Per-PC credentials (replaces the 09-14 client-certificate attempt):
- POST /api/endpoints/enroll issues a credential to a PC that matches exactly
one computer by hostname and BIOS serial and has none yet. Anything else
(unknown or duplicate hostname, serial mismatch, already enrolled) waits as
a request an admin approves or rejects. The agent's persisted nonce binds an
approved request to the PC that asked.
- One auth helper serves every agent route. With X-Endpoint-Credential the
asset comes from the credential and a request naming another PC gets 403
ASSET_MISMATCH. The shared key still works for PCs that have not enrolled,
is refused (401 SHARED_KEY_REFUSED) for any PC that has, and can be switched
off. A revoked credential gets 401 CREDENTIAL_INVALID so the agent
re-enrolls.
- The core collector accepts the credential for the computers, printers and
endpoints collectors through two new plugin hooks exposed on shopdb.api
(contract 0.33.0), and refuses the shared key for enrolled PCs.
- Admin API: enrollment list, approve, reject, revoke (un-enroll), settings.
Migration API: per-PC readiness with blockers, and upgrade waves that
package the agent once and queue the existing agent upgrade per PC.
- Migration 0023 creates endpointcredentials, endpointenrollrequests and
endpointmigrationwaves, drops the certificate columns from assets where
test databases have them, and renames app_fingerprint to appfingerprint.
0021 and 0022 keep their ids but no longer alter the core assets table.
- Removed: client_cert.py, certificate renewal, the unauthenticated
/test/client-cert route, nginx client certificate forwarding and the agent
certificate script. The client-cert header could be forged on IIS, the key
was readable by users, and the shared key remained a fallback.
- GET /settings/server-cert returns the SPKI SHA-256 pin for GE-Enforce.
Review fixes:
- report_command_result used g without importing it; every result was a 500.
- collect_log refuses setup answer files, appsettings, agent directories and
key files at enqueue.
- Fleet alerts: alerttimeout and alertfleet agree with the migration, the
scope is validated and a malformed scope no longer reaches the whole fleet,
and the ack race no longer raises NameError.
- A refused break-glass override leaves no hold and no audit row.
- Agent upgrade checks locks and permissions before repackaging, and writes
the package atomically.
- Server certificate upload validates the pair before replacing files;
generation no longer builds an openssl config from user input; audit rows
are actually written.
- Health evaluation runs in a savepoint so a caught error cannot lose the
check-in.
- Required-app policies are found by appid, survive renames, and deleting an
app deactivates policies that still name it. The UI and API now say such a
policy only takes effect inside a business policy.
- Backfill handles duplicate fingerprints and rolls back a failed batch.
- Plugin settings routes skip a plugin whose hook raises.
- The setup token is no longer printed to the log.
- The naming gate checks top-level files again and handles odd file names.
- Removed root scratch scripts, one of which carried a token.
- Rewrote the fleet alert scheduling and app delta tests on real fixtures.
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
Fixes TODO from commit a03fd3de4f

The new table was declared as a model and created by migration 7d51, but never added to the explicit ownership map. test_owned_tables_match_declared_models caught the drift.
Not cosmetic bookkeeping: the per-plugin migration uses this map to decide which tables it owns, so an unlisted table is invisible to plugin-scoped baseline and prune. The prune path would have treated endpointlogcollections as unowned - collected logs surviving or vanishing on a schema operation that should have been deterministic about them.
The wj merge brought in a half-built fleet alert feature: server-side UI
behaviour still being stood up over a delivery proof of concept. It left
five red tests. This clears them and fixes a real hole underneath.
The cross-machine guard never ran. acknowledge_fleet_alert read .assetid
off _resolve_asset_for_hostname, which returns the id itself, so the
check raised AttributeError on every call and answered 500. That guard is
what stops one endpoint acknowledging another's alert, and the collector
key is shared across the fleet, so until now any bay could clear an alert
on another machine's behalf. Compare the id directly.
Gate both alert routes the way the rest of the agent channel is gated.
They are collector-key authenticated, not JWT+role, because a shop floor
bay has no user session - the same shape as claim_next_command and
upload_operator_report. Declared in the authz allowlists with the reason,
rather than inventing a permission no agent could hold.
Settle the delivery contract ahead of the durable agent work. The poll
response is authoritative for a host: every alert that should be live on
it right now. An alert absent from the feed is the agent's instruction to
retire the pending toast, which is how a server-side close or cancel
reaches a machine already displaying one. Acknowledgement is terminal per
product decision, so a close after an ack is a no-op and the agent can
retry a queued ack safely. A toast that merely timed out is not an
acknowledgement.
Stop reaching past the plugin contract surface for the mailer. One import
was a plain redirect; the other pulled a private helper to pre-check
recipients, duplicating what send_alert already does. It also returned
early when no email recipients existed, which silently suppressed the
independent webhook leg - misconfigured SMTP was dropping Teams alerts.
Register NotificationAcknowledgement in get_models() and give the
notifications plugin ownership of notificationacknowledgements, then move
the expected head to notifications0006fleetalerts.
Add the coverage whose absence let the .assetid bug ship. Thirteen tests
over gating, authoritative-feed withdrawal, terminal and idempotent
acknowledgement, per-asset scoping, and the cross-machine guard. Five of
them fail against the pre-fix handler.
Remaining suite failures are pre-existing and local: the symlink scan
needs elevation, and the docs check wants files absent from this checkout.
on_install/on_enable fire only on a state transition, so a permission declared by a later plugin version never reached an already-installed site through them. Until someone ran flask seed permissions by hand the name did not exist, and any route guarding on it refused every caller. Settings already had sync_all_plugin_settings() on the upgrade path for exactly this reason; permissions now have the counterpart.
The scope relink is the half that actually bites. Creating the Permission row only makes the name exist - the prebuilt scopes derive their grants from the catalog, so a permission seeded without a following Role.seedscopes() belongs to nobody but admin. The plugin installs clean and its UI is invisible to every non-admin, which reads as a broken plugin rather than a seeding gap. Ordering matches flask seed permissions: seedscopes only links rows that already exist, so it runs last. Additive, so a site's deliberate role edits survive the deploy, and best-effort per plugin so one bad plugin cannot abort a deploy.
Test deletes an existing plugin permission, runs upgrade-all, and asserts both that the row returns and that it is granted to the technician scope. Verified it fails without the fix rather than passing vacuously.
Exports caller_is_role on the plugin authorization surface. Additive name, so a minor bump. Scoped personal tokens are always refused by it, matching require_role, which stops a plugin from accidentally letting a scoped token inherit role authority from its owner.
Registers the tables added by the endpoint lock and policy hold work (endpointlocks, policyactionholds) plus the endpoint health tables in the alembic template, so plugin migrations see them and the ownership guard does not report them as unclaimed.
Add defense-in-depth validation to prevent path traversal attacks when
enabling/installing plugins via the UI or CLI.
Layer 1 - Input Validation (enable_plugin):
- Validate plugin names with regex ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$
- Reject reserved names (., .., empty string)
- Blocks attempts like ../../../etc/passwd at entry point
Layer 2 - Path Boundary Check (load_manifest):
- Verify resolved manifest path stays within plugins_dir
- Defense in depth even if name validation is bypassed
- Compatible with Python 3.8+ (fallback for < 3.9)
Risk Assessment: LOW
- Requires admin role (already trusted)
- Multiple existing validation layers
- No known exploitation in the wild
Rationale: Defense in depth best practice. Admins are trusted, but input
validation should not rely solely on authorization checks.
Tested:
- Valid names pass (backups, my-plugin, plugin-name)
- Path traversal blocked (../../../etc/passwd)
- Reserved names blocked (..)
- Both validation layers confirmed working

