fix(installer): the bundled database rejected connections it should have accepted
Two defects in the stage 0 bootstrap, both surfacing as "Access denied" on a server where the operator was holding the correct password. CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS is a no-op on an existing user - it does NOT change the password. Stage 0 generates a fresh password every run and overwrites .dbpass with it unconditionally, so any path that re-runs the bootstrap over an existing account left the handoff holding a password the server had never been told. ALTER USER now follows each CREATE, so the stored password and the handoff always agree. The user was also only created for 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1'. On current Windows, 'localhost' resolves to the IPv6 loopback FIRST, so an operator who types localhost rather than 127.0.0.1 arrives as '<user>'@'::1' - an account that did not exist - and MySQL answers "Access denied" naming a host they never typed. The ::1 account is now created and granted alongside the other two. Note the datadir guard means the first defect could not fire on a straightforward re-run - stage 0 refuses a non-empty data directory before reaching the bootstrap. It was still wrong, and reachable once the directory has been cleared by hand, which is what the failure message tells operators to do. |

fix(installer): install the Visual C++ runtime before MySQL, and log the MSI
Second failure from the Server 2019 test. The previous fix worked - msiexec went from exit 1639 (ERROR_INVALID_COMMAND_LINE, which is why it printed its usage dialog) to exit 1603 (ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE), so the command line parses now and the MSI itself is failing. It failed in 1.1 seconds. An MSI that dies that fast has not begun installing; it has failed a launch condition. MySQL 8.4 requires the Visual C++ redistributable and a bare Windows Server does not ship it - the same runtime mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe import, which was visible when their DLL dependencies were trimmed and went unnoticed. Stage 0 now installs VC_redist.x64.exe from the bundle before touching MySQL, skipping it when vcruntime140.dll is already present, and fails with a sentence naming the requirement if the redistributable is absent from the bundle altogether. vcredist\ is an optional locked payload. msiexec also gets /l*v now. A bare 1603 names neither the failing action nor the reason, and it is the most common MySQL install failure - diagnosing this one took a launch-condition inference rather than a log. The MSI log lands beside the installer's own in ProgramData, so the next failure is readable instead of guessed at. |

fix(installer): bundled MySQL install failed on a malformed msiexec command line
Reported from a Windows Server 2019 test: a "Windows Installer" dialog listing every msiexec /Option appeared, then the wizard reported that the bundled MySQL database could not be installed. That dialog is msiexec's usage help - it prints it when the command line does not parse - so the install never started. Cause: $MysqlRoot defaulted to 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.4', which contains spaces. Invoke-Native wraps any argument containing whitespace in quotes, producing "INSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\...". msiexec takes public properties as PROPERTY=value and expects the VALUE quoted - INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\..." - so it rejected the line, printed usage, and exited non-zero. This file already carried the rule, next to the Python target: "Never put a space in a path this installer controls." I broke it setting the 8.4 path. Two fixes, because one of them alone leaves the trap in place: - $MysqlRoot is now C:\MySQL84, space-free like C:\Python314. The MySQL client search paths in the installer, the preflight and the operator console all look there first, keeping backups working against the bundled server. - Invoke-Native now quotes PROPERTY=value correctly, so passing a spaced path explicitly no longer produces an unparseable command line. tests/test_installer_defaults.py fails if an installer-controlled path default ever contains a space again. |

feat(installer): bundle the database - MySQL 8.4 LTS, not 8.0
The bundled-database option could not actually be built. Stage 0 looks for mysql\mysql-8.0.x-winx64.msi, and Oracle no longer publishes a standalone server MSI for 8.0 - every 8.0.x returns 404. What remains for 8.0 is the MySQL Installer bundle, which is an installer-manager: 'msiexec /i INSTALLDIR=' would install THAT rather than a database, and stage 0 would then fail on a missing mysqld.exe. MySQL 8.0 also reached end of life in April 2026, so bundling it would have put an unsupported database on every new site. 8.4 LTS still ships the standalone MSI (129MB, which is what the '125MB' note in stage 0 was written against) and is supported into 2032. Defaults follow it: install root MySQL Server 8.4, service MySQL84. The operator console still looks for an 8.0 install path as a fallback, for sites already running one. Also bundles mysqlclient\ - mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe with the two OpenSSL DLLs they actually import, 20MB rather than the 51MB of debug and auth-plugin libraries the archive ships. Stage 2 stages it onto the server, so a site whose database is on ANOTHER host can still take the pre-upgrade backup that every upgrade depends on. That was the gap the preflight had started warning about. Bundle is now 221MB. |

