Changelog

v30.2.1Admin User Removal
  • Added an Admin-only Remove User action to User Management.
  • Removal deletes the user's Firebase Authentication account and Firestore user-role record, revokes refresh tokens, and signs an already-open web session out when its authorization record disappears.
  • Admins cannot remove their own currently signed-in account, and the backend prevents removal or demotion of the last remaining Admin.
  • Added User / Remove User entries to the Audit Trail so account removals are attributable.
  • Tightened asset and activity reads so authenticated web users must still have an authorized user record; the iPhone app's anonymous-auth read path remains supported.
  • This release requires Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, and Hosting deployment; the one-click updater handles all three automatically.
v30.2.0Reports / Export Center
  • Added a Reports / Export Center available from the main action row.
  • Added Current Deployed Inventory, Current Inventory, Active Unit Deployments, Asset History, Deployment History, Equipment Utilization, and Audit Trail reports.
  • Added asset-type and Eastern-Time date filters where applicable, with historical reports loading up to the 5,000 most recent Audit Trail records on demand.
  • Added downloadable CSV exports plus a print-friendly report view that can be printed or saved as PDF from the browser.
  • Out-of-Service reporting is intentionally reserved until an Out-of-Service status is added to the asset model.
  • No Firestore schema, Rules, Cloud Functions, or authentication changes are required.
v30.1.2Header Status + Expanded Automated Coverage
  • Moved the version, Firestore connection status, and signed-in role/user badges into a compact status row directly below the main Audit Trail / Users / Changelog / theme / Sign Out action row.
  • Removed those badges from the Live Status heading so the asset workspace stays cleaner and the connection/user state is visible near the primary navigation.
  • Added comprehensive automated UI-contract coverage that verifies every static DOM dependency referenced by the main tracker and Audit Trail JavaScript, catches duplicate IDs, validates release/cache versions, and protects the new header-status placement.
  • Added additional core edge-case regression coverage for inventory, normalization, identity aliases, timestamps, deployment helpers, validation, and batch parsing.
  • No Firestore data, Rules, Cloud Functions, authentication, or collection-schema changes.
v30.1.1Collapsible Operations Overview
  • Simplified the main dashboard by collapsing the new Operations Overview by default.
  • Kept the existing asset-type overview cards visible while moving Current Inventory, Active Unit Deployments, Most Recently Deployed, Longest Outstanding, and Recent Activity behind one expandable Operations Overview control.
  • Preserved the full v30.1.0 Operations Overview and Asset History functionality without changing Firestore data, Rules, or Cloud Functions.
v30.1.0Operations Overview + Asset History
  • Added a command-level Operations Overview spanning Radios, Phones, MDTs, and EPCRs.
  • Added live inventory totals, active Unit Deployments, recently deployed assets, longest-outstanding assets, and recent activity.
  • Added a History action to every asset card with a per-asset timeline sourced from the existing audit log.
  • Asset History shows status transitions, person or unit, assignment, comments, editor, radio accessories, and event time when available.
  • Uses the existing Firestore collections and audit records; no data migration, Rules deployment, or Cloud Functions deployment is required.
v30.0.0Stabilization Baseline + Semantic Versioning
  • Started the permanent Major.Minor.Patch versioning system: major releases are stabilization baselines, minor releases add capabilities, and patch releases fix or refine existing behavior.
  • Completed a full web/backend contract audit covering Firestore collections, roles, Cloud Functions exports, deployment IDs, audit records, iPhone compatibility aliases, and hosting boundaries.
  • Fixed a latent global Sign In Multiple return bug: cross-type results now resolve the selected Radio, Phone, MDT, or EPCR from the full inventory when the return is actually submitted.
  • Global batch-return selections now use type-qualified keys so similarly named or keyed assets in different collections cannot collide.
  • Added automated configuration and backend audit commands and repaired the previously incomplete npm verify workflow.
  • Replaced the version-specific preflight workflow with a reusable release preflight while retaining the old v28 command as a compatibility wrapper.
  • Documented the v30 architecture, release process, semantic-versioning rules, backend audit findings, and known intentional security boundary.
  • Preserved the transitional iPhone write compatibility path; no authentication/security migration was mixed into this stabilization release.
  • No Firestore data migration, Firestore Rules deployment, or Cloud Functions deployment is required.
  • Preserved the complete historical changelog.
v29.2.2Batch Return Window Runtime Fix
  • Fixed a JavaScript runtime error that prevented Sign In Multiple from opening after the global equipment search change.
  • Global Sign In Multiple continues to include deployed Radios, Phones, MDTs, and EPCRs regardless of the selected main equipment tab.
  • Corrected equipment-type sorting to use the keys of the ASSET_TYPES configuration object.
  • Added regression coverage for this exact runtime error.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, authentication, or collection-schema changes.
v29.2.1Global Batch Return Search Fix
  • Sign In Multiple now loads deployed assets from all equipment types instead of only the currently selected equipment tab.
  • Searching from Radios can now find deployed Phones, MDTs, and EPCRs, and vice versa.
  • Search continues to match asset, Unit, Full Name, and Assignment.
  • Select All continues to affect only visible filtered results.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, authentication, or collection-schema changes.
