Buildings and levels for the floor map, and make every identifier searchable 
The map was one picture of one floor. A second floor was added, the blueprint
changed size, and machines moved, so a position now records WHICH DRAWING its
coordinates belong to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

# ShopDB Flask
A modern rewrite of the classic ASP/VBScript ShopDB application using Flask (Python) and Vue 3. This application manages shop floor machines, PCs, printers, applications, and related infrastructure for manufacturing environments.
## Overview
ShopDB tracks and manages:
- **Machines** - CNC equipment, CMMs, inspection systems, etc.
- **PCs** - Shopfloor computers, engineering workstations
- **Printers** - Network printers with Zabbix supply integration
- **Network devices** - Switches, routers, and the subnet browser
- **Measuring tools** - Gage-lab instruments with calibration tracking
- **Applications** - Software deployed across the shop floor, with per-PC install tracking
- **Employees** - Directory, recognition and training notifications
- **Warranties** - Coverage records with Dell warranty lookups
- **USB devices** - CMMC check-in/out tracking
- **Knowledge Base** - Documentation and troubleshooting guides
- **GE-Enforce manifests** - Imaging/software manifest editing and fleet compliance
## Tech Stack
**Backend:**
- Python 3.14 with Flask
- SQLAlchemy ORM
- MySQL 5.7+ database (5.6 works with extra utf8mb4 config; see docs/DEPLOY.md)
- JWT authentication
- Plugin architecture for extensibility
**Frontend:**
- Vue 3 with Composition API
- Vue Router for navigation
- Pinia for state management
- Vite build system

## Naming Conventions
To maintain consistency with the legacy ShopDB database and codebase, the following naming standards apply:
### Database
- **Table names:** Lowercase, single word, no underscores or dashes
- Examples: `assets`, `computers`, `printers`, `businessunits`
- **Column names:** Lowercase, single word, no underscores or dashes
- Examples: `assetid`, `assetnumber`, `hostname`, `isactive`, `createddate`
- **Foreign keys:** Referenced table name + `id`
- Examples: `locationid`, `vendorid`, `modelnumberid`, `computertypeid`
- **Boolean columns:** Prefixed with `is` or `has`
- Examples: `isactive`, `isshopfloor`, `iscolor`, `isdhcp`, `islicenced`
### Code
- **Python variables:** Follow database naming where applicable (lowercase, no underscores for model fields)
- **JavaScript variables:** camelCase for local variables, but match API field names from backend
- **Vue components:** PascalCase for component names
- **CSS classes:** Lowercase with dashes for multi-word classes
### API
- **Endpoints:** Lowercase, plural nouns
- Examples: `/api/machines`, `/api/computers`, `/api/locations`
- **Query parameters:** Lowercase, single word
- Examples: `?locationid=5`, `?isactive=true`, `?assettype=computer`
## Style Guidelines
- No emojis in code, comments, documentation, or UI
- Keep UI functional and professional
- Dark theme is the default
- Consistent table layouts across all list views
## Setup
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.14
- Node.js 18+
- MySQL 5.7+ (5.6 works with extra utf8mb4 config; see docs/DEPLOY.md)
ShopDB Flask uses MySQL as the canonical database. SQLite is used only for the
test suite (`TestingConfig` in `shopdb/config.py` points at an in-memory
SQLite). Do not run dev or production against SQLite.
### Distribution
Source lives here. The Windows installer ships as a release asset rather than a
file in the repository - it is around 240 MB, well past what a repository takes
and well inside what a release asset does. There is no package or image
registry; a site installs from that `.exe` or builds from source.
### Fast path (Docker)
The Docker image builds the Vue frontend and serves it from the API container,
so a container deploy needs no separate Node build step.
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: set SECRET_KEY, JWT_SECRET_KEY, DATABASE_URL, CORS_ORIGINS,
# and the MYSQL_* passwords (see docs/CONFIG.md for every variable).
docker compose up -d --build
# Create the schema and seed the platform data (idempotent, safe to re-run):
docker compose exec api flask db upgrade
docker compose exec api flask seed permissions
docker compose exec api flask seed settings
docker compose exec api flask seed reference-data
```
Then browse to the site and complete the first-run setup wizard at `/setup`
(it creates the first admin account and captures site identity). To create the
admin headlessly instead of using the wizard:
```bash
docker compose exec api flask seed admin --username admin --email admin@facility.example.com
```
### Manual path (venv + Node)
```bash
# Backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials and secrets.
export FLASK_APP=shopdb
flask db upgrade
flask plugin upgrade-all # per-plugin schema (ADR-008)
flask seed permissions
flask seed settings
flask seed reference-data
flask run --port 5001 # MUST be 5001 - the frontend dev server proxies here
# Frontend (separate terminal)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev # dev server on :5173
npm run build # production build into frontend/dist (served by Flask)
```
Complete first-run setup at `/setup`, or run `flask seed admin` for a headless
admin account. The repo ships VS Code config in `.vscode/` (F5 debugs the
backend; a "Dev site" task runs both servers). A fuller day-one walkthrough,
including VS Code and troubleshooting, is the DEVELOPMENT-SETUP page in the
project wiki.
