VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.2.3 (February 24, 2026)

NEW

- Added auto-generation fallbacks for missing dependencies. When generating Tickets or Expenses, the system will now automatically spin up default Departments, Customers, and Contacts behind the scenes if none exist, preventing blockers on a fresh installation. (February 24, 2026)

CHANGED

- Improved error handling in DataGenerator. Core generation methods (Tickets, Expenses, Estimate Requests) now catch fatal `\Throwable` errors to display explicit red UI alerts instead of failing silently with "0 tickets generated successfully". (February 24, 2026)

FIXED

- Fixed silent MySQL error when generating Expenses due to invalid column `name` (changed to `expense_name`). (February 24, 2026)
- Fixed silent MySQL error when generating Estimate Requests due to attempting insertion into non-existent table `tblestimate_request_form`. Form fields are now properly JSON serialized into the `submission` column of `tblestimate_requests`. (February 24, 2026)
- Explicitly loaded `clients_model` and `projects_model` in DataGenerator to prevent internal dependency crash hooks from failing. (February 24, 2026)