fix(installer): correct a false security claim, and clear the should-fix list
CLIENT IP / SPOOFABILITY. docs/geenforce-api-cutover.md claimed that removing the IIS rewrite rule made the allowlist fail closed and that it does NOT become spoofable. The opposite is true. IIS never sets X-Forwarded-For on its own; the rule is the only thing that does. Remove it and IIS still forwards whatever X-Forwarded-For the CALLER sent, waitress trusts it because it arrives from 127.0.0.1, and remote_addr becomes attacker-controlled - so a token-less caller can fetch manifests from anywhere on the network. The document and the _trusted_client_ip docstring now say so, waitress runs with --trusted-proxy-count=1, and stage 5 checks the rule is actually live rather than assuming it. The wizard question is rephrased to something an operator can verify with their network team instead of guessing at. NON-ASCII. The style gate only ever checked .py/.vue/.js/.ts, so documentation accumulated em-dashes, arrows and box-drawing characters against this repo's own convention - including in files added this week. Cleaned, and the gate now uses INCLUDES_ALL so Markdown, JSON and YAML are covered. PLUGIN DEFAULTS. The wizard pre-ticked measuringtools and printedparts, both of which ship default_enabled=false, so every site taking the defaults installed and enabled them against their manifests. Inno has no JSON parser so the list must be hardcoded, but tests/test_installer_defaults.py now fails when it drifts. UPGRADES. The payload copy merges, so a plugin dropped from a site's profile kept its code forever - which defeats a lean build and leaves core's optional-import guards succeeding for a plugin the site no longer has. Stale plugin directories are now deregistered and removed before the copy. add-plugin used 'plugin install', which for the five default_enabled=false plugins left them installed but DISABLED - and printed a green success line anyway. It now goes through apply-profile, and the success line is gated on the exit code. Invoke-Flask records its own exit status, because $LASTEXITCODE keeps a stale value when flask.exe is missing and no native command runs. CHARSET. The utf8mb4 compiler hook lived inline in migrations/env.py, so it covered the CORE chain only: plugin baselines inherited the server default, which on a latin1 server means two charsets in one database. It is now shopdb/utils/mysql_charset.py, imported by both, and preflight reports the database's default charset. BACKUP HONESTY. The dump was described as 'all of your asset data'. Uploaded branding and floor-map images live in instance\ on disk, not in the database, so a restore from the .sql alone comes back with no map. backup now archives instance\ alongside it and says both are needed. VERSIONING. AppVersion was hardcoded at 0.9.0 while the product, the frontend and the newest tag said 0.7.0 - and 0.9.0 collides with a retired contract version. Both builders now generate version.iss from shopdb/__init__.py. Smaller: rollback overwrites .env before deleting it, as uninstall already did; appcmd unlocks are scoped to this site's location rather than server-wide, with the wide unlock as a fallback; DEVELOPMENT-SETUP says Python 3.14; the README plugin list gains printedparts; prune-schema --force is documented as first-provisioning-only; HTTPS is documented as not-the-default with the steps to add it; the DBA SQL is on the wizard's database page; the features page says unticking does not remove an installed feature; and the installer README states that bundle-lock cannot vouch for the exe itself - that needs signing or an out-of-band hash, neither of which is wired up. |

fix(installer): stop it lying, stop it leaking, and make it findable
Nine fixes from a review of the installer against its actual audience: DT leads at sister sites who are not Windows, IIS or Python specialists and who will lean on an AI assistant to get through it. TRUTHFULNESS. The preflight was advisory - an operator read 'IIS is not installed', pressed Next, answered five more pages and the install died partway through with Python already on the box. The results page now blocks while anything is failing, repaints on every run instead of latching after the first, and offers 'Check again' so a fixed problem does not mean starting over. On failure the wizard said 'Nothing was left running', which is false in every path because the stages run with -OnFailure never: it now says the server is part-configured, that re-running is safe, and how to remove it. The final page no longer reads 'ShopDB-Flask is ready' after a failed install. SECRETS. The generated MySQL root password went to Write-Host in a process the wizard runs hidden - so nobody saw it - and stdout is forwarded into the setup log operators are told to send to support, so it was permanently recorded for everyone who did not need it. It now goes to an ACL'd file. Database dumps, which contain every user password hash, landed in a ProgramData directory readable by every user on the box; the directory is now locked at creation. UPGRADES ON REMOTE-DATABASE SITES. mysqldump was looked for only under local MySQL install paths, so a site whose database is on another host silently skipped every pre-upgrade backup - after stage 2 had already stopped the pool and replaced the tree. Find-MysqlTool now prefers a client shipped in the bundle, stage 2 stages it onto the server, preflight reports when it is missing, and mysqlclient\ is an optional locked payload. UNINSTALL. A subpath install is an IIS Application, not a site; removing only the site left the application pointing at a deleted directory, so the parent site - at West Jefferson, the live classic ASP - served 503 on that path forever while Add/Remove Programs reported success. Uninstall now reads MOUNT_PATH and removes the application. The firewall rule was created as "$SiteName $SitePort" and removed as the literal 'ShopDB-Flask 8090', which matches nothing. DAY-2 TOOLING. Every shortcut now passes -AppRoot and -SitePort, and the console forwards them through its own elevation and 32-bit relaunches instead of discarding them - a non-default directory or port made it report a healthy site as broken, from a shortcut the installer wrote. 'Open ShopDB-Flask' resolved to a hardcoded localhost:8090 that was wrong for every subpath install; it now asks the console, which reads the address the installer recorded, and no longer demands administrator to open a browser. SMOKE TEST. The parent-site port lookup filtered for an http binding and defaulted to 80, so an https-only parent site failed a working install with a red dialog. DOCS AND /api/docs. The installer was invisible: nothing in docs/, README.md or CLAUDE.md mentioned it, so a DT lead or their assistant landed on the manual IIS runbook and hand-built the very server the installer then refuses to upgrade. docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS.md and docs/OPERATE-WINDOWS.md are now the canonical route, the two manual runbooks are bannered as reference-only, README and CLAUDE.md route by target, and llms.txt tells an assistant which document to follow and to ask for 'check -Json' before diagnosing. Both ship on the server, along with openapi.json and llms.txt - without those the self-hosted /api/docs was broken on every installed box, which matters most to the sites least able to debug it. Stage 5 now checks it actually serves. shopdb-admin.ps1 gains 'check -Json': one structured, secret-free block covering version, publishing method, IIS state, HTTP reachability, database, Python version, plugins and errors. That is the cheapest useful answer to 'the operator will ask an LLM' - it works with no infrastructure, which a install-time MCP server could not. |

