Two field-reported gaps, unrelated except that both are about being able to
read something off a screen.
A PANEL'S IPv6 WAS NEVER COLLECTED, LET ALONE SHOWN.
DeviceInfo.getLocalIp() filters to Inet4Address, so a v6-only panel reported no
address at all and the dashboard rendered a dash for a screen that was perfectly
reachable. It now reports both stacks in their own fields: a dual-stack panel
genuinely has two addresses and either may be the one you need, so collapsing
them into one column would make it mean "whichever interface enumerated first".
Link-local (fe80::/10) is deliberately excluded. Every interface has one, they
tend to enumerate first, and none can be dialled without also knowing the zone
index — so admitting them would fill the field with a string nobody can paste
anywhere and hide the address that works. Any %iface suffix is trimmed for the
same reason. The 45-char cap the writer already applied is exactly the longest
legitimate IPv6 text form, so it needed no change.
The dashboard card renders only when a panel actually has a v6 address, rather
than showing an empty row to the overwhelmingly v4 fleet.
THE PAIRING CODE DID NOT SCALE, WHICH IS WORST WHERE IT MATTERS MOST.
Every size on the pre-playback screens was a hard-coded pixel value. A CSS pixel
covers a quarter of the screen area on a 4K panel that it does on 1080p, and a
sixteenth on 8K — so the 72px code that fills a 1080p screen is a smudge on the
4K wall it was installed on, which is where signage actually goes.
What has to stay constant is ANGULAR size, so the root font size is now
viewport-proportional and everything on those screens is a rem against it. The
code holds 6.67% of screen height at every resolution: 72px at 1080p — bit for
bit what it renders today, so nothing changes for the existing fleet — 144px at
4K, 288px at 8K. Verified in a browser rather than by arithmetic: at a 1409px
viewport the root computes to 13.0473px, which is 0.926vmin to four decimals.
vmin, not vw, because portrait-mounted panels are common here and vw would
render a 1080x1920 screen at half size. Clamped at both ends so the dashboard's
preview iframe stays legible instead of microscopic and an ultrawide does not
get silly. Applied to the web player (which BrightSign also runs) and to Tizen,
where a 1920x1080 logical viewport makes it arithmetically identical to the
values it replaces — the point being the panels where it is not.
A test asserts the scaling cannot reach playback content: the whole safety
argument is that only the chrome uses rem, and a stage or zone rule adopting it
would start resizing CONTENT, which is a worse bug than the one being fixed.
Android is untouched — its pairing code already autosizes within a dp-scaled
layout.

Found by driving the real server and a real browser, not by reading. Each fix has a
test that fails without it.
1. A missing upload answered 200 with the DASHBOARD. express.static falls through on a
miss and the SPA catch-all caught it, so GET /uploads/content/<gone>.mp4 returned
15KB of index.html as text/html — under the `immutable, max-age=30d` header the mount
sets before it knows the file exists. Every player downloader treats 200 as success,
so a panel stores the HTML page AS the video and caches it for a month, rendering a
black frame with nothing in any log. Reachable exactly when it hurts: a content
replace writes a new random filename and unlinks the old one. The mount now
terminates a miss with a 404 and drops the cache header.
2. Four dashboard->device socket handlers had no capability gate. dashboard:device-command
has always refused a command the panel cannot honour, and the comment above it is right
about why ("hiding the button is not enforcement — this socket is reachable directly").
Every word applied to the four handlers immediately above it, which had none: a display
declaring [] still received screenshot-request, remote-touch, remote-key and
remote-start. Measured, not inferred. They now refuse on remote.screenshot /
remote.input / remote.stream and name the capability in the ack; remote-stop stays
ungated for the same reason set_debug does. The undeclared fleet is unaffected — an
absent declaration still resolves to its platform baseline and keeps everything.
The wall panel list (#235) made this visible: it offered a Screenshot button for every
panel, including a BrightSign, which has no screenshot capability at all, and popped a
toast promising an image that was never coming. GET /api/devices now ships the RESOLVED
capability array rather than the raw column ('[]' as a STRING, which Array.isArray reads
as "pre-capability server, show everything" — wrong in the one case that matters), so
the wall list and the fleet cards can hide what a panel cannot do. The remote pad's
Scrn Off / Scrn On were gated on remote.input while the Info tab gated the same two
commands on display.power; both now agree.
3. A register with no `platform` ERASED the stored one. captureIdentity coerces a missing
field to the literal 'unknown' and persistIdentity wrote it straight over. That column
is load-bearing: platformFamily() reads it, so one reconnect from an older build turned
a Tizen panel into a browser tab and handed it a volume slider the .wgt has no handler
for — the exact control BASELINE.tizen exists to hide — while a BrightSign lost screen
power and reboot and gained screenshots it cannot take. platform and client_type are
now preserved (physical facts); client_version and contract_version still decay, because
there "we no longer know" is the truthful answer. client_type 'wgt' is also read as a
second signal for a Tizen TV.
4. PUT /api/content/:id/replace carried its own shorter copy of the ingest logic. Replacing
a video left duration_sec at the OLD clip's length and nulled width/height, so #237's
brand-new "default an item to the clip's own length" then handed out the wrong number
for every later add — 32s scheduled for a 5s video is 27s of frozen frame. Replacing an
image measured it with raw sharp metadata and thumbnailed without .rotate(),
re-introducing the EXIF-orientation bug #172 had just fixed at ingest. Both paths now
share lib/content-ingest.deriveMediaMetadata.
Verified working and NOT changed: all six item-duration insert paths (a 31.7s clip stores
32 everywhere, an explicit value always wins, and no path can store a 0); the content
revision bump + filepath refresh reaching a real device socket; a landscape wall producing
byte-identical geometry to the pre-#236 expression; a portrait wall reaching the player as
side-by-side halves; cross-workspace isolation across 29 probes.
Full suite green (1319).

