Sep 18 - Update dashboard, PMs will see the QR codes of their assigned projects/buidlings only

+| File | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| `routes/dashboard.py` | `_project_manager_qr_filter()` combined the assigned projects and locations with `or_`, so a PM assigned a location saw every project's QR codes carrying that location name. Now `and_`, matching the Attendance Report (§4). The same OR appeared in `dashboard_stats_api` and `dashboard_realtime_api` (counts and recent activity) — both switched too; `or_` is no longer imported |
+| — | Verified against the real models on in-memory SQLite, committed vs edited module: PM with project Alpha + location "Bldg A" went from `A1, A2, B1` (B1 belongs to project Beta) to `A1`; project-only PM unchanged (`A1, A2`); location-only PM unchanged (`A1, B1`); PM with no assignments sees nothing; admin unfiltered. The Set 23/27 suites could not be re-run (scratch scripts from that session are gone), but the change is confined to `routes/dashboard.py`, which they do not cover |
