Quality hold triage

Traces the lots, orders and deviations behind a quality hold, drafts a release, rework or quarantine recommendation, and asks the QA lead to approve it.

The operation

For quality holds, prepare the QA disposition packet and recommend release, rework, quarantine, or escalation from inspection results, batch history, supplier lots, orders, deviations, and SOPs.
Built it in 6 steps. The QA lead approves the disposition in Teams, and Malleable handles the rest.
