CURRENT AI WORKING SESSION — HANDOVER

Active AI: Gemini (Antigravity) Last Updated: 2026-04-12 Current Version: v1.4.0 Branch: dev

STATUS: 🟢 STABLE — BOX MANAGEMENT & LABEL PRINTING COMPLETE (v1.5.0)

The TFM aInventory v1.5.0 has been upgraded with a powerful local-first Box/Container management system. Users can now group items into boxes, identify them instantly via local OCR, and print physical Barcode/QR labels directly from the PWA.

WHAT WAS DONE THIS SESSION

1. Box Management Architecture (Backend)

Database Schema — Added box_label column to the items table.
Audit Integrity — Updated AuditLog snapshots to capture box_label at the time of each transaction, ensuring immutable historical traceability even if items are moved.
API Support — Exposed box_label in Pydantic schemas and item routers.

2. Intelligent Scanner Routing (Frontend)

Box Match Priority — Rewrote the scanner's onOCRMatch logic to prioritize box labels.
Multi-Item Support — Developed a "Box Contents" interstitial modal that handles containers with multiple distinct item types.
Token Matching — Implemented a local fuzzy token-matching engine for generic box text recognition without AI costs.

3. Dependency-Free Label System

Native Generation — Built a zero-dependency SVG engine for Code 128 Barcodes and QR Codes (lib/labels.ts).
Box Manager Dashboard — Added a dedicated UI to view all existing boxes and trigger label generation.
Hybrid Printing — Implemented CSS @media print for professional desktop printers and "Save as PNG" rasterization for portable Bluetooth printers on mobile.

4. UI/UX Excellence

Search Integration — Integrated box_label into the global search filter.
Onboarding Support — Added Box Label association to the AI-powered onboarding workflow with smart datalist suggestions.
Visual Polish — Applied Lucide Package iconography and consistent branding to the new modules.

WHAT THE NEXT AI MUST DO

Database Encryption — Consider implementing SQLite encryption at rest (SQLCipher) if requested.
Persistent JWT — If requested, move the JWT_SECRET_KEY to a .env file for session persistence across server restarts.
Advanced Filtering — Extend the Box Manager to allow bulk movements between boxes.
LDAP Probe — The "Test Connection" button may show "Partial Success" (handshake rejected) due to anonymous bind restrictions; login itself works fine.
Monitoring — If the rate limiter triggers too frequently for legitimate users, adjust the slowapi limit in backend/routers/users.py.
