Secure Send hands over a message, not a bare URL
A link on its own invites being pasted onto text that is already in the chat box, and every chat client turns the selection into the link's caption. The secret then travels as the visible message with the secure link wrapped around it, protecting nothing. This is not hypothetical. Six LAPS passwords went out that way in production - machine names and passwords as the caption, the correct /s/<token>#<key> URL underneath, doing nothing at all. Copy message puts a whole sentence on the clipboard: what the link is, how many opens it has, when it expires, and then the URL. A sentence has nowhere to attach itself - pasted into an empty box it is a message, pasted over a selection it replaces it rather than decorating it. Plain text on purpose; a rich-text flavour is exactly what would let a secret ride along as markup. The success card now says to delete the password from the chat box before pasting. The existing hint explains that the key cannot be recovered, which is true and does not stop anybody pasting the password itself. Nothing about the link was wrong and nothing about it changed: the URL carries the token, the key rides in the fragment the browser never sends, the plaintext is dropped the moment it is sealed, and redeeming stays a POST so a preview cannot spend it. |

Share a code by link instead of by instructions
Sending somebody a label meant sending a screenshot and a list of settings to retype, and they would get one of them wrong. Copy share link hands them a URL that reopens the generator with the content, the label, the copy count and every layout value that was actually changed. The whole payload rides in the fragment. A fragment is never transmitted, so it does not reach Flask, it is not in the IIS log, and the proxy between them never sees it - which matters because the content is usually an asset number or a serial, and those have no business scattered through logs. It is NOT secrecy: the link sits in a chat message and in browser history, and anyone holding it can read the content. Secure Send exists for the case where that matters, and the note under the box says so. Only values that differ from a first-time visitor's defaults are carried, so the link stays short enough to paste into a chat box; a shared link then wins over the recipient's own saved settings, because somebody following one is asking to see THAT code rather than their own last one. An unknown key is ignored rather than refused, so a link made by a newer version still opens on an older one. The picture is never carried - a data URL runs to megabytes. Values are coerced back to the type the field holds. Everything arrives from a URL as a string, and a nudge of 0 plus '2' is '02'. Proven end to end: a link made in one browser, opened in a clean context with no saved settings, rendering the same code. |

Ticking a section off crosses out the section
It struck the heading and left everything underneath looking untouched, which is the opposite of what somebody ticking "this section is done" means. The strike now covers every block under that heading, down to the next heading of the same or higher rank - so a top-level section takes its sub-sections with it. That needed the rank, and the HTML importer was throwing it away: h2, h3 and h4 all arrived as a flat 'heading', so a parent heading had no children to cross out. It was the visible half of a real loss - a converted article kept its words and lost its shape. Headings now carry their level and render at it, and a guide written before this reads as flat, exactly as it did. Code blocks, tables and images inside a finished section fade but are not struck. A line through a command makes it unreadable, and re-reading the command is usually the reason to look back at a step already done. The five imported guides were re-imported so they carry their structure. |

Tech Tools is reachable by the people it was built for
Every tool on that page is usable without an account, on purpose - the routes carry no requiresAuth and say so - and Secure Send is the one write this product offers a guest. The sidebar entry still never appeared for them: it named no permission, so the filter that decides what a signed-out visitor may see had nothing to go on and dropped it. The plugin had no read permission to name, only tools.secrets, so it gains tools.view: reaching the page at all. The tools themselves run in the browser and touch no data, which is why this is about whether the entry appears rather than about what anybody can read. The item names either right. Somebody granted only Secure Send needs the entry that leads to it, and a manager who holds neither still does not see it. |

A nav item says which permission its page needs
The sidebar hides what the caller cannot reach - that is what makes it useful to a guest, and what stops a member with a sparse role being offered links that can only answer 403. It reads the permission off the nav item to decide. Only four items ever declared one. Machines, PCs, Printers, Network, USB, Knowledge Base, Notifications, Calendar, Dashboard, Map, Applications and Reports declared nothing, so the filter had nothing to go on: granting the guest role machines.view opened the API and left the sidebar empty, which reads as the grant not working. Every item now names its read permission - in the plugins, in the core navigation endpoint, and in the frontend's fallback list, which is what renders when the endpoint is unreachable and would otherwise disagree with it. |

Reading anything needs a permission
A sweep of the URL map found 165 GET routes that answered anybody, with no token at all: the whole asset inventory, every machine, PC, printer and network device, the USB checkout history and who is holding which drive, the staff directory with its photographs, every core report. Guest access had been argued about one feature-flag at a time while the front door stood open. Each of those now carries the read permission it belongs to. That also makes the guest role mean something: a site can open exactly the reads it chooses, and nothing follows by accident. Thirty-three endpoints stay public, and each is named with its reason rather than left to be inferred: the app shell and its bootstrap, the settings allowlist (the handler already filters an anonymous caller down to branding and a few keys), images fetched by <img src> which carries no Authorization header, what a display kiosk renders before anybody signs in, the parts and USB kiosks, the client scripts that run as SYSTEM before a user session exists, and a secure-send link whose unguessable token IS the authorisation. tests/test_core/test_public_read_surface.py is the standing gate, the companion to the mutating-route sweep that has guarded writes for months. A new public read fails CI until somebody adds it to that list in front of a reviewer. Four further reads need a login but no permission, because the handler decides from who you are - your own user record, your own API tokens, the role catalogue the grid renders - and the same test proves each still refuses an anonymous caller. Verified not vacuous by ungating one route and watching the sweep name it. The employees plugin gained employees.view; the directory is names, SSOs, photographs and reporting lines, and it had no permission of any kind. Around ninety tests asserted payload shapes against endpoints that answered anybody. They are about what the answer says, not about who may ask, so they are signed in now rather than the gate being loosened. The ones that assert an anonymous caller is refused were left exactly as they were. |

Tick a guide's sections off as you work through it
Only checklist items could be ticked, which answers "what have I done" but not the question a long procedure actually raises: where was I. Somebody looks away to do the thing the guide asked for and looks back at a wall of text. Every step and every heading now carries a checkbox while reading. Ticking one strikes it through and fades it rather than hiding it, because somebody scanning back up the page has to still be able to read what they did. The number is struck through with it, but the step's own "Step 3" label is not - that is the address of the thing, not part of what was done. Headings count, not just steps. A guide converted from an HTML article often has fifty headings and no steps at all, and those are exactly the guides long enough to lose your place in. That also means the card's "N steps to tick" stops reading as a broken feature on a guide that is entirely tickable. Reading only, as the checklists already were: in the editor a tick would be an edit, and an author clicking around their own draft would quietly change what the next reader sees as done. Progress stays per browser and per version - shopfloor PCs share a login, so one technician's ticks must not greet the next person on that bay, and step 4 of version 3 is not step 4 of version 2. |

