Turning "Shared key allowed" off refused the key on the endpoints plugin and
left four core collector routes open to it. Anything still holding the old key
could keep rewriting logged-in user, last boot time, serial number and installed
app inventory for ANY hostname, while the admin believed the shared key was off.
Data integrity only - no command execution, no credential issuance - but it is a
hole in a boundary the product advertises as closed.
It cannot simply be closed. Both GE-Enforce reporters still authenticate with
that key, so refusing it fleet-wide would stop asset and printer reporting
everywhere, and on an air-gapped site mid-migration that is the wrong order of
operations. collector.legacysharedkeyrefused therefore DEFAULTS TO TODAY'S
BEHAVIOUR, and its description names exactly what turning it on breaks and when
it should be turned on: after the reporters move to per-PC credentials, not
before.
A legacy route used with the shared key now logs a warning, so a site can find
out who still depends on the key before flipping anything. On a stock Windows
deployment that warning may name the proxy rather than the caller; the token
prefix in the same line is the identifier to go by.
The switch is seeded with the core defaults and has a control on the
authentication settings page. Undeclared, it was a row that did not exist, and
this UI has no generic key/value editor, so seeding alone would have rendered
nothing for an operator to click.
Two contract declarations corrected while in here:
notifications.alertscope was declared db.JSON in the model while the migration
that creates it ships TEXT, and those migrations state the constraint in their
own docstrings: no JSON columns. The model now matches the shipped column rather
than the schema being bent to the model.
usb and printedparts both import a name that arrived in contract 0.35.0 while
declaring core_version floors of 0.1.0 and 0.16.0, so the loader would have
accepted them on a core that cannot satisfy them - an ImportError at blueprint
registration instead of a refusal with a reason. Both floors now say what the
plugin actually needs.
The device token assumes a handful of fixed screens an administrator
provisions once. That is not how these kiosks are used: most people open the
page on their own PC, and there is no login, so per-browser provisioning would
mean touching every PC on the floor and losing it again on the next reimage or
cleared profile. A screen in that state did not look refused either - the USB
kiosk rendered a working page whose every call answered 404.
Both kiosks now admit a caller on either ground, the same shape the GE-Enforce
client endpoints already use: the per-device token, or a source address inside
an allowlist. Wall screens keep the token and are not confined to the
allowlist; everyone else is admitted by where they are on the network. Still
gated on the site's enable flag, so nothing opens by itself, and both
allowlists ship empty - token-only until a site enters its ranges.
- shopdb.api gains ip_in_cidrs and request_ip_allowlisted (contract 0.35.0).
On the surface because both plugins need the identical gate, and a CIDR
parser copied into two of them is where a fail-open creeps in later. They
fail closed on an empty setting, an unparseable caller address and a
malformed entry, and they read remote_addr rather than raw X-Forwarded-For -
so the IIS rewrite rule is what makes them meaningful, which the module says
at length.
- Separate settings per kiosk, usb_kiosk_allowed_cidrs and
printedparts_kiosk_allowed_cidrs. One must not grant the other, for the same
reason the tokens are separate.
- Both settings pages get a picker listing the network plugin's subnets with
their VLANs. It stores resolved CIDR strings, not subnet ids: the setting has
to work at a site that does not run that plugin and must not break when an
inventory row is deleted. Entries matching no subnet are shown rather than
hidden, since a stale one left by an inventory edit looks exactly like a
hand-typed range.
- USBKiosk says it was not admitted instead of pretending to work, which
PartsKiosk already did.
- The USB settings page keyed text-vs-boolean off the token alone. Adding a
second text setting to the boolean path would have saved it as the word
'true' - the bug that replaced the kiosk token and 404'd every provisioned
screen. Both load and save now key off a list, with a spec on it.
The trade, stated plainly in the admin UI: anyone on an allowed network can
check a drive in or out against a badge number they guess, and the record
carries that person's name. Badges are attribution, not authorization. Keeping
the ranges narrow is what bounds it; login is the alternative and was ruled out
because these users do not sign in.
Finding F12 of the architectural review, checked against the code and found
worse than reported: the dynamic component import cannot be rewritten by the
bundler, so the built file ships the unresolved path and a plugin tab answers
404 in every production build, staged or not. It works only under the dev
server. Nothing shipping is affected, because the one plugin that declares a
tab also registers the same page as an ordinary route, and that is the one
sites reach.
