serversdown 815c643fb2 feat(forward): rate cap + seed-state mode for safe backfill (v1.5.2)
Two safety nets for first-deploy on Blastware ACH machines that
have accumulated tens or hundreds of thousands of historical events
in the watch folder.

1. SFM_MAX_FORWARDS_PER_PASS (default 500, 0=unlimited)
   ---------------------------------------------------
   Cap on the number of events forwarded per scan tick.  At the
   60-second default interval that's ~30K events/hour throughput —
   the SFM server gets a steady drip instead of one giant burst.
   Scan now sorts by mtime ascending so backfill advances
   chronologically (oldest first) and successive scans always
   make progress instead of re-considering the same N newest files.

   Wired into:
     - event_forwarder.find_pending_events / forward_pending
     - series3_watcher.run_watcher loop
     - config-template.ini
     - settings_dialog SFM Forward tab (new "Max Events Per Pass"
       spinbox, validated in _on_save)

2. event_forwarder.py --seed-state CLI
   -----------------------------------
   One-shot mode that walks the watch folder, sha256s every in-window
   event binary, and marks them all as already-forwarded WITHOUT
   POSTing anything.  Run before flipping SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED=true
   to skip the historical backfill entirely — the watcher then only
   forwards events that appear AFTER the seed.

   Usage:
       python event_forwarder.py --seed-state \
           --watch "C:\Blastware 10\Event\autocall home" \
           --state "C:\...\sfm_forwarded.json" \
           [--max-age-days 365]

7 new unit tests:
  - max_per_pass cap enforcement (=N, =0 unlimited, oldest-first
    ordering)
  - seed-state mode (in-window seeding, max-age skip,
    end-to-end skip-after-seed, idempotent re-runs)

README adds a "First-time deployment" section walking through both
options.  Bumps to v1.5.2.

