product; naming the commits
keeps that decision explicit and per change.

It runs main's gates after the pick and before any push, and does not push at
all - it prints what landed and leaves that to a human. The ADR-015 site-literal
check is the one that earns its place: it catches a hostname or share path
riding along in a commit that looked generic, which is the failure that makes a
site branch dangerous rather than merely awkward. It caught this very commit,
which named the site in a comment.

Both refuse a dirty tree. Pushing one pushes the last commit rather than what is
in front of you, and cherry-picking from one mixes uncommitted work into the
promotion. On failure the promote script aborts the pick and returns you to the
branch you started on, with main untouched.

Some checks failed

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 14s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 42s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
Splitting "cannot see the cartridges" from "nothing is low" was right, but it
treated two unlike cases as one. isconfigured means enabled AND a URL AND a
token, so its absence means the site did not ask for supply monitoring at all -
and a permanent "Supply monitoring is not configured" line is a card reporting
nothing wrong every day, which is how a board teaches people to stop reading it.
It matters for sites adopting ShopDB without Zabbix, who would otherwise inherit
a warning about a feature they declined.

Not configured now returns a plain empty and the card hides. Only configured and
unanswerable reports itself, because that is something meant to work that is not
working.

Also withdraws an unfounded inference. A dev box has no route to Zabbix by
design, so "not reachable" there is the expected state and says nothing about
what production can see. The value of this change is not that it revealed a
production fault; it is that when production's Zabbix does go down, the board
will say so instead of displaying "Low Supplies 0".

Four tests pin the three cases apart: unreachable reports, unconfigured stays
quiet, and a real zero from a reachable Zabbix is not flagged as blindness. The
fourth holds the envelope's rows, since carrying a reason changed the response
shape. Verified they are not vacuous by restoring the original branch in place -
the unreachable test fails against it.

b80bd8731f Filter the queue by check, and say when a check cannot answer
TWO CONTROLS, ONE BOARD

Severity answers "how bad". It could not answer "what kind", and on a fleet
where eight endpoints go quiet at once, being able to set those aside and look
at the four crashes is the difference between a board and a list.

Chips per contributing check, coloured by its severity, composing with the
severity rollup above them. Both narrow what is already loaded rather than
refetching, so no combination can disagree with the counts. Picking a severity
that excludes the active chip clears the chip: two controls lit above an empty
queue, neither obviously wrong, is worse than losing the narrower one.

A chip counts every row, not the rows the queue had room for. A chip reading 5
above a "3 more" line would be its own small lie.

"LOW SUPPLIES 0" WAS NOT TRUE

Asked what happened to toner replacement, and the answer was worse than the
layout question that prompted it.

_get_low_supplies_data returned the same empty result for three different
situations: Zabbix not configured, Zabbix unreachable, and every cartridge
full. The dashboard strip therefore displayed "Low Supplies 0 / Critical 0"
while the monitoring was dead - and this instance is exactly that case, with
zabbix_enabled true against a URL nothing answers on.

So the strip removed in the previous commit was not information. It was
reassurance, and it read identically whether the printers were fine or nobody
could see them. That is the failure this codebase already names elsewhere: an
empty card and a broken card must not look the same.

The endpoint now distinguishes the three, and returns an envelope rather than a
bare list so a card can say WHY it has no rows. cardVisible shows such a card
whatever its empty rule, because "I cannot tell" is not "nothing to report".

It renders as a notice line, not a queue row: there is no asset to act on, and
burying "the monitor is dead" among the things it failed to find would be the
same mistake in a new place.

Note what this does NOT fix: the Zabbix URL on this instance is a dev
placeholder. The board will now say so instead of implying the cartridges are
full, but somebody still has to point it at a real server - and it is worth
checking what production points at, since nothing would have shown there either.

Frontend 314 passed (13 new), full suite 2178. The response shape changed from
a list to an envelope; no test depended on the old shape.

13c46af5ce Rebuild the dashboard around what needs a person
The board was one card per source in a fixed grid, and both halves of that hurt.

Every source got the same small box whatever it had to say. Warranties showed 5
of 50 behind "and 45 more"; the crash card truncated at 4; a one-row card sat
beside a four-row card and left a hole. Nothing had room, which is the complaint
that started this: not enough space to relay the data.

