tajniak81andClaude Opus 5 b60d929ed6 Service history: columns you can switch off and rearrange
A car's page has let you choose and arrange two things for a while - which tabs
it shows, and which rows the Information tab lists, both dragged into whatever
order you like. The Service history table was left out of that: nine columns,
hardcoded, in one order, for every car. An EV shows Oil & Oil filter and Engine
air filter on every row of a history that will never record either, and a reader
who mostly wants Notes has to look past four columns of dates and distances to
reach it.

It works the way the other two do, because a third mechanism for the same idea
would be one to keep in step. Both lists are properties of the car, so everyone
it is shared with sees the same table, and both need write access to set. The
columns are stored as the hidden set rather than the visible one, so a column
added in a later release is on by default. The arrangement covers the hidden
columns too, which is what makes a column switched back on return to where it
was instead of reappearing at the end - verified below, since that is the part
of this shape that is easy to get wrong and invisible until somebody hits it.

Date cannot be switched off. Every row of that table is work done on a day, and
a history with the day taken out stops being a history; it can still be dragged
anywhere, which is exactly the rule Information already follows in the tab bar.
That is a judgment call and the annotation that prompted this only circled the
other eight columns - moving "date" into hideableServiceColumns and dropping the
filter in the picker would reverse it in two lines if it turns out to be wrong.

Server: hidden_service_columns and service_column_order on the car, validated
against their own key sets by the endpoint that already does this for tabs,
fields and readings. The arrangeable set is derived from the hideable one plus
the date rather than written out again, so the two cannot drift as columns are
added. Bootstrap appends missing fields to existing collections, so the two
columns appear on the next server start with no migration to run.

Web: the table stopped being nine hardcoded th/td pairs and is now driven by one
list of columns, head and body from the same source, which is what stops a moved
or hidden column from shifting the headings out of line with the cells. The
cells are built a row at a time rather than a call per cell, so a long history
doesn't rebuild every cell three times to read its text, its classes and whether
it is the file column. The column headings kept their existing car.services.col*
translations - the keys are mapped rather than derived, because renaming a dozen
strings in three languages to save a lookup table would be the wrong trade. Four
new strings in all three languages.

Verified: go vet and go test ./... pass, with new tests covering both key sets -
that hiding the date is refused, that a field key is not a column key, and that
the arrangeable set is the hideable one plus the date. npm run build is clean.
The page itself was driven in a browser against a throwaway stub API: the
rewritten table renders identically to the hardcoded one, switching two columns
off removed exactly those two from head and body with the rest still aligned and
sent {"hiddenServiceColumns":["oil","engineFilter"]}, dragging Notes onto Km
reordered head and body live and saved an order with the hidden columns still
holding their places, switching Oil back on returned it between Next km and
Cabin air filter rather than to the end, and a read-only share gets no gear
button, no draggable headings and no drag hint.

Not verified: the drag was exercised by dispatching drag events at the
component's own handlers, not by a pointer - the browser pane was not
compositing, which rules out both screenshots and a real drag - so the native
drag image and cursor are unchecked. No automated test guards any of the web
behaviour; the web app still has no test runner. The API rejects unknown JSON
fields, so this web build against an older API Server would take a 400 when
saving the picker: they deploy together from this repo, but one must not ship
without the other. The phone app is deliberately untouched, having no column
table to arrange, and ignores both new fields.

# DriverVault — API Server
The central API Server for the DriverVault project. Written in Go (standard
library only, module `drivervault/apiserver`). It is the **single gateway**
between all clients (web app, phone app, Home Assistant plugin, ESP32 device)
and the PocketBase database — **clients never talk to PocketBase directly**. The
API Server authenticates to PocketBase as a superuser and all collection access
rules are left null, so data is only reachable through this server.
It also serves the **superadmin web panel** at the server root (`/`).

