Metrology PCs (CMM, Keyence, Genspect, wax-and-trace imaging pc-types) drive
an attached measuring instrument. The PC itself stays a shopfloor PC, but the
collector now models the instrument:
- New METROLOGY_TOOL_MAP (pctypemap.py) maps those pc-types to a
MeasuringToolType (CMM, Vision System, Genspect, Form Tracer).
- ComputersPlugin._sync_measuringtool_link creates the MeasuringTool asset
once and a directional PC->tool "controls" relationship, tagged
collector:measuringtool. Idempotent (re-push reuses, no duplicate asset) and
self-archiving (a PC re-imaged to a non-metrology type deactivates the link
but keeps the asset and any calibration history). Mirrors the printer-link
pattern. The MeasuringToolType is created on demand if not seeded.
- 4 tests: create+link, idempotent re-push, non-metrology skip, repurpose
archives. Non-metrology PCs never warn about a missing controls type.
Settings rail cleanup:
- Collapsible groups so the 13-group rail fits without scrolling (1511px ->
488px). The group containing the current page expands; the rest collapse.
CSS-drawn caret (ASCII source, no Unicode). Empty groups never render, in
both the rail and the landing page.
- Measuring Tools group placed with the other asset groups (right after
Machines) instead of appended last; empty placeholder positions the
plugin-contributed cards.
- Operating Systems moved from PCs to General Reference: OS is cross-asset
(PCs, machines, measuring tools, network devices all run one).
Plus docs/proposals/ge-enforce-plugin.md: a planning doc for refactoring
GE-Enforce/DSC into a shopdb plugin (manifest as shopdb data, payloads on
SMB/HTTP/inline), grounded in the real manifest schema.