And a box per source flattened priority. An enforcement failure and a warranty
notice looked equally urgent because each owned a card, while the largest type
on the page belonged to counts that are true every day and need nobody.

WHAT THE PAGE IS NOW

A severity rollup, one worst-first queue of everything that needs a person, and
a row of context beneath it.

The queue merges every critical and warning row and sorts them, so reading order
is work order. It is full width, which is where the room came from. Rows are
capped per source, because fifty expiring warranties must not bury two crashed
PCs, and what did not fit is named per source with a link to it - a bare "and 45
more" that leads nowhere is worse than saying nothing.

The rollup counts ROWS, not cards, and filters the board in place rather than
navigating away, so the counts and the rows cannot disagree.

Severity, position and permission were already declared per card and already
sorted on. The old layout threw that away; this only stops it.

WHAT WENT, AND WHY IT SHOULD NOT COME BACK

Four asset tiles plus an "All assets" tile: machines + PCs + printers + network
IS all assets, so the page showed a total beside its own addends at the same
weight. It is now a line under a rule, where a total belongs.

The printer strip. It carried the printer count a third time - the tile row and
"Total Printers" were already the same number - and "Online" equalled total, so
three tiles held one fact. A genuinely low cartridge already reaches the queue
through the printers-supplies card, which is the moment anyone wants it.

Three cards whose whole job was to display 0.

Recent Devices: the largest block on the page, listing five machines that were
all "In Use" with business unit "TBD". Recency is not a reason to look at
something.

CONTRACT 0.26.0: 'shortname'

Cards may declare a short label for their rows in the merged queue. Their
'title' is written as a heading - "Endpoints with crashes or shutdowns" - and as
a row badge it ran wider than the hostname it qualified, putting the badge
rather than the asset at the start of every line. CSS-truncating the title was
tried first and was worse: four consecutive rows reading "ENDPOINTS WITH CR..."
say nothing at all. Optional and defaults to the title, so a plugin that does
not declare one is unaffected. Additive field, minor bump.

ALSO: "silent 1 days"

A meta suffix is written for the plural case and the card cannot know the value.
One row saying it was a shrug; the merged queue puts every quiet endpoint on one
screen, so it said it five times in a column and read as broken. Now singularised
at exactly 1, on the first word, keeping what follows: "1 event (48h)", "silent 1
day". The test asserting ' ms' survives is what caught the first version turning
it into ' m'.

DashboardRow.vue is extracted because the queue and the context panels render
the same row, and the map tooltip, link fallbacks and chips are too easy to get
subtly different in a second copy.

CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m7s
The triage band now answers the common case above the fold - what an asset
serves, or what drives it - so the full edge list below is reference rather than
the first thing to read. On a machine showing two relationships, both already
appeared in the band and the banner, and the card was a third copy.

Collapsed by default, using the same caret, roles and keyboard handling as the
collapsible panels on the same page rather than a second, slightly different
one.

The card is NOT redundant with the band and is not removed. It is the only
surface with Add Relationship and the per-row delete, and it keeps each edge's
exact type where the band deduplicates by asset. The printer page is the proof:
four rows there - usesprinter and defaultprinter, for each of two machines -
collapse to two band chips, and which machine DEFAULTS to that printer is a
distinction the band deliberately drops. Fine for triage, wrong for management.

THE COUNT IS OF WHAT IS RENDERED, NOT OF EDGES

A collapsed card that just says "Relationships" cannot be told from an empty
one, so the header carries a count. The first version counted raw edges and was
wrong on the first machine it was shown: a symmetric Dualpath link is stored in
BOTH directions in the legacy shape, so it is two rows in outgoing+incoming and
one "Connected" entry on screen. The badge read 3 above a card that shows 2 when
expanded - exactly the mismatch the badge exists to prevent. It now counts
rendered items.

Add Relationship expands the card before opening the modal, so a new row cannot
land behind a closed caret and read as the add having failed.

Verified on screen: machine reads 2 and matches, printer reads 4 and matches.

