shopdb-flask/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to shopdb-flask are recorded here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning. The product version (__version__) and the plugin-contract version (__contract_version__) are distinct series with independent bump rules; see ADR-007 and ADR-002.

Unreleased

0.8.0 - 2026-08-05

First release to carry the Windows installer. Everything below shipped after v0.7.0 was tagged, and a complete install was exercised end to end on Windows Server 2019 before this release was cut.

Fixed - installer, from a real Server 2019 install

• packaging was imported by the plugin loader but declared nowhere. It reached development and CI only as a dependency of pytest, so the whole suite passed while a virtual environment built from requirements.txt alone - which is exactly what the installer builds - could not import the application at all. tests/test_runtime_dependencies.py now fails on any runtime import that is not a declared dependency.
• IIS returned 500.52 before the application was ever launched. web.config declared <allowedServerVariables> for the X-Forwarded-For rule, and that section ships overrideModeDefault="Deny", so the whole file was rejected. The installer now permits the single variable at server level instead of unlocking the section for every site on the machine, and repairs a web.config an earlier build had made unusable.
• The config unlock ran before the application it unlocks existed, so the scoped form could never succeed on a first install and every install silently fell back to granting handler delegation server-wide.
• The stage 5 smoke test discarded the status code and error page it had already received, reporting "site did not return 200" for a fault IIS had named. It now records both, plus the tail of the application log.
• Database dumps were readable by every authenticated user: a directory created under ProgramData inherits Users:RX, and the owner-only ACL was applied only when the installer itself created it.
• The uninstaller ran the 32-bit PowerShell, which cannot see IIS, so the site, pool and application survived a "successful" uninstall pointing at a deleted directory.
• Uninstall matched applications by alias alone and would remove an unrelated application of the same name under another site.
• Wizard input reached a command line unchecked: unvalidated ports, a drive-root path that escaped its own quote, and a password written as ANSI but read back as UTF-8, which reported a correct non-ASCII password as wrong.
• Plugin deregistration could never succeed - it omitted --yes against a command that prompts - while the plugin directory was deleted regardless.
• Preflight rows were drawn past the bottom of the panel and silently vanished; the failures loop had no cap at all.

Changed - installer behaviour

• "Is this a re-run of my install?" is answered from a durable install record rather than inferred from the state of the machine. Nothing on a server says who created its database tables, so a retry after a failed first install was taken for an upgrade of a working system: it demanded a mandatory backup of a database its own failed attempt had written, then refused to prune tables it had created minutes earlier. During unfinished first provisioning the backup is advisory and prune may force; on an established install both are unchanged.
• The installer offers every bundled plugin, so one build serves any site instead of one build per plugin profile.

Added - operator documentation and diagnostics

• docs/UPDATES-WINDOWS.md - what operators should expect from future updates, bug fixes and security releases, including downtime, what is preserved, and the effect on other sites sharing the same IIS server.
• docs/RELEASING-WINDOWS.md - how to build and release, and the two known gaps.
• deploy/windows/shopdb-diagnose.py - collects what IIS answers, the config lock state, the application logs and the ACLs in one pass, scrubbing secrets before writing anything.