Anyone not signed in holds the guest role
Whether somebody with no account may see something was being answered one feature at a time: a securesend_allow_guests setting, an enable flag per kiosk, and very nearly a third for guides - each with its own settings page, its own vocabulary and its own hand-written branch inside a route. Every one of them answered a permissions question, and this app already administers permissions per role. So a caller with no token is not nobody: they hold the seeded `guest` role. require_permission consults it when there is no identity, which is the entire mechanism. The role is seeded holding NOTHING, so an upgrade opens no door; a site opens one by ticking a box in the same grid it uses for every other role, and closes it the same way. Revocation is read on every request rather than cached, because taking guest access away is what somebody does the moment they realise what they opened, and it has to bite immediately. The redundant @jwt_required() above require_permission is gone from 184 routes. It was belt-and-braces before; now it is actively wrong, because it refuses a request with no token before the permission check can have an opinion, so a grant would appear to do nothing. What a guest may hold is bounded. Any .view or .read permission is grantable. A WRITE has to be blessed by whoever owns it, through the new get_guest_grantable_permissions hook (contract 0.21.0), and Secure Send is the only case that exists: sending a password to a vendor is the one write this product means to offer somebody who never signs in. Everything else is refused by the API and greyed out in the grid rather than warned about - a checkbox that quietly makes deleting an asset anonymous is not a warning anybody reads twice. A guest write records no creator: the trail says when and from where, never who, and that is the reason for the bar. GE-Enforce and Slides gained read permissions so they can be opened to guests without handing out the manage right. Their read routes accept either through require_any_permission, so nothing an existing manager could reach has moved. The navigation endpoint now returns only what the caller can actually reach. Without that a signed-out visitor gets a sidebar of the whole app where every link bounces off the login page, which reads as a broken site rather than as a closed door. A nav item may name several permissions; holding any one is enough, which is what GE-Enforce and Slides need now that a viewer and a manager hold different strings. Two things this found on the way: current_user is a LocalProxy, so `current_user is None` is False for a request with nobody behind it - harmless under a required JWT, an AttributeError the moment verification became optional. And an image pasted into a guide before its first save was never attached to it, so it was visible to editors and invisible to every reader; saving now attaches it, and `flask guides fix-images` repairs what is stored. The guides guest setting written earlier today is gone. Granting guides.view to the guest role replaces it, which is the point. |

A guide can be carried to another site
Guides are written on one site and needed on all of them, and the sites that matter are air-gapped from wherever the writing happens. Until now a procedure was stranded in the database it was typed into: the HTML importer could rebuild one from its original article, but anything authored in the editor had nowhere to go. flask guides export writes one .guide.json per guide, with every image the blocks reference carried inside it as base64. One file on purpose - a bundle that needs its images copied alongside it is a bundle that will eventually arrive without them. flask guides import reads them back, a directory at a time, and refuses anything that is not a bundle before it writes a row rather than half-importing a stray .json sitting in the same folder. What travels is the content: title, summary, tags, blocks, images. What does not is ids, revision history, authorship and publication state, because those belong to whichever database issued them - an imported guide starts as a draft at revision 1, owned by whoever ran the import. The SLUG does travel: it is the address somebody pastes into a work order, and the same guide should answer to the same name on every site. --replace updates the guide already carrying that slug instead of creating a second one, which is how a corrected guide is re-shipped. It drops the stored images first: the incoming bundle is the whole truth for that guide, and a guide re-shipped monthly would otherwise accumulate orphans nothing points at. Bundles refuse a version they are too old to read rather than importing the parts they recognise. A newer site's guide is not a guide this one can be trusted to render. Proven by round-tripping a five-guide export back into the same site, including one carrying two PNG screenshots, and reading it in a browser. |

An HTML article can become a guide
A site adopting this app arrives holding procedures already written: styled HTML pages that get mailed around, opened off a share, and edited by whoever still has the file. Those pages are exactly what a guide is for, and retyping one into the editor is how a good procedure stays on a share forever. flask guides import-html reads the page and produces blocks. It recognises the vocabulary those pages actually use - a step box with its own number, an alert in one of three colours, a code block with a copy button, a checkbox list, a table with a header row - and maps each to the block that already renders it, lifting embedded images into guideimages so a document stops carrying its screenshots as base64. Page furniture goes: the header, the footer, and the table of contents a guide builds for itself from its own headings. The conversion is lossy on purpose. Colour, fonts, width and nested layout are dropped, because storing blocks rather than markup is what makes dark mode, printing and tickable steps work at all. So an import is always a DRAFT and the default is a dry run that reports what it would produce and writes nothing. Blocks go through the same validator the API uses: an import must not be able to store something the editor could not have produced. The parser is tolerant, because real articles are not well-formed. An unclosed <p> is normal HTML and the browser closes it at the next block element; without the same rule one unclosed tag swallows the rest of the article into a single paragraph, which is what it did before the test caught it. Proven end to end against four real articles, including one carrying two PNG screenshots, read back in a browser. |

Every report offers to email itself, and a long drive name stays in its card
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.

Kiosk: find a free drive by typing, and use the width of the panel
A cabinet of thirty drives was one long column to read through. The free list now filters from a search box and lays out in as many columns as the panel is wide - four on a wall display, two on a tablet, one on a phone - while the steps that hold a single control stay narrow, because stretching one input across a 24 inch screen reads as a broken page. A drive is found by its id, by what is written on it, or by where it lives. The words can arrive in any order, and "locker" is part of what is searched, so "locker engineer" finds the engineering locker - that is how people say it out loud. Filtering is client-side: every free drive is already on the screen, and a round trip per keystroke on a wall panel would be worse than no filter at all. The matcher lives in its own module with tests rather than inside the view. The box takes focus as the picker opens so somebody can simply start typing, and it is cleared when the kiosk resets - the next person at the cabinet must not inherit a filter and conclude there are no drives left. Also: both this view and the guides blocks coloured muted text with a `--textmuted` variable this app has never defined. The browser dropped the declaration, so every hint, subtitle and locker line was rendering at full strength. The variable is `--text-light`. |

USB check-in / check-out audit, as a report rather than a paged list
CMMC removable-media tracking is an audit obligation, and answering "who had this drive, and when" meant paging through the check-in/out list by hand. GET /api/usb/reports/audit returns the events - a take and a return are separate rows, because a count cannot answer the question an audit actually asks - with summary figures riding along for the people who only want the shape of it, and a CSV for the people who want it in a spreadsheet. The window is named rather than a day count: today, last month, six months, a year, all time. Nobody should have to work out that a year is 365. Both directory modes answer in one voice. The external path reads the cmmc_usb checkinoutlog; self-hosted expands one usbcheckouts row into its two ends, so a returned drive is distinguishable from one still out, and the window filter runs in SQL against either end of the loan - a drive taken before the window and returned inside it is a check-in the window has to show. Rows come back from the mode-specific half; the CSV, the summary and the response shape are built once in the route. Ordering is total in both modes. Timestamp alone ties for two events in the same second, and the same query then returns them in a different order each run, which reads as the log being unstable. |