TWO STRIPS OF CHROME SAYING THE SAME KIND OF THING

The machine page opened with a banner - "Dual-bay machine - sibling bay: 2022" -
directly above a hero whose band said "Controlled by". Both answer "what am I
looking at", and splitting them across a banner and a band cost a strip of
vertical space to say so.

The sibling is now a chip in the band beside the controlling PC. The band takes
an `extraitems` prop rather than learning what dualpath is: the pairing is
resolved by the machines plugin, not from the relationships endpoint, so core
cannot derive it, and a dualpath-shaped prop on a core component would be the
machines plugin leaking upward. A page passes [{label, links:[{text, to}]}] and
the band renders it with its own markup, which also keeps the chips visually
identical to the ones it derives itself.

The label stays "Dual-bay sibling" rather than "Dualpath". The banner spelled
the meaning out because a dualpath pair is ONE physical machine in two bays; a
chip reading "Dualpath" would have dropped that.

THE GAGE PAGE FILTERED FOR A COUNTERPART THAT CANNOT EXIST

MeasuringToolDetail was wired counterparttype="machine" labelled "Used on".
Wrong on both counts. The import synthesizes one measuring-tool asset per
metrology PC and a 'controls' edge PC -> tool (stage_metrology), so a gage's
counterpart is a COMPUTER, exactly as on the machine page. Filtering for a
machine peer meant the band rendered nothing on every gage that has a PC.

It looked merely empty rather than wrong because this dev database holds one
measuring tool with no relationships at all, so there was nothing to be missing.
A hand-held gage genuinely has no such edge and correctly shows nothing; a
metrology station now shows the PC that drives it.

The relationships card stays. It is the only surface with Add Relationship and
the per-row delete, and it lists types the band filters out - the band is
triage, the card is management. It does now repeat what the band shows, which
is worth revisiting separately.

Three defects broke the loader's own documented resume guarantee. All three
were silent: nothing raised, the run finished cheerfully, and fewer rows
arrived than anyone counted.

THE PAGE SIZE WAS CLAMPED, SO THE 409-RESOLVE SEARCHED THE FIRST 100 ROWS

_upsert asked for ?per_page=10000 and read one response. The server clamps any
page size to MAX_PAGE_SIZE, which is 100 - not an error, not a warning, just
100 rows. Anything past that resolved to None, so the id never reached the
crosswalk and the run quietly dropped a model's link on every machine that used
it, or an application's installs.

The target already holds more than 100 models and more than 100 applications,
so this fired on any re-run or resume - exactly the case the loader documents
as safe.

_resolve_existing now tries the exact natural-key filter the API has exposed
all along (?modelnumber= on models, ?appname= on applications, ?vendor= on
vendors) and then pages properly, bounded. An endpoint without such a filter
ignores the unknown parameter and the paged walk finds the row.

stage_metrology repeated the same mistake in its own way: it skipped 409s
entirely, so a resumed run left the tool out of the crosswalk and the Controls
edge unmade - metrology PCs driving nothing. stage_printers already had the
resolve branch; that stage was written later and missed it.

THE CROSSWALK WAS NOT BOUND TO THE DATABASE IT DESCRIBED

idmap.json maps this site's legacy ids to assetids in ONE database, and those
assetids mean nothing anywhere else. Keeping it across a drop-and-rebuild left
warranties and printer assignments attaching to whatever asset now holds that
id: wrong data, no error. The runbook's two "drop and rebuild" steps never
mentioned the file.

The loader now writes a uuid marker into the TARGET's own settings table, so it
dies with the data, and stamps it into the crosswalk. A crosswalk built against
a different database is refused before a row is written. The database name
alone would not do - a rebuild keeps the name. A file written before this guard
is adopted rather than refused, so no existing crosswalk is stranded.

Also adds --idmap, so one checkout can drive more than one target.

THE SOURCE DATABASES ARE NAMED, NOT HARDCODED

'shopdb_src' appeared at 29 call sites, so aiming the loader at the prodscratch
restore meant editing run.py. Those names are now LOGICAL and resolved in
Source.db() from SOURCE_DB_MAIN / SOURCE_DB_USB / SOURCE_DB_EMPLOYEES, with
host, port, user and password overridable too. The call sites are untouched -
resolving centrally avoids missing one, and the literals now read as
documentation of which source a stage draws from. The run prints every source
it redirected, so "it imported nothing" can be told apart from "it read the
wrong database".

