The printer card was a name followed by a comma-joined string of cartridges and
a location - the widest row on the board, and the one running past the card
edge.
Now: the printer name links to its page and reveals its location on hover, and
each depleted cartridge is its own chip showing "Black 4%", revealing the part
number to order on hover. The percentage says something is wrong; the part
number says what to do about it, which today means opening the printer's page
to find out. Every capacity tier is listed, as the report has always done.
Two additions to the card contract, both general: 'chips' maps a row key to a
list of {text, title, level}, and 'titletooltip' puts context on the row title.
Nothing load-bearing goes in a tooltip - hover is not discoverable and does not
exist on touch - so a chip always states the fact and only explains it on hover.
Chips are bordered rather than filled: a row of solid red pills reads as an
emergency even when a cartridge is merely low.
Also repaired a self-inflicted mess. A string-slice edit used a marker that
appears EARLIER in the file, so the slice was empty and two helpers were
injected at line 1, above the module docstring. Removed; the file parses and
the helpers live beside the route they serve.
Three faults, visible only once the board ran against production data.
BACKUPS SAID THE WHOLE FLEET HAD STOPPED. The lastseenat backfill was wrong. It
seeded from collectedat, reasoning that the last change was the last provable
moment - but an unchanged config writes no revision, so a machine whose settings
last changed nine months ago got a nine-month-old lastseenat and was instantly
reported as a dead backup. Every chain lit up at once, which is worse than no
card: it says the site is broken when it is fine.
The honest value is NULL. Before the column existed nothing recorded when a
config was last confirmed, and inventing a date does not change that. Migration
0003 clears the backfill, and staleness now IGNORES a NULL chain rather than
substituting timestamps that mean something else. A chain becomes measurable the
first time its PC posts, which for NTLARS is within a day.
TONER READ "None%". The supply dict has no 'percent' key - it is 'remaining'.
Supply names are also shortened, because "Black Toner Level 4%" spends three
words saying what the card already says.
THE CARDS READ AS WALLS OF TEXT. Rows wrapped into paragraphs and a card with
forty PCs pushed everything below it off the screen. Now: at most five rows with
"and N more", one line per row that truncates rather than wraps, meta pushed
right and dropped first since it matters least, and severity reduced to a small
dot beside an uppercase label instead of a coloured card - six severity-painted
cards read as a crisis, which is how a board stops being read.
Worth recording that none of this could fail in a test. Every one needed real
data on a real fleet.
Wave one complete. Three cards, no new data and no migrations.
Printer supplies reuses the existing low-supplies query and its five-minute
cache; a Zabbix round-trip per printer on every dashboard load would make this
the slowest page in the app. One row per printer listing every depleted
cartridge, criticals first - a row per cartridge would report one printer three
times and read as three problems, and showing only the worst class would hide a
low cartridge behind a critical one on the same machine when whoever walks out
there wants to carry both.
While there: the low-supplies REPORT itself was including healthy cartridges. A
printer with one empty black and three full colour ones listed all four, so the
reader had to find the problem inside the row. It now lists only what needs
replacing, and the test that asserted the old behaviour now asserts the new.
Expiring warranties keeps already-expired entries on the list rather than
dropping them the day they lapse, which is how they get missed. Horizon is
warranty_expiringdays, default 90, because that suits a site budgeting
quarterly and nobody else.
Mis-numbered bays promotes check-shared-machines out of a CLI command nobody
will remember to run - it found seven bays that had been wrong for weeks. It
reports only numbers with NO child assets, so part markers legitimately sharing
an operation stay silent: that distinction is the whole card, and without it it
would list correct data beside faults and be ignored.
Printers also loses its dead component-named widget; notifications, network and
machines still have theirs.
Every asset list shows a Type column (and printers a Model, machines and
network a Vendor), but the search filters only looked at the asset number,
name, serial and hostname. Searching a type returned zero rows: 'Part Washer'
on machines, 'Standard' on PCs, 'Thermal' on printers.
Extend the search on machines, computers, printers, network devices,
measuring tools and the unified asset list to cover the type name plus the
vendor/model where the list shows them. Joins are outer joins so an asset
missing a type or vendor still matches on its own fields; the core list uses
a correlated EXISTS instead, since its type-name filter already joins
AssetType.
The Inno printer installers hand-parsed JSON in Pascal (brittle brace-counting).
Add ?format=text to install-list (one printer per line, pipe-delimited:
printerid|windowsname|vendorname|modelnumber|hostname|ipaddress|mapx|mapy) and
to pc-default (printerid|windowsname), so the installer side is a split() with
no JSON parser. The web map keeps the default JSON.
Also resolve install-list's vendorname via the model (as the batch already does),
since the import sets the model, not the printer's direct vendorid - otherwise
the installers' HP/Xerox/Brother filter drops every prod printer.
Two fixes for the printer install-batch on prod data:
1. Vendor was read only from the printer's direct vendorid, which the legacy
import never sets (it sets the model; legacy resolved vendor through the
model). Every prod printer came back vendor "unknown", so all fell into the
manual group and the universal PrinterInstaller.exe block never emitted. Now
resolve vendor via the model's vendor when the printer has no direct one, as
the classic installprinter.asp did.
2. Harden the download base URL. Behind IIS the app sees http on a loopback
port and url_root drops the /shopdb mount, giving a broken download URL when
site_base_url is unset. Fall back to https + the forwarded Host + script_root.
Test: a printer with no vendorid but an HP/Xerox model now groups universal.
Rebuilds the classic printer-installer feature: pick printers on the shopfloor
map, download a .bat that installs them.
Backend (asset_routes.py): GET /api/printers/install-batch?printerids=1,2,3
returns a .bat attachment. Groups printers the way the classic installprinter.asp
did - HP/Xerox via the universal PrinterInstaller.exe /PRINTER="a,b,c", printers
with a .exe installpath via that installer /SILENT, and anything else (no
installpath, or a .zip) listed for manual install instead of being run blindly.
Download URLs derive from the site_base_url setting + the IIS-served /installers
folder (no hardcoded host). Reuses the existing install-list query shape.
Frontend: PrinterInstallerMap.vue - full-screen Leaflet shopfloor map (reuses
mapConfig), a marker per network printer at its mapx/mapy, click to toggle-select,
sidebar with the selection + an Install button that downloads the batch. Toplevel
route /printer-installer, printersApi.installList(), and an Installer Map button
on the printers list.
Tests: install-batch grouping (universal/specific/manual) + requires-ids.
Goal: an LLM or script can migrate an entire legacy database using only
the HTTP API - original history preserved, safely re-runnable.
- X-Import-Mode header (admin only): create/update endpoints across 15
timestamped entity types accept original createddate/modifieddate;
helper exposed via shopdb.api (contract 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0).
- Exact-match natural-key lookup filters on 13 list endpoints for the
lookup-then-upsert recipe.
- Selfhosted USB checkout/checkin accept backdated event times in
import mode.
- docs/IMPORT-API.md: operator manual grounded in the real legacy
schema - order of operations, full table-by-table mapping including
the machines fan-out, idempotent Python importer with dry-run, parity
checks, and decided dispositions for unmigrated tables (DNC config
stays live-fed via the collector; supportteams/appowners map to the
upcoming supportteams model).
635 tests pass; naming green; frontend untouched.

