When a camera has Alarm Server push enabled, the setup form now shows the
camera's Alarm Settings (Destination IP / URL / Protocol / Port) ready to copy,
so the operator never hunts the deviceId or memorises the endpoint.
CRUCIAL: host/port come from the BACKEND address on the camera's subnet
(backendIpForDevice + the server's listen port — the same probe the push-IP
picker uses), NOT window.location.origin (the SPA's dev/proxy origin, which
would wrongly say localhost:5173). Verified live: matches the on-camera config
field-for-field (10.0.10.203 / …/event / HTTP / 3000). Shows a "save first"
(needs a deviceId) then "test first" (needs the resolved backend IP) hint.
i18n keys added to sq + en (parity enforced).

A Hikvision DS-2CD1047G3H-LIU returned HTTP 503 (statusCode 2 / deviceBusy)
on EVERY main-stream snapshot — its main encoder is persistently saturated.
Probed on hardware: channels/101/picture → 503 on 5 consecutive tries, while
channels/102/picture (sub stream) → 200 clean JPEG every time. A retry loop
can't fix a persistent busy; the real fix is stream selection.
- Add a `stream` config field to the Hikvision driver (1=main, default for
back-compat; 2=sub). ISAPI channel id is <channel><stream> (101 main, 102 sub).
Verified live: setting the G3H to Sub flips its status degraded→ready (14.7KB
JPEG in ~87ms).
- captureSnapshot also retries the TRANSIENT case (503/500, linear backoff
250/500/750ms ×4) then fails naming it "(device busy)"; does NOT retry 401/404
(config errors won't self-heal). Complements captureSnapshotShared (concurrent
de-dup). healthCheck still reports a live 503 as degraded (surfaces a saturated
main stream rather than hiding it).
Tests: camera.test.ts (10) — retry behaviour + main/sub path selection.

The dev box runs vision as bare `uv run uvicorn`, and a plain uv run/uv sync
re-resolves the venv to the lockfile DEFAULTS, stripping fast-alpr/onnxruntime.
So after any `pnpm dev` real ANPR silently degraded to "snapshot, no plate"
(diagnosed 2026-06-25: real reads through 06-22, venv frozen lean since 06-19,
no other env with fast_alpr). The BOOTH was never affected — it runs the Docker
image, which bakes `uv sync --frozen --extra alpr` at build (immutable, weights
pre-warmed); a booth ModuleNotFoundError is a STALE image (fix: booth.sh update).
Vision package.json dev/start/recognize now run `uv sync --extra alpr &&` first
so pnpm dev is self-healing; added a dev:stub escape hatch for a lean run.
Documented in wiki/decisions/vision-service-packaging.md ("Two runtimes, one
fragile") + a log entry.

On a vehicle entry, two paths captured the SAME Hikvision camera within ~1s —
the ANPR bridge (barrier-driving) and the advisory snapshotAsync (evidence/
telemetry) — each from a separate adapter instance. Hikvision serves snapshots
single-threaded, so the second concurrent GET returned HTTP 503; the bridge
then fail-softed and burned its 12s debounce, producing a ~74s "slow" subscriber
entry (observed 2026-06-25, Qazim Mulleti / AB816NN — plate read was instant at
conf 1.000; the delay was the 503/debounce churn, not recognition).
Add captureSnapshotShared() in snapshot.ts: a module-level, deviceId-keyed cache
that both paths call. It coalesces in-flight captures (the 2nd caller awaits the
1st's pull → no concurrent 503), serves a brief freshness window (1500ms) so the
bridge→advisory sequence for one vehicle reuses one frame, never caches a failure
(next caller retries), and keys by deviceId (no cross-camera/stale-vehicle reuse).
Wired into anpr-entry.ts (bridge) and snapshot.ts (advisory).
Tests: snapshot.test.ts (concurrent coalescing, TTL reuse, TTL-lapse re-pull,
failure-not-cached, per-camera keying); anpr-entry.test.ts mock updated. 168
server tests green.
NOTE: this removes the latency (the 503 collision). The separate double-entry
(two signed vehicle_entry for one car) — debounce-too-short / stamp-before-
success — is still open; less likely now but not eliminated.