Every device control was offered to every display. A browser tab was shown
"Reboot device", a Tizen TV was shown screen power, a player with no
framebuffer read was shown a live view that stayed black. They all looked
like working buttons and did nothing — the "reports success and changes
nothing" shape that keeps costing people days.
Players now declare what they can do at registration, because only the
player knows at runtime: an Android panel gains real screenshots when
accessibility is switched on and loses Tier-2 when device owner is revoked.
The dashboard hides what is not supported rather than disabling it, and the
Info tab lists the capability set so a missing control is explainable.
The declaration is three-state and the middle state is load bearing: NULL
means "has never told us anything" and falls back to a per-platform
baseline, because several hundred displays in the field will not update
before this deploys and blanking their controls would be a far worse bug.
An empty array means "I genuinely can do nothing" and is honoured.
Hiding a button is not enforcement, so unsupported commands are also
refused server-side — the socket is reachable directly and a stale tab
still renders the old controls. Group sends report skipped devices
separately from sent ones; counting an unreachable member as "sent" is how
an operator walks away believing the whole group rebooted.

It was generated once at pairing and never changed. On a fleet that makes it a
shared secret with no expiry: anyone who watches it typed once — an installer, a
contractor, someone filming a screen — keeps it for the life of the panel, and
the only way to take it back was to unpair and re-pair every affected display. A
customer asked whether it rotates, which was the right question.
POST /api/devices/:id/settings-pin takes { rotate: true } or { pin: "123456" },
and pushes the result to the panel over its socket immediately. The live push is
the part that matters: without it a new PIN would only take effect at the next
pairing, so an operator revoking a leaked PIN would believe access was closed
while the old one still opened the menu. The response reports whether the panel
actually took it, so an offline display is stated rather than assumed.
Validation is the security-relevant half and is pure and tested: six digits,
digits only, and a blocklist of the PINs people actually pick (repeats and
sequences) refused on explicit set and never produced by the generator. A PIN
that can be set to "0000" or left empty is a gate that is not there.
Generation uses crypto.randomInt rather than Math.random — this is a credential,
and a rotation requested BECAUSE a PIN leaked must not be predictable from
anything else. Leading zeros are padded, or roughly one PIN in ten would be five
digits and rejected by the on-device prompt.
Android applies it live via device:settings-pin instead of only at pairing. The
PIN is never written to a log on either side, and it stays out of device list
responses as before.
1084 pass; Android compiles.

Handing someone a test build was a trap. A prerelease sorts BELOW its own release — 1.9.25-fix234d
is semver-older than 1.9.25 — so a sideloaded display asked "anything newer?", was correctly told
yes, and updated itself straight back off the build we had asked someone to test. Same versionCode,
so Android installed it without complaint. Silent, and within minutes.
That is what happened on #234: the reporter installed the fix, tested for an evening, and reported
nothing had changed. They were right. Their tablet was running the old code again by then, and I had
told them it was fixed without ever checking what the device reported.
Adds a per-display opt-in (devices.ota_beta, default 0, checkbox next to the OTA toggle). When set,
the display keeps a prerelease of the CURRENT core instead of being pulled back to its release.
Deliberately narrow in one direction and deliberately wide in the other:
- Narrow: it only holds a prerelease of the core already installed. A plain release, a -patchN
build, an upgrade to a newer core, and a display ahead of the server all behave exactly as before,
and the flag defaults off so a fleet that never sets it is unaffected.
- Wide: an opted-in display is exempted from the superseded-prerelease guard. That guard would
otherwise pin a tester on an old test build permanently — an older-core prerelease is never
offered anything, so they would have to notice and sideload their way out. Writing the test is
what surfaced that; opting in must never mean never updating again.
9 tests covering both directions, including that shipping a newer release pulls a beta display back
onto the release line. 845 server tests green.

