DTLRepo always ran a clone or a fetch, even when REPO_PATH already
held the library contents locally. validate_git_url() rejected the
old 'local' value outright, and even a valid URL still triggered a
real git fetch against the remote on every run.

REPO_URL=local now skips Repo(), clone_from(), and fetch() entirely.
REPO_PATH is used as-is and must already contain device-types/,
module-types/, and rack-types/ (no .git required, and none is used).
… export (#126)

* fix(repo): validate the local library layout and share the check with export

REPO_URL=local only checked that REPO_PATH was a directory. An unrelated or
empty path passed that check, and discover_vendors skips type directories that
are absent, so the run imported nothing and still exited 0.

Export mode already had the check it needed, in
Exporter._verify_repo_available. Both sides now read one definition of what
makes a checkout a library: LIBRARY_TYPE_DIRS and library_dirs_present() in
core/repo.py. The sentinel value moves to LOCAL_REPO_URL in core/config.py,
beside the other REPO_* defaults, so config and repo cannot drift on it.

Local mode still skips validate_repo_path on purpose: that check demands write
access, which a read-only or air-gapped mount cannot give, and no import step
writes to REPO_PATH. A test pins the read-only case.

REPO_BRANCH is ignored under the sentinel, so a run that sets both now says so
through the existing config notice mechanism instead of looking like it checked
the branch out.

Documents the mode in the README and .env.example, including the read-only
Docker mount, which is the case that motivated the sentinel.

* fix(import): treat an absent type root as empty instead of crashing

The layout check accepts any one of device-types/, module-types/, and
rack-types/, matching what export mode already accepted. plan_vendor then
called get_devices() on all three regardless, and get_devices() lists the
directory, so a local checkout holding only some of them raised
FileNotFoundError before importing the types it did hold. A device-types-only
library is the likeliest local layout, and it crashed on module-types.

_parse_vendor_racks already had the guard this needed. It is now
_parse_vendor_files and all three roots go through it, so the guard cannot
apply to one root and not the others again.

The repo mock in test_nb_dt_import pointed at /tmp/devices, /tmp/modules and
/tmp/rack-types, paths that never existed. Nothing stat'd them, so the mock
passed for a filesystem that was not there, which is why this went unseen. It
now points at a real empty library tree, and the tests that matched on those
literal paths match on the directory names instead.

Found by CodeRabbit on #126.
develop carried two commits, #124 and #126, whose work reached main through
wholesale so the two branches hold the same code, while keeping both histories
attached rather than force-pushing over develop.
Closes #78.

NetBox 4.5 replaced FrontPortTemplate's rear_port foreign key and
rear_port_position integer with a through table, so one front port can occupy
several positions across several rear ports. The export wrote only the first
mapping and warned about the rest, and it wrote them inline on the front-port
entry. The device-type library has since taken the same model: a front-port
entry carries no rear port at all, the linkage lives in a top-level
port-mappings stanza, and additionalProperties is false, so the old shape no
longer validates.

The export now writes every mapping into that stanza with all four fields. A
server below 4.5 answers with the rear_port and rear_port_position scalars
instead; those describe one mapping, so they are written as one entry rather
than dropped, because the output format follows the library schema and not the
server release.

The library also made positions required on front and rear ports, and writes
it even when it is 1, so it is no longer omitted at its default and the front
port row selects it. positions arrived with the mapping model, so the pre-4.5
tiers of the front-port query fallback must not ask for it: leaving it in made
every tier fail the same way and took the whole front-port preload down on a
server that would have answered the older shape.

Verified the output against the real schema/devicetype.json from the library,
and round-tripped it back through normalize_port_mappings, which reads the
stanza and rebuilds the same per-port mappings.
The DTL front-port schema makes positions required, but the field arrived
with the NetBox 4.5 mapping model. The pre-4.5 query tiers do not select it,
so _serialize_component found no value and omitted the key, and every
front-port entry exported from an older server failed schema validation.

Default an absent positions to 1, which is what a pre-4.5 front port occupies:
one rear-port position. positions is the last registry field, so the key lands
in the same slot the 4.5 path produces and the YAML order does not change with
the server version.

Review finding: #134 (comment)
The library schema requires a position on every module bay, but NetBox
leaves the field blank when a bay names no physical slot. A blank string
writes no key, so the exported entry silently omits a required field and
the file fails validation only later, in the library CI.

Name the offending bays as each file is written, so the operator sees which
type needs a position before opening a library PR. The export still writes
the file: NetBox is the source of truth here, and there is no correct value
to invent, unlike front-port positions where one position is implied.

module_bays_missing_position keeps the schema fact next to the serializer
that produces the entries, and the exporter owns the logging as it does for
the other write-time warnings.
…135)

Closes #133.

