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.

Migrated InvoicesController, QuotesController, JobsController, BillsController,
PurchaseOrdersController, and CustomersController to route all data access
through IUnitOfWork typed/generic repositories instead of injecting
ApplicationDbContext directly.
New typed repositories added: IJobRepository (GetScheduledJobsForDateAsync,
GetActiveJobsForMobileAsync, LoadForCostingAsync), INotificationLogRepository
(GetLatestForJobAsync, GetAllForJobAsync), IQuoteRepository (GetItemsWithCoatsAsync
with CatalogItem eager load + AsNoTracking), and IJobRepository.GetOrphanedConversionJobAsync.
All EF complex include chains relocated into repository methods; controllers now
call named query methods rather than composing raw IQueryable chains.

Email delivery failures and PDF generation errors now show a permanent
warning/error toast that requires manual dismissal, so users cannot
accidentally miss critical action-blocking feedback.
- ToastHelper: WarningPermanent TempData key + Warning/WarningPermanent
extension methods on both ITempDataDictionary and Controller
- SetNotificationResultToast: NotificationStatus.Failed now uses
ToastWarningPermanent (previously auto-dismissed in 5 s)
- InvoicesController.Send: TempData["Warning"] → TempData["WarningPermanent"]
when PDF generation or email dispatch fails
- InvoicesController.DownloadPdf: TempData["Error"] → TempData["ErrorPermanent"]
with the actual exception message so root cause is visible
- _Layout.cshtml: WarningPermanent hidden div
- toast-notifications.js: WarningPermanent handler (timeOut: 0)

- PasskeyController: set LastLoginDate on passkey sign-in so Company Health
and audit pages show accurate last-login times (was always showing 'Never')
- Jobs/Index status modal: disable 'Notify customer' email toggle and show
warning when customer has notifications turned off; CustomerNotifyByEmail
added to JobListDto + JobProfile mapping + data-customer-notify attribute
- Quotes/Create: disable 'Send quote via email' checkbox with 'Notifications
off' badge when selected customer has email opt-out; ViewBag.CustomerEmailOptOutIds
added alongside existing CustomerTaxExemptIds pattern
- Quotes/Create: Quick Quote / Full Quote segmented toggle at top of form;
hides non-essential fields (dates, notes, tags, oven, discount, photos) in
Quick mode; selection persisted in localStorage
- InvoicesController Send action: improved error logging and user-facing
warning when PDF generation or email dispatch fails after status is saved
- item-wizard.js: guard item restoration with try/catch; ensure writeHiddenFields
always runs on form submit via capture-phase listener
- Help docs and AI knowledge base updated for all new features
