Adopting a site means getting its asset register in. The HTTP import API suits a
site with a source system and someone to script against it; a sister site with a
spreadsheet and no developer needs something else, and that is the common case.
FOREIGN KEYS TAKE NAMES. This is the whole design. A CSV row has to say where an
asset is, and the database stores locationid, an integer. Requiring the number
means importing locations, reading back the generated ids and pasting them into
the asset sheet - a workflow nobody finishes. Every foreign key here accepts
either a numeric id or the referenced row's name:
assetnumber,assettypeid,statusid,locationid
CMM-01,Measuring Tool,Active,Gage Lab
The column keeps its database name, per CONTRIBUTING.md; the value is whatever
the operator actually knows. Names resolve across files in one run, so
assets.csv can reference a location that only exists because locations.csv was
read moments earlier. A name that does not resolve is reported with its line,
column and value, not as a foreign key violation from three layers down.
Dry run is the default, and writes go into the transaction either way - the
rollback is what makes it a dry run. Skipping the writes instead made every
cross-file reference fail, which is the one thing a folder-wide check exists to
verify. Validation covers every row before anything is written, so a typo on
line 400 cannot leave 399 rows imported. Files are matched on a natural key, so
correcting a spreadsheet and re-running updates rather than duplicates.
TEMPLATES ARE GENERATED, NOT MAINTAINED. "flask csv templates" builds them from
the live schema, annotated with required/optional and which file each foreign
key refers to. The prompt for this was a hand-written template set that had
invented columns on seven of eleven tables and named a table that does not
exist, while looking entirely plausible - and described an import mechanism
(a Data Import page, a flask import-csv command) that had never existed. A test
fails the build if a generated template ever offers a column the schema lacks.
User accounts are deliberately not importable: passwords do not belong in a
spreadsheet in either direction.
Verified end to end against MySQL 5.6 - a folder dry run catching one bad
reference, the fix, the commit, and a re-run reporting updates rather than
inserts. 16 tests.
Most facilities consider a Dualpath pair one physical dual-bay machine.
New site setting dualpath_single_machine (default on): the machines
list, dashboard counts, machines-by-type report, and floor map collapse
each pair to its primary bay (lower assetnumber), with combined
2007 / 2008 labels; pagination totals stay honest. Detail pages remain
per-bay and always show a dual-bay sibling banner linking the partner.
Pair resolution lives in core services and joins the plugin contract
surface (0.8.0 -> 0.9.0).
On the WJ dataset: 31 pairs collapse, machine counts 262 -> 231, map
470 assets. Toggle verified live in both states, left on.

Verification audit (re-run of the 6 skill lenses) confirmed the prior fixes hold
and surfaced a few misses:
Security (HIGH):
- search.py _check_smart_redirect still opened a raw pymysql connection with
root/rootpassword (reachable on any 9-digit SSO query). Now uses the shared
env-backed employee_connection helper.
- Deleted dead shopdb/core/services/employee_service.py (zero importers; carried
another root/rootpassword literal). No hardcoded credentials remain in app
logic; config.py dev defaults stay gated by ProductionConfig.validate.
Dead hook:
- get_services was implemented by the printers plugin but had no consumer (docs
claimed otherwise). Added PluginManager.get_service(name) that resolves a
service from enabled plugins; updated PLUGIN-HOOKS.md.
Tests:
- search disabled-plugin exclusion (the high-value gap): enabled plugin's
hostname appears, disabled plugin's hostname drops out (searched by a hostname
distinct from assetnumber so only the gated domain can match).
- get_service consumer test (unknown name -> None).
Simplify:
- Extract the triplicated GE_LOGO_SVG + loadLogo + drawLogoOverlay into shared
frontend/src/views/print/qrLogo.js (renderQrDataUrl); both QR views use it.
- applications.py: lift the misplaced pagination import to the top; drop unused
Computer unpacking in the 3 endpoints that only touch ComputerInstalledApp.
154 tests pass, naming/style green, app boots, QR render verified.
