The import created presets with the store's default counter (1). Cards
whose counters are already past it had to be edited preset by preset
afterwards.
- The outfile preview form gains a "Start counter value" field (default
1, the store's value). The value is written into every created keyset
of every imported card - parse_outfile's `start_counter`, 1-10 hex
digits, whitespace stripped and uppercased; a bad value raises and the
endpoint answers 400. Without it the store's default still applies
(the field is omitted), so the API keeps its old behaviour.
- The preview shows the counter; an import stores the protocol's
10-digit form (counter_hex).
- Docs: api.md (the field), help EN/RU (the form).
- Version strings + the PWA cache bumped together (simple-v459).
Tests: the parser (every keyset, normalisation, unset, the bad values),
the endpoint (the preview's keysets, the 400, the stored padded form),
the PWA (the field's default, the controls' normalisation, both bodies).
1008 Python + 953 frontend green.
Reinstalling the package was slow because setup rebuilds pysim's
prerequisites (pyscard compiles from source on Linux), while a clone
updates with a plain `git pull`.
- tools/update.py (+ update.sh / update.bat in the package, and the
release workflow shipping them) updates a packaged install in place:
it downloads the latest release package, extracts it (zip-slip guard,
permission bits restored - zipfile drops them), replaces the app files
over the app directory and re-installs the app into the existing
.venv. The .venv and simple_lastrun.log are not in the package, so
pysim and its prerequisites survive: seconds, not a rebuild.
--check / --version / --zip (offline) / --no-pip / --force; the same
version is a no-op.
- CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog, from the first packaged release;
earlier history is the git log). The release workflow now uses the
version's CHANGELOG section as the release body
(tools/changelog_section.py, falling back to generated notes).
- The READMEs document the update path and the `git clone --depth 1`
option for the clone path; setup prints the update hint.
- Version strings + the PWA cache bumped together (simple-v458).
Verified: 1007 Python + 953 frontend; the release-package test covers
the new files; the updater was exercised end to end (a v3.31.2 install
with a real venv updated to the 3.32.0 package: files replaced, the
venv marker kept, pip metadata 3.32.0, exec bits kept, a second run a
no-op, --check correct).