USB kiosk: drive lists in two columns, in the order the labels read
The kiosk was a single column of full-width rows top-aligned on the page, so a cabinet of a dozen drives meant scrolling a wall panel, and the page itself scrolled - which takes the "Your drives" heading off screen and leaves somebody looking at a list with no idea whose drives they are. The lists now sit in a grid that fills the width and scroll INSIDE themselves against a bounded height, with the panel centred as one block the way the parts kiosk beside it already is. Two kiosks on the same floor that sit differently on their screens read as two different products. Drive ids sorted as text, which puts USB-10 ahead of USB-3. Compared with a numeric collator so the list runs in the order the labels on the drives read. |

Somewhere to actually turn the USB kiosk on
The kiosk page tells an administrator to enable it in Settings under USB. That place did not exist - the setting was reachable only through the API or a shell, which is the same trap the backups plugin shipped with. A settings page and a catalogue card, so the instruction leads somewhere. |

Network devices: manage buttons where every other asset keeps them
Machines, PCs, printers and measuring tools all carry Print Label / Edit / Retire / Back to List in a page header. A network device had no header at all: Edit was tucked inside the hero title row, and Print Label and Delete sat in a bar at the very bottom of the page, past every card. Managing one meant looking somewhere different from every other asset type. They move to the standard header. The bottom bar is removed rather than left as a second copy, and the two delete handlers collapse into one - the route is a soft delete, so it is called Retire here as it is everywhere else, and the confirm says what is kept. |

Guide editor: real arrows, drag to reorder, add a section where it goes
Four things people kept tripping over. The move controls were a literal ^ and v character. They are arrows now. Sections can be dragged. The handle is a grip in the block bar, not the block itself: making the whole container draggable swallows text selection inside its own textarea, so you could no longer select a word to bold it. The type palette lived once, at the bottom of the entire guide. Adding a step in the middle meant adding it at the end and walking it up one press at a time. There is now an insert point in every gap - and at the end, so there is one way to add a section rather than two. Linking to another guide or a KB article meant knowing its slug or id by heart. A picker searches both by title and writes the markdown link at the cursor. It offers published guides only - never send a reader to a draft - and it stores an in-app path rather than an absolute URL, so the link survives the site being reached by another hostname or mounted under a subpath. The knowledge base is a separate plugin that a site may not have installed; its absence costs nothing but its results. |

Sidebar sections are DECLARED, not guessed from a position number
The section headings were derived from position ranges: 10-29 became Assets, 30-49 became Information. A number is for ORDER; it was never a statement about meaning, and using it as one meant a plugin landed in whichever bucket its number happened to fall in. That is how USB Devices - an asset - came to sit under Information beside GE-Enforce and Tech Tools, and 3D Parts with it. Nobody chose that. It also meant two plugins picking the same number silently reordered each other: Warranties and Guides both held 8, the tie broke on plugin load order, and Guides rendered under Warranties rather than under Slides where it was asked to go. Warranties moves to 9. Each nav item now names its section and the renderer groups by what was declared. An item with no section stays in the unlabelled group at the top, which is the safe default: it appears, it is simply not filed. Assets gains USB Devices and 3D Parts. GE-Enforce and Tech Tools move to a new Fleet section - they are neither assets nor reference material, and calling them Information was only ever an artefact of their position numbers. Also: sorting used `position || 99`, and 0 is falsy in JavaScript, so Dashboard - the only item that uses 0 - sorted to the end of its own group. |

USB kiosk: take and return a drive without a ShopDB login
The people who actually take USB drives are standing at the cabinet, and most of them have no account here. Check-out and check-in were gated behind a login that was not doing much anyway: both modes already attribute the action to a scanned BADGE rather than to the signed-in user, so the login was gating the screen, not the record. /usb-kiosk is a full-screen touch page modelled on the parts kiosk, off unless a site sets usb_kiosk_enabled - every route 404s until then, rather than 403, so a disabled kiosk does not advertise that there is a door here. It works against the self-hosted tables or an existing cmmc_usb database. THE LIST IS THE TRADE. These drives carry no barcode, so unlike the parts kiosk there is nothing to present and the screen has to offer a list - which exposes more than a scan-first design, where you had to already hold a drive to learn anything. So the list is not anonymous: an SSO comes first and must resolve to a real person before any drive is named, which is the same bar taking a drive already had to clear. It is a POST so the badge stays out of proxy access logs. The main screen shows the caller's own drives, what is free, and a COUNT of everything else; holders of other people's drives appear only behind a second deliberate tap, so nobody reads the whole cabinet off a wall panel in passing. A badge that resolves to no employee is REFUSED, unlike the signed-in route which creates the user row. A checkout nobody can trace to a person defeats the tracking, and at a kiosk there is no operator standing there to vouch for it. Returning somebody else's drive asks first and then records the badge that was SCANNED, so the log says who actually handed it back. That is the honest record and it needs no change to a schema this app does not own. Refusing a mismatch outright is a setting but not the default: a drive left behind by somebody on leave would otherwise be unreturnable at the kiosk, which just moves the problem to a person with a login. The authz sweep caught these writes, twice - once for the two mutations and again for the two list endpoints. Both are exempted with the reasoning written out beside the parts-kiosk entry rather than silenced. The list endpoints are POSTs that change nothing. Verified by driving the real page: SSO on the keypad, tap Take, database moves. |

printedparts 0003 was an unguarded ALTER, and no test could see it
Unlike its twenty siblings it ran a bare add_column plus create_index, so `flask plugin upgrade-all` failed with "duplicate column name: gagelabtag" on any database whose tables were built by create_all and stamped nowhere - and a chain stops at its first error, so 0004 never applied either. The index is guarded by COLUMN SET rather than by name: create_all names indexes by SQLAlchemy's convention and the migration by this repo's, so a name-keyed guard would have added a second index over the same column instead of skipping. The test that should have caught it was restricted to plugins whose whole chain is a single baseline, on the reasoning that a longer chain meets a second problem - an ALTER whose column is already present - that guarding a create_table does not fix. True, but the conclusion was wrong: the answer is to guard the ALTERs too, not to stop testing the chains that have them. It now covers every post-cutover chain, and was confirmed to fail against the unguarded migration before the guard went in. |

