  "summary": "Iteration 28 — Bulk Rate Update (v12.14) END-TO-END verified GREEN. BACKEND: 6/6 test_bulk_rate_update.py pass (preview math 100/200/300+10% → 110/220/330 ✅; apply 'set' purchase_price=50 persists, current_stock=10 unchanged ✅; history returns batch with row_count=3 ✅; undo restores MRP 144→120 and re-undo returns 409 ✅; dec_pct 100 skips with reason 'must be > 0' ✅; operation='multiply' returns 400 ✅; category filter matches all 3 items ✅). REGRESSION (42 tests across test_smoke + test_item_multi_images + test_bulk_import_multi_image + test_access_control_and_payroll + test_invoice_share_and_prefixes + test_bulk_rate_update): 42 passed, 1 pre-existing skip, 0 failures, 7.81s. FRONTEND: Login (admin) → /items toolbar shows emerald 'Bulk Rates' button (testid=bulk-rate-update-btn) between Bulk Update and Trash ✅; dialog opens (testid=bulk-rate-update-dialog) with all 4 tabs (direct/category/excel/history) ✅; Direct Edit shows target dropdown (Sale Price default) + 5 op buttons (Set/+%/-%/+₹/-₹) + value input + Preview ✅; clicking Preview with op=inc_pct value=5 on a real item (Smoke Inv Item, sale ₹100) returned preview table OLD=₹100 / NEW=₹105 / Δ=+5 — math correct ✅; Apply-to-N button enabled after preview ✅; History tab shows 8 prior batches with 5 active Undo buttons (rest already undone) ✅; Excel tab exposes bulk-rate-download-template + bulk-rate-upload-input ✅; Category tab exposes bulk-rate-filter-category ✅. Stock-preservation contract verified at backend (test_apply_set_absolute_logs_batch_and_keeps_stock asserts current_stock==10 after apply). Permission gating: /apply + /undo gated by require_module('import_export'); /preview + /history gated by require_module('items') — admin role has '*' so all pass; explicit 403 path is the same require_module mechanism already covered by test_access_control_and_payroll.test_payroll_view_unauthorized_for_default_admin.",

    "bulk_rate_update.py:286-303 undo flips undone=true atomically and short-circuits on re-undo with 409 (test_apply_then_undo_restores_old_values covers both paths).",
    "Permission split is correct: /preview + /history → require_module('items') (default-on for staff/admin); /apply + /undo → require_module('import_export') (write-gated). Aligns with the rest of the suite (e.g., bulk import).",
