  1. this ship

    Free Computers has Download agent — 5 max

    A free company admin can download the Lantern PC agent from Computers. Copy says Free edition — 5 computers max. Check-ins stay on that org. Shop LAN-scan stays off.

    • ●canDownloadPcAgent is true for free org_admin. canDownloadScanAgent stays false. No ARP button on /computers.
    • ●Inventory POST uses that org’s token — not Enlighten, Cobus, or Harborline. Cap of 5.
    • ●Short lede. Did not dump SmartScreen/UAC on the free page. Guide packages-free.png and floors-path.png restamped in Outfit to match /start cards.

  1. this deploy

    PC Agent posts SMART detail, Defender, and uptime

    The 15-minute HTTPS-out inventory now includes reallocated sectors, last Windows Update install date, missing critical KBs, Defender state, and uptime. Host Health and the Computers chip already knew how to show those fields; they were Unknown until this package. Harborline demo rows stay compiled — no invented SMART.

    • ●Package 2026.09.19.1 splices Get-LanternPcHealth into the push. Auto-update via /api/computers/agent/version, or re-download the EXE from Computers.
    • ●Fast 5-minute check-ins stay quiet so a partial push does not wipe a full reading. A field Windows will not answer still reads Unknown.
    • ●computers-tab and pc-health are checked off. Remote desktop is still not this phase. Password hashes untouched.

  1. this deploy

    LAN scan helper no longer flashes a window

    The optional LAN scan helper (the Others-page download that inventories a shop LAN over ARP/ping) ran its background scan by launching powershell.exe directly, so a black console could flash and steal focus. Package 2026.09.18.2 runs the scan through a windowless host, the same way the PC Agent already does.

    • ●The scheduled task LanternLanScan is Hidden=true and its action is wscript → LanternPcHidden.exe (CREATE_NO_WINDOW), not powershell.exe. Scan diagnostics go to a log file, not the screen.
    • ●Re-download the LAN scan EXE and run it once. It deletes the old bare-powershell task and re-registers the hidden one. Password hashes untouched.

  2. this deploy

    PC Agent install no longer flashes a black PowerShell window

    The 15-minute task and Startup shortcut still launched powershell.exe, so a black console with red WMI lines could pop even after 18.7’s hidden wscript wrapper. Package 2026.09.18.9 runs inventory through LanternPcHidden.exe (CREATE_NO_WINDOW). Re-download the EXE and run it once.

    • ●Scheduled tasks stay Hidden=true / highest, and the task image is wscript → LanternPcHidden.exe, not powershell.exe. Tray Push and auto-update use the same host. QuickFix / temp / UniFi errors go to a log, not the console.
    • ●Did not restyle Air or switches. Did not change UniFi tenant isolation. Password hashes untouched.

  3. this deploy

    PC Agent can read Ryzen CPU temp without ACPI

    the operator test PC’s Ryzen 3700X had no ACPI thermal zone, so CPU stayed Unknown / no ACPI even when LibreHardwareMonitor or extra CIM sensors exist. Package 2026.09.18.8 asks those user-mode sources. No invented numbers.

    • ●The 15-minute task and auto-update pick up 18.8. Refresh Computers after the next push. Hidden inventory window from 18.7 is still hidden.
    • ●Did not restyle Air or switches. Did not Test-pull UniFi cloud. Password hashes untouched.

  4. this deploy

    PC Agent no longer pops a console over a game

    The 15-minute inventory, tray Push, auto-update, UniFi LAN pull, and install PowerShell were flashing a window and stealing focus. Package 2026.09.18.7 runs those jobs fully hidden.

    • ●Scheduled tasks use Hidden=true, SYSTEM where that was already the design, and a wscript helper so powershell.exe never paints a console. Auto-update via /api/computers/agent/version.
    • ●Did not restyle Air or switches. Did not Test-pull UniFi cloud. Password hashes untouched.

