This PR addresses a security vulnerability related to insufficient input validation on transaction quantities in the inventory management system.

🎯 What

The addTransaction function in the useInventory hook was accepting quantities without validating if they were non-zero, finite, or within reasonable bounds. This could allow for accidental or malicious data corruption.

⚠️ Risk

Without proper validation, the system could record invalid transactions (e.g., zero quantity, NaN, or extremely large values) that would corrupt the calculated stock levels and compromise the integrity of the pharmaceutical logistics grid.

🛡️ Solution

The fix implements a multi-layered validation strategy:

  1. Utility Level: A centralized validateTransaction function enforces that quantities are finite, non-zero integers within the range of [-100,000, 100,000], and that batch IDs are valid.
  2. Hook Level: The useInventory hook now validates all transactions before insertion.
  3. UI Level: TransactionForm provides real-time feedback and prevents submission of invalid data.
  4. Data Level: The RxDB schema has been updated (version 1) to include numeric constraints, providing defense-in-depth. A migration strategy ensures backward compatibility.

Verified with manual test scripts for the validation logic.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 12034806627816000843 started by @alfieprojectsdev

- Created `validateTransaction` utility to enforce quantity and batch ID constraints.
- Integrated validation into `useInventory` hook to prevent database corruption.
- Added UI-level validation in `TransactionForm` for immediate user feedback.
- Hardened RxDB schema with `minimum`, `maximum`, and `multipleOf` constraints on `qty`.
- Incremented transaction schema version and added identity migration strategy.

Fixes a security vulnerability where insufficient input validation could lead to data corruption or malicious input.