- The ADR draft now carries a "Constraints as implemented" section: only the
model catalog hub registers plugin tabs, registration happens when that hub
mounts so a tab is not deep-linkable and does not survive a refresh, and the
build finding above with the bundler's own warning. The two ways out are
stated as the open decision rather than taken.
- The hook's docstring reads as instructions to a plugin author, and its
example no longer names a path that does not exist at build time.
- A route declared for a hub that cannot render it is dropped with an error
naming the plugin, the hub and the hubs that do work, and the same is logged
at startup. Enabling the plugin still succeeds: a tab nobody can reach is no
reason to take a working backend offline.
- Tests hold the two halves together: no bundled plugin may declare a hub the
frontend does not implement, and the list in the server must equal the hubs
that really register routes, so the two cannot drift apart again.
Findings F2, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11 and F13 from
wj-architectural-review.md. F1/F1a (the non-sargable LOWER pattern) and F3
(the warranty sync holding a pooled connection) are being handled separately
and are untouched here.
- A collector check-in that raced another for the same PC lost everything:
the unique index on the application fingerprint raised, nothing caught it,
and the whole check-in rolled back, discarding state, events and hardware,
answering the agent with form copy meant for a person. The insert now runs
in a savepoint, reconciles what the other transaction already wrote, one row
per savepoint so a second collision skips a row rather than the batch, and
the check-in commits with a warning. This is the shape the delete side of
the same function already had.
- Enrollment is deliberately unauthenticated, so it now carries a per-address
rate limit and a cap on pending requests, and the cap is a setting an admin
can see and change. A flood can no longer bury the approval queue or grow
the table without bound.
- The fleet alert poll no longer formats debug strings on every request.
- BusinessUnit is on the contract surface (0.34.0), so the endpoints plugin
stops reaching into a core table with raw SQL.
- A test walks every asset type descriptor and proves the endpoint it names
really refuses a caller without the declared permission.
- The plugin settings routes now need a permission; they were telling anyone
which modules a site runs and where its components live.
- The connection pool is sized explicitly with a short timeout, and the
arithmetic against the server's connection ceiling is written next to the
worker count instead of being left to defaults nobody chose.
- Fleet alerts carry both the correct lowercase keys and the old camelCase
pair. Trays older than 1.7.0 match keys case-sensitively and would have gone
quiet on every PC not yet upgraded; the old pair goes when they are.
- The dev server proxy points at localhost again, with environment variables
for the remote-box workflow, and one developer's address is out of the
server certificate page.
- Endpoints (shared key) page: the key is presented as what PCs use until
they enroll, with enrollment progress, a link to Enrollment, rewritten
guidance, and rotate/revoke confirmations that say how many PCs are not
enrolled yet.
- Settings cards describe the server certificate as what PCs actually
receive, on IIS or Docker; Enrollment has its own icon (the icon set lacked
the one the Server Certificate card already asked for).
- Server Certificate page checks the certificate the site presents at its
public address and compares its pin with the certificate file, warning when
they differ. The host comes from site settings only; the check is a TLS
handshake, never an HTTP request.
- Fleet list: Credential column and filter (enrolled, pending, re-enroll
blocked, shared key, not reporting), computed in the list query.
- PC detail: credential state, prefix and dates for fleet readers, state only
for others, with admin Revoke (optionally blocking re-enrollment) and Allow
re-enrollment.
- Dashboard: pending enrollment requests, and PCs blocked from re-enrolling
for more than seven days.
- Runbook: where to find each of these in the app.
Problem: Users experiencing frequent forced re-logins after backend restarts,
especially with 8-hour token expiration in production.
Root cause analysis:
1. JWT tokens stored in localStorage on browser
2. Backend restarts with potentially different JWT secret key
3. Frontend doesn't validate stored token on app startup
4. User navigates normally, then first API request returns 401
5. User surprised with sudden logout
This fix adds token validation on app startup. If a stored token exists,
immediately verify it with /api/auth/me before mounting the app. If the
token is invalid (expired or stale secret), user is logged out at startup
rather than mid-session.
Additional issue found (not committed - .env files in .gitignore):
- .env and .env.docker had DIFFERENT JWT_SECRET_KEY values
- Fixed locally: standardized to same key across all .env files
- Action required: Verify production JWT_SECRET_KEY is consistent and persisted
Changes:
- frontend/src/main.js: Call authStore.fetchUser() on app load if token exists
- Logout happens immediately at page load, not on first interaction
- Better UX: "please log in" vs "surprise logout while working"
Future improvement (not in this commit):
- Implement automatic token refresh before expiration
- Add proactive refresh timer (e.g., every 7 hours for 8-hour tokens)
- Would eliminate re-login entirely for active sessions

Plugins can now register their settings pages dynamically via get_settings_routes()
hook, eliminating hardcoded imports that break lean builds.
