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.

[2026-06-14] ingest | Parking System — Architecture & Design Notes
First source ingested. Bootstrapped wiki scaffolding (CLAUDE.md schema, index.md, overview.md, log.md). Created source summary, 14 entity pages, 9 concept pages, and decision records (settled decisions + 6 open questions). Source is a dense design doc covering stack, threat model, device architecture, UHPPOTE access control, the custom ESP32 controller alternative, readers, and a reference BOM.
[2026-06-15] decision | JWT key choice + ESP32 deferred
From app work, not a new source. Added open-questions #7 (symmetric vs.
asymmetric JWT signing key — raised by the commit security review; prefer RS256/EdDSA
so verifying hosts hold only a public key, mirroring the ATECC608 / challenge-response
property). Marked esp32-custom-controller status: deferred per decision not to
implement device-level auth for now (access control stays on UHPPOTE + network
isolation); noted in open-questions #6. Updated local-jwt-auth (hardened secret
handling + 8h expiry, asymmetric-key pointer) and the index.
[2026-06-15] decision | Device-agnostic registry + first-run setup
From app work. Made the device-adapter-pattern selectable: added a
device-registry (catalog of drivers per category) and a first-run-setup
flow so the admin picks a device per lane at install. Categories: access
(ZKTeco / ESP32 relay), reader (Wiegand / TCP-IP), camera (Hikvision / Dahua,
snapshot-on-event), printer. Added a CameraDevice interface; new lane_devices
setup_statetables (migration 0001); admin-only setup endpoints. Stub drivers for now (no real vendor protocols yet). Verified catalog + assign + validation + auth end to end.
[2026-06-15] decision | UHPPOTE library chosen + real driver
Researched Node options for the UHPPOTE controller. Chose the official
uhppoted npm package (MIT, actively maintained, full API incl. openDoor,
get-event(s)/event-index, set-listener, restore-default — covers the whole
event-log-ingestion design). Rejected: raw-dgram DIY (reinvents the lib),
node-red-contrib-uhppoted (wrong model), Go REST sidecar (extra runtime). Added
it to @parking/devices and implemented a real uhppote uhppote-controller
access driver (pulseOpen→openDoor, healthCheck→getStatus), registered in the
catalog. CJS interop: default-import + destructure. Verified it builds, appears
in the catalog, and degrades to "offline" gracefully without hardware. Real
on-VLAN test still pending.
[2026-06-15] feature | Device discovery (UHPPOTE scan in setup)
The frontend had no way to find a UHPPOTE — but the controllers self-announce via
UDP broadcast. Added a generic device-discovery capability: optional
DiscoverableDriver.discover() on the registry, implemented by the uhppote
driver via getDevices. New admin-only GET /api/setup/discover/:driverId
(health-checks each found device); catalog now returns a discoverable list.
SetupWizard gains a "Scan for controllers" button that lists found devices with
health badges and auto-fills serial + host on selection. Verified: catalog flags
uhppote; discover runs and fails gracefully without hardware (broadcast EACCES);
non-discoverable driver → 400; no token → 401. Modeled generically so cameras
(ONVIF) can add discovery later.
[2026-06-15] test+blocker | UHPPOTE hardware bring-up + entry-flow blocker
Brought up the real UHPPOTE (serial 225088491, fw 09120) end to end. Fixed the networking path: WSL2 mirrored mode, then driver bugs — subnet-directed broadcast (the lib doesn't enable SO_BROADCAST for global 255.255.255.255), broadcast must match the target's subnet for unicast reply routing (health-check timeout fix), multi-subnet discovery, and serialized I/O (concurrent calls collided on :60001). Added .env loading (Node --env-file), env-gated+fail-closed SETUP_AUTH_BYPASS, and an authBypass flag so the wizard drops the token field. Test scripts in apps/server/scripts/ (uhppote-listen, uhppote-relay).
VERIFIED on hardware: discovery; host-commanded openDoor doors 1&2 (physical + reason="remote open door"); button presses live (reason="push button ok").
BLOCKER FOUND: the controller push-button input auto-opens the relay in firmware — no command to report-without-opening — so ticket-first entry (button→print→open) 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. Recorded in access-controller-button-flow + zkteco-controller. Entry-lane hardware decision paused to focus on the business side.
