Design record for distributing optional plugins across GE sites: a small
mandatory core plus a catalog of optional plugins, packaged as signed
versioned artifacts, served from a transport-agnostic read-only shelf (a
SharePoint-synced or sneakernet folder - untrusted either way because every
decision-bearing byte is signed), verified at adopt AND at every load and
migrate. Lean per-site builds stage only chosen plugins into the backend
image and SPA bundle.
Status PROPOSED. Grounds the design in the real loader/contract/migration/
frontend code and records defects to fix along the way (upgrade-all
migrating unadopted folders, enable-without-install, reverse-dep checks
blind to unloaded plugins, missing cycle detection and dependency closure,
hardcoded plugin imports in the SPA router). Honest on scope: the frontend
re-org is the long pole (one core-router change plus per-plugin relocation),
not a mechanical move. Phased 0-5 with schema-lean and runtime-JS delivery
explicitly deferred.
Four data-only hooks on BasePlugin (get_settings_cards,
get_asset_panels, get_map_overlays, get_asset_presentation) with a
GET-only /api/pluginui consumer surface copying the dashboard-widgets
semantics. Pilots: warranty declares its asset panel; measuringtools
supplies its settings card, presentation, and calibration overlay -
the last hardcoded settings-nav entry is now hook-sourced. Generic
renderers for panels/overlays/presentation deferred per the ADR's
incremental adoption plan (documented in CONTRACT-STABILITY.md).

Records the approved domain rename (equipment plugin/tables/API ->
machines) and the lossless retyping of the models catalog (legacy
machinetypes -> modeltypes), with migration placement per ADR-008.
Implementation lands in the following commits.

ADR-010 (PROPOSED): four data-only frontend hooks following the
get_reports precedent - get_settings_cards, get_asset_panels,
get_map_overlays, get_asset_presentation - batched as a future contract
0.7.0. Warranty proves asset panels first, measuringtools the rest;
accept only after both run on the hooks.
Display-label swap Equipment -> Machines across nav, list, form,
detail, search, map editor, and settings copy (incl the API-failure
fallback nav). Identifiers unchanged: plugin name, tables,
/api/equipment, asset type, and routes all stay.

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.

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.
