# Wiki Log Append-only chronological record. Each entry: `## [YYYY-MM-DD] | `. Query with `grep "^## \[" log.md | tail -5`. ## [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_state` tables (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. ## [2026-06-15] feature | Cookie-based auth/authz (login, CSRF) Built real authentication: bcrypt login → JWT in an HttpOnly+SameSite=Strict cookie, readable CSRF cookie + X-CSRF-Token header (double-submit) on mutations, role-guarded routes. Routes: /api/auth/{login,logout,me}. First admin seeded via `pnpm --filter @parking/server seed-admin`. Removed the SETUP_AUTH_BYPASS shim and the wizard token field; the SPA gates on /api/auth/me and only shows setup to admins. Same-origin via the Vite dev proxy and a new prod nginx config (deploy/nginx.conf). Verified end to end (curl + browser): wrong pass→401, login→cookies set, me→admin, assign without CSRF→403 / with→201, no cookie→401, session persists across reload. Updated [[local-jwt-auth]]. ## [2026-06-15] lint+docs | Dev-environment pages (WSL networking, workflow) Captured hard-won dev knowledge that was only in commit messages: new [[wsl-dev-networking]] (WSL2 NAT blocks UDP broadcast → mirrored mode + the multi-interface / subnet-broadcast / IPv6-localhost gotchas that remained) and [[local-dev-workflow]] (setup, seed:admin, the dev-server-hang from the broken strip-types script → tsx, the 127.0.0.1 proxy fix, .env loading). Corrected the earlier "broadcast permission (EACCES)" note in [[device-discovery]] — the real cause was the lib not enabling SO_BROADCAST for the global 255.255.255.255; documented the three verified broadcast gotchas + serialization. Added a `reference` page type to the schema; new "Dev environment" index section. ## [2026-06-15] decision | Dingtian relay chosen; HTTP over MQTT; unmanned direction New relay+input controller on hand (Dingtian 4ch). Its inputs are decoupled from relays (configurable via input_link_relay) — solves the [[access-controller-button-flow]] blocker the UHPPOTE couldn't. Transport decision [[dingtian-vs-mqtt]]: direct HTTP/UDP now (UDP string for relay control on :60001; device input_link_url HTTP push for button events), MQTT skipped (broker = infra + failure mode + overkill at this scale) but kept for later multi-lane scale. Recorded the stated roadmap to **fully unmanned, no-booth** operation in [[autonomous-direction]] and its threat-model shift (operator-fraud → unattended-machine threats). New stub [[dingtian-relay]] with the full protocol from the SDK. Driver + on-hardware test still to build. ## [2026-06-15] driver+test | Dingtian driver built; button blocker RESOLVED Built the `dingtian` access driver (AccessControlDevice relay control + InputDevice poll-based button events + new PreconditionDevice capability). Verified end to end on real hardware (DT-R004 @ 10.0.10.172, HTTP config on :8080, UDP control :60001): status read, relay pulse, input press/release. Disabled `input_link_relay` via the driver's fixPreconditions (GET config → flag 0 + clear maps → POST config_set), then confirmed: pressing inputs now fires NO relay (0000 status) — host-in-the-loop entry works. The [[access-controller-button-flow]] blocker is RESOLVED. Gotcha recorded in [[dingtian-relay]]: config_set requires injecting "command":"setconfig" after "status" (GET omits it) or the write silently no-ops. Added httpPort config field (port 8080 ≠ default 80). Test script apps/server/scripts/dingtian-test.mjs. Next: input HTTP-push endpoint + wiring input→ticket→pulseOpen. ## [2026-06-15] cleanup | Remove UHPPOTE/ZKTeco code; wiki → rejected/historical Neither UHPPOTE nor ZKTeco is used (Dingtian chosen). Removed their code: deleted access-uhppote.ts, uhppoted.d.ts, access.ts (zkteco/esp32 stubs), the three uhppote-*.mjs scripts; dropped the `uhppoted` npm dep from both packages; unregistered uhppote/zkteco/esp32-relay from the driver registry; updated example comments. Catalog access drivers now = dingtian only. Build green. Wiki: kept the pages but marked [[uhppote-controller]] + [[zkteco-controller]] rejected/historical, [[uhppote-vs-esp32]] historical; re-pointed all "current device" framing (standing-decisions, bom, overview, open-questions) to [[dingtian-relay]]; noted no current driver uses [[device-discovery]]. Transferable concepts (network-isolation, event-log-ingestion, barrier-not-a-door, threat-model) kept as-is. Links lint clean; raw source untouched (immutable). ## [2026-06-15] feature | Dingtian input HTTP-push → backend (no polling) Wired the device's "Input Link