enable_plugin() now auto-installs available plugins before enabling them.
This fixes the UX issue where clicking Enable on an AVAILABLE plugin would
fail with 'Plugin is not installed'. Now it installs automatically (runs
migrations, seeds permissions) then enables it.
Before: User had to manually install via CLI first
After: Enable button works on AVAILABLE plugins (one-click install+enable)

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 board was one card per source in a fixed grid: every source got the same
small box whatever it had to say (warranties showed 5 of 50), and a box per
source flattened priority, while the largest type on the page belonged to counts
that need nobody.
Now a severity rollup, one worst-first queue of everything needing a person, and
a row of context beneath. The queue is full width, capped per source so a noisy
check cannot bury a rare one, and names what did not fit with a link to it. Chips
filter the queue by check as well as by severity; both narrow what is already
loaded, so the counts and rows cannot disagree.
Dropped: an 'All assets' tile shown beside its own four addends, a printer strip
carrying the same count a third time, three cards whose job was to display 0, and
a Recent Devices table listing five machines all 'In Use'.
Contract 0.26.0 adds optional 'shortname' on dashboard cards - a title is written
as a heading and ran wider than the hostname it qualified as a row badge.
Also: the supplies card reported 'Low Supplies 0' when Zabbix was unreachable,
which reads as reassurance rather than the truth that nothing could see the
cartridges. It now distinguishes unreachable (says so) from unconfigured (stays
quiet - the site declined the feature) from a real zero.
Full suite 2182 passed, frontend 314 passed.
Default fuzzy reconcile threshold to 0 and refuse merges when digit runs differ so numbered labels like Bay 311 never bind to Bay 310. Keep edit forms from clearing saved model fields when category filtering hides untyped rows. Includes in-progress computers policy and endpoints command feature work.
curl --fail exited nonzero on the login probe's 400 before the body reached grep VALIDATION_ERROR, so the healthcheck always failed and the container reported unhealthy while the app was fine. Drop --fail so grep decides pass/fail. Also register endpoint tables in PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS so plugin migrations can resolve their owned metadata.
Assign printers to a MACHINE and let whichever PC controls it install them, with
the observed half kept strictly apart from the assigned half: a collector report
can never write an assignment row. Adoption is explicit. Adds a singular
relationship type so defaultprinter can mean exactly one, client scripts that
converge a bay's queues and correct a drifted one in place, and a wave gate so a
fleet-wide driver rollout cannot stampede its own share.
On the container side: the compose stack never persisted the instance directory,
so a rebuild discarded plugins.json and every upload. It is a volume now, the
image ships instance/ owned by the app user so the mountpoint is writable, and
the database moves to MySQL 8.4 LTS, which the Windows runbook has recommended
since 8.0 went end of life. The image also could not build at all: the frontend
stage never copied the plugin staging script it runs.
Adds a topology migration guide covering IIS to Docker and back.
Catalog with photos and append-only print-file revisions, a stock
ledger attributing every take/restock/adjust to a badge-resolved
employee, a touch kiosk (scan bin, scan badge, keypad quantity) with a
deliberately open decrement-only take endpoint, 1x0.5in CODE128 bin
labels, low-stock email alerts to selected users, roles, or addresses,
and stock/consumption/by-person reports with a cache-vs-ledger
reconcile. Ships disabled; enable per site. Contract 0.13.0 adds the
mailer and the User/Role models to the plugin surface.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
