 - **Recipe scraps tips** — During cooking steps, detect "waste" generated (peels, cores, bones, eggshells, coffee grounds, citrus zest, etc.) and surface AI-powered tips on how to reuse them (compost, natural cleaner, broth, candied peel, etc.). Could be shown as an optional collapsible hint card below the step that generates the scrap.

+### Fixed
+- **HA sensor `shopping_total` always null** — `haInventorySensor` was reading `shopping_total_cache.json` with a 1-hour TTL (cache populated only by the JS frontend, so it was often empty). Extended TTL to 24 hours and added an inline fallback: when the cache is absent or stale, the sensor now computes the total directly from `shopping_price_cache.json` without any AI calls. Queries `shopping_list` joined to `products` for the canonical `shopping_name`, then looks up both v3 and legacy v0 cache key formats to maximise hit rate. Works in both internal and Bring shopping modes.
+- **HA `ha_refresh_prices` using non-existent columns** — `haInventorySensor` and `haRefreshPrices` were querying `quantity`, `unit`, `checked` from `shopping_list` — columns that do not exist in that table (schema: `id, name, raw_name, specification, added_at, sort_order`). Changed to `SELECT name` with `shopping_name` join and default `qty=1 / unit=pz`.
