Overview

At manufacturing level, each film box carries two QR codes (one for product verification, one for warranty generation) and one 18-digit unique product code encoding the film type, destination country, and product identity. The platform tracks each product through its entire lifecycle — from factory to end customer — enforcing a time-limited, non-reusable warranty process.

End-to-End Workflow

1. Product created at factory — QR codes and product code printed on the box; product stored with status New.
2. Product sold to partner service — admin marks it as sold, binding it to a specific service account; an SMS with a countdown timer (12–48h) is sent to the service manager.
3. Time-limited warranty window — while the timer is active, the product shows as Active and can be verified as authentic; the warranty must be issued within the window.
4. Warranty issuance — the service uploads client car photos (auto-compressed and watermarked); the customer receives an SMS with a link to the warranty PDF and a personal code.
5. Final state: Expired — once issued or timed out, the product becomes Expired, cannot be reused, and a permanent entry is added to verification history.

Architecture Highlights

• Product lifecycle state machine — New → Active → Expired with time-based transitions enforced by scheduled console commands
• Console commands — products:deactivate-expired and related tasks automate timer expiry
• Role-based middleware — separate admin and service-center access boundaries
• Bilingual system — localized content via Laravel language files (en / ru)
• Image pipeline — client photos compressed and watermarked on upload

Code Quality & CI

Every push runs an automated pipeline via GitHub Actions:

• Laravel Pint — code style enforcement
• Migrations — schema validation on a fresh database
• Test suite — automated feature and unit tests