URL" feature so it HTTP-pushes button events to our backend — no polling. Driver `configureInputPush()` writes input_link_url (per-input server/port/path, en=1, active-LOW, plain HTTP) via the config API (reusing the #writeConfig + command:setconfig helper). New backend route `routes/devices.ts`: public `GET/POST /api/devices/dingtian/:deviceId/input/:n/{on,off}` → emits onto an internal device-events bus (device-events.ts, EventEmitter) for the entry flow to consume. VERIFIED on hardware: configured device, real presses on all 4 inputs pushed to the backend (input N on+off, source = device IP). Trust model recorded in [[device-input-flow]]: flat network / no VLAN → backend is source of truth, every open is a signed event (out-of-band open = anomaly); push endpoint not behind cookie auth (machine call), shared-secret available as defence-in-depth. Next: wire signed event + ticket print + pulseOpen. ## [2026-06-15] feature | Dingtian push auth via HTTP Digest (hardware-tested) Secured the device→backend input push. Empirically tested auth options on the device: HTTPS-to-self-signed FAILS, Basic works, **Digest works** → chose Digest (MD5, qop=auth): password never on the wire, single-use nonces. Backend digest-auth.ts (challenge/verify) + source-IP allowlist on the push route; per-device pushUser/pushPassword generated on assign, written to the device and stored in lane_devices (admin never types a URL/secret). Driver configureInputPush now sets auth=2 + creds; the assign flow auto-configures the device and persists the creds (net.ts derives the backend IP on the device's subnet). Removed the earlier URL-token approach (token in URL is sniffable/logged). TWO HARD-WON DEVICE BUGS fixed: (1) config_set requires an explicit Content-Length — the device silently ignores chunked bodies (Node's default), which masqueraded as "writes don't apply" all session; (2) the `pass` field caps at 31 chars → use a 24-char password. Driver #writeConfig now polls-until-verified (device reboots on apply). VERIFIED on hardware: assign auto-configures the device, then all 4 inputs push with Digest auth, zero failures. Recorded in [[device-input-flow]]. ## [2026-06-15] feature | Setup wizard: Test connection + Save & configure Two-step device setup UX. New admin-only POST /api/setup/test (healthCheck + checkPreconditions, no save / no device change). The assign (Save) step now also fixes preconditions (disables input_link_relay) before configuring push — closing a gap where assigned devices could still auto-fire relays; fails the save with no DB row if device config fails (no orphan rows). SetupWizard wires the config fields → Test button (health badge + precondition warnings) → Save & configure button. Verified in-browser against the real device: Test shows ● ready + preconditions OK; Save persists the row AND writes the device's Input Link URL (push path matches the saved device id). Admin never logs into the device web UI. Updated [[first-run-setup]]. ## [2026-06-15] feature | Device hardening: binary relay + relay_pw + disable channels Hardened the Dingtian relay control for the flat (no-VLAN) network. Switched pulseOpen from the unauthenticated string protocol (:60001) to the **binary protocol (:60000) with a relay password** — the only authenticated relay option (frame verified on hardware: FF AA 03 ). New HardenableDevice capability: harden() sets a random relay_pw + disables unused channels (rs485/can/tcp×2/mqtt → p:255, keep UDP binary+string). Folded into the assign/Save flow (preconditions → harden → push); relayPassword stored in lane_devices. Verified end to end: assign configures + hardens the device, config API stays reachable, pulseOpen with the stored password fires the relay, without it is rejected. ⚠️ LESSON: enabling the device's HTTP CGI session check (session_en) on this firmware breaks the config-READ API (ECONNRESET) — locked us out, needed a FACTORY RESET to recover. harden() deliberately does NOT touch session_en. The open CGI API is accepted as flat-network reality; the signed log is the real guarantee. Recorded in [[device-input-flow]] + [[dingtian-relay]]. ## [2026-06-14] query | Dingtian web-login rotation + CGI API is unauthenticated While addressing "change the device's default admin/admin", traced the device web UI JS (system.js) → the change-login endpoint is `GET /userset.cgi?