Digital Job Cards

Job cards, tasks, labour, parts, pause/resume, and review states replace the paper card.

The job card becomes a working surface, not a clipboard. Technicians see assigned or claimable work, record labour, fit parts, pause for real reasons, and send work forward for review while the advisor sees the state change.