Backups: stop storing credentials, and fix a dedup chain that never matched
The NTLARS/DNC registry carries an FTP password in cleartext and it was stored verbatim. That put it in the backuprevisions table, on the revision panel which renders values, and in the download route which hands back a ready-to-import .reg - so anyone holding backups.view could read it off a web page. Redaction happens at PARSE, so the secret never reaches the database at all. Redacting on display would have left it at rest and one query away. What is deliberately NOT done is dropping the value silently. This codec already refuses to discard an unparseable value, precisely because a backup that looks complete and restores a machine with a setting missing is the worst outcome. A redacted value keeps its name, is listed in the projection, and renders as a COMMENT naming what must be set by hand. Emitting a placeholder as the password would produce a machine that looks restored and cannot connect, and the technician would go debugging the network. scripts/redact_backup_secrets.py scrubs revisions recorded before this, dry run by default. It leaves contenthash alone: the hash identifies the configuration a bay reported, so rewriting it would make every bay's next post look like a change and insert a duplicate revision across the fleet. Separately, sourcehostname is now normalized at ingest. samesource() maps '' to IS NULL for the query while the insert stored the raw '', so rows written by a client posting an empty hostname could never match their own next post: every post inserted, the table grew without bound, and the history filled with identical entries nobody could read. Whitespace did the same thing more quietly. |

Guides: make images render, and stop drafts leaking to readers
Images were a broken icon for every user. The stored URL was bound straight to <img src>, and a plain image request carries no Authorization header while this app keeps its JWT in one, so every fetch was a 401. They are now fetched through the API client, which also fixes the stored '/api/...' path under a subpath mount where the API is not at /api at all. A failed image says so in words rather than rendering as a broken icon, and the editor's own thumbnails go through the same path - an author needs to see the screenshot they pasted. Revision and image routes gated on their parent guide. Both were gated on guides.view alone, and revision ids are sequential, so being able to read one guide was enough to walk the ids and read every unpublished draft on the site - the opposite of what docs/GUIDES.md promises. An image in a PUBLISHED guide still serves to any reader; one that only appears in a draft does not. The guide list, the tag chips and search now match the PUBLISHED text rather than the working copy. Matching the working copy handed readers a hit on wording that is not in the page when they open it. The slug no longer follows the title. It was regenerated on every save that carried a title and the editor autosaves every three seconds, so fixing a typo in a heading silently moved the URL and broke exactly the pasted links the stored slug exists to protect. publish() now aborts when the pre-publish save failed. It ran regardless, so the author saw "Published version N" while readers got the previous revision. Link rendering: text is escaped before formatting, so a captured URL arrives carrying entities and was escaped a second time - every multi-parameter ServiceNow and SharePoint link opened with &amp; in it. Emphasis could also reach inside an href, and '//host' passed as an in-app link when the browser reads it as off-site. Tests are now HTTP-level. The draft-invisibility rule lived entirely in routes that no test executed, which is how three of them shipped serving drafts. |

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. |

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. |

Let Guides reach a site, and reach core the way every plugin must
Two faults the guides plugin shipped with, both caught by gates that were already there. deploy/site-profile-universal.json never listed `guides`. That file is the profile the released Windows installer is built from, so the wizard would not have offered Guides at all - and worse, `flask plugin prune-schema` drops the tables of any plugin absent from the profile at provisioning (ADR-014). A site installing the next release would have had its guides table dropped. plugins/guides/models/guide.py imported shopdb.core.models.base directly. Plugins reach core only through shopdb.api or shopdb.plugins.base (ADR-001), and shopdb.api already re-exports BaseModel, so this is the same symbol by the supported path. The suite was red on main because of these two; it passes again. |

Document the guides API, and move Guides beside Slides
The repo already enforces that every served route appears in docs/api-inventory.json, and the guides endpoints did not - so the parity test was failing. They are now listed with auth, params and a working example each, beside knowledgebase because the two get read for the same reason. docs/GUIDES.md covers what the inventory cannot: the block schema and why it is blocks rather than HTML, the id rule that makes a tick rememberable, what the server refuses and why validation happens at the door, the working-copy / revision / published-pointer split that stops a live procedure changing under somebody following it, and a worked example of creating and publishing a guide from a script. It also states plainly what does not exist yet - no importer, orphaned images never pruned - and what converting existing documents will actually be like: structured HTML and Markdown map onto block types nearly one for one, while a plain-text runbook lands as paragraphs and needs marking up by hand afterwards. Generated ids have to stay stable across re-imports, or every re-import resets readers' progress. Guides moves to position 8 in the sidebar, beside Slides, rather than down among the reference lists in Information. A guide is something somebody goes and does something with, not a catalogue they look things up in. |

Guides answer the search box, and proofing catches what spellcheck cannot
A guide was invisible to global search. Core search has a hardcoded block per domain rather than a hook, so a new plugin stays unreachable until someone adds one - which is the same shape as the gap this test file already documents for USB devices and printed parts: records with a list page, labels in the world, and no way to find them from the search box. Guides are searched by title, summary, tags AND body. The body matters more here than elsewhere: people look for a procedure by something written halfway down it, not by a title they never read. PUBLISHED ONLY - a draft is deliberately invisible to readers, and search is exactly where that rule leaks if nobody writes it down. The test proves it with a draft sharing a tag and a body word with a published guide, so a missing filter would show up as a ride-along. PROOFING catches what a spellchecker cannot, because none of these are spelling: a smart quote in a command so it will not run, a checklist item with no text so a step is silently missing, a heading left with nothing under it after a reorganise, an image with no alt text, a TODO published by accident. Warnings, never blocks - somebody publishing at 14:40 with one empty bullet should be told, not stopped, and a procedure that exists imperfectly beats one nobody wrote. The smart-character issue reports once per block with a one-click fix, rather than once per offending character: an opening and a closing quote are one problem, and listing both makes the panel look like it is nagging. The character table itself is written as escapes. The style gate forbids non-ASCII in source, and a file whose job is detecting smart quotes cannot contain any - which the gate caught, correctly. |

