Frontend: Replace inline SpoolInfoCard/UnknownTagCard with full-screen
TagDetectedModal that auto-opens on NFC tag detection. Known spools show
remaining weight, fill bar, and offer "Assign to AMS" (new sub-modal with
printer selector + AMS slot grid) and "Sync Weight". Unknown tags offer
"Add to Inventory" and "Link to Spool". Modal stays open on tag removal,
won't re-open for dismissed tags, reopens on re-place after removal.
Daemon: Fix PN5180 NFC reader failing to detect tags. Each
activate_type_a() call returning None corrupts the PN5180 transceive
state, silently preventing all subsequent tag detection. Fixed by
performing a full hardware reset (RST pin toggle + RF re-init) before
every idle poll (~240ms, ~1.8 Hz rate). When a tag is present, a light
RF off/on cycle (13ms) resets the card from ACTIVE to IDLE state for
continuous re-selection. Also added error-based recovery, periodic
status logging, and accurate heartbeat NFC/scale health reporting.

Daemon: Fix PN5180 NFC reader failing to maintain tag detection. After a
successful SELECT the card stays in ACTIVE state and ignores subsequent
WUPA/REQA. Added a conditional RF off/on cycle (13ms) before each poll,
but only when a tag is present — resets card from ACTIVE to IDLE for
re-selection. The cycle is skipped when idle to avoid degrading reader
state with continuous RF toggling, which prevented new tags from being
detected after removal. Also added a preventive full hardware reset every
60s when idle to recover from deeper stuck states, error-based recovery
after 10 consecutive exceptions, and accurate heartbeat reporting of
NFC/scale health.

Daemon: Fix PN5180 NFC reader failing to maintain tag detection. After a
successful SELECT the card stays in ACTIVE state and ignores subsequent
WUPA/REQA, causing immediate false "tag removed" events. Added a brief
RF off/on cycle (13ms) before each poll to force cards back to IDLE
state. Also added a preventive full hardware reset every 60s when idle
to recover from deeper stuck states where activate_type_a() silently
returns None without exceptions. Heartbeat now reports actual nfc_ok/
scale_ok instead of hardcoded True.

Daemon: Fix PN5180 NFC reader silently stopping tag detection. The reader
drifts into a stuck state where activate_type_a() returns None without
raising exceptions, making error-based recovery useless. Changed the
preventive idle maintenance from a lightweight RF off/on cycle to a full
hardware reset (RST pin toggle + RF re-init) every 60s — the same reset
that a service restart performs. Also added error-based auto-recovery
after 10 consecutive exceptions, promoted poll errors to WARNING, added
periodic status logging, and fixed heartbeat to report actual nfc_ok/
scale_ok instead of hardcoded True.

When Bambuddy auth is enabled, the SpoolBuddy kiosk gets redirected to
the login page because ProtectedRoute requires a user from GET /auth/me,
which only handled JWT tokens. The kiosk daemon already has an API key
but couldn't use it to satisfy the frontend auth check.
- Backend: /auth/me now accepts API keys (Bearer bb_xxx or X-API-Key)
and returns a synthetic admin UserResponse with all permissions
- Frontend: AuthContext reads ?token= from URL on first load, stores in
localStorage, and strips from URL (prevents history/referrer leakage)
- Install script: kiosk URL now includes ?token=${API_KEY}
- Tests: 3 new integration tests (Bearer API key, X-API-Key header,
invalid key rejection)
When ADC noise kept the spread hovering around the 2g stability
threshold, the stable flag toggled every cycle, forcing a report with
a slightly different weight each time. Now only actual weight changes
of >=2g trigger reports. The stable flag is still included in each
report for consumers that need it.
5 samples at 100ms (500ms window) wasn't enough to smooth NAU7802 ADC
noise — the averaged value still varied by >2g between 1s report
intervals, and the stability state kept flipping, triggering a report
every cycle. Increased to 20 samples (2s window) so noise is smoothed
before reaching the reporting layer.
The daemon imports read_tag and scale_diag as bare modules, but they
live in spoolbuddy/scripts/ which isn't on sys.path when systemd runs
the daemon. Added scripts/ to sys.path at startup, resolved relative
to the module file. Also moved the read_tag import inside NFCReader's
try/except (was crashing the daemon instead of skipping gracefully)
and demoted hardware-not-available messages from ERROR to INFO.
NFCReader.__init__ imported read_tag and instantiated PN5180() outside
the try/except block, so a missing module crashed the entire daemon.
Moved the import inside the existing try/except so the daemon gracefully
skips NFC polling — matching the scale reader's existing behavior.
constructor before the try/except, so the FileNotFoundError was unhandled and crashed the entire daemon via asyncio.gather().
Now when the scale hardware isn't available (no /dev/i2c-0), it logs "Scale init failed" and sets self._ok = False, so scale_poll_loop will skip polling with "Scale not
available, skipping scale polling" — same graceful degradation the NFC reader already has.
SpoolBuddy turns a Raspberry Pi 4B with a PN5180 NFC reader and
NAU7802 scale into a filament management station that integrates
with Bambuddy via REST API and WebSocket.
Backend: SpoolBuddyDevice model, 10 REST endpoints (/spoolbuddy/*),
6 WebSocket broadcast types, background offline-detection watchdog.
RPi daemon: asyncio service with concurrent NFC polling (300ms,
MIFARE Classic + Bambu HKDF key derivation), scale reading (10 SPS,
5-sample moving average, stability detection), and 10s heartbeat
with exponential backoff reconnect.
Frontend: kiosk-optimized 1024x600 UI at /spoolbuddy with Dashboard
(live weight + NFC spool detection), AMS Overview, Inventory,
Printers, and Settings pages. useSpoolBuddyState reducer hook
driven by WebSocket CustomEvents.
i18n: all 6 locales (en, de, fr, it, ja, pt-BR).