The importer refuses anything below NetBox 4.3, so three of the five feature
flags can no longer be false on a server it will talk to: modules is a 3.2
threshold, new_filters and rack_types are 4.1 thresholds. The branches behind
them were still carried, threaded through three constructors and asserted on.

Removed the three flags and kept the true side of every branch they guarded.
m2m_front_ports and module_bay_types still vary across supported releases and
are untouched.

core/compat.py keeps its version helpers, which #132 added and both entry points
use; only the four filter-key helpers go, because the devicetype_id and
moduletype_id spelling they chose between is unreachable at 4.1 and later. The
issue predates those helpers and called for deleting the module outright.

Tests that asserted the removed behaviour are deleted rather than adapted: a
test that pins the legacy filter name or the rack-types skip is asserting what
no supported deployment executes. Four filter-key tests collapse into two that
say the supported key is the only one ever sent, which still catches the failure
that mattered, since the wrong key does not raise but silently returns every
row.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds module bay relation resolution, capability detection, export mapping support, a NetBox 4.3 minimum version, cleartext URL notices, manifest schema tracking, and explicit-list repository normalization.

Changes

Module bay synchronization and compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relation resolution and synchronization
core/component_registry.py, core/module_bay_types.py, core/change_detector.py, core/graphql_client.py, core/netbox_api.py, tests/test_module_bay_types.py, tests/test_module_bay_type_sync.py, tests/test_relation_scope.py
Relations now use manufacturer-scoped catalog identities. GraphQL queries select relations only when supported. Create and update paths resolve relation names to NetBox IDs.
Serialization and mapping normalization
core/nb_serializer.py, core/repo.py, core/export.py, tests/test_nb_serializer.py, tests/test_repo.py, tests/test_exporter.py
Serialization emits relation names and top-level port mappings. Explicit mapping lists are authoritative. Mapping order no longer affects export comparison.
Version handling and compatibility cleanup
core/compat.py, core/component_cache.py, core/update_failure_resolver.py, core/import_run.py, core/netbox_api.py, tests/test_netbox_api.py, tests/test_nb_dt_import.py
NetBox versions below 4.3 are rejected. Legacy filter helpers and removed feature flags are no longer used. Module and rack type processing is unconditional for supported versions.
Configuration, manifest, and test infrastructure
core/config.py, core/export_manifest.py, tests/config.py, tests/test_export_manifest.py, tests/helpers.py, tests/test_suite_hygiene.py
Remote cleartext HTTP URLs produce notices. Export entries store schema revisions. Test infrastructure supports status probes, REST operations, catalog fixtures, and server cleanup.

Explanation

[#133] removes the modules, new_filters, and rack_types compatibility paths and retains the version-dependent m2m_front_ports and module_bay_types behavior. [#78] adds the top-level port-mappings export, GraphQL mapping fields, preservation of all mappings, and regression tests. However, core/repo.py changes importer behavior for null, malformed, empty, omitted, and mixed inline/stanza mapping cases. Issue #78 requires existing importer behavior to remain unchanged and states that no import-path changes are required.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

core/config.py adds cleartext HTTP token warnings, and tests/test_config.py adds tests for that behavior. These changes do not implement [#78] or [#133]. The core/repo.py importer-policy changes also exceed [#78], which requires importer compatibility rather than new null, omission, clearing, and conflict rules.

Comment thread core/nb_serializer.py
The export now always writes positions, because the library schema requires it.
_is_subset needs every NetBox leaf to be present in the repo YAML, so a library
entry that omits positions no longer matched the serialized positions: 1 and the
whole definition read as differing. On a library that omits the field, an export
would rewrite every such file.

Fill an absent front-port positions with 1 on both sides before comparing. The
default is what an omitted value means, so this restores the old comparison
without giving up the field the schema requires. A non-default value still
differs: the merge puts the default first so an explicit value wins.

Rejected the alternative of adding positions to _OMIT_IF_EQUAL: that would drop
the key from the output again and reintroduce the schema violation fixed in 43480e7.

Review finding: #136 (comment)
The API token travels in an Authorization header on every request, including the
/api/status/ probe added for module bay type detection. An http:// NETBOX_URL
pointing off this machine puts that token on the wire in cleartext (CWE-319).

Add a startup notice through the existing notices channel, so it covers the
importer and the export alike from the one place NETBOX_URL is resolved.

