Reporting, categories, and duplication expand

Early reporting is already present, but this period makes it more useful for actual oversight work. Filters improve, more detail appears in the output, and reports become easier to use for planning and review.

That matters because inventory systems need to help with committee work and seasonal organization, not only with day-to-day item lookup.

Managed categories are an important step because they move setup data into the product instead of leaving it as a static assumption. Groups can shape inventory around their own structure more directly.

This is the kind of change that makes the app more maintainable over time, especially once inventories become larger and more varied.

Duplication support removes a lot of repetitive entry work when a group owns several near-identical items. Instead of starting from zero every time, people can copy the common details and only adjust what changes.

That is a simple idea, but it saves real time during setup and expansion.
