Closes the three known follow-ups of the Tills decision (venue-modules.md):
- Activity log per till: `tillOfEvent(type, payload)` in @parking/shared (money events
by payload till, other events by their owning module's till, everything else booth),
applied by `/api/events?till=` in SQL and passed by the hub log, the Drawer "today"
panel and the booth feed (history + live pushes). The events route admits a role that
holds a module feed permission without event:read and returns only that module's
event types — the live-socket rule.
- Booth Z-report: `chargesByModuleMinor` sums the chargeLines on the till's payments by
module; the ticket bucket excludes them (Bileta = parking only); printed
"Lavazh (në biletë)" only when any was taken. The wash till's slip prints "Lavazh:".
- Printer role `wash-desk`: the wash till's Z-report and vouchers print there, falling
back to the booth printer; nothing falls back to the desk. `printerRoleOf()` is the
one reading of the role field (the entry/booth loaders treated any non-booth role as
an entry dispenser). Footer label "at wash desk".
Also: `GET /api/carwash/settings` opens to carwash:read OR site:read (new
requireAnyPermission) — the Wash operator job could not load the desk's category and
service pickers. Tests for all four; wiki (shift, printer-roles-failover, venue-modules,
log) updated.

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.

The advisory out-of-window slip for a subscriber had two problems:
1. Faulty character codes. It rendered via the generic text printReport,
which has no CP852 mapping for the em dash, ellipsis, or warning sign in
the composed strings — so they printed as "?" ("PARKIM ? JASHTE ORARIT").
Added ASCII transliterations for that typographic punctuation in the
ESC/POS encoder (— → -, ⚠ → !, … → ..., curly quotes/bullet), so they
degrade to a readable glyph instead of "?".
2. Not scannable. The slip printed only "Nr: SUBSESS-…" as plain text, so
the operator had to hand-key it. Gave the notice its own render function
(renderWindowChargeNotice) + a printWindowChargeNotice device method that
prints the occurrence id as a Code128 AND a QR — the same scan path as a
transient ticket, so the operator scans it straight into the booth pay
modal, which then quotes the combined window charge. Implemented on both
the rongta and cashino drivers.
Also fixed the booth pay modal: "Open barrier" no longer shows by default
for a subscriber. A prepaid subscriber with nothing owed sees only a small
"assist open" reveal (the audited manual open for a faulty reader / lost
card stays available, just not the default). A subscriber owing an
out-of-window charge is now two steps — take payment first, then "Open
barrier" appears — instead of an always-on open button.

After a completed payment the customer always gets a transparency record:
entry time, payment time, duration parked, amount + tender. One shared
ESC/POS renderer (renderReceipt + ReceiptData in @parking/devices), two
modes: VOUCHER = those figures PLUS the scannable Code128 barcode and an
emphasised walk-back-grace line, so the one slip both proves payment and
self-exits at a distant exit reader (replaced the old barcode-only voucher);
STANDALONE = detail-only, auto-printed at payment when no voucher is issued.
Figures fold from the SIGNED ledger (latest payment event); printed on the
booth printer (failover to dispenser). Best-effort: a printer fault never
blocks the exit that already happened — the modal shows a note and offers
"Reprint receipt".
Server: booth-print.ts printPaymentReceipt() + receiptFigures(); routes
POST /api/voucher (voucher) + new POST /api/receipt (standalone/reprint).
Both ESC/POS drivers gained printReceipt(). Web: BoothPayModal auto-prints
after a non-voucher payment + reprint button; api.ts printReceipt().
CP852 fixes found on a real printout: (1) uppercase Ë was mapped to 0xEB
(that's ű) — correct byte is 0xD3; (2) Intl.NumberFormat injects a NO-BREAK
SPACE (U+00A0/U+202F) that isn't in CP852 and printed as "?" — line() now
normalises it to a plain space ("1000 Lekë"); (3) grace line wrapped
mid-word — split into two short lines.
Full build green; both receipt modes render-verified; routes live.

The Cashino 80mm printer reported wrong status: it ran on the `rongta`
driver, whose readStatus() scrapes the Rongta board's /prn_stat.htm status
page — which the Cashino does not serve — yielding a bogus degraded/page-
error verdict while the printer was online and printing fine. Root cause:
the Cashino is an ESC/POS PRINT clone with no trustworthy STATUS mechanism.
Fix: extract the shared ESC/POS rendering + transport (renderTicket/
renderReport/renderSubscriptionCard/sendRaw/probe + CP852 map + code128/
qrCode) from printer-rongta into drivers/printer-escpos.ts, and add a
dedicated `cashino` driver that reuses that print path but is deliberately
NOT MonitorableDevice (no readStatus). isMonitorable() is then false, so the
device monitor falls back to healthCheck() — a plain TCP reachability ping:
reachable -> ready, unreachable -> offline, never a guessed paper/cover
state it cannot sense. Rongta driver unchanged (still scrapes its page,
still monitorable). Register + re-export cashinoDriver.
Verified at runtime (cashino registered, isMonitorable=false, no readStatus,
healthCheck->offline on unreachable) and live: /api/devices/status shows both
printers ready (lane via ping, booth via page). The live entry-dispenser at
10.0.10.9 was switched rongta->cashino in the operator DB (backed up).
Also fix the Albanian device-role chip wording, which read wrong as a
"{category} {role}" label: access mixed "i përzier" -> "hyrje/dalje"
(it means a barrier spanning both directions); printer lane "korsia" ->
"në korsi"; booth "kabina" -> "në kabinë". English tidied to match
(mixed->entry/exit, lane->at lane, booth->at booth).

