fb63ef9d30 Make a retired asset findable and restorable from the product
The retire dialog says "History and relationships are kept, and it can be
restored." The API always kept that promise - ?active=false lists retired rows,
PUT {"isactive": true} restores one - and no screen in the product could reach
either. A retired asset simply vanished: the lists filtered it out, global
search missed it, and its detail page still rendered Edit and Retire with
nothing anywhere saying it was retired.

Five list pages gained a "Show retired" toggle that passes active=false, and a
retired row now carries a badge. Five detail pages gained a banner saying the
record is retired and what that means, a Restore button, and the suppression of
Edit and Retire while it is retired - offering Retire on an already-retired
record was the part that made the state invisible.

Verified end to end in a browser: retire a machine, the detail page says so and
offers Restore, the list hides it until the toggle is ticked and badges it when
shown, and Restore puts it back (isactive true again on the API).

One thing this does NOT do: global search still does not reach a retired asset.
That is a separate surface with its own filter, and worth deciding on
deliberately rather than sliding in here - a search that returns retired
records by default would change every result page.

61a1c0b4fb Answer API errors in the envelope, say when supplies are unread, badge each chain
Three more findings from the 2026-09-03 run.

Werkzeug answered 405, 415 and a malformed JSON body itself, in HTML. A client
written against the documented {status,data,meta} contract got a page of markup
with no error code, which is indistinguishable from the server having fallen
over. The 405 had a second edge: on a route the caller cannot otherwise see, a
method-not-allowed CONFIRMS the path exists, so a gated kiosk route meant to
read as absent announced itself by refusing the wrong verb. All three now
answer in the envelope, and only under /api/ - everything else is the SPA and
keeps the framework's behaviour, deep links included.

The Toner Report rendered "0 Printers Checked / 0 Low / 0 Critical" and "No
printers match the selected filter" while the API it had just called said
supply monitoring was unreachable. Zeros read as a clean bill of health for a
fleet nobody has looked at. The page now carries the reason the API gave and
suppresses the counts, because a number nobody measured is not a result. Same
defect shape as the supplies card fixed on 2026-08-29; `unavailable` was
already in the payload and the page ignored it.

Backup revisions badged "current" per (asset, kind). NTLARS settings describe a
MACHINE but are read off the controlling PC, so a machine with two reporting
PCs has two independent chains of the same kind - and only the higher revision
id was badged, so the second PC's newest revision showed as history and lost
its last-verified stamp. The machine looked like one source re-reporting rather
than two. sourcehostname is the chain; a revision without one forms its own,
which keeps the old behaviour for everything that has only ever had one source.

Nine tests. The envelope ones verified by planting: remove the three handlers
and three fail.

2fb924f18e Let a printer driver carry the name Windows actually matches on
The driver form and the API both dropped `drivername` and `vendorid`. POST
returned 201 with both null, PUT accepted them and stored nothing, and no
screen offered either field - so there was no interface in the product that
could set them.

That is not a cosmetic gap. `drivername` is the exact string the INF declares,
and Add-PrinterDriver matches on it; `name` is ours to choose and means nothing
to Windows. With it null the shipped converger has nothing to match and
installs nothing, and the drift check that compares an observed driver name
against the expected one could never fire, because the expected value was never
stored. `vendorid` is how a universal driver (HP UPD, Xerox GPD) attaches to a
whole make instead of needing a near-duplicate row per model.

Both are now read on create and update, and the driver form gained the two
fields with hints saying what they are for - the INF name box says plainly that
leaving it blank means the converger cannot install that driver. A whitespace
value clears rather than stores: an empty box means "not known", and a blank
string would look set and match nothing.

Three tests. Verified by planting: drop the two fields from the create path
again and the round-trip test fails.

45acaf0b8f Resolve an asset type by name, and send a map position with its level
Wave 5, the asset forms. Both defects are the same mistake in different
clothes: a form deciding something it should have been told.

Four forms carried a hardcoded asset-type id - const COMPUTER_ASSETTYPEID = 2,
and the same for machines, printers and network devices - to tell
CustomFieldsInputs which type's fields to render. Those ids come from seed
order. On the instance they were written against, computer was 2; on a freshly
seeded database computer is 1 and 2 is network_device. So the PC form asked for
another type's custom fields, rendered them, and dropped everything typed into
them behind a success toast, because the values were keyed to a type the record
does not have. Verified in a browser against a correctly built dist: the form
now requests assettypeid=1 on an instance where computer is 1.

The name is the stable thing - assettype is a fixed vocabulary and the API
already publishes the mapping - so composables/assetTypeIds.js resolves it once
per page load. A failed load leaves it undefined, which renders no custom-field
panel: a missing panel is honest, a guessed id is what this replaces.

Three of the five forms that emit a map position sent mapx and mapy without
levelid. ADR-017 is explicit that a position without its level cannot be drawn
on the right floor plan, so a picked pin saved a null level and rendered
nowhere - while the form displayed "Position: x, y" back, because it kept the
value it had never sent.

The ADR-017 gate should have caught that and did not: it globbed '*.py' only,
so it policed what the server emits and never what the browser sends. It now
covers .vue and .js too, and accepts both quoting styles. Verified by planting:
drop levelid from PCForm again and the gate names that exact line.

Five composable tests, including a fixture with a DIFFERENT seed order - the
case the constants got wrong.

Still open from this area, and deliberately not in this commit: the PC form
writes an INHERITED location back as the record's own. Fixing it needs the API
to distinguish an owned locationid from a derived one, which is a contract
change rather than a form fix.

7f6aaf2e64 Gate the USB kiosk the same way, and make an unreachable setting a test failure
The USB kiosk had a feature flag and nothing else. A flag is a decision, not a
credential: with the kiosk on, anyone who could reach the app could move a drive
between checked-out and checked-in and sign it with a badge they guessed. Same
reasoning that closed the parts kiosk, smaller blast radius - which is why
Darkwing did not raise it and why it was worth asking about anyway.

Both kiosks now share one mechanism. The device token moved out of the
printedparts api wrapper into a request interceptor that attaches X-Kiosk-Token
by URL prefix, with one localStorage key per kiosk - they are separate screens
in separate rooms, and a shared token would mean provisioning one grants the
other. claimKioskToken() is shared too, so both views take the token from a
?token= URL once and strip it from the address bar identically.