"No playlist" was an option you could select that did nothing. The picker offered it, and the change
handler opened with `if (!newPlaylistId) return; // Don't allow deselecting for now` — so choosing it
sent no request, changed nothing, and said nothing. The guard was honest about why: there was no way
to do it. PUT /devices/:id has never read playlist_id (200, ignored), and POST /playlists/:id/assign
can only ever set one.
Reported on #234 as "I also selected No playlist ... it still showed the same video". It did, and my
first explanation blamed the playlist-swap deferral. The deferral would have stranded it too — that
is fixed separately and tested — but on this path nothing was ever sent, so the deferral never got
the chance.
DELETE /api/devices/:id/playlist, device-scoped rather than playlist-scoped because there is no
playlist to authorize against when clearing. Ownership goes through checkDeviceOwnership like every
other device mutation, so a viewer and a stranger are refused. Clearing an already-clear display is
a no-op success, since it lives in a dropdown someone can pick twice. The now-empty playlist is
pushed to the device so the screen stops, rather than leaving the old content up until something
else happens to refresh it.
Validated on an Android 12 emulator against the reporter's shape: cleared while a YouTube item was
on screen, zero plays afterwards, device row cleared.

A customer read the device page's IP as their screen's address and reported it as wrong.
It was not wrong, it was a different thing: devices.ip_address is the PUBLIC address the
server sees the connection arrive from. Both are useful — you want the public one to
recognise a site, and the local one to actually reach the panel — so the page now shows
each, labelled.
The player already computed its own address for the connectivity report; it just never
reported it. Read straight off the interfaces, so Ethernet panels get it too, and it needs
no permission. Stored on device_telemetry beside wifi_ssid/wifi_rssi, where the
per-heartbeat network facts already live, rather than as another devices column.
The same customer saw "Unknown" for the Wi-Fi name and assumed it needed device-owner
access. It needs LOCATION: Android 8.1+ returns the literal "<unknown ssid>" to an app
without it. So "Unknown" was us reporting a permission gap as if the network had no name.
The player now distinguishes not-allowed-to-know from genuinely-no-Wi-Fi, and the page says
"Needs location permission" instead of a blank. The permission is declared but NEVER
requested at startup and nothing else uses it — a signage player demanding location to
display a network name is a bad trade. It is an opt-in row on the setup screen, using the
same Enable/Manage pattern, and refusing it changes that one field and nothing else.
Also caught by the test suite, and worth recording: the first version of this dropped the
comma in the device SELECT list ("t.uptime_seconds t.local_ip"), which 500'd the endpoint
and failed seven tests that never mention telemetry. Verified end to end afterwards —
public and local addresses both returned, distinct, from a real request.
A customer blocked a screen once to see what the button did, then spent an evening
unable to get it back. Three separate faults stacked up.
1. Unblock did not stick. applyToDevice() restores `blocked` on re-pair — deliberately,
so a block cannot be shrugged off by deleting the device — which makes the SAVED copy
the real authority. Unblock only ever wrote `devices`, so the saved row stayed 1 and the
next delete + re-pair silently re-blocked. There was no way out from the dashboard at
all: unblock, re-pair, refused, repeat. Block and unblock now both mirror to the saved
copy, so the survives-a-re-pair property is deliberate rather than a leftover.
2. The refusal was invisible. handleServerRejection() clears credentials and calls
onUnpaired, but only ProvisioningActivity ever assigned that callback — and it is long
gone by the time playback is running. So the screen sat on "Connecting to server" and
the player eventually blamed the URL, sending the operator off checking their network
while the server had already said exactly what was wrong. MainActivity now handles it.
(This half was mine: clearing those leaked callbacks to stop the relaunch loop removed
the only thing that surfaced a rejection. It was a broken path — it fired into a
destroyed Activity — but it was the only one, and MainActivity should have owned it.)
3. The reason was thrown away. The server sends device:auth-error {error: "Device
blocked"} and the client discarded it. It is kept now, and a blocked screen says so
instead of implying a network fault. Localised in all six languages, matching the other
on-screen status strings.
Also ran on prod: one stale saved block cleared (fingerprint ef6540376599, the reporter's
tablet), DB backed up first. It was the only such row.
Tests pin both directions, because the two are easy to confuse: unblock must clear the
saved copy, AND a genuine block must still survive a delete + re-pair.
A device row carries two fields that are not ordinary data: device_token, the
credential the player proves with on the /device socket, and settings_pin, which
unlocks the player's on-device settings menu and so hands physical control of the
panel to anyone holding it.
device_token was already stripped everywhere. settings_pin was not — it went out on
both the collection and the detail endpoint. The dashboard does show it, but on one
screen only: the device detail page, which fetches a single device. The collection
endpoint had no consumer for it and was returning the PIN for every device in the
workspace on every load.
The detail endpoint keeps it, so that page is unchanged. The list no longer sends it.
Same data, much smaller blast radius, no feature lost.
Tests pin the split in both directions — absent from the list, present on the detail,
and the socket credential absent from both (asserted on the whole serialized payload,
not just the top-level key, so a nested echo would fail too).

