feat(dashboard): clarify the fleet status card and swap map locations to project monitoring location coords.

feat: Location no longer assigned directly to unit, locations and coords are assigned to location only, unit only is deployed or benched.

+## [0.13.2] - 2026-05-30
+
+PWA-cache fix for mobile operators.  v0.13.0 added the inline PDF preview, `.TXT` download, and Review form to `event-modal.js`, but mobile devices using Terra-View as a PWA never saw any of it — the service worker had `CACHE_VERSION = 'v1'` (unchanged since v0.12.x), so the activate handler never evicted the stale cache and mobile users kept getting served the pre-v0.13.0 modal forever.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Service worker cache version bumped + tied to the app version**.  `CACHE_VERSION` in `backend/static/sw.js` is now `'v0.13.2'`, which causes the SW's activate handler to delete the old `sfm-static-v1` / `sfm-dynamic-v1` / `sfm-data-v1` caches on first visit after the upgrade.  Going forward the convention is: any release that touches a static asset must bump `CACHE_VERSION` to match `backend/main.py`'s `VERSION`.  Comment in `sw.js` documents this.
+- **`event-modal.js` precached** alongside `mobile.js` / `offline-db.js` etc.  Lifecycle is now tied to the SW version bump explicitly — old modal JS gets evicted on activate, new modal JS is fetched and cached during install.
+
+### What mobile users will see after deploy
+
+On next page navigation the SW update check fires, the new SW installs (skipWaiting), activate evicts the v1 caches, `controllerchange` fires, the page reloads with the v0.13.x modal.  On the worst-case device (no recent visit), it might take up to an hour for `registration.update()` to pick up the new SW — operators can force-refresh by closing and re-opening the PWA, or by clearing site data once.
+

 ## [0.13.1] - 2026-05-29
 
 Same-day patch on top of v0.13.0.  Fixes the mic-chart unit default — v0.13.0 shipped with `dBL` as the default, but the PDF report renders the mic axis in psi, so the website chart and the printed report didn't match.  Operator caught it within an hour of rollout.  Also relabels the modal's "Captured at" field to "Time received" so it isn't mistaken for the device's trigger time.
