Summary

Bottom of the stack — based directly on develop.

Recreated from #87, which GitHub closed automatically when the previous base branch fix/object-scoped-lookups was deleted after it merged. Same head commit, same content; only the base moved to develop.

Parent / LAG / child interface relationships. Resolves LAG aggregate↔member and sub-interface parent↔child pairs from LibreNMS port_stack (with a per-OS PortStackLagPattern fallback for name-based aggregates like Po1), renders a combined Parent/LAG column with a verify control, and bulk-syncs the relationships onto NetBox interfaces. Adds the PortStackLagPattern model + migration.

Motivation / Problem

Feature. Reflect LibreNMS LAG/sub-interface topology on the NetBox side.

Scope of Change

  • Sync/Import logic
  • NetBox models / ORM
  • Database migrations
  • Web UI / templates
  • Tests

How Was This Tested?

  • Unit tests: yes — relationship resolution (either-side aggregate, Junos .N sub-units, Nokia SAP skip), row-owner pinning, verify rollback; real Device/Interface rows.
  • Manual testing: yes — Interfaces tab Parent/LAG column + bulk sync.

Risk Assessment

Writes lag/parent FKs only for user-selected rows; links validated with full_clean before save.

Backwards Compatibility

  • No breaking changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • Added Parent / LAG status indicators, relationship controls, and automatic member/parent selection.
    • Added relationship synchronization for devices and virtual machines.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved port identification, ambiguity handling, permissions, migrated-device behavior, VLAN scoping, and concurrency safety.
    • Added warnings when relationship data cannot be retrieved from LibreNMS.

…de CSRF/transfer gating

- collisions.detect_bulk_collisions: skip non-dict rows / non-dict validation
  instead of crashing the whole bulk-confirm flow on .get().
- device_status actions render: type-check existing_librenms_link before reading
  pairing keys so a malformed payload can't break the table render.
- _vlan_sync_content.html: render CSRF + server_key in migrated mode too (the VLAN
  verify JS reads csrfmiddlewaretoken and posts server_key); only the form-submit
  action input stays gated.
- librenms_sync_base.html: gate the donor transfer-IP buttons to Device pages
  (object|meta model_name == device) so a VM can't drive device_transfer_ip on a
  same-pk Device.
- tests: red->green coverage for each; add non-dict main-ports row case; pin
  OOB-only fixture librenms_id=None; drop brittle '?tab=' >=5 sanity threshold.
- Add PortStackLagPattern model for vendor LAG name patterns with
  CRUD UI (list, create, edit, delete, import, changelog, YAML export)
- Populate PortStackLagPattern with known vendor patterns
- Merge LAG column into Parent/LAG column showing relationship inline
- Auto-select parent interface when sub-interface is checked
- Detect sub-interfaces via port_stack signal (not just LAGs)
- Fix LAG member auto-select for Nokia TiMOS and paginated tables
- Show relationship name inline in Parent/LAG badges
- Split interface name into separate badge with better contrast
- Remove librenms_id column (not needed outside debugging)
- Fix stale and broken tests (TestRenderLibreNMSId, VC mock, POST mock)
…g-aware cross-page parent cleanup, device-only LAG sync)
…arent FKs

Wire the lag/parent select_related into _build_interface_lookup_maps (drops a
dead _extra_related var / F841 and avoids N+1 on nb_iface.lag/.parent), recompute
the relationship for the selected member in the single-interface verify path, and
patch the parent cell client-side so it no longer shows the prior device's status.
… paginate

- SyncInterfaceParentView: set POST permission by object_type — VMInterface has a
  parent field, so VM parent sync needs (change, VMInterface), not (change, Interface).
- get_context_data: scope by_port_id to host rows (_source != oob) so an OOB
  controller reusing a host port_id can't attach the wrong aggregate/parent.
- get_table_paginate_count: clamp non-positive per_page to the NetBox default.
resolve_port_relationships compiled and applied every stored PortStackLagPattern
regardless of platform, so a vendor-specific regex could misclassify an interface
on another device's OS as a LAG aggregate. Add a device_os argument that scopes
the DB pattern lookup to that OS (filter on librenms_os); the interfaces view
resolves the OS via get_device_info (best-effort) and passes it. device_os=None
preserves the prior unscoped behaviour.
…e peek

