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.
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 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.
alembic.ini is a Flask-Migrate config with no script_location, so ScriptDirectory.from_config raised and _current_schema_revisions swallowed it and returned no heads. Every set then failed the subset check and was wrongly blocked as taken on a newer schema than the running code. Set script_location to the migrations directory - the same versions tree the manifest scans - so live heads resolve and compatible sets restore.
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.
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 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.
Sites seed inventory from the Asset Collector script or spreadsheet exports, but lookup names drift between sources (Dell vs Dell Inc.), which would otherwise create duplicate vendors/models/types on every import. The importer now normalizes and fuzzy-matches near-miss references onto existing lookup rows within an operator-set similarity threshold, auto-applying the match while reporting it for review so nothing merges silently. Operating systems and asset rows are never reconciled. Adds the dedicated Import Site Assets page with script/template download and a multi-file dry-run/commit workflow.
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.
