The remaining gap to a single service is the DYMO M10 postal scale (USB HID
0922:8003/8004, ~130 lines of the Node daemon) -- everything else the extension
calls is already served. Scale was not plugged in today, so note that any port
written before it is connected is untested.
Also records the wanted Logitech C920 + cutting-mat dimension capture, and what
still works with the Urovo unplugged (previews, label layout, Dymo, Chafon).

The SKU<->EPC layout inherited from daemon.cs was WRONG. daemon.cs packs 6 bytes
of SKU + 4 bytes of release_id + an 0xEC01 marker, and flagged itself as
unverified. The shop's actual scheme -- in pliceclogs/rfid-daemon/index.js
(buildEpcPayload/parseEpcData), which is what the extension and every existing
tag use -- is a single 96-bit big-endian integer:
value = sku(14 digits) * 10^9 + releaseId
Checked against that file's own worked example: 20260321001001 + 35332 ->
20260321001001000035332. epc_decode also reproduces its guard, returning None
when value/10^9 exceeds 14 digits, so a factory tag (E28069...) can never be
reported to the operator as a real SKU.
This matters: parseEpcData rejects the EC01 layout outright, so every tag the
Windows daemon has written is invisible to the extension. ASSESSMENT.md now
carries that as a red open item against daemon.cs.
Verified end-to-end with an INDEPENDENT reader. ASSESSMENT.md sec.4 parked the
Chafon as HID-keyboard-only, but that is Windows-specific -- on macOS it exposes
a CH340 bridge and its documented serial protocol works. New chafon.py (read-only:
inventory + read EPC, CRC-16/0x8408 framing) scans the field and sees:
0000044A5600D4CDA1FAB932 -> sku=20260722180000 rel=424242 (Urovo-written)
E28069950000600625F600D3 -> factory/blank (x12, rest of roll)
126D5125FFA000067932EC01 -> factory/blank (earlier EC01 tag, now rejected)
That last line is the bug demonstrated: a tag written earlier today under the old
scheme is unrecognised, exactly as the extension would have treated it.

ASSESSMENT.md §7 assumed the RFID encode was locked inside the Windows-only
GTSPL_SDK.dll and would need a USBPcap sniff or the GTSPL Java jar to recover.
It didn't. The DLL is a managed .NET assembly, and its IL shows every RFID call
is a one-line String.Concat -> ASCII -> WritePrinter. Recovered from ldstr order
plus argument order, and confirmed by a second independent decompile:
UHF WRITE H,2,12,E,"<24 hex>" UHF READ/QUERY ...
UHF GEN2 EPC|TID|USER|ACCESS|KILL <action>,"<pw>"
SET RFID <tagType>,<rw_pos>,<void>,<try>,<err>,<speed>,<retry> (dots, not mm)
&DEFAULT,i &CALIBRATE,A,R PRINT <set>, <copy>
So the whole recipe is plain ASCII over the printer's bulk endpoint and ports to
macOS with no vendor binaries at all.
- mac/urovo.py USB transport + full GTSPL command set, status decoding, the
ribbon-latch recovery, SKU<->EPC packing ported from daemon.cs.
- mac/label.py PIL bitmap renderer -> TSPL BITMAP. Media-profile driven, so both
shop stocks work (small 51x19 and large 55x24 on the 24mm web),
with a safe-area inset so the design can't clip at the edges.
- mac/daemon.py :7790 HTTP service, same routes/JSON/CORS as daemon.cs, plus a
/preview route that renders a label as PNG without printing one.
Verified on the bench from macOS: printer identifies (MODEL:UROVO-D812R), the
latched 0x08 "out of ribbon" clears with SET RIBBON OFF + FORMFEED, and labels
print correctly oriented and dark on the 24x55 stock.
NOT yet verified: the RFID encode itself. It is wired and the printer accepts the
command, but the loaded thermal stock has no inlays so nothing has been written to
a chip. Needs a PET RFID label at the antenna. The SKU<->EPC byte layout also
remains unconfirmed against existing Chafon-written tags.

- pricegod-urovo-daemon: C# :7790 HTTP service, drives the Urovo D812R+ via
the GTSPL SDK; prints a label AND encodes the UHF chip in one pass. Drop-in
for the PriceGod extension's daemon.js (same :7790, CORS *).
- chafcheck: Chafon H-102 UHFPrimeReader P/Invoke probe.
- ASSESSMENT.md: everything done + learned this session -- the ribbon-latch
fix, PET-labels-are-not-direct-thermal finding, unreliable-status-byte
quirk, SKU->EPC scheme, the Chafon HID-mode dead end, and how to port the
print+encode recipe to the Mac (GTSPL Java SDK / raw TSPL).