Builds out subscription credentials on top of the rename.
- Operator chooses the credential type; only QR is live (RFID shown disabled
"soon"). Backend/schema keep accepting both — re-enabling RFID is UI-only.
- QR codes are AUTO-GENERATED server-side (SUB-<base32>, crypto-random,
globally-unique-checked) — the customer/operator never picks the value.
RF stays operator-entered (the physical card id). Reader output decided =
TCP/IP full string (Wiegand-numeric fallback noted).
- Multi-month: form takes a `months` count → server sets validTo =
validFrom + N months (day-clamp); one record/one window; total = N×monthly.
- The QR card is PRINTED so the operator can hand it over: real ESC/POS 2D QR
(GS ( k) added to the Rongta driver (printSubscriptionCard); auto-print on
create (best-effort — never fails the create; returns {printed,printError})
+ reprint via POST /api/subscriptions/:id/print and a "Print code" button.
Verified via buildServer+inject incl. a TCP capture of the on-wire QR bytes
(autogen+uniqueness, Jan31+3mo→Apr30, auto-print, GS ( k QR with embedded
code, reprint, no-QR→409). Updated wiki (subscription, rongta-printer). No
migration.

- 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.
A parking lot is one pool of spaces with a flexible set of entry/exit
points — no "lane". Direction is a property of each RELAY inside an access
controller; readers/cameras bind to a controller relay and inherit it.
Schema:
- drop `lane` from ledger_events, device_events, sessions
- rename lane_devices -> devices (no lane/direction columns)
- access config.relays=[{relay,direction,button?}]; reader/camera
config.controllerId+relay binding
- fresh 0000_baseline migration (history reset; dev data was throwaway)
Signed ledger:
- remove `lane` from canonicalize(); bump signer keyId sw-hmac-v1 -> v2
(v1 events won't verify under v2 — intentional, gated per-event by keyId)
Server:
- new device-resolve.ts (replaces lane-map.ts): relayForButton,
relayForDevice, firstRelayByDirection, devicesByDirection
- entry-flow: button terminal -> its relay; exit/permit: reader's bound
relay; dispatcher resolves the bound relay + inherited direction
- camera snapshots fire by direction site-wide, async, never block open
- DeviceConfig widened to nested JSON for relays[]
Web:
- wizard: no lane selector; add controllers (relay map + entry-button
terminal) first, then bind readers/cameras/printers to a controller relay
Wiki: new entry-exit-points.md (replaces lane-direction); reworked
entry-exit-readers, parking-session, first-run-setup, device-registry,
append-only-event-chain, device-events; removed stale lane/LaneMap mentions.
A shift is two signed ledger events, no mutable table: new shift_open event
type + existing shift_z_report. The operator is the logged-in user (carried in
event identity); a shift is open iff their latest shift event is a shift_open.
ShiftService: close sums payment events in [start,end] by tender (cash/card, by
payment time), appends the signed shift_z_report (totals/counts/window), and
prints via a new generic PrinterDevice.printReport(title, lines) (Rongta ESC/POS
text) to a booth-receipt printer. Print is best-effort — a failed print does not
undo the signed close.
Routes (cashier/operator/admin): GET /api/shift/current, POST /api/shift/open
(409 if open), POST /api/shift/close (409 if none). Web ShiftControl in the
shell (non-readonly): Start/End + Z-report totals.
Verified: open -> double-open 409 -> payments (cash+card; one outside the window
excluded) -> close totals correct + signed + printed -> close-again 409 ->
re-open ok; readonly 403; verifyChain ok.
Add the rongta PrinterDevice driver (ESC/POS over raw TCP 9100) and the
device-agnostic pieces around it:
- Roles + failover: each printer declares a role (entry-dispenser/booth-
receipt) and failoverRank; printer-routing.ts picks the best healthy printer
and falls back outside->booth for entry tickets (never the reverse).
- Live status: MonitorableDevice.readStatus()/PrinterStatus capability. The
Rongta driver scrapes the device's own /prn_stat.htm (Cover/Cutter/Paper
End/Near End/Off-Line) rather than hand-decoding DLE EOT, whose reply bytes
on this clone don't match the canonical ESC/POS bit layout (verified on
hardware) -- avoids a false-healthy. Maps to ready/degraded/offline, fail
safe on an unreachable or unexpected page.
- Server PrinterMonitor polls enabled printers (PRINTER_POLL_MS, default 5s),
caches latest, emits "printer-status" on change. Exposed via
GET /api/printers/status and an SSE stream for the booth UI.
Verified against 10.0.10.6: ready when healthy, offline when unreachable
(no throw), bus emits on change and suppresses unchanged reads.
Wiki: new rongta-printer entity, printer-roles-failover and
printer-status-monitoring concepts; BOM/index/log updated.
