SQLAlchemy 2.0 connections do not autocommit, and on MySQL alembic reports
"non-transactional DDL", so context.begin_transaction() is a no-op. Nothing in
a migration run committed.
It looked like it worked because MySQL implicitly commits on DDL: every
ALTER/CREATE flushed whatever was queued before it, including the PREVIOUS
migration's version stamp. The LAST migration of a run has no DDL after it, so
its stamp was rolled back when the connection closed. `flask db upgrade` then
exited 0 with the schema change really applied and alembic_version one revision
behind, and re-ran that same migration on the next deploy. A migration that is
not idempotent applies twice.
Found while adding a core migration: the column default really changed and
alembic_version still named its parent, with UPDATE alembic_version followed
immediately by ROLLBACK in the log.
Existing databases upgraded before this are one revision behind their real
schema. Compare `flask db current` against `flask db heads`; re-running the
upgrade re-applies the final migration once and lands the stamp.
CLIENT IP / SPOOFABILITY. docs/geenforce-api-cutover.md claimed that removing the
IIS rewrite rule made the allowlist fail closed and that it does NOT become
spoofable. The opposite is true. IIS never sets X-Forwarded-For on its own; the
rule is the only thing that does. Remove it and IIS still forwards whatever
X-Forwarded-For the CALLER sent, waitress trusts it because it arrives from
127.0.0.1, and remote_addr becomes attacker-controlled - so a token-less caller
can fetch manifests from anywhere on the network. The document and the
_trusted_client_ip docstring now say so, waitress runs with
--trusted-proxy-count=1, and stage 5 checks the rule is actually live rather than
assuming it. The wizard question is rephrased to something an operator can verify
with their network team instead of guessing at.
NON-ASCII. The style gate only ever checked .py/.vue/.js/.ts, so documentation
accumulated em-dashes, arrows and box-drawing characters against this repo's own
convention - including in files added this week. Cleaned, and the gate now uses
INCLUDES_ALL so Markdown, JSON and YAML are covered.
PLUGIN DEFAULTS. The wizard pre-ticked measuringtools and printedparts, both of
which ship default_enabled=false, so every site taking the defaults installed and
enabled them against their manifests. Inno has no JSON parser so the list must be
hardcoded, but tests/test_installer_defaults.py now fails when it drifts.
UPGRADES. The payload copy merges, so a plugin dropped from a site's profile kept
its code forever - which defeats a lean build and leaves core's optional-import
guards succeeding for a plugin the site no longer has. Stale plugin directories
are now deregistered and removed before the copy.
add-plugin used 'plugin install', which for the five default_enabled=false
plugins left them installed but DISABLED - and printed a green success line
anyway. It now goes through apply-profile, and the success line is gated on the
exit code. Invoke-Flask records its own exit status, because $LASTEXITCODE keeps
a stale value when flask.exe is missing and no native command runs.
CHARSET. The utf8mb4 compiler hook lived inline in migrations/env.py, so it
covered the CORE chain only: plugin baselines inherited the server default, which
on a latin1 server means two charsets in one database. It is now
shopdb/utils/mysql_charset.py, imported by both, and preflight reports the
database's default charset.
BACKUP HONESTY. The dump was described as 'all of your asset data'. Uploaded
branding and floor-map images live in instance\ on disk, not in the database, so
a restore from the .sql alone comes back with no map. backup now archives
instance\ alongside it and says both are needed.
VERSIONING. AppVersion was hardcoded at 0.9.0 while the product, the frontend and
the newest tag said 0.7.0 - and 0.9.0 collides with a retired contract version.
Both builders now generate version.iss from shopdb/__init__.py.
Smaller: rollback overwrites .env before deleting it, as uninstall already did;
appcmd unlocks are scoped to this site's location rather than server-wide, with
the wide unlock as a fallback; DEVELOPMENT-SETUP says Python 3.14; the README
plugin list gains printedparts; prune-schema --force is documented as
first-provisioning-only; HTTPS is documented as not-the-default with the steps to
add it; the DBA SQL is on the wizard's database page; the features page says
unticking does not remove an installed feature; and the installer README states
that bundle-lock cannot vouch for the exe itself - that needs signing or an
out-of-band hash, neither of which is wired up.
Found by test-deploying on a Windows + MySQL 8.0 VM: migration 7a01 seeds the
canonical relationship types with a raw INSERT that omits the NOT-NULL
createddate/modifieddate columns (the ORM supplies those via Python defaults at
runtime, but a raw migration INSERT does not). MySQL 5.x's lax default sql_mode
accepted it; strict MySQL 8 rejects it with 1364 "Field 'createddate' doesn't
have a default value", so a fresh `flask db upgrade` died at 7a01. Dev runs
MySQL 5.6, so this never surfaced locally.
migrations/env.py now sets the migration session sql_mode to
NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION (dropping STRICT_TRANS_TABLES) for the migration run
only - the app's own runtime connections keep their mode. Makes the whole chain
portable across MySQL versions. Guarded for non-MySQL (sqlite tests).
68 migration/smoke tests pass; fresh upgrade to head verified on MySQL.