Added - the installer itself

• Air-gapped Windows installer (deploy/windows/installer/). One .exe per site, built from that site's plugin profile, containing Python, the wheels, the SPA, the IIS modules and optionally MySQL. Operator docs: docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS.md and docs/OPERATE-WINDOWS.md, both shipped onto the server. docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md and docs/DEPLOY-WINDOWS-IIS.md are now reference-only, for hand-built servers.
• bundle-lock.json: an exact sha256 + size record of the installer's third-party payload (wheels, Python installer, IIS MSIs). Verified as set equality by both builders and again on the server before anything runs; there is no install-time override. Regenerate with refresh-bundle-lock.ps1.
• CycloneDX SBOM (sbom.cdx.json) generated on every build from requirements.txt and package-lock.json, covering both ecosystems, staged into the application tree so an air-gapped server can answer "do we carry this component" locally: shopdb-admin.ps1 verify -Path <name>.
• shopdb-admin.ps1, the operator console: status, start/stop/restart, logs, health check, backup, plugins, verify. check -Json emits secret-free structured state for pasting into a support ticket or an AI assistant.
• build-installer.ps1, the whole build natively on Windows, so a work PC needs no Bash. Shares scripts/resolve_plugin_closure.py with build-site.sh.
• URL Rewrite is bundled and the wizard asks where client IPs come from (-ClientIpSource direct|proxy). Without the rule IIS sends no X-Forwarded-For at all and every client reads as 127.0.0.1.

Changed

• requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt are compiled --universal --generate-hashes. Installs run under pip --require-hashes, so a wheel whose sha256 is not listed is refused. The dev lockfile is constrained to the production pins; the two had drifted.
• Python 3.14 across the Dockerfile, CI, web.config and the docs, which previously declared four different versions.
• The naming/style gate covers Markdown, JSON and YAML, not just code.

Fixed

• plugins/employees imported shopdb.core.models directly, failing the contract-surface test on main since the dashboard employee-name resolver landed.
• scripts/build-site.sh copied all of deploy/ into its own output directory, which recursed when the output was staged inside it - the documented Windows build could not complete.
• Plugin baseline migrations inherited the MySQL server's default charset: the utf8mb4 compiler hook lived in migrations/env.py and so covered the core chain only. It is now shopdb/utils/mysql_charset.py, imported by both. flask db-utils preflight reports the database's default charset.

Added

• Configurable site timezone: a site_timezone site setting (default America/New_York, public-readable), editable in Settings > Site > Localization. Notification start/end times are entered and displayed in this zone, and daily-reset notification expiry is computed in it. A shared frontend/src/utils/datetime.js (Intl-based, DST-safe) does the conversion.

Changed

• Asset detail pages (machines, PCs, printers, network devices, measuring tools) now share one canonical card skeleton: Identity -> type-specific -> status -> Location & Organization -> domain -> Custom Fields -> Warranty -> Relationships -> Notes -> audit footer. The location card reads "Location & Organization" on every page. The network device page was rebuilt into the family (its "Asset Information" folded into Identity, "Record Info" converted to the standard audit footer). Printer Notes moved out of mid-page to second-to-last and the printer gained an audit footer. Template reordering only; no data or API changes.

Fixed

• Notification start/end times were off by the timezone offset (a 2:34 PM entry displayed as 6:34 PM). Times are now stored UTC and shown/entered in the site timezone; the calendar keys all-day events off the site-local day.
• Kiosk displays showed a white screen on login: a legacy 32-bit kiosk installer's autostart kept relaunching Edge at a now-dead URL. The install's HKLM Run value was WOW64-redirected into SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\...\Run and survived earlier cleanup. The gea-shopfloor-display dispatcher now purges the legacy autostarts every enforce cycle across both registry views, all user hives, Run/RunOnce/policy-Run, and every Startup folder.
• List pages keep the current page (and search term) in the URL query, so paging to page 9, opening an item, and hitting browser Back returns to page 9 instead of resetting to page 1. Applies to all 18 list views via a shared useListQuery composable; page 1 with no search stays a bare path.
• PC detail Installed Applications no longer 500s and silently disappears on real PCs (ComputerInstalledApp had no to_dict); the section renders app name, version, and description again.
• Employee detail skips its USB panels when the usb plugin is disabled (no more 404 console noise).
• Shopfloor kiosk header text is readable (light on the dark navy header).