Backend:
- Add get_settings_routes() hook to BasePlugin (shopdb/plugins/base.py)
- Implement in ComputersPlugin for Operating Systems management
- Add /api/plugins/settings-routes endpoint to expose plugin routes
Frontend:
- ModelCatalogHub fetches plugin routes and dynamically adds them via router.addRoute()
- Tabs render dynamically from pluginTabs ref
- Components lazy-load when clicked
Benefits:
- Lean builds work without manual route exclusions
- Plugins self-contain their UI extensions
- No core code changes needed when adding plugin settings pages
- Follows plugin architecture best practices

An operator could see that an endpoint was behind the published build but
had no way to act on it. update_app resolves against Application rows, and
the agent lives in the version store, so there was nothing to push.
Bridge the two: the staged build is packaged and registered as a reserved
Application row, and a managed PowerShell script is seeded to install it.
The endpoint downloads that package over the existing collector-authenticated
app-package route, so no parallel delivery path is introduced.
The new route prepares the delivery and then DELEGATES to
enqueue_endpoint_command as a digest-pinned run_script. It deliberately does
not implement its own enqueue: a second path would duplicate, and eventually
drift from, the endpoint lock, the Configuration Policy gate, stale-command
reaping and the at-most-one-in-flight rule. A fleet-wide agent swap is the
last action that should skip a quarantine check. Tests pin that delegation
rather than only the happy path.
Because it lands as run_script, the caller needs endpoints.runscript on top
of endpoints.agentupdate. That is intended: this delivers arbitrary SYSTEM
PowerShell by the same mechanism as any other script push. The audit event
is written only on an actual 201, so a refused push does not record an
upgrade that never happened.
Replacing the agent is self-modifying the control plane - the process
receiving the command is the one being swapped. The script therefore
re-launches itself detached and exits immediately, because the agent runs
run_script as a direct child and holds its stdout/stderr pipes while
waiting on it. Expect the command to report queued rather than success:
the process that would report completion is stopped mid-run. Judge the
result by the version the endpoint reports afterward.
Tray relaunch does not use the installer's `explorer.exe <path>` trick.
That works in install-shopdbagent.ps1 only because the installer runs as
the user - note its own `-ne "SYSTEM"` guard. This script always runs as
SYSTEM in session 0, where the hand-off reaches no shell and exits 0, so
Start-Process reported success for a relaunch that never happened. It also
cannot descend into the session with a token-duplicating launch:
UserContextSpool documents that WTSQueryUserToken is blocked by endpoint
protection on these hosts. Instead a one-shot scheduled task targets the
pinned ShopFloor account, matching how the user-context spool already
resolves that user, and the tray must run as that account or the
mapped-drive probe reports the wrong (empty) drive table. The relaunch is
verified by polling for the process rather than assumed, and stays
best-effort: the Run key still starts the tray at next logon, and a late
tray is not worth rolling back a good agent upgrade.
panel_status now carries agentbehind/agentversion/agentcurrent so the UI
gates the action on a flag rather than parsing "(behind X)" out of a label.
The button is confirmed by typing UPDATE, naming both versions and the
service interruption, matching how run_script and system_restart are gated.
Verified on live endpoints: upgraded 1.13.0.0 and 1.15.0.0 machines to
1.16.0.0. run_script delivery, digest fetch and system context all predate
1.13.0.0, so no minimum agent version is declared for this path.
Log Collector: a new collect_log action reads a plaintext log file from a
known path and returns its tail for viewing and download. Rides the existing
endpoints.updateapp grant rather than inventing one, since collecting a log is
the same trust level as pushing an application. Collected logs land in their
own table with per-asset retention of 20 instead of overloading the command
audit row, and the agent refuses UNC, traversal, wildcards, directories and
non-text content independently of the server check.
collect_log is POLICY_EXEMPT. Every existing Configuration Policy predates the
action and so cannot name it, and the intersection in ALLOWED_ACTIONS_FOR drops
anything unnamed - so every policied endpoint refused log collection outright,
including for admins, who saw a permission-shaped error for a grant they held.
