PAPiTA — Palo Alto Inventory Tracking Assistant

What it does

PAPiTA is a lightweight, browser-only tool for wrangling Palo Alto Networks firewall auth-code and inventory data. It ingests vendor PDFs and CSVs, normalizes the records into a single table, lets you claim serials against auth codes, and exports the results — all without a backend, an account, or a network round-trip.

Run it

Serve the directory with any static file server, for example:

python3 -m http.server 8765

Then open http://localhost:8765/.

Alternatively, deploy the directory as-is to GitHub Pages — no build step required.

Offline

PAPiTA works with zero network access after the first load. All dependencies are vendored under vendor/ and shipped with the repository.

Vendored Dependencies

Data privacy — READ THIS

Vendor PDFs and exported CSVs from PAPiTA contain sensitive customer and licensing data. Treat them accordingly:

• Never commit vendor PDFs to this repository.
• Never commit exported CSVs containing real customer data.
• The .gitignore excludes *.pdf, *.csv, and the CoWork/ scratch directory by default — but discipline matters more than tooling. Double-check git status before every commit.
