## Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Worked on the `synology` skill end-to-end, taking it from `[PLUMBED]` (coded to spec,
|
||||
never run against the device) to fully live-verified against the Cascades NAS
|
||||
(cascadesDS, DS718+, 192.168.0.120) with the site VPN up. The session began with a
|
||||
single `test` call to confirm the Web API client could authenticate and discover the
|
||||
device, then expanded to exercising the complete command surface and proving the write
|
||||
path.
|
||||
|
||||
First exercised the full read surface via both backends. All Web API read commands
|
||||
(`test`, `apis`, `sysinfo`, `util`, `storage`, `shares`, `users`, `groups`, `packages`,
|
||||
`services`, `connections`, `ls` share-roots, `call`) and the SSH backend (`info`, `df`,
|
||||
`run` including privileged `sudo`/`synowebapi`) were confirmed working. This surfaced
|
||||
four bugs that were fixed in place.
|
||||
|
||||
After confirming reads, the focus moved to the write/setter path — the last unverified
|
||||
capability and the one the user explicitly wanted proven ("full control so you can make
|
||||
the needed changes when needed"). A safe, self-reverting round-trip was chosen: create a
|
||||
hidden throwaway shared folder, verify it appears, delete it, verify it is gone. Both
|
||||
mutating calls passed CSRF (synotoken) end-to-end and the device was left pristine,
|
||||
proving the write path works for create and delete (directly relevant to the user's
|
||||
migration goal which centers on shares/permissions/users).
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation was updated throughout: SKILL.md status moved from PLUMBED to VERIFIED with
|
||||
per-command results and the write-path confirmation; the Cascades wiki gained the NAS
|
||||
device specs (resolving the model/RAM/DSM TODO in the network-logging plan). Work was
|
||||
committed in four commits as it progressed.
|
||||
|
||||
The user clarified the larger migration (Drive<->CS-SERVER 2-way sync, migrate domain
|
||||
users to CS-SERVER shares, retire the Synology sync) is NOT being executed now — this
|
||||
session was solely about verifying the skill has the capability to do that work when
|
||||
called upon. That capability is now confirmed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- Placed the session log under `clients/cascades-tucson/` (not general skill logs) because
|
||||
all verification ran against cascadesDS and the work serves the Cascades migration.
|
||||
- Chose a **share create+delete** round-trip to prove the write path rather than re-setting
|
||||
an existing setting: creating a new throwaway share cannot harm production config, whereas
|
||||
read-modify-write on an existing share risks dropping a field. Also the most relevant
|
||||
capability to the user's stated shares/permissions migration goal.
|
||||
- Used the on-box `synowebapi --exec` (via SSH, golden rule #5) as the authority to diagnose
|
||||
the FileStation `list` failure rather than guessing param encodings from the Web API.
|
||||
- Did NOT execute the actual migration — user confirmed this was a capability test only.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problems Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
- **`services` returned error 103** (`SYNO.Core.Service.list` method does not exist on DSM
|
||||
7.2.1). Probed methods; correct method is `get` (returns `{"service":[...]}`). Fixed.
|
||||
- **`apis | head` raised a `BrokenPipeError` traceback.** Added top-level BrokenPipeError
|
||||
handler that closes stdout and exits cleanly.
|
||||
- **`ls <folder>` (FileStation `list`) returns 400 via Web API / 407 on-box.** Confirmed
|
||||
on-box as SYSTEM_ADMIN that the built-in admin account lacks FileStation file privileges —
|
||||
a device permission state, not a skill bug. `list_share` (share roots) works. Made `ls`
|
||||
catch the 400/407 and print an SSH file-browse hint; real file browsing goes through the
|
||||
SSH backend (`run "ls -la /volume1/<share>/<subpath>"`).
|
||||
- **`--confirm`/`--vault` after the subcommand were rejected by argparse** — meaning every
|
||||
documented gated-write example (`call X set k=v --confirm`, `pkg-start <id> --confirm`)
|
||||
would have failed. Moved both flags to a shared parent parser with SUPPRESS defaults so
|
||||
they work before AND after the subcommand. This was the most impactful fix — without it no
|
||||
write command worked as documented.
|
||||
- **MSYS path-mangling** rewrote a bare `ls /Public` argument to `/Public` ->
|
||||
`C:/Program Files/Git/Public` before Python saw it (Windows friction). Logged to errorlog
|
||||
(--friction, ref feedback_tmp_path_windows). The `call ... folder_path=/x` form is not
|
||||
mangled; FileStation 407 denial blocks the path regardless.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Changes
|
||||
|
||||
Modified:
|
||||
- `.claude/skills/synology/scripts/syno_client.py` — services method `list`->`get`;
|
||||
BrokenPipeError handler; `ls <folder>` 400/407 graceful SSH hint; argparse refactor
|
||||
(shared parent parser for `--confirm`/`--vault`, works in either position).
|
||||
- `.claude/skills/synology/SKILL.md` — status PLUMBED -> VERIFIED; per-command results;
|
||||
SSH backend results; FileStation `ls` limitation; write-path VERIFIED with share-create
|
||||
signature; list of live fixes.
|
||||
- `wiki/clients/cascades-tucson.md` — added NAS device-specs line to the Synology section;
|
||||
resolved the "Confirm Synology model/RAM/DSM before build" TODO in the network-logging plan.
|
||||
- `errorlog.md` — auto-appended API 103 entries during method probing + one --friction entry
|
||||
for the MSYS `ls` path-mangling.
|
||||
|
||||
No changes left to the device: the test share `synowritetest_del` was created and deleted;
|
||||
cascadesDS config is unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
## Credentials & Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
No new credentials discovered or created. Used the existing vaulted admin credential at
|
||||
`clients/cascades-tucson/synology-cascadesds.sops.yaml` (fields host / port /
|
||||
credentials.username / credentials.password) for both Web API and SSH auth. Not displayed.

## Pending / Incomplete Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- **Migration (NOT started — capability test only this session).** End goal per Howard:
|
||||
1) map Synology Drive to CS-SERVER for 2-way sync, 2) migrate domain users onto CS-SERVER
|
||||
shares, 3) end the Synology sync so all users are on CS-SERVER. All required capabilities
|
||||
(share create/modify, share permissions, users/groups, package/service control) are now
|
||||
verified reachable + writable via the skill. Awaiting explicit go.
|
||||
- **Session-expiry re-login (106/119)** not forced live (would need an expired SID); auth/
|
||||
CSRF/setter plumbing otherwise proven.
|
||||
- **Log Center package** not yet confirmed installed on cascadesDS — check `apis logcenter`
|
||||
before the network-logging-plan build.
|
||||
- Optional: consider granting the admin account FileStation file privileges if Web API file
|
||||
browsing is ever wanted (currently SSH-only).