fix(installer): the adopt-existing guard never fired
Stage 4 decided whether the IIS objects it was about to reconcile were its own by testing for .installed-version. Stage 2 writes that file, and stage 2 always runs first in a '-Stage all' install - so by the time the guard looked, the stamp it had just written made every server look like one this installer built, including the hand-built ones the guard exists to protect. Stage 2 now records whether a stamp was present BEFORE it writes its own, and stage 4 reads that observation. Running stage 4 alone still tests the file, which is correct there: no stage 2 has run to disturb it. Found by review, not by test - the guard has no coverage, because exercising it needs a live IIS. |

feat(installer): refuse to damage an installation it did not create
Two guards for a server deployed by hand, which the West Jefferson production box is. An existing venv is reused, which is right for a repair or an upgrade of an install this made, and wrong when the venv belongs to a different Python. The wheelhouse is tagged for one minor version, so pip finds no candidate for the compiled packages and dies partway through - after Python has been installed and the application tree replaced. The two versions are now compared up front and the run stops with both numbers and what to do about it. Switching deployment method removes the other method's IIS artifact. That is correct when this installer owns both and dangerous when it does not: a wrong -MountAlias would call Remove-WebApplication on a live mount with no prompt and no error, and the first sign would be the site returning 404. It now refuses unless a version stamp shows this installer made the install, or -AdoptExisting is passed, and the refusal lists exactly what it would have removed. |

feat(installer): bundle URL Rewrite, ask where client IPs come from, verify installs
IIS does not set X-Forwarded-For on its own and HttpPlatformHandler connects from loopback, so without a rewrite rule every client reads as 127.0.0.1. The GE-Enforce IP allowlist, the dashboard visitor-location lookup and per-host login rate limiting all stop working, silently. The rule needed URL Rewrite, which the installer told operators to download - from an air-gapped server. URL Rewrite now ships in the bundle, and the wizard asks which case applies, because the two answers are mutually exclusive. Directly exposed: install it and set X-Forwarded-For from REMOTE_ADDR, which is what stops a client spoofing its own. Behind a proxy: leave the rule off, since REMOTE_ADDR is the proxy and applying it would discard the real client IP. The rule is enabled by deleting two explicit marker lines rather than by a regex over the surrounding comment, so editing that prose cannot silently disable it. An existing web.config is no longer overwritten. It is the one file on a server that legitimately carries hand-edits, and replacing it reverted them without a word - on a server where the X-Forwarded-For rule had been enabled by hand, that alone would have turned the GE-Enforce IP allowlist off. The installer reports what it found instead. pip now runs with --require-hashes and --only-binary=:all:. Hash-checking is requested explicitly rather than inferred from the lockfile, so shipping an unhashed requirements.txt fails loudly instead of quietly dropping the check. shopdb-admin.ps1 gains a verify command: which bundle this server was installed from, and whether the installed packages still match what shipped. The .iss states its compiler floor. WizardStyle uses the built-in windows11 custom style, which needs Inno Setup 6.6.0; older compilers now fail with that sentence rather than 'WizardStyle is invalid'. |

feat(deploy): add the air-gapped Windows installer
Roughly 2500 lines of tested installer had been living in ~/Downloads and an untracked folder - nothing was under version control. It goes here rather than in a repo of its own because it depends on application internals: the `flask plugin` verbs, site-profile.json, MOUNT_PATH, and the plugin registry. Versioned separately it would drift out of step with the thing it installs. Contents: the read-only preflight, the staged installer (bundled MySQL, runtime, schema, IIS, verify, uninstall), the operator console, the Inno Setup wizard, the bundle builder and the artwork generator. bundle/ and Output/ are ignored - regenerable, and ~220MB. plugins.iss is ignored because build-installer.sh generates it from the staged payload. The artwork IS committed so a Windows build box does not need Python and cairosvg. Verified end to end on Windows Server 2025 against a bundled MySQL 8.0 and an existing MySQL 5.6: fresh install, upgrade with backup and rollback, re-run idempotency, uninstall, and both deployment methods including switching between them. Not yet verified: a hypervisor-level air-gapped run, and any load from a real browser (every HTTP check so far used curl, which sends no Origin header). |
