The wizard configured five of the product's 129 settings. A site that finished
it still had no timezone, no authentication, no mail server, no backup
destination and no endpoint agent policy, and nothing told the operator so.
Six steps now: Administrator, Site, Authentication, Features, Mail and Backups,
Review. Everything else moves to a standing setup checklist at
/settings/setupchecklist, because a wizard that asked for all 129 settings would
be worse than one that asked for none.
Two new endpoints back it. /setup/checklist reports twelve areas as
ok/partial/todo/na with a link to the page that fixes each, and /setup/health
reports account counts plus whether a plugin toggle has reached every worker.
Both take care not to lie:
- Several settings are SEEDED non-empty (the shipped logo, a placeholder floor
plan, every identifier field), so "is it set" compares against the shipped
default rather than emptiness.
- plugin.endpoints.sharedkeyallowed DEFAULTS TO ALLOWED when its row is absent,
so an absent row is reported as the fleet-wide key being accepted. Reporting
it as refused told an admin the opposite of the truth about the credential
they are migrating away from.
- A plugin is held at "starting" until several DISTINCT workers report it live.
Counting replies instead let one recycled worker answer four times and declare
a change complete while other workers still served the old routes.
Recommended plugins are declared in each plugin's manifest rather than listed in
the wizard, so adding a plugin cannot leave a stale list in another file.
Also fixed: the logo preview was invisible, because the image borrowed a class
that hardcodes a white background while the shipped logo is white; and signing
in did not re-read setup state, so an admin already browsing was never steered
to the wizard and a hard refresh was the only cure.
(cherry picked from commit 32d3f4b29d)
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.