Then the part that matters more than either fix. I told you to set the new
settings in the UI, and that was impossible: every plugin settings page carries
a hardcoded key list, and nothing had added them. printedparts_kiosk_enabled,
printedparts_kiosk_token and usb_kiosk_token were declared, seeded and read
correctly, and rendered by no page - changeable only by writing SQL.

tests/test_plugin_settings_reachable.py now fails when any declared setting
appears nowhere in its plugin's frontend. It found seven MORE that were already
in that state, all pre-existing:

  collector_corporate_ranges          computers_configpolicies_enabled
  computers_machinelink_alerts        computers_quietreporthours
  geenforce_reportstaleminutes        printers_dashboardpercent
  warranty_expiringdays

All seven now have fields. I first parked them in a KNOWN_GAPS ratchet, then
fixed them and deleted the ratchet - a backlog list in a new check is a way of
agreeing the check does not apply yet. There is no backlog; the check is
absolute.

Two of my own mistakes on the way, both caught by tests rather than by reading:
the blanket rename of the USB guard also rewrote the call inside _kiosk_open, so
it called itself until the stack ran out; and the first version of the reachable
check skipped all 17 plugins because it looked for get_settings() when the
method is get_settings_defaults() - it passed by testing nothing, which is the
exact shape it exists to catch.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Successful in 42s
CI / backend (push) Successful in 4m19s
Eight fields across three asset types were shown on the detail page and
accepted by the API, but had no input on the form. A wrong value therefore
needed database access to correct, which is not a thing anybody should need
for a device category or a maintenance date.

The shape is the same in each case: a column was added, the detail card was
written, the API allowlist was updated, and the form was missed. Nothing was
broken - the values arrive by import or collector - so nothing complained.

PCs gain azureobjectid and azuredevicecategory. azuredeviceid was already
there, which is what made the omission easy to miss: the page showed two ids
and the form offered one. The two are not interchangeable and the pairing is
counterintuitive - the DEVICE id opens Intune, the OBJECT id opens Entra - so
each input says where it goes.

Machines gain the three maintenance fields. These matter beyond the immediate
fix: they are the columns a measuring instrument's calibration dates map onto
when metrology moves to machines, and until now there was no way to enter a
calibration date on a machine at all.

Printers gain iscolor, isduplex and isnetwork as a capability group.
isnetwork defaults to true in the form to match the API's create default; a
new printer claiming otherwise would be wrong for nearly all of them.

Checked before making any of these editable that nothing writes them
automatically - a hand edit silently reverted by the next collector poll would
be worse than no input at all. The printers collector reports queues and
supplies, not capabilities, and nothing writes machine maintenance dates,
which is exactly why they are all empty. The two genuinely collector-owned
computer fields, lastreporteddate and lastboottime, are deliberately still not
editable.

THE RECIPROCAL LINKS BUG

A PC's page showed "Serves machine 7803" at the top. The machine's page showed
nothing equivalent, though the same edge was right there in the relationships
card at the bottom. That asymmetry read as missing data and was reported as
such.

It was neither missing data nor an API fault. The endpoint returns both
directions and always did; AssetTriageBand already walked outgoing AND incoming
and deduped, with a comment explaining that production holds reciprocal rows.
It then discarded every peer whose asset type was not 'machine', and hardcoded
the label "Serves machine". So the component could only ever work from the PC
side, and it was mounted only on the PC page.

The counterpart type and label are now props, defaulting to the old values so
the PC page is unchanged. The machine page mounts the band with
counterparttype="computer" and the label "Controlled by".

Eliminated with evidence rather than assumed, because this bug had already been
misdiagnosed twice: the endpoint runs two queries and returns both arrays; the
generic card renders both; that route has no pagination to clamp; and a single
permission gate cannot admit one direction and not the other.

THE RELATIONSHIP TYPE WAS ALSO HARDCODED

Not every asset pair is linked by 'controls'. A machine reaches a printer
through usesprinter and defaultprinter, so the band was blank on the printer
page - the one page where the link is not obvious from the asset itself. The
types are now a prop, and the printer page passes its own.

THE CHIPS WERE DEAD LINKS

Found while adopting the band more widely. It linked to /assets/<assetid>.
There is no /assets/:id route and no catch-all, so every chip in the band was
dead - and this change would have propagated that to four more pages.

AssetRelationships.vue already resolved this correctly and privately. That
function is now frontend/src/utils/assetRoute.js and both components use it, so
a third caller cannot get it wrong again. Two things it gets right that are easy
to miss: the detail routes key on pluginid, not assetid, so passing assetid
opens the wrong record; and the lookup is now case-insensitive, because
csvimport.py seeds 'Computer' and 'Machine' capitalised while this site's
database holds them lowercase - a case-sensitive match produced dead links at
whichever site seeded the other way.

The band now carries pluginid and assettypename on each chip, which the
resolver needs.

TESTS

assetRoute had none and neither did the band. Seven cover the resolver,
including the assetid-vs-pluginid confusion and the seeding-case difference.

On the backend, nothing asserted that the TARGET of a directional edge receives
it in `incoming` - only that rows carry isdirectional. That missing assertion is
this bug's exact shape, so it is now pinned: the endpoint was right all along,
and the next such report should not cost anyone a re-diagnosis of the API.

Verified on screen: the machine page shows "Controlled by G6K76CW3ESF" in the
hero, the PC page is unchanged, and a page with no such link renders no empty
band. Full suite 2162 passed, frontend 280 passed.

784964c907 Bring the wilm branch into main: endpoints plugin, agent, policies, CSV import
Ports the corporate-GitHub wilm branch onto main, keeping the two branches
separate. Thirteen upstream commits arrive with their authorship intact; the
review fixes and the portability work below are on top.

What arrives:

  endpoints plugin  - a ShopDB agent reporting endpoint state, telemetry,
                      services and interfaces, with a command channel the agent
                      long-polls. Ingest stays on the generic collector route
                      (ADR-006); the agent key is a UI-managed single-scope
                      token whose revocation is an instant kill switch.
  computers policies - Configuration and Business Policies (RMM-style), scope
                      trees validated at write time, actions checked against
                      the endpoints command allowlist. Feature-gated: every
                      route 404s while the setting is off, so enabling it can
                      never half-expose the surface.
  asset CSV import  - templates, a collector script carrying the site path, and
                      a validate-then-commit import. A plugin can own a virtual
                      column plus a post-write row hook, which is how a PC's
                      machine number becomes a controls link without a
                      hand-built relationships sheet.
  agent/            - the Windows agent and its installer.

Contract 0.21.0 -> 0.24.0, additive throughout: register_import_hook (0.22),
mint/list/revoke_service_token (0.23), collector_authorized (0.24). The stability
table had no rows for any of them and now does.

