+  - phase: 04-driver-management
+    provides: upload_driver handler, DriverStore, Driver model
+provides:
+  - HTMX OOB swap: POST /drivers/upload emits driver_list + printer-form-driver-select refresh
+  - Inline driver upload form inside printer form (sibling, not nested)
+  - Stable id="printer-form-driver-select" on driver <select> for OOB targeting
+  - caller=printer_form sentinel-based OOB branching in upload handler
+  - 4 new integration tests (500 regression x2 + OOB contract x2) + 1 printer form test
+affects:
+  - 09-02-playwright-port-autofill (depends on final printer_form.html shape)
+  - 10-rtval (runtime validation uses driver upload flow)

+# Phase 09 Plan 01: Driver Upload Fix and Inline OOB Summary
+
+**HTMX OOB driver-select refresh on upload: POST /drivers/upload now emits hx-swap-oob select when caller=printer_form, with printer form wired as sibling inline upload form**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** ~5 min
+- **Started:** 2026-04-13T08:46:30Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-04-13T08:51:30Z
+- **Tasks:** 3 (TDD: 2 TDD tasks + 1 template wiring task)
+- **Files modified:** 5
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- Fixed `POST /drivers/upload` caller-awareness: handler now accepts `caller: str = Form("")` parameter and branches on `caller == "printer_form"` to emit OOB-enabled response
+- Created `driver_upload_with_oob.html` template: primary `#driver-list` fragment + sibling `<select hx-swap-oob="true" id="printer-form-driver-select">` with new driver auto-selected
+- Wired inline driver upload form in `printer_form.html`: sibling `<form hx-post="/drivers/upload">` with `caller=printer_form` sentinel, outside the printer `<form>` to comply with HTML spec
+- Added stable `id="printer-form-driver-select"` to driver `<select>` for OOB targeting
+- Delivered 5 new tests: 2 parametrized 500 regression variants, 2 OOB contract tests, 1 printer form wiring test
+
+## Task Commits
+
+1. **Task 1: Write failing driver-upload regression + OOB contract tests** - `d1de839` (test)
+2. **Task 2: Fix handler + add OOB template** - `10ee09a` (fix)
+3. **Task 3: Wire inline upload form into printer_form.html** - `72c6a98` (feat)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `imptune/api/drivers.py` - Added Form import, caller parameter, new_driver capture, OOB branch
+- `imptune/templates/partials/driver_upload_with_oob.html` - New template: primary fragment include + OOB select
+- `imptune/templates/partials/printer_form.html` - Stable select id, sibling upload form, hidden driver-list anchor
+- `tests/test_driver_upload.py` - 4 new tests: 500 regression (x2 parametrized), OOB contract, no-OOB-on-standalone
+- `tests/test_printer_form.py` - New file: test_printer_form_has_inline_driver_upload
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- Sentinel field `caller=printer_form` chosen over `HX-Target` header — simpler, more explicit, testable without HTTP header manipulation in tests
+- OOB template uses `{% include "partials/driver_list.html" %}` to avoid duplication; OOB select appended as sibling after the include
+- Hidden `<div id="driver-list" style="display:none">` added to printer form to provide HTMX outerHTML swap target — keeps driver list hidden on printer form but enables HTMX to find the target
+- Upload form placed AFTER `</form>` of the printer form but inside the Alpine `x-data` div — avoids invalid HTML nested forms while preserving Alpine scope
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] test_upload_500_regression passed without a real 500 repro**
+
+- **Found during:** Task 1 (writing RED tests)
+- **Issue:** The synthetic ZIP fixture doesn't reproduce the 500 that was reported. Both parametrized variants (plain UTF-8 and BOM/UTF-16 LE) returned 200. The handler was already robust enough for these cases.
+- **Fix:** Kept both variants as documented regression guards. The 500 was pre-surfaced as a concern from Phase 8 kickoff; adding regression coverage is still correct even if the synthetic fixture doesn't repro it. The OOB tests were RED (the actual broken behavior).
+- **Files modified:** tests/test_driver_upload.py (kept parametrized variants)
+- **Verification:** 2 OOB tests went RED as expected; 500 variants green (correct behavior)
+- **Committed in:** d1de839 (Task 1 test commit)
+
+---
+
+**Total deviations:** 1 auto-handled (plan expected 500 to repro; it didn't — OOB tests were the actual failures driving the fix)
+**Impact on plan:** No scope change. Both the regression guard and OOB fix were delivered. Handler correctly returns 200 for tested fixtures.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+- Python bytes concatenation error in initial test code (`b"\xff\xfe" + str` instead of `b"\xff\xfe" + str.encode()`). Fixed inline before committing.
+- File was overwritten by linter between edits; used `cat >>` bash append to reliably add new test functions to the file.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- `printer_form.html` is in its final shape for 09-02 (Playwright test can assert Alpine port autofill against this version)
+- OOB driver upload flow is fully wired and test-covered
+- Full non-e2e suite: 112 passed, 0 failures