## [1.5.2] - 2026-05-10
### Added
- **`SFM_MAX_FORWARDS_PER_PASS` rate cap.** Default 500 events per scan tick (60-second interval = ~30K events/hour). Drips first-deploy backfill instead of hammering the SFM server with one giant burst on machines that have hundreds of thousands of historical events in the BW ACH folder. `0` = unlimited (preserves the 1.5.0 behaviour for ops who want it).
- **`event_forwarder.py --seed-state` CLI mode.** Walks the watch folder once, sha256s every in-window event, and marks them all as already-forwarded *without* POSTing anything. The recommended pre-deploy workflow on machines with a large historical archive — flip `SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED=true` after seeding and only events that appear *from then on* get forwarded.
- New "Max Events Per Pass" spinbox in the Settings dialog's SFM Forward tab.
- README "First-time deployment" section documenting both options.
- 7 new unit tests covering the cap (oldest-first ordering, cap=0 unlimited, cap=N enforcement) and the seed-state mode (skips out-of-window files, idempotent across re-runs, end-to-end skip-after-seed).
### Behaviour change
The scan loop now sorts entries by mtime ascending before walking, so backfill always advances chronologically (oldest qualifying event first). Without the cap the visible behaviour is identical; with the cap it means each scan reliably advances and we never get stuck re-considering the same N newest files.
## [1.5.1] - 2026-05-10
### Added
- **SFM Forward tab in the Settings dialog.** v1.5.0 shipped the `event_forwarder.py` module + INI keys but missed the GUI; operators had to edit `config.ini` by hand to enable forwarding. The settings dialog now exposes:
- **Forward events to SFM** checkbox
- **SFM Server URL** entry with a **Test** button (mirrors the Connection tab — GETs `/health` and shows the result)
- **Forward Interval / Quiescence / Missing-Report Grace / HTTP Timeout** spinboxes
- **State File** entry with a Browse... button (defaults to `<log dir>/sfm_forwarded.json` when blank)
- Save-time guard: enabling SFM Forward without filling in the URL shows a validation error rather than silently saving a non-functional config.
## [1.5.0] - 2026-05-09
### Added
- **SFM event forwarder.** When `SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED=true` and `SFM_URL` is set, every Blastware event binary is forwarded to an SFM server's `/db/import/blastware_file` endpoint as a multipart POST. The corresponding `<binary>.TXT` ASCII report (which Blastware's ACH writes alongside each event) is paired by filename and shipped in the same request, letting the SFM server index the full per-channel stats (PPV, ZC Freq, Time of Peak, Peak Acceleration / Displacement, Peak Vector Sum + time, sensor self-check Pass/Fail, monitor-log timestamps) without depending on the still-undecoded Blastware waveform body codec.
- **Idempotent forwarding.** Forwarded files are tracked by sha256 in a JSON state file (default `<log dir>/sfm_forwarded.json`, override via `SFM_STATE_FILE`). Re-scans don't re-POST and the state survives restarts / auto-updates.
- **Quiescence + grace-period guards.** Files modified within `SFM_QUIESCENCE_SECONDS` (default 5s) are skipped to avoid forwarding mid-write. If a binary's `.TXT` partner hasn't appeared after `SFM_MISSING_REPORT_GRACE_SECONDS` (default 60s), the binary is forwarded alone rather than blocking forever.
- New `event_forwarder.py` module + 17 unit tests in `test_event_forwarder.py` covering filename matching, state idempotency, scan logic, multipart encoding, and a fake-server end-to-end POST.
### Configuration
New `[agent]` keys (all default-off — existing 1.4.x deployments don't change behaviour on auto-update):
- `SFM_FORWARD_ENABLED` (default `false`)
- `SFM_URL` (e.g. `http://10.0.0.44:8200`)
- `SFM_FORWARD_INTERVAL_SECONDS` (default `60`)
- `SFM_QUIESCENCE_SECONDS` (default `5`)
- `SFM_MISSING_REPORT_GRACE_SECONDS` (default `60`)
- `SFM_HTTP_TIMEOUT` (default `60`)
- `SFM_STATE_FILE` (default: `<log dir>/sfm_forwarded.json`)
### Compatibility
- Requires SFM server v0.16+ (the `/db/import/blastware_file` endpoint that accepts paired `.TXT` reports — released alongside this watcher version on the seismo-relay side).
## [1.4.4] - 2026-03-17
### Removed
- `OK_HOURS` and `MISSING_HOURS` config keys and Settings dialog fields removed — unit status thresholds are calculated by terra-view from raw `age_minutes`, not by the watcher. These fields had no effect since v1.4.2.
## [1.4.3] - 2026-03-17
### Added
- Auto-updater now logs all activity to the watcher log file (`[updater]` prefix) — silent failures are now visible.
- Configurable update source: `UPDATE_SOURCE = gitea` (default), `url`, or `disabled`. In `url` mode the watcher fetches `version.txt` and the `.exe` from a custom base URL (e.g. terra-view) instead of the Gitea API — enables updates on isolated networks that cannot reach Gitea. `disabled` turns off automatic checks while keeping the remote push path (from terra-view) functional.
- New **Updates** tab in the Settings dialog to configure `UPDATE_SOURCE` and `UPDATE_URL`.
### Fixed
- Downloaded `.exe` is now validated before applying: absolute size floor (100 KB), relative size floor (50% of current exe), and MZ magic bytes check. A corrupt or truncated download is now rejected and logged rather than silently overwriting the live exe.
- Swap `.bat` now backs up the current exe as `<exe>.old` before overwriting, providing a manual rollback copy if needed.
- Swap `.bat` retry loop is now capped at 5 attempts — was previously infinite if the file remained locked.
