Allows item-authorized mobile users to create canonical products and optional opening stock. Barcode checks include hidden and alternate matches; stable request identity prevents repeated initial balances. A signed catalogue refresh makes the new item eligible for sale. Receipts download the shop design and safe embedded logo, while till print jobs carry the desktop layout and settled payment state.

Validation: 20 inventory integration cases, 8 product cases and all 28 mobile POS integration cases pass, including the 5 full-app browser cases with the real web bundle. Mobile separately passes 131 unit and 69 browser tests. New HTTP flow verifies create -> fresh catalogue -> sale -> retry -> designed print job. No production records changed.

Sync: items/stocklogs remain on existing branch lanes, receipt settings on branches. Matching Gateway/agent changes rotate photo pages and transfer branch logos. Drafts and executable print/payment journals remain local. Deploy API/Gateway/agent before testing Mobile beta.30. Details and limitations: docs/mobile-product-capture-receipts.md.

Merged to develop. Anyone can test this - you do not need write access.

Try it at https://develop.posnic.io, or run it yourself:

git fetch origin develop && git checkout develop
npm install && npm --prefix api install
npm run dev   # then http://localhost:3000

When you have tested it, say what you did and what happened, and set
QA passed or QA failed. If you cannot set labels, just comment -
a maintainer will.

Reporting that something is broken is as useful as fixing it. It is
better found here than by a shopkeeper.
