Add location context to attendance records

Where location features are enabled and the required permission is available, Vanta Workforce can add location context to the relevant attendance action.

That gives authorised managers more information when reviewing whether a booking relates to the expected workplace. GPS remains context rather than absolute proof, because device permissions, signal and operating-system behaviour can affect the location information available.

GPS and location-aware attendance still needs sensible review. Location can be delayed or inaccurate and should never be treated as infallible proof.
