AppDock customisation

The AppDock is the macOS-style icon bar at the top of the dashboard. It is fully customisable per user.

Default dock items:

🏠 Home 📅 Appointments 👥 Patients 💳 Billing 📊 Analytics · ＋ New ⚡ Walk-In

Customising your dock:

1. Long-press any icon in the dock OR click the ··· Edit button.
2. The dock enters Edit Mode — icons show a × remove button and a drag handle.
3. Drag icons to reorder — drop between existing icons.
4. Tap × to remove an icon.
5. Tap + to open the Add Page picker — your clinic type's pages appear first in a "Your specialty" section.
6. Click Done to save. Layout syncs to the server immediately (PUT /api/user-preferences).

The dock auto-resizes: on screens narrower than 1024px, overflow icons move into a "···" overflow menu.

Live badges on the dock:

• Waiting Room icon: shows combined ARRIVED + WAITING count
• Messages icon: shows unread message count
• Active session: pulsing ring around the current patient icon
