Add petrol_lpg, diesel_lpg and hydrogen to the fuel_type choices, across the six places that define them: the PocketBase schema, the car form and detail view in both the Web App and the Phone App, and the two doc comments that enumerate the values. The Go API needed no change — it passes fuel_type through as a free string, so PocketBase is the only validator. Model the LPG conversions as their own choices rather than a separate "has LPG" flag: the car runs on either tank, so "petrol + LPG" is what an owner picks it out as. Order each variant next to its base fuel so the dropdowns read naturally. Purely additive — existing rows keep their values and need no migration. The live PocketBase schema does still need scripts/setup-pocketbase.mjs re-run before the new choices will save, since its select field allows only the old four; the script reconciles select values on existing fields, so re-running migrates it in place.

Car Control Project
A car control & service tracking system. Built incrementally — starting with a
car maintenance tracker (modeled on Car Service.xlsx) and growing toward
live integration with the car via an ESP32 device.
Architecture
All clients communicate with the database only through the API Server — nothing talks to PocketBase directly.

The Web and Phone apps are at feature parity (the phone omits only data export/import).
Features
- Maintenance tracking — cars, service history (date/odometer + which parts were changed), and a per-car parts catalog, with next-due date/km status.
- Accounts & sessions — JWT login, per-device active sessions with remote logout, profile + appearance preferences (theme/locale/date/font), email verification, and account deletion.
- Per-user ownership & sharing — each car has an owner and can be shared with other users as read or write; the UI mirrors the server's access checks.
- Admin — role-gated user management (create / role / reset password / delete).
- Phone biometric login & app lock — fingerprint / face sign-in with an app-lock that requires an unlock on relaunch (with a short grace period for quick app-switches). See the Phone App README.
Auth model
All three apps share one auth model: login via POST /api/auth/login returns a
JWT issued by the API Server (after verifying against PocketBase users), and
every other endpoint requires Authorization: Bearer <token>. Each login also
creates a server-side session whose id is embedded in the token, so sessions can
be listed and revoked. Access to cars/records/parts is gated by per-user
ownership and shares; admin endpoints require the admin role.
Domain (from Car Service.xlsx)
- Cars — one per vehicle (was: one spreadsheet sheet), with spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, …) and configurable service intervals.
- Service records — date + odometer per service, plus which parts were changed (oil & oil filter, engine air filter, cabin air filter).
- Parts — per-car catalog of part numbers.
Key spreadsheet formulas, reproduced by the API Server on read:
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (default 365; Excel: =A+365)
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (default 15 000; Excel: =B+15000)
Intervals are configurable per car.
Getting started
Bring up the stack in this order — each app's README has the details:
- API Server — configure
.env, runsetup-pocketbase.mjs, start the server. This must be running for either app. - Web App —
npm install && npm run dev(proxies/apito the server). - Phone App —
flutter build apk/flutter runwith--dart-define=API_BASE=http://<server-ip>:8080/api.