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.

Feature work from the 2026-07 session:
Settings IA
- Replace the flat 27-card settings hub with a persistent two-pane shell
(SettingsLayout.vue): grouped, searchable left rail + content pane.
- Nest all settings/* routes under the shell via router post-processing;
shared nav catalog in settingsNav.js. Group by asset class (PCs, Printers,
Equipment, Network) so per-type settings stop scattering.
Custom fields (core)
- customfields + customfieldvalues tables (migration 7d14), CRUD API at
/api/customfields, per-asset value get/save.
- Settings management page + reusable CustomFieldsSection (detail) and
CustomFieldsInputs (form) wired into all four asset types.
Warranty (new plugin)
- plugins/warranty: warranties + warrantyassets (migration 7d15), derived
coverage status, provider abstraction (manual now; Dell/Lenovo/HP stubs).
- API CRUD + per-asset panel + report buckets; WarrantyPanel on all four
detail pages; Warranties management page; Warranty report + Reports card.
- Seed warranty.* permissions.
Printer drivers
- printerdrivers table (migration 7d13) linked to printer models; drivers now
surface on the matching printer's detail page.
Other
- PCDetail rebalanced (Network + Status + Warranty + custom fields on the right).
- Rename PCs list "Features" column to "Remote Access"; fix badge hover underline.
- Drop equipment islocationonly field.
- Centralize asset-type label/route maps into utils/assetTypes.js.

