Command Center Overhaul & Admin Security
This release brings a significant upgrade to the Water Command Center interface, a hardened admin authentication system, and several reliability improvements based on operator feedback.
- Rebuilt Water Command Center dashboard with improved layout and faster data rendering for large water systems.
- New admin authentication: admin code is now securely version-controlled to prevent stale credentials on device upgrades or app reinstalls.
- Admin code migration automatically resets to the correct credential on first launch — eliminating "wrong code" issues after updates.
- Improved navigation flow between Water Command Center sections for faster operator workflows.
- Performance improvements across all dashboard views, especially on older iPhone hardware.
- Fixed: iPhone physical devices now correctly sync admin credentials that were previously only working in the iOS Simulator.
⚠️ Update note: If you previously had trouble with your admin code on a physical iPhone, this update resolves the issue. After updating, launch the app once and your credentials will be automatically migrated. No manual action needed.

- Configurable parameter alerts — set thresholds for any water quality value and receive in-app notifications when readings go out of range.
- Chemical treatment records now auto-generate a monthly summary report in PDF-ready format.
- Added chlorine decay calculator tool to help operators estimate residuals at distant points in the distribution system.
- Turbidity trending graph now shows a 30-day rolling view for source water monitoring.
