on_install/on_enable fire only on a state transition, so a permission declared by a later plugin version never reached an already-installed site through them. Until someone ran flask seed permissions by hand the name did not exist, and any route guarding on it refused every caller. Settings already had sync_all_plugin_settings() on the upgrade path for exactly this reason; permissions now have the counterpart.
The scope relink is the half that actually bites. Creating the Permission row only makes the name exist - the prebuilt scopes derive their grants from the catalog, so a permission seeded without a following Role.seedscopes() belongs to nobody but admin. The plugin installs clean and its UI is invisible to every non-admin, which reads as a broken plugin rather than a seeding gap. Ordering matches flask seed permissions: seedscopes only links rows that already exist, so it runs last. Additive, so a site's deliberate role edits survive the deploy, and best-effort per plugin so one bad plugin cannot abort a deploy.
Test deletes an existing plugin permission, runs upgrade-all, and asserts both that the row returns and that it is granted to the technician scope. Verified it fails without the fix rather than passing vacuously.
Exports caller_is_role on the plugin authorization surface. Additive name, so a minor bump. Scoped personal tokens are always refused by it, matching require_role, which stops a plugin from accidentally letting a scoped token inherit role authority from its owner.
Registers the tables added by the endpoint lock and policy hold work (endpointlocks, policyactionholds) plus the endpoint health tables in the alembic template, so plugin migrations see them and the ownership guard does not report them as unclaimed.
Add defense-in-depth validation to prevent path traversal attacks when
enabling/installing plugins via the UI or CLI.
Layer 1 - Input Validation (enable_plugin):
- Validate plugin names with regex ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$
- Reject reserved names (., .., empty string)
- Blocks attempts like ../../../etc/passwd at entry point
Layer 2 - Path Boundary Check (load_manifest):
- Verify resolved manifest path stays within plugins_dir
- Defense in depth even if name validation is bypassed
- Compatible with Python 3.8+ (fallback for < 3.9)
Risk Assessment: LOW
- Requires admin role (already trusted)
- Multiple existing validation layers
- No known exploitation in the wild
Rationale: Defense in depth best practice. Admins are trusted, but input
validation should not rely solely on authorization checks.
Tested:
- Valid names pass (backups, my-plugin, plugin-name)
- Path traversal blocked (../../../etc/passwd)
- Reserved names blocked (..)
- Both validation layers confirmed working

enable_plugin() now auto-installs available plugins before enabling them.
This fixes the UX issue where clicking Enable on an AVAILABLE plugin would
fail with 'Plugin is not installed'. Now it installs automatically (runs
migrations, seeds permissions) then enables it.
Before: User had to manually install via CLI first
After: Enable button works on AVAILABLE plugins (one-click install+enable)

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.
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.
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.
curl --fail exited nonzero on the login probe's 400 before the body reached grep VALIDATION_ERROR, so the healthcheck always failed and the container reported unhealthy while the app was fine. Drop --fail so grep decides pass/fail. Also register endpoint tables in PLUGIN_TABLE_OWNERS so plugin migrations can resolve their owned metadata.
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.
Catalog with photos and append-only print-file revisions, a stock
ledger attributing every take/restock/adjust to a badge-resolved
employee, a touch kiosk (scan bin, scan badge, keypad quantity) with a
deliberately open decrement-only take endpoint, 1x0.5in CODE128 bin
labels, low-stock email alerts to selected users, roles, or addresses,
and stock/consumption/by-person reports with a cache-vs-ledger
reconcile. Ships disabled; enable per site. Contract 0.13.0 adds the
mailer and the User/Role models to the plugin surface.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