## Auth & access control
Authentication is **PocketBase's own**. `POST /api/auth/login` is proxied to the
PocketBase users collection and the client keeps the token PocketBase minted;
this server does not issue its own JWT. Every protected request re-resolves that
token against PocketBase (`auth-refresh`), so a role change or a deletion takes
effect **immediately** rather than lingering until a token expires.
```
POST /api/auth/login { "email": "...", "password": "..." } -> PocketBase { token, record }
GET /api/auth/me (Authorization: <token>) -> { id, email, name, role }
GET /api/identity (Authorization: <token>) -> + organization
```
Both `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and a raw `Authorization: <token>` are
accepted (PocketBase's own SDKs send the latter).
### Roles
`users.role` is `user` | `admin` | `superadmin` (empty is treated as `user`).
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| **user** | their own cars, service records, parts, profile |
| **admin** | the above, plus manage users **within their own organization** |
| **superadmin** | everything, across all organizations, plus the PocketBase connection and plugins |
Guards worth knowing: an admin cannot create or edit a superadmin, cannot move
users between organizations, and nobody can change their own role or delete
their own account. An organization cannot be deleted while it still has members.
### Organizations
`organizations` is the tenant collection; `users.organization` is the
membership. A superadmin spans all organizations; an admin is scoped by the
server to their own. Users may have no organization at all.
Creating one is self-service: any user who does not already belong to an
organization may `POST /api/orgs`, and becomes that organization's **admin** and
first member in the same request (if the promotion fails the new organization is
rolled back, so it is never left with nobody able to administer it). A user who
already belongs to one is refused — membership is a single relation, so creating
a second would mean silently abandoning the first.
A superadmin is the exception: they create organizations without joining them,
since they already span every tenant.
From there an admin manages **their own** organization — rename it, or delete it
once they are its only member. Deleting it detaches and demotes them back to a
plain `user` before the record is removed, so the organization is empty when it
goes. A superadmin may rename or delete any organization, but still only once it
has no members at all.
### Per-user car ownership + sharing
Cars are not a global list. `cars.owner` marks ownership and `car_shares` grants
other users `read` or `write` access. Every car/service/part handler is gated by
`requireCarAccess`:
- **read** — view the car, its service records and parts.
- **write** — edit the car and full service/part CRUD.
- **owner only** — delete the car and manage its shares.
## Data model
| Collection | Purpose | Key fields |
|---|---|---|
| `cars` | one per car | name, make, model, year, registration, `registrationCountry`, vin, `fuelType`, `buildDate`, `firstRegistrationDate`, `currentKm`, `serviceIntervalDays` (365), `serviceIntervalKm` (15000), `technicalCheckIntervalDays` (365), `oilSpec`, `transmissionOilSpec`, `differentialOilSpec`, `brakeFluidSpec`, `coolantSpec`, `owner` |
| `service_records` | the service log | car, date, km, changed_oil, changed_engine_air_filter, changed_cabin_air_filter, notes |
| `technical_checks` | roadworthiness inspections (przegląd techniczny / MOT / TÜV) | car, date, `result` (passed \| failed), cost, station, `valid_until`, notes |
| `parts` | per-car parts catalog | car, name, part_number, category, notes |
| `fuel_entries` | refuelling log (efficiency derived on read) | car, date, km, liters, cost, `full_tank`, `missed_fill`, station, notes |
| `charging_sessions` | EV charging log, the same shape as the refuelling one (kWh/100km derived on read) | car, date, km, kwh, cost, `full_charge`, `missed_session`, location, notes |
| `maintenance_entries` | workshop visits & repairs (outside routine service) | car, date, km, type, status, workshop, parts_used, labor_cost, parts_cost, invoice_number, warranty_until, notes |
| `car_documents` | paperwork (insurance, registration, road tax, …) | car, type, title, provider, reference, issue_date, expiry_date, cost, notes |
| `reminders` | date/odometer reminders (some auto-derived) | car, title, type, due_date, due_km, repeat_days, repeat_km, done, done_at, notes |
| `car_shares` | grants another user access to a car | car, user, `permission` (read \| write) |
| `organizations` | tenants | name (unique) |
| `control_audit` | OCPP control-command audit trail | user, charger, action, result, timestamp |
| `users` | login + profile (built-in auth collection) | name, email, avatar, `role` (user \| admin \| superadmin), `organization`, bio, theme, locale, date_format, currency, font_size, deletion_requested_at |
Every record collection except `car_shares` / `organizations` / `control_audit`
carries **one optional file attachment**, served only through the API Server
(`GET /api/{records}/{id}/file`) — never a public PocketBase URL.
**Spreadsheet formulas** (from the original `Car Service.xlsx`), reproduced by
the API on read:
```
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (Excel: =A+365)
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (Excel: =B+15000)
```
These come back on each service record as `nextServiceDate` / `nextServiceKm`.

