Edward's diagnosis was exact: the manual /print-queue/ POST extracts
filament requirements from the 3MF and writes
required_filament_types + filament_overrides + ams_mapping onto the
queue item, but the VP queue-mode write path skipped all of that.
Net effect: scheduler reached its model-only-matching fallback and
auto-dispatched onto whatever printer was free regardless of loaded
colour.
Extract the scheduler's existing _get_filament_requirements 3MF
parser into a shared helper so the VP path can reuse it. VP's
_add_to_print_queue now populates required_filament_types
unconditionally (cheap; helps the scheduler reject obvious type
mismatches) and writes filament_overrides with force_color_match:
true per consumed slot when a new per-VP queue_force_color_match
toggle is on. Default off to preserve current behaviour for
upgraders.
UI: new toggle on VirtualPrinterCard, mode-gated to print_queue,
mirroring the existing auto-dispatch toggle. i18n: en + de
translated, other 6 locales seeded with English copy.
Schema: one nullable column on virtual_printers
(queue_force_color_match BOOLEAN, default 0/FALSE).
11 new backend tests (8 for the extracted parser, 3 for the VP
write path) + 6 new frontend tests (toggle render gating, default
state, click posts queue_force_color_match in update body).
Existing scheduler tests pass against the refactored helper.
README, CHANGELOG, website features page, and wiki virtual-printer
page all updated.
