## Business Domain
1. **FruitBank** = fruit & vegetable wholesaler. This is a **nopCommerce plugin** — Customer, Order, Product, GenericAttribute are nopCommerce entities.
2. **Shipping** = INBOUND delivery (supplier → warehouse). **Order** = OUTBOUND delivery (warehouse → customer). Never confuse the two directions.
3. **"Pallet"** (`XxxItemPallet`) = a **measurement record**, NOT a physical pallet. Always created for every item, even non-measurable ones.

## Measurement Logic
4. **IsMeasurable=false** → weights are 0.0, only `TrayQuantity` is recorded. A Pallet record is still created.
5. **NetWeight = GrossWeight − PalletWeight − (TrayQuantity × TareWeight)** — this formula is universal across ShippingItemPallet, OrderItemPallet, and StockTakingItemPallet.
6. **MeasuringStatus.Finnished** — intentional legacy typo with double-n. Do NOT fix the spelling.
7. **MeasuringStatus** progression: NotStarted(0) → Started(10) → Finnished(20) → Audited(30). OrderItemPallet adds Audited when RevisorId > 0.

## Data Model
8. **GenericAttribute** = polymorphic key-value store. `KeyGroup` = owner type name, `EntityId` = owner ID. ProductDto reads IsMeasurable, Tare, AverageWeight, IncomingQuantity, NetWeight from GenericAttributes.
9. **Three parallel measurement hierarchies** share the same base (`MeasuringItemPalletBase`):
   - Shipping: ShippingItem → ShippingItemPallet
   - Order: OrderItemDto → OrderItemPallet (adds RevisorId for audit)
   - StockTaking: StockTakingItem → StockTakingItemPallet

## Technical
10. SignalR uses **AcBinaryHubProtocol** (custom binary), not default JSON.
11. Do not suggest removal/rollback as a solution — find a fix for the problem.
12. All AyCode references are via **DLL** (not ProjectReference) — this is intentional. nopCommerce 4.80.9 requirement.
13. **No redundant code** — before writing new logic, search for existing methods. Reuse or extract shared logic into smaller methods rather than duplicating.
14. **Keep all .md files in sync** — when you modify code, update any affected .md file (README.md, docs/, GLOSSARY, ARCHITECTURE, CONVENTIONS, SCHEMA, etc.). If you notice any .md content does not match the current code, fix it automatically.
15. **MgGridBase** (AyCode.Blazor) is the canonical grid base for all data screens. New grids inherit `FruitBankGridBase<TEntity>`, set CRUD tags in the constructor, and use `MgGridWithInfoPanel` for layout. See `AyCode.Blazor/docs/MGGRID.md` for the full technical reference. Do NOT create parallel grid base classes.
16. **AyCode.Core** solution (`../../../Aycode/Source/AyCode.Core/`) contains all core framework code: SignalR base classes, serialization, binary protocol, data sources, logging. When a type is referenced but not defined in this solution, look it up in AyCode.Core source and docs.
17. **AyCode.Blazor** solution (`../../../Aycode/Source/AyCode.Blazor/`) contains all UI framework code: MgGridBase, MgGridWithInfoPanel, toolbar, layout persistence, Blazor component infrastructure. When a UI base class or component is not found here, look it up in AyCode.Blazor source and docs.
18. **Mango.Nop Libraries** (`../NopCommerce.Common/4.70/Libraries/`) — independent shared library with its own `.github/copilot-instructions.md` and `docs/`. Contains DTOs, entities, data access, and service base classes. When a DTO or entity base class is not found in this solution, look it up in the Libraries source and docs.
19. **FruitBank nopCommerce Plugin** (`../NopCommerce.Common/4.70/Plugins/Nop.Plugin.Misc.AIPlugin/`) is the server-side plugin running inside nopCommerce 4.80.9. Contains SignalR hubs/endpoints, measurement services, data access (DbTable classes), admin controllers, and AI services. When a server-side endpoint or service is referenced, look it up here.