`GET /api/cars` returns the caller's owned cars plus any shared with them, each
annotated with an `access` field. The per-record list endpoints also accept a
`?car={id}` filter (e.g. `GET /api/service-records?car={id}`).
> **Gotcha:** `updateCar` rewrites **all** car columns from the payload, so a
> `PATCH /api/cars/{id}` must send the **full** car object — omitted spec fields
> get blanked. (The phone's odometer quick-edit sends the whole car for this
> reason.) The two exceptions are `owner` and the provider link (`provider`,
> `provider_vehicle_id`), which `carPayload` deliberately leaves out so an
> ordinary edit can neither reassign the car nor break its connected service.
### Vehicle providers
`internal/api/vehicleproviders.go` turns a manufacturer-service plugin into a car
you can create from your own account with that service, plus a per-car tab showing
everything the service currently knows about it. Toyota (MyToyota) is the first
provider; adding the next one means writing a `vehicleSource` adapter and
appending it to `vehicleSources()` — no new endpoints and no Web App changes.
Two properties shape the design:
- **Credentials are always the caller's.** Every provider call resolves through
the same global → org → user cascade as the integration settings, so a car
shared with someone else shows them provider data only when that vehicle is on
*their* manufacturer account. The owner's credentials are never borrowed.
- **Upstream shapes are not modelled.** These are unofficial APIs. Rather than
hard-coding field paths, the layer searches payloads by key name for the handful
of readings worth promoting (odometer, fuel, battery, range) and flattens the
rest to dotted key/value pairs, shipping the raw payload alongside. A renamed
field costs one blank value instead of a broken page.
`POST .../import` takes `{vehicleId, name?, include?}`, where `include` selects
which groups to pull (`identity`, `fuelType`, `dates`, `odometer`). Omitting it
means "everything available". `POST /api/cars/{id}/provider/sync` takes the same
selection, and only ever moves the odometer forward — a reading that appears to go
backwards is a stale provider, not a car driven in reverse.
## The panel (`/`)
A Vue 3 + Tailwind app (source in `panel/`, built into `internal/api/dist` and
embedded at compile time). It is the superadmin console:
- **Overview** — live health of the API Server, PocketBase and the Web App.
- **Users / Organizations** — full management, scoped to the caller's role.
- **PocketBase** — retarget the database connection at runtime; test before
saving. Applied immediately **and** persisted to `.env`, so it survives a
restart. This is the escape hatch when the configured PocketBase is wrong or
unreachable — the settings endpoints deliberately do **not** require a working
service account.
- **Plugins** — enable/disable/configure integrations, run health checks,
register external plugins.
- **API** — the endpoint reference.
Log in with any DriverVault account; the sections you see depend on your role.
```powershell
cd panel
npm install
npm run dev # localhost:5174, proxies /api to localhost:8080
npm run build # -> ../internal/api/dist (then rebuild the Go binary)
```
Editing panel source alone does nothing to the served panel — run `npm run build`
and then rebuild the Go binary, since `dist` is embedded.
## Plugins
An extension system for integrating third-party services, managed by a
superadmin. Two kinds share one contract: **built-in** (Go, compiled in) and
**external** (any HTTP service, registered at runtime, **no rebuild**). Enable
state and global config persist to PocketBase, in the `app_settings` singleton —
the same place the per-org and per-user layers of the cascade live.
See **[`internal/plugins/README.md`](internal/plugins/README.md)** for the full
guide. Two built-in connectors ship today — **Toyota Connected** (`toyota`,
read-only MyToyota vehicle data) and the **Anker Solix** V1 EV charger
(`anker-solix`) — and any number of external HTTP plugins can be registered at
runtime with no rebuild.
### Integrations & charging control
Beyond the superadmin plugin registry, the built-in connectors are exposed
per-user through `/api/integrations/*` under a **superadmin → org admin → user**
cascade (each layer supplies defaults the next can override). For Anker Solix
chargers the server additionally runs an **OCPP 1.6J Central System**
(`internal/ocpp`): when the owner sets a control mode of own/proxy, the charger
dials back in at `GET /ocpp/{serial}` (authenticated with OCPP Basic auth using a
per-charger control token, not a bearer token) and the owner can start/stop and
set charge limits, with every command rate-limited and written to a
`control_audit` trail.
## Configuration
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in. Summary:
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `API_ADDR` | `:8080` | listen address (bare port accepted) |
| `POCKETBASE_URL` | `http://10.2.1.10:8027` | PocketBase base URL |
| `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL` / `_PASSWORD` | — | superuser service account |
| `CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` | `*` | comma-separated browser origins |
| `WEBAPP_URL` | `http://localhost:8090` | probed by `/api/status` |
| `AUTH_USERS_COLLECTION` | `users` | PocketBase auth collection |
| `OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS` | `true` | reject chargers that did not connect over TLS |
| `OCPP_PUBLIC_URL` | — | canonical `ws(s)://` base to point chargers at |
| `PB_BOOTSTRAP` | `true` | run the on-boot schema create/reconcile (leave on across upgrades) |
