Progress claims and invoices

Payment stages for the contract (deposit, strip-out and rough-in, waterproofing and tiling, fit-off, completion), claimed in one click with approved variations; other invoices too. Payments recorded against each; overdue ones on the Dashboard; the PDF with the contract summary.

Why it helps: Claim the moment a stage is done, and see what is left to claim.