The booth PC (Ubuntu) needs one command instead of the long
`docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml --env-file .env …`
over the three compose files.
scripts/booth.sh — prod by default (ENV=dev for the dev override):
up/down/restart/status/logs/pull/config/exec, plus the requested `update` =
pull the moving branch tag → up -d --remove-orphans (recreates only
digest-changed services; named volumes / the SQLite ledger are preserved) →
docker image prune. Prod refuses to run without .env (no safe JWT_SECRET
default); dev with no .env injects the documented benign local secret (the
base file makes JWT_SECRET shell-required via ${JWT_SECRET:?}). down never
passes -v (would wipe the signed-ledger volume); help/unknown-command
short-circuit before any Docker/.env requirement.
.env.example — the vars the compose files consume (REGISTRY, TAG, JWT_SECRET,
EVENT_SIGNING_KEY, COOKIE_SECURE=0, WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS). .env stays gitignored.

New concepts/printer-usb-transport.md (the seam, usblp char device,
reachability-only status, threat model). open-questions #14: confirm the
on-site printer is USB and bake the usblp + udev write-access rule into the
appliance image (provisioning, not app code; unverified on hardware). Updated
rongta-printer.md (USB transport note), index.md, log.md.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
The wizard rendered every configField in a flat loop, so the USB device path
showed under a Network printer (and host/port would show under USB) — the
form could mislead. Add a transport-aware filter (mirroring the existing
pulseMs/inputRestingHigh skip): when Connection=USB hide host/port/httpPort,
otherwise hide devicePath. Verified live (Playwright): each transport shows
only its own fields and toggling swaps them.

The ESC/POS printer drivers were TCP-only — every path went through
sendRaw/probe to a raw socket on port 9100. Add a USB transport behind
the existing render layer without touching a single render*() function.
- printer-escpos.ts: sendRawUsb/probeUsb write the same ESC/POS bytes to a
kernel usblp char device (/dev/usb/lp0) via a plain fs write — no
libusb/CUPS/native dep (keeps MIT-only + minimal-deps appliance). A
discriminated Transport + transportFromConfig/sendTo/probeTo dispatch the
wire; anything not transport:"usb" is TCP, so existing host-only configs
need no migration. Shared transportField/devicePathField config fields.
- cashino + rongta resolve a Transport once; both are reachability-only over
USB, and the Rongta's HTTP status page degrades to the open-the-node probe
over USB (no guessed paper/cover — the standing honesty rule). host/port
made not-required so a USB printer needs neither.
- Tests: printer-escpos.test.ts (USB writes the exact rendered bytes; probe
present/absent; transportFromConfig TCP back-compat) + printer-cashino.test.ts
(USB-configured driver prints to the node, ready/offline).
USB itself is unverified on hardware (the on-site printers are networked);
the appliance-side usblp + udev provisioning is tracked as open-questions #14.

- dingtian-relay: the "offline despite ping" gotcha (relay_pw in every binary frame,
missing form field → Test connection sent 0 → timeout) + the identity-gated secret
re-merge that stops a redirected probe exfiltrating the password.
- button-light-indicator: serialized desired-state worker (UDP is unordered → the lamp
stuck on/off) and hot-reload of the lamp config (no restart).
- log entry for the three fixes (commits 420542c / fd15988 / 830993b).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
Two bugs in the button-light controller:
1. Stuck relay (random on/off). The blink fired fire-and-forget setAux every 500ms over
UNORDERED UDP with no serialization — concurrent on/off packets reordered/overlapped,
so the relay latched on whichever packet the device processed last. Replace with a
desired-state + serialized worker (#pump): the blink timer only flips desiredOn; a
single in-flight send per lamp is guaranteed, and on completion it re-converges to the
latest desired state — so the final state is always authoritative and a lost/stale
packet self-corrects.
2. Lamp ignored until restart. The lamp map was built once at start(); a button light
added/changed via the UI never took effect without a server restart. #reconcile now
re-reads the device config (at start and before each event, like DeviceMonitor),
adding/updating/dropping lamps live — so a just-saved lamp blinks on the next radar
edge.
Tests assert confirmedOf() (the device's latched state); +1 reconcile-after-start case.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
The controller editor mixed outputs and inputs in one flat "Relays" block — relay
direction, the entry-button terminal, and the presence/radar terminal all on the same
row, with the lamp orphaned below. Reorganize into two labelled sections:
- Outputs — relays (barriers + lamp): relay # + direction, the button-light relay, and
"Pulse open (ms)" (a relay hold-time, NOT an input setting — answers a recurring
confusion).
- Inputs — terminals (button, sensor): per entry relay, the button + presence/radar
terminals (kind, active-low) and cooldown, each labelled "For relay N", plus the
board-wide "Inputs idle HIGH".
UI-only: storage stays config.relays[] (+ config.buttonLight), so saved booth configs
keep working with no migration. pulseMs/inputRestingHigh are pulled out of the generic
field loop and rendered in their section. i18n parity (sq + en).
Also passes the device id to testDevice() so an edited device's stored relay password
re-merges on Test connection (pairs with the secure-merge server change).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
The relay control password (relay_pw) was read by the driver but had NO form field,
so Test connection sent it as 0 → the device ignored the probe → a controller showed
"offline" even though it pinged. Add a "Relay control password" config field (secret;
blank keeps the stored value).
Because relayPassword is redacted from the client, the edit form can't resend it — so
the test endpoint now re-merges the stored secret by device id (mirroring save). It is
re-merged ONLY when the submitted config addresses the SAME device: matching driverId
and every connection-identity field it sets (host/port/binaryPort/httpPort/serial). A
redirected host/port or mismatched driver yields NO secret, so a probe can't exfiltrate
the password to an attacker host (the booth operator is the threat-model adversary).
testDevice() now passes the device id; setup-secrets.test.ts covers the identity guard.

