louispaulb a6974e2443 chore(ops): install frappe_pg + version-control the post-install patch
Done what the docs suggested in c31a9e0 — actually installed
excel-azmin/frappe_pg on prod erp.gigafibre.ca (1.0.0, master pinned
at commit a237f5995b). Hit one compat bug along the way and fixed it.

The bug

  frappe_pg monkey-patches PostgresDatabase.commit() and .rollback()
  with wrappers that have the OLD `(self)` signature. Frappe 16.12+
  now calls `db.rollback(chain=True)` from app.py:sync_database(),
  which makes every HTTP request crash with:

    TypeError: patched_rollback() got an unexpected keyword argument 'chain'

  Symptom: HTTP 500 on /api/method/ping, Sales Invoice list, etc.
  Customer Server Scripts that don't return through sync_database
  (like our customer_balance) still worked, which is why the bug
  only surfaced after the post-install restart.

The fix

  Two-part: signatures take `*args, **kwargs`, and the wrapped call
  forwards them to the original. Idempotent sed.

    -def patched_rollback(self):
    +def patched_rollback(self, *args, **kwargs):
    -    return _original_rollback(self)
    +    return _original_rollback(self, *args, **kwargs)

  Both files in frappe_pg need it: postgres/database_patches.py and
  patches/postgres_fix.py. Same fix for patched_commit.

Saved as patches/fix_frappe_pg_signatures.sh so we can re-apply after
every `bench update` or fresh install. The comment block in the
script documents why it exists and links the upstream issue (TODO:
file PR at excel-azmin/frappe_pg). docs/SETUP.md §7 was updated to
mention the post-install patch step, the nginx-IP-cache gotcha that
will produce a confusing 502 if you only restart the backend, and
the correct repo (excel-azmin, not the-commit-company that I had
hallucinated in the previous commit).

Smoke test results post-install:
  ping, Customer list, Sales Invoice list, Service Location list,
  customer_balance Server Script, ops SPA, hub /health — all 200.

Gigafibre FSM

Gigafibre FSM is the operations platform for Gigafibre (consumer brand of TARGO Internet), a fiber ISP in Quebec. It replaces a legacy PHP/MariaDB billing system with ERPNext v16 + Vue 3/Quasar apps for ops, dispatch, field service, and customer self-service.

Auth Pattern

Two parallel Authentik instances — not a migration in progress:

  • auth.targo.ca — staff-facing. Protects /ops/, n8n, Gitea, the hub admin endpoints. Also acts as the OAuth provider for ERPNext sign-in. Lives on the prod box at /opt/authentik (managed by Targo's IT team).
  • id.gigafibre.ca — customer-facing. Protects the client portal. Lives at /opt/authentik-client on the prod box.

Staff apps go through Traefik forwardAuth → Authentik outpost → cookie. The ops SPA reads X-Authentik-Email from the proxied header to identify the user, then maps Authentik groups to the in-app capability set (useUserGroups.js). All ERPNext API calls from targo-hub use Authorization: token <ERP_SERVICE_TOKEN> (Bearer from .env).

New users are added via ops Settings → Utilisateurs → "Inviter" which hits POST /auth/users on the hub. The hub creates the Authentik user, sets a temporary password, emails it via Mailjet, and creates the matching ERPNext System User in one round-trip. See docs/SETUP.md §6.
