BUS Core Files

BUS Core 1.0.3 is a major hardening and polish release focused on making the app feel more coherent, more trustworthy, and more contract-aligned in daily use.

This is not a flashy feature drop. It is a serious quality pass across UI authority, write-flow parity, settings/update behavior, and release discipline.

Highlights

UI authority and consistency

centralized more of the UI styling system into canonical CSS

reduced visual/presentation drift across the app

standardized active surfaces across:

Settings

Contacts

Inventory

Manufacturing

Recipes

Finance

Logs

improved sidebar structure, branding, icon treatment, and system-status presentation

Write-flow parity fixes

audited active UI forms against backend/API truth

corrected important mismatches in:

Inventory

Contacts

Manufacturing

Recipes

tightened validation, payload shaping, conditional behavior, and error display

reduced cases where the UI could imply behavior the backend did not actually support

Settings and update-check cleanup

simplified update settings to a clearer automatic-check policy

moved version/update awareness into the sidebar

kept update-call internals intact while making behavior more visible and deliberate

fixed contradictory saved update settings

removed obsolete active ownership of close_to_tray

stubbed theme honestly to system-only until alternate styles are actually implemented

Cleanup and truth freeze

removed several dead legacy UI card modules

updated system truth/docs/changelog to reflect the actual architecture and authority state

tightened internal versioning and release flow discipline

Validation

manual validation across touched routes and flows

smoke test completed successfully

signed and verified Windows build artifact

release/build pipeline checks passed

Notes

This release is about making BUS Core feel like solid infrastructure instead of a pile of useful screens. Less drift, fewer silent mismatches, cleaner behavior, better confidence.
