Promo & Prize Code Redemption

Added a "Redeem a Code" option under Settings → Subscription. Users can enter an admin-issued promo code or tournament prize code to activate an Angler or Pro-Angler subscription for a set duration.
Added a "Have a promo code?" link at the bottom of the upgrade/paywall screen that navigates to the same redemption flow.
Codes are validated server-side and are single-use, time-limited, and rate-limited (5 attempts per hour per user). No payment is collected — these are admin-granted access codes only.

  Your active tackle box is now managed in Settings → Tackle Boxes. Tap the checkmark next to any box to set it as active — your selection is remembered between sessions.

  Improved Measurement Accuracy (TrueCatch)
  The AI measurement system now calibrates using two independent 1" ruler segments instead of reading endpoint numbers, eliminating errors when the fish doesn't start at zero on the ruler. The TrueCatch verification detail now shows the
  full pixel-level calculation for transparency.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-30

What's New in 1.1 (Build 161)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Tournament Rules & Info                                                  
  Anglers enrolled in a tournament now have a dedicated Rules & Info tab on the tournament screen. Displays the tournament schedule, eligible species, fishing boundary and radius, scoring format, catch window,
  and any organizer-supplied rules.

  Tournament Fishing Day Enforcement
  TrueCatch now enforces the maximum fishing days limit set by the organizer. Catches submitted on a new day once the limit is reached are automatically flagged and rejected from scoring.

  TrueCatch Verification Detail
  Anglers can tap any TrueCatch badge to see a full breakdown of what was verified — GPS, EXIF timestamp, species match, measurement instrument — and which checks triggered a review flag.

  Tier Feature Gates
  All subscription-gated features (offline maps, extended predictions, angler limits) are now consistently enforced across the app with an inline upgrade prompt.

  Bug Fixes
  - Gold camera button no longer appears for anglers with no active tournament after logging out
  - Fishing predictions score calculation corrected
  - Community catches refresh when returning to the feed
  - Stats screen range calculations corrected
