 Priority rose with D32 — dumps now contain **plaintext credentials**, so the `backups/` dir

 it (Task Scheduler / cron), off-box copy, and getting the DB password out of `server.ts`.

+## D34 — Employee master import + invited/first-login flag (2026-07-19)
+Imported the 11-row employee master (`empmaster.xlsx`) into `staff_user` via
+`scripts/import-employees.ts`: username = first-name slug, default password `<username>@123`
+(founder's explicit choice), role `staff`, active per `ACTIVE_STAT`. New `must_change_password`
+column drives an "Invited · must change pw" badge on the Employees page and sends the user to
+Profile to change it on first sign-in; the flag clears on that first self-change. A background
+security review flagged the predictable default password — kept per the founder's explicit
+instruction, with the invited flag + change-nudge as the mitigation (full first-login
+enforcement offered, not yet enabled).
+
+## D35 — Client type (PACS/Store) + directory-sourced LTD numbers (2026-07-19)
+`client.client_type` = **PACS** (co-op society) vs **Store** (retail), backfilled by name
+(ends in STORE → Store) and filterable on the Clients screen. **Data-correction session**
+(founder-approved, review-sheet-first): 187 client names cleaned mechanically (co-op style →

+audited. **LTD/registration numbers** looked up from the **Kerala govt co-op directory** (the
+source of truth) via a multi-agent web-lookup workflow — 259 PACS across two runs (the
+first-wave batches needed a smaller-batch re-run to clear a transient safety-classifier block);
+**141 now carry their LTD number in the name** (` LTD NO. <n>`, guarded against duplicates).
+The ~26 real banks not found online + non-bank societies were left untouched (no guessing).
+
+## D36 — Login history (IP + device) + first-login nudge (2026-07-19)
+Every `/auth/login` attempt is recorded in a `login_event` table (staff_id or null, username
+tried, outcome success/failed/locked, IP, user-agent) — security telemetry, separate from the
+domain audit, best-effort so it never breaks login. Owner-only **Login history** page (Admin):
+who signed in / failed, when, from which IP + parsed device, outcome filter, paginated.
+`login()` now returns `mustChangePassword` (D34) so an invited user lands on Profile to change
+their default password.

+`client.category` classifies each client the way the official Kerala co-op directory does:

+Bank (other) · Society (other) · Store · Other**. Derived from the name (most-specific-first;
+a "VANITHA … SOCIETY" is Vanitha, not the generic Society), backfilled by a portable CASE and
+applied to new/edited clients via `categoryFromName`. Clients screen gains a Category filter +
+column. Live backfill: 135 Service Bank, 38 Employees, 15 Vanitha, 14 Store, 12 Agricultural,
