User Story

As a crew lead
I want the today view to automatically scroll to the first unchecked item
So that I don't have to manually scroll past completed items every time I open the page

Context

When opening the today view after completing several items, all the checked-off items are still visible at the top. The user has to scroll past them to find the next actionable item. This friction adds up over the course of a workday with many queue items.

File Targets

Files the agent should modify or create:

TBD — likely the today view template and/or a Stimulus controller for scroll-on-load

Files the agent should NOT touch:

Backend controllers/models — this is purely a frontend behavior

Feature Flag

none

Acceptance Criteria

When I open the today view with some items already checked, the page scrolls to the first unchecked item
If all items are checked, the page stays at the top
The scroll is smooth, not an instant jump

Test Expectations

Manual test: check off several items, reload, verify scroll position
Run command: bin/rails test (no unit test expected — this is a UX behavior)

Constraints

Use scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' }) or equivalent
Must not interfere with other scroll behaviors on the page

Checklist

PR opened
Tests pass