Exemption from policy is not exemption from permission: the elevated grant
still applies, and a regression test asserts both halves so a future edit
cannot quietly loosen the grant while "fixing" the policy gate.
Script output capture: successful runs can return output, gated per script by
captureoutput. Failures always returned it; success never did, which left a
green badge as the only evidence a run produced.
Timestamps: Activity and Operator Reports rendered date-only because the shared
formatter's 'date' branch drops the clock time. Run Scripts additionally
labels its timestamp, since a bare time meant "completed" on a terminal row but
"queued" on an in-flight one - indistinguishable, and the wrong reading.
Agent 1.16.0. Minor: collect_log is a new action name, so an older agent asked
for it fails closed on the unknown-action default.
The script library was gated on applications.*, so anyone holding the
software-delivery grant could rewrite the bytes of a script that a separately
trusted operator later pushed to a bay. The push was gated on
endpoints.runscript; the CONTENT of what got pushed was not. An installer is a
vendor artefact, but a script here is arbitrary PowerShell this site wrote that
the agent runs as SYSTEM, so the write and the push must require the same
trust.
All six script routes now require endpoints.runscript, including the body
download - reading the bytes is not a lesser act than listing them. Core names
the permission as a string rather than importing it from the endpoints plugin
so the module stays importable with the plugin absent.
This tightens access and there is deliberately no backfill: the operator scope
reaches applications.create/edit, so operator-scope holders lose the library.
Granting them endpoints.runscript on upgrade would undo the change and hand
every operator remote SYSTEM code execution, since the same grant gates the
push. A test pins that no prebuilt scope confers it.
Adds the System Scripts settings page and card. The route requires the
permission rather than admin, because the grant is meant for non-admin
operators and the sibling admin gate would lock them out of the library the
grant exists for. The settings icon map gains terminal and key; the agent-key
card had been asking for key since it shipped and silently drawing a puzzle
piece.
The library had no test coverage before this.
Operator report screenshots are an uncontrolled capture of whatever was
on the operator's screen when they filed the report, so they can carry
part numbers, customer names, or other shopfloor content. The rest of
endpoints.view is uniform machine-collected telemetry. Reading a PC's
CPU load does not imply a right to read someone's screen, so the reports
and their images move to endpoints.operatorreports.
The image route is the real control point, not the panel: the panel only
decides whether a tab is drawn, while the bytes stay reachable by URL to
anyone who can guess an id. Both GET routes now require the new grant.
Migration 7d47 backfills the grant to everyone holding endpoints.view so
nobody loses a panel they were already using; tightening from there is a
per-account decision in the user editor. The grant is in the scope
denylist, so it is a per-user direct grant and Reporter cannot hold it.
Also adds test_user_editor_checkboxes_match_the_server_action_list. The
SCOPE_ENDPOINT_ACTIONS comment claimed a sync guard kept the Vue
checkbox list aligned with the Python tuple, but no such test existed.
The lists had already drifted: endpoints.operatorreports reached a
running container with no way to grant it through the UI. The guard
catches drift in both directions - a name only in Python ships the
feature dark, and a name only in Vue is worse, since the admin ticks a
box and believes access was granted while the server refuses to store it.
Soft delete left orphaned executables on disk and let a deleted name collide
with a fresh import, so delete is now a hard delete that removes the
associated files. The destructive paths (delete, revert-to-record) require a
typed OK because neither can be undone.
Installers keep their filename at import and nest per application/version,
which stops repeat imports doubling up. Version now comes from the same PE
detection the endpoints agent uses; when no version can be read the caller is
asked for one rather than silently storing a blank.
Applications also surface Version and a monitorable toggle, with launch path
and process name required only while monitorable is ticked. Fleet shows the
PC alias, matching PC Details.
Sits in the sidebar footer below Settings and above the Light/Dark toggle, visible to everyone including guests, and opens the team's SharePoint bug list in a new tab with rel=noopener.
The URL is a development placeholder for the wilm pre-production window, marked as such in a comment next to the constant so it is not mistaken for a shipped integration. Styling matches .theme-toggle exactly and uses fixed white alphas rather than theme tokens, because the sidebar is dark in both themes - a var(--text-*) here would resolve to a dark colour on a dark sidebar in light mode and vanish, which is the same trap the lock modal hit earlier.