Shopfloor 2.0 PCs can't run unsigned .bat printer maps, so the signed printer
installer EXE pulls printer data + floor-map positions from the API and renders
the picker itself. Adds the endpoint the EXE consumes.
GET /api/printers/install-list - flat, unpaginated list of NETWORK printers
(USB-only excluded), each with: printerid, name, machinenumber, windowsname,
sharename, hostname, ipaddress, vendorname, modelnumber, installpath, iscsf,
locationname, mapx, mapy. Replaces the classic apiprinters.asp contract and
adds the map position (mapx/mapy) the EXE needs.
Tests: network printer appears with map position + installer fields; USB-only
printer excluded. 188 tests pass, naming green.

Plugins were reaching into internal core paths (shopdb.core.models.*,
shopdb.extensions, shopdb.utils.*), coupling them to core's file layout and
violating the ADR-001 contract. Consolidate onto one versioned surface.
- shopdb.api: expand from 2 helpers to the full plugin import surface -
db, cache; BaseModel, AuditMixin; core models (Asset, AssetType,
AssetStatus, Vendor, Model, Communication, CommunicationType, Location,
Setting, AuditLog, Application, AppVersion, OperatingSystem); response +
pagination helpers; employee_connection. Documented in PLUGIN-HOOKS.md.
- Migrate all 22 plugin source files to import only from shopdb.api (plus
shopdb.plugins.base for the ABC).
- Drop the printers plugin's legacy MachineType dependency: remove
_ensure_legacy_machine_types and the seed_supplies machinetypeid lookup
(Model.machinetypeid is nullable; printers carry type via PrinterType).
- Guard test test_plugins_only_import_contract_surface scans plugin source
and fails on any core import outside shopdb.api / shopdb.plugins.base.
- Scaffold templates updated so generated plugins are contract-pure.
- Bump __contract_version__ 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0 (additive surface expansion;
manifests pin <1.0.0 so they still satisfy).
145 tests pass, naming/style green, app factory boots all 6 plugins.

Optional asset identifiers (gauge lab reference, maintenance reference, FQDN)
were global per-identifier and only surfaced on equipment. Now they are
toggleable per asset type and rendered on every asset type.
- settings: replace 3 global identifier toggles with a per-type matrix. New
keys identifier_<name>_<assettype>_enabled (3 identifiers x 4 types).
IDENTIFIER_LABELS / IDENTIFIER_ASSETTYPES constants drive the seed (API seed
and CLI seed settings).
- composable: identifierSettings now exposes isEnabled(name, assettype),
per-type flag winning over the legacy global key, defaulting on.
- backend writes: computers, network, printers asset create + update now
accept gaugelabreference and maintenancereference (equipment already did).
Reads already flowed through Asset.to_dict.
- frontend: Settings page renders an identifier x asset-type toggle matrix.
Equipment, PC, printer, network forms and detail pages show gauge/maintenance
(and FQDN where applicable) gated by isEnabled(name, type).
Legacy global identifier_<name>_enabled keys are still honored as a fallback
for older installs. SystemSettings toggles upsert (create on 404) so a deploy
that has not re-seeded still works on first toggle.
144 tests pass, naming/style check green, frontend builds. Verified live:
matrix renders, PC form shows the fields, PUT persists gauge/maintenance on a
PC and reads back.

Backends read snake_case filter params (type_id, vendor_id, location_id,
businessunit_id, status_id, os_id) while the frontend sends the concatenated
form (typeid, vendorid, ...), so the network/notifications/printers list
filters silently did nothing. Backends now read the concatenated name with a
snake_case fallback (no breakage), matching the locked naming convention.
Verified: network type filter now narrows results (45 -> 25 for Access Points).

