// FEATURE.DEEP_DIVE
A real-time kanban command center for your shop. Drag orders between stages, customize every card, open floating detail windows, and automate column rules — all without leaving the board.
// KANBAN.PIPELINE
Every order flows through four stages — Estimate, Work Order, Invoice, Closed. Each column shows real-time counts and maps to the full status lifecycle underneath.
// DRAG_AND_DROP
Grab any card and drop it into the next column. The order automatically advances to the next stage with full validation — no forms, no menus, just drag.
// CARD.CUSTOMIZATION
Toggle 20+ data fields per card. Switch between standard and condensed modes. Show vehicle images, tags, labor hours, balance due — or strip it down to essentials. Settings persist per shop.
// ORDER.POPUP
Click any card to open a draggable, resizable detail window. Open multiple orders side-by-side. Minimize to a taskbar. Never lose context.
// COLUMN.AUTOMATION
Configure per-column automation rules. Archive paid orders automatically. Clean up stale orders after N days. The workboard manages itself.
