Groundwork for the Car Wash pilot (wiki/decisions/venue-modules.md, build-order
steps 1 + 3). No Car Wash code yet; validation is the first module behind the
seam, unchanged in behaviour.
- @parking/shared: MODULE_IDS, ModuleManifest, MODULES (parking required;
validation dependsOn parking), parseEntitledModules / resolveModuleActivation
/ effectiveModules as pure functions.
- DB: site_config.modules_json (migration 0026, hand-written + journal;
additive, nullable = everything entitled).
- Server: modules.ts (entitledModules from MODULES_ENTITLED env, activated
from site_config, effective set, requireModule preHandler → 403
module_disabled); modules/index.ts registers folder-based modules by
iterating the registry (modules/validation); site-config GET exposes
modules/modulesEntitled/modulesActivated, PUT takes the full desired set,
enforces entitlement + dependency rules (400 with reason) and signs one
config_change per module that actually flips; /api/auth/me carries the
effective set; validation routes guarded requireModule → requirePermission.
- Web: lib/modules.ts + modules/{index,validation}; router.tsx spreads
WEB_MODULES into nav + route tree (validate route no longer named there);
Setup → Site "Modules" panel (required shown disabled, dependencies as
hints, server refusal shown verbatim); validation sections + programs fetch
gated on the module; App invalidates the router whenever the session
changes (route-context consumers only re-read on navigation — the nav was
stale after a flip, and after every other setUser too).
- Lavazh validation station retired (STATIONS = ["bar"]; rows untouched).
- Deploy: MODULES_ENTITLED=parking,validation explicit in both booth stacks;
documented in .env.example.
- Tests: modules.test.ts (7); suite 329/329; web build clean; Playwright
round-trip on /setup/site verified live.

Retention (keep-last / keep-daily-days) is operational policy the on-site admin
should tune, not a server env var requiring a redeploy -- same reasoning that moved
the target directory to the UI.
- Migration 0017: site_config.backup_keep_last + backup_keep_daily_days (nullable;
null = code default 7 / 30 per field).
- BackupService reads retention fresh each run; status() exposes keepLast +
keepDailyDays. DEFAULT_BACKUP_RETENTION is now a pure code default (env reads gone).
- PUT /api/backup/config accepts keepLast / keepDailyDays (non-negative int, or null
to reset to default; 400 on negative).
- UI: two retention fields on the Backup config card; one Save covers target +
retention. i18n sq + en.
BACKUP_KEY wired into Komodo:
- komodo/resources.toml: BACKUP_KEY=[[park_buzi_backup_key]] (per-booth secret,
alongside JWT / signing keys).
- komodo/.env.komodo.example: documents it as the ONLY backup env var -- escrow it
offsite alongside EVENT_SIGNING_KEY (recovery needs both); target + retention are
admin-chosen in the UI / DB, not env. Server .env.example trimmed to just BACKUP_KEY.
Also carries the small in-progress setup-intro i18n copy trim.
Tests: 218 server tests green, incl. retention persist / reset-to-default / reject-
negative and the updated status shape. Migration applies cleanly (needed a
statement-breakpoint between the two ALTERs). Wiki backup-recovery updated.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xcm6ikLgGoCxxHrxtjkk5V
The backup destination is now chosen by the on-site admin in the UI (Setup ->
Backup), not a server env var. An env-pinned target defeats the purpose: the admin
can't point backups at a freshly-plugged USB or a NAS mount without editing .env
and restarting. The encryption key stays a server secret.
Target storage:
- New site_config.backup_target_dir (migration 0016, nullable; null = not
configured). BackupService reads it fresh each run, so a UI change takes effect
with no restart. Only BACKUP_KEY stays env -- a key must never live in the DB it
backs up.
Routes:
- PUT /api/backup/config -- set/clear the target (backup:update; upserts id=1).
- POST /api/backup/test -- probe a candidate path server-side (exists / is a
directory / writable) so the admin gets feedback before relying on it.
- status() now exposes targetDir + keyPresent, so the UI distinguishes
'no target set' from 'BACKUP_KEY missing'.
UI (apps/web/src/BackupSettings.tsx):
- A Setup -> Backup tab (gated backup:read): an editable target-path field with a
Test-target probe (localized ok/missing/not-a-dir/not-writable), Save, the status
panel (config state, last-run size/pruned/error, a distinct amber missing-key
warning), a Back up now button, and the restore-is-out-of-band note. Full i18n
(sq + en); nav.backup.
- API client: fetchBackupStatus / setBackupTarget / testBackupTarget / runBackup.
Also includes a small in-progress copy trim to the setup-intro i18n strings.
Verified live with Playwright: typed a path -> Test reported writable -> Save
persisted it -> status reflected it and showed the key-missing warning. Whole
monorepo build/lint/test green. Wiki backup-recovery + open-question #5 updated.