Make writing a guide less like operating an editor
Seven changes, all aimed at the same thing: think about the procedure, not about blocks. Live preview beside the editor, rendered with the SAME component readers get, so what an author sees is what will be published - a separate preview implementation would drift within a month. Formatting buttons wrap the selection, so nobody needs to know the markup is Markdown. New blocks and pasted images land AFTER the block being worked on rather than at the bottom of the document, which removes the scroll-back that made adding a screenshot mid-guide annoying. Enter in a list makes the next item and focuses it, the way every other list in every other tool behaves; backspace on an already-empty item removes it and steps back up. Typing a ten-item checklist no longer needs the mouse. Templates, because the blank page is the real barrier to somebody writing a procedure down at all. The shapes are lifted from the KB articles the team already writes, so guides written here read like the ones written before them. Autosave on a three-second debounce with an honest status line, safe precisely because the server dedups on content - an autosave that changed nothing writes no version. Leaving with unsaved work now asks first. CLIPBOARD: the code block no longer writes to the clipboard. A page that programmatically copies a shell command is the exact shape of a ClickFix attack, where malware plants a command in your clipboard and talks you into pasting it into Run - and uBlock Origin blocked ours, correctly, because it was writing PowerShell on click. The button now SELECTS the code and says to press Ctrl+C: same convenience, decision back with the person, and nothing for security tooling to object to. AUTOCORRECT is on for prose and off for code and table cells. A code block that autocorrects produces a guide telling somebody to run a command that does not work - smart quotes replacing a straight one, an autocapitalised cmdlet - and it still LOOKS right to the author. The person at the bay gets the syntax error. |

Print a guide light, whatever the screen theme is
Printing a dark-mode page lays a full page of toner down for the background and knocks the text out of it in white. On a shopfloor printer that is a cartridge for a handful of guides, and the result is harder to read than the plain version. Somebody would have found this the expensive way. The theme tokens are redefined for print only, in an unscoped block because overriding them has to reach :root. Every guide element already renders through those variables rather than literal colours, so this is a dozen lines instead of a rewrite - the same discipline that made dark mode work without dark-mode code. Backgrounds are dropped rather than printed grey: a callout is identified by its rule and its heading, which cost nothing. Checkboxes print EMPTY even where they are ticked on screen, because a printed guide is a worksheet somebody carries to the bay, and one person's progress is not part of the procedure. The footer gains the print date beside the version, so a stale copy pinned to a noticeboard can be spotted. Also corrects the model and migration found by running this against a real database rather than SQLite: BaseModel contributes createddate, modifieddate and isactive to every table and the migration never created them, so the first read failed on unknown columns; the model had also declared duplicate timestamps on top, now removed with the API field names kept stable. And the slug is 191 characters, not 300 - it is UNIQUE-indexed, MySQL caps an index key at 767 bytes, and utf8mb4 is 4 bytes per character. |

Guides: write a procedure in ShopDB, not beside it
The knowledgebase plugin is a link registry - a description, a URL and some keywords pointing at a document held somewhere else. That leaves the documents themselves as HTML files on a share: no search, no history, no way to know whether the copy pinned to a noticeboard is current, and no way for a technician to tick off where they are. A guide is stored as an ordered list of typed blocks rather than a blob of HTML, because three of the four things this feature exists for depend on it. A tickable step needs a stable id to be remembered; dark mode needs semantic markup rather than pasted colours; and print needs to know where a step begins so it does not split one across a page. Free HTML gives none of that and lets pasted styling fight the theme. Inline text is a restricted Markdown subset - bold, italic, inline code, links, line breaks - escaped BEFORE formatting, so nothing an author pasted can reach the DOM as markup. No fonts, sizes or colours: emphasis is semantic and the theme decides how it looks. That is what makes a guide written next year match one written today, and dark mode work without an author thinking about it. DRAFTS AND VERSIONS. The guide row is the working copy; every save that changes something writes an immutable revision; and a separate pointer says which revision READERS get. Without that pointer, editing a live procedure changes it under a technician who is halfway through following it. Publishing promotes an existing revision rather than snapshotting, so a publish with unsaved edits cannot ship a version nobody reviewed. Restoring writes a new revision with old content, so the record of what people were told in between survives. Saves dedup on a content hash covering title, summary, tags and blocks, so an autosave that changed nothing writes no version - otherwise the history fills with identical entries and hides the three edits that mattered. Progress lives in the browser, not the database: shopfloor PCs share a login, so per-user ticks would show one technician's progress to the next person on that bay, which reads as "already done". Keyed by guide and version, because step 4 of version 3 is not step 4 of version 2. Five permissions, and the split between edit and publish is the point: a technician can write a procedure up while somebody else decides it is fit for the floor. create-without-edit works too - an author may edit their own guide until it is published, after which other people are following it. |

An unmeasurable backup must not hide a working one
CI caught this: judging a host by its stalest kind treated a never-confirmed revision (lastseenat NULL) as the worst case, so it won. The verdict for a NULL confirmation is tri-state None, which renders as NO BADGE - so a host with a healthy ntlars backup and one backfilled row showed nothing at all. Hiding a working backup is the one thing that badge must never do. A NULL confirmation is not stale, it is unmeasurable. The stalest kind is now chosen among kinds that can actually be judged, which is the rule staleness.py already applies: a chain becomes measurable the first time its PC posts and says nothing until then. If every kind is unmeasurable the host still reports which kind it has, with a None verdict and no badge. The test that caught it pinned the old newest-wins behaviour, which part markers made wrong; it now pins stalest-measurable-wins and keeps its NULL clause, which was right all along and is what found the bug. Also worth recording how it was missed: the change was verified against test_geenforce_reporting.py and test_backups.py, and this assertion lives in test_geenforce_publish_gate.py, which was never run. |

Give the backups plugin a settings page, and show where a snapshot is
The plugin shipped five settings and no page for any of them. The core settings catalog is a hardcoded list a plugin cannot extend, so backups_shareroot and the collection interval were reachable only through the API or a flask shell on the server - which is not a configurable setting in any useful sense, and it is how today went: the setting simply was not there to set. The page is contributed the ADR-010 way rather than by editing core - a card from get_settings_cards plus a route in the plugin's own routes.js, both of which disappear when the plugin is disabled. Filed under Machines, next to Machine Types, because that is where the assets these back up live. It also states the two things the settings do not say for themselves: that health is judged on when a backup was last CONFIRMED rather than when it last changed, and that retention prunes database revisions only - files on the share stay, so enabling it on a share-backed kind leaves orphaned snapshot directories. Snapshot paths are now shown as full UNC text in both places: a Snapshot row on the Marker Contents card, and the existing path on the history page, which gains a copy button. Deliberately NOT a link - browsers refuse to navigate from an https page to file://, so a clickable path looks actionable and silently does nothing, which is worse than no link. Copy, then paste into Explorer. The path comes off the revision, never composed from the configured share root: a snapshot written before the layout changed still lives where it was put. |