v29.2Editable Unit Deployments + Batch Return Search
  • Added Edit Deployment to active Unit Deployments in the Deployed Units view.
  • Editors/Admins can add available Radios, Phones, MDTs, or EPCRs to the same existing Unit Deployment without creating a new deployment ID.
  • Editors/Admins can uncheck currently deployed assets to return only those assets while the rest of the Unit Deployment stays active.
  • Unit Name, optional Full Name, and Comments can be updated across assets that remain in the Unit Deployment.
  • New radios added during an edit receive the selected radio accessories; radios already deployed keep their existing accessory assignments.
  • Edit mode shows current assets, additions, and returns before saving.
  • Added search to Sign In Multiple, including asset, unit, person, and assignment text.
  • Select All in Sign In Multiple selects only the currently visible search results.
  • Audit Trail records Unit Deployment Edit, Unit Asset Added, and Unit Asset Removed actions.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, iPhone authentication, or collection-schema changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v29.1Paired Asset Return
  • Added Sign In Radio + Phone for radios and Surge phones that were originally signed out together.
  • The paired-return option is available from either member of the pair while both assets are still deployed together.
  • Pair matching requires the same deployment ID plus reciprocal radio/phone links, preventing unrelated assets from being returned accidentally.
  • Individual Sign In remains available when only one asset should be returned.
  • Paired returns use one atomic multi-asset Firestore write and clear deployment/link metadata on both assets.
  • Audit Trail records a Paired Sign In entry for each returned asset and preserves the prior deployment information for history.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, iPhone authentication, or asset-schema changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v29Unit Operations
  • Added a Deployed Units view showing every active Unit Deployment and the Radios, Phones, MDTs, and EPCRs assigned with it.
  • Radio entries in Deployed Units show the additional equipment deployed with each radio.
  • Deployed Units shows the Unit Name, optional Full Name, active asset count, equipment-type totals, and latest deployment update time.
  • Editors and Admins can Sign In Entire Unit directly from the Deployed Units view.
  • Individual Sign In now also offers Sign In Entire Unit when multiple assets from the same Unit Deployment remain deployed.
  • Entire-unit returns use the shared deployment ID, so unrelated deployments with the same Unit Name are never returned accidentally.
  • Viewers can inspect Deployed Units but cannot perform returns.
  • Audit Trail records each returned asset as Unit Sign In and includes Unit Deployment and Unit Sign In filters.
  • Legacy unit deployments without deployment IDs remain visible but must be signed in individually.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, or iPhone authentication changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v28.3Unit Deployment Optional Name
  • Added an optional Full Name field to Unit Deployment.
  • When Unit Name and Full Name are both entered, selected assets store and display both values.
  • Unit Name remains required and Full Name remains optional.
  • Kept the Unit Deployment window compact by placing Unit Name and Full Name side-by-side on larger screens.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, iPhone authentication, or deployment-ID changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v28.2iPhone Anonymous Auth Compatibility
  • Restored iPhone-to-Firestore writes for the current mobile app using Firebase Anonymous Authentication.
  • Preserved the existing transitional unauthenticated mobile write path for compatibility.
  • Asset deletes remain Admin-only, and protected reads still require an authenticated Firebase session.
  • No Cloud Functions, asset schema, deployment logic, or user-interface behavior changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v28.1Responsive Management Toolbar
  • Fixed management controls overflowing past the right edge at common laptop/browser widths.
  • Management buttons now move to a clean full-width row when the toolbar cannot safely fit three columns.
  • Preserved the existing mobile arrangement and all v28 deployment, audit, compatibility, and data logic.
  • No Firestore Rules, Cloud Functions, schema, or deployment-logic changes.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v28Codebase Refactor & Stabilization
  • Refactored deployment, validation, Firestore write, payload, and audit logic into focused internal modules without intentionally changing the operator interface.

  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v27.5Phone Formatting + Audit Header Fix
  • Phone Number fields now format automatically as (###) ###-####.
  • Phone Number remains optional, but any entered number must contain exactly 10 digits.

v27.4Individual Asset Editing
  • Restored an Edit button on individual asset cards while keeping Sign Out and Sign In.
  • Edit changes asset information without changing the current Available or Deployed status.

  • Existing selections remain checked when filtered out and return when the search is cleared.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v27.2Unit Deployment Equipment Search
  • Added separate search boxes for Radios, Phones, MDTs, and EPCRs in Unit Deployment.
  • Each equipment list filters independently as you type.

  • Available and selected counts remain based on the full live inventory, not only visible search results.
  • Preserved the complete changelog from all prior releases.
v27.1Unit Deployment Window Fit
  • Fixed the Unit Deployment window so it stays completely inside the browser viewport.
  • Made the dialog use the available screen width instead of overflowing from the narrower default dialog size.