The SQLite DB is the signed append-only ledger, so a disk failure / stolen or
destroyed PC means total revenue-history loss (open-question #5). This is the first
slice of the backup-recovery design: the engine + a local/mounted target + a daily
timer + a manual route.
Engine (apps/server/src/backup.ts):
- Consistent online copy of the live WAL DB via better-sqlite3's native .backup()
(not a raw file copy, which can capture a torn WAL) — the restored copy is a
byte-identical, queryable DB.
- AES-256-GCM with a scrypt-derived key from BACKUP_KEY; self-describing header
(magic|version|salt|iv|...|authTag) so a restore tool needs only the key + file.
Zero new dependencies (Node crypto).
- The plaintext intermediate is kept in scratch (not the removable/network target)
and wiped in a finally, success or fail.
- Retention: keep-last-N + one-per-day within N days.
Wiring:
- BackupService (env config, single in-flight guard, last-success/last-error).
- routes/backup.ts: GET /api/backup/status (backup:read), POST /api/backup/run
(backup:create), 409 when unconfigured. No restore route — restore is an
out-of-band runbook action on a fresh appliance, not a console call.
- New permission resource in @parking/shared.
- server.ts: an unref'd daily timer, a no-op until BACKUP_TARGET_DIR + BACKUP_KEY
are set, deliberately not run at startup (a just-power-cut booth shouldn't write
to a possibly-unmounted disk).
- openRawDb() added to @parking/db/testing (open a file without migrating, for
restore-verification tests).
BACKUP_KEY is deliberately SEPARATE from EVENT_SIGNING_KEY (independent rotation;
backups travel, the signing key shouldn't). SMB/NFS work as mount paths; SFTP +
admin UI + restore runbook are deferred slices. Tests: round-trip byte-identical,
GCM tamper/wrong-key fail, short-key rejected, scratch cleaned, route auth/RBAC +
409. build/lint/test green (212 server tests). Wiki + open-question #5 updated.

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).
- New: apps/server/src/anpr-entry.ts (AnprBridge) + tests (9)
- hikvision-alarm.ts hands vehicle detections to the bridge (fire-and-forget) + wiring tests (3)
- server.ts reorders the read flows above the hik-alarm registration
- snapshot.ts exports buildCamera for reuse
- env: VISION_ENTRY_MIN_CONFIDENCE (0.85), ANPR_DEBOUNCE_MS (12000)
- site route + SiteSettings checkbox + i18n (sq/en parity)

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).

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
integration: delete -> can't-login -> restore -> login, purge, gating,
409 reuse). server 103/103; build+lint+test 19/19.

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).

Point the Tauri updater at the real self-hosted Gitea "latest release" path:
https://git.infra.msai.al/mca/parking_solution/releases/latest/download/latest.json
— redirects to the newest tag's latest.json published by release.yml. Verified
against tauri-plugin-updater: it GETs the endpoint (200 + manifest / 204 = up to
date) and reads platforms.linux-x86_64.{signature,url}.
Document the desktop WS origin: the Tauri window loads from tauri://localhost
(Linux may also send http://tauri.localhost), which is NOT same-origin with the
backend, so WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS must include both or the live feed won't connect.
Added both to apps/server/.env.example.
Updated the as-built in wiki/decisions/desktop-shell-tauri.md. Also carries an
unrelated plans.namePlaceholder copy tweak already in the tree. turbo build lint
14/14 green.

Rework the ANPR trigger to the real design: when a transient presses the button or a
subscriber passes QR/RFID, the entry/exit fires and takes its evidence snapshot — that
is the moment to recognize. snapshotAsync now takes the VisionClient and, after storing
each snapshot from an opt-in (config.anpr) camera, runs ANPR on the SAME image and
records the plate against the SAME session identity (device_events kind:"read" with
plate/confidence/region/snapshotId/source:"entry-exit-snapshot"). One image serves both
evidence and plate extraction; recognition fires only on a real entry/exit — no polling.
The entry/exit/subscription flows take an optional VisionClient and pass it through;
server.ts wires it. Removed the polling VisionReader and VISION_POLL_MS/VISION_DEDUPE_MS.
Advisory + fire-and-forget: a low-confidence/no-plate result records nothing, a vision
failure never delays or changes the open, and the plate does not feed the access
decision. Verified e2e: a simulated entry snapshot on an anpr camera (live fast_alpr)
stored the snapshot for the session and recorded {identity, plate:AA558EE, 0.999,
region:Albania, snapshotId}. Build + lint green.

Make the vision service genuinely configurable (was env-only).
- SetupWizard: an "ANPR" checkbox on the camera form (writes config.anpr; persisted
only when on; sq+en) — opt-in is no longer raw JSON.
- DeviceMonitor optionally takes the VisionClient and probes /health each tick, emitting
a "vision" pseudo-device → a Vision chip (ready/degraded/offline + recognizer) in the
booth footer when VISION_ENABLED, no chip when off. Widened the DeviceStatus category
union (server + web) + footer maps + devices.catVision. Verified: ready/fast_alpr when
up, 0 chips when disabled.
- apps/vision/.env.example (Python service) + a VISION_* block in apps/server/.env.example
(Node side) + a Configuration section in opencv-anpr-service.md covering all four
layers and the caveats: the two processes share the VISION_ prefix but need SEPARATE
.env files; bind /analyze to 127.0.0.1; cache model weights at deploy; an unbound anpr
camera recognizes but every read is refused.
Build + lint green.