- librenms_sync.js: check response.ok on the LAG/parent sync fetch so backend
  error text surfaces instead of a generic JSON parse failure.
- get_port_stack: normalize a null 'mappings' body to [] so resolve_port_
  relationships never iterates a None port_stack.
- _render_relationship_column: for missing_nb rows on a VC page, resolve the row's
  member device (get_virtual_chassis_member) so inline parent/LAG sync targets the
  right device, not the viewed member.
- SingleInterfaceVerifyView: host-scope by_port_id (_source != oob) to match
  get_context_data so OOB rows can't skew the verify-time enrichment.
- _attach_messages_oob: restore storage.used after the peek so messages aren't
  consumed before the renderer emits them; test storage mirrors that semantics.
…ad + JS cleanup

- resolve_port_relationships: skip non-dict ports entries so a malformed LibreNMS
  payload item can't crash relationship resolution.
- get_context_data: don't enrich OOB rows with the host device's port_stack
  relationships (they'd inherit the host's LAG/parent on a port_id collision).
- librenms_sync.js: gate only the auto-select behaviour on the toggle so the
  cross-page parent cleanup still runs on deselect when the toggle is off.
- lag/parent sync (bulk + both views): reject pairs whose interfaces aren't on the
  same device/VM (_interfaces_same_owner) — a VC-wide port_id resolve could
  otherwise persist a NetBox-forbidden cross-member lag/parent; views return 409.
Display names ('select') can collide in ifDescr mode, where the visible
interface name is not a unique identifier. Carry a stable LibreNMS port_id
('select_port_id') for cross-page parents auto-included by the JS, and key
the relationship sync on port_id so distinct ports sharing a display name are
no longer collapsed onto one.
…display name

The single-interface verify path keyed the NetBox interface lookup on the
display name (ifName/ifDescr). That name is a render-time preference with no
canonical value, so a lookup breaks whenever the current naming mode differs
from the one the interface was synced under. Resolve by the stored LibreNMS
port_id and fall back to the name only for interfaces without a librenms_id.
…ixin

The annotation was never read or enforced — _resolve_interface_by_port_id
takes server_key as a parameter — so it was dead noise on the mixin.
…e-id match, select-all

- get_port_stack(): catch ValueError from response.json() and return the usual
  (False, error) tuple instead of letting a non-JSON body escape.
- interfaces_view: when _has_lag_signals() says the device has relationships but
  the port_stack fetch fails, warn the user that the Parent/LAG column may be
  incomplete (mirrors the OOB-incomplete handling) instead of dropping it silently.
- _related_iface_matches: always attempt the stable librenms_id comparison
  (default server_key to 'default') so the default-server path never silently
  falls back to fragile name matching when a stable id is stored.
- select-all: dispatch a bubbling change event per row so the cross-page parent /
  LAG-member auto-select logic runs for select-all, not just individual clicks.
Shift-click range selection set cb.checked directly, bypassing the change
handler that auto-includes cross-page parent / LAG-member interfaces — the same
gap just closed for select-all. Dispatch a bubbling change per ranged checkbox
so range selection injects cross-page parents like single clicks do.
…, harden auto-select

- SingleInterfaceVerifyView now enforces dcim.view_device (like SingleModuleVerifyView)
  so a user can't probe arbitrary device IDs for cached interface data.
- Pick the cached verify row by the posted stable port_id (host rows only) before the
  display-name fallback, so colliding host/OOB names can't patch the wrong row.
- Normalize all port_ids to int in lag/parent enrichment: a cache round-trip can stringify
  relationship-map keys while port_id values stay int, silently dropping LAG/parent context.
- get_cached_ports_data / _get_cached_relationships resolve the same VC-scoped sync device
  the writer uses, fixing false cache misses on VC member pages that have their own id.
- Run the delegated change flow for auto-selected LAG members, same-page parents, and
  shift-range selection so second-order selection (nested parents, member-as-child) applies.
- Hide bulk 'Delete Selected Interfaces' in migrated mode (a winner exists).
- Clarify resolve_port_relationships docstring re: aggregate detection by ifType/name.
… before lookup

- _interface_sync_content.html: convert the multiline {# #} (which test_template_comments
  flags — Django renders it as literal text) to {% comment %}, and gate the bulk-delete
  button on migrated_to_marker (not migrated_to_winner) so a donor marked migrated never
  falls back to destructive delete when the winner can't be resolved.
- handleInterfaceChange: resolve the row from select.closest('tr') (unique) instead of
  data-interface, which collides when a name appears in both the host and OOB datasets —
  a name lookup could post the wrong row's port_id and repaint the wrong row.
- SingleInterfaceVerifyView: bind self.request and run the dcim.view_device gate before
  get_object_or_404, so a user without permission can't probe device IDs via 404-vs-200.
…g as empty

