Constructing the tree is where parent links, chief positions and number
ranges get wired up wrongly without anyone noticing — a team under the wrong
Bereich looks perfectly plausible in the org chart. So the construction is a
pure function taking an id generator, and the checks that matter are asserted
rather than eyeballed: exactly one root, every unit's parent of the expected
type, every unit reaching the root, one chief position per unit, unique
numbers in the right ranges, and every position pointing at a real unit and
a real job.
Also introduces the job catalogue this model needs. job_title was free text
per person, so "Schlosser:in" and "Schlosser" could coexist and no breakdown
by occupation was possible; jobs are now deduplicated by title and shared
across positions.
Every Abteilung gets a chief position, which is the level the old three-table
model had no room for.
Correction to the previous commit message: it claimed the cut-over could
follow later while the old tables kept working. It cannot. The legacy
resolve_manager_for() finds a Bereichsleitung by "division_id = X and
team_id is null and org_level = 1", and an Abteilungsleitung satisfies the
same predicate — its LIMIT 1 would then pick one of the two arbitrarily. The
two models cannot both be correct once the new level is populated, so the
remaining work is a single cut across the 11 RPCs that read the legacy
columns, not a gradual migration.
The org structure was three fixed tables — divisions -> departments ->
teams — with people hanging directly off them and a hand-maintained
manager_id. The depth was therefore wired into the schema: an Abteilungsleitung
could not exist without a migration, and a team directly under a Bereich not
at all. That is what this replaces.
The SAP OM object types, one table each:
O org_units recursive over parent_id
C jobs catalogue, so many positions can share a job
S om_positions belongs to exactly one org unit
P employees existing table
A012 om_positions.is_chief "ist Leiter von"
A008 position_assignments "Inhaber ist", time-dependent
Two consequences worth stating, because they are the point of the exercise:
- GF/Bereich/Abteilung/Team are now a label (unit_type), not a structure.
Adding a fifth level, or hanging a team straight off a Bereich, becomes a
data question rather than a migration.
- Nobody hangs off an org unit any more: person -> position -> unit. A
vacancy stops being its own concept — it is a position with no current
assignment.
The reporting line is derived rather than stored: an ordinary position
reports to the chief of its own unit, a chief to the chief of the parent
unit, and if that chief is vacant or on a long-term absence it keeps
climbing. An unfilled Abteilungsleitung therefore needs no special case —
it is simply skipped. Both ids come back, formal and acting, so the UI can
show a stand-in as a stand-in instead of passing it off as the real manager.
The rule exists twice, as om_reporting_lines() in SQL and
resolveReportingLines() in TypeScript, because the as-of chart computes it
per date in the app and a round trip per date change would buy nothing. Two
copies drift silently — the org chart would just show a different manager
than the export — so an integration test runs both over the whole roster and
requires identical answers, plus that every line terminates at the top.
Unit tests cover the rule itself: unfilled levels, several absent levels in
a row, nobody above, a chief who also leads the parent unit, and a cycle in
parent_id, which is an ordinary column an import could get wrong.
Additive so far. The old tables still stand and the app still reads them;
the cut-over follows.
Karenz was doing duty as the name for every kind of extended absence, but
the cases behave differently in payroll and reporting — Wochenhilfe, a
Präsenzdienst, a long sick leave and a sabbatical are not the same thing.
The concept is now called Langzeitabwesenheit and carries which kind it is.
- employees.absence_type, constrained to the thirteen kinds. start_karenz
stores it on both paths (written straight away, or parked in the
pending_org_changes payload when the absence starts later);
record_karenz_return and the karenz_return branch of
apply_due_pending_changes clear it, so a returned employee does not keep
looking like they are still away. It also reaches employee_history, the
audit log and the employee export.
- The status enum value stays 'Karenz'. Postgres can rename an enum value in
place, but every stored function body that spells it would then reference
a value that no longer exists — a dozen functions across fifteen
migrations, rewritten for a label. The mapping lives in lib/absence.ts
instead, which is the single place the UI reads the display name from.
