 /**
  * Stock list PDF — landscape A4, every active stock item in a
  * table sorted by name. Columns mirror the on-screen /stock table
- * (SKU, Name, Supplier, Current, Min, Target, Location, Status) so
- * the printed copy is recognisable. The Status column uses the same
- * `getStockStatus` derivation as the on-screen badge.
+ * minus Location, with Target renamed to "Max" and the Name column
+ * widened. Rows alternate subtle zebra tinting so adjacent rows are
+ * easy to scan; the Status column sits at the right edge and is
+ * bold + colour-coded against the on-screen badge palette.
