Every model with a JSON-in-Text column hand-rolled the same try/except
json.loads pair — get_details/get_context/get_headers/get_payload and a
dozen more, each a place the next fix would have to land N times. The
mixin owns the mechanics (empty-is-default, corrupt-is-default so a
hand-edited row never 500s an endpoint, optional shape check,
falsy-on-write); the per-model parts — accessor name, column, default —
stay per-model.
Conversion is behaviour-preserving: identical fallbacks, identical
on-write empty forms (NULL vs '[]' vs '{}'). Deliberately NOT converted:
accessors that let json.loads raise on corrupt data (collapsing those
would be a behaviour change, not a consolidation), and inline parses in
to_dict (per-entity serialization choice). A handful of 'except
Exception' reads narrow to the dominant (JSONDecodeError, TypeError) —
the only exceptions json.loads raises for str input.
Add SystemEvent model, TelemetryService, /api/v1 telemetry endpoints, and
a /telemetry UI page. Instrument audit, notification, webhook, backup,
deployment, and monitoring paths. Add correlation_id to Notification,
EventDelivery, and DeploymentJob so related events can be grouped.
- 18 backend tests added and passing
- Frontend production build clean
