💡Improvements

• Transparent Payment Processing: Customers paying online now see the total amount including credit card fees before submitting payment. The system displays both the base amount and fee separately, eliminating surprise charges at checkout.
• Quick Cash Calculator: When cash is selected as payment method, a calculator icon appears. Enter the amount received and the system automatically computes change due with denomination breakdown—no more mental math at the counter.
• Customer Swapping Flexibility: Change the customer on an order as long as no billing or payment records exist. This makes it easy to fix mistakes or reassign orders before invoicing. The contact can be updated anytime.
• Streamlined Discounting: New Discount % field on Quick Sale screen automatically applies percentage discounts to invoices. Located right under the Tax-Exempt checkbox for easy access.
• Enhanced Dispatch Board: The Unassigned column now includes filters to show only on-rent or called-off orders. Order cards display status icons for called-off and picked-up items, helping dispatchers prioritize at a glance.
• Improved Customer & Maintenance Views: Customer names saved in lowercase are automatically capitalized throughout the system. Maintenance summary pages now include a customer card for complete context.
• Cleaner Maintenance History: Updated styling with colored status dots, clearer icons, and optional connector lines between maintenance events for better visual flow.
• Refined Slot Selection: Consistent fonts, centered cards with outlined borders, proper text wrapping, and improved spacing make slot selection more intuitive.
• Smart Archive Controls: The inventory archive button automatically disables when archiving isn't allowed, preventing confusion about why an action might fail.
• Easier Date Editing: Backspace through date fields to change just the year without re-entering the entire date—small improvement, big time saver.
• Better Quote Formatting: Quote emails now include proper spacing before currency symbols for improved readability.
• Polished Storefront Display: Price chips hide unnecessary ".00" for whole dollar amounts while preserving cents when needed. Loading skeletons are confined to item cards rather than covering filter controls.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Invoice Payment Accuracy: Fixed mismatches between invoice paid amounts and joined payments. Fully paid invoices no longer incorrectly show as "processing."
• Storefront Security & Availability: Resolved data leak in storefront availability API. Items with "soft" maintenance status (non-critical work) now correctly show as available for rent.
• Duplicate Customer Prevention: Creating online quotes no longer generates duplicate customer records when a matching customer already exists.
• Date Field Behavior: Corrected various date editing issues across order forms
• UI State Management: Fixed disabled states for archive buttons and alignment issues in slot card layouts
• Loading State Refinement: Full-page loading indicators no longer appear during filter updates on the storefront