- Swap `.bat` now cleans up the temp download file on both success and failure.
## [1.4.2] - 2026-03-17
### Changed
- Tray icon color now reflects watcher + API health rather than unit ages — green=API OK, amber=API disabled, red=API failing, purple=watcher error.
- Status menu text updated to show `Running — API OK | N unit(s) | scan Xm ago`.
- Units submenu removed from tray — status tracking for individual units is handled by terra-view, not the watcher.
- Unit list still logged to console and log file for debugging, but no OK/Pending/Missing judgement applied.
- `watcher_status` field added to heartbeat payload so terra-view receives accurate watcher health data.
## [1.4.1] - 2026-03-17
### Fixed
- `config.ini` now saves to `AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\` instead of `Program Files` — fixes permission denied error on first-run wizard save.
- Config path resolution in both `series3_tray.py` and `series3_watcher.py` updated to use `sys.frozen` + `LOCALAPPDATA` when running as a PyInstaller `.exe`.
- Status menu item now uses a callable so it updates every time the menu opens — was showing stale "Starting..." while tooltip correctly showed current status.
- Settings dialog now opens in its own thread — fixes unresponsive tabs and text fields while the watcher loop is running.
- Tray icon reverted to plain colored dot — custom icon graphic was unreadable at 16px tray size. `.ico` file is still used for the `.exe` file icon.
### Changed
- Terra-View URL field in settings wizard now accepts base URL only (e.g. `http://192.168.x.x:8000`) — `/api/series3/heartbeat` endpoint appended automatically.
- Test Connection button now hits `/health` endpoint instead of posting a fake heartbeat — no database side effects.
- "terra-view URL" label capitalized to "Terra-View URL".
- Default log path updated to `AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\agent_logs\series3_watcher.log`.
- Installer now creates `agent_logs\` folder on install.
- `BUILDING.md` added — step-by-step guide for building, releasing, and updating.
## [1.4.0] - 2026-03-12
### Added
- `series3_tray.py` — system tray launcher using `pystray` + `Pillow`. Color-coded icon (green=OK, amber=Pending, red=Missing, purple=Error, grey=Starting). Right-click menu shows live status, unit count, last scan age, Open Log Folder, and Exit.
- `run_watcher(state, stop_event)` in `series3_watcher.py` for background thread use by the tray. Shared `state` dict updated on every scan cycle with status, unit list, last scan time, and last error.
- Interruptible sleep in watcher loop — tray exit is immediate, no waiting out the full scan interval.
### Changed
- `main()` now calls `run_watcher()` — standalone behavior unchanged.
- `requirements.txt` updated to document tray dependencies (`pystray`, `Pillow`); watcher itself remains stdlib-only.
---
## [1.3.0] - 2026-03-12
### Changed
- Renamed program to "series3-watcher" and main script to `series3_watcher.py` — better reflects what it does (watches for activity) rather than implying active data emission.
- Default `SOURCE_TYPE` updated to `series3_watcher`.
- Default log filename updated to `series3_watcher.log`.
---
## [1.2.1] - 2026-03-03
### Changed
- Changed the name of the program to "series3-agent", this was done to align with the s4/thor agent and because it represents the program's functionality better.
- All instances of "emitter" changed to agent.
- config.ini added to .gitignore, replaced with a template example file.
- README.md updated to reflect changes.
---
## [1.2.0] - 2025-12-04
### Changed
- Removed roster CSV dependency and all Dropbox refresh/hot-reload logic; heartbeat now only enumerates `.MLG` files.
- Added `MAX_EVENT_AGE_DAYS` filter to ignore stale events and log when no recent activity exists.
- Simplified heartbeat output/logging to show detected units only; logging hardened to never crash the agent.
---
## [1.1.1] - 2025-12-02
### Added
- Example `config.ini` now ships with API heartbeat settings enabled (`API_ENABLED`, `API_URL`, `API_INTERVAL_SECONDS`, `SOURCE_ID`, `SOURCE_TYPE`).
---
## [1.1.0] - 2025-12-01
### Added
- Standardized SFM telemetry payload builder and periodic HTTP heartbeat POST via `urllib`.
- Config support for API heartbeat (`API_ENABLED`, `API_URL`, `API_INTERVAL_SECONDS`, `SOURCE_ID`, `SOURCE_TYPE`); payload includes file path/size metadata.
### Changed
- Refactored scanner to retain file paths and header sniff cache; reformatted logging/ANSI handling.
---
## [1.0.1] - 2025-11-20
### Added
- `API_URL` config key and `report_to_server` per-unit POST hook (adds `requests` dependency).
### Changed
- Example `config.ini` roster URL updated; merged into `main`.
---
## [1.0.0] - 2025-11-17
### Added
- **Automatic roster refresh** from Dropbox at a configurable interval (`ROSTER_REFRESH_MIN_SECONDS`).
- **Hot-reload** of roster file without restarting the script.
- **Failsafe reload:** if the new roster is missing or invalid, the previous good roster is retained.
- **Atomic roster downloads** (temp file in-place replace) to avoid partial/corrupted CSVs.
- **Startup config echo** printing WATCH_PATH, ROSTER_FILE, and ROSTER_URL visibility.
- **Active / Bench / Ignored** unit categories for clearer fleet status mapping.
### Fixed
- Removed stray `note=note_suffix` bug in the Unexpected Units section.
- Removed duplicate `import time`.
- Removed duplicate roster load during startup (roster now loads once).
- Cleaned indentation for Python 3.8 compatibility.
### Changed
- Reset versioning from legacy `v5.9 beta` to **v1.0.0** (clean semver baseline).
- Main script normalized as `series3_emitter.py` (later renamed to `series3_agent.py` in v1.2.1).
