You are right that this is the one we keep hitting. perpage is capped at 100
server-side, and the cap is applied SILENTLY: a request for 500 returns the
first 100 rows with a 200, so a picker built that way shows the first 100
options and drops the rest with nothing anywhere reporting a problem. The
missing vendor simply is not in the list.
Twelve call sites were still doing it - vendor and business-unit pickers on the
machine and measuring-tool forms, and the type lists behind PCs, machines,
printers, network devices, measuring tools and configuration policies. Each now
either pages through with listAll()/fetchAllPages() or asks for what it can
actually have. vendorsApi and businessunitsApi gained listAll(), which they
lacked, which is why those two sites reached for 500 in the first place.
The gate is the point. tests/test_core/test_perpage_cap.py reads every .vue and
.js source under frontend/src and plugins/*/frontend and fails on any perpage
over 100. It has to read the SOURCE rather than the running app, because the
response is a valid 200 either way - no runtime assertion can see this one.
Verified by planting a perpage: 500 back into MachineForm: the gate names that
exact line.
Separately, /api/auditlogs built its own meta with the pagination fields flat
and a 'pages' key, while every other list returns
meta.pagination.{page,perpage,total,totalpages,hasnext,hasprev}. A client
written against the documented contract found nothing where it looked, on the
one list whose whole purpose is being read by somebody checking what happened.
It uses paginated_response now.
Also carried here, from the previous batch's working tree: Asset.to_dict emits
ownlocationid/ownmapx/ownmapy/ownlevelid alongside the resolved values, and the
PC form binds to those. The merge of an inherited location is right for a reader
and wrong for a form, which could not tell an owned value from a derived one and
wrote the inherited one back as the record's own.