Adds caller_is_role(), the body-answering counterpart to require_role, for routes that serve everyone but treat one class of caller differently. A scoped personal token is always refused here, matching require_role: scopes gate individual permissions, not roles. That invariant stops a leaked scoped agent token from inheriting override authority just because its owner is an admin - a scoped PAT is a narrower caller than its owner, admin included.
Frontend enqueueCommand now carries policyoverride with overridereason. Both are required together server-side and an override without a stated reason is rejected, so the caller must collect the reason before sending rather than discovering the refusal after the fact.
A newly created user held no roles and no permissions, so the sidebar filtered every nav item away and the account appeared broken. Adds three prebuilt scopes (Reporter, Operator, Technician) derived from the live permission catalog by verb rather than hand-listed, so a new plugin permission lands in the right scope automatically instead of silently going ungranted. users.view is granted to all three since a user who cannot see the directory cannot collaborate; users.create/edit/delete stay admin-only. Role.seedscopes() is additive and idempotent, seeded via flask seed permissions, and preserves custom grants on rerun.
Reporter guard: the auth model is additive across admin, direct grants and roles, so Reporter cannot be expressed as merely fewer grants - a direct endpoint-action grant would silently re-arm a read-only account. Rather than change the global permission predicate and alter every route's semantics, _check_scope_grants() rejects the invalid combination at write time on both create and update. The update path validates the effective post-update state, so demoting a Technician to Reporter is refused while a stale endpoint grant remains rather than quietly leaving a read-only user with write authority.
Validation runs before the User object is constructed. Assigning user.roles first put the relationship into the session autoflush path while the User was still unattached; nothing broke because the refusal returns before db.session.add(), but it left a trap where any query added below that point would autoflush a half-built user and surface later as an orphan row. Verified with -W error::sqlalchemy.exc.SAWarning: 25 passed.
The sidebar was showing USB Kiosk and Parts Kiosk links even when those
plugins were not installed, because isPluginEnabled() fails open (returns
true before the plugin list loads).
Changes:
- Load enabled plugins list during AppLayout mount
- Make kiosk visibility reactive with computed properties
- Check pluginsLoaded flag before showing kiosk links
- showUsbKiosk and showPartsKiosk now wait for real plugin state
Before: isPluginEnabled('usb') returns true immediately (enabledSet null)
After: Waits for plugin list, correctly returns false when not installed
Behavior:
- USB Kiosk: Hidden if usb plugin not installed/enabled
- Parts Kiosk: Hidden if printedparts plugin not installed/enabled
- Shopfloor Dashboard: Still shows (core feature)
- TV Slideshow: Still shows if slides plugin exists
User reported: USB Kiosk showing when USB plugin not installed
Fixed: Kiosk links now correctly gate on plugin installation status

Corporate Tools is the first PCDetail tab that mounts no PluginAssetPanels: it is permission-gated and renders a fixed action list, so no panel can land in it. The vocabulary check asserted every tabs.push key appears in RENDERED_GROUPS, which cd70556 broke by adding that tab.
Adding 'corptools' to the vocabulary would have made it a legal panel group with no panel host - fetched, held, rendered nowhere - the silent-drop failure this file exists to catch, and it would also have failed the server-vocabulary check against ASSET_PANEL_GROUPS. So the invariant is narrowed to panel-backed tabs instead, with a mirror check that any tab mounting a PluginAssetPanels must have its group rendered.
wilm has been red for eight consecutive runs across backend, gates and
frontend. Three failures, two unrelated causes, neither introduced by the
endpoint agent work.
docs/ prose (backend + gates):
The docs gates detect a published checkout by the ABSENCE of docs/*.md,
because docs/ becomes the wiki on that side. DEV-BUILD-TEST.md and
PLUGIN-HOOKS.md were committed in unrelated changes, which made CI look
like an internal checkout carrying almost no prose. test_there_are_docs_
to_check then failed on `assert 3 > 20`, test_the_map_itself_is_current
failed on a generated PROJECT-MAP.md that is correctly untracked, and
check-gates-ran.sh failed on the resulting skip - a skipped gate reports
green and checks nothing, so it refuses to accept one.
The existing .gitignore comment predicted this exactly and was defeated by
naming files individually. Untracked both (kept on disk) and replaced the
per-file list with docs/*.md so the next authored doc cannot reintroduce
it. Scoped to the top level: docs/notes/ prose and docs/openapi.json stay
tracked, and the gates only glob docs/*.md.