Model the entry button (I1) and a Hikvision radar (I2) as named children of the
access controller, and drive the button's 12V lamp on a spare relay.
- Radar = the existing relays[].presenceInput one-car-one-ticket gate, now labelled
presenceKind: loop|radar. A radar may idle opposite the button, so add a per-input
active-level override: relays[].presenceActiveLow -> driver inputActiveLow set,
inverting just that terminal (pure helper inputActive()). The Dingtian has one
board-wide resting level otherwise.
- AuxOutputDevice.setAux(channel,on) capability on the device interface (Dingtian
latch) so business logic drives a NON-barrier lamp through the interface. Barriers
still only pulseOpen — barrier-not-a-door preserved.
- ButtonLightController: subscribes to the radar input edge + the camera lane status
and drives a 3-state lamp — radar+car=solid, radar-only=blink (~1Hz), else off.
Fails OFF on host loss/error; de-duped. A radar detection never opens a barrier on
its own (advisory; threat model).
- SetupWizard: presence kind + active-low + a button-light relay picker; sq+en i18n.

Operators/admins reach the booth at http://<name-or-ip>/ (no :3000). Adds a caddy:2-alpine
proxy to the prod override that reverse-proxies :80 → server:3000 (the /api/ws WebSocket
upgrades pass through natively); the server is now `expose: 3000` (internal, no published
port), vision stays internal. The Caddyfile binds `:80` so it matches ANY hostname/IP —
works for the booth IP, localhost, AND parksystems.msai.al (pointed at the booth via
hosts/DNS on-site; no domain baked into any image). TLS later = swap `:80` for the real
hostname + uncomment :443 → Caddy auto-provisions HTTPS.
Pairs with the relative-/api SPA fix (77b2acb): together verified end-to-end locally —
through Caddy on :80 with Host: parksystems.msai.al, GET / serves the SPA, assets/health
200, and POST /api/auth/login reaches the server (real 401, no CORS/connection error).

apps/web/.env.production sets VITE_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:3000 for the TAURI
desktop build (which loads from tauri://localhost and needs an absolute backend
origin). But Vite auto-loads .env.production for ANY `vite build`, so the server
image baked 127.0.0.1:3000 into the browser bundle — loading the UI from a real
host (e.g. http://parksystems.msai.al) then made the browser call 127.0.0.1:3000
cross-origin and fail the Same-Origin Policy on /api/auth/login.
Fix: the server Dockerfile writes apps/web/.env.production.local with an empty
VITE_API_BASE before the web build (.local has higher Vite precedence), so the SPA
served by Fastify stays relative/same-origin (/api/...). The desktop build is
unaffected (it doesn't use this Dockerfile). Verified: 127.0.0.1:3000 no longer in
the built bundle; /api/auth/login is relative.

