"""ConnectWise ScreenConnect (Control) API client for the screenconnect skill.
Talks to the ACG ScreenConnect instance via the RESTful API Manager extension.
Standalone (no third-party hard dependency): prefers httpx, falls back to stdlib
urllib.
Auth (VERIFIED 2026-06-02 by Howard, re-verified 2026-06-21): HTTP header
CTRLAuthHeader: <raw api_secret> (NO "Basic" prefix; Basic auth 401s)
Origin: https://computerguru.screenconnect.com
Endpoints live under the RESTful API Manager extension:
POST <base>/App_Extensions/<guid>/Service.ashx/<MethodName> body = JSON
GET is used for read-only methods, POST for state-changing ones; Content-Type is
application/json and the body is the method's parameters (object or array).
Credentials: never hardcoded. api_secret loaded at runtime from the SOPS vault,
or the SCREENCONNECT_API_SECRET env var (testing override).
INSTANCE METHOD SURFACE (probed live 2026-06-22, extended 2026-07-06): control IS
available - GetSessionsByFilter, GetSessionsByName, GetSessionDetailsBySessionID,
GetSessionBySessionID (reads, JSON-object params); SendCommandToSession,
SendMessageToSession, UpdateSessionCustomProperties, CreateSession (writes,
POSITIONAL-ARRAY params).
FULL-FLEET LISTING (fixed 2026-07-06): GetSessionsByFilter({"sessionFilter": <expr>})
IS exposed and is the enumeration path. It takes a ScreenConnect session-filter
expression, e.g. SessionType = 'Access' (all 958 unattended agents), CustomProperty1
= 'Safesite' (per-client), Name LIKE '*DELL*' (partial name). SessionType 'Access'
(=2) is the agent fleet; 'Support' (=0) the on-demand sessions. The bare aliases
GetSessions/GetAllSessions/GetSessionGroups remain absent, but GetSessionsByFilter
covers the inventory use case fully - no extension update needed. `raw()` probes
arbitrary methods.