* feat(diagnostics): device incident log — why a screen went offline/black, with device-attested cause
Field request (Bold/s_t_r_o_b_e): "screens go offline randomly — let us see the cause." Answers it
across the fleet with a unified incident log, and — the key insight — lets the DEVICE disambiguate
the cause the server can't: if the app process survived the gap it was a NETWORK problem (not a
reboot), and it can even tell a dropped Wi-Fi/Ethernet link from a link-up-but-server-unreachable
(router/upstream) failure.
Schema:
- device_status_log gains reason + detail (WHY each offline transition happened).
- NEW device_events table (unified incident feed): type (offline/online/display_off/display_on/
crash/reboot/network/app_error) + reason + detail, indexed, age-pruned + per-device capped.
Server:
- Capture the socket.io disconnect REASON (transport_close/ping_timeout/transport_error) instead of
discarding it — recorded in the offline-cause log. devices.offline_reason stays on the EXIT-SIGNAL
contract (crashed/clean_exit/silent) — a separate axis, preserved (violent death = 'silent').
- device:event handler (typed incidents) + device:connectivity-report handler (device-attested).
lib/incident-classify.js (pure, unit-tested) composes reason+detail: cold_start->reboot;
link_lost->network "Wi-Fi/Ethernet link lost"; else network "LAN up, server unreachable
(router/upstream)"; appends SSID / weak-signal (rssi<-75) / IP-changed. On a report it upgrades the
most-recent offline row from the server's guess to the device's ground truth.
- heartbeat timeout -> 'heartbeat_timeout'; retention/cap for device_events.
- Device-detail API returns statusLog.reason/detail + the last 50 device_events.
Device (Android WebSocketService): ConnectivityManager default-network callback (link-lost during a
gap) + Wi-Fi SSID/RSSI + IP snapshot -> device:connectivity-report on reconnect (app survived =>
network); ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF receiver -> device:event display_on/off ("screen went black"). All
guarded/feature-detected; no manifest change; compiles clean.
Web + Tizen players: reconnect connectivity-report (link_lost from navigator.onLine during the gap)
+ visibilitychange -> display_off/on. Best-effort (no wifi detail in a browser). Tizen exit-signal
marker slice untouched.
CMS (device-detail): the offline cause on the uptime-timeline hover + a new "Recent incidents" panel
(merged offline periods + typed events, friendly labels, detail, relative time + down-duration).
Built as a 4-way parallel agent fan-out over disjoint domains against a locked contract, then
integrated. Verified: full server suite 443/443 (incl. the seam fix keeping the exit-signal contract
intact), Android compileDebugKotlin clean, all players + CMS node -c clean.

* feat(diagnostics): internet-reachability probe — split "our server down" from "no internet" (#170)
Follow-up to the incident log: when a device's link is UP but it's offline, "router/upstream" was a
catch-all. The device now probes a public host (1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 :443) DURING the gap, so the cause
pinpoints blame:
- link_lost=true -> Wi‑Fi/Ethernet link lost (device's own link)
- link up, internet_ok=true -> server_down: internet reachable, OUR server was unreachable
- link up, internet_ok=false -> no_internet: router/ISP down
- link up, no probe result -> generic router/upstream (unchanged fallback)
- Android WebSocketService: fire a short daemon-thread TCP probe (443, either host) at disconnect;
the result rides the connectivity-report as internet_ok (omitted if the gap ends before it finishes).
- lib/incident-classify.js: 3-way split on internet_ok; new reasons server_down / no_internet.
- Frontend i18n: device.event.server_down / .no_internet labels.
- Tests: +3 classify cases (server_down, no_internet, link_lost wins over internet_ok). 12/12.
Verified: classify 12/12, Android compileDebugKotlin clean, node -c clean. Refs #170.