&&&&` (response `&0&/&` = success, `&2&/&` = wrong old pw). Added a best-effort `setWebLogin`/`#rotateWebLogin` step to `harden()` (new pw stored back as config `webPassword`, stripped from API responses). KEY FINDING: the device CGI API needs NO authentication — config dump, config write, relay fire, and userset.cgi itself all return 200 unauthenticated (verified on 10.0.10.5). admin/admin gates only the browser UI; there is no inbound-auth setting (only session_en, which bricks the read API). So rotating the login is COSMETIC, not a boundary — the signed event log remains the real guarantee. Recorded in [[dingtian-relay]] (new Hardening section). ## [2026-06-14] ingest | Rongta 80mm printer driver + printer roles/failover - Added `rongta` PrinterDevice driver (ESC/POS over raw TCP 9100); registered in registry. - Decision: ≥2 printers per lane by role (entry-dispenser outside, booth-receipt inside); entry ticket fails over outside→booth (asymmetric — receipts never print outside). - Selection logic lives in packages/devices/printer-routing.ts (orderForRole, printWithFailover). - One unit verified reachable at 10.0.10.6:9100 from host (TCP connect OK). - New pages: [[rongta-printer]], [[printer-roles-failover]]. Updated [[bom]], [[index]]. - Open: all-printers-down policy belongs to the (not-yet-built) entry flow, not the printer layer. ## [2026-06-14] ingest | Live printer status monitoring - Added MonitorableDevice.readStatus()/PrinterStatus capability in packages/devices. - Rongta readStatus() scrapes the device's own /prn_stat.htm (Cover/Cutter/Paper End/Near End/ Off-Line) — chosen over hand-decoding DLE EOT because this clone's DLE EOT bytes don't match the canonical ESC/POS bit layout (verified on hardware; risk of false-healthy). - Server PrinterMonitor: polls enabled monitorable printers (PRINTER_POLL_MS, default 5s), caches latest, emits "printer-status" on change. API: GET /api/printers/status + SSE stream. - Verified live: 10.0.10.6 -> ready (all flags clear); unreachable host -> offline (no throw); bus emits on change, suppresses unchanged. Full repo typechecks (8/8). - New page: [[printer-status-monitoring]]. Updated [[rongta-printer]], [[index]]. - Open: capture the page's actual text for an ACTIVE fault (pull paper / open cover) to confirm the Yes flip; wire degraded/offline into failover + entry-flow all-down policy. ## [2026-06-15] ingest | Multi-instance device setup (add/remove per category) - Confirmed the data model was already multi-instance (lane_devices = one row per instance, assign always inserts); the limitation was UI-only (one slot per category). - Backend: added DELETE /api/setup/assign/:id (unassign); /state now redacts secrets (pushPassword/webPassword/relayPassword) via a shared redactSecrets() also used by /assign. - Web: SetupWizard reworked — each category lists assigned instances (with Remove) + "Add another" form; select-type config fields now render as dropdowns (fixes printer role input). - Verified via Fastify inject: 2 printers assigned to one lane -> both listed, no secret leak, delete -> 204, delete unknown -> 404, count drops to 1. Full repo typechecks (8/8). - Updated [[first-run-setup]]. ## [2026-06-15] ingest | Append-only signed event log (Dingtian input pushes persist) - Q: does the Dingtian push events? -> inputs YES (input_link_url), relay opens NO (device keeps no log). Host is the source of truth; a relay open w/o matching signed event is the anomaly. - Implemented EventLog (apps/server/event-log.ts): serialized append, monotonic index, prevHash chain, signature; verifyChain() detects tamper/reorder/delete. Read: GET /api/events; integrity: GET /api/events/verify (admin). - Signer abstraction (packages/shared) over the ATECC608; SoftwareSigner (HMAC, EVENT_SIGNING_KEY) shipped now since chip wiring is open-question #6. Caveat documented: software signer is tamper-evident but NOT unforgeable-by-owner. - Wired bus -> log: Dingtian input pushes become input_received events (lane mapping TODO). - Added ParkingEventType 'input_received'. - Verified via inject: push w/o digest -> 401; pushes -> 2 signed+chained events; verify -> ok; direct DB tamper -> verifyChain catches at the right index; deleted row -> index gap. 5 concurrent appends -> indices 1..5 intact. Full repo typechecks. - Updated [[append-only-event-chain]], [[dingtian-relay]]. ## [2026-06-15] ingest | Event log + Dingtian string-protocol security fix - Append-only signed event log shipped (EventLog, Signer abstraction over ATECC608 w/ SoftwareSigner HMAC; GET /api/events + /api/events/verify). Dingtian input pushes persist as input_received. Verified on hardware: shorting I1-I4 -> 8 signed+chained events, verifyChain ok. - SECURITY (verified on hardware): the password-less string protocol (udp2) can fire relays ("11" -> relay1 on) with NO auth, bypassing relay_pw. Fixes: status reads moved to authenticated binary read (cmd 0x00); harden() disables udp2 BEST-EFFORT (firmware V3.6J config API refuses, but web UI works) and returns a warning instead of throwing. After web-UI disable, the "11" attack is dead and binary control/status still work. - GAP (user-identified): event log captures host-originated actions only; out-of-band relay actuation (sniffed relay_pw, string protocol, ip_watchdog) produces NO event — proven on hardware. Real control is reconciliation vs. an independent witness; witness+reconciliation NOT yet built. - Device web login (webUser/webPassword) now un-redacted in setup state (admin-only device area); pushPassword/relayPassword stay machine-only. - harden() warnings surfaced via the assign response. - localAddress threaded through the Dingtian driver (device-facing-IP foundation; multi-homed hosts). - INCIDENT: probing default.cgi factory-reset the bench device (now at 192.168.1.100, defaults). Re-provisioning is the ADMIN's job via First-run setup (app must not hardcode site IPs). - Updated [[append-only-event-chain]], [[dingtian-relay]]. ## [2026-06-15] fix | Dingtian web-password: desired-vs-current split + verify + UI warnings - BUG (found in real assign): admin typed a web password; harden used it as the OLD cred, rotation failed silently, DB saved the typed value but device login stayed admin/admin. Also UDP2 warning never reached the admin (frontend discarded the assign response). - FIX: split config into webPassword (desired; blank→random) and webPasswordCurrent (existing old cred, default admin). harden() rotates current→desired, VERIFIES by re-auth with the new pw, and only returns secrets.webPassword on success (else warning, no save). assign strips typed webPassword/webPasswordCurrent and persists only verified secrets. - SetupWizard now shows assign-response warnings (amber banner, per category) — closes the feedback loop for the UDP2-can't-disable case. - Verified on hardware (192.168.1.100): harden set login to a chosen pw; device then rejects admin/admin (&2&) and accepts the chosen pw (&0&). UDP2 warning surfaced as designed. - Updated [[dingtian-relay]]. ## [2026-06-15] update | input_received lane resolution + source semantics - Wired device→lane resolution: `LaneMap` (`apps/server/src/lane-map.ts`) caches `lane_devices.id → lane`, refreshed by setup routes on assign/unassign. `input_received` events now carry the firing device's lane instead of a hardcoded `lane: 0`. Unmapped device → `lane: -1` + warn (0 is a real lane; never mis-stamp). - Documented that `source` stays null for raw inputs by design (it's an IdentitySource, not a device field); device provenance is in `identity`. - Updated [[append-only-event-chain]]. ## [2026-06-15] test+lesson | Hikvision camera verified; multi-subnet source-address trap - Pulled a real snapshot from a Hikvision camera on the bench: `GET http://10.0.10.121/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture`, Digest auth, admin/admin123 → HTTP 200, 2688×1520 JPEG. Path + auth + creds confirmed. ISAPI is the right surface; the device's "Enable Hikvision-CGI" toggle is a *different* legacy CGI API and is NOT needed. - Caveat recorded: the camera driver is still a STUB — the wizard's "● ready — stub / ● preconditions OK" contacts nothing; cameras have no preconditions (only [[dingtian-relay]] implements checkPreconditions). Noted the cosmetic "Backend push IP" bug (camera pulls, doesn't push; field should gate on a `pushesToBackend` capability). - LESSON (cost an hour of "why can't we ping the subnet"): with two device subnets stacked on one NIC (`192.168.1.123` + `10.0.10.203` on eth1), Linux picked the WRONG source address for `10.0.10.x` → ARP shows REACHABLE but all ping/TCP times out. Fix: pin `src` on the connected route (`ip route change /24 dev proto kernel scope link src `), or force source per-call (`ping -I` / `curl --interface`). Devices arrive on assorted static `/24`s; the host carries one IP per subnet — this trap is the recurring cost of that. - Decision context: production is a dedicated hardened **Linux appliance** (this WSL2 box is a dev stand-in). Multi-subnet config + `src` pinning is an appliance deployment concern (made persistent via networkd/netplan), riding on [[network-isolation]]; long-term answer is to re-IP devices onto one planned parking subnet at install. - Updated [[lpr-camera]] (snapshot driver + verified-on-hardware section), [[wsl-dev-networking]] (multi-subnet source-address trap + appliance