Summary

Most stations never report anything, and that stays the normal case: they are configured in Antenna and synced on demand from an SD card or object storage. This is for the minority that have a device on the network. When one of those goes quiet, the platform saw only an absence of captures — which looks exactly like a quiet night — because Deployment carried no telemetry of any kind and a device's own account of itself had nowhere to land.

A device now reports in through POST /api/v2/deployments/{id}/status/. Each report is kept as history and the most recent is copied onto the station, so a station list can show when each was last heard from without querying the whole series.

A report asks for as little as possible: which unit is reporting and what software it is running. Nothing else records those — a station's device says what kind of hardware was configured, not which physical box is on site or what it is running — and a device does not restate its type, which would only duplicate that field or disagree with it.

Everything past those two fields is capability, and devices differ. A phone knows its battery percentage; a mains-powered box knows only that it is powered; a box with no fuel gauge knows nothing about power at all. So the schema names none of it and keeps whatever arrives exactly as published. Conventional key names are documented so devices reporting the same thing agree on spelling; a reading that turns out to be common, and worth filtering or charting on, can be promoted into a named field later.

Because a connected device is the exception rather than a property of every station, none of this is presented as something a station has. The list gains one column, "Last seen", blank for every station that syncs offline. The station detail gains one section, "Reported by the device", which appears only when something reported — so a station configured for offline sync looks exactly as it did before.

This is the platform half of what #958 asked for: last seen, battery level where a device can measure it, images captured, and room for other health metrics, surfaced in the Stations view. The capture app is the first client.

List of Changes

Change (what it does) How Notes
A device can report how it is doing POST /api/v2/deployments/{id}/status/, with GET on the same path returning recent reports, newest first New @action on DeploymentViewSet
A report says which unit sent it and what it runs device_id and software_version are required Nothing else records either; a report without them is a 400
A device reports only what it can measure Everything past identity is kept exactly as published (extra = "allow") One endpoint serves devices with different sensors; conventional key names are documented, not enforced
The settings a device is capturing under are recorded By convention under survey_config, stored verbatim Nothing is lost while the capture app's configuration is still changing shape
Reports are kept as a series New DeploymentStatus model, ordered by the device's own clock recorded_at is the device's clock, created_at is arrival — a device offline all night uploads late, and the gap is how far behind it is
A station list can show "last seen" without an aggregate query last_status_at and last_status denormalized onto Deployment Written with a queryset update, never save() — see below
A late report does not overwrite a newer one record_status() refreshes the denormalized copy only when the report it stored is the newest Backlogs arrive out of order
Reporting needs no new permission The status action maps to SYNC_DEPLOYMENT in Deployment.check_custom_permission Project managers and ML data managers already hold it; no permission migration
An operator sees when each station last reported Sortable "Last seen" column on the station list Blank for stations that sync offline, which is the honest answer
An operator sees what a device published One "Reported by the device" section on the station detail Labels come from the keys the device sent; the section appears only once a station has reported

Two things worth a reviewer's attention

A heartbeat must not recount the station. Saving a Deployment recounts its captures, occurrences and taxa and can queue a regrouping job. At one report every few minutes that is far too much work, so record_status() writes the denormalized fields with a queryset update and never calls save(). test_reporting_status_does_not_recount_the_station pins it.

Declaring the serializer field with an optional schema breaks the response. SchemaField(schema=Payload | None) renders as a list of [key, value] pairs in the JSON a client receives, which no caller can read. The model field stays nullable; the serializer takes the plain schema and DRF answers null for a station that has never reported. This was invisible in response.data and only showed up in the rendered response, so the test now asserts on response.json().

Testing

ami.main.tests.TestDeploymentStatus — 12 tests: the permission matrix, identity being required, a report becoming the latest, two devices with different sensors each keeping their own readings and being asked for nothing else, a device reporting identity alone, nested structures round-tripping, a late report not overwriting a newer one, a missing timestamp defaulting to arrival, history ordering, the report not recounting the station, and what the station list answers for stations that have and have not reported.

ami/tests/test_station_status_client.py — five tests over real HTTP against a live server, written to double as the client documentation. The client is the two functions at the top of that file; the tests are the four situations a device implementer has to get right, plus what an operator's station list sees.

Also exercised against a running stack: posted reports from a phone and from a mains-powered trail camera, read the history back, and confirmed each station's detail lists only what its own device published.

Not built here

  • Nothing fires when a station goes stale or unhealthy. The denormalized fields exist so a trigger has something cheap to watch.
  • No retention policy on the history. At one report a minute a station produces roughly half a million rows a year, so a prune or rollup is needed before this runs at scale.
  • No aggregate "station health" verdict — what counts as stale depends on a station's own reporting cadence, which it does not yet declare.
  • This records what a station is doing now, not the settings any individual capture was taken with. That belongs on the upload path and is still open.
  • Configurable metadata on device types and deployments is a separate change — a JSON field per record, edited in the UI, queryable and publishable (Add generic metadata JSON fields #507, and Allow meta data to be configured for Deployments #307 for the deployment half). That is metadata a person configures about a station; this is a reading a device publishes about itself. The two will sit beside each other on the same record, and this pull request stays on the heartbeat.