The base compose only forwarded DATABASE_URL/VISION_URL/JWT_SECRET, so a booth deploy
was missing the vars that actually make it usable on the plain-HTTP LAN:
- COOKIE_SECURE (default 0) — without it auth cookies are HTTPS-only and operators
CANNOT log in over http. The #1 booth-deploy footgun.
- WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS — the live-feed WS rejects the browser Origin without it.
- EVENT_SIGNING_KEY — dedicated ledger key (falls back to JWT_SECRET if empty).
- VISION_ENABLED=1 — the server's ANPR master switch.
All driven from .env; verified via `docker compose config` that the seven vars resolve.

provisioning a booth PC (Dell OptiPlex 7070, i5-8500, discrete Nuvoton TPM 2.0) from
factory Windows to a hardened Ubuntu 26.04 LTS appliance. Every command was run on the
first real unit (2026-06-23). Captures the firmware-specific gotchas: Ventoy → 0x1A under
Secure Boot (flash ISO directly); the 7070 BIOS can't view db (verify via live USB); the
installer's hardware-backed encryption fails with PCR_UNUSABLE/dbt (use passphrase LUKS +
manual systemd-cryptenroll PCR-7 seal); GRUB password must be edit-only (--unrestricted)
to keep unattended boot.
OS hardening on unit 1 is COMPLETE + verified: LUKS FDE + TPM auto-unlock (PCR 7,
unattended) + Secure Boot (Deployed) + GRUB edit-lock (closes the init=/bin/bash root-shell
hole that PCR-7 sealing does not cover). Resolves the implementation half of

Containerize the two non-desktop apps for the booth appliance. The desktop app stays
on its own tag-only release.yml.
- apps/server/Dockerfile: multi-stage node:22-alpine. `pnpm deploy --legacy --prod`
(NOT prune — the monorepo native better-sqlite3 won't resolve under a root prune)
yields a self-contained bundle; build stage adds node-gyp toolchain, runtime adds
libstdc++; non-root, healthcheck. Migrates the mounted DB on boot via a drizzle-kit-
free runtime migrator (packages/db/scripts/migrate-runtime.mjs) — drizzle-kit is a
devDep, pruned from prod.
- apps/server/src/static-spa.ts: Fastify serves the built React SPA (one container
serves API + UI). GET-only fallback to index.html, excludes /api + /health so it never
shadows the backend; a no-op in dev (no dist). Registered last in server.ts.
- apps/vision/Dockerfile: uv base, --extra alpr, model weights PRE-WARMED into the image
as the runtime user so fast_alpr boots offline (0 downloads at runtime). Engine env-
selected (VISION_RECOGNIZER stub|fast_alpr).
- Branch-aware: docker-compose.yml (base) + .dev.yml (build local, stub, ports) +
.prod.yml (pull pinned, fast_alpr, vision internal, restart always); REGISTRY/TAG from
env so a branch deploy pulls that branch's image.
- .gitea/workflows/build-images.yml: on push to dev/main, run the full turbo build+lint+
test gate, then buildx push both images to git.infra.msai.al/mca/parking_solution with
branch + branch-<sha> tags (registry cache; optional Komodo webhook behind KOMODO_ENABLED).
- .dockerignore excludes **/parking.sqlite* so the signed ledger is NEVER baked.
Verified locally (Docker 29): server image migrates + serves API+SPA (/health 200, /

the root turbo `lint` task had no dependsOn, but those packages expose their types via

ran before the deps were built, so tsc couldn't resolve them. Locally it passed only

Cancel a misprinted/test/wrong-vehicle ticket via a SIGNED `void` event — the

The void folds the session CLOSED everywhere it's counted — occupancy (count +
reserved spots), pay-station (lookup/activeSessions), exit-flow (#sessionFor), and
reports (excluded from entries) — so a voided car stops occupying a spot, can't be
paid/exited, and doesn't inflate "cars entered". No barrier action. Booth UI: a
"Cancel ticket" action in the pay/exit lookup modal (transient + unpaid + open;
gated on event:void) with a preset-or-free reason prompt.
Reclassify the Live feed: refused-action events (exitRefused/entryRefused/
permitRefused — e.g. a double card-scan, at-capacity subscriber, exit on a closed

amber REFUZUAR/REFUSED, reserving red ANOMALI for genuine red-flags. Display-only —
no ledger change, so historical events reclassify too.
CI: install uv + sync vision deps before the Turbo run. @parking/vision's lint/
typecheck/test shell to `uv run …`, but CI set up only Node+pnpm, so `uv run ruff`

Wire the lane camera's vehicle event into the gated subscription flow: on a
vehicle/active push from an opt-in (config.anpr) camera, AnprBridge pulls a fresh
snapshot, runs ANPR, applies a stricter entry confidence floor, debounces, and —
matching the plate to a subscription BEFORE emitting — emits a kind:"plate" read.
The existing ReadDispatcher -> SubscriptionFlow then signs the entry/exit and opens
the barrier. A plate is never the sole authority: it routes through the same gate
(active/window/blocklist/car-count) as any credential. Fail-soft, fire-and-forget,
subscriber-only by construction. Field-verified end to end (plate AA504LX opened the
entry barrier and appended a signed vehicle_entry).
Add an admin master switch (site_config.anpr_entry_enabled, default ON) in Site
Settings that disables ONLY the barrier-driving bridge; advisory snapshot-ANPR and
lane busy/free are unaffected. Read live per event, so toggling takes effect with no
restart. Migration 0013 (additive ALTER ADD COLUMN, default 1).