MySQL 5.6 portability. The branch stored three policy columns as sa.JSON, the
only JSON columns in the product, and 5.6 has no JSON type: the migration failed
with a bare syntax error near the word JSON. They are TEXT now, through a
JSONText type decorator, so all seventeen call sites still read and write dicts.
The convention elsewhere is already TEXT (guides.blocksjson,
geenforce.manifestjson).

Review fixes carried on top:

  - six policy GETs were jwt_required(optional=True), which authenticates a
    caller without checking anything; they require computers.view now, and six
    redundant jwt_required decorators are gone
  - the agent installer took a default BaseUrl and CollectorKey, so a mistyped
    run silently pointed an endpoint at the wrong instance; both are mandatory
    and a non-https BaseUrl throws unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed
  - a committing CSV import wrote no audit row

Documentation: the 34 new routes are described in docs/api-inventory.json, which
is hand-maintained on purpose, and the generated spec now covers 331 paths and
477 operations across 22 surfaces. DEVELOPMENT-SETUP's 1071 troubleshooting row
said "use MySQL 8 for dev" and now gives the actual fix, including the trap that
5.6 downgrades ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC to Compact with a warning instead of an error.

Full suite 2123 passed, vitest 260 passed, all seventeen plugin chains migrate
clean on MySQL 5.6 and the naming, docs, parity and read-surface gates are green.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 9m0s
CI / backend (push) Has been cancelled
POST /api/reports/email has always taken any {columns, rows} from any caller,
but the Email report button existed on the toner and warranty pages only - not
because those reports are special, but because they happen to be their own
routed pages and the reports page had no button at all. It is now beside Export
CSV for every report the page can build a table from, which is all of them:
plugin reports through their declared columns, core reports through the flat
list they return, and the asset inventory summary by flattening its three
tables into one with the grouping named in a column. Presentation-only fields -
a status colour, a link id - are left out; a column of hex codes is worse than
no column. The shapes live in a module with tests rather than in the view.

The button is now hidden without reports.export on all three pages. Offering
somebody a button that can only answer 403 is worse than not offering it.

Separately, on the USB kiosk a long drive name pushed Take or Return out
through the side of its card, leaving a drive nobody could press. The name is a
flex item and so defaulted to min-width:auto, keeping its full intrinsic width;
it now yields, wraps mid-word for the serial-style names that carry no spaces,
and clamps its description to two lines so one long name cannot make every card
in the row tall. The locker line is never clipped - it is how somebody finds
the drive.

dba8fc6071 Let somebody retire an asset without an API call
Five of the seven asset types had no way to take a record out of ShopDB from
the interface. Network devices and 3D printed parts had a button; machines,
PCs, printers and measuring tools did not, so a scrapped tool stayed in every
list and report until somebody went to the API.

The endpoints were already there and already correct. Every one of these
DELETEs sets asset.isactive = False and nothing more, so the record leaves the
lists while its calibration history, backups and relationships stay exactly
where they were.

Called "Retire" rather than "Delete" for that reason: the two existing buttons
say Delete, which reads as destruction of a record that is in fact kept and can
be restored by setting isactive back. The confirm says so too, because the
question somebody needs answered before clicking is whether the history goes
with it.

The button is guarded on the record having loaded, on the two pages whose
action row renders before the fetch resolves - measuring tools showed Retire
beside a hidden Edit while the tool was still loading, which would have called
delete with an undefined id.

printersApi had no delete method at all; added.

USB is deliberately left out. It retires through a status column in the
external CMMC database rather than isactive, has its own /retire endpoint, and
needs its own decision about what retiring means there.

ed5d64fa3e Name the record in the browser tab, not just the section
Every detail page read "West Jefferson ShopDB - Machine". Two tabs on two
different machines were indistinguishable, a bookmark said nothing about what
it pointed at, and a link shared into Teams previewed as the section rather
than the thing.

The router cannot fix this alone: afterEach runs before the view has fetched
anything, so it only ever knows the KIND of page. So a detail view names its
record once the record arrives, and both writers go through
composables/pageTitle.js.

THE ORDERING IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. The router awaits the site settings to build
the "<facility> ShopDB" prefix, so on a cold load it finishes AFTER a view that
fetched quickly and would overwrite the good title with the generic one. The
route's fullPath is claimed before that await, and the generic write stands
down when a record title already belongs to the route being landed on. The
reverse case is handled too: a view that names its record BEFORE the facility
name arrives composed against the placeholder prefix, so the late resolve
rewrites it rather than leaving "ShopDB - CSF16" on a site called West
Jefferson. Both are pinned by tests, because both fail only under timing.

Covers machines, PCs, printers, network devices, subnets, measuring tools, USB
devices, printed parts, applications, employees, knowledge base articles and
guides. Printers reuse the page's own displayTitle, which already discards the
literal name "NONE" a discovered queue can carry, so the tab and the heading
agree.

A record with no usable name, or one that failed to load, keeps the section
name: "Machine" beats "Machine 4192" for somebody scanning a row of tabs.
Long names are cut at a word boundary - knowledge base articles are named with
a whole sentence of description, which a browser otherwise truncates mid-word.

Reports gained meta.title, which the router already supported and nothing used.
That also fixes "Pc Relationships", which the name-derived spelling produced.

Two separate floors were collapsing a live cartridge into a spent one, and
removing either alone changes nothing.

EMPTY_LEVEL was 5, so everything at or below 5% was assigned daysleft 0
outright. The reasoning was that a printer at 1% is out of toner as far as
anyone standing at it is concerned. But the row exists to say how long is
left, and 2% draining a point a day has two days in it. Flooring put that
cartridge beside ones that genuinely are empty with no way back to the
difference. It is 0 now: empty means empty.

int(level / rate) then truncated the division, so anything under a full day
arrived as 0 whatever the floor did - a cartridge with six hours in it was
indistinguishable from one with nothing, and the band read it as empty.
daysleft is fractional now, rounded to two places, which is about a quarter of
an hour: finer than the estimate deserves, but it costs nothing and keeps the
ordering of two nearly-spent cartridges meaningful.

daysText reads in whatever unit carries meaning: "6 hours", "1 hour", "29 min",
"4 days". Below an hour it goes to minutes with a floor of one, because
rounding hours would land back on "empty" - the same bug one rung down.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE worth knowing: a cartridge at 1-5% with NO history used to get
daysleft 0 from the floor and land on the order list. A rate needs two
readings; with none there is nothing to divide, and the old answer was right by
accident - it said "empty" about a level nobody had watched move. It now
reports 'no history' and shows under "No estimate yet". This reaches only
printers newly added to Zabbix; anything that got to 3% the ordinary way has
the history to forecast from.

