Pipeline stages

Every opportunity flows through 9 stages in a fixed order. You walk forward one stage at a time - jumps that skip stages are blocked. Move a card by either dragging it across columns on the kanban OR picking a new stage from the Stage dropdown inside the opportunity.

Trying to drag New inquiry straight to Confirmed is rejected - the system enforces the order so stages can't be skipped accidentally.