Captures this session's back-and-forth as a new concept page
[[lane-presence-and-anpr-entry]] and cross-links it:
- BUILT: advisory lane busy/free booth lights (LaneStatus + WS), with the
measured camera limits behind the 30s timeout (no leave signal; movement-
driven re-fire; notificationRecurrence locked to "beginning" — ISAPI flip
silently reverts).
- PLANNED: the ANPR "bridge" — explicitly a small apps/server HANDLER (~40
lines), NOT a new service/container. On a camera vehicle event: snapshot ->
ANPR -> high-confidence match -> debounce -> emitRead{kind:"plate"}, then
the existing subscription match/dispatch/gate admits the subscriber. Both
directions, opt-in (config.anpr), plate never the sole authority.
- Records the decisions (high confidence floor, debounce-for-correctness)
and the REJECTED ideas (continuous livestream / per-car queue tracking /
make-model) with why, plus the open hardware question (booth-PC test).
Updates subscription.md (plate matching is built; the live source is this
bridge) and lpr-camera.md (the two consumers of the vehicle event).

Controlled in/out test on the camera: the `active` re-fire rate is
MOVEMENT-driven, not steady — ~1-3s apart while the car moves, but up to
~15-25s when it sits MOTIONLESS in the zone. A 5s TTL would flicker a
parked car free; the TTL must exceed the still-car gap. The camera has
~no dwell lag (goes silent within ~1s of the car leaving — measured: last
event 16:15:17 vs car-left ~16:15:30), so 30s keeps a motionless car busy
while clearing promptly after departure. This also confirms vision-based
tracking isn't warranted: the camera's leave signal is already tight.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
Measured the real re-fire rate on the camera: while a vehicle is in the
zone it POSTs `active` about every ~1 second (not the ~30-80s I'd guessed).
The camera sends no leave signal, so "free" is timeout-driven — but with a
~1s re-fire, 90s made the lane stay red for a minute and a half after the
car left. 5s of silence reliably means the car is gone; the light now
clears within seconds. Still override-able via LANE_BUSY_TTL_MS.

A Hikvision vehicle detection (eventType=VMD, targetType=vehicle) on a
camera bound to entry/exit now marks that lane "busy" and shows it as a
barrier light beside the scan input on the booth (green=free, red=busy).
Advisory only — it gates nothing (never blocks a ticket or opens a barrier).
- Parse eventState (active/inactive) from the Hik payload.
- LaneStatus tracker: a vehicle `active` event marks the camera's bound lane
busy + arms an auto-clear timer. This camera class sends no leave/`inactive`
signal, so "free" is timeout-driven (LANE_BUSY_TTL_MS, default 90s; the
camera re-fires `active` while a car sits there, refreshing the timer). A
"both"-direction camera marks both lanes.
- Push lane-status over the existing booth WS (+ in the hello snapshot);
live-store holds { entry, exit }; two BarrierLight icons render it.
- i18n booth.laneEntry/laneExit (sq + en).
Tests: lane-status.test.ts (7 — busy/free, TTL auto-clear, timer re-arm,
no re-emit while busy, both/exit direction, unknown device). server 120/120;
web + server build/lint green.

Vite had no host set (localhost only). Bind 0.0.0.0 so the dev booth UI is
reachable from other LAN devices at http://<host-lan-ip>:5173. The SPA
already uses relative paths + the page origin for API and the live WS, so
no app code changes — but loading from a non-localhost origin means the
/api/ws handshake's Origin is the LAN address, which the backend's
WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS must include (documented in .env.example; the host's own
.env is gitignored).