Warn rather than reject. Plain HTTP to NetBox on a trusted network is a common
deployment, the tool already carries IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS for imperfect transport,
and a hard failure would break those users with no upgrade path. Loopback is
exempt: it never leaves the host, and the integration tests run against it.

Comment thread core/change_detector.py
ModuleBayTypeError carried two failures of different severity. A name that
does not resolve is per definition, and every caller recovers from it to
report that one definition and continue. An unreadable, malformed or
duplicated catalog file is terminal: nothing in the catalog can be trusted.

Because both raised the same type, those per-definition handlers caught the
terminal one too. A single broken catalog file was reported as one skipped
component after another, and _load_catalog's own docstring already claimed
the failure "is terminal for the run" while the code made it anything but.

ModuleBayCatalogError is a sibling of ModuleBayTypeError under FatalError,
never a subclass, so the existing `except ModuleBayTypeError` handlers let
it through and the run ends once with the real reason. The three load
failures in _read_catalog raise it; per-name lookups and per-definition
NetBox rejections keep ModuleBayTypeError.

The four catalog-reading tests that asserted the old shared type now assert
the new one, which is the behaviour change this makes.

Also reuse the already-fetched nb_version in the two version log lines.
Each pynetbox `version` access is another HTTP request, and both of these
sat outside the try that maps transport failures to NetBoxError, so a
connection drop there escaped unmapped.

Make catalog traversal failures terminal.

os.walk() suppresses directory-scanning OSError without an onerror callback. If a manufacturer directory cannot be read, this code builds a partial catalog. A same-named Generic entry can then resolve and write the wrong module_bay_types relation instead of raising ModuleBayCatalogError.

Six findings from review, five of them variations on the same shape: a
boundary that accepts or skips something quietly, so the failure surfaces
later as wrong data rather than as an error.

- os.walk suppresses a directory it cannot read. A manufacturer directory
  that fails to open produced a short catalog, and a same-named Generic
  entry then answered in its place, writing the wrong module_bay_types
  relation. An onerror callback makes the traversal error terminal.
- A catalog document that parses to a list or a scalar was skipped in the
  same silent way. Only an empty document is skipped now; any other
  non-mapping is refused.
- The /api/status/ probe read a missing netbox-version as "", which answers
  "module bay types unsupported" for a 4.7 server and exports without the
  relation. A non-mapping body raised a bare AttributeError. Both are now
  GraphQLError.
- _is_relation_list and _type_relation_changes accepted a whitespace-only
  name that the catalog rejects later, which skipped the whole component's
  update. Both strip before testing, matching the catalog.
- The export manifest recorded only last_updated. An unchanged NetBox
  record keeps that timestamp forever, so an old manifest skipped exactly
  the types a new output shape was added for. Entries now carry
  EXPORT_SCHEMA_REVISION and an older revision is not fresh.
- The cleartext-token notice parsed the URL with urlparse, which reads
  "http://10.0.0.1\@localhost" as loopback where requests targets
  10.0.0.1. Backslashes are normalized before parsing.

The GraphQL session fixture never configured session.get, so the status
probe read a synthesized MagicMock and any shape check on the payload saw
something no NetBox would return. It now serves a real status body, which
is what surfaced the probe finding in eight existing tests.
The unreadable-directory test only needs the directory readable again so
tmp_path cleanup can remove it, so 0o700 does the job. 0o755 hands the
group and world access the test never needed, which bandit's S103 flags.

All three lose or skip data without saying anything.

- Adding a mapping to a front port that NetBox 4.5+ reports as unmapped did
  nothing at all. mappings=[] carries no rear port name, and the comparison
  inferred the model from the data, so an empty list read as a pre-4.5
  record and produced a positions-only tuple. _build_mappings_patch returns
  None for that, so no PATCH was sent and nothing was logged. The record
  wrapper now records which model it read instead of leaving it to be
  guessed.

- Exporting from a server below 4.7 stripped module_bay_types from every
  definition it wrote. The relation is never queried there, so its absence
  means "not asked", not "cleared", but the writer preserved only absent
  non-list top-level fields and took component lists wholly from NetBox.
  Change one description and the restriction was gone. Relations the server
  cannot answer for are now carried back from the repo, matched by name; a
  server that does answer stays authoritative, which a second test pins.

- The cleartext-token notice could abort the run. urlparse rejects some
  authorities with ValueError, which escapes the ConfigError handler and
  reaches the user as a traceback on a configuration that worked before.
  An authority this tool cannot read is also one it cannot clear as
  loopback, so it warns rather than raising.

