Merge branch 'feat/license-vendor-id'

Retrofit License.vendor (string) -> vendorId (FK to Vendor),
createLicense() now returns {ok,error} pattern. Verified green by
test-runner (97/97 tests, tsc/lint/build clean) before merge.

   - **Lane A (Vendor → License.vendorId → PurchaseOrder → purchaseOrderId x3)**: (1-4) `Vendor` entity chuẩn 4 commit (model+migration/lib/API/test), không phụ thuộc gì. (5) Retrofit `License.vendor` (string) → `License.vendorId` (FK) — **1 commit gộp** (schema+migration+lib+test), theo đúng tiền lệ retrofit `Request.employeeId` (commit `49d96b7`, không tách lớp như entity mới vì tách ra sẽ để lại state nửa vời không chạy được) — tiện thể fix luôn finding cũ của `code-reviewer`: `createLicense()` chưa theo pattern `{ok,value}|{ok,error}`, giờ **bắt buộc** phải thêm vì `vendorId` là FK mới (cần bắt `P2003`). Phụ thuộc (1). (6-9) `PurchaseOrder` entity chuẩn 4 commit (`vendorId` FK, `receivedBy` FK→`Employee`, Zod `.refine()` cho ràng buộc `receivedAt`/`receivedBy` cùng null hoặc cùng có giá trị, bắt `P2003` cho cả 2 FK, theo đúng pattern `{ok,error}` ngay từ đầu) — phụ thuộc (1) `Vendor` + `Employee` (đã có). (10) `AssetItem.purchaseOrderId` — 1 commit gộp (nullable FK). (11) `License.purchaseOrderId` — 1 commit gộp **riêng** với task (5) dù cùng file, vì trigger phụ thuộc khác nhau (`Vendor` vs `PurchaseOrder`) — gộp chung sẽ vi phạm nguyên tắc 1-commit-1-thay-đổi-nghiệp-vụ. (12) `Request.purchaseOrderId` — 1 commit gộp. (10)(11)(12) đều chỉ phụ thuộc (6), độc lập lẫn nhau, thứ tự giữa 3 task này không quan trọng.
   - **Lane B (AssetCategory → AssetCategoryAttributeDef + AssetModel → wire dynamic validation → AssetItem.modelId)**: **gap phát hiện khi sequencing** — `AssetCategory`/`AssetModel`/`ConsumableItem` đã có spec từ round BA trước (2026-08-02, xem "Phân loại tài sản" trong doc) nhưng **CHƯA build** (không có trong `prisma/schema.prisma` hiện tại, `AssetItem.model` vẫn là string tự do) — phải làm trước thì `AssetCategoryAttributeDef` mới có ý nghĩa. (13-16) `AssetCategory` entity chuẩn 4 commit (`name`, `valueGroup` enum `high_value`/`low_value`), không phụ thuộc gì. (17-20) `AssetCategoryAttributeDef` entity chuẩn 4 commit (`categoryId` FK, `key`, `label`, `dataType` enum, `required`, `sortOrder`, unique `(categoryId,key)` → bắt `P2002`) — phụ thuộc (13), độc lập với `AssetModel`. (21-24) `AssetModel` entity chuẩn 4 commit (`categoryId` FK + business rule "category phải `valueGroup=high_value`" — cần lookup DB, không phải Zod thuần; `manufacturer`, `name`, `specs` JSONB — ở task này `specs` chỉ validate lỏng là object hợp lệ, CHƯA khớp động theo `AssetCategoryAttributeDef`) — phụ thuộc (13), độc lập với (17-20). (25) Wire dynamic specs validation vào `AssetModel` create/update — **1 commit riêng**, không gộp vào (22), vì đây là logic mới/rủi ro (build Zod schema runtime từ `AssetCategoryAttributeDef`, map `dataType`→`z.string()/number()/boolean()/coerce.date()`, từ chối key lạ, bắt buộc key `required`) — phụ thuộc (18) và (22). (26) Retrofit `AssetItem.model` (string) → `AssetItem.modelId` (FK) — 1 commit gộp, phụ thuộc (21) (không cần đợi (25)).
   - **Lane C (`Assignment`, độc lập hoàn toàn với Lane A/B — chỉ cần `Employee`+`AssetItem`+`License` đã có sẵn)**: (27) model+migration (`employeeId` FK, `assetItemId`/`licenseId` nullable FK, `assignedAt`, `returnedAt` nullable, `signedAt` nullable). (28) lib validation+CRUD — rủi ro nhất trong cả 4 entity: Zod `.refine()` XOR `assetItemId`/`licenseId`, chặn >1 `Assignment` active/`AssetItem`, transaction tăng/giảm `License.seatsUsed` kèm chặn overbook (`seatsUsed >= seatsTotal`), đồng bộ `AssetItem.status` (assigned/in_stock), helper transfer (đóng cũ+mở mới cùng 1 transaction). (29) API routes — **cần quyết định shape mới**: đây là entity đầu tiên cần thao tác "update" (return/transfer) trong khi codebase hiện tại **mọi entity đều chỉ có POST(create)+GET(list), chưa có route update nào** — đề xuất mặc định `POST /api/assignments` (assign/transfer) + `PATCH /api/assignments/[id]` (return, nhận `{returnedAt}}`), cần xác nhận lại khi giao task cho `pm`/`feature-implementer` vì không có tiền lệ. (30) tests. **(31) Bắt buộc code-reviewer pass riêng cho Assignment (diff 27-30) trước khi coi là xong** — đúng rule ở "Multi-agent dev workflow" (state-mutation-với-invariant, seat-count) — không phải 1 commit, là 1 gate.
-  - **2 câu hỏi mở cần stakeholder trả lời trước khi code Lane C (không tự đoán)**: (a) `createAssignment()` có cần chặn nếu `AssetItem.status` hiện tại **không phải** `in_stock` không (vd không cho assign 1 item đang `repair`/`retired`)? Spec hiện chỉ mô tả status **tự đổi theo sau** khi assign/return, không nói rõ có precondition chặn assign hay không — nếu không chặn, 1 asset "retired" hoặc "repair" (miễn chưa có `Assignment` active nào) vẫn assign được, có vẻ sai nghiệp vụ nhưng chưa được xác nhận rõ. (b) REST shape cho "update" (PO nhận hàng, Assignment return/transfer) — đề xuất ở trên (`PATCH .../[id]`) là suy đoán hợp lý theo REST convention chuẩn, chưa có tiền lệ nào trong codebase để đối chiếu, nên xác nhận với `pm` trước khi `feature-implementer` tự bịa shape khác nhau giữa `PurchaseOrder` và `Assignment`.
+  - **2 câu hỏi mở đã được stakeholder trả lời (2026-08-02, xem "Assignment" trong `docs/asset-license-management.md`) — Lane C hết bị chặn**: (a) `createAssignment()` **chặn** nếu `AssetItem.status` khác `in_stock` (400). (b) Route update dùng `PATCH /api/<entity>/[id]` (áp dụng cho cả `Assignment` và `PurchaseOrder`), không dùng action-based sub-route.
   - `ConsumableItem` (phần catalog, KHÔNG phải luồng "xin+nhận" — luồng đó vẫn BỊ CHẶN chờ 7 câu hỏi mở, xem doc): độc lập với toàn bộ 3 lane trên (chỉ cần `AssetCategory`), sẵn sàng cho `pm` chia task riêng nếu stakeholder muốn gộp vào cùng đợt — không đưa vào sequencing này vì nằm ngoài phạm vi 4 việc được giao lần này.

