The server-side PDF route was already no-quote-aware — when
`quote.is_no_quote === true` it bypasses the pricing gate
(`pdf/route.ts:156, 238, 240`) and the PDF component renders "Not
quoted" cells + "—" totals (`quote-document.tsx:239, 242, 276/280/285`).
But the client side was ignoring the flag, so flipping the toggle
looked like a no-op. Five one-file fixes to close the gap:
1. `itemsReady` now short-circuits to true when no-quote is on.
Before: `itemsReady = items.length > 0 && missingSupplier === 0 &&
missingPricing === 0;` (always evaluated pricing). After: prepend
`isNoQuote ||` so the Generate Quote button enables regardless of
cost/selling prices. (Bug A)
2. `applyPricing` markup>0 guard now bypassed when no-quote is on.
Before: toast "Markup must be greater than 0" + refuse save when
markup ≤ 0 — blocked the operator from saving a 0/0/0 row. After:
`if (!isNoQuote && ...)` so the operator can save the row. (Bug B)
3. `handlePricingChange` auto-derive now skipped when no-quote is on.
The cost↔selling recompute on every keystroke (`value * (1 + markup
/ 100)` and inverse) was firing even when no-quote was set, which
is what produced the "I set 0/0/1% markup and it shows 1 cent"
artefact. Three branches (markup/cost/selling) now short-circuit
to pass-through under no-quote. (Bug C)
4. Helper text under the Generate Quote PDF button now explains
"No-quote letter — prices ignored on PDF (renders 'Not quoted'
cells)" when the toggle is on, instead of the misleading
"Price every item + assign a supplier before generating".
5. Second helper line under the toggle's label explaining the full
UI flow when on: "the pricing form stays editable but isn't
required, and the PDF renders 'Not quoted' cells with no totals."
Operator workflow now: flip toggle ON → enter description on a row
at 0/0/0 → save → click Generate Quote → PDF renders decline letter
with "Not quoted" cells and no totals. No PB migration needed
(`is_no_quote` boolean column already present per `pb-exports/pb_schema-2.json:2178`).
Build: clean. Typecheck: 0 errors. No tests added (manual flow; no
existing test exercises this toggle path).