Stations run unattended for weeks and go quiet for reasons an operator can only
discover by visiting them: a flat battery, a full disk, a survey that never
started. Nothing in the platform recorded a station's own account of itself, so
there was nowhere for that to land.

A station now reports in through POST /api/v2/deployments/{id}/status/. Each
report is kept as history and copied onto the station as its latest, so a list of
stations can show when each was last seen without querying the whole series.

The body of a report is a schema with named fields for the things that stop a
station working — battery, storage, whether it is capturing, what software it is
running — and it keeps fields it does not recognise instead of rejecting them.
That means a station can report something the platform has no name for yet, and
the reading is stored rather than lost. It also carries the capture configuration
the station is running under, verbatim, so a survey's settings are recorded from
the first report onward rather than waiting for every field to be modelled here.

Reporting status is trusted at the same level as syncing a station's captures, so
it reuses that permission rather than introducing one of its own.

The station list gains a "Last seen" column, sortable, with the station's own
reported status and battery underneath it. Opening a station shows a "Station
status" section — last seen, reported status, battery and its state, storage
free, software version and capture count — which appears only once that station
has reported at least once, so nothing changes for stations that never do.

Also documents the endpoint and says plainly what it is not: it records what a
station is doing now, not the settings any individual capture was taken with.
That belongs on the upload path and is still open.

The generated migration adds the two "last seen" fields to a station and creates
the status history table.

Two corrections found by running the tests against the stack: times in this
project are naive local (USE_TZ is False), and a station's latest report is
declared on the station serializer so it is answered as data rather than as the
schema object DRF falls back to for an unmapped model field.

Declaring the field with an optional schema made it serialize as a list of
[key, value] pairs in the JSON a client receives, which no caller can read. The
model field stays nullable; the serializer takes the plain schema and the
framework answers null for a station that has never reported.

The test that covers this now reads the rendered response rather than the
serializer's intermediate data, where the wrong shape was invisible, and a second
test pins what a station that has never reported answers.

🟡 Changes recommended

The denormalized last_status_* update path should be made atomic/concurrency-safe, and the SchemaField(... | None) usage should be aligned with nullable-field patterns to avoid schema/serialization edge cases.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Adds station heartbeat telemetry to Antenna so deployments can report “how they’re doing”, persist a time-series of reports, denormalize the latest report onto Deployment for cheap list views/sorting, and surface “last seen” + key readings in the UI.

Changes:

  • Backend: add DeploymentStatus history model, Deployment.last_status_at/last_status denormalized fields, and POST/GET /api/v2/deployments/{id}/status/.
  • Frontend: show sortable “Last seen” column in Stations list and a “Station status” section on station detail pages.
  • Tests & docs: add API/permission/behavior tests and planning notes indexed in docs/claude/INDEX.md.

Bound station-provided recorded_at before updating the latest status. DeploymentStatusRequestSerializer accepts any parseable datetime, and Deployment.record_status() stores it without clock-skew validation. If an authorized caller submits a future timestamp, later heartbeats with earlier timestamps remain in status_reports but cannot replace last_status_at or last_status. The deployment list and detail UI use these fields for Last seen and reported status, so they remain pinned to the future report. Reject or clamp implausible future timestamps, or order the denormalized latest status by server receipt time while retaining recorded_at for history.

Make the latest-status update atomic.

Line 1206 checks latest status before the update. Two concurrent reports can both pass this check. If the older report performs its update last, it overwrites last_status_at and last_status after a newer report.

Use one conditional UPDATE that writes only when last_status_at is null or older than report.recorded_at. Update the in-memory fields only when that update succeeds. Add a concurrent-report regression test.

Proposed fix
-        latest = self.status_reports.order_by("-recorded_at").first()
-        if latest and latest.pk == report.pk:
-            Deployment.objects.filter(pk=self.pk).update(
+        updated = Deployment.objects.filter(pk=self.pk).filter(

Show battery_state when battery_percent is absent.

battery_state is an independent optional field. This condition renders it only when batteryLabel exists. A report with battery_state: "charging" and no battery_percent will hide the charging state. Use the state as a fallback when the percentage is unavailable.

Claude says: One thing to watch at merge time, noted on #1409 as well.

Both this PR and #1409 (mobile upload API) add check_custom_permission to Deployment — this one maps the status action, that one maps upload_request, and both reuse SYNC_DEPLOYMENT. The two definitions merge without a conflict, and Python keeps the last one, so whichever lands second silently removes the other's mapping and starts refusing every non-superuser on that action.