The Hik DS-2CD1043G2-LIU was NOT defective. An earlier wiki entry wrongly
concluded it needed RMA (dead event engine) based on a silent alertStream
+ diskfull/EventScribe:except + dead RTC surviving a full factory reset.
Real cause: no detection AREA was drawn on the frame. With no region, the
camera detects nothing -> generates no event -> posts nothing. The instant
an area was drawn, the first vehicle produced a clean POST.
- Flag "draw the detection area" as the FIRST thing to check.
- Document the confirmed real payload: multipart/form-data (MoveDetection.xml),
EventNotificationAlert with eventType=VMD, eventState=active,
targetType=vehicle (vehicle/human classified on-device), targetRect bbox.
Note the dateTime is garbage (dead RTC) -> use our own receive time.
- Reframe the SSH diagnostics: diskfull/EventScribe/RTC are RED HERRINGS,
not proof of a dead camera; don't escalate to hardware fault while a basic
config precondition is unmet.
- Append a log correction (append-only) superseding the earlier conclusion.

Captures the hard-won findings from the field session: the WSL source-IP
rewrite + skipSourceIpCheck fix, the boolean-as-string setup bug, the
unreliable "Test" button, the latching httpBroken flag, and Notify-
Surveillance-Center vs HTTP-Alarm-Server.
Adds a "diagnose a non-pushing camera from its OWN state" runbook
(alertStream heartbeat silence, SSH showStatus EventScribe:except, dmesg
RTC/UBIFS, netstat outbound watch) and documents the verified-dead
DS-2CD1043G2-LIU unit (defective event engine, survives factory reset ->
RMA), with the pull+vision fallback.

Diagnosed why no camera push ever landed: (1) the route only registered
POST/GET, so a probe with another method got a generic 404 the camera
reads as "service available" while our handler never ran; (2) more
fundamentally, WSL mirrored mode REWRITES the inbound source IP to the
host's own address (10.0.10.203), so the camera's real IP (10.0.10.12)
never survives and the source-IP guard rejected every push as a mismatch.
- Register the event route on POST/GET/PUT/PATCH/DELETE/OPTIONS (HEAD comes
with GET) so ANYTHING hitting the path reaches the handler and is recorded.
- Log + store the HTTP method of each hit; log every hit on arrival, before
any guard, so even a rejected probe is visible immediately.
- Add per-device skipSourceIpCheck (a Setup checkbox) to bypass the
source-IP guard where the network rewrites the source (WSL). Digest auth +
the signed ledger remain the real guards.
Tests: hik-alarm 10 (skip-IP accept + method capture). server green;
web build green (new checkbox renderer + this field).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
The generic config-field loop had no boolean branch, so a type:"boolean"
field (e.g. the camera's alarmPushEnabled) fell through to a TEXT input and
saved the STRING "true" instead of a real boolean. Downstream checks use
=== true, so the feature read as disabled even when the admin ticked it.
- Web: render type:"boolean" config fields as a real checkbox; store/merge
a true/false boolean (and persist false on edit so toggling off sticks);
normalize a legacy string "true"/"false" on load.
- Server: isOn() coerces the flag when reading config (accepts true/"true"/
1/"yes"/"on") so an existing row saved as the string "true" still works
without a re-save, and no other boolean field hits the same trap.
Tests: hik-alarm accepts string "true" for alarmPushEnabled. server
112/112; web typecheck + build green.

Debugging "is the camera event coming or not?" was painful: a rejected
push only logged a warning and recorded nothing, so "no event" was
ambiguous (never sent vs sent-and-refused), and the only durable record
was an unreadable device_events row.
- Record EVERY push, accepted or rejected: accepted -> kind:"alarm",
rejected -> kind:"alarm-rejected" with the precise reason (unknown
device / not-hikvision / push-disabled / source-IP mismatch / digest
fail). The 404 body now also returns the reason.
- New GET /api/devices/hikvision/alarms (device:read): the recent pushes
newest-first as JSON (accepted+rejected, with ip/reason/eventType/
target/plate/rawHead) so you can SEE arrivals in the browser instead of
grepping the dev log or querying SQLite.
Tests: hikvision-alarm.test.ts now 8 (rejection-recorded + read-endpoint
list + gating). server 111/111; build+lint green.