Validated a clean install on MySQL 5.6 end to end and fixed the blockers.
- migrations/env.py: force alembic_version.version_num to VARCHAR(128) in its
own committed connection before running migrations. It was VARCHAR(32); the
revision id 7d02_widen_notification_employee_cols (37 chars) truncated, so the
next migration's version bump matched 0 rows and `flask db upgrade` died at
7d03 on a fresh DB. Now upgrades run clean to head.
- flask db-utils preflight: checks Python, required env, DB connectivity, and
the MySQL 5.6 utf8mb4 index flags (innodb_large_prefix/Barracuda) - the 767
prerequisite - and prints exact fixes. Exits non-zero on blockers.
- flask seed admin --username --email [--password]: real first-admin command
(generates + prints a password once). The docs referenced it but only the
dev-only test-user existed.
- setup endpoints for a UI-driven first run: /setup/needs-admin,
/setup/create-admin (guarded to zero-users), /setup/seed-reference.
- Wizard: drop the PC-access-domain question (always .device.geaerospace.net);
the setting keeps its default.

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.

Migration runner ready and a sister site can deploy from a clean
checkout with one .env file.
ADRs relocated (migrations/adr/ -> docs/adr/):
- migrations/ is now Alembic territory, not docs.
- All cross-references updated: CLAUDE.md, docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md,
docs/PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md.
Alembic initialized (migrations/):
- env.py, script.py.mako, alembic.ini copied from Flask-Migrate
templates so `flask db migrate` and `flask db upgrade` work without
a one-time `flask db init` (which would clash with the existing
migrations/ directory).
- Baseline migration generated via autogenerate, captures all 47
tables (core models + 6 plugins) as the upgrade target. Ready for
per-site `flask db upgrade` from an empty schema.
Deploy artifacts:
- Dockerfile: python:3.12-slim base, gunicorn server, non-root user,
healthcheck against /api/auth/login. Single image bundles all six
plugins; sites enable via `flask plugin install <name>`.
- docker-compose.yml: MySQL 8 + API container, healthcheck-gated
startup, env-driven secrets that fail loud on missing values
(`${SECRET_KEY:?}` form).
- .env.example: full env-var inventory with comments. Calls out
required vs optional. Matches what ProductionConfig.validate
enforces.
docs/DEPLOY.md:
- Step-by-step per-site runbook: clone, configure .env, bring up
stack, run migrations, seed reference data, install plugins,
create admin, front with TLS, backups, updates.
- Common-issues table.
- Cross-links to ADR-004 (per-site rationale), ADR-003 (plugin
distribution), and the config source.
Skills:
- migrating-asset-schema: Alembic + one-shot data migration policy.
Rules: additive first, renames are three steps, destructive ops
need rollback, equipment migration filter per ADR-001 + ADR-005.
- hardening-flask-config: production validation, CORS allowlist
policy, JWT cookie hardening, per-site deploy isolation per ADR-004.
CLAUDE.md updated to reflect the post-Phase-5 state. No tests added
this commit; the Alembic baseline is exercised by the existing
db.create_all-based test suite (tests do not touch the migration
runner; that's by design until per-plugin migrations land).
Test count unchanged: 101 passing.