pattern). ## [2026-06-15] driver+fix | Real Hikvision/Dahua camera driver; push-IP field gated - Replaced the camera STUB with a real `HttpCamera` (`packages/devices/src/drivers/camera.ts`): Hikvision ISAPI (`/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/01/picture`) + Dahua CGI (0-based channel), both over client-side HTTP Digest (new `drivers/http-digest.ts`, two-shot 401→challenge→response, qop=auth MD5 — the client counterpart to the server's digest-auth.ts). `healthCheck()` now actually pulls a frame instead of returning `ready/stub`. Added `localAddress` + `timeoutMs` + `channel` config; threads the device-facing NIC for the multi-subnet trap. - Snapshot interface: `Snapshot` now carries `bytes: Buffer` (driver fetches); `imageRef` is optional and set by the CALLER once stored — keeps the adapter free of storage deps. Nothing consumed captureSnapshot yet, so no migration needed. - Cosmetic bug fixed: "Backend push IP" showed for any reachable host. Added a `pushesToBackend` flag to `DeviceDriver` (only [[dingtian-relay]] sets it), exposed as `pushCapable` in the catalog (mirrors `discoverable`), and gated both the wizard's backend-IP fetch and the field on it. Cameras/printers/readers no longer show it. - VERIFIED on hardware: built clean (5/5 packages); ran the real driver against the Hikvision at 10.0.10.121 → healthCheck ready, captureSnapshot returned a valid 322 KB JPEG (correct magic). - Updated [[lpr-camera]]. ## [2026-06-15] fix | Permanent WSL2 source-address fix (systemd hook) - The multi-subnet source-address trap kept recurring (every `wsl --shutdown` wipes the runtime `ip route` pin — mirrored mode re-clones the Windows NIC's addresses fresh each boot, and NOTHING inside Linux owns them: networkd/NM/netplan all inactive). Made it permanent on the dev box. - `deploy/wsl-fix-route-source.sh`: walks each `proto kernel scope link` route on the NIC and pins `src` to the host's own address in that same subnet — no hardcoded IPs (covers future device subnets), idempotent, preserves route metric, non-fatal per route. `deploy/parking-net.service`: oneshot, enabled, reapplies on every boot. - BUGS hit + fixed while building it: (1) `ip route change` errors `RTNETLINK: No such file` when the route isn't up yet at boot → use `replace`; (2) `set -e` made one failed `ip` abort the whole unit → dropped it, per-route warnings instead; (3) `network.target` fires before mirrored-mode addresses land → script waits up to 15s for a route. - VERIFIED: service enabled+active, journal shows `pinned 10.0.10.0/24 -> src 10.0.10.203`, camera pings with NO -I flag (0% loss), and the real Hikvision driver pulls a snapshot with NO `localAddress` set. Root cause noted as Windows-side (stray 192.168.1.x); this is the self-contained Linux answer. - Updated [[wsl-dev-networking]]. ## [2026-06-15] design | Business layer kickoff — parking session model - Pivoted from the (hardware-verified) device/integrity layer to the business domain. Wiki-first. - KEY DECISION: a [[parking-session]] is a PROJECTION over the signed [[append-only-event-chain]], never a mutable table — a mutable sessions row with paid/owed would reopen the operator-fraud hole the whole system closes. "Paid" = a signed `payment` event (unforgeable, undeletable). - Scope (user): mixed site, TRANSIENT-FIRST; [[permit]] holders layered as a 2nd identity source that short-circuits payment. Payment = PAY-ON-FOOT / pay station (decoupled from exit; exit lane only validates paid + within walk-back grace). Matches [[autonomous-direction]]. - New signed event types designed (not yet built): `vehicle_entry`, `vehicle_exit`, `payment`, `void` — extend `input_received`. Lifecycle OPEN→PAID→CLOSED (+VOIDED); overstay top-up is the one genuinely stateful edge case. - New pages: [[parking-session]], [[tariff]] (pure/data-driven fee fn; gracePeriodExit is a real pay-on-foot revenue param), decision [[session-model]]. Updated [[append-only-event-chain]], [[index]]. Closes the dangling entry-flow thread from [[device-input-flow]]. - [[permit]] drafted + RESOLVED from user input: credentials = RF tag/chip/card + QR (optical reader). Car limits = two numbers: `registeredCars[]` whitelist + admin-set `maxConcurrent` (in at once) — enforced as a fold over the permit's open sessions. Identity = card/QR OR matching plate (either opens; card-sharing not prevented by design, caught by reconciliation). Autonomy = host-in-the-loop for everything → Dingtian stays sufficient, no new controller; permit entry fails closed if host down. Remaining open: reader hardware