The integration cascade stored its top layer differently from the two below
it: org (L2) and user (L3) plugin config lived in PocketBase, in a
pluginSettings field, while the global (L1) layer sat in a plugins.json
next to the binary. That split was accretion rather than design - the file
was the whole store in the v1 MVP, and the per-tenant layers were later
built on PocketBase and layered on top of it instead of replacing it.
It also cost something real. plugins.json was a second state store with
different durability from pb_data: its own volume, its own ownership, its
own backup. Losing pb_data is unmissable; losing api_data was silent, which
is how "every plugin comes back disabled after a redeploy" happened.
L1 now lives in the app_settings collection - one record keyed "global",
holding its settings in a pluginSettings field, the same mechanism and the
same field name the layers below use. The documents still differ in shape,
because only L1 carries enable state and the registration of external
plugins, but the storage is no longer a special case.
The Manager grows a Store seam (PocketBase in production, file for the
import, memory for tests) and, more importantly, a loaded gate. Settings in
a database mean the store can be unreachable at boot - a cold stack, or a
service account still to be set from the panel. That must not read as "no
plugins configured", or the first save would write emptiness over real
settings. So until a read succeeds the Manager stays unloaded, every
mutation is refused, /api/admin/plugins* answers 503, and a background
retry backs off to two minutes. The same gate covers a document that will
not parse: it is never replaced by one built from an empty map, which is a
stronger guarantee than the .corrupt backup it replaces.
Writing to a store also revealed a hole in the previous fix. Classifying a
save failure as errPersist was left to each Store, and a store that
returned a plain error would fall through to the "saved, but the plugin
failed to start" branch and be reported as a 200 - the same silent-success
bug through a different door. The Manager now classifies, whatever the
Store returns; a test pins it.
Upgrades are automatic: on the first boot that finds no settings in the
database, an existing plugins.json is imported and renamed to
plugins.json.migrated. The import is refused if the store is merely
unreachable, or if the file does not parse, so a stale or broken file can
never overwrite live settings. /data is still needed - the panel rewrites
.env there when it retargets PocketBase - but plugin settings no longer
depend on it.
21 tests in internal/plugins cover both stores, including the production
path against a fake PocketBase: create-then-update of the singleton,
round-trip across a restart, an outage that leaves settings intact, a
missing collection reading as not-ready rather than empty, and the import
running exactly once. go build, go vet and go test ./... pass. Schema
changes are mirrored into scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs as that file
requires. Not verified: no Docker CLI here, so no image was built and the
bootstrap of app_settings against a real PocketBase is untested outside the
fake.

The Anker Solix connector was read-only (cloud monitoring only). Add an
OCPP 1.6J control path with a per-user, cascading control mode:
- off monitoring only (default, unchanged behavior)
- own DriverVault is the charger's Central System (full control)
- proxy DriverVault relays to Anker's cloud and injects commands
New internal/ocpp subsystem (stdlib-only, hand-rolled RFC 6455): a CSMS
with session management, inbound dispatch, and typed control commands
(RemoteStart/Stop, SetChargingProfile current limit, ChangeAvailability,
Reset, UnlockConnector, TriggerMessage, Get/ChangeConfiguration). Own- and
proxy-mode paths are verified end-to-end against a simulated charge point.
The charger connects to /ocpp/{serial}, authenticated with OCPP Basic auth
(serial + a per-charger control token) resolved to the owning user via an
in-memory token index. Control REST endpoints mirror the monitoring ones and
reuse the same cascade gate plus a live-session check. controlMode is a new
cascade field (global -> org -> user) advertised as a select on the plugin.
Frontend: control-mode select + provisioning card in Settings, and a real
Start/Stop/limit/reset control panel in Charging, gated on the active mode.

A Go re-implementation of the auth and read-only data flow from
thomluther/anker-solix-api, scoped to the V1 Smart EV Charger (A5191)
and adapted to DriverVault's plugin contract.
Login is a custom ECDH (P-256) + AES-256-CBC password exchange against
passport/login, yielding a ~7-day auth token plus gtoken = md5(user_id)
for subsequent requests; a fresh login covers expiry and 401/403. The
country code routes to the EU or global Anker server.
Exposes read-only capabilities (chargers, charger-status, charge-stats,
charge-orders, ocpp-info, devices, sites, vehicles) with a health check
that reports the bound-charger count.