  5. this deploy

    PC Agent install no longer prints red Windows Update sort errors

    Install still POSTs inventory, but sorting installed KBs used DateTime.TryParse the wrong way and painted red Sort-Object lines. Package 2026.09.18.6 parses those dates safely. Push still works.

    • ●The 15-minute task and auto-update pick up 18.6. the operator test PC already posted on 18.5 — refresh Computers. Exit the tray only if it is stuck on 18.5.
    • ●Did not restyle the frozen Computers list. Password hashes untouched.

  6. this deploy

    Tray Push inventory no longer dies on a missing file

    Right-click Push inventory showed a WinForms box: the system cannot find the file specified. The tray’s powershell.exe path used a JavaScript \v escape (vertical tab), so Start-Process never launched the script. Package 2026.09.18.5 finds powershell.exe and still POSTs inventory if nvidia-smi is missing.

    • ●Download agent 2026.09.18.5 from Computers and run it so the tray button works tonight. The 15-minute scheduled task already calls powershell.exe -File and can still POST without a new EXE.
    • ●Missing nvidia-smi / ADL does not abort the HTTPS-out inventory POST. Password hashes untouched.

  7. this deploy

    the operator test PC temps: real C or Unknown · no ACPI

    the operator test PC was Online on 2026.09.18.3 but CPU/GPU temp stayed Unknown. Live store had the string Unknown from the last POST — ingest was fine. Package 2026.09.18.4 copies temps before the CPU name, finds nvidia-smi in Sysnative DriverStore, and tries AMD ADL. A Ryzen 3700X with no ACPI posts Unknown · no ACPI, not a blank Unknown.

    • ●Re-download the PC Agent from Computers (package 2026.09.18.4) or wait for the six-hour auto-update, then tray → Push inventory. The 18.3 EXE cannot pick up this script.
    • ●Did not invent Harborline sample temps on Cobus PCs. No WinRing0. Password hashes untouched.

  8. this deploy

    PC Online and temps: tokens and user-session sensors

    Downloading the EXE had revoked every other PC token, so the operator test PC and the Win10 box posted 401 and went Offline. Those hashes are live again. Temps need package 2026.09.18.3 (Sysnative nvidia-smi, ACPI WMI, tray Fast push). Unknown only when Windows has no sensor.

    • ●Refresh Computers. TORCH / the operator test PC / DESKTOP should come Online on the next check-in without a new EXE.
    • ●Temps: re-download 2026.09.18.3 on each PC then tray Push inventory. Exit the extra tray icon.
    • ●Did not invent Harborline numbers on a shop PC. UniFi LAN pull unchanged.

  9. this deploy

    PC Agent push no longer dies on 401

    Download agent used to revoke every other PC token, so Push inventory showed a .NET 401 and never stored CPU temp. Multiple tokens stay live. Inventory POST is separate from UniFi. Temps stick on a good check-in.

    • ●PCs that already popped the purple 401 box: Download agent once from Computers and run the installer (package 2026.09.18.3). That PC gets a working token; other PCs keep theirs.
    • ●After that, tray → Push inventory is enough. CPU/GPU temps are not UniFi. Offline last-seen uses UTC vs local without painting a live PC dead.
    • ●Did not restyle frozen Computers list, OG, or the rail. Password hashes untouched.

  10. this deploy

    One Windows tray after reboot

    Two Lantern PC Agent icons in the Windows tray was two Startup shortcuts, not two UniFi. Install keeps the all-users StartUp shortcut and deletes the current-user Startup link. The tray takes a Global mutex and exits if one is already running.

    • ●Re-download the PC Agent EXE from Computers (package 2026.09.18.2), or wait for the six-hour auto-update, then run install so the leftover user Startup .lnk is removed.
    • ●Tonight: right-click one of the two tray icons → Exit. After the next reboot there should be one.
    • ●Did not restyle frozen Computers list, OG, or the rail. Password hashes untouched.

  1. this deploy

    Host page CPU/GPU temps, SMART, and NVMe life from the agent

    The Lantern PC Agent now asks Windows WMI/CIM for CPU temp, GPU temp, SMART, and NVMe wear on the HTTPS-out push. Host information stays Unknown only when those classes have no value. Re-download the EXE from Computers.