Added (continued)

• Collector-driven PC -> printer relationships. The computers collector schema gained optional defaultprinter (string) and printers (array of strings) fields carrying Win32_Printer identifiers. On ingest each identifier resolves to a printer asset (by windows name / share / hostname / asset number-name or a communications IP) and the PC is linked to it: the default via a defaultprinter relationship, the rest via connectedto. The links render in the shared Relationships card on both the PC and printer detail pages. The sync is idempotent and archives collector-created links to printers no longer reported (tagged assetrelationships.label = 'collector:printers', so manually-created links are never touched); unresolved identifiers become response warnings, never failures. The collector response carries printerlinkcount and a printerlinks list. See docs/COLLECTOR-INTEGRATION.md.
• Searchable custom fields. Each custom-field definition gained a searchable flag (Settings > Custom Fields). When on, that field's stored values are matched by global search and a hit routes to the owning asset's detail page. The asset's search_<type>_enabled domain toggle still applies, and matches dedupe against built-in-field asset hits so an asset appears once. Inactive or non-searchable fields are never matched.
• Single-label sheet-position printing. The single asset-label page (/print/asset-label/:assettype/:id) gained an Output control that toggles between the standalone label (unchanged default) and placing that one label at a chosen cell (1-6, via a 2x3 grid picker) of a ULINE 6-up sheet, leaving the other five cells blank. This prints a single label onto the correct physical spot of a partially-used sheet instead of wasting a fresh sheet, mirroring the legacy shopdb behavior and complementing the batch page's start-cell offset. The ULINE 6-up cell layout and dimensions are replicated from AssetLabelBatch.vue (left untouched); encode resolution stays shared via assetLabel.js.

0.7.0 - 2026-07-12

Added

• Email sending. A stdlib-only mail service (shopdb/utils/mailer.py; smtplib/ssl/email) reads the existing email SMTP settings settings-first with an SMTP_* env fallback, sends multipart HTML+text, and is a graceful no-op (logs a warning, returns False) when email is disabled or the host is unset. The SMTP password is never logged. Three flows use it: (1) New-user welcome + forced first-login password change. Admin-created users (POST /api/users) are flagged mustchangepassword (new users column, migration 7d23_user_mustchangepassword, default false) and sent a best-effort welcome email with the facility name, username, temporary password, and sign-in link; the account is created even if mail fails (response carries a warning). Login returns mustchangepassword; the frontend forces the user through a new /change-password view (POST /api/auth/change-password, jwt-guarded) before the app, and changing the password clears the flag and resets lockout counters. A self-service "Change password" entry is also available from the user menu. (2) Test email. POST /api/settings/test-email (settings.edit) sends a probe and surfaces any SMTP error with the password scrubbed; wires up the Email / SMTP settings page "Send Test Email" button. (3) On-demand alert/report delivery. POST /api/reports/email (reports.export) mails {subject, columns, rows} as an HTML table to a supplied recipient or the site alert_recipients; an "Email report" button on the Warranty and Toner report pages posts the loaded rows. There is no scheduler: automation is an external cron hitting the endpoint with a scoped API token (PAT). Documented in docs/CONFIG.md.

• Shared asset label/code generator: a single /print/asset-label/<assettype>/<id> page (public, like the other /print/* routes) that any asset detail page opens via a "Print Label" button (machines, computers, printers, network devices, measuring tools). A no-print controls panel toggles the layout (card badge vs plain code-only), the code type (QR vs CODE128 barcode), and what the code encodes: the asset page link, asset number, serial number, a per-type custom target template, or - for measuring tools by default - the tool's inspection location code so every tool at one operation shares one code (e.g. 0615). QR codes reuse the shared logo-overlay renderer. New printing settings seed and surface on the Printing & Labels settings page: qr_target_machine, qr_target_computer, qr_target_network_device, qr_target_measuring_tool; label_default_style (default card) and label_default_codetype (default qr); and a per-asset-type default for what the code encodes, label_default_encodes_<type> (machines default to their machine number, measuring tools to their inspection location code, the rest to a page link), all overridable on the label page itself. When the chosen field has no value (e.g. serial number on an asset with none), the label states so instead of rendering an empty code. Asset payloads now carry a derived locationcode (leading token of the resolved own/inherited location name).