Judge a PC's backup by its stalest kind, not its newest
Until part markers, a PC reported exactly one backup kind and "newest revision wins" was the same thing as the truth. A marker bay reports two: ntlars for the machine's DNC settings, partmarker for the controller's patterns. With newest-wins, the daily ntlars post keeps the badge green while the marker backup has been failing for a month. The failure shows only on that marker's asset page, which is not where anyone looks to find out something stopped - and "is this still being checked" is the one question this badge exists to answer. So a host is green only when everything it backs up is current, and the badge names the kind that is not. Freshest revision per kind first, because lastseenat only ever moves on the newest revision of a chain; judging every row would report a healthy, frequently changing config as permanently stale. Known consequence, and the right direction to err: a device retired from a PC leaves its last revision behind, so that host stays stale until the revision is pruned. It complains about a backup that genuinely is not running rather than staying quiet about one. The dashboard card needed no change - it already lists every stale chain independently, so a stale partmarker chain was never hidden there. |

Let a share-backed backup say what is in it
A 'share' kind keeps its bytes on the file share and gives ShopDB only a hash and a UNC path. That is right for an opaque vendor file, but it means the app cannot answer the question a tech actually arrives with - what does this part marker hold, and which pattern disappeared last month. Reading the share from the app server is not an option: the download routes refuse to mount it on purpose, because a permissions slip there becomes an unexplained empty panel. So the collector now accepts an optional manifest alongside the hash: the index, not the content. Names, sizes, per-file hashes, and the marking system each pattern was authored for. Advisory throughout - a client that sends none behaves exactly as before, and dedup still keys on contenthash. The marker asset gains a Marker Contents card built from it: counts by type, the controller family, and a diff against the previous snapshot in the same source chain. Removed files are named rather than counted, because "1 removed" only tells someone to go and look. Files edited in place are named too - the file set can be identical while the content hash moved, and reporting no change there would contradict the reason the revision exists. The manifest is deliberately NOT covered by contenthash, which attests the bytes on the share. A client that starts describing itself therefore posts an unchanged hash, so a no-op backfills a manifest the row does not yet have - otherwise the card would appear only on markers that had recently changed, and stay hidden on every healthy one. The same no-op refreshes sharepath, so a snapshot that moved on the share stops being pointed at where it used to be. Manifests are validated at ingest rather than at render: a malformed one would otherwise become the latest revision and fail every view of the asset page until the content next changed, outliving the client bug that caused it. sharedir() for the marker kind is overridden to the layout the site actually uses, so what ShopDB displays and validates matches what the collector writes. |

Stop the collector being able to set a printer assignment
The printer feature rests on one rule: a collector report is OBSERVED state and never ASSIGNED state. If a drifted bay's own state can become what it is told to install, enforcement stops meaning anything, because a bay that installed the wrong printer makes itself right simply by reporting it. _sync_printer_links broke that rule. It ran on every collector PC push and, when the payload carried defaultprinter or printers, wrote defaultprinter and connectedto rows from the report - defaultprinter being one of the two types _reconcile_edges is meant to own alone, from authenticated routes a human calls. It was recorded as dormant. It was not. The collector schema ADVERTISED both keys and the example client in COLLECTOR-INTEGRATION.md set $payload['defaultprinter'], so the documentation was recruiting callers for it - while the same document, under "Observed is not assigned", promised that nothing on this path writes a usesprinter or defaultprinter row. The document contradicted itself and the code followed the wrong half. Nothing in the fleet armed it, because the first-party reporter never sent those fields, but any third-party client written from the docs would have. Retired the function, its _sync_one helper and the now-unused PRINTER_LINK_ORIGIN label, and removed both keys from the schema. IGNORED, NOT REJECTED. Unknown payload keys are not validated, so a client written against the old docs keeps pushing successfully and only its printer keys stop doing anything. The response warns, naming the keys and pointing at POST /api/collector/printers for reporting queues and seed-from-observed for adopting them. Dropping them in silence would leave an integrator believing assignments were still being written, which is a worse failure than the one being fixed. The docs were the larger half of this. The schema table rows are gone, the "PC -> printer relationship sync" section is replaced by a note saying what happens now to anyone still sending the keys, and the example client no longer enumerates Win32_Printer at all - it points at Report-PrintersToShopDB.ps1, which posts to the observed endpoint and posts NOTHING on a failed enumeration, since an empty list would erase the host's rows. test_collector_printers.py pinned the old behaviour, so it now pins the opposite: the keys create no relationships, the push still succeeds and says why, a payload without them stays quiet, a human-made default survives a report naming a different printer, and the schema no longer offers the keys. |

Let the warranty search find a machine number
Reported: the warranty page cannot be searched by machine number. It was there to be found. _related_machine puts the machine's number in the payload, and it does so for a stated reason - a shopfloor PC is bought, warranted and replaced as a PC, but it is FOUND by the machine it drives, and nobody walks the floor looking for an asset number. The table renders it as a chip. The filter looked at vendor, service level, service tag and asset number, and never at the machine. So the one identifier the feature was designed around was the one thing the search box could not match. This is how a field list goes wrong: a column was added to the table and not to the filter, and nothing connects the two. Moved the field list into warrantySearch.js so a test can see it, following controllingPc.js and labelPages.js. Machine name is searched as well - somebody who knows the bay by "the Makino" should not have to look up its number to find its warranty. The specs also pin the case that made the old inline version fragile: a covered asset whose machine is null, which is every printer and any PC nobody has linked yet, must not throw. And a missing field must not match: String(undefined) is 'undefined', so a naive coercion makes a search for "und" hit every row with an empty vendor. Not changed, worth knowing: the covered asset's NAME is still not searched, only its number. That looks like the same omission, but it is a wider change than the report - the placeholder has always said "asset" without saying which half - so it is left for a deliberate decision rather than folded in here. |

Let a baseline meet a table that is already there
Reported: `flask plugin upgrade-all` failed the tools plugin with "table securesendsecrets already exists". Every post-cutover baseline emitted a plain op.create_table. That is correct only while a table's existence and its plugin's Alembic stamp can never disagree, and they can. Anything that builds tables from the models - db.create_all(), which `flask db-utils create-all` calls - creates them and stamps nothing. A run that creates a table and then fails before its stamp commits leaves the same split, and re-running is the obvious thing to try. In both cases upgrade-all meets existing tables with an unstamped chain and the create is fatal. Nothing caught it because the migration test DROPS the post-cutover tables db.create_all() built before running upgrade-all. That arranges the one state where an unguarded create works, and never the state the report came from. The new test is the same sequence with the drop removed for the plugin under test. create_table_if_missing and create_index_if_missing are in alembic_template.py next to create_plugin_tables, which had the idempotency rule right and turns out to be called by nobody - its docstring claimed every 0001 used it. Fixed the docstring rather than rewiring the baselines onto it, because the reason they hand-write their DDL still stands: the helper's per-plugin MetaData cannot resolve a foreign key to a core table at CreateTable-compile time. INDEXES ARE MATCHED ON COLUMNS, NOT NAME, and that distinction matters. The two creators disagree about names - db.create_all() takes SQLAlchemy's default convention (ix_securesendsecrets_token) and a baseline spells it the way this repo's naming rules require (ixsecuresendsecretstoken). A name-keyed guard would have called the index missing and added a second one over the same column, which MySQL permits with a warning, so every affected site would have quietly grown duplicates. The test asserts no table ends up with two indexes over the same columns. Applied to all nine table-creating plugin migrations, not just the tools baseline that was reported: the four later migrations that create tables have the same exposure, and geenforce, measuringtools, printedparts and backups are the same defect waiting for a different site. WHAT THIS DOES NOT FIX. It makes a baseline idempotent, not a whole chain. A longer chain can still meet an ALTER whose column is already present - printedparts adding gagelabtag to a table create_all built at head is the case that showed up while testing. Guarding every op one at a time is the wrong answer to that; a database built from the models is already AT head and its chains want stamping rather than replaying, and there is no `flask plugin stamp` today. Left alone deliberately rather than half-built, and the new test is scoped to single-baseline plugins so it does not pretend otherwise. |

