RouterOS vs RouterBOOT distinction:
- Rename "Firmware Updates" → "RouterOS Updates" everywhere (Config tab,
dashboard banner, devices list tooltip) to accurately reflect what is
being updated
- Add RouterBOOT bootloader upgrade support as a distinct operation:
new DeviceCollector methods checkRouterboardUpgrade() and
installRouterboardUpgrade() using /system/routerboard/print and
/system/routerboard/upgrade
- New API endpoints: POST /api/devices/:id/check-routerboard and
POST /api/devices/:id/install-routerboard
- Daily poller now also checks RouterBOOT upgrade status while already
connected during firmware check cycle, with first-discovery alerts
Config tab update panel:
- Combine RouterOS and RouterBOOT into a single "Software & Firmware
Updates" card with two subsections separated by a divider
- Pre-populate both sections from stored DB state on load — no longer
requires a manual "Check" click to see a known pending update
- Enforce update order: when both are pending, show a blue info banner
explaining RouterOS must be installed first, and disable the
RouterBOOT "Upgrade & Reboot" button until the RouterOS update clears
- Fix GET /api/devices/:id to include firmware_update_available,
latest_ros_version, routerboard_upgrade_available, upgrade_firmware_version
(these were missing from the detail endpoint)
Dashboard & devices list:
- Combined amber banner now shows two distinct rows: RouterOS (N) with
device links and RouterBOOT (N) with device links — one dismiss for both
- Devices list: amber ArrowUpCircle = RouterOS update, blue Cpu icon =
RouterBOOT upgrade, each with distinct tooltips
- Fix GET /api/devices (list) to include routerboard_upgrade_available and
upgrade_firmware_version (these were missing, causing RouterBOOT
notifications to never appear on the dashboard)
DB migration:
- Add routerboard_upgrade_available BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE
- Add upgrade_firmware_version VARCHAR(20)
Discovery system fixes:
- Fix duplicate entries: replace single-key (mac || ip || identity) dedup
with three cross-referenced indexes so a neighbor seen via LLDP by one
device and via MNDP by another always merges into one row
- Fix offline devices persisting: handleDeviceFailure now deletes
topology_links for the offline device (same pattern as clients)
- Add periodic stale-link sweep every 15 min that removes topology_links
rows older than 20 min as a safety net for devices that go offline
without cleanly triggering handleDeviceFailure
Squash-merge of PR #28 from @denis-ev. All three review blockers addressed: encryption key management documented, string truncation replaced with skip+warn validation, and undefined return on duplicate merge fixed with proper 500. Local test stack verified against cloned prod DB — migrations, new features, and backend all clean.