models; lapsed/revoked policy. - NEXT: schema (`packages/db`: permits/tariffs + session projection) + the input_received→vehicle_entry flow (closes the [[device-input-flow]] thread). ## [2026-06-15] design | Host-side vision service (ANPR + vehicle verification) - User: optionally bind camera images to an OpenCV service we build. Resolved scope: ANPR (plate → `IdentitySource='lpr'`); a **separate local Python/OpenCV microservice** on the appliance (Node → localhost HTTP), offline; it **replaces the dedicated edge-AI [[lpr-camera]]** (recognition on ordinary Hikvision/Dahua snapshots — reuses `Snapshot.bytes`). - LICENSING: best ANPR/vehicle models are AGPL/commercial vs. the MIT/Apache/BSD standing rule. Decision: **scoped AGPL exception** — allowed INSIDE the vision service only (separate process, not linked); app stays permissive. Amended [[standing-decisions]]. - USER ANTI-FRAUD INSIGHT: a fraudster can print a registered plate and enter with a different car. → service also does **vehicle-attribute / fingerprint verification**, so the *car* reconciles, not just the plate. This fills the independent-witness gap [[append-only-event-chain]] calls out: plate-on-different-car = anomaly. Recognition is advisory (confidence + ticket fallback), evidence (read + image) attaches to the signed event. - New pages: [[opencv-anpr-service]], decision [[vision-service]]. Updated [[standing-decisions]], [[lpr-camera]] (host-side supersedes edge-AI), [[permit]] (plate-spoof defence), [[append-only-event-chain]] (vision as witness), [[index]]. - Open: recognizer/vehicle-model choice + accuracy; fingerprint method + anomaly threshold; appliance compute (CPU vs GPU/NPU); per-camera opt-in; the still-unbuilt reconciliation logic. ## [2026-06-15] design | Transient pricing — composable, versioned tariff - User: pricing is unknown + constantly changing → must be **admin-composable at runtime**, currency selectable, FX later. Reframed [[tariff]] from "config we ship with numbers" to a first-class editable entity. - DECISIONS: (1) rate structure = **stepped duration blocks + rolling-24h daily cap** (flat rate is one block; expresses first-hour/taper/cap with no special cases); (2) overstay top-up = **reprice the difference** (recompute entry→now − alreadyPaid); (3) tariffs are **effective-dated immutable versions** — edits publish a new version, sessions reprice against the version in force, the `payment` event records `tariffVersionId` (reproducible + fixed in the signed chain); (4) **one active tariff per site**, but modelled with id/scope so multi-tariff needs no migration; (5) **currency selectable (ISO 4217)**, money = `{minorUnits, currency}`, payment reserves a null `fxRate` → FX-ready, **FX engine deferred** (needs offline rate source — new [[open-questions]] #8). - Ships with **no rate card**; owner must compose+publish one (blank = free or gated, operator policy — open). Numbers in the page are illustrative, not defaults. - Wrote the pure integer fee algorithm into [[tariff]] (data model: `tariffs` + immutable `tariff_versions`). Updated [[open-questions]] (#8 FX), [[index]]. - NEXT: schema (`packages/db`) for tariffs/versions + permits + session projection, then the composer UI + the input_received→vehicle_entry flow. ## [2026-06-15] design | Shifts (manned-only) + Z-report; drop time-based token - Q: what happens at operator shift end? Resolved scope, deliberately small. - Shifts exist ONLY in manned mode — a human accountability boundary. The fully-automated/unmanned system has NO shifts; the pay-station cash-collection cycle + [[reconciliation]] replace it. - Shift is NOT time-based: relief arrives late / no-shows / one operator forced into a double. → **drop the 8h token expiry**; login valid **until explicit logout** (updated [[local-jwt-auth]]; code change pending). Start/End Shift are **explicit, independent of login** — one login spans many shifts; a double = End then Start again, no re-login. - End Shift = sum signed `payment` events in the shift by tender → append a signed `shift_z_report` (type already in packages/shared, chained to prior Z) → **PRINT cash total + POS total (if a POS is configured)**. That's the whole human-side ask. No blind count / variance gate / manager override. Fraud control stays in the signed chain + later [[reconciliation]] (catch a skim after the fact, not at close). Blind-count documented as an explicit optional add-on, not built. - New page [[shift]]; updated [[local-jwt-auth]], [[index]]. - Open: Z sums by payment-time (the operator who took the money) — confirm; X-report (read-only