Frontend specs:
getEntraDeviceUrls() gained lapsUrl and loaded, but two siteSettings specs
still asserted the old two-key shape with toEqual, which is exact-match.
The implementation is correct - loaded is what lets a caller distinguish a
failed fetch from an unconfigured site, since both read as empty strings -
so the specs were brought up to the current shape rather than the return
value narrowed.
pinnedPanels.spec.js sliced 420 characters from getEntraDeviceUrls() and
asserted the finally block appeared inside it. Adding the retry logic
pushed finally past that offset, so a correct implementation reported as
"the finally is missing". Rebounded the slice to the function's own extent,
matching the structural approach already used elsewhere in this file for
the same reason. Verified by mutation: renaming the flag in the source
fails the test, which also caught that the spec reads
plugins/computers/frontend/views/PCDetail.vue and not the .plugins-staged
build copy.
Details tab card layout
-----------------------
The Details tab sat on .content-grid, a two-column CSS grid. Grid packs
items into implicit rows, so every row is as tall as its tallest card and
align-items:start leaves the shorter one with dead space beneath it:
Warranty is short, Endpoint Status is tall, and Policy had to wait for the
taller of the two rather than sliding up. That read as a staggered layout.
Switched that one tab to multicol via a .details-flow modifier, which has no
rows at all - each card starts where the previous one ended, so the holes
close while cards still size to their content.
Multicol is deliberately NOT applied to .content-grid globally. The note by
that rule in style.css records why it was abandoned there: a column-span:all
child (.pap-span, used by table panels) overlaps the shorter column when the
two are unequal. That cannot happen on this tab - every panel in the details
group is a keyvalue or list render, and spansFullWidth() only returns true
for table (or a tabs panel holding one), so nothing in the subtree spans.
Monitors and Service/Process DO carry table panels and stay on grid.
The modifier is scoped to PCDetail, so the nine other detail views on
.content-grid are untouched.
Chosen over JS masonry on purpose. Masonry packs perfectly but has to
measure every card and re-measure on resize, on panel collapse and on every
async panel load - and these panels fetch after paint, so it would mean
continuous forced reflow on a page that already polls. This is pure CSS:
no measurement, no observer, no runtime cost. The tradeoff accepted is that
column bottoms can end at slightly different heights.
Cards carry break-inside: avoid so none fragments across the column break,
and the 25px spacing returns as a margin because multicol has no gap between
stacked items the way grid does.
IP Configuration card
---------------------
Removed: the data has no purpose on the page anymore. Taken out at the root
rather than hidden - the panel declaration, the /asset/<id>/ipconfig route
and the _IPCONFIG_COLUMNS constant all go, since a route with no consumer is
dead surface that still answers requests.
test_the_two_cards_do_not_duplicate_columns_beyond_the_address existed only
to police the history/config column split; with one card gone it guards
nothing, so it and its import go with it. The panel-count assertion in
test_endpoints_asset_panels_are_computer_scoped moves 15 -> 14, which is the
test doing its job and catching the removal.
IP History is unchanged and still carries the address list.
Not addressed here: three tzset() tests in test_endpoints_plugin.py fail on
Windows because time.tzset() is Unix-only. Verified pre-existing against
unmodified code; they pass in the Linux container.
Mapped drives stopped reporting because the user-context path failed silently
in three separate places, and none of them left a trace to read back.
- Probe: launch via -EncodedCommand instead of staging a temp .ps1 and running
powershell.exe -File. A missing or quarantined script file fails BEFORE any
statement runs, so the script's own try/catch never sees it and the only
symptom is exit -196608.
- Spool: pin to the ShopFloor profile. Resolving it through WTSQueryUserToken
is privileged, endpoint protection blocks it, and on failure the tray
(writer) and service (reader) silently disagree about the path.
- Spool: consume after a successful parse, so a stopped tray cannot keep
re-reporting stale mapped drives as current. Unparseable files are left in
place for the next cycle.
- Logging: user-session components cannot write to Program Files or to the
SYSTEM-owned ProgramData log directory, and the file sink degrades to a
silent no-op when it cannot create its directory. Tray and probe now log to
C:\Users\ShopFloor\ShopDB\Logs, installs transcript to ProgramData, and the
sink records a SinkProblem instead of swallowing UnauthorizedAccessException.
- Installer: provision the operator spool/log directories with ShopFloor:Modify
before the tray first runs, and stop the transcript via trap so a throw
cannot orphan exactly the failed install worth reading.