• Batch label sheets: a "Print Labels" button on each asset list page opens /print/asset-label-batch/<assettype>, a multi-select sheet that lays the chosen assets onto ULINE label pages (6-up 3 in x 3 in, or a dense 72-up mini-label format), with a start-cell offset to reuse partial sheets. Shares the same code-type and encode settings/defaults as the single label, so a batch of measuring tools encodes each tool's inspection location code just like the single label does. Restores the ULINE batch printing the legacy shopdb had, generalized across all asset types.

• Support-team contact UX: the settings Support Teams page now manages each team's contacts in a per-team "Contacts (N)" modal (name, SSO, active, plus Add/Edit/Delete) instead of an inline row expander, and the application detail Support card renders Email (mailto:) and Microsoft Teams chat (teams.microsoft.com/l/chat) action buttons for every contact that has an SSO. Both link targets derive as sso@<domain> from a new site setting contact_email_domain (default geaerospace.com; blank hides the buttons), surfaced in Site & Facility settings under Naming & Patterns and read on the frontend via getContactEmailDomain().

• Plugin get_permissions hook (contract 0.10.0) so a plugin declares the RBAC permissions its own routes enforce, instead of core accumulating every plugin's permissions in Permission.PERMISSIONS (plugin-is-the-product). The core catalog (Permission.CORE_PERMISSIONS) now holds only genuinely core sets (assets, applications, reports, settings, users, audit, apitokens, collector); the 36 permissions for machines, computers, printers, network, knowledgebase, notifications, usb, warranty, and measuringtools moved into each owning plugin's hook. New core helper full_permission_catalog() merges core plus every ENABLED plugin's permissions and backs all three consumers: flask seed permissions, the role grid (GET /api/users/permissions), and API-token scope validation (ApiToken.unknown_scope_names). Plugin install and enable seed the plugin's own permissions idempotently. A disabled plugin drops out of the catalog (no new scope grants or role assignments), but its existing Permission rows and role links persist so current roles keep working. Docs: docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md new section, docs/PLUGIN-GUIDE.md permissions walkthrough rewritten to the hook, docs/PLUGIN-QUICKSTART.md hooks table row.

• Personal API tokens (PATs) so scripts and integrations authenticate without the hourly-expiring login JWT (immediate consumer: long legacy-import runs that die when the JWT expires mid-run). New core apitokens table + migration 7d21_apitokens (stores only the sha256 hash of each secret; the full secret shopdb_pat_<40 hex> is shown ONCE at creation). New core blueprint /api/apitokens (list own / admin ?all=true; create; rename or deactivate; revoke). A Bearer shopdb_pat_... header is recognized before any JWT decode by a before_request shim that mints a request-scoped JWT for the token's owner, so the entire existing auth+authz stack (jwt_required, require_permission, require_role, import mode, current_user) authenticates the PAT as its owner with zero decorator changes; an invalid, revoked, or expired PAT gets a clean 401. lastusedat is stamped on use (throttled to at most one write per 60s). Any authenticated user manages their own tokens; admins may list or revoke anyone's. New Settings > API Tokens page (ApiTokensList.vue) with a create modal that reveals the secret once (copy button) and an admin All Tokens section. Docs: docs/IMPORT-API.md and docs/CONFIG.md updated to recommend a PAT for imports. Core feature; no plugin-contract change.