A null/missing mappings genuinely means 'no parent/LAG relationships' -> []. But a non-list
payload (or a list with non-dict items) is a malformed LibreNMS response; returning (True, [])
made it indistinguishable from 'no relationships' and silently skipped valid sync updates.
Fail the call (logged) so the caller surfaces it via the port_stack-failure warning.
…not self.device

CodeRabbit batch (pci-domain):

- librenms_api.get_port_stack: a non-object top-level payload (list/string/null) is
  malformed, not 'no relationships'. Fail it instead of collapsing to (True, []),
  which would silently skip valid LAG/parent sync updates.
- tables/interfaces: derive the relationship-sync button's object_type from the table
  subclass (sync_object_type) instead of a self.device.cluster probe that misclassifies
  a cluster-less VM as a device and POSTs to the wrong endpoint.
- librenms_sync.js: the relationship-sync button now honors the row's live VC
  member-select value over the server-rendered data-object-id, so switching members
  targets the chosen member instead of the name-based default.

Tests added for the non-object payload and the device/VM object_type derivation.
…bort stale verify

CodeRabbit batch (PR 87, pci-domain):

- interfaces sync: the LAG/parent name_hint fallback used hardcoded ifName. In ifDescr
  mode the NetBox interface name matches ifDescr, so the wrong-name lookup silently
  skipped the link. Use the active interface_name_field, falling back to ifName.
- interfaces sync: the skip summary claimed every skipped interface was 'mapped to a
  different interface', but the list also includes ambiguous-port_id skips — make the
  reason generic.
- librenms_sync.js: handleInterfaceChange now uses an AbortController (like
  handleModuleChange) so a stale /verify-interface/ response from a rapid VC-member
  change can't repaint the row after a newer selection.
…ship buttons during verify

- interfaces_view: an OOB-controller port matching the LAG ifType/name heuristic could
  trigger get_port_stack(host_id) and the 'Parent/LAG may be incomplete' warning even when
  the main device has no such relationships. get_port_stack is host-scoped, so filter
  _source=="oob" rows out before _has_lag_signals() and resolve_port_relationships().
- librenms_sync.js: changing a VC member fires an async row verify; a LAG/parent sync click
  landing before it repaints would POST the new member's objectId with the previous member's
  stale relationship metadata. Disable the row's relationship sync buttons while the verify is
  in flight, re-enabling on settle (skipped on AbortError — the superseding verify owns state).
- Test that OOB rows are excluded from the port_stack LAG-inference trigger.
…tton re-enable

CodeRabbit batch (pci-domain):

- librenms_api.get_port_stack: an error payload like {"status": "error", "message": ...}
  omits 'mappings' just like a genuine "no relationships" answer, so it returned (True, []) and
  masked the failure — skipping valid LAG/parent sync updates. Honor an explicit non-ok status
  when mappings is absent; a real empty result (no status / "ok") still returns (True, []).
- sync/interfaces SyncInterfaceLagView / SyncInterfaceParentView: both are fetch() JSON
  endpoints but gated with require_all_permissions, which returns the mixin's HTML/redirect on
  denial and breaks the caller's JSON error path. Switch to require_all_permissions_json, like
  the sibling DeleteNetBoxInterfacesView.
- librenms_sync.js: the verify-in-flight relationship-button lock could leave buttons stuck
  disabled. On rapid VC-member changes the second handler captured an empty set (buttons already
  disabled) and the first was aborted without re-enabling; a non-repainting settle then restored
  nothing. Tag the buttons this flow disables with data-verify-locked and re-enable by
  re-querying that marker on the live row, so whichever request settles last restores them — and
  a button the sync-click handler disabled mid-POST (no marker) is never wrongly re-enabled.

Tests: port_stack error-status failure; verify-gate test patches the _json method.
- normalize the stored related-interface id before comparing to the LibreNMS
  port_id so a renamed LAG/parent still matches on the stable id
- prefer the row-selected object for missing_nb relationship sync instead of
  the name-based VC heuristic, so the button targets the right device
…nship maps once

- _interface_sync.html: forward the active server_key in the HTMX refresh hx-vals
  for both device and VM buttons so a multi-server refresh rebuilds the content
  from the correct LibreNMS namespace instead of the default.
- interfaces_view: normalize port_id_to_lag/parent keys once at the cached-data
  build site instead of re-normalizing per non-OOB port inside
  _enrich_port_with_lag_parent.
Setting Interface.lag/parent and calling .save() directly bypassed model validation:
_interfaces_same_owner only checks the device, so stale port_stack data or a crafted
POST with port_id == lag/parent_port_id could persist a self-link (member == aggregate)
that Interface.clean() forbids. Run full_clean() before each save at all four sites —
the JSON endpoints return 409 with detail, the bulk loop logs and skips — mirroring the
full_clean()+409 pattern already used by the migrate move endpoints.
…esponses

