Three defects, all found on printedparts_label_prefix, all one root cause:
nothing in the framework knew that setting existed.
The parts kiosk runs logged out. An unauthenticated read of a setting is
limited to an allowlist, the key was not on it, so the kiosk got a 404 and
fell back to no prefix. An admin previewing the same page while logged in saw
the prefix, which is why it looked like it worked.
The same setting also looked like it would not save. The row did not exist on
a site that installed the plugin before the setting was added, so the first
save created it - under the placeholder category the settings API uses for
keys it does not recognise, where the plugin's settings page, which lists by
category, could no longer see it. The value was in the database the whole
time.
And the row was missing in the first place because seeding ran from
on_install / on_enable, which fire only on a state transition. Neither runs
again on an upgrade, so a setting added in a later plugin version never
reached a site that installed an earlier one. The comment claiming enable ran
every upgrade cycle was simply wrong.
A plugin now declares the settings it owns in get_settings_defaults(): key,
default, type, category, description, and whether a logged-out page may read
it. The framework seeds declared keys at install, at enable, and on every
flask plugin upgrade-all; files a first-time write under the declared
category; re-homes any row left in the placeholder category, value untouched;
and answers an anonymous read for keys marked public. Core carries no list of
any plugin's keys.
Contract 0.16.0 (additive optional hook). printedparts and printers move to
the hook and floor their core_version at 0.16.0. The dev database had two rows
in the misfiled state (printedparts_alert_email, employee_db_host); the first
repairs itself on the next upgrade pass.
Two things a second site ran into.
The network device form asked for the map position as two raw numbers, so
placing a device meant reading coordinates off another screen and typing them
in. Machines, PCs and printers have had a "Set Location on Map" picker all
along, and the network API already accepted mapx and mapy - only the form was
missing. Same picker, same modal.
The 3D parts kiosk hardcoded 'WJ' as the prefix shown before the number box,
with a comment inviting whoever needed something else to edit the source. That
is West Jefferson's gage-lab tag format and nobody else's, so another site's
operators were told to expect letters that are not on their labels.
It is now printedparts_label_prefix, set in Settings, defaulting to EMPTY - a
site that has not set one sees no prefix rather than inheriting another site's
convention. West Jefferson sets it to WJ once. The kiosk hides the prefix
entirely when unset and falls back to no prefix if the setting cannot be read,
because a cosmetic hint must never stop a kiosk working.
Not to be confused with printedparts_code_prefix, which mints item codes like
3DP0042 and was already configurable. That is the code we generate; this is the
tag already printed on the label.
Support teams gain a webhookurl (migration 7d29 + API + settings-page field), so
a team is a notification target. send_webhook(url=) lets a caller override the
site default with a team's webhook. Printedparts gains a 'alert support team'
setting (printedparts_alert_supportteamid) + selector on its settings page;
low-stock alerts post to that team's webhook, falling back to the site
alert_webhook_url. Email leg unchanged. Same pattern extends to other alerting
plugins (printers low-toner next).
printeditemfiles lands as the plugin's first incremental migration
(0002 on the plugin chain - the ADR-008 payoff). Revisions are
append-only per item: upload assigns the next number, records the
uploader from the JWT, enforces an extension allowlist and a 100 MB
cap; download serves the original filename; a permission-gated delete
covers wrong-file mistakes. The detail page gains the revision table
with a current badge. Unique storedfilename is sized 191 so the index
fits MySQL's 767-byte prefix - the per-plugin chain does not apply the
core env's ROW_FORMAT hook.
Alert recipients gain roles: Role joins the 0.13.0 surface, a role
picker on the settings page, and every active member of the selected
roles is folded into the deduped recipient list.
Contract 0.13.0 puts the User model on the plugin surface. The
settings page gains a checkbox picker over the user list; selected
users receive low-stock alerts at their account email, merged and
deduped with the free-text address list, inactive accounts skipped,
site alert_recipients still the fallback when both are empty.
PrintedPartsSettings edits the four plugin settings (code prefix,
default threshold, kiosk badge policy, alert recipients) through the
core settings API; the route rides the plugin's router file and the
settings shell nests it into the rail; get_settings_cards contributes
the catalog card while the plugin is enabled.
Contract 0.12.0: send_email/send_alert join the plugin surface (the
mailer was core-only), PLUGIN-HOOKS and status docs updated, manifest
pins the new floor. The alert fires inside _ledger_write only when a
decrement CROSSES the item's threshold - one alert per depletion,
rearmed by restocking above - and is best-effort after the commit so
mail trouble can never fail a take. Recipients come from
printedparts_alert_email, falling back to the site alert_recipients.
on_enable re-seeds settings idempotently so existing installs pick up
new keys. Crossing/rearm semantics proven by test.
Three jwt-optional endpoints with ?format=csv, merged into the reports
hub via get_reports while the plugin is enabled. The stock report's
ledgerdelta column is the reconcile check: 0 for every item whose
stock moved through the ledger, nonzero for anything that bypassed it
(the hand-seeded dev rows demonstrate the catch). MySQL SUM returns
Decimal - cast to int or the delta serializes as a string.
get_permissions declares view/create/edit/delete/restock (seeded on
install/enable and by flask seed permissions); every write route adds
require_permission on top of jwt_required. New test proves
authentication alone is not authorization: a role-less member gets
403 where an admin succeeds.
GET /items (paginated, search across code/name/description/bin,
lowstock filter) and GET /items/<id> with recent transactions, both
open reads. printedpartsApi client, router file repointed at the
renamed views, PrintedItemsList with image thumbs and a red/green
quantity badge against the per-item threshold. Nav entry '3D Parts'
with a new 'box' Lucide icon mapping (the sidebar renders nothing for
unknown icon names - lab gotcha).
PrintedItem (catalog: code, name, image, cached quantityonhand,
per-item threshold, bin) and PrintedItemTransaction (the ledger:
signed quantity change attributed to a badge-resolved employee).
Both registered in PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS; 0001 is a post-cutover real
baseline. The migration-guard test learns the new expected head.
Routes are a placeholder ping until the next stage - the scaffold's
list route imported the deleted scaffold model, which surfaces as an
empty 'Migration error' because the alembic env imports the models
package.
flask plugin new output, minus the scaffold's AssetType seeding:
printed parts are quantity-based consumables, not ADR-001 assets.
on_install seeds the three plugin settings instead. Manifest pins
core >=0.11.0, depends on employees (badge name resolution), ships
disabled until a site opts in.
