Release Notes

Every bill edit is logged with actor, timestamp, and a before/after field diff. A history drawer accessible from any ledger row shows the complete edit chain: who changed what, the original value, and when. Audit records written via auditLog() before every write completes — immutable, append-only.

Opening the edit modal on an existing invoice now pre-fills all line items: service name, quantity, unit price, discount %, and GST. A per-item "effective price" badge shows the net payable after discount and tax — no more mental arithmetic at the billing counter. Discount badges render inline in the ledger view.

After a ledger edit, the UI refreshes silently in the background — the modal closes first, then data reloads without a full page refresh. Ledger now displays actual service names (not IDs) from the service catalog. A duplicate bill guard prevents the same appointment from generating two invoice rows.

Split payment mode lets receptionists record a single bill across multiple payment methods (cash + UPI, card + advance adjustment). Staff role can now initiate approval requests — previously limited to finance managers. Auth headers on useApprovals hook resolved a silent 401 bug affecting all staff.

New pharmacy_catalog_changes table: every drug addition, price change, or catalog edit is written here first as status=pending. No mutation reaches pharmacy_catalog directly without approval. Migration is additive — existing catalog rows are unaffected.

POST /api/pharmacy/approvals/catalog: admin or owner reviews pending catalog changes and approves or rejects with optional reason. On approval, the change is applied to pharmacy_catalog atomically. All transitions logged via auditLog() with PHARMACY_CATALOG_APPROVED / PHARMACY_CATALOG_REJECTED action constants.

PharmacyApprovalsTab surfaces pending catalog changes in a queue view — drug name, proposed change, proposed by, and time pending. Approve/reject controls inline. Badge count on the tab shows pending items. Admin and owner roles see the approvals tab; pharmacist role sees a "pending review" status on staged items.

Dashboard now surfaces a consolidated pending collections count — bills in pending/partial state across both the main billing module and the pharmacy OTC counter. Finance managers and admins see a single number at the top of the Finance tab.

Pharmacy OTC billing now correctly shows the staff discount and advance credit deduction for all staff roles — previously only rendered for finance managers. accessToken prop threading fixed so PaymentPanel receives auth context and correctly identifies the staff role for discount eligibility.