* feat(diagnostics): log an 'upgrade' incident (old → new app_version) — server-side (#170)
When a device reports an app_version different from the stored one, applyDeviceInfo logs an
'upgrade' device_events row (detail 'old → new'). Server-side, so it covers Android/Tizen/web with
no client change; a fresh pair (no prior version) isn't counted. Adds device.event.upgrade label.

Lets an operator (or an MDM) own updates instead of the app self-installing, which
on managed panels shows a self-install confirm dialog over customer content
(#155). Three layered controls:
- GLOBAL (server): config.otaEnabled from OTA_ENABLED (default on). When off,
/api/update/check returns update_available:false, reason:ota_disabled_global —
the whole instance stops offering updates.
- PER-DEVICE (server + dashboard): new devices.ota_enabled column (default 1). When
0, that device is never offered an update (reason:ota_disabled_device). A
"Self-update (OTA)" toggle in the device settings flips it via PUT /api/devices/:id.
- AUTO-DETECT (Android): UpdateChecker stands down entirely when a foreign device
owner (an MDM/DPC) manages the panel — detected via getActiveAdmins() + not being
device owner ourselves. Pure client-side, errs safe, needs no server change.
The two server gates are enforced server-side so they cover EVERY client version,
not just ones with the client-side stand-down. When OTA is off the device still
reports its version (dashboard sees state); the MDM/operator owns the actual update.
For an MDM-managed fleet (e.g. Pivot/MAXHUB), turn OTA off and let the MDM push the
APK — the install-dialog race disappears from every angle.
Tests: +2 (per-device gate + a real OTA_ENABLED=false server for the global gate);
full server suite 393 pass; Android compiles.

Delete+re-pair mints a new device row whose INSERT omits every setting, silently resetting
orientation/name/playlist/etc to defaults (Bold MDM churn). Add a fingerprint-keyed
device_settings table (no FK to devices -> survives the cascade): snapshot on DELETE, auto-
restore on fingerprint-match re-pair (relinking the fp to the new id), operator re-adopt API
(GET /devices/removed + POST /devices/:id/re-adopt) for the changed-fingerprint case. Purge on
workspace/user/org deletion (no cross-tenant bleed). Orientation enum-validated on PUT + restore.
blocked preserved (re-enforced by the register kill-switch). Wall membership deferred (TODO).
Backend only — frontend re-adopt UI NOT built (awaiting API review). Local only, no bump/tag.
- Enforcement (deviceSocket): resolve identity ONCE via the SNAT-safe chain and check
blocked against the RESOLVED device_id (device_id directly OR fingerprint->device_id),
so a blocked device that reconnects WITHOUT a device_id is still caught — the old
"if (device_id)" gate let a device_id-less reconnect slip past. Still the first gate,
before flap/throttle/DB/playlist. Nulling the token still does NOT block (it
re-provisions) — the blocked column is the lever.
- Dashboard toggle: POST /api/devices/:id/{block,unblock} (write-gated + workspace-scoped
via checkDeviceOwnership) writes devices.blocked; takes effect on the device's NEXT
register with no restart. api.js + a Block/Unblock button in device-detail.js.
- Outage procedure documented in-code: direct SQLite
"UPDATE devices SET blocked = 1 WHERE id = <id>" works with the dashboard down.
Tests: blocked refused at handshake with no playlist build; device_id-less reconnect
with a mapped fingerprint still refused; unblock effective on next register, no restart.

