cproudlock ed5d64fa3e Name the record in the browser tab, not just the section
Every detail page read "West Jefferson ShopDB - Machine". Two tabs on two
different machines were indistinguishable, a bookmark said nothing about what
it pointed at, and a link shared into Teams previewed as the section rather
than the thing.

The router cannot fix this alone: afterEach runs before the view has fetched
anything, so it only ever knows the KIND of page. So a detail view names its
record once the record arrives, and both writers go through
composables/pageTitle.js.

THE ORDERING IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. The router awaits the site settings to build
the "<facility> ShopDB" prefix, so on a cold load it finishes AFTER a view that
fetched quickly and would overwrite the good title with the generic one. The
route's fullPath is claimed before that await, and the generic write stands
down when a record title already belongs to the route being landed on. The
reverse case is handled too: a view that names its record BEFORE the facility
name arrives composed against the placeholder prefix, so the late resolve
rewrites it rather than leaving "ShopDB - CSF16" on a site called West
Jefferson. Both are pinned by tests, because both fail only under timing.

Covers machines, PCs, printers, network devices, subnets, measuring tools, USB
devices, printed parts, applications, employees, knowledge base articles and
guides. Printers reuse the page's own displayTitle, which already discards the
literal name "NONE" a discovered queue can carry, so the tab and the heading
agree.

A record with no usable name, or one that failed to load, keeps the section
name: "Machine" beats "Machine 4192" for somebody scanning a row of tabs.
Long names are cut at a word boundary - knowledge base articles are named with
a whole sentence of description, which a browser otherwise truncates mid-word.

Reports gained meta.title, which the router already supported and nothing used.
That also fixes "Pc Relationships", which the name-derived spelling produced.

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.

What's here

  • plugin.py - the PrintedpartsPlugin class extending BasePlugin. Edit init_app for custom setup, on_install to seed reference data.
  • models/printedparts.py - example Asset extension table. Replace examplefield with your domain fields.
  • api/routes.py - example list and detail endpoints. Add CRUD as needed.
  • schemas/__init__.py - marshmallow schema stub for request/response validation.
  • tests/test_plugin.py - smoke tests asserting contract compliance.
  • manifest.json - plugin metadata. Bump version on changes; keep core_version range broad.

Common edits

You want to... Do this
Add a hook (search, navigation, dashboard widget) Override the method in PrintedpartsPlugin. See docs/PLUGIN-HOOKS.md.
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:

  1. Decrement-only: it can reduce stock of an active item, nothing else.
  2. 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.
  3. Bounded blast radius: worst case is stock counts driven low - visible in the ledger and reversible with an adjust.
  4. 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.
