The step cards saved via a full-page POST, and the reload broke the
technician's flow. Save in place instead:
- Status saves on change; notes save on blur (only when actually edited).
- Inline per-card feedback (Saving… / Saved ✓ / error), no reload.
- On a status change the header badge updates live and the escalation
banner shows/hides itself, matching a full server render.
Progressive enhancement: a new wp_ajax_att_hc_save_step_ajax handler reuses
the same capability + nonce + step validation + write-through as the form
handler, which is kept as the no-JS fallback. Mirrors the existing
step-history AJAX loader.
Bumps the plugin header, ATT_HC_VERSION and updates.json so PUC offers this
to installed sites. Server-side unaffected — this is plugin-only.
