Prod grew rows saying both "PC controls 2005" and "2005 controls PC", and a CMM
PC showing "<- controls from CMM4" beside its own outgoing link. Only one
direction can be true: a PC drives a machine, never the reverse.
Nothing stopped it. The duplicate check was keyed on (source, target, type), so
the inverse inserted cleanly, and the Add Relationship dialog offers an incoming
direction that writes exactly that. The legacy import stores controls the wrong
way round as well. Directional creates now refuse the reverse with a 409 naming
the row that already holds it, and refuse self-links, which render as a
duplicate on the asset's own page and mean nothing. Symmetric types are exempt:
Dualpath stores both directions on purpose and the card collapses them. The
propagation fan-out got the same guard so a rail meant to spread one direction
across sibling bays cannot manufacture a pair.
fix-controls-direction only matched source assettype 'machine', so every
measuring_tool, printer and network_device row it was written to clean survived
it - which is why running it would never have fixed the CMM. It now matches any
non-computer controlled BY a computer.
New `flask relationships audit` reports what is already stored: reciprocal
pairs, self-links, and PCs controlling several assets of one type. Read-only,
and it prints each row's label because that usually names the writer outright -
collector:* means this code made it, anything else means a person or the import
did. That distinction decides the fix for duplicate device assets, which is not
in this commit: the collector keys idempotency on its own label, so a device
somebody created by hand is invisible to it and it mints another, and the
adoption rule needs the audit run against prod before it can be written.
Two false positives were found writing it, against the dev database, and both
would have made the report useless. A self-link is its own inverse, so it was
counted as a reciprocal pair AND printed twice. And Dualpath siblings looked
like duplicate devices - a dual-bay machine is one physical machine with one
controller and controls is propagated to both bays deliberately. That was 30 of
32 findings, consecutive bay numbers pair by pair.
