## Problem
The operator terminal needs to be more user-friendly and guide operators through their work.
## Proposed solution
Cells in the operator terminal should have:
  • Custom colors
    mapped to cell state (pending/active/done/blocked), type (scan/cut/bend/weld/QC), and priority (normal/rush)
  • Per-cell operation instructions
    displayed contextually to guide operators through each step
Example: a scan cell might show 'Scan the QR code on the traveler — align barcode in viewfinder'
## Scope
  • UX design for color system instruction display
  • Engineering implementation in the operator terminal UI
