The sync propagation now also backfills the catalog link: any inventory item
with no PowderCatalogItemId that matches a catalog row by Manufacturer +
ManufacturerPartNumber (the catalog SKU) gets linked and picks up the catalog
price/product data. Only links on a confident match (exact SKU + matching
vendor, or a single unambiguous candidate), so it never mis-links.
This backfills items created before linking existed, automatically, on every
environment (dev and prod) with no manual step or one-off script — legacy items
link on the next sync, new items still link at create time. Cost basis,
quantity, notes, and image remain untouched.
Tests: links an unlinked item by manufacturer+part number; leaves it unlinked
when the part number has no catalog match. Full suite 278 green.