• Optional permission scopes on personal API tokens. A token MAY carry a scopes list (permission names, migration 7d22_apitokens_scopes adds the nullable apitokens.scopes JSON column); NULL keeps the original behavior (acts as its owner). A scoped token grants ONLY the listed permissions, intersected with what the owner actually holds at use time, and SUSPENDS the admin-role bypass, so a scoped token minted by an admin is genuinely limited: it is denied on role-gated (require_role) endpoints and gets no import mode. The shim mints the request JWT with a patscopes claim that require_permission, require_role, and import_mode_active read; normal login JWTs carry no such claim and are unaffected (zero regression). Scopes are validated at write time against the token OWNER's permissions (the scope ceiling - a token can never grant more than its owner holds; when an admin edits another user's token the ceiling is that owner's permissions), rejecting unknown or unheld names 400. Minting/managing tokens now requires the new apitokens.create permission (category apitokens; admins hold it by default, grantable via the roles UI) rather than being open to any authenticated user. The Settings > API Tokens create/edit modals gain a "Restrict permissions" section (a category-grouped checkbox grid limited to the permissions the creator holds) and the token lists show a full-access / N-permissions access chip.

• Managed collector service tokens: the collector ingest API (/api/collector/<plugin> + the legacy /pc /apps /heartbeat /bulk /status endpoints) now ALSO accepts a managed API token scoped to the new collector.ingest permission (category collector), on top of the existing COLLECTOR_API_KEY[_<PLUGIN>] env keys (which stay supported as a bootstrap/legacy fallback - nothing breaks). The token may be presented in X-API-Key (as GE-Enforce sends today) OR as an Authorization: Bearer token; both transports validate the PAT the same way the login shim does (hash lookup, active, unexpired, active owner) via a shared resolve_api_token helper refactored out of apitoken_auth.py, require collector.ingest in the token's scope list AND that the owner holds it, and stamp lastusedat (same 60s throttle). A token scoped to ONLY collector.ingest is a collector service token: it authorizes the collector API and NOTHING else - the existing scoped-token machinery denies it on every permission- and role-gated route and on import mode, so a leaked collector token cannot touch the regular API. Recommended flow (documented): an admin mints the scoped token (the scope suspends the admin bypass, containing it); rotate by minting a new one, deploying via site-config.json, watching lastusedat, then revoking the old. The Settings > API Tokens create modal gains a "Collector service token" quick-preset (pre-selects only collector.ingest). Docs: docs/COLLECTOR-INTEGRATION.md (new "Managed collector tokens" section) and docs/CONFIG.md. Core feature; no plugin-contract change.

• Vendor-model photos on asset detail heroes: computers and printers now surface the linked model's imageurl in their extension payloads (the field machines already exposed), and the machine, PC, printer, network device, and measuring tool detail pages render the photo in the hero card when present (hidden cleanly when absent). Network devices and measuring tools have no model link yet, so their heroes stay photo-less until one is added.

• Dualpath "single machine" site toggle (dualpath_single_machine, default on). A Dualpath relationship pair is one physical dual-bay machine (single controller, bay-selector switch); when on, the machines list, dashboard and machines-by-type counts, and the floor map collapse each pair to one entry (the lower natural-sort assetnumber is PRIMARY; the SECONDARY bay is hidden) and show a combined 2007 / 2008 label. The data model is unchanged (both bay records always exist); detail pages stay per-bay and always show a sibling-bay banner regardless of the toggle. Contract surface (plugin contract bumped 0.8.0 -> 0.9.0, additive): new shopdb.api helpers resolve_dualpath_pairs and dualpath_single_machine_enabled, consumed by the machines plugin to collapse pairs contract-purely.

• Relationship propagation, wired and data-driven: relationship types declare propagation-through pairs (relationshiptypepropagations M:N, replacing the never-consumed single column); creating a controls link on one Dualpath bay auto-creates it on the partner bay, and flask relationships propagate backfills existing data.

• Employee photos, mode-aware: self-hosted directory employees support upload/replace/delete (admin), served publicly for kiosk cards; external directory mode passes the HR-supplied picture URL through read-only. One resolver feeds the shopfloor recognition/recert cards and the employee detail hero in either mode.

