Companion 1.3.0 published to both stores on 2026-08-12, which lands seven shelf.nu PRs this automation had been holding as "merged but not in a live build":

PR What it ships
#2768 Record scan location on native QR scans
#2753 Native claim + link/create for unclaimed QR codes
#2829 Adjust stock quantity from the asset detail screen
#2823 Quantity-tracked display parity (low stock, kit quantities, per-slice booking rows)
#2798 User date/time format preferences via shared @shelf/datetime
#2800 Consumable "how many were used up" split, companion half
#2734 Book-by-model fulfil follow-ups

Proof it is actually live, not just merged:

  • Apple lookup API: 1.3.0, currentVersionReleaseDate 2026-08-12T11:51:48Z (checked across the US, GB, NL and DE storefronts)
  • Google Play listing: 1.3.0
  • Each PR's merge commit confirmed an ancestor of build-32 commit 93c6ee12e via gh api .../compare (all seven return ahead)

The part that matters most

Two of these were listed on the site as things the app cannot do. shelf-ios-companion-getting-started.mdx had a section headed "What the App Does Not Do Yet" whose first two bullets were:

  • GPS / last-known-location capture on scan.
  • Claiming a brand new QR code inside the app.

Both shipped. src/data/mobile-app.ts also had "Claiming brand new QR labels into a workspace" sitting in the bestOnWeb column. That is the site talking the product down, and it is the exact failure mode that went unnoticed for three weeks after 1.2.0.

A third page carried a dated promise: quantity-tracked-assets-and-consumables.mdx said "The current app release still labels this action 'release' on both kinds of asset, and a future release brings the wording and the partial used-up field in line with the web." That future release is this one.

Content changes

Factual corrections

  • content/knowledge-base/shelf-ios-companion-getting-started.mdx — removed the GPS bullet and rewrote the QR-claim bullet in What the App Does Not Do Yet; both capabilities moved up into step 4 where they belong. Added a closing line naming what moved, so a returning reader is not left wondering.
  • content/knowledge-base/shelf-ios-companion-getting-started.mdx — the unclaimed-code bullet said every role gets Link in Browser. It is now role-split (see the gating note below).
  • content/knowledge-base/quantity-tracked-assets-and-consumables.mdx — replaced the "a future release will…" sentence with what the release actually does.
  • src/data/mobile-app.tsbestOnWeb entry narrowed to the roles it still applies to; the capability added to builtForApp.
  • content/solutions/mobile-asset-auditing.mdxGPS Updates on Scan said "when a QR code is scanned in the web app". Now covers both surfaces, and states the phone version is opt-in.

Content enhancements

  • content/knowledge-base/shelf-ios-companion-getting-started.mdx — new paragraphs for scan location (step 4), the consumable used-up split, stock Adjust, the amber low-stock Available figure, the extras-aware fulfil CTA, and the "0 assets · 5 reserved" bookings row.
  • content/knowledge-base/quantity-tracked-assets-and-consumables.mdxOn the mobile app gains Adjust and low-stock bullets.
  • content/knowledge-base/date-time-and-timezone-preferences.mdxWhere it applies gains a Companion row. Worth having: the setting is web-only to configure, so a reader could reasonably assume the phone ignores it.
  • src/data/mobile-app.ts — new FAQ, "Does the app track my location?". The store listings now declare location collection, so a prospect will ask.

New content

  • content/updates/companion-1-3-0-scan-location-and-qr-claiming.mdx — release entry. Reuses the existing /images/updates/shelf-mobile-app.jpg hero, matching the 1.2.0 entry.

Review notes

Role gating on QR claiming is real and I have documented it as such. scanner.tsx:242 gates the native claim on qr:update. In packages/permissions/src/resolver.ts:50 ADMIN and OWNER short-circuit to allow-all; BASE and SELF_SERVICE hold only qr:read. So admins and owners claim in-app and everyone else keeps the web bridge. Writing "you can now claim codes in the app" flat would have been wrong for two of the four roles.

UI strings were read from the shipped source, not from PR bodies. This caught one: the state file's deferral note for #2800 said the companion action relabels to "Mark as consumed". The shipped assets/[id].tsx sets confirmLabel to "Confirm" on a consumable; what actually changes is the second field, "Of those, how many were used up?". The copy describes the field, not the button. The web page's separate claim that the web action reads "Mark as consumed" is untouched and still correct.

