Subscription expiry (SubscriptionExpiryBackgroundService):
- Trials with no grace period now go directly Active -> Expired instead
of briefly entering GracePeriod for a day, which was causing repeated
'Grace Period Started' admin notification emails
- Remove redundant isTrial variable (query already filters to non-Stripe
companies, so all processed companies are trials by definition)
- Save per-company inside the loop so a single SaveChangesAsync failure
no longer discards all other companies' status changes and notification
log entries (which was the other cause of repeated emails)
HTML entities in page titles (33 views):
- Replace – / — with plain ' - ' in ViewData["Title"] C#
strings; Razor HTML-encodes these when rendering @ViewData["Title"],
causing browsers to display the literal text '–' instead of a dash

Replace all corruption variants with HTML entities across 226 view files:
- 3-char UTF-8-as-Win1252 sequences (ae-corruption)
- Standalone smart/curly quotes that break C# Razor expressions
- Partially re-corrupted variants where the 3rd byte was normalised to ASCII
tools/Fix-Encoding.ps1: re-runnable sweep; uses [char] code points so the
script itself never contains a literal non-ASCII character; supports -DryRun
.githooks/pre-commit: blocks commits containing the ae-corruption byte
signature (xc3xa2xe2x82xac); git core.hooksPath = .githooks so the
hook is repo-committed and active for all future work on this machine.
Build clean; 225 unit tests pass.

The HTML entity sweep script had a bug where it wrote empty files for any
view that contained no target Unicode characters, zeroing out 215 view files.
All views restored from the pre-sweep commit (cefdf3e).
Bulk gift certificate feature:
- BulkCreateGiftCertificateDto with Quantity (1-500), Amount, Reason, Expiry, Notes
- GenerateBulkGiftCertificatePdfAsync on IPdfService / PdfService: one Letter page
per cert, reusing the same purple/gold branded ComposeGiftCertificateContent helper
- GiftCertificatesController: BulkCreate GET/POST, BulkResult GET, BulkDownloadPdf POST
- Views: BulkCreate.cshtml (form with live total preview), BulkResult.cshtml (table +
Download All PDF button that POSTs cert IDs to avoid URL length limits)
- gift-certificate-bulk.js: live preview + spinner/disable on submit
- Index.cshtml: Bulk Create button added alongside New Certificate

Sweeps em dashes, en dashes, multiplication signs, ellipses, and curly quotes
to their HTML entity equivalents (— – × … ‘ ’)
in all .cshtml files, skipping <script> blocks. Prevents encoding corruption
from AI tools and Windows encoding mismatches that caused recurring symbol bugs.

Setup Wizard: reduced from 10 steps to 5 (Company Info → QB Migration →
Pricing Defaults → Named Ovens → Notifications). Removed Doc Numbering,
Job Settings, Payment Terms, Pricing Tiers, and Team Members steps — these
all have sensible defaults and are accessible any time in Company Settings.
Wizard now completes in ~5 minutes instead of 15–20.
Dashboard progress widget (new): "Get the most out of your shop" checklist
appears for Company Admins after wizard completion. Tracks six post-setup
activation tasks with dynamic progress badge, motivating subtitle copy,
collapsed-state persistence via localStorage, and a full completion state
("Your shop is fully set up 🎉") that replaces the checklist at 100%.
The next recommended step is highlighted with a solid CTA button and a
subtle blue row tint. Completed steps show encouraging green subtext instead
of just "Done". Widget disappears from controller when AllDone would have
caused a silent vanish — now renders the completion state instead.
Guided activation (Daily Board): rewrote the BoardIntroStep callout to lead
with "This is your shop in real time" and a plain-English description of the
board's purpose. Added a separate InstructionText field to
GuidedActivationCalloutViewModel so the "Move this job to the next stage"
action prompt renders as a distinct bold line with an arrow icon rather than
being buried in the body copy. After the stage change, the confirmation
callout now reads "Nice — your workflow just updated" to reinforce what just
happened before prompting the invoice step.
All copy passes the "shop owner, not SaaS" test: no technical jargon,
benefit-driven descriptions, natural language throughout.
