Ports the corporate-GitHub wilm branch onto main, keeping the two branches
separate. Thirteen upstream commits arrive with their authorship intact; the
review fixes and the portability work below are on top.
What arrives:
endpoints plugin - a ShopDB agent reporting endpoint state, telemetry,
services and interfaces, with a command channel the agent
long-polls. Ingest stays on the generic collector route
(ADR-006); the agent key is a UI-managed single-scope
token whose revocation is an instant kill switch.
computers policies - Configuration and Business Policies (RMM-style), scope
trees validated at write time, actions checked against
the endpoints command allowlist. Feature-gated: every
route 404s while the setting is off, so enabling it can
never half-expose the surface.
asset CSV import - templates, a collector script carrying the site path, and
a validate-then-commit import. A plugin can own a virtual
column plus a post-write row hook, which is how a PC's
machine number becomes a controls link without a
hand-built relationships sheet.
agent/ - the Windows agent and its installer.
Contract 0.21.0 -> 0.24.0, additive throughout: register_import_hook (0.22),
mint/list/revoke_service_token (0.23), collector_authorized (0.24). The stability
table had no rows for any of them and now does.
MySQL 5.6 portability. The branch stored three policy columns as sa.JSON, the
only JSON columns in the product, and 5.6 has no JSON type: the migration failed
with a bare syntax error near the word JSON. They are TEXT now, through a
JSONText type decorator, so all seventeen call sites still read and write dicts.
The convention elsewhere is already TEXT (guides.blocksjson,
geenforce.manifestjson).
Review fixes carried on top:
- six policy GETs were jwt_required(optional=True), which authenticates a
caller without checking anything; they require computers.view now, and six
redundant jwt_required decorators are gone
- the agent installer took a default BaseUrl and CollectorKey, so a mistyped
run silently pointed an endpoint at the wrong instance; both are mandatory
and a non-https BaseUrl throws unless -AllowInsecureHttp is passed
- a committing CSV import wrote no audit row
Documentation: the 34 new routes are described in docs/api-inventory.json, which
is hand-maintained on purpose, and the generated spec now covers 331 paths and
477 operations across 22 surfaces. DEVELOPMENT-SETUP's 1071 troubleshooting row
said "use MySQL 8 for dev" and now gives the actual fix, including the trap that
5.6 downgrades ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC to Compact with a warning instead of an error.
Full suite 2123 passed, vitest 260 passed, all seventeen plugin chains migrate
clean on MySQL 5.6 and the naming, docs, parity and read-surface gates are green.
WJ classic-ASP import loader (reference implementation)
This is site-specific reference glue, not product code. It maps West
Jefferson's classic-ASP shopdb / cmmc_usb / wjf_employees schema onto the
maintained, schema-agnostic import contract in the IMPORT-API wiki page.
Every adopting site has its own source database. Nobody else runs this loader. Instead, copy the pattern:
- Point the harness at your source DB(s) (edit
harness.Source). - Write per-entity stages that read your tables and POST to the same
the IMPORT-API wiki page endpoints with
Authorization: Bearer <admin PAT>andX-Import-Mode: true. - Persist legacy-id -> new-id crosswalks (see
harness.IdMap) so later stages resolve foreign keys and a crashed run resumes.
The import API is the stable contract; loaders are per-site. The mapping itself is the bulk of the work: enumerate the source tables against this contract and write one stage per entity (this loader is the worked example).
Running (against a THROWAWAY import database)
DATABASE_URL='mysql+pymysql://root:PW@127.0.0.1:3306/shopdb_flask_import?charset=utf8mb4' \
venv/bin/python -m scripts.site_imports.wjf.run --stages reference,employees
Prereqs: a fresh target DB built with flask db upgrade + flask plugin upgrade-all + flask seed permissions/settings/reference-data, and the three
source dumps loaded into scratch DBs (shopdb_src, cmmc_usb_src,
wjf_employees_src). See scratchpad/IMPORT-PLAN.md for the full mapping,
resolved decisions, and remaining stages.
Status
Complete - all 15 stages built and verified end-to-end against a fresh scratch
target (zero endpoint errors): reference, employees, catalog, assets
(the hub + machineid->assetid crosswalk), locations, printers,
communications, applications (+ installs), warranties, notifications,
knowledgebase, relationships, subnets, usb, verify.
Last full run: 983 assets (computer 663, machine 76, network 58, measuring-tool 136, printer 50), 24 locations, 415 employees, 850 installs, 461 primary IPs, 464 warranties, 261 notifications, 341 KB, 93 relationships, 37 subnets, 18 USB devices + 232 events. UI spot-check passed (computer list + shop-floor map).
Known follow-ups: general asset locationid is null (no source column outside
printers); the ~146 duplicate machinenumbers are first-wins-skipped by decision.
