 - Product identification is now an extracted `ProductIdentityStep` molecule with empty/filled Storybook states, while preserving the existing create-product API workflow.
 - Source mapping is now an extracted `ProviderMappingStep` molecule with Product/Provider/PRODUCT-vs-SEARCH mapping states, while preserving existing mapping loading and save behavior.
 - Physical inventory creation is now an extracted `InventoryCopyStep` molecule with Product and condition selection states, while preserving the existing seller-scoped create-copy API workflow.
+- Image management is now surfaced as an extracted `InventoryImagesStep` molecule with missing-image status and direct links to the existing upload/processing manager route.
 - Public catalog sorting now supports latest manual/calculated market value low-to-high and high-to-low, with null values placed last.
 - Public catalog filters now collapse behind an accessible mobile disclosure, show an active-filter count, and provide a reset action while preserving URL synchronization.