- Where a kind is recorded the chip shows it — "Bildungskarenz" says more
than "Langzeitabwesenheit". Absences predating the field have none and
fall back to the generic name rather than to a guess, and a value outside
the list is dropped rather than echoed into the UI.
- The export prints the display name, not the raw enum: a payroll hand-off
reading "Karenz" for what the app calls Langzeitabwesenheit only causes
questions. Audit filter options keep their stored values and change only
their labels.
- The seed spreads the twelve absences across the kinds; all of them being
Karenz would leave any breakdown by kind invisible.
- Removed CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and NEXTJS_REBUILD_SUPERPROMPT.md, and
untracked .claude/ (now ignored locally via .git/info/exclude rather than
.gitignore, so the repo carries no reference to it either).
- The Next.js 16 warning that lived in AGENTS.md is kept where it is
actually useful, in the README tech-stack section.
- Source and migration comments referred to "the consolidation master
prompt" and "NEXTJS_REBUILD_SUPERPROMPT.md" by name; both now read "spec",
keeping the section numbers that made the cross-references worth having.
- README no longer lists Playwright, which is not installed, and now
describes the three test layers that actually exist.
Positions
- Removed the "Besetzen" action, the StaffInternallyModal behind it and the
now-unreachable staffPositionInternally server action: a position is filled
through the hire process, not from the positions list. Note that
transfer_employee has no position_id at all and never touched `positions`,
so with staff_position_internally out of the UI, hire_employee is the only
thing that closes a position — a transfer into an open one leaves it open.
The RPC itself is still in the database and still covered by its tests.
SVNR
- Austrian social security numbers are now validated: ten digits, weighted
check digit mod 11, and the TTMMJJ tail cross-checked against birth_date,
which is what catches a transposed date that a valid check digit would let
through. A serial whose weighted sum lands on 11 is rejected rather than
wrapped — those are never issued.
- Applies to Austrian locations only; the German/Czech/Slovenian equivalents
have their own formats and stay free-form.
- Enforced by a trigger, not inside hire_employee/change_employee_data, for
the same reason as the assignment history: both have been redefined by
half a dozen migrations. Only a *newly written* value is checked, so a
legacy number never blocks an unrelated transfer or address change.
- The seed drew a random four-digit prefix, so its check digit was right
only by chance and every seeded Austrian row would now be rejected;
it computes the check digit properly now.
Tech stack
- next 16.2.11 closes nine advisories against 16.2.10, including a
middleware/proxy bypass in App Router apps on Turbopack — proxy.ts is this
app's entry gate. RLS remains the real boundary, so the blast radius was a
blank page rather than data, but it is a patch-level fix. Also react
19.2.8, tailwind 4.3.3, lucide-react 1.26, supabase-js/ssr, postcss.
- CI runs lint, typecheck, schema/type drift, tests and build; a second job
replays every migration onto an empty database and runs the integration
suite against it, so a migration that cannot be replayed from scratch
fails here instead of during a restore.
- scripts/check-schema-types.mjs diffs the hand-written lib/supabase/types.ts
against the migrations. Reading the SQL rather than a live database keeps
Postgres out of the fast CI job. Verified in both directions.
- vitest now runs two projects: node for logic, jsdom for components. The
first component test covers the org chart expand control, which broke
earlier this session when elementsSelectable={false} made React Flow
compute pointer-events:none for the whole node; re-introducing that prop
fails three of these tests.
- Content-Security-Policy is emitted report-only. Enforcing a policy derived
from inspection rather than from violation reports risks blanking the app;
'unsafe-inline' on script-src is required until a nonce is threaded through
proxy.ts, which is a separate change.
- Fixed supabase/seed.ts, which this session's SVNR change had broken: the
extensionless "../lib/svnr" import does not resolve under Node's ESM
loader, so the seed failed at startup.
- engines pinned to node >=22 <25, tsconfig target ES2022, and the dead
test:e2e script removed (no Playwright is installed).
Data model
- employee_assignments records org placement over time (valid_from/valid_to),
written by a trigger on `employees` rather than inside each RPC: ~70
`update employees` statements spread over fifteen migrations mean per-call
bookkeeping would miss paths today and again with every future RPC. A
partial unique index enforces the one-open-interval invariant the trigger
relies on when closing the current row.
