julian a0e0fd9118 Add device discovery (UHPPOTE LAN scan) to setup
UHPPOTE controllers self-announce via UDP broadcast, but the frontend had no way
to find them — the admin had to type the serial blind. Add a generic discovery
capability and surface it in the setup wizard.

packages/devices:
- DiscoverableDriver capability + DiscoveredDevice type + isDiscoverable() guard
  on the registry (optional, so any driver can opt in).
- uhppote driver implements discover() via uhppoted getDevices (UDP broadcast),
  mapping each controller's serial/IP/firmware into a DiscoveredDevice; extract
  shared buildCtx().

apps/server:
- GET /api/setup/discover/:driverId (admin-only): runs discover() and
  health-checks each found device so reachability shows before assigning.
- catalog now returns a `discoverable` driver-id list.

apps/web:
- SetupWizard "Scan for controllers" button for discoverable drivers; lists found
  devices with health badges; selecting one auto-fills serial + host. api client
  gains discoverDevices().

wiki: new device-discovery concept; cross-link from registry/setup/uhppote;
note the broadcast-permission (EACCES) deployment caveat; index + log.

Verified: catalog flags uhppote discoverable; discover runs and fails gracefully
without hardware; non-discoverable driver -> 400; missing token -> 401.

Index

Content catalog for the wiki. Start at overview. Maintained on every ingest. Counts: 1 source · 14 entities · 10 concepts · 2 decision records.

Overview & navigation

  • overview — the top-level synthesis and entry point.
  • index — this catalog.
  • log.md — chronological record of ingests/queries/lints.

Sources

Entities — technology stack

  • technology-stack — the full stack table; all MIT/Apache/BSD, chosen to avoid lock-in.
  • fastify — Node backend; hosts device-driver plugins + auth; serves the SPA.
  • sqlite — local single-writer DB (WAL); limits & why it fits.
  • drizzle-orm — ORM; schemas port to PostgreSQL for remote sync.
  • turborepo — monorepo tool.
  • react-vite-spa — React/Vite frontend served by Fastify.
  • local-jwt-auth — fully local auth (JWT + bcrypt + role guard); forced by offline-first.

Entities — rejected alternatives

  • payload-cms — strong, but rejected over BSL license shift (the rug-pull cautionary case).
  • refine — dropped for plain React; UI too simple to justify a framework.
  • logto-zitadel-oidc — OIDC providers ruled out by offline-first.

Entities — hardware & devices

  • uhppote-controller — current access controller; cheap, tamper-evident, open-UDP, fixed firmware.
  • esp32-custom-controller — prevention-grade upgrade; device-level auth.
  • atecc608 — secure element; non-extractable signing key (host events + controller auth).
  • wiegand — reader standard feeding the controller directly (autonomous permit-holder path).
  • lpr-camera — edge-AI plate recognition; host-side casual-identity source.
  • bom — reference bill of materials (barrier, loops, controller, readers, payment, host, network).

Concepts — foundational forces

  • offline-first — no network dependency in core operation; what it forces (and doesn't).
  • threat-model — the operator-at-the-booth reframing; why encryption defends the wrong threat.

Concepts — integrity & anti-fraud

Concepts — device architecture & safety

  • device-adapter-pattern — business logic talks to interfaces; swap hardware → new adapter.
  • device-registry — catalog of selectable drivers per category (admin-configurable).
  • first-run-setup — admin assigns devices per lane from the catalog at install.
  • device-discovery — optional driver capability to scan the LAN (UHPPOTE UDP broadcast).
  • barrier-not-a-door — never timed-close a barrier; safety lives in barrier firmware.
  • trust-boundary — the core fork: network vs. device; auditable vs. unforgeable.
  • fail-state-safety — entry fails closed, exit fails open; manual override; watchdog.

Concepts — access control

Decisions

  • standing-decisions — settled decisions (stack, platform, integrity, access control, readers).
  • open-questions — 7 open items (6 procurement + JWT key choice); ESP32 device auth deferred.