- Upload cap 64 -> 128 MB: the self-contained tray publishes at ~69 MB and was
rejected on SIZE, but the size check returns before the PE is parsed, so the
operator only ever saw a version-detection failure.
AGENT-CONTRACT.md gains a normative section defining the three security
contexts, their log destinations, the fixed spool path and consume-on-read.
Agent 1.8.0 -> 1.8.1, tray 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 so the deployed build is
identifiable from a log line.
asset_panels() rewrites any group missing from ASSET_PANEL_GROUPS to 'details' before the client sees it, and Phase 3 never added 'serviceprocess' there. Both panels were relabelled on the wire, so the tab could not appear no matter how consistent the frontend was. That is why the tab was still missing after the schema fix - a second, unrelated cause wearing the same symptom.
Operator Reports moves out of System Monitors into a tab of its own: that tab is machine-collected health, this is a person reporting something, and the thumbnail grid dwarfed the fact cards it sat between. Full width, since it is alone in the tab.
panelGroups.spec.js claimed to cover four files and checked two; it now reads the server tuple as well. The plugin test's hand-copied set was a fifth copy and now derives from the server tuple instead.
A table panel with no rows rendered its column headers over an empty body. On a live PC Details page that made Network Interfaces and Listening Ports look like cards that had failed to load, when the real answer was that the agent had not reported any yet. List panels already honoured panel.empty; table panels did not.
Also records the simulation-suite requirement uncovered when rolling containers: the pytest suite builds its schema from the models, so an unapplied migration is invisible to it while every query against the affected table 500s in the running image.
Volume capacity and physical drive health were two adjacent cards, and the operator reading a full disk is usually the operator reading a dying disk in the same minute. They are now one Storage card with two sections. Visual grouping only - the two tables share no key, storage being per volume and health per physical device, and one drive can back several volumes or none the operator sees. Nothing is reconciled across the sections; this is not the mapped-drive merge where two sources described the same drive and the worse status won. The tabs render type was the only sections-in-one-card mechanism and emitted label/value fields with no table path, so it now takes table sections too. That is the renderer every plugin uses, so both behaviour changes in it are mutation-tested. Two things only surfaced on contact: the empty-section filter had to grow a table branch, because a table section declares columns up front and dropping it when it has no rows takes its tab with it and reads as no disks rather than nothing reported; and full-width span was keyed off the declared render type, but a tabs panel holding a six-column table needs the same span and that is only knowable from fetched data. The diskhealth route stays. It no longer backs a panel, but it is a stable read for callers outside the renderer and removing it for a UI-only change would break them.
Tracked Services and Tracked Processes were sharing a tab with system health cards, so what is running on the box and how the box itself is doing read as one list. They now sit in a Service/Process Monitors tab and the old tab is System Monitors. The group vocabulary is duplicated across the renderer, the tab map and the panel declarations with nothing checking they agree, and a group named in one but not the others is dropped in silence - that has eaten cards twice. Tests now pin the vocabulary on both sides. Boot type and NIC link state were collected in Phase 2 but shown nowhere. Boot type only renders when fast startup applies, because uptime measured from a resume understates how long the kernel has been up and that is the case worth naming. Link state leaves a disconnected NIC unknown rather than half duplex: live hardware returns empty speed and duplex when unplugged, and half duplex is the cable fault signature this column exists to catch.
The cache held only the resolved settings object, so every caller arriving
before the first response fired its own request: nothing populated the cache
until that response landed. applyBranding awaits five settings in sequence at
bootstrap, getServicenowUrls four and getEntraDeviceUrls two, all of which
became separate GETs on a cold load.
That race also hid the Intune and Entra buttons on PC Details. The page loads
the URL templates without awaiting them so a settings failure cannot block
rendering, and on a cold cache the response could arrive after the record had
rendered, leaving the templates empty and the links hidden until a refresh
warmed the cache.
Cache the in-flight promise so concurrent callers share one request, and hold a
failed load for 30s instead of the page session. A transient blip used to blank
every settings-driven link until the operator reloaded, which they have no
reason to know would help; the window still bounds a hard-down backend to two
requests a minute per client.
The hardware, OS and storage inventory had columns and data but nowhere to
be read: the only per-PC card was the status keyvalue, so a machine's
processor, firmware, disks and listening ports were reachable only by
querying the database.