• Vendor-model photo management. New admin-gated core endpoints POST /api/models/<modelid>/image (multipart file, png/jpg/jpeg/gif/webp/svg, one image per model, replace semantics) and DELETE /api/models/<modelid>/image, plus the public GET /api/models/image/<filename> serve route. Uploads land in instance/modelimages/ (survives upgrades, backed up with the rest of instance/) and set models.imageurl to the served URL; the manual Image URL field still accepts external URLs and the shipped /images/models/* assets (upload is additive). Delete only removes files we own under the instance dir. The Models settings page grows a thumbnail, Upload/Replace, and Remove controls in the edit modal. Asset hero images (e.g. the machine badge) read imageurl unchanged, so uploaded photos render with no consumer changes.

• Application support teams with contacts, replacing the legacy supportteams/appowners pair. New core supportteamcontacts table (multiple named contacts per team, ordered by sortorder); supportteams keeps teamname (now unique) and teamurl (a ServiceNow group deep link) and sheds the single-owner appownerid FK. New core blueprint at /api/supportteams (team + nested contact CRUD, admin-gated; ?teamname exact-match lookup for import; delete a team 409s while any application still references it). Migration 7d18_supportteamcontacts migrates each legacy team's app owner into one contact. Application payloads now flatten supportteamname, teamurl, and the team's active contacts; a Support card on the application detail page and a new settings/supportteams management page render them.

• Import mode: a complete, idempotent HTTP migration surface so a migration script can import the classic ASP shopdb through the API alone (no direct DB writes).

  • Contract surface (plugin contract bumped 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0, additive): new shopdb.api helpers apply_import_timestamps, import_mode_active, parse_import_datetime in shopdb/utils/import_mode.py. When the caller is an admin AND sends header X-Import-Mode: true, create/update endpoints accept optional createddate / modifieddate (ISO or legacy YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, naive-UTC) and preserve them instead of stamping now. Non-admin or missing header: the fields are ignored exactly as before. Wired into every timestamped import target: assets (all five type plugins), vendors, models, modeltypes, businessunits, locations, operating systems, applications, knowledge base, USB devices, and asset relationships.
  • Natural-key exact-match lookup filters for the documented lookup-then-upsert idempotency recipe: assetnumber on all five asset plugin list endpoints; vendor, modelnumber, modeltype, businessunit, locationname, osname/osversion, appname, knowledge base linkurl/shortdescription, warranty servicetag/vendor, and notification ticketnumber.
  • Backdated event history: in import mode the selfhosted USB checkout/checkin endpoints accept optional checkouttime / checkintime overrides so migrated usbcheckouts rows keep their real event times.
  • New operator manual docs/IMPORT-API.md grounded in the real prodscratch legacy schema: order of operations, a full table-by-table mapping, honest no-target list with dispositions, a worked idempotent Python importer, and row-count parity checks.

Changed

• System Settings is no longer one tabbed page. The inner tab bar is gone and each section is its own routed settings page reached through the settings rail: ServiceNow, Zabbix Supplies, Dell Warranty, and Collector PC Types (the former Integrations dumping ground, now split three-plus ways), plus Branding, Floor Map, Printing & Labels, Email / SMTP, Authentication, Audit & Logging, Asset Identifiers, and Global Search. The rail regroups these under Site & Facility, Integrations, Communication, Search & Identity, and Access & Security. Shared load/save/upload plumbing moved into a useSystemSettings composable so the pages stay thin. Old bookmarks keep working: /settings/system and every /settings/system?tab=<key> redirect to the matching new page.

