What we understood
The quantity box on the add-item sheet takes a minus number, so a line can be saved with a quantity below one. When the quote is priced, that line comes out as a minus amount and the total is lower than the materials actually cost — the yard would be paying the customer.

What has to be true when it is done

• Typing a quantity below one on the add-item sheet does not add the line, and says what is needed instead
• A quote line with a quantity below one is refused when the price is worked out, so no total can come out below zero
• Ordinary quantities, including part units such as seven and a half feet, price exactly as they do today

What we are not doing this time

• Quotes that have already been sent to a customer are not changed

Your own words
“A quote can be saved with a negative quantity”

What the platform did

A member of the Gable community described this problem and approved the plan above.
They did not run git: an agent produced a patch, this platform checked it against that
plan and applied it, and the commit below is the result.

• Contribution: cmtn7khwaa397d4e71b8c3342
• Branch: contrib/cmtn7khwaa397d4e71b8c3342
• Commit: cf99c3ffa537a79dc1ba5abd134299e833185ae6
• Approved plan: 788dcc1cb7a1eecd87bbe80bd2845f316e79fb95fab62efa0de829964ca5fef3
• Patch: 67e78fe5777723d863d1d6698610c1c83c0b6f2d0506a95e8a6303b82f9f286b

This is a draft. It is open so that CI runs on the branch at all — the workflow
triggers on pull requests and not on contrib/* pushes — and not because anything is
ready for review. Nothing here has been tested yet; the checks on this pull request are
what will say.

The agent's own account of the change, which is prose and establishes nothing:

Refuse a quantity below one, at the box and in the pricing

Reviewed and approved through the member pipeline.

• Member (Jane Dibbits) approved the plan, then approved this change running in a sandbox copy at the commit on this branch. Both approvals are recorded with a hash of the exact text she read.
• Operator review recorded against the diff.
• Suite green locally at this head with CI's own command (npm run test:coverage): 43 files, 633 passed.

CI is red for server/__tests__/dev-middleware.test.ts (ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5173). That failure is pre-existing and not from this branch — verified by running main's own tree through CI on today's runner (PR #9, now closed), which fails identically. Main's last green run was 31 August, before the runner moved to Node 24 by default.

The one CI failure this branch did introduce — a biome check formatting error in the new test file — is fixed in 74cc802.
