Post-install checks

After the first administrator exists, walk this list before inviting technicians.

1. Activate licence (add Field if you ship the native app).
2. php artisan storage:link if using local public disks. Open Settings → Branding and confirm the logo loads.
3. Configure mail → Send test email. Inbox must receive it (queue/drain running).
4. Cron every minute + queue (tier B or C). php artisan schedule:list then a hand schedule:run.
5. Create users and a first technician if Field will be used (field.workspace.view + Active technician).
6. Take a backup.

If a check fails

Symptom	Usual cause
/install is 404	First super-admin already exists — expected
Logo 404	Missing storage:link
Test mail UI says sent, inbox empty	Queue drain/worker not running
Today empty on Field	No assigned non-Draft appointment, or eligibility incomplete