Add @fastify/websocket. EventLog fires an onAppended callback after each durable
append; device-events gains a ledger channel (emitLedger). /api/ws fans out
ledger + occupancy + printer-status to authenticated booth clients. Origin
allowlist (WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS) replaces CSRF for the handshake (anti-CSWSH).
Note: server.ts also reflects later booth route wiring; the final HEAD builds.
- site_config gains optional park identity (park_name, operator_name, nius,
address, phone, email); additive Drizzle migration 0001. GET/PUT
/api/site-config read/write the full config (PUT partial patch, admin only);
SiteSettings + SetupWizard expose the fields.
- renderTicket() prints an Albanian header sourced from site_config, the
all-numeric 13-digit ticket id (12 random + Luhn) as Code128, large digits,
and a lost-ticket footer. CP852 codepage so ë/ç render.
- Widen the Code128 module width 2->3 and height 80->100 dots so the
short-range "Simple" QR/barcode reader decodes reliably (was barely reading
at module width 2 on the 80mm head).
See wiki/concepts/site-metadata.md and ticket-encoding.md.
Replace the dev-only token shim with real authentication.
Backend:
- @fastify/cookie; JWT carried in an HttpOnly + SameSite=Strict cookie
(parking_token), read from the cookie not the Authorization header.
- Double-submit CSRF: readable parking_csrf cookie + X-CSRF-Token header, both
cross-checked against a csrf claim baked into the JWT; enforced on mutations.
- Routes: POST /api/auth/login (bcrypt, constant-time-ish), POST logout,
GET me. requireRole now verifies the cookie + CSRF + role.
- seed-admin script (pnpm --filter @parking/server seed-admin) for the first
admin; no bootstrap endpoint.
- Removed SETUP_AUTH_BYPASS and catalog.authBypass entirely; setup endpoints
use the cookie admin guard like everything else.
Frontend:
- apiFetch wrapper: credentials:'include' + X-CSRF-Token on mutations.
- Login form; App gates on /api/auth/me and only shows setup to admins; logout.
- Wizard token field removed (auth is the session cookie).
Deploy:
- deploy/nginx.conf: prod reverse proxy, SPA + /api same-origin, TLS, so the
Secure cookies work. Dev stays same-origin via the Vite proxy.
Verified (curl + browser): wrong pass -> 401; login sets cookies; me -> admin;
assign without CSRF -> 403, with -> 201; no cookie -> 401; session persists
across reload. wiki/local-jwt-auth updated.
Brought up the real UHPPOTE controller (serial 225088491, fw 09120) end to end
and recorded a procurement-level blocker.
Verified on hardware:
- discovery (LAN scan), host-commanded openDoor on doors 1 & 2 (physically
actuated; reason="remote open door"), and live button capture
(reason="push button ok").
Driver/networking fixes (packages/devices/src/drivers/access-uhppote.ts):
- broadcast to subnet-directed address (lib doesn't enable SO_BROADCAST for the
global 255.255.255.255 -> EACCES);
- Config broadcast must match the target's subnet for unicast reply routing
(fixes the health-check timeout: 5s -> 24ms ready);
- discover across all local subnets, dedupe by serial;
- serialize all controller I/O (concurrent calls collided on UDP :60001).
Server/UX:
- load .env via node --env-file-if-exists (vars weren't being read before);
- SETUP_AUTH_BYPASS hardened: env-gated, dev + loopback only, fails closed
otherwise; surfaced as catalog.authBypass so the wizard drops the token field;
- .env.example documents all vars; inline favicon stops a 404.
- apps/server/scripts/: uhppote-listen (live events, restores prior listener)
and uhppote-relay (guarded door-open test).
BLOCKER (wiki/decisions/access-controller-button-flow.md): the controller's
push-button input auto-opens the relay in firmware with no report-without-open
mode, so ticket-first entry (button -> print -> open, fail-closed) is impossible
as wired. UHPPOTE can't do it on that input; ZKTeco *might* via a programmable
aux input + PULL SDK but that's unverified and needs a new driver. Entry-lane
hardware decision paused to focus on the business side.
wiki: access-controller-button-flow (blocker), zkteco-controller (stub +
assessment), uhppote-controller callout, index + log.
Security review flagged a hardcoded JWT secret fallback. A booth machine
started without JWT_SECRET would have signed tokens with a publicly-known
default, letting anyone forge an admin token — defeating the local-auth
anti-fraud model.
- requireJwtSecret() refuses to start on a missing, <32-char, or placeholder
secret (no insecure default).
- Add sign.expiresIn: 8h so minted tokens expire (bound to a shift).
- Add apps/server/.env.example documenting JWT_SECRET + how to generate it.
Verified: refuses with no secret and with the old placeholder; boots and
serves /health with a valid `openssl rand -hex 32` secret.