   - Assign 1 `License` phải **tăng** `License.seatsUsed`, và phải **bị từ chối** nếu `seatsUsed >= seatsTotal` (không overbook). Trả lại (set `returnedAt`) **giảm** `seatsUsed`. Toàn bộ phải chạy trong 1 transaction — đây chính là rủi ro seat-count race condition mà `code-reviewer` đã note trước đó cho `License` (xem "Trạng thái hiện tại" ở `../CLAUDE.md`, mục `License`) — `Assignment` là chỗ thực sự implement/exercise seat counting lần đầu tiên.
   - Chuyển tài sản giữa nhân viên (case đặc biệt đã note ở trên: "Tài sản luân chuyển giữa phòng ban / chi nhánh") = đóng `Assignment` cũ (`returnedAt = now`) + tạo `Assignment` mới, cả hai trong 1 transaction. Không cần entity "Transfer" riêng.
   - `AssetItem.status` phải đồng bộ theo trạng thái `Assignment`: tạo `Assignment` → status `assigned`; trả lại → status `in_stock`, trừ nhánh RMA/sửa chữa đã note ở "Case đặc biệt cần xử lý" (đó là case riêng, không đi qua path trả-lại-thông-thường này).

(b) Route "update" (trả lại/chuyển giao `Assignment`, nhận hàng `PurchaseOrder`) dùng `PATCH /api/<entity>/[id]` — tiền lệ REST-shape đầu tiên cho update trong codebase, áp dụng thống nhất cho cả `Assignment` và `PurchaseOrder`, không dùng action-based sub-route.
 
 **Ràng buộc dữ liệu:**
 - `Assignment.employeeId` bắt buộc, trỏ tới 1 `Employee` có thật.
 - Đúng 1 trong `assetItemId`/`licenseId` được set (XOR) — validate Zod `.refine()`.
 - Không được có > 1 `Assignment` active cho cùng 1 `AssetItem` tại 1 thời điểm (enforce ở tầng application, không phải DB constraint).
+- Tạo `Assignment` bị chặn nếu `AssetItem.status` khác `in_stock` (400).
 - `License.seatsUsed` tăng/giảm đồng bộ trong 1 transaction khi assign/return; assign bị chặn nếu `seatsUsed >= seatsTotal`.