Fixed

• Audit log: hovering a user's SSO now shows their full name (best-effort, resolved from the employee directory in either mode).
• Refreshed the internal status docs to match the code (project active state, CONTRACT-STABILITY.md and README plugin list at contract 0.10.0), corrected the get_asset_panels endpoint path in the hook docstring, and removed leftover debug console.log lines.
• Measuring tools wired into the remaining cross-cutting surfaces an audit found them missing from: generic asset serialization (typedata + pluginid, which also fixes relationship-card links to tools), map subtype filtering/coloring and the MapEditor filter, dashboard totals, warranty asset links (via a new by-asset detail route), and the two ADR-010 hook declarations (presentation route token corrected; the calibration map-overlay endpoint now actually exists). The login avatar also resolves through the employee-photo helper, so self-hosted uploads show.
• Measuring tools are now wired into the asset-identifier matrix and global search. The Settings identifier matrix gains a Measuring Tool column and the gauge-lab and maintenance reference inputs/rows on the measuring-tool form and detail pages honor those per-type toggles (a maintenance-reference field was added, matching the other asset types). Global search gains a Measuring Tools domain toggle and filter chip, routes measuring-tool hits to /measuringtools/<id> (previously the generic /assets/<id> fallback), and matches on gaugelabreference so a gage-tag lookup resolves the tool.
• Site & Facility settings page renders booleans as toggles and the directory-mode settings as dropdowns, with labels and help text for every field (no more raw keys or type-true/false boxes).
• System Settings tabs follow the URL: clicking a settings-rail link that only changes the ?tab= query (Branding, Floor Map) now switches the right panel, tab clicks update the URL, and browser back/forward restore tabs.
• Following a relationship link between two assets of the same type now loads the destination page instead of stale content (router-view keyed on path; query-only URL changes still avoid a remount).
• Asset relationships card no longer lists a symmetric peer twice. Relationship types gain relationshiptypes.isdirectional (migration 7d19_relationshiptype_directional; seeded false for the connection-like types Dualpath, connectedto, Cluster Member, Serial Cable, Direct Ethernet, USB, WiFi, true for controls/Controlled By/Backup For/Master-Slave/partof/ defaultprinter). The card now collapses every stored direction row of a symmetric type into one direction-blind "Connected" entry per peer (deleting it removes all collapsed rows), while directional types drop the Outgoing/Incoming headers for inline Type -> peer / <- Type from peer phrasing. The type CRUD and the per-asset relationships endpoint carry isdirectional; the Relationship Types settings page gains a Directional toggle.

0.6.0 - 2026-07-11

Added

• measuringtools plugin (ADR-005): gage-lab instruments as Asset extensions with type lookup (color-coded), calibration tracking (derived overdue/due-soon/current status), calibration report, and full frontend. Built as the framework exemplar; docs/PLUGIN-GUIDE.md walks through its construction step by step as the plugin-system tutorial.
• CSV export on the Warranty and Toner report pages; per-report filter controls (business unit, asset type, location, application, limit) on the inline core reports; report open-state is URL-backed and deep-linkable.
• Per-plugin Alembic migration chains (ADR-008): every bundled plugin now carries its own chain with a stamp-only anchor; new plugin schema changes land in plugins/<name>/migrations/, never the core chain. Deploys run flask plugin upgrade-all after flask db upgrade.
• Frontend plugin route gating (ADR-009): a disabled backend plugin's pages redirect to the dashboard; new public GET /api/plugins/enabled.
• get_reports() plugin hook (plugin contract 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0): plugins contribute their own report cards; warranty and toner cards moved off the hardcoded frontend list.
• Reports hub grouped by category with a search filter.
• Configurable QR label targets: qr_target_printer / qr_target_usb settings (blank = the asset's own page, else a URL template with placeholders) and a usb_label_style barcode/QR toggle for USB mini-labels. New Settings > Printing & Labels section.
• Site palette theming: optional brand_primary_dark_color, brand_accent_color, brand_sidebar_color settings applied at bootstrap.
• Collector integration guide rewrite: header-only auth reference and a paste-ready GE-Enforce PowerShell reporting function.

