Each stock item now renders a Font Awesome icon in the catalog grid
in place of the generic '?' initials. The icon comes from the item's
category, set on the categories collection's new 'icon' field (e.g.
'fa-solid fa-bolt' for Fasteners). All 10 active categories seeded
with sensible defaults; can be edited per-row in PB admin.
Match logic lives in pos-service.listActiveStockCatalog: it pulls the
categories matcher table, then assigns each item by:
1. category.match_brands (against item text or supplier's supply_tags)
2. category.match_supplier_tags
3. category.match_keywords (longest first so 'hydraulic hose' beats 'hose')
4. the 'Unknown / Other' catch-all is excluded from matching — anything
with no match simply gets the initials fallback
The matcher table is in PB (the existing match_keywords/match_supplier_tags
/match_brands fields on categories), so admins can tune coverage without
a deploy. Two keyword additions to Fasteners (allen cap, set screw) and
Cutting Tools (tap, drill, chuck) lifted the live match rate from 67% to
71% (298/418 items across 8 categories).
