fix(reader): correct the QR reader's identity — Dingtian DT-008, not "GEE"
An early wrong assumption named the QR/RFID access reader "GEE" /
"GEE/Fondvision" / "GEE-QR-ER80" (and summarized a raw GEE PDF as its
datasheet). There is no GEE device — it's the Dingtian DT-008
(dingtian-tech.com/en_us/qr_code_reader.html), the same vendor as the relay
board, which is why it integrates the identical HTTP-GET-push way.

Code:
- Driver symbol geeQrReaderDriver → dingtianQrReaderDriver; label →
  "Dingtian DT-008 QR/RFID reader (HTTP push)"; comments/description rewritten
  to the real DT-008 facts (Wiegand 26/34, TCP/IP, USB, RS485 — not RS-232;
  QR/barcode + ID/IC/NFC — not DataMatrix/1D).
- Persisted driverId "gee-qr-reader" → "dingtian-qr-reader" (the registry
  lookup key + the row created on assign in qr-reader.ts).
- Migration 0015 rewrites existing devices.driver_id rows so configured readers
  keep resolving (applied to the dev DB — 2 rows; the booth applies it on boot).
  Behaviour is unchanged: naming + the persisted id only.

Wiki + memory:
- Renamed entities/gee-qr-er80.md → dingtian-dt008-reader.md and
  sources/gee-qr-er80.md → dingtian-dt008.md; rewrote both to the real DT-008
  product-page specs while KEEPING all the verified-on-hardware protocol facts
  (cjihao serial, .jsp path, Connection: close). Fixed every cross-reference +
  "GEE" mention in 6 other pages. Memory gee-reader-serial-binding →
  dingtian-reader-serial-binding. The only surviving "GEE" mentions are
  deliberate naming-correction notes, the raw PDF filename, and the
  append-only log history.

Full workspace build/lint/test green; dev DB readers verified resolving to the
registered dingtian-qr-reader driver.

Entry / Exit Readers

There are two populations of users, and they map to two integration paths. (See parking-system-architecture §8.)

  • Permit holders / subscribers — want hands-free/quick entry. Best served by reads reaching the controller directly (wiegand) so it can decide autonomously (works if host is down).
  • Casual / transient — printed ticket, pay-on-exit, or plate recognition. Inherently host-side identity sources (lpr-camera, QR/ticket scanner).

How reads reach the system

Reader type Who sees the read Decision by Offline autonomy
wiegand reader → UHPPOTE port The controller Controller (onboard card list) Yes — works if host down
Pure TCP/IP reader Host only Host, then UDP open to relay No — host on critical path
[[lpr-camera LPR]] / QR scanner Host only Host
**[[dingtian-dt008-reader Dingtian DT-008]] QR reader** Host only Host (reads serial → read bus)

Concrete host-side reader on hand: the dingtian-dt008-reader (QR/RFID over HTTP push). Note autonomy is moot here anyway — the current relay (dingtian-relay) has no onboard card list, so even a Wiegand reader would be host-decided. So we take the serial/QR path straight to the host's read bus.

Key points

  • Pure network readers are invisible to the uhppote-controller — it only generates events for its own terminals. For a pure-TCP reader, only the host can listen/decide/command; the controller is demoted to a commanded relay (onboard card DB + offline autonomy bypassed).
  • Check for a Wiegand output first — many "network" readers have both; wiring Wiegand in keeps autonomy + native event log.
  • Both models can share one relay (valid Wiegand read or host open in "controlled" mode), so one lane serves permit + casual.
  • Each reader BINDS to a controller relay (config.controllerId + relay) — the barrier it sits at — and inherits that relay's direction (entry/exit/both). An exit read opens exactly that relay; an entry read the entry relay. This is how separate in/out readers are disambiguated, with no "lane". See entry-exit-points.
  • Host-in-the-loop is good for fraud detection — two independent records (host's signed append-only-event-chain entry + the UHPPOTE remote-open event) should reconcile 1:1; any mismatch is an anomaly.

Autonomy caveat: with remote-host control enabled, the controller expects host comms every ~30 s or reverts to local control (Wiegand-on-board lanes only).
