1. Icons/Emojis for Trades & Specialties

Request: Add a "Trade Icon" field to each cost code or line item, auto-filled based on trade category. Show icons in estimate views, proposal views, PDF exports, and Gantt/timeline views by trade.

Right now line items are text-only. Adding visual trade icons (like a hammer for carpentry, lightning bolt for electrical, water drop for plumbing, etc.) would make estimates and proposals much easier to scan — especially for clients reviewing them. Think of how Home Depot visually distinguishes trades in their skilled trades materials.

Suggested icons:
- General Labor: 🧰 or 👷
- Demolition: 🛠️
- Concrete / Terrazzo: 🧱
- Carpentry / Millwork: 🔨
- Electrical:
- Plumbing: 🚰
- HVAC: 🌬️
- Painting: 🎨
- Flooring / Tile: 🧱
- Glass / Glazing: 🪟
- Design / Coordination: 📐
- Cleanup / Protection: 🧹