Five existing tests pinned the old rule. They recorded a real decision, so they
are rewritten to the new one rather than deleted. One of them was passing for
the wrong reason: its series (2.0, 1.7, 1.4, 1.1) drops 0.9, under
MIN_DROP_FOR_ESTIMATE, so it never had a rate at all and only passed because
the floor short-circuited ahead of the rate check. It now uses a real 20-day
drop at a tenth of a point a day and asserts the ten days its docstring always
described.

The forecast fixture's black cartridge moves from 1% to 0% so the empty band
keeps its API-level coverage, and a magenta at 3% covers hours-left end to end.

b7cfd2b198 A supply nobody could read is unknown, not empty
Some checks failed

CI / frontend (push) Has been cancelled
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Has been cancelled
CI / naming (push) Has been cancelled
Reported as "CSF04 now reports all 0%", on the printer's own page as well as
the reports. Every supply on one host reading zero at the same instant is not
what a set of cartridges does; it is what a host that stopped answering looks
like.

getsuppliesbyip turned every unreadable item into 0:

    try:
        level = int(float(item.get("lastvalue", 0)))
    except (ValueError, TypeError):
        level = 0

An item that has never collected returns lastvalue as an EMPTY STRING, so
float('') raised and the handler substituted zero. lastclock was fetched in the
same request and read by nothing at all, so a reading from three weeks ago was
presented as current.

Zero is a legitimate level meaning spent, which is what made the substitution
dangerous rather than merely wrong. Downstream it reached `level <=
EMPTY_LEVEL`, which set daysleft to 0, which put the printer on the order list:
the report asked purchasing to buy a full set of cartridges for a printer
nobody had measured. On a waste container it was worse - waste is scored as
100 - level, so an unreadable one read as 100% full, the alarm state.

_readlevel now returns (level, lastseen) with level None for no usable reading:
empty, missing or unparseable lastvalue, or a lastclock older than 24h. A
lastclock that is absent is not treated as stale - a reading that cannot be
aged is not thereby wrong, and discarding it would lose real levels. A genuine
"0" is still 0, which is the half that keeps an actually-empty cartridge on the
order list.

classifysupply gains an 'unknown' status with remaining None. It is not
critical: critical is a claim someone acts on, and it may not be made about a
supply nobody measured.

The low-supplies report skips unknown rather than listing it as needing
replacement, and counts it in summary.unknown - a printer that has gone quiet
should be visible as that, not absent and not masquerading as empty.
_annotate_supply reads .get('level') with no 0 default, which would have put
the whole bug back.

PrinterDetail already rendered `level !== null ? ... : 'N/A'`, so it starts
telling the truth as soon as the backend sends null; the UI had been written
for a case the service never produced. It gains the unknown style - muted, not
a severity colour - and a tooltip separating "no reading at all" from "no
reading since <date>", which are different faults with different fixes.

Alerts needed no change: float(None) raises and that loop already continues,
so unknown supplies stop firing low-toner emails as a consequence.

12 of the 16 new tests fail on the old code. The 4 that pass either way pin
that real zeros still behave, which is the regression this fix could cause.

Not verified against CSF04's actual Zabbix data - dev has no reachable Zabbix.
This fixes the mechanism that turns unknown into 0%; /api/printers/<id>/supplies
now distinguishes them, with null for no reading and 0 for a measured zero.

The forecast identified a cartridge by its part number alone. 'W2020X' only

supply - the Order now list and the Part column - showed nothing else, so the
report read as a list of codes.

Both now show marketingname, which is what the box says: '414X Black'. The
part number moves to the title attribute, one hover away, because it is still
the thing an order is placed against. A supply with no name on file falls back
to the number rather than showing an empty cell; marketingname is nullable.

'Copy list' is deliberately untouched. It writes the part number verbatim,
which is what purchasing pastes into an order, and a spec pins that the name
does NOT reach that text.

firstPart() now returns the whole part row rather than its number, since the
cell needs both halves. It has one caller.

Dropped the .partnumber style with its .unmapped variant: nothing renders that
class any more, and the variant was already dead - the unmapped block lists no
part number by definition.

Verified by mounting the component against a fixture. The dev box has no
Zabbix, so the page itself has no rows to look at there.

Correction only helped on the global search page, and people search from the
list they are already on. Extending it turned out to be a shape question rather
than a volume one: thirty routes take a search parameter across a dozen files,
so carrying a suggestion in each of their responses is a large change today and
one more thing every future plugin author has to remember.

So the suggestion moved to ITS OWN ENDPOINT, /api/search/suggest, which any page
can call after rendering no rows. A page that has not adopted it shows nothing,
which is exactly what it showed before - nothing breaks by omission.

The plumbing lives in useListQuery, which already owned the search term, so a
list needs three lines: take `suggestion` and `reportCount` from the composable,
call reportCount(rows.length) after a fetch, and drop SearchSuggestion into the
empty state it already has. A list that never calls reportCount never offers a
suggestion.

Wired: global search, machines, printers, PCs, network devices, measuring tools,
knowledge base, vendors. NOT wired, deliberately: the type and reference lists
(machine types, PC types, VLANs, subnets, operating systems and the rest), which
are small controlled vocabularies nobody typo-searches, and USB, whose empty
state has a different shape and wants doing by hand rather than by pattern.

TRAP FOUND WHILE WIRING IT, and left commented in every page: applying a
suggestion by calling setSearch alone updates the box and the URL and does NOT
reload the list. setSearch only syncs the URL, and the watcher that would reload
is suppressed because search.value already holds the new term - the same trap
the global search page documents in performSearch. Each page calls its own load
function directly.

The composable guards a stale answer arriving after a newer search was typed,
never offers back the word that was typed, and swallows its own errors: a search
that found nothing is already the answer, and failing to improve on it is not
worth an error in front of anyone.

The route-parity gate caught the new endpoint being served without an entry in
docs/api-inventory.json, which is hand-written on purpose; added, and the spec
regenerated from it (283 paths, 418 operations). That regeneration also carries
the openapi version to 0.12.0, left over from the release.

Some checks failed

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Has been cancelled

A review of d60ed60 and 8b9b936 found five things. Three were introduced by
those commits.

REFUSING A NAMED DEVICE MADE A MARKER PC CLAIM ITS OPERATION. _sync_partmarker
returned [] both for "not a marker PC" and for "a marker PC that linked
nothing", and the caller reads [] as the first - so a bay whose asset-id.txt
named something unresolvable fell through to the ordinary machine link, and for
a marker PC the machine number IS the operation. It took an active link to a
record that can only have one holder while several markers share it, and the
warning said "not linked". The previous behaviour minted a twin; this traded
that for a contested operation. None now means "not a marker PC" and is the only
answer that lets the machine link run; the response normalises it away so the
API shape is unchanged.

