AXB:Bench Identity & Assistant Polish

A cleaner AXB:Bench identity arrives alongside major Bench and Shop Assistant interface improvements for faster, more flexible day-to-day work.

Introduced the AXB:Bench product identity under the AXB Tech company brand, with a cleaner Workbench Intelligence wordmark across the app.
Shop Assistant can now follow the active shop across pages, use current screen/work-order context, and apply session-scoped Shop Boost when needed.
Desktop Shop Assistant can undock into a movable, resizable tool window while keeping the same session and live voice connection.

Bench Assistant is now one unified Chat | Voice panel with a shared conversation timeline, integrated Bench Boost, and persistent same-order context.
Bench and Shop Assistant panels can collapse without stopping active work; live Shop voice can minimize to a floating indicator while the user navigates.
Shop Assistant mobile layout gives substantially more room to Intake and conversation content, with session switching moved into the compact wrench menu.

Assistant presentation changes no longer require users to understand separate voice/chat implementation paths; one Assistant keeps the active session context.