Also guards os.geteuid, which does not exist on Windows, so the permission
test skips instead of erroring during collection.
… move

Three more silent paths from the same review, all on the pre-4.5 mapping
model, plus the stanza case that could not express a removal.

- A front port moved from RP1 to RP2 produced no change, no PATCH and no
  warning. The pre-4.5 query does ask for rear_port { id name }, but the
  record wrapper discarded the name, leaving only positions to compare, and
  the positions had not changed. The wrapper keeps the name now, and the
  comparison uses names whenever one is available.

- The update path truncated several mappings to one in silence, where the
  create path already said so. Both now report it through
  _log_component_error, so the text reaches the outcome reason instead of
  scrolling past. This does not reclassify the outcome itself.

- Which mapping survived that truncation was arbitrary: the winner came from
  next(iter(frozenset)). It is the sorted first now, so two runs against the
  same library agree.

- port-mappings: [] could not clear anything. An empty stanza fell back to
  the inline format and no front port received _mappings: [], so a removal
  was unrepresentable. An explicitly empty stanza is authoritative now, and
  an empty stanza beside a surviving inline rear_port is a conflict rather
  than a silent preference. An absent key still means "no opinion", which a
  test pins, because reading it as empty would clear every file.

normalize_port_mappings passed the complexity gate as a result, so the
inline collection and the conflict check moved into helpers.

Also asserts the written file in two export warning tests. They checked only
that no warning appeared, which would hold if the writer never ran.
Each half of a composite assert reports which condition failed, and dict is
the callable the stub wanted. Caught by the widened rule set on the branch
that enables PT018 and PIE807.

…conflict

`_conflicting_mapping` compared the union of front-port names, so any name that
appeared in only one of the two formats was reported as a conflict against an
empty shape. Two consequences.

A front port the stanza never mentions was reported as
"conflicting mapping definitions (inline: [('RP1', 1, 1)], port-mappings
stanza: [])", which names a stanza that has no opinion on that port. The
rejection is still correct: `port-mappings: []` clears every front port, so a
stanza speaks for the whole file and an inline linkage it omits cannot be
honoured. Only the diagnostic was wrong, so it now says the stanza is
authoritative and how to resolve it.

A front port the stanza alone named was also rejected, which blocked the
half-finished migration the two formats exist to allow: FP1 kept inline and
FP2 moved to the stanza. Such a port had no inline linkage, so nothing
disagrees. The loop now walks only the inline names.

Iteration was over a set, so with several offending ports the reported name
varied between runs. It is sorted now.

Selecting `effective = stanza_mappings` stays safe: once the check passes,
every inline name is present in the stanza with an equal shape, so no inline
mapping can be dropped.

Extract the module_bay_types relation fragment instead of hand-rolling it here.

get_module_types builds its own multi-line string for the module_bay_types selection. core/component_registry.py's ComponentType.graphql_relation_fields already builds the same shape for component templates: f"{name} {{ id name slug manufacturer {{ slug }} }}".

Two independent representations of the same relation selection can drift: a future change to the relation fields (for example, adding a field needed by the catalog resolver) requires updating both places, and a missed update produces an inconsistent query between module types and component templates.

Extract a small shared helper (for example in core/component_registry.py) that both call sites use for building a relation selection fragment.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-        module_bay_type_selection = (
-            "module_bay_types {\n              id\n              name\n              slug\n"
-            "              manufacturer {\n                slug\n              }\n            }\n            "

+            f"{relation_selection('module_bay_types')}\n            " if self.supports_module_bay_types else ""
+        )

Where relation_selection is a new shared function in core/component_registry.py:

def relation_selection(name: str) -> str:
    """GraphQL selection for a relation field: identity plus owning manufacturer."""
    return f"{name} {{ id name slug manufacturer {{ slug }} }}"

ComponentType.graphql_relation_fields can then call relation_selection(name) too.

172-183: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Sort mappings before appending to avoid order-dependent diffs.

_port_mappings preserves the order of record.mappings. These entries have no "name" key, so core.export._is_subset compares the lists positionally. If NetBox returns the same mappings in a different order, _repo_supersedes can report "differs" and re-export unchanged data.

Rename the catalog property to avoid the collision with the support flag.

DeviceTypes.module_bay_types returns the ModuleBayTypeCatalog. NetBox.module_bay_types is a boolean support flag. _type_relation_changes reads both in the same function: self.module_bay_types for the flag and self.device_types.module_bay_types for the catalog. The current code is correct, but one mistaken receiver silently disables the relation instead of failing. A distinct name, for example module_bay_type_catalog, removes that risk.

