Discount and Charge Item Calculation Improvements
Updated monetary calculation logic to handle taxes and discounts more accurately, reducing rounding errors.

Safeguards for Sensitive Financial Actions
Introduced confirmation dialogs and restricted access for destructive actions such as payment reconciliation and account deletion.

Inventory, Stock & Dispensing Operations

Inventory Interface Redesign
Redesigned inventory UI to improve stock visibility, readability, and usability when managing large medicine and consumable catalogs.

Stock Sorting and Supplier Navigation Fixes
Added quantity-based stock sorting and fixed supplier pagination issues, enabling more reliable stock review and procurement planning.

Dispensing Workflow Optimisation

Dispense-to-Invoice Automation
Enabled configuration for automatic charge item creation after dispensing, tightening the revenue capture loop and reducing manual billing steps.

Patient Identification, Search & Encounter Management

Patient ID Scanning Support
Introduced barcode and QR-based patient ID scanning to speed up patient lookup and reduce manual identification errors at the point of care.

Encounter Filtering Accuracy
Improved encounter list filtering logic to ensure patient filters, date filters, and status filters work correctly together.

Enhanced Treatment Summary Context
Added service requests to treatment summaries, giving clinicians a more complete view of patient care activities.

Clinical Forms, Questionnaires & Documentation

Questionnaire Validation and State Reliability
Improved questionnaire validation, submission handling, and state management within encounters to prevent inconsistent or partial clinical records.

Conditional Logic and Dynamic Form Fixes
Improved conditional rendering and autocomplete behavior in complex clinical forms, improving data integrity.

Questionnaire Version Tracking
Added version fields to cloned questionnaires to support safer iteration and auditability of clinical content.

Print Layout and Formatting Improvements
Improved layout and routing for printed questionnaires, clinical histories, and invoices to ensure clean outputs across devices.

Permissions, Access Control & Governance

Role-Based Permission Enforcement
Added explicit permission checks for resource category creation and other administrative actions to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.

Restricted Destructive Actions
Hidden or disabled destructive actions such as account deletion for non-privileged users, strengthening governance controls.

Fully removed Cypress infrastructure and consolidated all end-to-end testing on Playwright, simplifying the test stack.

Expanded Automated Test Coverage
Added Playwright tests covering facilities, users, encounters, questionnaires, devices, billing, tokens, and permissions.

Improved Test Stability and Reporting
Refined test execution, reporting accuracy, and cleanup of legacy test hooks to improve CI reliability.

Platform Stability, Performance & Maintainability

Improved Error Handling and Resilience
Enhanced error handling for plugins and integrations to prevent application crashes and surface clearer feedback.

Network and Query Behaviour Optimisation
Disabled unnecessary query retries to reduce noisy network traffic and make failures more predictable.
