Turning "Shared key allowed" off refused the key on the endpoints plugin and left four core collector routes open to it. Anything still holding the old key could keep rewriting logged-in user, last boot time, serial number and installed app inventory for ANY hostname, while the admin believed the shared key was off. Data integrity only - no command execution, no credential issuance - but it is a hole in a boundary the product advertises as closed. It cannot simply be closed. Both GE-Enforce reporters still authenticate with that key, so refusing it fleet-wide would stop asset and printer reporting everywhere, and on an air-gapped site mid-migration that is the wrong order of operations. collector.legacysharedkeyrefused therefore DEFAULTS TO TODAY'S BEHAVIOUR, and its description names exactly what turning it on breaks and when it should be turned on: after the reporters move to per-PC credentials, not before. A legacy route used with the shared key now logs a warning, so a site can find out who still depends on the key before flipping anything. On a stock Windows deployment that warning may name the proxy rather than the caller; the token prefix in the same line is the identifier to go by. The switch is seeded with the core defaults and has a control on the authentication settings page. Undeclared, it was a row that did not exist, and this UI has no generic key/value editor, so seeding alone would have rendered nothing for an operator to click. Two contract declarations corrected while in here: notifications.alertscope was declared db.JSON in the model while the migration that creates it ships TEXT, and those migrations state the constraint in their own docstrings: no JSON columns. The model now matches the shipped column rather than the schema being bent to the model. usb and printedparts both import a name that arrived in contract 0.35.0 while declaring core_version floors of 0.1.0 and 0.16.0, so the loader would have accepted them on a core that cannot satisfy them - an ImportError at blueprint registration instead of a refusal with a reason. Both floors now say what the plugin actually needs.
Printedparts plugin
3D-printed parts inventory + kiosk checkout
This plugin was generated by flask plugin new printedparts. It satisfies the framework contract out of the box. Replace the example model and routes with your domain.

Common edits
| You want to... | Do this |
|---|---|
| Add a hook (search, navigation, dashboard widget) | Override the method in PrintedpartsPlugin. See the PLUGIN-HOOKS wiki page. |
| Accept external collector data | Override get_collector_schema() to return a JSON Schema. See ADR-006. |
| Add another model | Create models/<other>.py, export it in models/__init__.py, return it in get_models(). |
| Add a CLI command | Override get_cli_commands() returning a list of Click commands. |
Frontend
Vue components for this plugin live under frontend/src/views/printedparts/ (per project convention). Backend scaffolding does not generate frontend yet; copy from an existing plugin's view files (e.g., frontend/src/views/network/) as a starting point.
Install and run
flask plugin install printedparts
flask db migrate -m "Add printedparts plugin tables"
flask db upgrade
pytest plugins/printedparts/tests/

Why the kiosk take endpoint is unauthenticated
POST /api/printedparts/kiosk/take is the product's first open WRITE (every
other kiosk endpoint is a read). Accepted deliberately, against the criteria
in docs/proposals/printedparts-plugin.md:
- Decrement-only: it can reduce stock of an active item, nothing else.
- Fully attributed: it refuses to act without a badge that resolves under the site policy; every action lands in the ledger with SSO + name + time.
- Bounded blast radius: worst case is stock counts driven low - visible in the ledger and reversible with an adjust.
- Physically rate-limited: it serves a touch screen on the shop floor; nothing enumerable, nothing worth scraping.
Any future open-write endpoint must clear the same bar.