Changed

• Equipment -> machines rename (backend). The equipment plugin is now the machines plugin: /api/equipment -> /api/machines, tables equipment/equipmenttypes -> machines/machinetypes (columns equipmentid -> machineid, equipmenttypeid -> machinetypeid, equipmenttype -> machinetype), permissions equipment.* -> machines.*, assettype value equipment -> machine. The legacy core machinetypes lookup (it types the vendor MODELS catalog, not machine instances) is renamed to modeltypes (/api/machinetypes -> /api/modeltypes, models.machinetypeid -> models.modeltypeid) to free the name. Data flips migrate assettypes, auditlog entitytype, settings keys (identifier_*_equipment_enabled -> identifier_*_machine_enabled, search_equipment_enabled -> search_machine_enabled), and permission rows in place; plugins.json registry entries carry over automatically. Upgrade: run flask db upgrade then flask plugin upgrade-all.

• Inter (variable) replaces Roboto, bundled locally - no Google Fonts fetch, so air-gapped installs render correctly. Tables use tabular numerals.

• ServiceNow defaults point at the current geaerospaceqa.service-now.com global search (search, incident, and change links).

Fixed

• USB frontend remapped to the actual API shape (device_id / device_desc): device list, detail, form, label batch, and the employee profile's checked-out/history panels were all reading dead legacy fields.
• External-mode GET /api/usb/checkouts/active now honors the badge filter.
• Warranties list page no longer demands login (matches every other list page; reads were already public).
• Removed the dead legacy Warranty Status report (always-zero buckets from a retired column); the warranty plugin's report is the real one.
• Pruned dead usbApi client methods that had no backend routes.

0.5.0 - 2026-07-10

First release cut with a version, tag, changelog, and CI. Focused on letting other GE Aerospace sites stand up their own self-hosted instance (single-tenant per ADR-004).

Added

• First-run setup wizard (/setup): creates the initial superadmin in-app, configures each plugin (create tables here vs connect your own database), uploads light/dark floor-map blueprints, and seeds starter reference data.
• Self-hosted employee directory and USB plugins: in-app management plus CSV import, no external database required. Both ship default-disabled with an enable-time provisioning note.
• Dell warranty plugin: real Dell provider, bulk warranty sync, add-warranty from asset pages, PC hero warranty badge, disk-cached Dell API token.
• Custom fields, and a two-pane settings shell with tabbed, searchable System Settings and Settings index pages.
• Dashboard defaults (visitor-IP to business-unit mapping) for kiosk displays; printer installer endpoint (data plus floor-map positions).
• Global toast notifications replacing alert() calls.
• Multi-stage Docker build that compiles the Vue frontend and ships frontend/dist, which Flask serves.
• Documentation overhaul: new CONFIG, UPGRADE, and BACKUP-RESTORE guides; reconciled README, DEPLOY, status docs, and ROADMAP.
• ADR-007 (product versioning and releases), CHANGELOG, and best-effort Gitea Actions CI (backend tests, naming/style gate, frontend build).

Changed

• Plugin contract (__contract_version__) settled at 0.5.0: full plugin import surface exposed via shopdb.api, dead search hook removed, and the dashboard-widgets hook wired to a real consumer.
• Role-based access control now enforced on write routes, including admin-only guards on dashboard-defaults writes.
• Branding, ServiceNow integration, employee-ID pattern, printer hostname template, and floor-plan blueprints are settings-driven and per-site configurable, with GE defaults preserved as shipped fallbacks (branding and floor-plan configurability landed in this release; some consumer wiring continues under Unreleased).

Security

• Dashboard-defaults writes now require admin authorization instead of any authenticated user.
• Collector error responses no longer leak exception detail; failures are logged server-side with generic client-facing messages.
• Login rate limiting added (IP-based fixed window) on top of the existing account lockout.

BREAKING

• Collector API key must now be sent in the X-API-Key header. The api-key-in-querystring fallback has been removed. Update any collector integration that passed the key as a query parameter. See docs/COLLECTOR-INTEGRATION.md.
