Changelog

​

Mobile App (High IQ)

• Confirm Order trust-check UX — The Confirm Order screen now lets you tap any item’s strain name to edit it inline. On blur the app re-checks the name against the strain database and shows a green dot (matched) or red dot (unmatched), giving you clear confidence signals before saving. A new collapsible “Your Input” pane shows the original raw text so you can verify what the AI parsed against your source. #d0fae31
• Stash save gate — Only items with a confirmed strain match are added to your active stash. Unmatched items are saved to order history only. If all items are unmatched, the save is blocked until at least one item matches. This prevents silent data integrity issues in downstream features (Coach, Music, reports). #97259e7
• Add Order copy and dispensary onboarding — The Add Order screen now says “Add a Dispensary Order” with a subtitle explaining the value. Receipt input buttons are labelled “Paste or Type” and “Scan Receipt”. A new footer link deep-links into dispensary settings. #13025f6