mid-shift); per-operator vs per-booth vs per-site (ties to [[open-questions]] #1). `payment` event needs a `tender` field (cash/card) — fold into the schema step. ## [2026-06-15] design | Scope sweep — capacity, validation, reporting, integrity gaps - "What else can a PMS do?" — swept the full feature surface against the design; user picked the in-scope gaps. New pages: - [[capacity-occupancy]] — occupancy = fold over open sessions; refuse entry + drive a FULL sign when full; **exit never blocked** ([[fail-state-safety]]); zone-ready; counting-drift = anomaly. - [[validation-discounts]] — merchant validates a ticket → **signed discount event** applied at fee time ([[tariff]]); over-validation visible to [[reconciliation]]; payment records gross/disc/net. - [[reporting-analytics]] — revenue/occupancy/stay/permit/anomaly reports as projections over the chain; **plate-search** (admin looks up a session by plate IF captured — honest "not captured"). - [[clock-integrity]] — fees depend on the host clock; offline box → backdating attack; monotonic index catches reorder, clock-regression = `anomaly`, RTC + privileged-only time change. - [[blocklist]] — barred plates/cards refused at **entry only**; signed + attributed. - Folded into existing pages: **manual overrides** = signed reason-coded events (legitimate counterpart to the out-of-band-open anomaly) + **lost-ticket admin-arbitrary amount** → [[parking-session]] + [[tariff]]; **backup/restore** confirmed in-scope, expanded [[open-questions]] #5 (restored copy must still verifyChain; doubles as the reconciliation export). - NOT captured (flagged): **intercom/help-call** — user didn't select it, but it's the only human fallback for an unmanned lane; revisit. Deferred roadmap: reservations, mobile app, EV, loyalty. - Updated [[index]]. ## [2026-06-15] design | Second sweep — ticket encoding + anti-passback; money corners deferred - More gap-hunting. New pages: - [[ticket-encoding]] — the transient session key: opaque/unguessable **ticket id printed as QR** by [[rongta-printer]], **scanned at pay station + exit** (new ReaderDevice/imager behind the adapter); plate-as-ticket ticketless alt coexists per lane. The physical backbone of the transient flow (was only implied). - [[anti-passback]] — one id can't enter while it already has an OPEN session (card/ticket-passing over the fence); a fold over the chain, *under* permit `maxConcurrent`. Soft (flag `anomaly`) by default vs. hard (refuse); honest dependence on reliable exit detection. - DEFERRED (user): **receipts/VAT invoices** + **refunds/change/overpay** — depend on pay-station hardware + manned/unmanned payment subsystem; recorded as [[open-questions]] #9, revisit at procurement (may change what the `payment` event stores → flagged before schema). - Still open & load-bearing: **lane topology** (#1) — not resolved; scopes sessions/occupancy/shifts. - Updated [[open-questions]] (#9), [[index]]. ## [2026-06-15] decision | Split signed business ledger from device telemetry - User correction before schema: the `events` table conflated TWO things — the anti-fraud business ledger AND device telemetry (button pushes as `input_received`). Split them. - `ledger_events` (rename of `events`): signed, hash-chained, ATECC608-signed business facts only (vehicle_entry/exit, payment, void, shift_z_report + witness barrier_open_command/observed, anomaly). Reconciliation + session/tariff/occupancy projections run on this. - `device_events` (new, [[device-events]]): UNSIGNED hardware telemetry (relay fired, paper-out, camera offline, reader read, raw input edges); high-volume, may rotate/prune; never reconciled. - A raw button press is telemetry → device_events; the entry flow then mints a SIGNED vehicle_entry. So `input_received`-as-signed-event is dropped (was transitional). No prod chain data exists, so the rename/restructure is safe now (no signatures to invalidate). - New: decision [[event-streams-split]], concept [[device-events]]; updated [[append-only-event-chain]] (two streams + as-built-vs-pending), [[index]]. - NEXT (schema): rename events→ledger_events; add device_events; split ParkingEventType in shared; then tariffs/versions, permits, blocklist, sessions projection. EventLog/canonicalize/verifyChain + /api/events follow the rename (code refactor, separate from this wiki commit). ## [2026-06-15] design+build | Entry flow (start) + valet/over-capacity captured - Building the entry flow: device input → signed `vehicle_entry` → print ticket → pulseOpen. - DECISION (print failure): **hold** — if all printers are down, sign