+# Organized record forms
+
+The record editor keeps existing input IDs, names, validation, permission controls and save handlers. Customer, supplier, category, user and new-branch editors use a centered 820px dialog on desktop and a full-width sheet on phones. Header and actions remain visible while scrolling. User access and branch setup have separate sections; all sections are revealed before validation so required inputs cannot be skipped. Category shapes are labelled buttons with actual shapes and pressed state.
+
+Sales preferences are grouped into Checkout, Product search, Receipts & sharing and Controls. The existing Core Settings save operation still owns their values. Hardware configuration remains in the app; independent recovery windows remain available through Electron. The floating Desktop menu is removed. Mobile devices retain `settings/devices`; desktop hardware uses `settings/hardware`, eliminating duplicate pane and navigation IDs.
+
+New customers, suppliers and branches start with the current shop's country, state and city. Edits keep the record's saved location. A manually changed country clears the state selection until the user chooses one; an older state-list response cannot overwrite a newer request. A missing shop state is left blank instead of guessing the first state. Branch creation and the legacy branch editor now persist the existing `branches.city` field; requests that omit city preserve the saved value.
+
+## Data and synchronization
+
+- No new collections, permission grants, print modes or payment writes are introduced.
+- `customers`, `suppliers` and `categories` retain their existing branch-scoped lanes in POS `api/src/sync/collections.json`, Gateway `apps/sync-gateway/src/collections.js` and agent `apps/sync-agent/sync-config.json`.
+- `branches.city` already belongs to the whole branch document. The three manifests already include `branches` as global within the licensed installation, with Gateway access filtering. No new transport or migration is needed. This change supplies the field during creation and legacy editing, without changing its replication.
+- Existing IDs, timestamps, conflict resolution, tombstones and uploaded-file paths are unchanged. New form grouping does not change serialization or upload handlers. User access and credentials retain their existing authority and are not newly replicated.
+- `city_setting` is a local cache of the active shop response, refreshed alongside country and state; the branch document remains authoritative. Draft forms stay local until the existing Save action is used.
+- Expected delivery is unchanged: a saved business record reaches cloud and authorized tills through its existing lane, including queued changes after reconnect. Live multi-device create/update/delete and reconnect delivery were not exercised in this change; matching manifests are not proof of delivery.
+
+## Release
+
+Ship the API city persistence change and frontend assets together. Electron menu organization needs the next desktop installer; the web form layout does not. Preserve independent recovery windows. Do not publish the desktop latest channel before the requested private installer test.
+
+Local verification includes actual-template DOM regression tests for control ownership and values, tab validation, state-selection races, existing phone/permission/settings tests, API branch creation, translation coverage, frontend build, and isolated Electron-rendered layout previews. These previews do not save live shop records.