    • ●Inventory scheduled task runs as SYSTEM with WindowStyle Hidden and ExecutionPolicy Bypass so ACPI/SMART/Wear are not skipped.
    • ●CPU: MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature, Win32_TemperatureProbe, thermal-zone counters. GPU: nvidia-smi plus NVIDIA/AMD WMI. No kernel temp driver.
    • ●SMART: FailurePredictStatus, StorageReliabilityCounter, PhysicalDisk HealthStatus, Win32_DiskDrive Status. NVMe life is 100 minus Wear. Harborline demo may still be sample.
    • ●Same EXE Open ticket form: issue + Low/Medium/High + Submit. Did not restyle frozen Computers/Phones/Cameras lists, OG, lockup, or the Enlighten footer.

  2. this deploy

    Host page shows NVMe/SSD percent life remaining

    The PC agent reads SSD/NVMe wear from WMI and stores percent life remaining next to disk usage and SMART on Host information. Unknown when Wear is empty — not a guessed number.

    • ●POST /api/computers/agent accepts lifeRemaining / wear. PowerShell uses Get-StorageReliabilityCounter Wear and Get-PhysicalDisk Wear.
    • ●Harborline demo hosts have compiled percents. Print server stays Unknown (no Wear). CSV stays Not this card.
    • ●Did not restyle the frozen Computers list, Phones, Cameras, OG, or the rail.

  3. this deploy

    Click a PC for inventory; agents auto-update

    Hostname on Computers opens host detail: current settings, CPU, RAM, SMART, last check-in, and recently installed Windows KBs. A shop PC pulls a new Lantern agent HTTPS-out — no visit.

    • ●POST /api/computers/agent stores CPU, RAM, manufacturer/model, and Win32_QuickFixEngineering KBs.
    • ●GET /api/computers/agent/version is public. Bearer GET /api/computers/agent/update does not rotate the company token.
    • ●Did not restyle the frozen Computers list beyond the hostname link. No remote desktop. Password hashes, OG, and the rail stayed.

  4. this deploy

    Host page shows C: used, free, and total

    The PC agent POSTs Win32_LogicalDisk Size and FreeSpace on the same HTTPS-out push as SMART. Host information lists C: used, C: free, and C: total next to SMART. CSV stays Unknown until the EXE checks in.

    • ●Push-LanternPcInventory.ps1 reads DriveType=3 Size/FreeSpace. POST /api/computers/agent stores volumes.
    • ●Harborline demo hosts have compiled C: numbers. Frozen Computers list columns did not move.
    • ●Did not restyle Phones, Cameras, DeviceInventory, OG, or the rail.

  5. this deploy

    Host page shows last check-in CPU, memory, and NIC

    Open a PC from Locations → Computers. The host page lists CPU usage, memory usage, ethernet link, IP, MAC, gateway, and DNS from the last HTTPS-out push. If the agent has not sent a field, it says Unknown. There is no live graph.

    • ●/computers/[id] is the host page. Name on the Computers list opens it.
    • ●The Windows agent POSTs usage and nic facts on the same 15-minute HTTPS-out push. CSV/RMM rows stay Unknown until the EXE checks in.
    • ●Harborline demo IPs stay compiled. No fake live graphs. Password hashes untouched.

  6. this deploy

    PC agent reports SMART and Windows Update

    The Lantern PC Agent push now includes disk SMART and Windows Update. Those values land in the Disk and Updates columns already on Computers. CSV import still shows Not this card until the EXE checks in.

    • ●POST /api/computers/agent accepts disk / windowsUpdate. PowerShell reads FailurePredictStatus, storage wear, pending updates, and reboot-required.
    • ●Warnings use the frozen Computers table. Did not restyle Phones, Cameras, DeviceInventory, OG, or the rail.
    • ●Harborline demo rows stay compiled. No fake first-building. Remote desktop is still after launch.