CodeQL py/stack-trace-exposure flagged SyncInterfaceLagView and
SyncInterfaceParentView for returning full_clean() ValidationError detail
straight to the JSON client. Mirror the repo's established remediation: log the
flattened detail server-side and return a fixed, safe message (the cross-device
case is already rejected upstream, so this is the self-link/constraint case).
The bulk-sync sites already only log the detail, so they were never flagged.
…uity, verify normalization)

Three review findings in the LAG/parent relationship paths:

- resolve_port_relationships: only feed ports with a usable port_id AND a
  non-empty string ifName into the lookup maps. A non-string ifName (malformed
  payload) would otherwise reach regex/':'/suffix string ops and raise at runtime.
- _resolve_interface_by_port_id: collect all stored-id matches and fail on
  ambiguity instead of binding lag/parent to the first of several interfaces
  carrying the same stale librenms_id, mirroring _resolve_device_interface().
- SingleInterfaceVerifyView: normalize the cached relationship-map keys before
  enrichment (as the main table path does), so stringified port_id keys don't
  drop Parent/LAG context from the inline verify response.
… except, expose VM Parent/LAG

- interfaces table: suppress the per-row LAG/parent sync button on migrated donor
  pages (the buttons POST directly, so the hidden bulk form alone is not enough);
  stamp migrated_to_marker from the main render and verify paths.
- _resolve_interface_by_port_id: narrow the name-hint fallback's bare except to
  Interface/VMInterface DoesNotExist (swallow) and MultipleObjectsReturned (return
  ambiguity error); real runtime/DB faults now propagate instead of masking as
  not-found.
- VM interface table: add the Parent/LAG column to Meta.sequence so VMInterface
  sub-interface relationship sync is reachable from the UI.
- ip sync: regression test proving an already-bound IP is not unbound when no
  interface resolves (skip happens before the update branch).
…ale verify buttons

- _interface_sync_content: in migrated-donor mode hide the bulk-select controls
  (select-all header + per-row checkboxes — dead now that bulk delete is hidden)
  and switch the modal copy to transfer-only 'Move' wording instead of delete.
- librenms_sync.js: on a genuine (non-abort) verify failure, keep the LAG/parent
  sync buttons disabled. The row was not repainted for the newly-selected VC member,
  so re-enabling would let a retry combine the new member with the previous member's
  stale lag/parent port_id and sync the wrong relationship.
- resolve_port_relationships: key by_id on str(port_id) and look up
  str(high/low_port_id) so a str-vs-int discrepancy between the independent
  ports and port_stack payloads no longer silently drops valid relationships.
- librenms_sync.js: move reenableRelationshipButtons() into the success branch so
  a 2xx response with status != 'success' (which does not repaint the row) leaves
  the verify-locked LAG/parent buttons disabled, matching the .catch() rationale —
  otherwise a retry could post the previous member's stale relationship metadata.
- Test for str/int port_id normalization (both directions).
…rify dropdown on failure

- librenms_api.get_port_stack(): check an explicit non-ok status before consuming
  'mappings', so an error payload that still carries mappings (e.g.
  {status: error, mappings: []}) fails instead of being read as 'no relationships'
  and silently skipping valid LAG/sub-interface sync.
- librenms_sync.js: track the last server-confirmed VC member per <select>; on a
  failed verify (non-success payload or non-abort error) roll the dropdown back to
  it and re-enable the relationship controls, so the user isn't stranded on an
  unverified selection with locked buttons. Seeds from the rendered <option selected>.
- Test for the error-status-with-mappings case (no JS unit harness in the repo).
_lock_selected_device_targets and _lock_relationship_scope re-locked the object's
own virtual chassis with a raw manager filter, which the raw-pk scan reported.
The id comes from obj, which the request already resolved through a scoped
queryset, so route both through relock_scoped_row: that states the provenance
rather than relying on how the expression is written.

Dropping of=("self",) changes no lock: neither queryset joins, so the row locked
is the same one.
…l contracts

Three suites still described how the code used to behave.