Two independent multi-zone bugs, plus operator-facing warnings, i18n, and
regression tests guarding the data contracts.
Bug 1 — per-item mute was a no-op end to end:
- GET /api/devices/:id dropped the `muted` column from its assignments SELECT,
so the dashboard toggle never reflected state (the muted=false case in
particular). Column restored to the device payload.
- Android player now honours the per-item mute flag for YouTube (initial state
+ live via the IFrame JS API).
Bug 2 — items whose zone_id belongs to a different layout were silently dropped:
- Player fallback (web + Android): an orphaned zone_id is recovered into the
largest zone instead of vanishing, with telemetry.
- server/lib/zone-validate.js is the single source of truth for the orphan rule
(zone not in the device's active layout); used by the device payload
(per-item `orphan` flag + `active_layout_zones`) and the device list
(`orphan_count`).
- Assign-time hardening: a stale zone_id (not in the device's active layout) is
cleared to null on POST/PUT rather than persisted as a new orphan.
- scripts/find-orphan-zone-items.js: read-only sweep for existing orphans.
Dashboard warnings (operator-facing, never on the live player):
- Per-item badge + reassign affordance, device-list glance, preview banner.
- Graceful degradation: the zone selector falls back to /api/layouts/:id so it
can't vanish on a stale payload.
i18n: orphan-zone strings added to en/es/fr/de/pt/it (hi falls back by design;
count strings interpolate through tn()).
Tests: server/test/device-zone-contract.test.js adds 5 regression tests for the
data contracts above (muted true/false round-trip, active_layout_zones, orphan
flag + count, orphan-clears-on-reassign, assign-time clearing). 172/172 pass.

Two device-REPORTING fixes from the #134 investigation (the PiP rendering itself
was #135).
1) "Device reconnects every ~45s" was a logging artifact, not instability. The
player re-emits a full device:register on the SAME socket every ~45-60s
(requestPlaylistRefresh) to pull a fresh playlist; the server logged
"Device reconnected" for every register of a known device. The attached 4-day
log showed 1415 "reconnected" vs 30 real socket connects and 0 heartbeat
timeouts — the socket never dropped, so #134's "PiP lost between reconnects"
was a misdiagnosis. Fix: only log a genuine reconnect (new socket); a
same-socket re-register is a refresh (currentDeviceId === device_id) and stays
quiet. The playlist still refreshes.
2) Device reported 720p while the monitor showed a 1080 signal. DeviceInfo
reported getRealMetrics() — the UI RENDER SURFACE — but TV boxes render the UI
at 720p and upscale to a 1080p HDMI signal. Now report BOTH: screen_width/height
= the output mode (Display.Mode.physicalWidth/Height), render_width/height =
the render surface (getRealMetrics). Two new nullable devices columns, stored on
pairing INSERT + reconnect UPDATE, exposed via the device API, shown on the
dashboard as "1920x1080 (UI 1280x720)" when they differ.
Backward compatible (required + verified on emulator): a device that omits
render_* — or sends no device_info at all — still registers, with render_* = null,
on both the INSERT and UPDATE paths. New columns nullable; stores use
`?? null` / `|| null`. All 167 server tests pass.

Option A: tile-on-tile (same section) reorders; tile-on-section / cross-
section stays group-assign (existing behavior untouched). Ordering is
cosmetic (dashboard only — nothing the device/player reads).
Backend:
- Migration: devices.sort_order column (idempotent ALTER; default 0).
- GET /api/devices ordering: sort_order ASC, created_at ASC (was created_at).
- POST /api/devices/reorder — ordered id array -> transactional
UPDATE sort_order=index, scoped WHERE workspace_id = caller's workspace
(forged cross-workspace ids are no-ops). Write-gated (viewer read-only).
Mirrors the playlist items reorder.
Frontend (the collision):
- Card-level dragover/drop: reorder ONLY when target is another card in the
SAME section; otherwise no-op so the event bubbles to the section's
group-assign handler. stopPropagation on the same-section drop prevents
the section handler also firing. Drop indicator (inset box-shadow).
Native HTML5 DnD; no library.
Validated (headless Chrome, synthetic DnD + a section-level drop spy):
- SAME-section reorder: section drop suppressed (sectionDrops=0), POST
/devices/reorder fires, NO group call, sort_order persists in DB.
- CROSS-section: section drop fires (sectionDrops=1), POST /groups/:id/
devices fires and membership actually changes — group-assign unbroken.
- The 0-vs-1 contrast proves stopPropagation disambiguates the shared gesture.
- 149 server tests green; migration applies clean on the prod-copy DB.

