feat: Complete DOS update system with test data routing fix

Browse Source 
Implemented comprehensive DOS 6.22 update system for ~30 test stations with
critical fix for test data database import routing.

## Major Changes

### DOS Batch Files (7 files)
- NWTOC.BAT: Download updates from network to DOS machines
- CTONW.BAT v1.2: Upload with separate ProdSW/LOGS routing (CRITICAL FIX)
- UPDATE.BAT: Full system backup to network
- STAGE.BAT: System file staging for safe updates
- REBOOT.BAT: Apply staged updates on reboot
- CHECKUPD.BAT: Check for available updates
- DEPLOY.BAT: One-time deployment installer for DOS machines

### CTONW v1.2 Critical Fix
Fixed test data routing to match AD2 sync script expectations:
- Software distribution: C:\ATE\*.EXE -> T:\TS-4R\ProdSW\ (bidirectional)
- Test data logging: C:\ATE\8BDATA\*.DAT -> T:\TS-4R\LOGS\8BLOG\ (upload only)
- Subdirectory mapping: 8BDATA->8BLOG, DSCDATA->DSCLOG, HVDATA->HVLOG, etc.
- Test data now correctly imported to AD2 database via Sync-FromNAS.ps1

### Deployment Infrastructure
- copy-to-ad2.ps1: Automated deployment to AD2 server
- DOS_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md: Complete deployment documentation
- DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md: Technical workflow documentation
- credentials.md: Centralized credentials (AD2, NAS, Gitea)

### Analysis & Documentation (15 files)
- CTONW_ANALYSIS.md: Comprehensive compliance analysis
- CTONW_V1.2_CHANGELOG.md: Detailed v1.2 changes
- NWTOC_ANALYSIS.md: Download workflow analysis
- DOS_BATCH_ANALYSIS.md: DOS 6.22 compatibility guide
- UPDATE_WORKFLOW.md: Backup system workflow
- BEHAVIORAL_RULES_INTEGRATION_SUMMARY.md: C: drive integration

### Session Logs
- session-logs/2026-01-19-session.md: Complete session documentation

### Conversation Reorganization
- Cleaned up 156 imported conversation files
- Organized into sessions-by-date structure
- Created metadata index and large files guide

## Technical Details

### AD2 → NAS → DOS Sync Flow
1. Admin copies files to AD2: \192.168.0.6\C$\Shares\test\
2. Sync-FromNAS.ps1 runs every 15 minutes (AD2 → NAS)
3. DOS machines access via T: drive (\D2TESTNAS\test)
4. NWTOC downloads updates, CTONW uploads test data
5. Sync imports test data to AD2 database

### DOS 6.22 Compatibility
- No %COMPUTERNAME%, uses %MACHINE% variable
- No IF /I, uses multiple case-specific checks
- Proper ERRORLEVEL checking (highest values first)
- XCOPY /S for subdirectory support
- ASCII markers ([OK], [ERROR], [WARNING]) instead of emojis

### File Locations
- AD2: C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\ (deployed)
- NAS: T:\COMMON\ProdSW\ (synced)
- DOS: C:\BAT\ (installed)
- Logs: T:\TS-4R\LOGS\8BLOG\ (test data for database import)

## Deployment Status

✅ All 7 batch files deployed to AD2 (both COMMON and _COMMON)
⏳ Pending sync to NAS (within 15 minutes)
⏳ Pending pilot deployment on TS-4R
📋 Ready for rollout to ~30 DOS machines

## Breaking Changes

CTONW v1.1 → v1.2: Test data now uploads to LOGS folder instead of ProdSW.
Existing machines must download v1.2 via NWTOC for proper database import.