Stop re-creating a controlling-PC link that was already there
Reported: moving machine 3016 on the map and saving answered "this relationship already exists" and refused the save. The map had nothing to do with it. Every save of the machine form re-POSTed the controlling-PC link, and the server was right to refuse it - the row was already active, and assetrelationships is unique on (source, target, type). Any edit to a machine that has a controlling PC hit this; a position change is just the one somebody happened to be making. The form asked the wrong question. It used "do I know the existing link's id" as a stand-in for "is there an existing link", and read that id from rel.assetrelationshipid - a key the API has never emitted. to_dict serialises column names and the column is relationshipid, so the read was undefined on every load while controllingPcId was populated from the same relationship. The two answers disagreed, and the disagreement was invisible: undefined is not an error, it is just a falsy id. That single conflation caused both failures. Saving anything re-created the link, and CLEARING the controlling PC did nothing at all, because "no selection and no known id" reads as "nothing to do" - so removing a machine's controlling PC silently kept it. Only the first of those was reported, and the second is the one somebody would have trusted. Fixed by making the LOADED PC the authority on whether a link exists, with the relationship id used only to delete a row. If that id ever goes missing again the worst case is a link that cannot be removed, never a duplicate create. The decision moved to controllingPc.js as a pure function so it could be pinned by tests, following labelPages.js. Unchanged is now explicitly no-op rather than delete-then-create: re-linking a machine to the same PC opens a window where it has no controlling PC at all, and resolve_asset_position walks that edge, so a failure between the two calls would drop the machine's inherited position along with its link. The specs also cover a select handing back '42' against an API that gave 42, which would make an untouched link look like a swap and reach the same duplicate POST by another route. Not the printer assignment, which was the first guess: PrinterAssignmentPicker makes no relationship calls, and its save is wrapped in a catch that only logs, so it cannot surface an error from this form at all. |

Give the guest setting somewhere to be changed
Reported: no Tools section in Settings. The setting existed in the database and had no page, which from a person's side is indistinguishable from the feature not existing. get_settings_defaults SEEDS a setting. get_settings_cards (ADR-010) is what puts it in the rail. Declaring only the first is a silent half-feature: nothing fails, no test notices, and the switch is unreachable. The page states the cost where the DECISION is made rather than in a document nobody opens - turn it on and it says a guest-created link records no creator, so the audit trail can say when and from where but never who. Admin-only, like every other settings page, because this one decides whether an unauthenticated caller may write to the site. Also caught while wiring it: the card asked for a 'shield' icon, which is not in the settings iconMap, so it would have rendered the fallback puzzle piece - the glyph that reads as "nobody chose this". Uses wrench, matching Tech Tools. The row still comes from `flask plugin upgrade-all`; the card appears either way, and without the row the page loads empty. |

Stop making people sign in to reach tools that need no account
/tools, /tools/codes and /tools/secure-send were all behind requiresAuth. None of them needed to be, and one of them actively contradicted a setting added an hour earlier: securesend_allow_guests lets somebody with no account create a link, and the page they would create it on was behind a login wall. The label generator runs entirely in the browser - no API, no data, nothing to protect - so gating it only ever cost a guest the use of it. THE SERVER STILL DECIDES who may create a secret. A signed-in user needs tools.secrets; a guest needs the site to have opened guest creation. Making the page reachable is not the same as making the action allowed, and the two were conflated. The page now reads the setting on load, so a guest at a site that has NOT opened guest creation is told to sign in instead of being handed a form that was always going to be refused - with a line saying that receiving a link never needs an account, because somebody who lands there confused usually has a link they should be opening instead. A signed-in user always sees the form, even without the permission: the server's "you do not have permission" is a different answer from "sign in", and collapsing them would send somebody to a login page they are already past. |

Let a site open secure send to guests, and choose how many times a link opens
Two asks, and the first is a real security decision so it is a SETTING that defaults to the safe answer rather than a code change somebody inherits. securesend_allow_guests, OFF by default. With it off the model is unchanged: a login plus tools.secrets. With it on, somebody with no account - at a shared bay terminal, a contractor - can create a link too. The cost is named in the setting's own description and pinned by a test: a guest secret has NO CREATOR, so the audit trail can say when and from where but never who. That is the whole reason it is a switch a person turns on deliberately. IT FAILS CLOSED. A missing row, a half-migrated site, an unhappy database - the answer is no. An error must never be the thing that opens an unauthenticated write endpoint. A SIGNED-IN USER STILL NEEDS THE PERMISSION even when guests are allowed, which is surprising enough that a test pins it: opening the door to guests is a decision about the door, not about revoking what a role holds. Guest creation is rate limited per address, same shape as the login limiter. Not a security boundary - a determined person has more addresses - but an open endpoint should not be an easy place to park data or fill a disk. VIEWS ARE NOW A NUMBER, 1 to 100, instead of a four-item dropdown. How many people need a password is the sender's business: a shift handover is not one colleague on a call. The floor is what matters, not the ceiling - unlimited views would just be a password on a web page. Also folded in, from the retention question: nothing removed a secret that EXPIRED WITHOUT BEING OPENED. The recipient goes on holiday, the link is never clicked, and the ciphertext sat there for good - not readable, but it made "nothing lingers" untrue and grew the table in exactly the case where the feature failed. Any create now sweeps expired rows and a late click tidies its own, so it stays bounded without a scheduler an air-gapped site would never add. Two gates caught mistakes on the way: current_user is a LocalProxy and is never None, so `current_user is None` silently took the signed-in branch for a guest; and cache was imported straight from shopdb.extensions when it is already on the shopdb.api contract surface. 1836 tests green. |

