cproudlock 7d7caba56b Let a maintenance script find the database the site actually uses
Running `python scripts/export_catalog.py` on a deployed site died with
1045 "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'", naming a user that site
does not have.

Nothing loads .env for a plain script run. wsgi.py calls load_dotenv() for the
served app and the flask CLI loads .env for itself, so both reach the real
database; a bare `python scripts/...` gets neither. DATABASE_URL then stays
unset, FLASK_ENV defaults to development, and config.py falls back to a
hardcoded root@localhost URL.

The read-only failure above is the harmless version. Six of these seven
scripts WRITE - backfill, reclassify, retype, collapse, refile, import - and
on any box where those fallback root credentials happen to resolve, they would
have silently rewritten the wrong database with no error at all. That is also
why this survived: the dev .env points at root, so the fallback matched what
the developer expected and nothing ever looked wrong here.

All seven now load .env from the repo root, resolved from __file__ rather than
the working directory, since these are run by hand during a deployment and
rarely from the repo root.

tests/test_maintenance_scripts.py pins it for any future script: every script
that calls create_app must call load_dotenv, before create_app rather than
after it, and with an explicit path rather than a cwd-relative search.

"""Export the reference CATALOG from a live instance to a portable JSON file.
A new site starts with almost nothing: `flask seed reference-data` writes a
dozen generic model types and no vendors or models at all. So the first thing
anyone does at a new facility is retype a vendor and model list that another
facility already spent a year building. This lets that catalog travel.
CATALOG ONLY. Vendors, models and the type vocabularies are descriptions of
equipment that exists in the world, and are the same at every site. Assets,
locations, employees, business units and anything with a serial number are that
site's own records and are deliberately NOT exported - nobody wants West
Jefferson's machines appearing at another plant.
Vendor contact details are also skipped: a rep's name and phone number belong to
whoever has the relationship, not to the catalog.