| `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL` / `_PASSWORD` / `_NAME` | — / — / `Administrator` | first `superadmin`, created on boot when absent |
`PB_URL`, `PB_ADMIN_EMAIL`, `PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD`, `PORT` and `CORS_ORIGINS` are
still honoured for older deployments; the modern names win when both are set.
The server keeps **no state on disk**: plugin settings, like everything else it
owns, live in PocketBase. A `.env` in the working directory is read at startup as
a local-development convenience, and the panel writes back to it when a
superadmin retargets PocketBase or the Web App — but in Docker there is no volume
behind it, so those two screens apply for the life of the container only. Set the
environment variables to change them permanently; see [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile)
and [`../Docker`](../Docker).
`CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS` only matters for **browser** clients (the web app). Native
mobile apps are not subject to CORS.
The service account is **optional at startup**: without it the server still runs
and a superadmin can log in and configure it from the panel, while management
endpoints return 503.
## Scripts (`scripts/`)
```powershell
node scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs # create/reconcile collections (idempotent)
node scripts/create-user.mjs <email> <pw> "Name" # create an app login
node scripts/set-role.mjs <email> user|admin|superadmin
node scripts/backfill-car-owners.mjs # one-off: assign owner to legacy cars
python scripts/seed_from_excel.py "C:/Users/jania/Desktop/Car Service.xlsx"
```
The Node scripts read `POCKETBASE_URL` / `POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL` /
`POCKETBASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD` (or the legacy `PB_*` names) from the environment.
> **PocketBase note:** collections created by the setup script do **not** get
> automatic `created`/`updated` autodate fields in this PocketBase version —
> sorting on `created` fails unless an explicit `F.autodate(...)` is added. When
> adding a new car spec field, extend `DESIRED.cars` in `setup-pocketbase.mjs`,
> add it to `models.Car` + the record mapping in `records.go`, then rebuild.
> **Startup bootstrap:** the server also runs this same create/reconcile on boot
> (`internal/bootstrap`, a Go mirror of `setup-pocketbase.mjs`) whenever a service
> account is configured, so the Docker prod stack needs no manual setup step. It
> is idempotent and gated by `PB_BOOTSTRAP` (default `true`; set to `false` to
> skip). With `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_EMAIL` + `DRIVERVAULT_SUPERADMIN_PASSWORD`
> set it also creates the first `superadmin` user when absent. **Keep the two
> schemas in sync:** a change to `DESIRED` in the script must be mirrored in
> `internal/bootstrap/schema.go` (guarded by `TestSchemaConsistency`).
## First-time setup
1. **Create the PocketBase collections** (idempotent — safe to re-run on an
existing deployment; it adds `organizations`, `users.organization`, and grows
`users.role` to include `superadmin`):
```powershell
$env:POCKETBASE_URL="http://10.2.1.10:8027"
$env:POCKETBASE_ADMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com"
$env:POCKETBASE_ADMIN_PASSWORD="secret"
node scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs
```
2. **Mint the first superadmin.** The panel's management screens need one, and
only a superadmin can promote another — so the first has to come from the
script:
```powershell
node scripts/create-user.mjs admin@example.com "a-long-password" "Admin"
node scripts/set-role.mjs admin@example.com superadmin
```
3. **Run the server** — `go run ./cmd/server`, or build and run the binary.
4. **Open the panel** at `http://localhost:8080/` and sign in.
5. **(Optional) Seed from the spreadsheet** with the server running (see scripts).
## Build & run
```powershell
go build -o bin/api-server.exe ./cmd/server
```
The deployment runs the **prebuilt binary** `bin/api-server.exe` (not `go run`),
started detached so it survives the shell:
```powershell
Start-Process -FilePath ".\bin\api-server.exe" -WorkingDirectory "." `
-WindowStyle Hidden -RedirectStandardOutput api-server.out.log `
-RedirectStandardError api-server.err.log
```
Go's `log` package writes to **stderr**, so check `api-server.err.log` for
request logs and errors. After editing any Go source, rebuild and restart the
process — editing source alone does nothing until the binary is rebuilt.
## Migrating from the JWT build
Earlier builds minted their own HS256 JWT and tracked a `sessions` collection
for "active devices" / remote logout. That is gone — the server now relays
PocketBase tokens. Consequences:
- **`AUTH_SECRET` is obsolete** and ignored.
- **Login returns PocketBase's envelope** — `{token, record}`, not `{token, user}`.
- **`GET|DELETE /api/sessions*` are gone.** PocketBase tokens are stateless, so
there is nothing to revoke per-device. To lock every device out of an account,
change its password: PocketBase rotates the user's token key, which
invalidates every token already issued.
- **User management moved** from `/api/admin/users*` to `/api/users*`, and the
separate password-reset endpoint folded into `PATCH /api/users/{id}`
(`{"password": "..."}`). Responses are enveloped: `{users}` / `{user}`.
- **Existing tokens are invalid** — every client must log in once more.
- The `sessions` collection is left in PocketBase rather than dropped; delete it
by hand if you want it gone.
The Web App and Phone App in this repo are already updated for all of the above.
