v0.8.3 — Release notes

Operator terminal: real-unit time and time-tracking fixes

A maintenance release for the operator terminal. Time now reads in plain units (1h 20m, not a mislabelled 90h), the detail panel adds time booked versus budget and who worked on the job, Complete no longer makes you stop the clock first, and several time-tracking and UI bugs are fixed.

Fixed

Time reads in real units everywhere

Operation time is stored in minutes, but the terminal was labelling it with an h — so a 90-minute weld read 90h. Every time display in the operator views now uses one shared formatter: 45m, 1h 20m, 2h. No more minutes dressed up as hours.

Fixed

Yellow Card standstill flow restored

Reporting an issue now asks whether the work is at a standstill. Saying yes parks the operation under a Yellow Card so the floor sees it is interrupted, and the card clears automatically when the issue is resolved. Parked operations stay visible at the cell instead of dropping out of the queue.

Changed

Bullet and Yellow cards are formatting, not pills

The priority Bullet Card (red) and the Yellow Card (amber, on hold) now show as row styling and sorting rather than extra chips, and the redundant status and operation-type pills are gone from the queue and detail panel.

Added

Booked vs budget, and who worked on it

The detail panel now shows time booked so far against the operation's budget, with an over/under chip and a progress bar, plus the operators who put time on the job and a live dot for anyone running right now. It guides the team leader; it never blocks the operator.

Added

Step-by-step checklist while you work

When you are clocked on, the operation's sub-steps surface as a checklist in the Steps tab instead of hiding inside the routing list — so you can tick through the work in order.

Changed

Complete without stopping the clock first

Completing an operation while still clocked on used to be blocked — you had to Pause, then Complete. Now Complete stops your own timer and finishes in one tap (the button reads Stop & complete). It only holds back if another operator is still clocked on, or the next cell is at capacity.

Fixed

Operator time tracking corrected

Three bugs in the time chain: duplicate clock-entries from race conditions were stored in seconds instead of minutes (a 60x inflation) and their time was never added to the operation's actual total; and the live booked figure ignored pauses, so it dropped the moment you clocked off. All three are fixed.

Changed

A calmer operator panel

Removed duplicate pills that repeated the operation name and a work-readiness state that was the same on every row. The panel keeps the signals that matter — status and the Bullet Card — and the instruction note now sits under a clear Instruction label.

Changed

Drop-off location prompt on by default

The placement flow — asking where parts were put down and pointing to the next cell — shipped switched off, so most shops never saw it. It is now on by default and still switchable per workshop in Organization Settings.

Fixed

Selection checkboxes are visible again

Row-selection checkboxes in the Operations workspace were drawn with an almost-invisible border on the dark theme. They now have a clear box in both light and dark.

v0.8.3 is a maintenance release for the operator terminal — fixes and small panel improvements, no new module. The main one is honesty about time: operation estimates and booked time are kept in minutes, and the terminal was rendering them with an h suffix — so a 90-minute job read “90h”. Every operator-facing time display now runs through one shared formatter and reads in plain units: 45m, 1h 20m, 2h.

On top of that, the detail panel gained the numbers a team leader actually asks for — time booked versus budget, an over/under indicator, and who worked on the job — and the workflow got out of its own way: Complete now stops your timer and finishes in one step instead of refusing until you Pause.

Underneath, three time-tracking bugs are fixed (duplicate entries stored in the wrong unit and never totalled; live booked time ignoring pauses), the drop-off location prompt is on by default, and the selection checkboxes in the Operations workspace are visible again.
