Version 0.54.0

Features

The serial-port listing of the Lager Box now says what each port is. Each cable record from GET /custom-devices/list gets five new fields: manufacturer, product, interface, by_id and by_path. A field is null when the Lager Box cannot read it. Every existing field keeps its name and value. by_id and by_path are the /dev/serial/... names, which stay the same when a replug renumbers the tty. interface tells apart the ports of one multi-port chip. lager nets assign --list shows the product and the durable path of each cable. The fields come from the Lager Box code, so run lager update on each box to get them.

lager install and lager uninstall left an old SSH key-sync poller running on the box. A poller from an earlier run kept rebuilding ~/.ssh/authorized_keys until the box rebooted. After a reinstall, the poller sometimes removed registered keys. The box now names the poller lager-ssh-sync, and each install stops every earlier poller. lager uninstall stops the poller in Step 1.
lager install and lager update sometimes left the box locked. The command released its box lock with one request after it restarted the box services. Sometimes that request arrived before the service answered, so the lock stayed in place for its full TTL. For an install, the TTL is one hour. The command now retries the release for up to 90 seconds. If the release still fails, the command prints the lager boxes unlock command that clears the lock.

Two identical adapters with no USB serial number share one by_id name. udev keeps one link for the shared name, so only one of the two cables reports by_id. Use by_path for a cable whose serial is null.