This is what stood between the loader and the prodscratch run.

TWO SMALLER ONES

_source_password() raised IndexError rather than its intended message whenever
the DATABASE_URL user is not root, which it will not be on a real server.

main() returned 1 on failure into a caller that discarded it. A run that logged
200 endpoint errors exited 0 and read as a success in a deploy log; it now
exits non-zero.

TESTS AND DOCS

The loader had no tests at all. Sixteen now cover the resolve, the crosswalk
binding and the source aliasing - the logic that can run without a MySQL
source, which is the part that was wrong. Verified they are not vacuous by
running the old algorithm against the same fixture: it returns None where the
new one returns the row.

The README claimed 15 stages "complete" with counts from 2026-07-13 that two
later routing changes invalidated, and the runbook told operators to verify a
fresh import against them. Both corrected, with the three gaps NOT fixed here
recorded plainly: warranties, notifications and knowledgebase POST without a
duplicate check so resuming across them doubles rows; there is no --dry-run or
target guard; and the verify stage counts target assets against source machines,
which is apples to oranges.

THE RECIPROCAL LINKS BUG

A PC's page showed "Serves machine 7803" at the top. The machine's page showed
nothing equivalent, though the same edge was right there in the relationships
card at the bottom. That asymmetry read as missing data and was reported as
such.

It was neither missing data nor an API fault. The endpoint returns both
directions and always did; AssetTriageBand already walked outgoing AND incoming
and deduped, with a comment explaining that production holds reciprocal rows.
It then discarded every peer whose asset type was not 'machine', and hardcoded
the label "Serves machine". So the component could only ever work from the PC
side, and it was mounted only on the PC page.

The counterpart type and label are now props, defaulting to the old values so
the PC page is unchanged. The machine page mounts the band with
counterparttype="computer" and the label "Controlled by".

Eliminated with evidence rather than assumed, because this bug had already been
misdiagnosed twice: the endpoint runs two queries and returns both arrays; the
generic card renders both; that route has no pagination to clamp; and a single
permission gate cannot admit one direction and not the other.

THE RELATIONSHIP TYPE WAS ALSO HARDCODED

Not every asset pair is linked by 'controls'. A machine reaches a printer
through usesprinter and defaultprinter, so the band was blank on the printer
page - the one page where the link is not obvious from the asset itself. The
types are now a prop, and the printer page passes its own.

THE CHIPS WERE DEAD LINKS

Found while adopting the band more widely. It linked to /assets/<assetid>.
There is no /assets/:id route and no catch-all, so every chip in the band was
dead - and this change would have propagated that to four more pages.

AssetRelationships.vue already resolved this correctly and privately. That
function is now frontend/src/utils/assetRoute.js and both components use it, so
a third caller cannot get it wrong again. Two things it gets right that are easy
to miss: the detail routes key on pluginid, not assetid, so passing assetid
opens the wrong record; and the lookup is now case-insensitive, because
csvimport.py seeds 'Computer' and 'Machine' capitalised while this site's
database holds them lowercase - a case-sensitive match produced dead links at
whichever site seeded the other way.

The band now carries pluginid and assettypename on each chip, which the
resolver needs.

TESTS

assetRoute had none and neither did the band. Seven cover the resolver,
including the assetid-vs-pluginid confusion and the seeding-case difference.

On the backend, nothing asserted that the TARGET of a directional edge receives
it in `incoming` - only that rows carry isdirectional. That missing assertion is
this bug's exact shape, so it is now pinned: the endpoint was right all along,
and the next such report should not cost anyone a re-diagnosis of the API.

Verified on screen: the machine page shows "Controlled by G6K76CW3ESF" in the
hero, the PC page is unchanged, and a page with no such link renders no empty
band. Full suite 2162 passed, frontend 280 passed.

docs/PLUGINS.md listed sixteen of the seventeen bundled plugins. The missing one
was endpoints - the newest, and the one another site is most likely to ask

The row records the two things that are not guessable from the name: it depends
on computers because an endpoint is telemetry ABOUT a PC asset rather than a
second record of it, and its four permissions are split deliberately. Read is
grantable to guests by the .view suffix rule; fleet, command and restart are
not, and the plugin declares no override, so the command channel cannot be
opened to anonymous callers by ticking a box.