A DORMANT CHALLENGER WAS PROMOTED BY DELETING A FILE. Recording a challenger
dormant leaves a row that the next cycle finds as `reuse` and reactivated with
no incumbent check - so a second PC took a live device by its enrollment file
becoming unreadable. Both reuse branches re-check incumbency now, which is what
_sync_machine_link always did.

AN INCUMBENT UNDER ANOTHER COLLECTOR LABEL WAS INVISIBLE. Incumbency was queried
on our own label, but on a CMM the instrument IS the reported bay, so the
incumbent's link is the machine sync's row. A second PC naming that instrument
found no incumbent and linked actively: two live holders of one instrument, each
invisible to the other. Incumbency now counts any collector-owned label. A row
made BY HAND carries none of them and is still excluded - a person's link is not
the collector's to archive.

THE NETWORK FORM LOCKED OUT THE ROWS IT NEEDED TO FIX. Asset number is disabled
while editing, correctly, but the payload is built in script so the blank was
still sent - and the new server-side guard rejects it. A device with no asset
number could not be saved at all, and the field could not be typed into. It now
unlocks only for a record that loaded without one, with a hint saying why.

"2 in 4.0d" WAS THE LABEL LYING. Replacements are counted across the whole
history window; basisdays is only how long the current cartridge has been in.
Joining them with "in" claimed two changes inside four days - the exact shape
reported as unbelievable, except here the data was right. Now "2, this one 4.0d".

Two toner dips the same review found:

A MULTI-POLL OUTAGE STILL MINTED A PHANTOM SWAP. Only single readings were
dropped, so 90, 0, 0, 90 survived and 0 -> 90 scored as a change. Dips of any
length are handled now. One bad sample stays a candidate whatever the polling
cadence, because a reading is an instant; several consecutive low ones only
count as one outage when they are close together, since days at zero is a real
empty period. That time bound also separates an outage from a swap, ordinary
consumption, and a second swap, which have the same shape in levels alone.

THE DIP FILTER ATE REAL SWAPS OF NEARLY-FULL CARTRIDGES. Recovery was tested
with an absolute difference, so 95 then 5 then 100 read as a recovery because
100 and 95 are close, and the swap evidence was deleted. Toner only falls: a
recovery comes back at or BELOW where it left, a new cartridge comes back
higher.

The review also proved by reverting each feature that the previous tests did not
pin the median burn rate or the near-full rule - both passed with the bug
restored. Verified by the same method that all four toner behaviours now fail
when reverted, and the burst assertion is tight enough to tell 0.2 from 0.88.

8b9b9363ee Toner: count cartridge changes that happened, and rate a burst as one burst
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 7m10s
CI / naming (push) Failing after 7m10s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Has been cancelled
CI / frontend (push) Has been cancelled
Two things reported from the floor, one cause each.

"5 CHANGES IN 90 DAYS, THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE." It was. A replacement was any
+10 rise between readings, with no check on where it landed, so two shapes that
are not swaps scored as swaps: a supply reading 0 or near-0 while it was out of
the machine and then reading normally again, and a coarse gauge ticking back up
after a reseat or a power cycle.

A swap must now also LAND near full, because that is what a new cartridge reads,
and a single dip that RECOVERS to roughly where it came from is dropped before
anything looks at it. The dip filter keys on shape rather than cause, which is
why it holds for all of them - a supply pulled out to be shaken, a door open
mid-poll, or a site whose preprocessing maps the Printer MIB's unknown
sentinels onto 0. It is NOT a Zabbix timeout: an item that does not answer
records nothing rather than writing a zero. A genuine near-empty reading before
a real swap does not recover, it jumps to full, so it survives and its swap
still counts.

find_replacements and current_run now read one predicate. When they disagreed, a
phantom rise reset the run and threw away the history the estimate needed - so
the bad count was quietly damaging the rate as well, which is why both were
wrong at once. Expect replacement counts to FALL and per-cartridge history to
lengthen.

A BURST BIASED THE RATE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CARTRIDGE. The rate was the slope
between the first and last reading of the run, and two endpoints cannot tell
"steady" from "burst then stopped". A cartridge that lost 20 percent in two days
and then barely moved for a month read as 0.83 percent/day forever after, so the
report kept promising it would run out long after printing slowed. It is now the
median of the per-interval rates: the burst is one interval among many rather
than one of two points. Rising intervals are dropped as noise; flat ones stay in
at zero, because a cartridge that did not move is real information. If every
interval is flat or rising yet the run dropped overall, it falls back to the
whole-run slope rather than reporting nothing.

Where the intervals disagree by 5x or more the rate carries a marker and an
explanation on hover. The number is still the best estimate available; the flag
stops it reading as a measurement.

The "Changed" column is "Replacements", and its cell says "2 in 90d" rather than
"2 / 90d", which was read as a date, a ratio and a version number.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The hover mini-map said "This asset has a position (2835, 1410) but no level"
for every asset in the product. When 0.11.0 gave LocationMapTooltip a levelid
prop, NONE of its seven call sites were taught to pass one - printer, machine and
PC detail pages, the toner report, enforcement reports, the warranty chip and the
dashboard cards - so the component correctly reported a missing level and the
preview never drew. Two payloads behind those views also emitted mapx/mapy with
no level: the toner report and the enforcement report.

The map PDF export had the ORIGINAL bug still in it: it plotted every filtered
asset onto the sheet, so exporting the ground floor printed second-floor markers
on it. Worse than on screen, because nobody can correct a sheet once it has been
printed and carried onto the floor. It now exports only the level being viewed.

The legacy import loader sent mapleft/maptop with no level at three call sites.
That loader is the one still to run against production, and every marker it
created would have been undrawable. It now resolves the site's default level -
the legacy schema predates levels and has one floor plan, so that is what its
coordinates mean.

THE GATE MISSED ALL OF THIS because it asked whether a FILE mentions 'levelid',
not whether each position does: one module emitted 'mapx' six times and 'levelid'
once and passed. It now checks per occurrence, covers scripts/ as well as shopdb/
and plugins/, and fails any Vue file that binds tooltip coordinates without
:levelid. Both new rules were confirmed to fail the build against planted
violations before being relied on.