Both changes are mechanical. No behavior changes.

`DeviceTypes.module_bay_types` returned the catalog while `NetBox.module_bay_types`
is the boolean support flag, and `_type_relation_changes` reads both in one
function. The code was correct, but a mistaken receiver silently disabled the
relation instead of failing, because a falsy catalog and a False flag read the
same at the call site. The catalog is now `module_bay_type_catalog`. No alias is
left behind.

`get_module_types` hand-rolled the GraphQL selection for `module_bay_types`, which
`ComponentType.graphql_relation_fields` already builds for component templates.
Two spellings of one relation shape drift as soon as the relation gains a field.
Both now come from `relation_selection` in the component registry, and the module
type query derives its relation list from `MODULE_TYPE_RELATIONS` rather than a
literal. GraphQL ignores the whitespace the extracted form changes.

`test_relation_selections_use_the_shared_helper` asserted on call names, so it
still passed with `relation_selection` returning an empty string. It now compares
the generated selection text and the query actually sent.
A bare `port-mappings:` key parses as None. `normalize_port_mappings` decided the
stanza was present from key presence alone, so None read the same as an explicit
`port-mappings: []` and every front port was assigned `_mappings: []`. The update
path writes that to NetBox as a clear, so a one-character typo deleted every
front-to-rear mapping on the type. `core/change_detector.py` already stated the
opposite rule for the identical YAML shape, that a bare `module_bay_types:` leaves
the relation unmanaged, so the two sides disagreed. The rule is now
`is_explicit_list` in `core/normalization.py` and both sides call it.

A stanza that is neither null nor a list was silently discarded and reported
success, and a list holding a non-mapping raised AttributeError out of a function
whose contract is to return an "Error:" string. Both now return an error naming the
offending value. This is deliberately stricter than `_relation_change`, which logs
and ignores the same shape: that path skips one property, this one rejects the file.

A nonempty stanza left a front port it omits unmanaged, so an existing linkage on
that port could never be removed. `port-mappings: []` already cleared every
declared front port, which means a present stanza speaks for the whole file, and a
nonempty one now does too. A half-migrated file still fails the existing conflict
check before reaching the clearing path, which is what stops a migration from
deleting a mapping. Measured against the library: 348 files carry a stanza and
every one already lists every front port it declares, so no current definition
changes.

Mapping order was not canonical. `_is_subset` compares lists of unnamed dicts
positionally, so the same mappings in a different order reported "differs" and
re-exported unchanged data. The serializer now emits them sorted, and
`_repo_supersedes` sorts both inputs, so a hand-written stanza in another order
also compares equal. Sorting keeps duplicates, so multiplicity still differs.

Three tests could not fail: two compared a value against a list the same emptiness
made equal, and one bypassed export selection by supplying its result. Each now
fails against a mutation of the code it covers.

132-142: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve queried-empty relation state during export. For supported NetBox versions, _serialize_relations drops an empty module_bay_types list. _repo_supersedes can then treat a repository bay with a stale non-empty relation as a superset, so the export skips it and _write_export_items never clears it. Preserve omission when the relation was not queried, but distinguish a queried empty relation: compare it as [], treat a missing repository key as equivalent, and treat a non-empty repository value as different.

229-231: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Emit port-mappings: [] for an explicitly empty queried mapping set. When front-port records have no mappings, _port_mappings() returns [], and _add_components() omits the key. _repo_supersedes() then treats the NetBox output as a subset of the repository YAML, so export skips the type and leaves stale mappings intact. Add the empty stanza when front_port_templates is present in type_components; this makes the comparison detect the deletion and lets normalize_port_mappings() clear each front port's _mappings.

With the flag off the importer tells the user "will not remove components from
existing models". Clearing a front-to-rear linkage removes data, but it reaches
NetBox as a `_mappings` property change on an existing component, not as a
COMPONENT_REMOVED, so it never passed the gate and applied under a plain --update.

`_without_gated_mapping_clears` drops a `_mappings` change whose new value is a
strict subset of the old one, which is the case where mappings only go away.
Repointing a front port to another rear port still applies, and a component that
also carries other property changes keeps them. The filter runs before
`_count_actionable_component_changes` at both call sites, so the reported count
and the applied changes cannot disagree. Affected ports are named once per type,
with the same hint the startup notice uses.

This closes a gap that predates the omission change: `port-mappings: []` could
already clear every front port without the flag.

`update_components` still clears when handed such a change, which is what the two
existing write-boundary tests cover. The gate sits above it, with the run
configuration, rather than at the write.