Ingest is called out as NOT being a route here - agent reports arrive on the
generic collector route under a service token scoped collector.ingest.endpoints.
Somebody looking for the ingest endpoint in this plugin will not find one.

applications/ stays absent on purpose: it has no manifest and no plugin.py, so
per the manifest-less rule it is core frontend surface that always ships, not a

scan_sbom.py reported 50 advisory matches against shipped components, 16 of them
at or above HIGH. This clears all of them: the scan now reports 0 shipped
findings and the gate passes.

  pyjwt             2.12.1  -> 2.13.0
  idna              3.13    -> 3.19

  follow-redirects  1.15.11 -> 1.16.0
  form-data         4.0.5   -> 4.0.6

Every one is an in-major bump inside a range the manifests already allowed, so
this is a lockfile refresh rather than a migration. The Python side was compiled
with --upgrade-package for each name so nothing else moved; the diff is two
version lines and their hashes.

nanoid is worth recording: it is transitive under postcss at ^3.3.11, and its
advisories are fixed on both the 3.x and 5.x branches. 3.3.18 is the fix that is
actually reachable.

The declared floors for axios and dompurify were raised to the versions in the
lockfile. They were ^1.6.0 and ^3.4.11, which still nominally admitted the
vulnerable range - npm resolves to the highest match so an install was never
going to pick one, but the manifest should state the minimum safe version rather
than rely on that.

axios 1.20 adds optional proxy-agent support, which pulls https-proxy-agent and
agent-base into the tree. Both are Node-only and neither reaches the browser
bundle; the build was checked for them. The main chunk grew 256kB to 271kB
(85.7kB to 90.5kB gzipped) from the rest of the axios delta.

The PyJWT entry in the allowlist was removed rather than kept. It stopped
matching the moment the upgrade landed, and an allowlist that accumulates
entries for advisories that no longer apply is one nobody rereads. The reasoning
is preserved as the worked example in docs/DEPENDENCY-SECURITY.md.

The rollup took the highest fix version across a component's advisories. That
is wrong whenever an advisory is patched on more than one release branch.

nanoid is the case that exposed it. Both advisories against it are fixed on two
branches - 3.3.16 and 5.1.16, 3.3.18 and 5.1.6 - and the rollup recommended
5.1.16 with a MAJOR warning. But nanoid is transitive, pulled in by postcss at
`^3.3.11`, a range no 5.x release can satisfy. The recommendation was not merely
a bigger job than necessary, it was unreachable: the actual target is 3.3.18, a
patch inside the existing range.

Per advisory the target is now the lowest published fix above the version in
use; per component it is the highest of those, since one upgrade has to satisfy
every advisory against it. Fixes on older branches are skipped rather than
offered as a downgrade - axios advisories list 0.30.x fixes that would have been
a downgrade from 1.13.2.

This also gives the MAJOR label meaning. It now fires only when no fix exists on
the current branch, rather than whenever some branch happened to be higher.

794bb4668f Add vulnerability scanning on top of the SBOM
Some checks failed
CI / naming (push) Successful in 3s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 13s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
The SBOM was generated and installed onto every server, and nothing read it.
"Are we exposed to this advisory" was still a person going and looking, which
meant it happened when somebody remembered to.

scripts/scan_sbom.py queries OSV.dev by purl - no account, no API key, no agent,
no vulnerability database to maintain on a box that cannot reach the internet.
The SBOM is already the input OSV wants, so this is a lookup against what
shipped rather than a second scan of the tree that could disagree with it.

Three decisions worth recording:

Shipped and build-only findings are both reported, but only shipped ones can
fail a build. Two thirds of the components here are build tooling the SBOM
already marks scope 'excluded', and the highest-severity match in the whole tree
today is a CRITICAL against the test runner. A gate that fails a release over
that trains everybody to bypass it, and then it catches nothing.

