docs: TallyFlow Scout marketing + Edge/Print/Capture feature refresh

Review tallyflow-assets-iot (TallyFlow Scout v0.5.3): Collect, Verify,
Locate with Edge remote reader / offline CSV locate. Clarify Scout does
not replace Core Assets. Refresh Edge, Print parent-container and multi-
unit identity notes, Capture share/offline/barcode notes, architecture,
use cases, capabilities, and website drafts after src/ repo pulls.

# TallyFlow Edge Review (repo: tallyflow-iot)
**Tech Stack:** Rust (Cargo workspace) + Leptos (web UI)
**Product name:** TallyFlow Edge (repo/package still `tallyflow-iot`)
**Tech stack:** Rust (Cargo workspace) + Leptos CSR web UI
**Branches reviewed:** `develop` through `81fa9d8` (July 2026 pull)
## Structure
- `core/`: Main service/library
- RFID drivers (Impinj, Zebra, ATID ATF862 / Invengo XC-RF861 — same reader rebranded)
- Barcode support (Zebra, SNAPI)
- REST API v1
- Real-time tag streaming
- Reader config/control
- Runs as an always-on Windows or Linux service
- `web/`: Leptos CSR web interface
- Reader health monitoring
- Live tag streaming with filtering
- Start/stop controls
- Imports types directly from `core` (no duplication)
## Key Capabilities
- Hardware abstraction for multiple RFID vendors
- Real-time data pipeline from readers → REST → web UI
- Designed for always-on Edge deployment
- Strong documentation (REST_API.md, LIBRARY.md, etc.)
- `core/` — service/library
- RFID drivers: Impinj, Zebra, **ATID ATF862 / Invengo XC-RF861 (Master mode)**
- Barcode: SNAPI / Aurora / wedge paths
- **Remote reader** REST API (mobile/handheld submit — used by **TallyFlow Scout**)
- REST API v1, live tag streaming, reader start/stop/health
- **Reader-side filtering** (for quotes such as RMS tunnel/filter needs — validate in field)
- Keyboard wedge + optional lookup filter (e.g. Assa Abloy patterns)
- Egress processors: CSV logger, REST, AMQP → TallyFlow
- **MCP** Streamable HTTP at `/mcp` (health, readers, tags; statistics-oriented skills expanded)
- Windows Service install path
- `web/` — Leptos UI: reader health, live stream/filter, start/stop, improved statistics display
## Relevance to TallyFlow Platform
- Primary ingestion layer for RFID/Edge data
- Feeds the web app, reporting, and exception systems
- Complements tallyflow-web (which consumes the data)
## Key capabilities (market carefully)
## Next Steps for Review
- Inspect `core/src/` for reader driver implementations
- Review REST API endpoints in REST_API.md
- Check web/ Leptos components for UI patterns
- Multi-vendor fixed RFID + remote/handheld readers under one site edge
- Unified tag feed → CSV / REST / AMQP
- Ops UI without vendor tools
- MCP read-oriented copilot surface (not autonomous dock control by default)
- Companion handheld: [[TallyFlow Scout]] (Collect / Verify / Locate)
## Relevance
- Primary **site edge** ingestion for docks, tunnels, and multi-reader plants
- Can feed Core via AMQP; can stand alone with CSV/REST and customer apps (e.g. Alice+Olivia console)
- Scout is the supported mobile remote-reader experience for Edge
## Next review steps
- Confirm shipped MCP tool list vs docs after statistics/MCP skill commits
- Document ATF862 Master mode hardware prerequisites
- Field-test reader-side filtering before strong marketing claims