SingleInterfaceVerifyView resolves the row by the stable LibreNMS port_id and
fails closed when the caller posts none, so two tests that posted only a name got
a 404. Post the port_id the view asks for, and give the shared port fixture one.

test_mixed_structural_and_name_signals_warn_when_os_is_unknown created the "ios"
PortStackLagPattern that migration 0013 already seeds, so it hit the case
insensitive uniqueness constraint. Take the seeded row instead.

test_verify_response_does_not_expose_inaccessible_vc_members asserted that
str(hidden_device.pk) was absent from the whole response body. That matches any
rendered number, so the assertion tracked pk allocation rather than a leak: it
failed when the hidden device happened to get pk 1500 and the snapshot rendered
ifMtu 1500. Assert the pk cannot appear as a device reference instead. The test
passed on the branches above only because pks landed differently there.
Two test-infrastructure gaps left this branch red at its own tip while every
test passed in isolation.

Redis is not rolled back between tests and primary keys are reused, so a value
cached under one pk was read by the next test that drew the same pk. Every test
now runs in a unique key prefix on a sibling Redis database, which also keeps
the dev server's DEBUG-time cache.clear() out of the run.

A test marked django_db(transaction=True) truncates every table, including the
rows migration 0013 seeds. pytest-django sorts every ordinary database test
ahead of every transactional one, so no test observes that flush inside the same
run. The damage is carried ACROSS runs: the flush lands in the session teardown
and leaves a reused database empty, so the next run starts with LAG pattern
detection already disabled. _reseed_after_transactional_flush restores the rows
after the database fixture finalizes, and _restore_migration_seeded_rows covers
a run that begins against an already-empty reused database by seeding inside
each test's own transaction, which is rolled back afterwards.

The per-test restore gates on the django_db marker rather than on
request.fixturenames. pytest-django's _django_db_marker requests
_django_db_helper, never the public db or transactional_db fixture, so those
names are absent from the closure and a fixturenames-only check is false for
every marker-only test. The gate keeps the fixturenames branch as well, for
tests that request db directly without the marker.
Both suites post server_key "stub" and both passed alone but failed in a full
run. test_interface_vlan_sync declares pytest_plugins at module level, which
registers the API-test helpers session-wide, and that plugin carries an autouse
fixture pinning get_plugin_config to a default-only server map. Every module
collected after it inherits the mock, so "stub" became an unknown explicit key,
LibreNMSAPI raised KeyError, build_librenms_api returned None and the view
failed closed with 400 before it reached the behaviour under test. The
concurrency thread returned for the same reason and never reached target
locking.

Each module now overrides the fixture by name, which is the pattern
test_device_fields_server_scoping already uses. Load the helper plugin
explicitly to reproduce the old failures:

  pytest -p netbox_librenms_plugin.tests.test_librenms_api_helpers \
    netbox_librenms_plugin/tests/test_verify_views.py \
    netbox_librenms_plugin/tests/test_sync_interface_concurrency.py
Relationship resolution read port_id_high and port_id_low. A live LibreNMS
26.6.1 returns {id, device_id, high_ifIndex, high_port_id, low_ifIndex,
low_port_id, ifStackStatus}, so both lookups returned None, every entry was
skipped, and LAG membership and sub-interface parenting both resolved to an
empty map. Nothing was mis-paired: the loop never reached the pairing.

LibreNMS 24.07 renamed the old port_id_high and port_id_low columns to
high_ifIndex and low_ifIndex, because they held ifIndex values, and added
high_port_id and low_port_id carrying the resolved port ids. The endpoint
serves the rows verbatim, so the response uses the column names. The API docs
still describe the pre-2024 shape, which is where the wrong spelling came from.
high_port_id is the field to read here: this resolver keys by port_id from the
ports payload, so high_ifIndex would match only where an ifIndex happens to
equal some port's id.

Every fixture in the suite used the documented spelling, so production and its
tests agreed on a shape no server sends and the suite stayed green. The fixtures
now carry the real shape: with the wrong keys restored, 29 of 39 resolver tests
fail, against none before. One test pins a verbatim live entry, and an entry
carrying neither key is now logged rather than dropped in silence.
… 4.4

Two CI-only failures on every leg, plus two more on the 4.4.0 leg.

The first two named `server_key = "stub"`. Only `default` is configured in
`media/configuration.testing.py`, which is what CI runs, so the view refused the
unconfigured server and returned before the behaviour under test. Both now use
`default`.

