What & Why: Inspectors often snap multiple photos of the same defect from slightly different angles. Add a visual similarity check to flag potential duplicates before upload, reducing storage bloat and bandwidth on poor field connections.
What & Why: Allow inspectors to start, edit, and save report drafts completely offline using Hive local storage. Sync on reconnect with conflict resolution (show "local" vs "server" versions). Huge UX win for poor-signal job sites.
What & Why: Use device GPS, timestamp, and camera EXIF data to auto-tag submitted RFI/Submittal photos with location + time. Builders can filter by date ranges or site zones without manual entry.