Completes #104's two surfaces by reusing the now-generalized player preview
for devices, seam-safe (device-bound layout, NOT playlist-derived).
Server:
- GET /api/devices/:id/preview-payload returns buildPlaylistPayload(deviceId)
— the device's OWN layout/orientation (device row) + its published items —
with wall_config forced null (v1: wall members preview full-frame; a
socket-free follower would otherwise freeze waiting for leader wall:sync).
Device-READ gate (mirrors GET /:id, viewers allowed); NOT requirePlaylistRead.
Player (generalized, shared seam):
- Boot dispatch now accepts ?preview=1 with EITHER playlist=ID OR device=ID.
- bootPreview(qs) builds the right URL; shared body factored into
renderPreviewFromUrl(url) used by both. Renderer still UNTOUCHED.
- derivePreviewLayout stays PLAYLIST-only; never touches the device path.
Dashboard:
- Device manager gets a Preview button -> /player?preview=1&device=ID
(modal iframe, aspect from device orientation). Playlist-view button as-is.
- i18n x6 (device.preview_btn).
Validated (not just tests): 149 server tests green (generalization didn't
break the playlist path); device preview renders socket-free in headless
Chrome; layout proven device-bound on real data (device playlist has 0 zoned
items -> playlist-derivation would give NULL, but payload returns the device
row's "Vertical Full HD"); wall-member device previews full-frame (inWallMode
false) without freezing; auth gate outsider->403, no-token->401; playlist
path still renders the webpage note post-refactor.

- playlists: accept zone_id on item create + update, validated against a template or a
layout in the playlist's workspace (no cross-tenant zone reference).
- devices: accept layout_id on PUT /api/devices/:id (symmetry with the layouts route),
validated the same way; null clears it. Both are already returned in the GET SELECTs.

Five low-risk, high-value fixes surfaced by the security review:
#3 Branding lockdown — `custom_domain`/`custom_css` (which feed the PUBLIC,
pre-auth branding resolver and the login-page <style>) are now settable only
by platform admins; a workspace_admin can no longer hijack the platform login
page by claiming its domain. The public /api/branding (+ /domain) now return
only presentational fields via publicBranding() (no id/user_id/workspace_id/
custom_domain/timestamps leak).
#6 Strip device_token — the device WS auth secret (validated with
timingSafeEqual) was returned in device list/get/update + pairing responses
(SELECT d.* / *). New lib/device-sanitize.js strips it everywhere; prevents
device impersonation by any workspace user.
#7 must_change_password enforced server-side — was a frontend-only redirect, so
a provisioned temp password worked indefinitely via the API. requireAuth now
403s every route except GET/PUT /api/auth/me (the password change, which
clears the flag) and logout while the flag is set.
#8 XSS — escape user data interpolated into innerHTML in teams.js, kiosk.js,
layout-editor.js (team/page/layout/zone names, member name/email, kiosk
config fields). scriptSrcAttr 'unsafe-inline' made these exploitable via
injected event handlers, not just markup.
#9 Thumbnail IDOR — /api/content/:id/thumbnail had no auth/scope gate (any UUID
served any tenant's thumbnail). Now mirrors the /file route's playlist/widget
workspace-scoped reference check.
Tests: new test/security-fixes.test.js (device strip, publicBranding field
allowlist, must_change_password gate). Full suite 41/41. Verified live against a
prod-data copy: device_token absent from /api/devices, /api/branding trimmed.
Not addressed here (tracked for follow-up): Android OTA signature verification
(Critical), public widget-render XSS, token revocation/logout, pairing-code
strength, validateRemoteUrl hardening, import quota.

platform_operator is cross-org STAFF: it can see and act-as into every
org and read/write workspace-scoped resources (content, playlists,
layouts, schedules, devices, widgets, kiosk) anywhere - but holds NO
owner-level power.
Design is deny-by-default: operator is NEVER added to PLATFORM_ROLES /
isPlatformRole, so every owner capability (billing, org/workspace
deletion, user/role management, shared & template asset curation,
branding, workspace member mgmt/rename) stays denied, and any NEW owner
endpoint added later inherits that denial automatically.
Operator gets power from exactly two levers:
- middleware/auth.js: new PLATFORM_STAFF set + isPlatformStaff(); owner
guards (PLATFORM_ROLES, requireAdmin, requireSuperAdmin) unchanged.
- tenancy.js: accessContext + resolveTenancy treat staff as act-as
capable; new req.isPlatformStaff / req.isPlatformOperator (req.isPlatformAdmin
stays owner-only); accessibleWorkspaceIds + switch-workspace guard use staff.
- permissions.js: canRead/canWrite + canAccessWorkspace (read) grant staff;
canAdmin / canAdminWorkspace / isOrgAdmin / isOrgOwner stay owner-gated.
Read-only edges (per review): operator may VIEW workspace member lists
(canAccessWorkspace) and the unassigned device pool (devices.js), but
cannot mutate either.
Frontend: platform role dropdown adds "Platform operator"; the user-mgmt
view stays isPlatformAdmin-gated so operators can't open it. EN i18n only.
Behaviour identical under HOSTED_INSTANCE set or unset.

