POS UI extensions 2026-07 uses per-unit fixed-amount line item discounts

POS UI extensions API 2026-07 changes FixedAmount line item discounts in setLineItemDiscount/bulkSetLineItemDiscounts to be per-unit instead of total-line discount. Previous versions auto-converted total to per-unit; new version requires apps to send the correct per-unit value.

Why it matters: Apps that previously passed a total fixed-amount discount for a line item will silently produce wrong discount values after upgrading to 2026-07. This is a breaking semantic change requiring code review, test updates, and a versioned release before bumping POS extension targets.

Action: Audit any POS UI extension that uses setLineItemDiscount or bulkSetLineItemDiscounts with a FixedAmount discount. Update logic to compute and pass the per-unit value (total / quantity). Add regression tests for multi-quantity lines. Pin to 2026-04 until verified.