Adds four Monitors cards - Hardware, Operating system, Storage, Listening
ports - split by the question each answers rather than by which JSON blob
they came from. OS and BIOS share one card deliberately; apart they are
three short rows each. A card yields no fields when its columns are null,
so an endpoint on an older agent hides them rather than showing a grid of
blanks.
User context is declared last on the page. The probe feeding it is not yet
producing output, so it reads empty for now, and being last means an empty
card sits below the populated ones instead of pushing them down.
The Activity feed showed a title and an event id, but the title is the
catalog name for that id - the same text on every occurrence - so two
different faults read identically. Rows now carry the provider name, and
the stored message body expands in place when the severity badge is
clicked. Commands expand to their result message, which is the reason a
failed one failed.
The badge doubles as the expander rather than gaining a control beside it,
and it keeps its severity label when open: swapping that for "Hide" would
cost the at-a-glance severity scan down the feed. Being a button rather
than a span, it is also now keyboard reachable.
map.body is additive in the shared renderer - panels that do not declare
it render exactly as before.
A restore could load a database dump whose schema was older than the running
code. The manifest stamped schemarev from the code image on disk, so the
compatibility check compared the code against itself and always passed. A set
captured from a database at 7d37_import_batches_and_journal restored under
code at 7d41_drop_guest_tools_secrets, leaving the data behind the code: every
query on a table the newer migrations touched failed with 1054 Unknown column,
which surfaced as empty configuration-policy dropdowns and a failure to load
data on edit PC.
The authoritative signal is the alembic_version of the database that was
dumped, so manifests now carry datarev alongside schemarev, backup.sh reads it
from the database and warns when it has drifted from the image, and the gate
asks whether the running code knows that revision. Data behind the code is
allowed because it can be rolled forward; data ahead of the code is refused
because it cannot.
Rolling it forward has to happen somewhere with an app context. The backup
sidecar is mysql plus restic plus alembic only and has no Flask, so restore.sh
loads the dump and parks the run in an upgrading phase behind an
.upgrade-requested sentinel rather than declaring a success it cannot verify.
The api container owns the Flask CLI and already runs these exact idempotent
commands on every deploy, so a finalize endpoint there runs db upgrade plus
plugin upgrade-all and stamps the terminal phase. The UI drives it on seeing
the upgrading phase, so recovery needs no operator intervention.
The live simulation runs one codebase against itself, so its dump is always at
the same revision as the code restoring it and it can never reproduce this
drift. The gate therefore gets a standalone tester that builds throwaway
migration chains and dumps offline, invoked as a simulation preflight. It
caught a real bug in the legacy dump-parse fallback, where the revision was
matched loosely enough to return the alembic_version table name instead of the
value it holds.
The watcher scripts now write live status and append-only run history onto the shared volume; the api exposes them via /shopdbbackups/status and /history. The restore modal shows an indeterminate spinner with phase labels, and two cards list backup and restore run records. Timestamps render in UTC to match the Zulu-stamped set ids, the history directory is excluded from the set list, and a stale-status guard stops a previous run's done phase from collapsing the spinner on the next restore.
The api queued .restore-requested but nothing consumed it, so restores silently did nothing. The watcher now services the restore sentinel by running restore.sh, and its instance_data mount is read-write so restore can lay files back down (the manual one-shot stays read-only). Backup stamps use a colon-free UTC form that Date could not parse, so the UI showed raw strings; normalize them before formatting.
Backups are per-site and not part of the base stack, so they ship as a separate compose overlay with an isolated restic REST server the app can only reach through the backup utility (no shell or db creds). The sidecar image trusts the corporate proxy root CA at build time so its Oracle yum, github, and PyPI fetches succeed behind TLS interception; shell scripts are pinned to LF via .gitattributes so the container entrypoints do not die on a CRLF shebang.
Ben Baker's installed-software collection, software delivery (run_script and
update_app), agentless adoption tool and command-queue hardening, with his
authorship preserved.
Reviewed before promotion. Fixed: the endpoints plugin tests were never collected
by pytest, the SBOM snapshot table's key would exhaust on MySQL, ingest did not
truncate two columns strict MySQL would reject, and update_app's version branch
pinned a digest for a file that route never serves. Agent packaging moved off
require_role('admin') onto a new endpoints.agentpackage permission.
Contract 0.27.0. Full suite 2231, frontend 314.
The dashboard panel now matches the sidebar's own vocabulary. The export refuses
--dist anywhere but main, because the dist directories are what the prod update
script mirrors onto the server and they are not branch-qualified.
