Replace the 3-dialog chain (category → description → projects) with a
single SchemaFormDialog that fetches schema data from the Silo REST API
and builds the UI dynamically at runtime.
New dialog features:
- Two-stage category picker (domain combo → subcategory combo)
- Dynamic property fields grouped by domain and common defaults
- Collapsible form sections (Identity, Sourcing, Details, Properties)
- Live part number preview via POST /api/generate-part-number
- Item type selection (part, assembly, consumable, tool)
- Sourcing fields (type, cost, URL)
- Project tagging via multi-select list
- Widget factory: string→QLineEdit, number→QDoubleSpinBox+unit,
boolean→QCheckBox
The form mirrors the React CreateItemPane.tsx layout and uses the same
API endpoints:
- GET /api/schemas/kindred-rd (category enum values)
- GET /api/schemas/kindred-rd/properties?category={code}
- GET /api/projects
- POST /api/items (via _client.create_item)
PySide6 requires the proper enum type QtCore.Qt.WindowModal, not the
raw integer 2. The integer form was accepted by PySide2/Qt5 but raises
TypeError in PySide6.
App.Document has no IsModified() method, causing Silo_Pull to crash with
AttributeError. The correct API is to get the Gui document and check its
Modified property, consistent with the pattern used elsewhere in this file
(lines 891, 913).
Replace QWebEngineView-based start page with a rich native Qt panel that
fetches items directly from the Silo REST API. QWebEngineView is not
available on conda-forge for Qt6.
Start panel features:
- Database Items list with search (from SiloClient.list_items)
- Recent Files list from FreeCAD preferences
- Real-time Activity Feed via SSE (SiloEventListener)
- Context menu: Open in Create, Open in Browser, Copy Part Number
- Open in Browser button (QDesktopServices)
- Catppuccin Mocha dark theme styling
URL scheme support:
- handle_kindred_url() function for kindred://item/{part_number} URLs
- Startup hook in InitGui.py for cold-start URL arguments
Closes#167
Replaces the default FreeCAD Start page with a dual-mode view:
- Online: QWebEngineView loading the Silo web app
- Offline: native Qt fallback with recent files and connectivity status
The command override is registered at InitGui.py load time, before
the C++ StartLauncher fires.
- Fix SSE listener URL: _listen() used '/api/events' but _get_api_url()
already returns a URL ending in '/api', producing '/api/api/events'.
Changed to '/events' to match _test_sse().
- Replace all Command.get().Activated() calls in silo_origin.py with
FreeCADGui.runCommand(). The C++ Gui::Command wrapper returned by
Command.get() does not expose .Activated() to Python.
Replace the dead-end warning in Silo_BOM with a question dialog that
offers to register the document via Silo_New. If the user accepts and
registration succeeds, the BOM dialog opens seamlessly.
Create silo-tag.svg, silo-rollback.svg, and silo-status.svg in the
Catppuccin Mocha style matching existing silo icons. These were
referenced by _icon() but did not exist, causing the commands to
render without toolbar icons.
Enhance the Database Activity panel in SiloAuthDockWidget:
- Show latest revision number and comment inline per activity entry
- Truncate long descriptions with ellipsis, full text in tooltip
- Mark locally checked-out items with green color and "local" badge
- Double-click opens local file or triggers checkout from server
- Right-click context menu: Open in Create, Open in Browser,
Copy Part Number, View Revisions
Closes#9
Replace the infinite fixed-delay retry loop with exponential backoff
(1s, 2s, 4s, ... capped at 60s) and a max retry limit of 10.
Changes to SiloEventListener:
- Expand connection_status signal to (status, retry_count, error_message)
- Add exponential backoff: min(BASE_DELAY * 2^retries, MAX_DELAY)
- Add terminal "gave_up" state after MAX_RETRIES exhausted
- Capture and forward error messages from failed connection attempts
Changes to SiloAuthDockWidget._on_sse_status:
- Show retry count: "Reconnecting (3/10)..."
- Show "Disconnected" (red) on gave_up state
- Log each attempt to FreeCAD console (PrintWarning/PrintError)
- Set tooltip with last error message on the status label
Closes#2
Add a diagnostics command that sequentially tests:
- DNS resolution of the server hostname
- Health endpoint (/health)
- Readiness endpoint (/ready)
- Auth endpoint (/auth/me) with token
- SSE event stream (/events)
Results are printed to the FreeCAD console with PASS/FAIL status.
Closes#3
Add a SiloStartPanel dock widget that shows connection status, local
checkouts, recent silo activity, and local recent files. Automatically
shown when the Silo workbench is activated.
Sections:
- Connection status badge (green/gray dot with hostname)
- My Checkouts: scans local projects dir for .FCStd files, shows part
number and description, double-click to open
- Recent Silo Activity: fetches from server, badges items present
locally, double-click to open or checkout
- Local Recent Files: reads FreeCAD MRU list, double-click to open
Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Panel is reused if already open.
Closes#5
Add server mode awareness to the FreeCAD client. The mode (normal,
read-only, degraded, offline) is fetched from the /ready endpoint on
each status refresh and updated in real-time via SSE server.state events.
Changes:
- Add _server_mode global and _fetch_server_mode() helper that queries
/ready and maps response status to mode string
- Add server_mode_changed signal to SiloEventListener, handle
server.state SSE events in _dispatch()
- Add mode banner to SiloAuthDockWidget: colored bar shown when server
is not in normal mode (yellow=read-only, orange=degraded, red=offline)
- Update _refresh_status() to fetch mode and update banner
- Disable write commands (New, Save, Commit, Push) when server is not
in normal mode via IsActive() checks
Closes#4
The freecad/ directory is not a Python package (no __init__.py) — it is
added directly to sys.path by FreeCAD. The relative import
'from .silo_commands import ...' fails when silo_origin is imported as a
top-level module, causing Silo origin registration to silently fail.
Change to absolute import 'from silo_commands import ...' to match
the import style used everywhere else in the directory.
Remove the separate Silo workbench toolbar and Silo_ToggleMode command.
File operations (New/Open/Save) are now handled by the standard File
toolbar via the origin system. The Silo menu retains admin commands
(Settings, Auth, Info, BOM, TagProjects, SetStatus, Rollback).
Closes#65
- Add missing _get_auth_token() function that caused NameError in Settings
- Replace _client.auth_username/role/source() calls with _get_auth_*()
helpers (methods don't exist on SiloClient, crashed auth dock widget)
- Fix connect() in silo_origin.py to show login dialog instead of just
revealing the dock panel (was using non-existent Command.get() API)
- Separate toolbar (file ops) from menu (admin/management commands)
- Remove DEBUG logging from Silo_Save command
- Fix long line formatting in silo_origin.py
FreeCAD workbench for Silo PLM integration. Uses shared silo-client
package (submodule) for API communication.
Changes from monorepo version:
- SiloClient class removed, imported from silo_client package
- FreeCADSiloSettings adapter wraps FreeCAD.ParamGet() preferences
- Init.py adds silo-client to sys.path at startup
- All command classes and UI unchanged