Printer QR labels: the asset number is no longer printed. A label now reads name
(8201-HPLaserJetPro), QR, FQDN, then IP. The name falls back to the assetnumber
because that is where sites actually keep it - every printer here has an empty
name field, so preferring the Windows queue name alone would have printed a blank
line on every label.

Follow-up to the application-picker fix. Three of these were already wrong on
data that exists today, not merely latent.

Batch label printing is the worst of them: AssetLabelBatch asked for 500
machines or PCs, got 100, and printed a sheet that looked complete. With 262
machines and 290 PCs in the catalogue that is a physically short run with no
error anywhere - the operator finds out at the label printer, or later at the
bay with no label on it. PrinterQRBatch, USBLabelBatch and PrintedPartsLabels
had the same shape and are fixed alongside it, before their tables cross 100
too.

MachineForm's "controls" PC dropdown offered the first 100 of 290, so a
machine could not be linked to a PC sorting late in the list. NetworkDeviceForm
had it for models, which are already past 100 - and the same file already
called modelsApi.listAll() correctly two lines away.

Adds listAll() to the machines, computers, printers, network, measuring-tools,
USB and printed-parts APIs, all delegating to fetchAllPages().

Still outstanding: callers of vendors, locations, business units and the type
catalogues that ask for more than 100. Those tables are all well under the cap
today, so they are correct for now and wrong the day they are not.

3324dbd91e Buildings and levels for the floor map, and make every identifier searchable
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 9s

CI / frontend (push) Successful in 10s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
The map was one picture of one floor. A second floor was added, the blueprint
changed size, and machines moved, so a position now records WHICH DRAWING its
coordinates belong to.

Buildings and levels (ADR-017). Each level owns its blueprint per theme and its
own native pixel size; assets.mapx/mapy are pixels of assets.levelid, not of the
site. A position whose level is unknown renders "level unknown" and is never
drawn on the default level, because a marker on the wrong floor plan looks
entirely correct while pointing at the wrong place.

Repositioning in bulk: filter by unplaced, needs-review or level, search, place,
confirm. Landmark recalibration solves the transform PER AXIS from landmark
pairs and never from image dimensions - the canvas grew taller without
rescaling, so a dimension-derived scale would stretch Y by 1.57 and be wrong
everywhere. It defaults to a dry run, reports what would land off the drawing,
snapshots before applying, and clears mapverifiedat because a transform is a
guess awaiting review. Snapshots restore, including the level and the review
state, and a restore snapshots first so an undo is undoable.

Search: gaugelabreference was matched only for measuring tools and
maintenancereference was matched nowhere at all, for any asset type, while
Settings happily offers both identifiers on machines and PCs. A tag an operator
is told to record has to be findable or it is a write-only field. USB devices
and printed items were unreachable from search entirely - neither is an asset,
so the generic asset search could not see them and no searcher existed; they
now match on serial, asset tag, label, bin code and gage-lab tag, honouring
isactive, with Settings toggles and result labels to match.

The retired-application rule was half a rule: GET /api/knowledgebase hid
articles whose topic application is retired while global search still returned
them and printed the retired application as the subject. A filter is only real
if every path that reaches the row applies it.

Contract to 0.20.0 (additive): Asset gained levelid and mapverifiedat, Location
gained levelid, and resolve_asset_position returns the levelid belonging to
whichever source supplied the coordinates. The five plugins that write a map
position are re-pinned. The install-list text format gained levelid as a NINTH
field, appended, because the shipped Pascal installer reads fields 0-7 by index.

That installer still compiles in one drawing's dimensions and bundles one
blueprint, so its map is accurate for the default level only; /api/maplevels is
deliberately unauthenticated so it can read both at runtime once rebuilt.
Recorded in PRINTER-INSTALLER.md section 6 along with the other known gaps.

Migration 7d33 converts an existing single-map site into one building and one
default level carrying the old map_* settings, then assigns every placed asset
and location to it. Nothing moves on screen. Old settings rows are kept so a
rollback still finds them. Verified end to end on MySQL 5.6 from a
production-shaped database.

c648bdf560 labels: one module knows how to draw a code, seven views stop guessing
Three core pages and four plugin pages each imported qrcode and jsbarcode
directly, and each carried its own answer to the same questions: what margin,
what width, which error correction, how big a module must be before a scanner
can read it. The answers had already drifted - margin 0 in one place and 2 in
another, width 150 against 160 - and on a label that is the difference between
a sticker that scans and one that does not.

frontend/src/utils/codes.js owns it now: the label-stock presets, the quiet-zone
and margin defaults, CODE128 with no printed value, and the printer-resolution
arithmetic that only the Tech Tools generator had. A view passes what is
specific to its own label and nothing else - MachineBadge still asks for CODE39,
because the badge readers predate the shop-floor scanners and decode nothing
else, and that is exactly the kind of thing a call site should say out loud.

views/print/qrLogo.js is folded in rather than left as a second half-shared
helper that only some of the pages reached into.

The check script now fails a build that imports either library outside that
module. Without it this re-forks within a month: the next label page starts by
copying the nearest existing one, which is how it happened the first time.

Tests cover the part no amount of looking at a screen verifies - a QR that
looks fine at 96 dpi on a monitor can be unreadable at 203 dpi on half-inch
stock.

3d83806135 Make the toner forecast an order, not a table
The report answers a purchasing question, and it was answering it in seven
columns, two tables and a rowspan. What someone actually needs from it is a
short list of what to buy.

So it opens with that list, grouped by part number with a quantity. Two
cartridges of the same part in different printers is a quantity of two, which
is the number an order needs and the one a per-printer table made the reader
count by hand. It covers what is empty plus what goes within a fortnight -
ordering only what is already empty means running empty. There is a copy
button, because it ends up pasted into a mail.

Below it the cartridges sit in urgency bands rather than in one long list
sorted by a number. The question is which pile a thing is in, and a pile that
is empty is worth seeing as empty. Everything past "empty" starts collapsed;
the order list above already covers the same ground in a tenth of the height.

The row is a cartridge now, not a printer, so it can carry its own part number,
its own level bar and its own countdown. Nesting supplies under a printer meant
opening a printer to find out whether anything on it needed doing.

Cartridges with no part mapped are counted on a single line rather than given
one each. They cannot be dropped, since that would quietly shorten the order,
and they cannot be ordered from here either - the job they represent is
mapping them, which is one job however many there are.

Bands and the order horizon are decided server-side, next to the arithmetic
that produces them, so a heading cannot disagree with what got added to the
list.

Checked against a fleet of 43 dev printers with real part mappings, driven by
a stub Zabbix - live Zabbix is not reachable from the dev box.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 6s
Four defects stacked into one nonsense report: cartridges at 20% claiming four
days, cartridges at 1% claiming weeks.

