Two small board additions. The shot version now shows next to the shot code. It is Shot.shotVersion — the value the AE panel burns into overlays and queueExport renders under, and the one the shot detail page edits — not a count of uploaded review Versions, so the board agrees with what the artist has in the panel. Shot.isScaled records that a shot is scaled in the edit: the plate is not used at its native size, which changes how the shot is comped and reviewed. That makes it a standing property of the shot rather than something buried in the notes, so it is flagged the way isKeyShot is — a cyan pill next to the shot name, and a Scaled toggle column beside Key. toggleScaledShot() (actions/shots.ts) mirrors toggleKeyShot, same roles. KeyShotToggle's switch markup would have been duplicated verbatim for the second flag, so both now sit on a shared FlagToggle taking a colour tone and a setter. The key-shot switch behaves exactly as before, optimistic update and rollback included. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