Severity is taken from the advisory, never derived. Where there is only a CVSS
vector the report says UNKNOWN, which is shown and never gates. A guessed score
is worse than an honest gap because somebody would act on it.

The allowlist is a record rather than a mute button: each entry carries the
reason, the accepter, the date, and what would invalidate the reasoning. The
first entry is a worked example - a PyJWT algorithm-confusion advisory that
needs both mixed algorithm families and a raw JSON JWK as the key, and this
application configures neither.

The report ends with a per-component upgrade rollup, since that is the part
somebody acts on. A target on a different major version is labelled rather than
listed beside patch bumps as though the two cost the same.

Current state: 8 shipped components have fixes available, none of them
exploitable through a path this application opens today.

Three colour faults on the PC page, each hiding the next.

ACTIVITY BADGES WERE ALL GREY. The list renderer reads a badge colour from a
ROW FIELD, and the activity panel declared none, so every severity rendered
identically. The feed's whole job is to make a critical event visible and it
was painting it the same as a logon. The route now emits severitycolor - info
grey, warning yellow, critical red - and the panel declares it.

PAUSED AND THE TRANSITIONAL STATES WERE RED. statecolor was green-or-red-or-
grey, so a paused service looked like a stopped one. They are different: a
paused service was paused deliberately, and one stuck in Start Pending is
failing to start on a retry cycle - which is exactly what raises event 7011,
the thing behind the critical counts on the Fleet page. Both are amber now.

NAMED COLOURS ALWAYS GOT WHITE TEXT. readableText only parsed hex and returned
white for anything else, but panels emit NAMES. Green, red and grey are dark
enough that white worked by luck; amber is not, so the fix above shipped as
white-on-yellow and could not be read. Names resolve to hex before the contrast
test, so this holds for any named colour anywhere in the app rather than these
two panels.

colorStyle had no test file at all. It has one now.

Every one of these was found by looking at the rendered page. None of them
would fail a test that checked markup.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s
CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m4s
Reported from the Activity card: the header dot was red while every visible row
was info, because the critical event was older and sat further down the list.
The dot and the list appeared to contradict each other, and the only way to
find the critical was to scroll.

The dot is computed from all rows the panel received, so a red dot always means
a critical IS in the data. The chips are computed from that same array, which
means the count sits directly under the dot and the two cannot disagree by
construction: the card now reads 'Critical 2  Warning 1  Info 12', and one
click surfaces them wherever they sit in time.

Derived from the panel's EXISTING status declaration rather than a new one per
panel. A card that shows a health dot has already said what it dots on, so
Tracked Services and Tracked Processes get chips with no plugin change, and any
future list panel with a status rollup does too. Two declarations of the same
thing would eventually disagree.

Details that matter: a colour-keyed panel is labelled by meaning, so services
read Critical and OK rather than Red and Green; chips are ordered worst first
rather than alphabetically; and no selection means show everything, not hide
everything - a card that emptied when you deselected the last chip would read
as broken. Filtering to nothing says so, and gives the hidden count.

vitest 267 passed, including the exact reported case.

60c35728e8 Import USB records off an external cmmc_usb database, so a site can retire it
A site running external mode keeps its devices and check-in/out history in a
separate cmmc_usb database. There was no way to bring that in, so the choice
was to keep the second database forever or lose the history. This adds
'flask usb import-external' - dry run by default, --commit to write - which
reads through the same connection settings the routes already use and never
writes to the source.

Two things it has to reconcile, and they are why it is a command rather than a
few INSERTs.

The schemas disagree about SHAPE. External is an event log, one row per action;
self-hosted is a paired row carrying both times. Pairing walks each device in
time order, and real logs after years of use are untidy. The rule is that
nothing is invented and nothing vanishes: a drive still out becomes an open
checkout and is NOT flagged (that is just a drive somebody has), a return with
no matching issue is skipped and named, and two issues in a row leave the first
open rather than inventing a return time nobody recorded.

Identity is the other. usbdevices.serialnumber is unique and NOT NULL and the
external devices table has no serial, so device_id becomes it. Blank or
duplicated ids stop that device rather than inventing a key. external
device_owner has no column here, so it is appended to the device notes rather
than dropped.

