Since #849 the parts list has a row for every contact block (slave) and
terminal-type element. Users who draw the dots and bends where wires
branch as terminal-type symbols (114_connections) get one empty row per
junction: 109 of 151 rows on one reported cabinet.
Two options, both off by default so existing exports are unchanged:
- leave out the contact blocks: --no-slaves, "no_slaves" in qet_export,
or uncheck the new "Contacts esclaves" element type in the dialog;
- leave out the junctions: terminal-type elements with no label,
designation, manufacturer or manufacturer reference. --no-junctions,
"no_junctions", or "Laisser de côté les jonctions" in the dialog.
A terminal block with a label or a part number stays.
The element type filter had no box for slaves, so every query it built
left them out: the export dialog never listed contact blocks, although
the command line has since #849. The dialog now checks the new box by
default and gives the same rows as --export-bom. The box is unchecked by
default elsewhere, so nomenclature tables keep their rows.
docs/smart-device-bom.md still said slaves and terminals were excluded;
corrected.

A slave and a terminal are both routinely separately orderable hardware. A
circuit breaker can carry ten or twenty auxiliary blocks, each with its own
order code, and a terminal block is a purchased part in its own right.
Neither was reaching the bill of materials.
Decided in discussion #847: @IBSYSLevi -- "I would not expect that a defined
piece of hardware is excluded from BOM when not specifically defined as so" --
with use cases from @jozi332 covering Siemens breakers with ten to twenty
auxiliary blocks and PLC cards carrying per-channel data.
Two filters had to change, which is easy to miss: BomExport::defaultQuery()
and, upstream of it, the WHERE clause of element_nomenclature_view itself.
Changing only the query does nothing for slaves, because the view had already
removed them. Terminals were already in the view, so they appeared as soon as
the query allowed them -- which made a half-finished change look like it had
worked.
Measured on examples/industrial.qet, which holds 96 terminals and 41 slaves:
258 rows before, 354 with terminals, 395 with both. A slave given a
manufacturer and part number now appears in the export; previously it could
not, at any setting.
Nothing that should stay out of a bill of materials is newly included. The
folio report arrows and the conductor definition are still excluded because
they are not hardware, and anything else -- a relay's own auxiliary contact,
which is not orderable separately -- is kept out with exclude_from_bom, which
the view already honours and which #721 and #765 made settable on the symbol
itself.
tst_smart_device is updated rather than weakened. @enesgursoy6110 wrote it in
#830 to prove the filter works, inserting rows designated "Must not be
exported"; the slave and terminal rows now carry real designations and are
asserted present, and a folio report arrow takes over as the negative case,
so the test still proves filtering happens -- at the boundary we now want.