It showed up immediately when the two branches were merged together for local testing: the upload permission tests went to 403 with nothing in the diff to explain it. Folding both actions into a single method is a one-line set membership and fixes it:

if action in {"upload_request", "status"}:
    return user.has_perm(Project.Permissions.SYNC_DEPLOYMENT, self.project)

Whoever merges second should make that change in the same commit.

The stations table draws only the columns named in its default visibility map, so
a column missing from that map never appears. Last seen is the point of the
change, so it belongs on by default.

Devices differ in what they can sense. A phone knows its battery percentage; a
mains-powered box knows only that it is powered; something with no fuel gauge
knows nothing about power at all. Naming battery, storage and capture counts in
the schema made the platform's guesses look like a contract, and left every
station showing blank rows for readings its hardware cannot take.

A report now requires three things — which device sent it, what kind of device it
is, and what software it is running — and accepts whatever else that device is
able to gather. The station detail lists what actually arrived, so a phone shows
its battery and a trail camera shows its lamp hours, each without rows the other
would leave empty. Conventional key names are documented on the schema so devices
that do report the same reading agree on spelling; a reading common enough to
filter or chart on can be promoted to a named field later.

The station list is back to one thing: when the station was last heard from. The
readings underneath it were the platform's guesses, and no device publishes them
yet.

Combine the stacked custom permission mappings.

When PR #1409 merges, its separate Deployment.check_custom_permission definition replaces this one. One of status or upload_request then falls through to the base permission logic, which causes 403 responses for non-superusers with SYNC_DEPLOYMENT.

Handle both actions in one method, for example with if action in {"upload_request", "status"}:.

Most stations never report anything: they are configured in Antenna and synced on
demand from an SD card or object storage. Presenting "Station status" as its own
section implied every station has one, and the majority never will.

Everything a device says now sits under a single "Reported by the device" section,
which appears only when something reported. A station that syncs offline looks
exactly as it did before.

A device also no longer states its own type. The station already carries a Device
saying what kind of hardware it is, and a second copy in the report could only
duplicate that field or disagree with it. What is left is what nothing else
records: which physical unit is reporting, and what software it is running.

The client is two functions at the top of the file, about twenty lines together,
and the tests exercise them over real HTTP against a running server rather than
through the test client. So the file is both the integration test for the
endpoint and the example a device author copies: the requests in it are exactly
what a device sends.

Four situations a device implementer has to get right are each a test: readings
through a night arriving in order, a device reporting only what it can measure,
a report refused for not saying which unit sent it, and a backlog uploaded late
without overwriting what is current.

Device types and deployments both want a metadata field a person configures
(#507, #307). That is a different shape from a reading a device publishes about
itself, and the two will sit beside each other on the same record.

1225-1226: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve both custom permission actions after the stacked merge.

PR #1409 also adds Deployment.check_custom_permission for upload_request. If both method definitions remain, Python uses only the later definition. Users with SYNC_DEPLOYMENT then receive 403 for the omitted action. Handle both actions in this branch.

Proposed fix
-        if action == "status":
+        if action in {"upload_request", "status"}:
             return user.has_perm(Project.Permissions.SYNC_DEPLOYMENT, self.project)

Test each required identity field separately.

This request omits both fields together. It can pass if device_id or software_version becomes optional. Send one invalid request without each field and assert 400 with no stored report for both cases.

Based on the supplied StationStatusPayload contract.

-        response = self.client.post(self.url, {"status": {"battery_percent": 80}}, format="json")

-        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 400)

Localize boolean status values.

formatReportedValue returns hard-coded "Yes" and "No". The surrounding UI uses translate(...), so localized users will see these values in English. Add translated STRING entries and use them here.

`SYNC_DEPLOYMENT`. Reporting is trusted at the same level as syncing a station's
captures, so no new guardian permission and no permission migration.
- A late report does not overwrite a newer one: `record_status` refreshes the
denormalized copy only when the report it just stored is the newest by `recorded_at`.

💡 Result:

PR #1409 adds POST /api/v2/deployments/{id}/upload-request/ for direct-to-storage mobile uploads. It maps upload_request to the existing SYNC_DEPLOYMENT permission via Deployment.check_custom_permission, avoiding a new permission or migration. (github.com)

Important merge note: PR #1408 also modifies check_custom_permission; the methods may merge without a conflict, but the later definition can silently overwrite the other mapping. Both actions should be combined into one method before merging. (github.com)

Combine the status and upload_request permission branches.

Deployment.check_custom_permission grants SYNC_DEPLOYMENT only for status and delegates upload_request to BaseModel.check_custom_permission, which checks upload_request_deployment. Non-superusers can therefore receive 403 responses. Route both actions through SYNC_DEPLOYMENT in one method.
