Adding a "Model type" row next to "Type" put two rows in the Hardware section that read identically. They come from different tables - modeltypes is the catalog-wide list spanning every kind of asset, machinetypes is machine-only - but the names line up in practice: all 262 machines in the development database match exactly, which is the same fact that makes the type backfill safe. So the row now appears only when the two disagree, which is the case worth seeing: a model catalogued as one thing fitted to an asset recorded as another. When they agree it says nothing and is hidden. Applied to machines, PCs, printers and network devices, each compared against its own type table.
