💡 Smart Photo Deduplication

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.

💻 Implementation: Use image_hash package + Supabase Storage webhook to calculate perceptual hashes on upload

💡 Offline-First Report Drafting

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.

💻 Implementation: Add Hive boxes for drafts, trigger Supabase sync via flutter_connectivity + background_fetch

💡 Photo Metadata Auto-Tagging

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.

💻 Implementation: Extract with image_picker + exif package, store in Supabase as jsonb column for fast querying