Build a secret's link from the site's URL, not the browser's
Reported from production: clicking a secret link gave an IIS 404, and the link read /s/<token> where the site lives at /shopdb/s/<token>. The link was assembled from window.location.origin, which is scheme and host only. site_base_url already exists for this and says so in its own description - "used for QR codes and any absolute link the app emits" - with getSiteBaseUrl() as the helper the QR pages use. This reached past all of it. Both halves were wrong, and the second is worse because it fails silently: MOUNT PATH. A site served under /shopdb or /ops carries that in front of every route. Leaving it off is the reported 404. HOST. Whoever creates a secret may have reached the app by an IP, a short hostname, or a name that resolves in one VLAN, and the recipient opens the link from somewhere else entirely. The configured site URL is the one address known to work for both of them. The shape of this failure is what makes it worth spelling out: the secret was created SUCCESSFULLY and the sender was handed a link that could never work, so the failure landed on the recipient, the sender had no reason to doubt it, and the secret expired unread. A 500 would have been kinder. Falls back to the browsing origin when a site has not set site_base_url, which is what every other absolute link here does. BASE_URL is injected at build time, so the subpath half of this cannot show up in dev and only appears on a subpath deployment. |

Hand somebody a password without leaving it in a chat window
The habit this replaces is pasting a credential into Teams, where it stays until someone deletes the conversation. Tabled on 2026-08-21 pending a decision about scope; the decision was text only, so this is the half that survives it. BACKEND ONLY. There is no page yet, so nothing here is reachable by a person. TEXT, NOT DOCUMENTS, and that shapes everything. Dropping files removed the export-control question entirely - a password is not technical data - along with blob storage, size and MIME handling, and the need to authenticate the recipient so a document fetch could be pinned to a name. TWO DOORS. Creating needs a login AND securesend.create: anonymous creation would be an untraceable way to move data out of a system that otherwise records who did what, and the creator is the only person these rows can ever name. Reading needs neither, because the recipient usually has no account here and the link is handed over on a call - the unguessable token IS the authorisation, which is why it is 128 bits of randomness and why the row is spent on first read. REDEEMING IS A POST, and that is the detail that would have broken this in practice. Teams, Outlook and Safe Links prefetch GET urls to build previews and scan for malware, so a GET that redeemed would let a preview window consume a secret before its recipient ever saw it. The GET route that remains reports only whether a link is still live, so the read page can say "opening this will destroy it" without spending the only view to find out. THE SIZE LIMIT IS THE WHOLE ENFORCEMENT. The key lives in the URL fragment, which browsers never transmit, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read and cannot tell a password from a page of a drawing. MAX_CIPHERTEXT is therefore not a tuning knob: raising it quietly turns this into the document transfer it was scoped not to be. The refusal says what the limit is FOR, because somebody hitting it is usually trying to send a file and the answer is a different tool. Line counts, file signatures and refusing a pasted file belong in the browser, guide an honest person, and are bypassable by anyone willing to POST directly. NOT ENUMERABLE. Missing, expired and spent all answer identically - telling them apart would confirm to anyone holding a guessed token whether it ever named anything. A spent or expired row is deleted on the way past rather than waiting for a sweeper, because it has no reason to keep its ciphertext. Its own plugin rather than a Tech Tool: that plugin is browser-only by design, and this needs storage, expiry and a view counter. Not an asset extension either, so no assetid and no asset type - the scaffold assumes one and it was removed. FOUND BY ITS OWN TESTS: expiryhours=0 returned 201. `int(x or DEFAULT)` treats an explicit zero as absent, so "expire immediately" silently became "expire in a day". A caller who sends a number is now told when it is not allowed rather than quietly given a different one. BEFORE ANYONE RELIES ON THIS, test that your link rewriter preserves URL fragments: create a secret, send the link to yourself in Teams, click it from the message, and check the key is still after the #. If Safe Links strips it the secret is unrecoverable and the server cannot help, which is the point of the design. The fallback is passphrase mode, worth building only if that test says so. Three product gates caught what a new plugin has to declare, and each was right to: the route-parity gate wanted the endpoints described in api-inventory.json, the lean-build guard wanted the plugin listed in the universal profile the released installer builds from, and the authz sweep wanted the public redeem route named in EXEMPT_ENDPOINTS with a reason. That last one matters most - a mutating route that answers an unauthenticated caller is a decision somebody has to write down, not a default, and reading a secret is a mutation because it spends it. |

Refuse a measurement that makes the label stop existing
Reported as a barcode rendering 176 by 0. A bar height of zero is what does it: the number went straight into a CSS length, height: 0in is perfectly valid, and an image sized height: 100% of a zero-height box is zero pixels tall. The label comes out full width with nothing on it, which reads as a rendering failure rather than as a field doing exactly what it was told. A cleared field was the same bug wearing a different hat. An emptied number input holds '', not 0, so the page emitted `NaNin`; the browser dropped the declaration and the box fell back to auto height. That one merely looked wrong instead of vanishing, which is arguably worse for finding it. Measurements now go through labelVars(), which will not emit NaN, an empty length, or a zero for anything whose zero means the box stops existing. Padding, the quiet zone and the gap still take zero, because there zero is a real answer, and offsets stay signed. It is a separate module because this is exactly the kind of arithmetic that needs tests rather than a preview: every case in labelVars.spec.js is a value a number input can actually hold. The stylesheet now carries fallbacks on its var() reads as well, but they are a net, not the fix: a custom property set to garbage is substituted and then dropped at computed value time, and the fallback does not apply - it only covers a property that is absent entirely. |

Only zero is empty, and the last day is worth reading
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. |

Stop a caption from eating the barcode, and put the labels beside the settings
Reported as the CODE128 not appearing in the preview. It was appearing, in 44 of the 45 preset and layout combinations swept - as a 36 pixel stub. The code box and the caption were both allowed to grow, so a caption of any length took half the label and then kept taking, and on 1.00 x 0.50in stock a few words of caption left a barcode too narrow to scan. Present, useless, and indisinguishable from a failed render. The caption now takes the room it needs and no more, and a CODE128 holds at least 40% of the label, or all of it when stacked: past that there are too few narrow bars left to read, and a caption that wraps or clips is the better trade. So that a real failure can never again look like this one, an empty code box now says so in red in the preview. It is screen-only - the marker must never reach a printed label. The settings were a narrow column with the preview trailing below them, which put the labels being adjusted off the bottom of the screen. Settings on the left, labels on the right in a column that stays in view and scrolls on its own, folding back to one column on a narrow window. That scrolling column is a print hazard worth naming: an ancestor with its own overflow clips a multi-page print to whatever happened to be on screen. Print resets it, and the check is a six-page two-sided run coming out as six pages with the label as the only clipping box in the chain. |

A supply nobody could read is unknown, not empty
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.