The root cause is a Zabbix API detail. `limit` caps the whole result set rather
than each item, and the query sorted ascending, so the cap kept the OLDEST rows
in the window. A four-cartridge printer polled every five minutes writes over
100k readings in 90 days; the forecast was fitted to the first few days of that
and nothing since. Every rate was real and every rate described a cartridge
thrown away three months ago. Nothing in the output looks wrong, which is why
it needed pinning in a test rather than a comment.

A 90-day burn rate does not need every individual poll, so a long window now
reads hourly trends - the table meant for this, a tenth of the rows, and kept
longer. Raw history serves short windows and any item a site keeps no trends
for. Both are fetched newest-first with the budget scaled per item.

Second, the countdown was computed from the last stored reading while the level
displayed was the live one, so the two could disagree by a whole cartridge. The
live level is now what the countdown divides. A live level far above the stored
run means it was swapped since the last reading, and that is reported as a
replacement rather than as a collapse in the burn rate.

Third, at or below 5% a cartridge reads as empty rather than as a slow drain.
At 1% losing a tenth of a point a day the arithmetic says ten days. The printer
is out of toner, and it is the first thing to order.

Fourth, the days-left column spanned the printer's rows, so the printer's
soonest figure was printed beside every supply it had. That alone accounts for
the shape of both complaints: a healthy cartridge wearing its neighbour's
deadline, and an empty one wearing a number that belonged to nothing on its row.

Also fixes float-typed supplies vanishing from any printer that also had an
integer-typed one - they live in different history tables and the fetch stopped
at whichever answered first.

d109314123 Forecast when a printer runs out, and count what it has been through
The toner report says what is empty now. It could not say what to order, and
nothing recorded how fast anything drains - every level read was cached for
five minutes and then discarded.

Zabbix has been keeping the history all along; we simply never asked. One
history.get gives both answers, because a cartridge only goes DOWN while it is
in use: a rise is a replacement. Count the rises and you have how many
cartridges a printer has been through; fit a slope to the readings SINCE the
last rise and you have days-to-empty. Fitting across a replacement averages a
spent cartridge with a fresh one and describes neither.

Sorted by days left, which is the point. A cartridge at 60% dropping 5% a day
needs ordering before one sitting at 8% that has not moved in months, and a
level-sorted list ranks those backwards.

It refuses to guess. Too few readings, a level that has not moved enough - many
printers report in 10% steps and sit on a plateau for a fortnight - or a recent
replacement each produce no estimate and say which. Those printers are listed
separately rather than sorted in as 0 or as 999, since a printer without an
estimate is neither urgent nor safe. Estimates show what they rest on, because
"9 days from 21 days of readings" and "9 days from 2 readings" are not the same
claim.

A separate report card, not an extension of the toner report: that one is an
exceptions list a tech acts on today, this is an ordering view read monthly,
and the history query is heavier than the live read it would have slowed down.

The analysis is pure arithmetic over a list of readings, so the 14 tests cover
the noise wobble, the plateau, the swap, junk rows and division by zero without
needing Zabbix. Zabbix being unreachable is reported as such rather than
rendering an empty table that reads as "nothing is due".

4d807ccb4b toner report: the part to order, and where the printer is
The report exists to answer "what needs replacing and where do I get it",
and it was answering neither. The part numbers were already in the
lowsupplies payload and simply never rendered; a chip per part now shows
them, with capacity tier and page yield on hover, since a model can list
several tiers for one colour.

Asset # and Location columns are gone. Location is replaced by the
floor-plan preview the asset pages already use, hung off the printer name
via its mapx/mapy.

The IP is now the site's FQDN (printer_hostname_template, built from the
IP exactly as PrinterForm does) and links to the printer's own web page in
a new tab - the report is a worklist, and losing your place in it to visit
one printer means finding your row again. The raw IP stays on hover.

Cartridge names were ellipsised inside a fixed 120px column, hiding the
one thing being reordered. The supplies cell is a grid with a max-content
name column, so names show in full and still line up across a printer's
rows.

CSV and emailed exports follow the screen, with one row per part number so
the result is a copy-pasteable order list.

Operators reported losing a part-filled form by clicking slightly outside it.
Every data-entry modal closed on a backdrop click with no warning and no way
back - the worst possible response to a misplaced click, and it happens most to
someone adding their first records at a new site.

Close-on-overlay is removed from 35 modals across 30 files: anything containing
an input, textarea, select or v-model. They still close by Cancel or the X.

Confirmation dialogs keep it, because a delete prompt holds nothing to lose and
dismissing one by clicking away is the behaviour people expect. VendorsList
shows the distinction - its edit form no longer closes that way, its delete
confirmation still does.

The shared Modal component now defaults closeOnOverlay to FALSE. Every current
caller holds a form, a checkout, a stock adjustment or a map position being
picked, and not one passed the prop, so all of them had the same fault. A modal
that genuinely wants dismissing that way opts in explicitly.

Also regroups the operator console menu, which had grown to numbers 1-9 plus
three letters bolted on with no order to them. Actions are now grouped by what
they touch, keyed by their first letter, and the old numbers still work so
nobody who has used it for months is stopped by a rearrangement.

The menu also warns when the server is not fully provisioned and names the key
that fixes it, instead of reporting it as ordinary status lines that read as
normal unless you already knew what to look for. That check is cached for the
session because it shells out to flask twice and the answer does not change
while somebody reads the screen.

CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 7s
Two fields on the same page were both labelled "Type": the asset's own, and the
catalog model's. Only one of them was vague. "Model type" already says exactly
what it is; the bare "Type" did not say whose.

So the unqualified one is the one that changes. No new vocabulary, and "Model
type" reads correctly against it:

  Type  ->  Machine Type      (machines)
  Type  ->  PC Type           (computers)
  Type  ->  Printer Type      (printers)
  Type  ->  Device Type       (network devices)

Left alone everywhere the word is not ambiguous - measuring tools, subnets,
VLANs, notifications, supply types and the manifest editor have no model type on
screen to be confused with.

This is a labelling change only. It does not address the blank type column on
machines imported from the classic ASP database, which is a data gap the
backfill script fills; renaming a column heading was never going to put values
in it.

Adding a "Model type" row next to "Type" put two rows in the Hardware section
that read identically. They come from different tables - modeltypes is the
catalog-wide list spanning every kind of asset, machinetypes is machine-only -
but the names line up in practice: all 262 machines in the development database
match exactly, which is the same fact that makes the type backfill safe.