The 4.4.0 pair hit an upstream bug: `Interface.clean()` there compares
`self.parent.device.virtual_chassis` with `self.parent.virtual_chassis`, and
`Interface` has no `virtual_chassis` attribute (4.6 compares
`self.device.virtual_chassis`). So the validation NetBox means to run raises
AttributeError, and a parent on another chassis member 500s instead of being
accepted. `min_version` is 4.4.0 and that leg gates, so `_validate_relationship`
tolerates exactly that failure: the parent edge, `exc.name == "virtual_chassis"`,
and both interfaces on members of one chassis, which is the case the comparison
exists to allow. Anything else propagates.
Reuse the concurrent platform winner directly instead of re-reading it through a
view-restricted queryset. The branch runs only when no platform existed at
preflight, so the gate asked for ("add", Platform) and never ("view", Platform);
restrict() then returns none() for an add-only user and aborts an assign they
were authorized to perform.

Handle IntegrityError at the outer transaction in the interface sync. The
relationship pass catches it around an inner savepoint, but Postgres validates
Django's DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED foreign keys at the outermost COMMIT, so
a concurrently deleted related row escaped that handler and returned HTTP 500.
The inner comment claimed to cover this case and no longer does.

Coerce the cached VLAN id once and drop the entry when it is not numeric. The
value comes from the LibreNMS payload, which is only checked for being a dict, so
a non-numeric VID raised ValueError and aborted a sync that had already applied
other rows.

Degrade the relationship cell when no owner resolves: reverse() with an empty
object_id raises NoReverseMatch and takes down the whole table render.

Bound the port-id regex at 19 digits, the width of a PostgreSQL bigint. An
oversized string was previously rejected only by CPython's int_max_str_digits
limit, which a host may raise or disable.

Extract _lock_mapping_in_scope() so the device-type and platform mapping views
share one scope-then-lock implementation; both copies had to stay identical for
the permission guarantee to hold.

Tests: each production change has a test that fails without it. Also cover the VM
routed sync pages (they inherit the same scoped get_object), add in-grant control
cases for the mapping-scope refusals, name the locked table in the OOB IP lock
assertion, seed a LAG pattern no migration row can match, pin the verify refusal
status, rename the fallback test to match what it asserts, and drop the worker
lock_timeout below the caller's future deadline in two "must not lock" tests.
…e class

The interface table wrote the selection and name accessors into base_columns and
the row-attribute map into _meta before calling super().__init__(). Both are
class attributes: django-tables2 deep-copies type(self).base_columns only after
__init__ runs, and reads _meta.row_attrs from the class. A table built with a
non-default interface_name_field therefore retargeted the columns for every
later table in the same worker process, across requests and users.

The two columns are now copied, given their accessor and passed through
extra_columns, which Table.__init__ applies to its own copy. The accessor has to
be set before that call because BoundColumn.accessor is cached while the columns
are bound, so a later assignment is read back as the column name and renders an
empty cell. The row-attribute map is passed as row_attrs, which binds to the
instance.

Two tests fail against the previous code: the class keeps the leaked "ifName"
accessor, and _meta.row_attrs is populated on the class.

**/views/base/**/*.py: Base view classes (BaseLibreNMSSyncView, BaseInterfaceTableView, BaseCableTableView, BaseIPAddressTableView, BaseVLANTableView) must implement the data pipeline pattern: fetch data from LibreNMS API, cache results with CacheMixin keys like librenms_{data_type}_{model_name}_{pk}, compare against NetBox objects, and render a django-tables2 table in a partial template.
Base table view classes must implement resource-specific comparison logic: interface matching by name, IP matching by address/mask, VLAN matching by VID+group, and cables by matching remote devices and checking cable status.
VlanAssignmentMixin must resolve VLAN group scope in order: Rack → Location → Site → SiteGroup → Region → Global, and must provide auto-selection of the most-specific VLAN group and lookup map building for interface and VLAN sync.

Object sync view methods must create instances of concrete table views, copy the request object, and call get_context_data(). VMs must skip cables and VLANs by returning None from those get_*_context() methods.

Learning: In multi-server caching within the codebase, ensure poller group choices and similar cache discriminators use api.server_key as the cache key component (e.g., cache_key = f"librenms_poller_group_choices_{api.server_key}") rather than api.librenms_url. This aligns with the fixed approach seen in commit bf37f07 and with other modules. Apply this pattern consistently to Python files under netbox_librenms_plugin (and similar multi-server cache keys) to maintain correct cross-server caching behavior.

Learning: In this repository, if you see `timezone.timedelta` used from `django.utils.timezone`, do not request a diff to replace it with `datetime.timedelta` solely on style grounds. This usage is functionally correct because Django exposes `timedelta` via `django.utils.timezone`; treat this as intentional and avoid churn unless there is evidence of changed/incorrect behavior (e.g., `timezone` is not Django’s module or `timedelta` is unavailable).