Also adds usbcheckouts.scannedviruses, the one field with nowhere to land.
waswiped already means what external calls sanitized - selfhosted.py was
mapping it - but scanned_viruses was HARDCODED None in the log output: the API
promised the field and had nothing behind it, so an imported history would have
rendered blank. It now reads and writes properly.

Nullable, never defaulted to false. An unrecorded scan is not a failed scan,
and for removable-media records those are very different claims.

Full suite 2131 passed; seven new tests pin the pairing rules.

Reported from production: health showed '418 critical' while the ten most
recent events were all info. Both were true, which is the problem.

The health rollup counts critical events in a 48h window; the activity feed
shows the fifteen most recent events of ANY severity. A box that logged 418
service timeouts overnight and ordinary logons since produces exactly that
pair - a page contradicting itself with no way to tell why.

Two fixes.

The rollup now names the DOMINANT event instead of totalling: 'Service timeout
x418' rather than '418 critical'. Counting by event id costs nothing (one more
GROUP BY column) and turns a number into a lead. This is the same reasoning
that made health a phrase rather than a score; it stopped one step short.

The activity feed now fetches the newest criticals separately and merges them,
and keeps up to five of them when trimming to the cap. They hold their place in
time but survive the cut, so what health is reporting always appears in the
feed that exists to explain it.

Verified against the reported shape: 20 service timeouts two hours old under 12
newer logons. Before, the feed was fifteen logons; now it carries five critical
rows and health reads 'Service timeout x20'.

Worth noting the underlying signal is real - several hundred criticals on one
endpoint in 48h is a box crash-looping or a service failing on a retry cycle.
The display was hiding it, not inventing it.

b1b9cdda72 Add bulk actions to the Fleet list, with a confirmation that names machines

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 41s

Select endpoints, then Collect now or Restart across the selection. Restart is
gated on endpoints.restart, both are re-checked server-side.

The confirmation names the MACHINES, not just the hostnames:

    Restart 2 computer(s)?
    GJX9B2Z3ESF, HOST-7
    This STOPS the machines these PCs serve:
      DT Office

A dialog listing eight hostnames tells an operator nothing about what they are
about to halt, and that is the whole consequence of the action on a shop floor.
Where no machine is recorded it says so, because 'none listed' and 'we did not
check' are different things at 6am. Only possible now the Machine column exists.

A 409 is reported as a SKIP, not a failure. The queue permits one command in
flight per endpoint, so a bulk action across eight PCs where two are already
busy says '6 queued' and '2 skipped - a command is already in flight'. Folding
those into an error count would make a working button look broken.

Selections clear on every reload: the rows they referred to may not be on the
new page, and acting on an invisible selection is how bulk tools surprise
people.

No per-row buttons. They were built first, and a tenth column on a nowrap table
pushed itself off the edge - selecting one row costs a single click and leaves
one command path instead of two.

057cee1f02 Match the Fleet tile radius to the global card
The tiles were 6px while .card is 0.25rem, which left Fleet marginally rounder
than every other page. The global card treatment is a separate decision and has
been deferred; until it is made, this page should look like the rest of the app

Four things the mockup showed and the first cut did not have.

FLEET
  - A 'with critical events' tile, from the stability route that existed and
    nothing called. Clicking it narrows to rows whose health is not ok - client
    side, because the health rollup is assembled per row after pagination, so
    it narrows the PAGE rather than the fleet. Worth knowing before the count
    is read as fleet-wide.
  - PC type and Location filters. The list route already accepted both; there
    was simply no control. Both use listAll, not list: perpage is clamped to
    100 server-side, so a long location list would lose its tail in a dropdown
    while still looking complete.
  - The machine cell shows number and name together where they differ, so
    '3105 Okuma' rather than a bare number.

PC DETAIL
  - A Policy card, contributed by the computers plugin. It matters because the
    effective policy already narrows the command allowlist, so without it the
    reason a control is unavailable on a given PC is written down nowhere.
    Provenance, so it sits in the reference column, not the triage band.

