ImprovementScanning

Post-GA Onboarding & UI Polish

Free now includes CSV import for owner/admin roles within its 25-tool limit. Guided first-asset setup helps new teams get started; Scan waits until assets exist before asking for camera access, and the export upgrade prompt appears after a user chooses to export. Interface refinements improve consistency across the app.
