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.
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.
listAll goes through fetchAllPages, which pages past the server's 100-row cap
and returns the rows themselves. Three asset forms read .data.data off that
array. An array has no .data, so the second access threw and the surrounding
Promise.all rejected, taking the whole load into the catch.
On the PC edit page the throw landed before the record fetch, so no request was
made for the computer at all. The form rendered with its reference data and no
record, and the banner said only "Failed to load data" - which reads like a
backend or schema fault and was twice diagnosed as one. The server logs settled
it: every reference endpoint answered 200 and the record was never requested.
MachineForm already carried a comment describing this exact trap, added when
pcsRes hit it. Two adjacent lines had the same defect and were missed, so the
comment now sits above all of them.
Report the failure honestly while here. apiError only reads err.response, so a
client-side TypeError produced nothing but the fallback string no matter how
many times the page was reloaded. Fall back to err.message when there is no
response, which is what identified this.
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.
The branch stored scopejson, desiredstate and params as sa.JSON, the only JSON
columns in the product. MySQL 5.6 has no JSON type - it arrived in 5.7 - and the
migration failed there with a bare syntax error near the word JSON.
They are TEXT now, through a JSONText type decorator, so the seventeen call sites
still assign and read dicts. The convention elsewhere is already TEXT:
guides.blocksjson, geenforce.manifestjson.
Spec regenerated: 331 paths, 477 operations across 22 surfaces.
Applied on top of af13337 so nothing already on wilm is rewritten.
AUTHORIZATION. The six new policy GETs were @jwt_required(optional=True) with
no permission at all, so an anonymous caller could list configuration and
business policies - gated only by a feature flag that 404s while off. They now
require computers.view. The six policy write routes stacked @jwt_required()
above @require_permission, the same pattern removed from nine endpoints routes
in this very push: the outer decorator answers an anonymous request 401 before
require_permission can consult the guest role, so a grant to guests silently
does nothing. Removed, and the now-unused import with them.
tests/test_core/test_public_read_surface.py failed at af13337 with seven ungated
GETs. It passes now. The seventh, endpoints.claim_next_command, is genuinely
agent-facing - authenticated in the handler by the endpoints collector key,
because a bay has no user session - so it joins PUBLIC_ENDPOINTS with its reason
written down, exactly as report_command_result already does in test_authz.py.
Note which half is public: claiming a queued command is the agent's business,
while ENQUEUEING one is the real authority and stays gated on endpoints.command.
INSTALLER. -BaseUrl and -CollectorKey are now mandatory with no defaults, and
https is enforced unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed for a local test box. The
defaults were a real hostname (ADR-015) and a live collector key: a key in
source is a key in git history, and that key is also the command channel's kill
switch. Removing it here does not undo the disclosure - it must be rotated on
the server, and purged from af13337 - but it stops the next clone carrying it.
IMPORT. A committed import wrote thousands of rows and left no audit trail; it
now writes one AuditLog row inside the same transaction, so it cannot survive a
rollback or go missing from a commit. The computer-type dropdown asked for
per_page: 200, which the API ignores in favour of perpage and clamps to 100
anyway - it uses a new computersApi.types.listAll(), the pattern already applied
to the other selectors. And the comment claiming the template example rows are
"emitted as commented rows the engine skips" was the opposite of the truth: they
import as live data, the emitted instructions say so, and a test depends on it.
Not fixed here, deliberately: rotating the leaked key, purging it from history,
and the endpoint agent's own hardening (per-host credentials, a protected
process denylist so stop cannot kill security tooling, signing before the
PowerShell runner is enabled, registry ACLs, and the 25-second long poll that
will pin a worker thread per bay).
A command reaching 'succeeded' only proves the agent ran the action, not that it posted a new telemetry snapshot. Reloading panels on command success alone re-rendered stale service/process rows, so a stopped process could still show running right after Refresh Status.
Add a lightweight telemetrymeta probe exposing lastreportedat and gate both the header Refresh Status action and inline row Start/Stop on that stamp advancing past a pre-action baseline. Polling is bounded so an offline or idle agent never hangs the button, and messaging distinguishes a confirmed refresh from a queued one.
Bring the .NET endpoint agent source (service, tray, installer) into the repo so Cameron can merge and test, with an agent/.gitignore keeping bin/obj/publish out. Includes the DncMain launch-path fix, tray single-file host env scrub, and best-effort file logger.
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.
The backend clamps perpage to MAX_PAGE_SIZE (100), so location selectors that requested a large page received only the first page and still got a 200. Late-alphabet locations (past ~C5W) simply went missing from every module's dropdown, and no error surfaced.
Add locationsApi.listAll, which pages through the full set via fetchAllPages, matching the established machines/printers pattern, and switch every location selector consumer to it.
The Add Computer, Add Machine, and Add Printer forms offered the entire model catalog and vendor list regardless of what was being added, so a PC could be pointed at a printer model and every vendor showed up whether or not it made that kind of thing. Scope each form to its own asset category so the selectors only present sensible choices.
Add a ?category= filter to GET /api/models that joins modeltypes and matches on category (Equipment, PC, Network, Printer), and include the model's category in the list response so the forms can distinguish types client-side. Untyped models are excluded, since a null category cannot satisfy the filter.
Each subtype form now loads only its category: PCForm requests category PC (servers, which are Network, stay out); MachineForm requests category Equipment, with the main Model dropdown hiding Controller-type models and the Controller dropdown showing only those; PrinterForm requests category Printer, which also fixes its Model list that previously showed the whole catalog.
Vendor dropdowns are derived from the loaded models: a form only offers vendors that actually have a model in its category. Each dropdown keeps the record's own saved vendor even if it falls outside that set, so editing an existing asset never drops its vendor.
PC records now carry Entra/Azure device identity so imported machines keep a durable link back to their directory object instead of matching on hostname alone. Adds azuredeviceid, azureobjectid, and azuredevicecategory to the Computer model with matching migrations, surfaces them read-only in PCDetail as an Entra Device Info card, and lets PCForm edit the device id directly. The computers plugin registers a machineassetnumber import hook that reconciles PC-to-machine links during bulk import and warns on unresolved or conflicting relationships.
Adds importsources adapters that normalize Azure device-group and Thor PC inventory exports into canonical ShopDB CSVs via hostname alignment, exposes register_import_hook and RowWarning on the shopdb.api contract surface (contract 0.21.0), and refreshes the Import Site Assets page with clearer source instructions. Includes reconcile_locations maintenance script and coverage for the new import paths.
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.