Learning: When reviewing this plugin’s permission checks, note that `check_object_permissions` / `NetBoxObjectPermissionMixin` enforce only **model-level** permissions: they call `request.user.has_perm(perm)` without any object/row instance, and the plugin does not currently implement per-object (row-level) permission scoping. Therefore, do **not** flag “missing winner-side/per-object object-permission checks” in sync/migrate views (or elsewhere in the plugin) as a defect; per-object permission scoping is an intentional plugin-wide design gap to be addressed in a dedicated future PR.

Learning: In the NetBox LibreNMS plugin, normalize all LibreNMS serial values via `netbox_librenms_plugin.utils.normalize_serial()` before storing/comparing them. Treat only `None` as “absent”; for any other value (including numeric/falsey values like `0` or `False`), convert using `str(value).strip()` inside the normalizer. For identity/conflict checks against existing NetBox `Device` rows, compare using trimmed serial matching (i.e., compare normalized/stripped serial strings) so legacy device serials with surrounding whitespace still match normalized incoming serials.

Learning: For unit tests in this repo (e.g., coverage API tests), when testing a happy-path call like `add_device()`, assert both the success flag and the expected success message (e.g., `assert ok is True` and `assert msg == "Device added successfully."`). This ensures the test fails if `add_device()` returns `(False, ...)`. If a related assertion is explicitly tracked as a known deferred follow-up for a prior PR, do not treat the missing `ok is True` assertion as a new review finding in subsequent reviews.

Learning: When application code performs a function-local import inside a method body (e.g., `from utilities.permissions import get_permission_for_model`), unit tests should patch the original source attribute (`utilities.permissions.get_permission_for_model`). Do not patch the consumer module’s name (e.g., `netbox_librenms_plugin.views.imports.actions.get_permission_for_model`) unless the function is imported at module scope and exposed as a module attribute—local imports re-resolve the attribute at call time.

Learning: When reviewing tests under netbox_librenms_plugin/tests, don’t treat intentional stubs/mocks of lower-layer helper functions as a “coverage hole” if the test’s goal is to isolate and verify only the validate-layer (or another single unit of behavior). If the stubbed helper’s actual logic is exercised in dedicated tests at the helper/service layer (e.g., test_*_helper* / test_librenms_id.py), it’s acceptable for the validate-layer test to control helper outputs (via side_effect/return values) and assert the validate-layer mapping/selection logic only. Flag only when the stub hides untested logic that should belong to the unit under test (i.e., the test asserts behavior from the helper without actually verifying the unit’s own responsibility).

Learning: When reviewing tests related to the LibreNMS device ID migration flow (e.g., `migrate_librenms_id` / `migrate_legacy_librenms_id`), do not require `validation["librenms_id_needs_migration"] == True` solely for test setup. That flag is only used for UI visibility in `device_status.py` / `device_validation_details.html`; the backend migration action is gated by the instance’s legacy raw value (`custom_field_data["librenms_id"]` matching the active LibreNMS device id) plus the `serial_confirmed` or `force` condition. If the test already pins/executes migration by asserting the migration function was called with the locked instance (or otherwise directly forces execution), it should be acceptable even when `librenms_id_needs_migration` is not set to True.

Learning: In tests under netbox_librenms_plugin/tests, don’t rely on “pure” MagicMock setups that stub chained calls like `interfaces.filter.return_value.first.return_value` when the code under test is supposed to distinguish between (1) a librenms_id custom-field lookup and (2) a name-based fallback lookup. If the mock returns the same interface regardless of filter arguments, the test cannot detect which lookup path matched (renaming variables like `remote_port` doesn’t fix this). Use a real-DB hardening test instead: create/seed a `remote_port` value that is deliberately different from the actual interface name so only the librenms_id CF lookup can produce a match. If an existing MagicMock-masked test file is develop-inherited (identical on origin/develop), don’t modify it in feature PRs; add a new real-DB hardening test file (e.g., `test_enrich_remote_port_realdb.py`) on the develop-targeted branch.

Learning: In permission-scoped NetBox views, do not replace re-locks that use an already resolved object primary key (for example, `pk=already_resolved.pk`) with `restricted_queryset()`. NetBox `restrict()` may return `none()` when no model-level grant exists, even if the view-level permission gate allows the operation, causing valid rows to be removed from the lock set and producing an erroneous “no longer exists” result. AST guards for raw client-supplied primary-key lookups should distinguish and exempt these re-locks based on the ID-expression shape.