Follow-up to 73f41c3 (server-side zone_id wiring). With this commit
the zone feature is verified working end-to-end: dashboard zone
picker renders correctly, zone_id saves and persists, the per-row
zone dropdown reflects the saved zone after reload, and a live
player run with computed-style inspection confirmed zone divs and
video elements size correctly within their geometry.
Frontend (device-detail.js, en.js):
- Add-content modal: zone picker slot now renders in all four states
(has_zones / no_layout / fetch_failed / empty_layout) instead of
silently vanishing when zones.length === 0. Informational rows
match form-group styling and tell the user which control to use
next. Closes the gate-4 symptom where 38-of-42 devices (no layout
assigned) silently dropped zone_id on every assignment.
- Both /api/layouts/:id fetches (add modal, edit-path) now have
!res.ok throw guards and surface failures via console.warn instead
of swallowing them. The add modal additionally exposes the failure
state to the user via the fetch_failed info row.
- Edit-path zone dropdown: replaced brittle DOM-scraping (reading
the i18n label text and matching z.id.slice(0,8) against rendered
meta HTML) with a data-current-zone-id attribute stashed at row
render from a.zone_id. Removes the i18n-format coupling and gives
exact UUID match.
- 3 new i18n keys in en.js (other locales fall back).
Server (devices.js):
- The GET /api/devices/:id assignments query had its own ad-hoc
SELECT projection that was missed during the 73f41c3 site survey.
Without pi.zone_id in this projection, loadDevice() got assignments
without zone_id and the edit-path dropdown displayed "No zone"
after every save+reload even though the DB had the correct value.
One-line fix: add pi.zone_id, mirroring the ITEM_SELECT change in
routes/assignments.js. Listed as the 8th site that 73f41c3's
original survey missed; this commit closes it.
Verification:
- JS parse + en.js ESM load + server module load all clean.
- Live SQL probe: GET /api/devices/:id projection now returns zone_id
for the test rows (id=31 zone_id=z-sh-1, id=54 zone_id=z-sh-2).
- Browser test by hand: zone picker renders per state, zone_id
persists, reload shows saved zone, computed styles on rendered
.zone divs match expected geometry.

Fix: at connect, enumerate the user's accessible workspace_ids (direct workspace_members + org_owner/admin paths + platform_admin 'all') via new accessibleWorkspaceIds() helper in lib/tenancy.js; socket.join one room per workspace. All 12 dashboardNs.emit sites across deviceSocket / heartbeat / server.js / devices route / video-walls route now route via dashboardNs.to(workspaceRoom(...)).emit() with the workspace looked up from the relevant device or wall. New lib/socket-rooms.js holds the helpers and breaks a circular dependency (dashboardSocket already requires heartbeat, so heartbeat can't require dashboardSocket).
Inbound 6 commands rewired to canActOnDevice(socket, deviceId, tier): request-screenshot is read tier (workspace_viewer+); remote-touch/key/start/stop and device-command are write tier (workspace_editor+). Platform_admin and org_owner/admin always pass via actingAs. Legacy admin/superadmin branch dropped.
Lifecycle note: workspace-switch already calls window.location.reload (Phase 3 switcher), which forces a fresh socket with updated memberships - no per-emit re-evaluation needed.
Smoke tested with 3 simultaneous socket.io-client connections (switcher-test, swninja, dw5304 platform_admin) + direct canActOnDevice invocation for 6 user/device/tier combinations. All 9 outbound isolation cells and all 6 permission gates pass. Fixture mutation: switcher-test's Field Crew membership flipped from workspace_editor to workspace_viewer to exercise the read/write tier split in one login.
Schema: add status and published_snapshot columns to playlists table.
Migration snapshots all existing playlists as published (idempotent via schema_migrations).
Devices always receive the published_snapshot, not live playlist_items.
Edits from device-detail/groups auto-publish immediately (display updates instantly).
Edits from playlist detail page go to draft (requires explicit publish).
POST /playlists/:id/publish snapshots and pushes to all devices.
POST /playlists/:id/discard reverts playlist_items from published snapshot.
Content deletion scrubs references from all published snapshots.
Frontend: draft badge in playlist list, prominent yellow banner with publish/discard
buttons on playlist detail and device detail pages.

GET /:id now queries playlist_items via device.playlist_id.
DELETE no longer cleans up assignments table (playlist survives device deletion).