To import a site's legacy data, use the HTTP import surface: an admin API
token plus [docs/IMPORT-API.md](docs/IMPORT-API.md) drive the whole migration
through documented endpoints (`X-Import-Mode` preserves original timestamps).
`scripts/site_imports/wjf/` is the reference site's loader, kept as a worked
example of the whole sequence.
### Which deployment route
| Target | Use |
|---|---|
| **Windows Server + IIS** (how sister sites run) | **[docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS.md](docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS.md)** - one installer `.exe`, offline, no manual IIS work. Day 2: [docs/OPERATE-WINDOWS.md](docs/OPERATE-WINDOWS.md) |
| Linux / Docker, air-gapped | [docs/DEPLOY-AIRGAP.md](docs/DEPLOY-AIRGAP.md) |
| Linux / Docker, connected | [docs/DEPLOY.md](docs/DEPLOY.md) |
For every environment variable and Setting key see [docs/CONFIG.md](docs/CONFIG.md).
### What the Windows installer requires
The installer checks all of this before it changes anything and refuses rather
than half-installing.
| | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows Server | **2019** (build 10.0.17763) | Ships **IIS 10.0**, which is therefore the earliest IIS supported. Server 2016 is also IIS 10.0 but falls below the build floor and is refused. |
| Windows client (test boxes) | **10 22H2** (build 10.0.19045) or 11 | **Pro or higher** - Home has no IIS at all. |
| Architecture | 64-bit | The payload is cp314 win_amd64. |
| IIS Web Server role | installed beforehand | `Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools`. Needs no internet. |
| Free disk | 5 GB | Refused below this. 40 GB is comfortable once uploads and config backups accumulate. |
| Database | bundled MySQL 8.4 LTS, or your own | Bring credentials if you use an existing server. |
The binding constraint is the operating system rather than IIS: the payload is
Python 3.14 plus HttpPlatformHandler and URL Rewrite, and the handler itself runs
on older IIS. An older host is untested rather than known-broken.
If you must deploy onto something older, [docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md](docs/INSTALL-WINDOWS-IIS.md)
is the manual procedure and has no OS gate - it even documents MySQL 5.6, which is
that era of machine. The trade is stated there: it produces a server the
installer will not subsequently upgrade.
## Configuration
Environment variables (`.env`):
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | MySQL connection string |
| `SECRET_KEY` | Flask secret key |
| `JWT_SECRET_KEY` | JWT signing key |
| `JWT_ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES` | Access token TTL (seconds) |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Logging verbosity |
## API Documentation
The REST API follows standard conventions:
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| GET | `/api/machines` | List machines (filterable by type) |
| GET | `/api/machines/:id` | Get machine details |
| POST | `/api/machines` | Create machine |
| PUT | `/api/machines/:id` | Update machine |
| DELETE | `/api/machines/:id` | Soft delete machine |
Each asset plugin exposes the same CRUD pattern on its own prefix
(`/api/computers`, `/api/printers`, `/api/network`, `/api/measuringtools`),
and cross-cutting asset endpoints live under `/api/assets`.
Query parameters for list endpoints:
- `page` - Page number (default: 1)
- `perpage` - Items per page
- `sort` - Sort field
- `dir` - Sort direction (asc/desc)
- `search` - Search term
- `assettype` - Filter by asset type (computer, printer, machine, networkdevice, measuringtool)
## Where to start
[docs/START-HERE.md](docs/START-HERE.md) routes by what you are here to do -
standing up a site, deploying the shop-floor tools, writing a plugin,
integrating with the API, or diagnosing something. On the published mirror the
same page is the wiki's front door.
## Plugin System
ShopDB supports plugins for extending functionality. See `CONTRIBUTING.md` for plugin development guidelines.
The image bundles these plugins; only the ones a site installs are loaded. The
current count and each plugin's version and migration head are in
[docs/PROJECT-MAP.md](docs/PROJECT-MAP.md), which is generated:
- **backups** - Machine configuration backups (NTLARS/DNC, CMM, part marker, UDC) with revision history and diffs
- **computers** - Shopfloor PCs and workstations, collector fleet ingest
- **employees** - Employee directory
- **geenforce** - GE-Enforce imaging/software manifests and fleet compliance
- **machines** - CNC, CMM, and other shop-floor machines
- **measuringtools** - Gage-lab instruments with calibration tracking
- **knowledgebase** - Documentation and troubleshooting guides
- **network** - Network devices and subnets
- **notifications** - Shopfloor notifications and recognition feed
- **printedparts** - 3D-printed part catalogue, kiosk issue tracking and stock alerts
- **printers** - Extended printer management with Zabbix integration
- **slides** - TV/kiosk slideshows
- **tools** - Tech Tools: barcode and QR generation laid out for real label stock
- **usb** - CMMC USB check-in/out tracking
- **warranty** - Warranty records with Dell lookups
## Legacy Migration
This project replicates functionality from the classic ASP/VBScript ShopDB site. Key mappings:
| Legacy | Modern |
|--------|--------|
| ASP/VBScript | Flask/Python |
| Classic ADO | SQLAlchemy |
| Server-side HTML | Vue 3 SPA |
| Session auth | JWT tokens |