    Its route returns an EMPTY field list rather than the feature-gate 404 when
    policies are disabled. The panel contract hides a card with no fields, so
    it disappears on sites that have not enabled the feature - a 404 would have
    rendered a broken card on most of them. That was flagged in the design
    review as a snag; this is the fix.

  - Refresh Status and Restart Computer moved out of the page header into the
    triage band. They act on the MACHINE; Print Label, Edit, Retire and Back to
    List act on the RECORD, and mixing them put the most consequential button
    on the page - it halts whatever machine the PC serves - between printing a
    sticker and editing a form. In the band it sits beside the liveness chip
    and the machine it would take down.

    The band takes them through an 'actions' slot rather than knowing about PC
    verbs, so a measuring tool can put 'Calibrate' there without the core
    component learning anything about computers.

414a7243d7 Merge events and commands into one Activity feed, and lead with live state

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 42s
CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m9s
Two changes to the PC page, both about what a responder meets first.

LIVE STATE FIRST. The contributed panels moved to the head of the card flow.
The grid is a two-column FLOW (column-count, with display:contents on the
column wrappers), so a card cannot be pinned to a side and only document order
decides where it lands - putting the panels first fills the left column with
endpoint status, services, processes, interfaces and activity, and leaves
identity, hardware, network and location to the right. Panels still self-order
among themselves by declared position and still self-hide when no plugin
answers for the asset type.

ONE ACTIVITY FEED replaces the Recent events card. Events and commands answer
the same question - what happened to this box - and reading them as two lists
meant interleaving by eye. GET /api/endpoints/asset/<id>/activity merges them
newest-first, capped at 15. Both are keyed by assetid, so it is two indexed
reads and a merge sort rather than a join, and it renders through the existing
ADR-010 list renderer with no bespoke frontend work. A failed command is marked
critical, because that is the row somebody needs to notice. Not collapsed by
default, unlike the card it replaces.

The core AuditLog is deliberately NOT a third source: its rows carry the action
as the entity name and the asset only inside a details string, so including it
would mean parsing prose to find out which machine a row belongs to.

Requester names are withheld from callers who cannot themselves issue commands,
via caller_holds. A read-only viewer - a guest, on a site that grants this
panel - gets the history without a roster of who restarted what, and the lookup
is skipped entirely rather than fetched and discarded. requestedby holds a user
ID, so names resolve through one batched query, not one per row.

Verified on dev telemetry: a queued command shows as 'Collect now / Pending by
admin' above the Windows events, ordered by time.

0f9ffdb2f1 Put the 6am answers at the top of the PC page, and stop saying things twice
Adds a shared triage band to the PC detail hero: is it alive, what stops
without it, how do I reach it.

'Serves machine' is the reason it exists. On a shop floor a PC matters because
a machine stops without it, and that fact was buried in the generic
relationships card at the bottom of the page. Both edge directions are read,
deduplicated, and filtered to assets typed 'machine' - production holds
reciprocal rows, so reading one direction shows the link on half the pages and
not the other half.

The band is a CORE component, not a PCDetail block. Five asset detail pages
already rebuild the same hero and grid independently, which is how they drifted
apart; machines, printers and network devices can drop this in rather than
growing a sixth copy. Liveness is passed in rather than fetched, because only a
plugin that collects telemetry can answer it and a site may not have one.

The status chip's verdict comes from the SERVER: /api/endpoints/<id> now
returns the same reporting/quiet/never it computes for the fleet list. The
quiet window is a site setting, so a threshold guessed in the browser would
disagree with the Fleet list about the same endpoint the moment a site changed
it.

Two cards removed from the body:

  - Remote Access duplicated the band's chips. It is what a responder clicks
    first, so it belongs above the fold, once.
  - Status was worse than duplication. It reads the COMPUTER RECORD, while the
    endpoint panel beside it reads live agent telemetry, and on an
    agent-managed PC the record fields sit empty - so the page rendered 'Last
    Reported: Never' a few inches from live telemetry saying otherwise. It now
    renders only when that record actually holds something, which is the case
    on sites running the asset-report script instead of the agent.

Verified against dev telemetry: band shows 'Reporting, 1 h ago', the machine it
serves, and its access chips; both duplicate cards are gone.
