Note secret sharing as a tabled tool, with the reasoning attached
Evaluated a Password-Pusher-style service as a Tech Tool and tabled it. The note
carries the decisions rather than just the idea, because those are what cost the
time: it is NOT a Tools-plugin candidate as it stands (that plugin is browser
only by design, with get_blueprint and get_models both empty), the sender must
always be authenticated, a FILE recipient should be logged in too - which costs
nothing on an intranet-only server where anyone who can resolve the link already
has an account - and zero-knowledge encryption is right for a credential but
questionable for a controlled document, where a server that cannot say what was
shared is a liability rather than a feature.

Intranet-only hosting is what makes the idea viable at all: a link mailed
outside is dead and no ciphertext reaches a third party. Pointing staff at the
public hosted instance instead would reinstate every problem this avoids.

# Roadmap
shopdb-flask is pre-1.0 on both series. Current contract and product versions are in [PROJECT-MAP.md](PROJECT-MAP.md), which is generated from the code rather than typed here. This document captures what stands between today and a stable `1.0.0` release. Maintained as scope evolves; supersedes nothing in the ADRs.
## Phase status
| Phase | Status | Commit |
|-------|--------|--------|
| 0 - Lock platform contract, naming, style enforcement | DONE | `d6725c0` |
| 1 - pytest baseline, production hardening, pinned requirements | DONE | `2d1bb83` |
| 2 - Plugin contract surface and compliance tests | DONE | `5fefb53` |
| 3 - Manifest-first loader, shopdb.api namespace, auto-register blueprints | DONE | `6f085a1` |
| 4 - Plugin scaffolding (`flask plugin new`) | DONE | `8eb9362` |
| 5 - Alembic baseline, per-site deploy, ADRs to docs/adr | DONE | `d4e3ac9` |
| 6 - Multi-site distribution readiness (settings-driven branding/ServiceNow/floor plan, security closeout, docs + Docker frontend build, release engineering) | DONE | v0.5.0-v0.7.0 |
The last big milestone before 1.0 is the legacy-ASP data import plus a production pilot deployment; the framework work below is what remains after that.
## What's left before tagging 1.0.0
### Must-have
- **Asset model fully wired**. `Asset.mapx, Asset.mapy` columns, `AssetRelationship.inheritsposition` column, and the `relationshiptypepropagations` M:N table (`RelationshipTypePropagation` model; propagation lives on `RelationshipType`, not `AssetRelationship`). Models match the locked ADR-001 surface that `resolve_asset_position` already targets.
- **Equipment data migration script** for facilities migrating from legacy ASP shopdb. One-shot script under `scripts/migration/`. Per ADR-001, only `category='Equipment' AND machinenumber IS NOT NULL` migrates.
- **Printers retirement**. The printers plugin already runs on the asset architecture (blueprint `printers_asset_bp`); any remaining legacy printer-table cleanup is coordinated with the equipment migration.
- **External plugin UI packaging**. The Vue-side hook contract ships (ADR-010: get_settings_cards / get_asset_panels / get_map_overlays / get_asset_presentation) and route gating is backend-driven (ADR-009), but plugin routes/views still live in core `frontend/src`. Let an external plugin ship its own Vue bundle so adopters can add UI without editing core.
### Nice-to-have
- **Full palette theming.** `brand_primary_color` and a few brand colors are settings-driven, but the rest of the CSS palette (surfaces, borders, accents) is still hardcoded in `style.css`. A complete theming pass would expose the palette as CSS variables a site can override, not just the brand colors.
- Frontend scaffolding skill (the backend has `flask plugin new`; the frontend stub is currently manual copy-paste).
- Marketplace listing site (PLUGINS.md is a one-pager; a proper listing with links to sister-site plugins becomes useful when there are more than three external plugins).
- Plugin contract surface diff tooling. Today version bumps are manual judgment; a CI check that diffs the contract surface against the previous tag would catch missed bumps. See ADR-002.
- Calibration cycles, maintenance windows, downtime tracking (domain extensions; would likely live in the `machines` and `measuringtools` plugins).
### Deferred (out of scope for 1.0)
- Multi-tenancy (rejected by ADR-004; revisit only if more than five sites adopt and operational overhead becomes painful).
- Pip-installable plugins (deferred per ADR-003 v2). Filesystem distribution stays the v1 model.
- Event bus on `BasePlugin` (removed per ADR-001; add via new ADR if a real use case appears).
- Frontend rebuild beyond Vue 3 + Pinia + Vite (the existing stack is fine).
- Secret and file sharing as a Tech Tool (tabled 2026-08-21). A one-view,
expiring link for handing someone a credential, in place of a chat message or
a sticky note. NOT a Tools-plugin candidate as it stands: that plugin is
browser-only by design (`get_blueprint` and `get_models` are both empty) and
this needs storage, expiry and an audit trail, so it would be its own plugin.
Decisions already reached, to save rediscovering them: the sender is always
authenticated; a FILE recipient should be logged in too, which costs nothing
on an intranet-only server where everyone with the link already has an
account; separate permissions for sharing a secret and sharing a file, because
the risk classes differ; and zero-knowledge encryption is right for a
credential but questionable for a controlled document, where "the server
cannot say what was in it" is a liability rather than a feature. Export
control should confirm internal link sharing in writing before it carries
drawings or NC programs.
## What 1.0.0 means
Tagging `1.0.0` is a commitment that the contract surface is stable for at least the next minor version cycle. Plugin authors at sister sites can pin `core_version: ">=1.0.0,<2.0.0"` and trust their plugin will not break on framework patches.
Concretely, 1.0.0 ships when:
1. ADR-001's full contract surface is implemented in code, not just documented (`Asset.mapx`, `RelationshipType.propagatesthroughid`, etc.)
2. The contract test suite covers every documented hook with both happy-path and a "broken plugin" failure-isolation test
3. At least one external plugin (likely `measuringtools` from the scaffold canary) has been built end-to-end with no contract changes required mid-build
4. The deploy runbook (DEPLOY.md) has been validated by an actual fresh-host deploy