# Session Log: 2026-01-19
**Project:** ClaudeTools - Dataforth DOS Update System
**Date:** 2026-01-19
**Duration:** ~3 hours
**Status:** Major milestone - DOS batch files deployed to production
---
## Session Summary
### What Was Accomplished
1. **Completed C: Drive Behavioral Rules Integration**
- Created `/save`, `/context`, `/sync` commands in `.claude/commands/`
- Created comprehensive `credentials.md` with all infrastructure details
- Updated `.claude/claude.md` with context recovery system
- Established session-logs/ directory structure
2. **Located AD2 Sync Mechanism** (Outstanding Issue Resolved)
- Found sync script: `C:\Shares\test\scripts\Sync-FromNAS.ps1`
- Verified running every 15 minutes via scheduled task
- Last verified: 2026-01-19 12:09 PM
- Updated DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md with correct AD2 sync information
- Updated credentials.md with sync system details
3. **Deployed DOS Batch Files to Production**
- Successfully copied 6 batch files to AD2
- Deployed to both `COMMON\ProdSW\` and `_COMMON\ProdSW\`
- Files will auto-sync to NAS within 15 minutes
- Created reusable deployment scripts (copy-to-ad2.ps1, verify-ad2-files.ps1)
4. **Fixed Critical Issues in CTONW.BAT**
- Analyzed CTONW.BAT and found 3 issues
- Fixed missing subdirectory support (XCOPY /S)
- Added COMMON upload confirmation prompt (safety feature)
- Updated from v1.0 to v1.1
- Re-deployed fixed version to AD2
5. **Complete Documentation Created**
- BEHAVIORAL_RULES_INTEGRATION_SUMMARY.md
- DOS_DEPLOYMENT_STATUS.md
- CTONW_ANALYSIS.md
- Updated credentials.md with AD2 connection method
### Key Decisions Made
1. **AD2 Connection Method**
- Decision: Use PowerShell with C$ admin share (\\192.168.0.6\C$)
- Rationale: Direct access via C$ share works, regular test share has access issues
- Credential method documented in credentials.md
2. **Deploy to Both COMMON and _COMMON**
- Decision: Copy batch files to both locations
- Rationale: Sync script checks both paths, ensures coverage
- Locations: C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\ and C:\Shares\test\_COMMON\ProdSW\
3. **CTONW.BAT Subdirectory Fix**
- Decision: Replace FOR loops with single XCOPY /S command
- Rationale: Sync log shows files in subdirectories (8BDATA, DSCDATA, etc.)
- Original code only copied root level files, missing critical test data
4. **Add COMMON Upload Confirmation**
- Decision: Require Y/N confirmation before CTONW COMMON
- Rationale: Uploading to COMMON affects all ~30 machines, safety risk
- Uses DOS 6.22 CHOICE command for user confirmation
### Problems Encountered and Solutions
**Problem 1: SSH Key Authentication for Gitea**
- Issue: SSH test to git@172.16.3.20:2222 returned "Permission denied (publickey)"
- Solution: Documented in credentials.md, left for user to configure
- Status: Not blocking, can use HTTPS temporarily
**Problem 2: AD2 Share Access from Git Bash**
- Issue: Credential escaping issues in Git Bash environment
- Attempts: smbclient (not found), net use (network name not found), direct UNC access (failed)
- Solution: Created PowerShell scripts with proper credential handling
- Working method: New-PSDrive with PSCredential object
- Documented in credentials.md for future use
**Problem 3: Missing Sync Mechanism Location**
- Issue: User said sync moved from NAS to AD2, couldn't find location
- Investigation: Searched 192.168.0.6 filesystem via C$ share
- Solution: Found Sync-FromNAS.ps1 in C:\Shares\test\scripts\
- Verified: Running every 15 minutes, last run 12:09 PM
- Updated: DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md and credentials.md with correct info
**Problem 4: CTONW.BAT Subdirectory Support**
- Issue: Analysis revealed CTONW only copies root files, not subdirectories
- Evidence: Sync log shows TS-1R/ProdSW/8BDATA/8B49.DAT structure
- Solution: Replaced FOR loops (lines 165, 170) with XCOPY /S command
- Impact: Users can now upload test data in subdirectories

## Technical Details Worth Remembering
### DOS 6.22 Limitations
**Never use these in DOS 6.22 batch files:**
- `%COMPUTERNAME%` - doesn't exist (use `%MACHINE%` instead)
- `IF /I` - case-insensitive flag doesn't exist
- `%ERRORLEVEL%` - variable doesn't exist (use `IF ERRORLEVEL n`)
- `FOR /F` - loops don't exist in DOS 6.22
- `&&` and `||` - operators don't exist
- Long filenames - must use 8.3 format
**Always use:**
- `IF ERRORLEVEL n` - checks if errorlevel >= n
- Check highest errorlevel first (5, 4, 2, 1)
- `T: 2>NUL` - redirect stderr to test drive
- `IF EXIST path\NUL` - test if directory exists
- Simple `FOR %%F IN (...)` loops
- `GOTO` labels for flow control
### XCOPY Error Levels
**Common XCOPY error codes:**
- 0 = Success
- 1 = No files found
- 2 = User pressed Ctrl+C
- 4 = Initialization error (memory, disk space, invalid path)
- 5 = Disk write error
**Proper checking order (highest first):**
```batch
XCOPY source dest /Y /Q
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO ERROR_INIT
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO ERROR_USER
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NO_FILES
ECHO Success
```
### AD2 PowerShell Connection Pattern
**Template for future scripts:**
```powershell
$Username = "INTRANET\sysadmin"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "Paper123!@#" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($Username, $Password)
New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\192.168.0.6\C$" -Credential $Cred
# Work with Z:\Shares\test\...
Remove-PSDrive Z
```
**Why this works:**
- C$ admin share requires credentials
- Git Bash has issues with credential escaping
- PowerShell PSCredential handles authentication properly
- PSDrive creates temporary mapped drive
### Sync Workflow Details
**AD2 → NAS (Software Updates):**
1. Admin places files in `C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\` (AD2)
2. Sync-FromNAS.ps1 runs every 15 minutes
3. PSCP copies files to NAS: `/data/test/COMMON/ProdSW/`
4. DOS machines run NWTOC to download from `T:\COMMON\ProdSW\`
**NAS → AD2 (Test Results):**
1. DOS machines write test data to `T:\TS-XX\LOGS\` (NAS)
2. Sync-FromNAS.ps1 runs every 15 minutes
3. PSCP copies files from NAS to AD2: `C:\Shares\test\TS-XX\LOGS\`
4. Files deleted from NAS after successful copy
5. DAT files auto-imported to database
### File Locations Map
```
Admin deposits on AD2:
C:\Shares\test\COMMON\ProdSW\*.BAT
↓ (Sync-FromNAS.ps1 every 15 min)
NAS receives sync:
/data/test/COMMON/ProdSW\*.BAT
↓ (SMB1 share)
DOS machines access:
T:\COMMON\ProdSW\*.BAT
↓ (NWTOC command)
DOS local files:
C:\BAT\*.BAT
```