So the row now appears only when the two disagree, which is the case worth
seeing: a model catalogued as one thing fitted to an asset recorded as another.
When they agree it says nothing and is hidden. Applied to machines, PCs,
printers and network devices, each compared against its own type table.

An asset that carries a model but no vendor was showing a blank the database
could already answer: the model records its vendor, and both sides reference the
same vendors table. Machines, PCs, printers and network devices now fall back to
it.

The fallback is FLAGGED, not merged silently. to_dict sets vendorfrommodel and
the detail pages render "(from model)" beside the value, because the record
itself is still empty: the edit form shows an empty vendor box, and a page
implying the vendor is stored would be lying about where it came from.

The model's type is exposed under its own name, modeltypename, and shown as a
separate "Model type" row. It is deliberately NOT used to fill in the asset's
own type. modeltypes is the catalog-wide list covering every kind of asset - it
holds "Access Point", "Camera" and "Desktop PC" alongside the machine entries -
so it is a different taxonomy from machinetypes. Only about two thirds of the
names overlap, and mapping one onto the other would mistype the remainder, with
the failure mode being a machine labelled "Desktop PC".

scripts/backfill_vendor_from_model.py writes the derived vendor down for real,
since the display fallback leaves reports that read vendorid still seeing
nothing. It is a dry run unless given --commit, fills only rows where the
asset's vendor is NULL and the model names one, and never overwrites a vendor
somebody chose. It skips a table lacking either column, so it runs against a
server whose network migration has not been applied yet.

Verified against the development database by nulling one machine's vendor inside
a transaction: it was detected as fillable, restored to exactly its original
value, and the rollback left the row untouched.

FLASK_ENV is not forced by the script. The app already reads it from .env, and
overriding it demanded a SECRET_KEY the environment had no reason to supply.

cd79e610e9 printers: make the installer map public (no login)
The /printer-installer map only reads the public install-list and downloads
the install .bat - both jwt-optional endpoints - so requiring auth was an
unnecessary gate. Drop requiresAuth; it now matches the other display/kiosk
tools (public).

0d40780f53 printers: printer installer map + install-batch endpoint
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.

b63690996a fix: location dropdowns rendered blank (wrong field) + require printer model
Some checks failed
CI / backend (push) Failing after 1m52s
CI / naming (push) Successful in 2s
CI / frontend (push) Successful in 9s
CI / migrations-mysql (push) Failing after 8s
The location option label read l.location, but the Location.to_dict() field is
locationname, so every option rendered blank - the dropdown looked empty and
"massive" (a long list of blank rows). Fixed across all five affected forms:
printers, computers, network devices, network device form, and the subnets
location filter. Other .location uses (printer-driver URL, search-result label,
report bylocation key) are legitimately different fields, left alone.

Also require a model on the printer form: asterisk + required attr, plus a JS
guard in savePrinter (the native required is skipped while the select is
disabled with no vendor picked) that points the user at the vendor first.

b211e817d5 printers: low-toner alerts with configurable thresholds + support-team routing
Poll Zabbix for toner levels on a schedule and email/webhook on a downward
crossing. Warning fires at or below the warning threshold (default 5%),
critical at the critical threshold (default 0%); both thresholds are settings.
State lives in printersupplyalerts so an alert fires once per crossing and
re-arms after a refill.

Recipients mirror the printedparts pattern: plugin-scoped shopdb users +
roles + free-text emails (falling back to the site alert_recipients), and a
chosen support team's webhook (falling back to the site alert_webhook_url).

- PrinterSupplyAlert model + migration printers0002supplyalerts
- alerttier(remaining, warning, critical) + check_supplies poller
- flask printers check-toner-alerts CLI (run via scheduled task/cron)
- printers alert settings + Low-Toner Alerts settings page
- 7 tests: tier boundaries, once-per-crossing + re-arm, toner-only scope,
  custom thresholds, support-team webhook routing

31139267d1 Fix model images 404 under a subpath mount (withBase)
Model image URLs are root-relative (/api/models/image/...), so on an /ops
subpath deploy the raw <img src> resolved to the server root and 404'd. Wrap
every model-image src in withBase(): machine/printer/PC/network detail heroes,
the models settings preview, and the machine-badge / asset-label print pages.
withBase leaves external http(s)/data URLs untouched.

592ff49abe ADR-013 Phase 4: extract the 11 plugin routes embedded in core.js
core.js still routed plugin-owned pages directly. Extracted all 11 into the
owning plugin's route file + moved their views into plugins/<name>/frontend/:
- computers: reports/pc-relationships, settings/pctypemapping
- printers: reports/toner, settings/printertypes, settings/zabbix (toner/supply
  monitoring)
- machines: settings/machinetypes
- network: settings/networktypes
- warranty: settings/dellwarranty
- slides: settings/slides (its route file gains a default export; it was
  toplevel-only)
- employees: NEW plugin frontend (employees/:sso + settings/employeedirectory) -
  employees had no route file before; its pages lived only in core.js.

core.js now holds only core routes; all 14 bundled plugins are self-contained
under plugins/<name>/frontend/. Verified live: the extracted Machine Types
settings page renders in the settings rail from the machines plugin frontend.
Build + 58 vitest + naming green.

ebca0b00b0 ADR-013 Phase 4: relocate the remaining 9 plugin frontends (all 13 done)
Relocate warranty, measuringtools, network, printers, usb, notifications,
computers, and slides into plugins/<name>/frontend/. Each plugin's views are
pulled from wherever they lived (own dir, plus the shared views/settings/,
views/reports/, views/print/ dirs, and top-level views) into the plugin's
frontend/views/, and its route file becomes the self-contained routes.js.

Handled the messy cases:
- computers: name mismatch (its views live in views/pcs/) - moved by following
  the route file's own imports, so the dir name did not matter. Its OS/access-
  protocol/PC-type settings views move with it (only computers.js routed them).
- network: NetworkHub's sibling sub-views (NetworkDevicesList, SubnetsBrowse,
  not directly routed) moved too so its `./` imports resolve.
- printers: the qrLogo helper is SHARED with core AssetLabel, so it stays in
  views/print/ and PrinterQR imports it via @/views/print/qrLogo.
- slides: route file is toplevel-only (TVDashboard); SlideManager stays core
  (core.js routes /settings/slides).

frontend/src/views/ now holds only core views; frontend/src/router/routes/ holds
only core.js. All 13 plugins are self-contained under plugins/<name>/frontend/.
Verified live: Network (hub + moved sub-views), Computers (name mismatch),
GE-Enforce (helper), printedparts all render from their staged frontends. Build +
58 vitest + naming green.