Learning: For any redirect/tab URL building in netbox_librenms_plugin/views/sync, views/base, and views/object_sync, propagate the active multi-server `server_key` as a `?server_key=<key>` query parameter so users return to the same server’s tab after POST actions. When handling POST requests, read the POST-scoped `server_key` from `request.POST` and store it (e.g., `self._post_server_key`) with a fallback to `self.librenms_api.server_key`; use this POST-scoped key for both cache-key scoping and for constructing the redirect/tab URLs. Treat this as the intentional codebase-wide convention—do not flag the presence/usage of the `server_key` query parameter (or the corresponding POST-scoped `_post_server_key` pattern) in these views as an error.

Learning: When building OOB relationships from interface/device view code, call get_librenms_oob() using the resolved sync device (e.g., `lookup_device = get_librenms_sync_device(obj, server_key=...) or obj; oob = get_librenms_oob(lookup_device, ...)`) rather than calling get_librenms_oob(obj, ... ) directly. For VC members, OOB data (including shared-LOM markers) is stored on the resolved sync device, so resolving first is required to avoid dropping OOB rows.

Learning: When implementing per-object permission resolution in verify views (e.g., like `SingleIPAddressVerifyView`), `_required_perms_for_object` should: (1) if `object_type` is explicit, gate on the exact model permission for that target type; (2) if `object_type` is not explicit, resolve the object id to its model without reading the object’s data (avoid fetching the object just to determine permissions); and (3) in ambiguous cases, fail closed by requiring all relevant view permissions (deny unless both applicable permissions are satisfied). Add/extend DB-backed tests to cover allow/deny paths and the “no `object_type`” case.

Learning: In views under netbox_librenms_plugin/views/object_sync, server_key values come from admin-controlled PLUGINS_CONFIG dict keys (e.g., "default", "production") and are not user input. Therefore URL-encoding them via urlencode() is unnecessary defensiveness. Do not flag direct string interpolation of server_key into query strings as a URL-injection or encoding issue. This guidance should apply to similar views in the same directory.

Learning: In object_sync view classes that pass Django/NetBox `request` into child table context helpers (e.g., for interfaces/cables/IPs/vlans/modules), ensure the child view stores `copy.copy(request)` rather than the original `request` object. Apply this consistently across similar sync views (such as the pattern used in `VMLibreNMSSyncView` in `vms.py`) to prevent cross-view request mutation when the child view modifies the request.

Client and template integration
netbox_librenms_plugin/static/netbox_librenms_plugin/js/librenms_sync.js, netbox_librenms_plugin/templates/netbox_librenms_plugin/_interface_sync*.html
Adds automatic LAG-member and parent selection, stable row keys, request cancellation and rollback, relationship controls, server-key propagation, and incomplete-data warnings.
Validation and regression coverage
netbox_librenms_plugin/tests/*
Adds model, API, migration, LibreNMS, relationship, rendering, permission, cache, synchronization, and concurrency tests. It also updates supporting test fixtures and assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9054e

The PR adds parent/LAG/child relationship syncing and interface UI updates, but a valid VLAN-group override can still be silently ignored in favor of auto-selection, which may produce incorrect synchronization choices; merge should wait for this correctness issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit traced each port in flight,
Found parent paths and LAGs just right.
Stable IDs kept rows in line,
While sync locks held each link in time.
🐇 Patterns bloomed in NetBox bright.

The plugin serializers declared only their own fields, so `?brief=true` and
nested representations did not carry `url` and `display` and no serializer
declared `brief_fields`. Each now serializes the identity fields and declares
an explicit brief set.

The test derives its parameters from the API router registrations rather than
a hand-written list, so a serializer added later fails until it declares the
contract. It also asserts the declaration end to end: a brief GET must return
exactly the declared keys, and `url` must resolve to the detail route.
The override allow-list was built from the groups that already carry the VID,
so an "apply to all" selection naming an in-scope group that still needs the
VLAN was discarded and the row fell back to the global value. The allow-list is
now the row's in-scope groups.

The verify endpoint set that list on the row after the selection call, so it
would have validated against an empty scope. It now sets it first.

Tests use real VLANGroup and Site rows and cover both directions: an in-scope
group missing the VID is kept, an out-of-scope group is still rejected. The
existing override test omitted the field production always supplies, so it was
asserting against a shape the application never produces.

Also from the same review: clear the cache namespace on fixture teardown, and
give the malformed-payload test an explicit port_id so its 404 cannot come from
the missing-port_id guard instead.
