📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes current-scan presence checks, adds schema registration with runtime backfill and drift tests, prevents blank-MAC device creation, and updates pipeline and notification documentation.

Changes

Scan presence and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared presence predicate
server/scan/presence.py, server/scan/device_handling.py, server/scan/session_events.py, test/scan/test_presence_helper.py
A validated current_scan_presence_condition() helper replaces repeated presence SQL. Tests verify SQL generation, validation, SQLite behavior, and migrated call sites.

Schema registration and backfill

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema registry and runtime backfill
server/db/schema_columns.py, server/db/db_upgrade.py, server/database.py, test/db/test_schema_drift_guard.py
Registered column definitions drive backfill for Events, Sessions, and Notifications. Tests compare schemas with app.sql, validate inline DDL, detect column and type drift, and verify backfill behavior.

Blank-MAC device guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Device and event creation filtering
server/scan/device_handling.py, test/scan/test_scan_creates_device.py
Device creation and New Device event insertion exclude blank or null-equivalent MAC values. Tests cover single and multiple plugin rows.

Pipeline and notification documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pipeline gotchas and notification modes
.claude/skills/scan-pipeline/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/scan-pipeline/SKILL.md, .github/skills/scan-pipeline/SKILL.md, server/plugins/sync/sync.py, docs/NOTIFICATIONS.md, docs/PLUGINS_DEV_DATA_CONTRACT.md
Documentation records sync pipeline bypasses, schema safeguards, row-level quiet settings, and live versus seeded notification behavior. Comments identify the sync bypass paths.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 660bd

The notification data-contract documentation may misstate how quiet absence handling persists Events rows. This does not affect runtime behavior, but should be corrected to avoid misleading plugin authors.

In `@server/scan/presence.py`:
- Around line 28-29: Update current_scan_presence_condition in
server/scan/presence.py to alias the inner CurrentScan relation as
presence_scan, compare presence_scan.scanMac with mac_column, and reject
presence_scan as an input qualifier. In test/scan/test_presence_helper.py,
execute the qualified fragment against one present and one absent MAC and assert
that only the present MAC matches.

In `@test/db/test_schema_drift_guard.py`:
- Around line 53-55: Update _drift() in test/db/test_schema_drift_guard.py at
lines 53-55 to compare normalized column-name-to-declared-type maps from PRAGMA
table_info for the expected schema and _columns_from_ddl output, detecting type
changes as well as missing or extra columns. At lines 139-140, extend the
restored-column assertion to verify its type matches first_type, preserving the
existing column restoration checks.

167-167: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify the audit-trail guarantee for absence events.

scanNotificationMode = quiet does not always write an Events row. A new quiet device receives devAlertDown = 0, and the Device Down queries require devAlertDown != 0; therefore, no Device Down row is inserted. Disconnected is inserted with evePendingAlertEmail = 0, but the document currently applies one audit-row guarantee to both absence events. State the persistence behavior per event type.

In `@docs/PLUGINS_DEV_DATA_CONTRACT.md` at line 167, Update the
scanNotificationMode documentation to distinguish absence-event persistence:
quiet Device Down events may produce no Events row when devAlertDown is zero and
the query requires devAlertDown != 0, while quiet Disconnected events still
create an Events row with evePendingAlertEmail set to zero. Replace the shared
audit-trail guarantee with event-specific behavior.

In `@docs/PLUGINS_DEV_DATA_CONTRACT.md`:
- Around line 208-209: Update the event-flow documentation around “New Device”
so it is not classified as requiring scanPresence = 1. Describe it as a
CurrentScan row event governed by scanCreatesDevice = 1 with a non-blank MAC, or
list it separately from presence-gated events; keep the presence-gated handling
for Connected, Down Reconnected, and IP Changed.
- Line 225: Update the table entry’s explanation of blank-MAC handling to
distinguish the group-level blank-MAC guard from the row-level scanCreatesDevice
= 0 value: the guard blocks the aggregated group, while 0 only prevents that
individual row from originating a device. Remove the claim that both
independently block the MAC.