Newer Hik firmware can PUSH events to us: Event -> Smart/VCA with
"Detection Target: Human/Vehicle" + Notify Surveillance Center + Alarm
Settings -> Alarm Server makes the camera HTTP-POST an
EventNotificationAlert on each detection.
- New POST /api/devices/hikvision/:deviceId/event (routes/hikvision-alarm.ts):
same machine-push pattern as the Dingtian Input Link — source-IP guarded
+ optional HTTP Digest, not behind the SPA cookie/CSRF.
- Discovery-first / permissive: a wildcard content-type parser accepts ANY
body as raw bytes (event XML, multipart+JPEG, or JSON — Hik varies by
firmware), records it verbatim as a kind:"alarm" device_event, and
best-effort extracts eventType/target/plate/dateTime/channelID for the
summary + a loud log line. The point is to SEE exactly what a camera
sends before wiring it further.
- hikvision driver gains alarmPushEnabled + pushUser/pushPassword config and
pushesToBackend:true (setup offers the backend push IP).
- NOT yet a barrier trigger / DeviceReadEvent — records only. A plate read
is advisory, never the sole reason a barrier opens; the read-bus/ANPR
wiring is a deliberate next step once the real payload is known.
Tests: hikvision-alarm.test.ts (6: vehicle XML summary, ANPR plate, raw
JSON, wrong-IP 404, disabled 404, unknown-device 404). server 109/109;

Accidental admin deletes of users/roles/subscriptions/plans/tariffs were
hard and unrecoverable. Now they soft-delete into a recycle bin.
Schema (migration 0012): nullable deleted_at + deleted_by on users, roles,
subscriptions, subscription_plans, tariffs. Additive ADD COLUMN; verified
against a copy of the live DB.
Backend: each resource's DELETE route STAMPS instead of removing; every
catalog list filters deleted_at IS NULL. New recycle-bin module + routes
(GET /api/recycle-bin, POST .../restore, DELETE .../:id purge) gated on a
new recyclebin:read/update/delete permission. A 6-hourly + startup sweep
auto-purges items older than RECYCLE_BIN_RETENTION_DAYS (default 30; 0 =
forever).
Invariants: soft-deleted users can't log in (login rejects deleted_at;
no-lockout counts live admins only); a soft-deleted subscription doesn't
open the barrier; plans are versioned so a delete stamps all versions of
the plan_id (bin shows one item); username/role-name UNIQUE spans deleted
rows so reuse returns a clear 409 pointing at the bin; restore doesn't
auto-cascade a dangling role (guard resolves missing role to empty perms).
The signed append-only ledger is OUT of scope (no delete path).
Web: a Recycle bin tab under Setup (RecycleBin.tsx) with Restore/Purge +
purge confirm; api client + i18n (sq + en parity).
Tests: recycle-bin.test.ts (9 unit) + recycle-bin-routes.test.ts (4

Adds an admin Reports screen (/setup/reports, gated report:read) — an
on-demand dashboard over the signed event log.
Server (ledger-first): GET /api/reports/summary?from&to&bucket aggregates
in one call — entry/exit counts + all money summed straight from
ledger_events (same source the shift Z-report reconciles, so totals tie
out to the drawer); revenue split into ticket / subscription-sale /
out-of-window mirrors the Z-report. Duration stats come from the sessions
cache (flagged). All bucketing is in the SITE timezone (siteTz). A .csv
export of the per-bucket series. reports.ts + routes/reports.ts.
Web: Reports.tsx — date-range presets (today/7d/30d/90d), hour/day/month
grain, KPI cards, entry/exit line, revenue bar + cash/card split,
revenue-mix pie, peak-hours histogram, numeric breakdown, subscription
stats. Charts via Recharts (MIT), lazy-loaded into its own chunk

Plate recognition opt-in is checked) that captures a live snapshot off
the camera and runs it through the vision service, reporting the plate
read + confidence + elapsed time, or which stage failed.
- New POST /api/setup/test-anpr: builds the camera from the unsaved

runs vision.analyze. Fail-soft like the runtime path (snapshot.ts):
camera/vision failures are reported results, never a 500.

Documents the deploy-time requirement that the cookie fail-safe fix (7629d5d)
introduced: the LAN appliance serves the SPA same-origin over plain http, where a
Secure cookie is never sent — so it MUST set COOKIE_SECURE=0 or operators can't log
in. A TLS deploy leaves it unset.
- wiki/concepts/disk-os-hardening.md: new "Deploy-time server configuration (runbook)"
section listing the security-load-bearing env (JWT_SECRET, EVENT_SIGNING_KEY,
COOKIE_SECURE=0) with the why + the network-scoped justification.
- wiki/entities/local-jwt-auth.md: corrected the stale "Secure when NODE_ENV=production"
cookie line to the Secure-by-default / opt-out model.
- wiki/log.md: entry.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
secureCookies() keyed off NODE_ENV === "production", so an appliance deployed
without that var silently sent the auth + CSRF cookies WITHOUT the Secure flag —
the review's one Medium finding.
Now Secure is the DEFAULT and you only ever opt OUT: a misconfigured/forgotten env
can only make cookies more restrictive, never drop the flag. Dropped only on a
deliberate COOKIE_SECURE=0/false/no/off (or an explicit NODE_ENV=development as a
dev fallback). The LAN appliance that serves the SPA over plain http sets
COOKIE_SECURE=0 on purpose (a Secure cookie would never be sent over its http origin
and would lock operators out); a TLS deploy leaves it unset and gets Secure.
- auth.test.ts (5): pins the matrix — default Secure, production Secure, dev opt-out,
COOKIE_SECURE falsey opts out, any other value opts in.
- .env.example documents COOKIE_SECURE (replaces the stale NODE_ENV cookie note).
- dev .env sets COOKIE_SECURE=0 (local http://localhost login keeps working).

