Safety and bolting updates: maintenance reporting is now available

We’ve added a new Report maintenance option on Vertical-Life Web to help keep route safety information up to date.

Users can already report safety issues on each route page, including bad bolts, damaged anchors, loose rock, or other concerns, as well as add bolting and rebolting updates.

Over time, some of these reports may become outdated because maintenance work was completed but never documented.

With the new Report maintenance workflow, users can now mark reported issues as resolved after maintenance has been carried out, helping keep route safety information more accurate and up to date.

For example:
- bad bolts were replaced
- a damaged anchor was fixed
- loose rock was removed
- a route was rebolted

When a rebolting update is added, all hardware-related reports for that route, such as bad bolts or damaged anchors, are automatically resolved.

This helps climbers see which safety warnings are still relevant, while keeping the maintenance history of the route visible and transparent.