Not verified: the rendered Cloudflare preview (Access-gated, and this is a headless scheduled run) and on-device screenshots. The media pipeline only drives the web app, so nothing in this PR could be captured from it. There are no new screenshot TODOs; the pages carry their existing images.

No alternatives sweep. A native app recording scan location is table stakes in this category, not a differentiator, and alternatives/cheqroom.mdx and alternatives/timly.mdx both position Shelf as deliberately not a GPS-tracking product. Adding "we do GPS too" would muddy a distinction those pages make on purpose. content/features/audits.mdx and content/features/bookings.mdx were read and need no change: both already describe these flows at the right altitude.

Deliberately not touched: the article's title and slug still say "for iPhone" although Android has been live since 2026-06-08. Renaming is an SEO decision, not a factual fix. Flagged for a human below.

Impact scope

  • End users affected: every Companion user, especially quantity-tracked workspaces and anyone labelling new stock in the field
  • Prospects affected: mobile-first evaluators comparing native-app depth, and anyone checking the location disclosure against the store listings
  • Pages modified: 5
  • Pages created: 1
  • Pages flagged for review: 1 (the iPhone-only title/slug)

Related

content/pages/privacy.mdx needed the matching location disclosure and is in #237, separately, because it is legal copy and needs a different reviewer. This PR does not claim the policy has been updated; it only links to it.

Warning

Review limit reached

@carlosvirreira, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 106 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b40ad

The PR updates Companion 1.3.0 documentation, but its current wording incorrectly suggests some members cannot claim codes in Shelf at all and adds a location-collection FAQ that conflicts with the existing privacy page. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to align those statements before release.

the app, while preserving the existing browser claiming flow and Link in Browser
behavior.

that location is captured only during scans while the app is open, not tracked
continuously or in the background. Replace the FAQ’s opening “No” with this

…ust in the app

Answers the CodeRabbit review the rate limit skipped on the first pass.
Verified against packages/permissions/src/matrix.ts and both claim routes:
claiming needs qr:update, which only OWNER and ADMIN hold (through the
roleHasPermission short-circuit; no role's matrix entry lists it). Base and
self-service hold qr:read only, and the web claim route gates on the same
permission as the mobile endpoint. Sending those members to the browser to
claim a sticker was advice they cannot act on.

- bestOnWeb no longer lists claiming as a base/self-service web task
- companion KB step 4 and the gap list say claiming is a role limit
- the location FAQ opens with the actual behaviour instead of a bare No

…it (#245)

* content: over-placed stock, and booking pooled stock that sits in a kit

Triggered by shelf.nu #2818 and #2866.

- Documents the Over-placed row, the automatic single-location trim, the
  ambiguous multi-location case, and the new refusal when a total would
  drop below what manual placements claim.
- Corrects the kit rule: a quantity-tracked asset's free units are
  bookable directly; only individually tracked kit members are blocked.

* content: name what the reduce-quantity guard protects against

CodeRabbit on #245: 'from the other side too' does not say which side.
The paragraph is about lowering an asset's total quantity, so it says
that. Also 'afterwards' to 'afterward' for US English.

* content: the phone shows a kit's slice and each booking commitment separately

shelf.nu#2823 (QUANTITY_TRACKED display parity) is in the live 1.3.0
binary: merge commit 478e74a1 vs build commit 93c6ee12e compares as
'ahead', and 1.3.0 has been on both stores since 2026-08-12. The
deferral that held this back said both stores were still on 1.2.0,
which stopped being true a week ago.

Two of its three surfaces were unclaimed on the site. The third, the
amber Available figure at or below min quantity, this article already
had.

Strings read from the shipped source at 93c6ee12e, not from the PR body:
- app/(tabs)/assets/kits/[id].tsx renders the member quantity as
  `${'`'}x${kitQuantityLabel}`, with formatQuantity giving "20 rolls".
- app/(tabs)/bookings/[id].tsx renders one row per slice when a
  QUANTITY_TRACKED item has more than one, each a QuantityBadge with
  label "booked" beside `Kit: <name>` or "Standalone".

* content: cross-link pooled custody to the both-at-once rule

Closes the qt-kb-custody-checkout-crosslink follow-up, which was blocked
on website-v2#238 owning this file's frontmatter. #238 merged
2026-08-14, and this branch already owns the file.

than the general one, since that is the half about pools.