an `anomaly` (entry attempt, ticket unprinted) and do NOT open (no unticketed transient — couldn't pay on exit; operator handles the held car). The `vehicle_entry` is appended ONLY on the success path, right before pulseOpen — preserving "signed before open" and never logging an entry for a car that didn't get in. - DECISION (capacity): wire transient entry now; the FULL gate comes later (needs capacity config + occupancy fold). - VALET / OVER-CAPACITY (user): "full" is a **soft, operator-configurable** policy — operator may valet-accept over capacity (customer hands over keys + leaves, operator stacks the car). Manned-only, new custody/session shape. Captured as [[valet-overcapacity]] + made [[capacity-occupancy]] FULL a soft policy; NOT built into the entry flow (clean seam left). Deferred. - New page [[valet-overcapacity]]; updated [[capacity-occupancy]], [[index]]. ## [2026-06-15] build | Exit flow (pay-on-foot validation) - Built `apps/server/src/exit-flow.ts`. Added a `read` channel to the device bus (DeviceReadEvent: ticket/plate/qr/card) — readers/LPR emit reads; entry stays button-driven, so reads are unambiguously exit/identity events for now. - Flow: read → fold the SIGNED ledger for that identity → validate open + PAID + within `gracePeriodExitMin` → signed `vehicle_exit` → pulseOpen → close the session cache. Unpaid / grace-expired / unknown → signed `anomaly`, barrier stays closed (a deliberate business reject, NOT a fail-state; "exit fails open" is about host/power loss). Validation reads the ledger (authoritative), not the cache. - Pay station doesn't exist yet → no `payment` events → every transient exit currently REJECTS. Correct end-state, not passable until pay-station lands (decided). - VERIFIED against stubs: unpaid→anomaly+no-open; paid+grace→vehicle_exit+open+closed; grace-expired →anomaly; unknown ticket→anomaly; verifyChain ok across entry→pay→exit. - GAP flagged: lane_devices has no entry/exit DIRECTION model (door mapping hardcoded to 1 for exit); fine while entry=button/exit=read, but multi-reader lanes need a lane-direction/role model (ties to [[open-questions]] #1). Updated [[parking-session]] as-built + gap, [[index]]. ## [2026-06-15] build | Pay station + fee calc; JWT 8h → until-logout - JWT: dropped the 8h `expiresIn` (server.ts global + login). Token now valid **until explicit logout**; cookie maxAge = 30 days so a browser restart doesn't log out an active operator (auth.ts `COOKIE_MAX_AGE_SECONDS`). Closes the pending change from the shift decision; updated [[local-jwt-auth]]. - `computeFee(enteredAt, asOf, structure)` in `packages/shared` — pure integer fee calc. TWO BUGS caught by tests: (1) grace must use RAW duration, not the rounded-up minutes (a 10-min stay was being charged a full hour); (2) the block ladder must RESET each rolling-24h day (decision: day 2 restarts at first-block pricing → 25h = 1200 cap + 200). Both fixed; 9 cases pass. - Pay station (`apps/server/src/pay-station.ts` + routes `GET /api/pay/quote`, `POST /api/pay`): open session → active tariff version → computeFee → signed `payment` event (amount/currency/tender/ tariffVersionId/graceExitMin); `overrideMinor` for lost-ticket/dispute. Cashier/operator/admin guard. - VERIFIED: full loop entry→quote(300 for 90min)→pay→exit opens+closes, verifyChain ok. (A raw-SQL backdate in one test correctly broke the chain — the tamper-evidence working, not a flow bug.) - Updated [[tariff]] (settled edges + as-built), [[parking-session]] (pay station as-built; full loop passes). ## [2026-06-15] build | Tariff composer (makes the pay station operable) - `validateTariffStructure` in `packages/shared` — non-negative ints, ascending block bounds, only the last block open-ended; a malformed card can't be published. - Routes (`apps/server/src/routes/tariffs.ts`): `GET /api/tariff` (active + history, any role) and `POST /api/tariff/versions` (publish immutable version, ADMIN only). Single site `tariffs` row created lazily. Editing = publish a new version (effective-dated, immutable). - UI (`apps/web/src/TariffComposer.tsx`, admin shell next to SetupWizard): currency, grace windows, increment, daily cap, lost-ticket, add/remove rate blocks; major-unit input → minor on submit; shows active + history. - VERIFIED via Fastify inject: GET empty→active null; invalid (out-of-order blocks)→400 w/ problem; valid→201 createdBy=admin; readonly publish→403; after publish the pay station quote returns 404 (session) not 409 (no tariff) — i.e. it now sees the active card. Full build 5/5. - Updated [[tariff]] (composer as-built).