The asset/computer model is now the single source of truth. Remove the Machine
instance layer end to end:
- Delete models Machine, MachineStatus, PCType, MachineRelationship,
InstalledApp, PrinterData; keep MachineType (models.machinetypeid still
references it).
- Delete the /api/machines, /api/statuses, /api/pctypes blueprints and the
legacy /api/printers/legacy (PrinterData) blueprint.
- Drop the deprecated communications.machineid column and its FK.
- Migration 7c01 drops tables machines, machinestatuses, pctypes,
machinerelationships, installedapps, printerdata (idempotent).
- Fix remaining readers (applications install counts) to ComputerInstalledApp.
- Frontend: remove dead machinesApi/statusesApi/pctypesApi wrappers; repoint
the PC Types settings page at computer types.
143 tests pass; all asset/computer/dashboard/report/collector endpoints 200.

- GET /settings now masks password/token values (were returned in plaintext
to anonymous callers); sending the mask back on update is a no-op so the
real secret is never clobbered.
- Move the employee-directory DB credentials out of source into env-backed
config (shopdb.utils.employee_db); employees + notification recognition use
the shared helper. Employee lookups stop leaking exception strings.
- Fix low-supplies report using loc.location instead of loc.locationname.
Employee/notification read endpoints stay unauthenticated by design (public
shopfloor kiosk displays consume them).

- Printers save through the asset blueprint (PUT /printers) instead of the
legacy machines API; restrict supply-model picker to printer models.
- Asset statuses get full CRUD (PUT/DELETE with in-use guard); canonical set.
- Printer types reseeded to a real classification set + list filter.
- Equipment accepts gauge/maintenance references.
- Fix network list emitting network_device instead of networkdevice (View 404).

Lock the position-resolution columns from ADR-001 in code so
resolve_asset_position's relationship walk activates.
Schema
- Asset.mapleft -> Asset.mapx, Asset.maptop -> Asset.mapy
- Location.mapx / Location.mapy added (fallback for priority 3 of the
ADR-001 resolution chain)
- AssetRelationship.label (free-text nuance per ADR-001)
- AssetRelationship.inheritsposition (bool, server_default true, controls
whether the resolved-position walk follows the edge)
- RelationshipType.propagatesthroughid (self-FK; sibling-propagation rail)
Seeds
- Three canonical ADR-001 relationship types created idempotently:
partof, controls, connectedto
- controls.propagatesthroughid wired to partof (partof + connectedto stay
null per ADR-001 table). Both via Alembic migration AND CLI seed command
so a fresh test fixture and a sister-site deploy both end up correct.
- Legacy connection types (Serial Cable, Direct Ethernet, USB, WiFi,
Dualpath) retained for backward compat with pre-1.0 relationship rows.
Resolver
- shopdb.api.resolve_asset_position now walks inheritsposition=true edges
of type partof (then controls), recursively, depth-capped at 3 with
visited-set cycle protection. Inactive edges + non-inheritable types
are skipped. Falls through to the existing location fallback when the
walk yields nothing.
Tests
- 11 new test_api_namespace cases cover: partof walk, controls-after-
partof ordering, connectedto skipped, inheritsposition=false skipped,
recursion, cycle break, depth-3 cap, self-beats-related, related-beats-
location, inactive-edge skip.
- 111 tests pass. Naming/style check green.
Migration
- migrations/versions/7a01_adr001_position_contract.py:
- alter_column renames on assets (no data loss)
- add_column on locations + relationshiptypes + assetrelationships
- idempotent seed of three ADR types + propagation FK wire-up
- downgrade reverses + best-effort deletion of seeded types that have
no FK refs
Backend rename (mapleft/maptop -> mapx/mapy)
- shopdb/core/api/assets.py
- plugins/{computers,equipment,network,printers}/api/...
- scripts/migration/migrate_assets.py
- Legacy Machine model + machines API + import_from_mysql.py UNCHANGED
(per ADR-001 Machine retires; not part of the asset contract)
Frontend rename
- frontend/src/components/ShopFloorMap.vue
- frontend/src/views/{MapEditor.vue, pcs/{PCDetail,PCForm}.vue,
printers/{PrinterDetail,PrinterForm}.vue,
machines/{MachineDetail,MachineForm}.vue,
network/NetworkDeviceForm.vue}
- Form field labels + v-model bindings + computed flags switched in
lockstep with the backend.
