Changelog

This changelog tracks notable product, reporting, CRUD, UI-contract, and documentation changes for Ovion Vendventory. Release 1.0.0 is the first packaged baseline, so the latest entries document the stabilization and documentation sign-off used for that ship date.

Use this page before release or review: compare the latest changes against your environment, especially if you are validating dashboard behavior, permissions, POS escalation flow, reporting, and the packaged documentation set.

Release 1.0.0 highlights

2026-04-09 Release 1.0.0 stabilization and documentation sign-off

Restored the seeded Employee role's dashboard access so post-install navigation matches the shipped permission matrix.
Locked the drawer-review workflow around the intended escalation path, including no self-recount loop and admin handling for unassigned escalations.
Finished theme parity across login, admin topbar, and batch dossier pages so dark mode is consistent on the packaged UI surface.
Aligned the packaged documentation, README, and release checklist to the 1.0.0 buyer build.
Verified the Laravel suite on the release branch with php artisan test passing at 326 tests.

2026-04-03 Shared tax-rate module and transaction integration

Added a dedicated Tax Rates module for reusable flat and percentage tax rules with active, default, scope, and sort-order behavior.
Linked tax rates to both POS sales and purchases through tax_rate_id, tax_type, and tax_value persistence.
Updated the POS terminal so cashiers can select a shared tax rule or fall back to manual tax entry without changing the shared catalog.
Updated Purchases so receivers can apply a shared purchase tax rule, while invoice HTML and PDF now show tax rule, tax value, and tax amount.
Added focused test coverage for tax-rate CRUD flow, POS checkout tax persistence, and purchase tax metadata behavior.
Synchronized the documentation so the Overview, End-to-End App Flow, POS Suite, Purchases, and the new Tax Rates page all explain the shared tax workflow consistently.

2026-04-01 Documentation rewrite for the current product surface

Rewrote the main Overview page so the docs describe Vendventory as a batch-controlled inventory governance platform instead of only a general inventory system.
Rewrote the Dashboard page to match the current Inventory Governance Cockpit implementation.
Rewrote the Reports page to document the current intelligence and governance suite, including the new operational workspaces.
Rewrote the Products, Suppliers, Purchases, Stock Outs, Stock Adjustments, and Users and Profile pages to match the live CRUD and transaction forms.
Added dedicated documentation pages for the POS suite, the reviewer demo flow, and supplier portal plus integration storytelling.
Aligned the documentation language with the current shared UI contract, report-shell behavior, and governance-first workflow model.

2026-04-01 CRUD completion and reviewer seeding pass

Finished category governance defaults and unit precision plus conversion CRUD exposure.
Finished governed purchase receiving with location visibility, notes, quarantine, labels, and evidence attachments across create, edit, list, invoice HTML, and invoice PDF.
Added settings coverage for Inventory Operations defaults and modernized the settings surface through the shared admin contract.
Extended deterministic reviewer data with branch-aware POS seed records, including stores, terminal, customer, coupon, loyalty rule, completed sale, replenishment request, and branch transfer request.

2026-04-01 Dashboard governance pass

Repositioned the dashboard as an Inventory Governance Cockpit.
Expanded the KPI strip and hero narrative to reflect released stock, quarantined value, recall exposure, and governance backlog.
Updated dashboard charts, queue panels, workspace cards, recent activity, launchpad, export output, and copilot context to match the new governance story.
Kept the dashboard inside the existing opsx design system rather than mixing in report-form patterns unnecessarily.

2026-04-01 Report-suite cleanup and expansion

Documented and stabilized the expanded suite: Intelligence Hub, Action Center, Replenishment Planner, Supplier Scorecards, Scheduled Briefs, Recall Center, Quality Release Queue, Expiry Rescue Board, Compliance Vault, and the operations-control workspaces.
Removed the oversized middle-page report navigation and left sidebar navigation as the primary report navigation model.
Standardized premium report pages around the shared loader block, shared filter behavior, shared select and date controls, and SweetAlert plus toastr feedback.
Corrected report-routing issues such as Batch Dossier links and related workspace routing fallbacks.

2026-04-01 CRUD modernization for governance-aligned workflows

Modernized the admin user create and edit forms with shared selects, shared date controls, shared file uploads, governance eligibility flags, warehouse assignment, approval authority, and digital-signature support.
Modernized stock adjustments into a warehouse-aware, bin-aware, batch-aware, deviation-linked, approval-threshold-aware correction workflow.
Clarified the practical role of Products, Suppliers, Purchases, and Stock Outs inside the broader governance model and aligned their documentation to the live forms.

2026-04-01 Shared UI-contract hardening

Normalized report and operations filters around the shared filter form pattern.
Aligned report forms with the shared premium CSS instead of one-off create-page helper classes.
Corrected shared select behavior, checkbox markup, file-input usage, and report-shell consistency.
Standardized report actions around confirmation dialogs and toast feedback.

Build-up entries included in 1.0.0

2026-03-29 Product archive lifecycle and historical-report alignment

Replaced destructive product deletion with an archive-aware lifecycle.
Normal delete now hard deletes only unused products and archives products with purchase, stock-out, adjustment, or movement history.
Added archived product restore and archive-only force delete handling.
Updated purchase, stock-out, stock-adjustment, product history, dashboard, and report surfaces so archived products stay visible historically while remaining excluded from new operational selectors.

2026-03-28 Module completion, seeding hardening, and documentation sync

Completed stock-out and stock-adjustment workflows with aligned create, edit, delete, and posting behavior.
Added the Users and Profile module with admin staff management, self-service profile and security, password-request approval, avatar handling, and session controls.
Split seeding into essential, installer-required, installer-demo, optional demo, and explicit development paths.
Added release-readiness documentation such as clean-install smoke, buyer ZIP audit, and manual QA checklist.

2026-03-27 Documentation and brand-alignment refresh

Standardized the application identity to Vendventory across defaults, installer labels, and documents.
Updated configuration fallbacks for app name, short name, mail sender, and TOTP issuer.
Added and expanded missing documentation pages for configuration, suppliers, FAQ, and changelog coverage.
