Answers the confusion of asking for a DB connection while also offering to
create the tables. Each self-host-capable plugin (employees, usb) now shows a
mode choice; the external connection fields appear only for "connect your own
database". Default is self-hosted (create tables here) - the external path is
the niche/our-site option.
- provisioning_note gains mode_setting; employee_directory_mode + usb_directory_
mode settings (both default 'selfhosted').
- Wizard renders the radio, shows the note for self-hosted and the config fields
for external, and saves the chosen mode.
Employees works fully in both modes. USB self-hosted ROUTING is still TODO - the
USB routes read the external cmmc_usb schema; wiring them to the app-owned
tables is the remaining work (tracked).