The two failing apps/vision smoke tests assumed stub mode but the local .env sets
VISION_RECOGNIZER=fast_alpr (real-model work, 2026-06-19), so the app built the real
recognizer: /health reported "fast_alpr" not "stub", and /analyze on garbage bytes
422'd (real decode reject) instead of returning the empty stub contract.
Fix is test isolation: a conftest autouse fixture pins VISION_RECOGNIZER=stub for the
session (an OS env var overrides the .env in pydantic-settings), restoring it after.

negative-invalid), formatTime, and formatRelativeDateTime (today/yesterday words +
catalog month names, no Intl dependence).

Boots the REAL Fastify app over a fresh in-memory DB (buildServer({ db }), driven by
app.inject — no listen) to exercise the security seam end to end:
- routes.test.ts (7): /health open; login rejects bad creds and sets token+csrf
cookies on good ones; an unauthenticated GET /api/occupancy is 401; a site:read-only
role GETs occupancy but is 403 on PUT /api/site-config (the permission gate, with a
valid CSRF so the 403 is the perm check); an admin passes the same PUT; and a mutation
with the auth cookie but NO csrf header is 403 (double-submit enforced).
Adds seedUser()/login() helpers (real bcrypt + the real /api/auth/login route) and
LOG_LEVEL=silent in the vitest env so asserted 401/403 responses don't flood output.

Pins the device-layer bugs we kept hand-verifying, as pure byte-stream assertions
(no sockets, no hardware):
- printer-escpos.test.ts (12): CP852 codepage select; the ë→0x89 / Ë→0xD3 mapping
and the em-dash/⚠ ASCII fallbacks (never a stray 0x3f "?"); and the Code128 MODULE
WIDTH contract — a short ticket id at width 3, but the ~20-char out-of-window
occurrence id at width 2 so it fits the 80mm head (width 3 overflows ~576 dots and
the firmware silently aborts the barcode). Plus the QR-and-Code128 dual encoding and
the Albanian stamp() format.
- printer-routing.test.ts (6): the failover order (booth printer is a fallback for
entry tickets; a receipt never prints on the outside dispenser), rank-then-id
tiebreak, and printWithFailover walking the order + NoPrinterAvailableError.

Completes the anti-fraud/safety core coverage on a fresh in-memory DB:
- occupancy.test.ts (12): the ledger-fold count, the capacity/full gate, and the
reserved-subscriber-spots model — never double-count a parked subscriber, reserve
tightens only the TRANSIENT gate.
- pay-station.test.ts (12): quote math against the frozen tariff, the signed-payment
side effect (+ chain verify), no-session / no-tariff errors, the booth lookup view,
active-session listing.
- exit-flow.test.ts (9): the GATE — refuse unknown / unpaid / grace-expired (no exit
signed); a paid-within-grace session signs the exit; the booth transient path has NO
subscription bypass; a prepaid subscriber leaves via the assist (reopenBarrier) path.
- shift-service.test.ts (14): site-wide single-open invariant, the takings SPLIT by
source (subscription sales vs out-of-window vs transient tickets), drawer carry-
forward + cash_in/out vouchers, Z-report sign + listShifts read-back.
- entry-flow.test.ts (5): the exported validateTicketCode Luhn typo-guard. (The
capacity-gate/print-hold/sign-before-open paths need device fakes — covered in the
device + route phases.)
Adds test-helpers.ts (real EventLog, silent logger, tariff seeder). server 68/68 green.
Note: apps/vision has 2 PRE-EXISTING failures (test_app.py) — environment drift now
that fast_alpr + the ONNX model are installed (the "stub mode" assertions are stale).