- The Organigramm gains a Stichtag (default today). Membership comes from
entry/exit/karenz, past placement from the new history, future placement
projected from pending_org_changes. Placements predating the migration are
backfilled with today's values and flagged as such in the UI, since
employee_history only ever stored free text and cannot be reconstructed.
Correctness
- Reports and exports silently truncated at PostgREST's 1000-row cap
(db.max_rows); employee_history is already past it at ~800 staff. Every
whole-table read now pages explicitly.
- XLSX date cells were a day early: ExcelJS converts a Date to an Excel
serial straight off getTime(), so a Date built at local midnight lands on
the previous day's serial in any positive-offset zone.
- Date handling is pinned to Europe/Vienna throughout, and date-only strings
are formatted without a Date round-trip. The dashboard's YTD window was
built by round-tripping a local Date through toISOString(), which shifted
it a day early and dropped 31 December entirely.
- Export routes parsed measure/group/split/eventType with unchecked `as`
casts, so an unknown value reached column headers as `undefined` and the
Content-Disposition filename. Parsed against the label maps now, with the
filename slugged as a backstop.
- toXlsx keyed columns by header text, silently dropping the second of any
two columns sharing a name — split columns take their header from data.
- The org chart tree walks had no cycle guard; nothing in the schema forbids
a manager_id cycle, and one would hang the tab rather than misreport.
- The login page reflected ?error= verbatim, letting anyone put arbitrary
text on the real sign-in screen; messages are looked up by code now.
- React Flow needs elementsSelectable on, or it sets pointer-events:none on
the whole node and the expand control stops responding.
UI
- Mobile: the shell was unusable below lg — a fixed 236px margin pushed
content off-screen with no mobile navigation at all. The sidebar is now a
drawer, dvh replaces vh, safe-area insets are honoured, inputs are 16px so
iOS stops zooming on focus, and form grids stack.
- Org chart nodes redesigned: per-kind accent stripes and icons, vacant
roles called out, expand control moved to the bottom edge carrying the
child count.
- Pagination is windowed; it previously rendered one link per page (54 for
the employee list, unbounded for the audit log).
- Positions page reduced to open positions with a single "Besetzen" action.
- The employee Organisation tab links into the org chart focused on that
person, reusing the chart's existing search-match highlighting.
Also included, uncommitted until now
- Dependants, HR notes, academic titles, split address fields, position
validity and role/employment fields, with their migrations and UI.
- Docker/compose deployment setup, data-model and security-review docs.
Reworks the app from a two-role (hr_admin/manager) model to a single
HR-only role gated by profiles.is_active, fixes transfer/promote/karenz/
reorg RPCs to actually defer future-dated changes via a new
pending_org_changes table instead of writing them immediately (applied
by a daily Vercel Cron route), makes reorg undo append-only instead of
deleting history, adds Karenz-return and history-date integrity guards,
deprecates the salary column, and adds explicit schema grants + perf
indexes needed to run against a fresh (non-hosted) Postgres instance.
Adds vitest unit + integration test suites (the latter against a real
local Supabase instance) covering all of the above, plus lint/typecheck/
build wiring (`npm run check`).
Feature requests from live use:
- "Daten aendern" was missing a "Wirksam ab" field (unlike Versetzen/
Befoerdern/Karenz, which all have one) - every change was silently
logged with today's date. Added the field, threaded through
change_employee_data (defaults to today if omitted).
- Staatsbuergerschaft and Wohnland now use a searchable picker
(components/ui/CountryPicker) over the full 193-country UN member
state list (lib/countries.ts) instead of the original ~9/5-value
picklists. Dropped the now-too-narrow CHECK constraints
(supabase/schema_2.sql) since the app is the source of truth for
valid values, same approach used elsewhere for large open-ended
pickers.
Two more real bugs found via live testing of the above (both in
change_employee_data, supabase/functions.sql + functions_4.sql):
1. `text[] || 'literal'` is ambiguous in Postgres - it can resolve to
the array||array overload and try to parse the plain word as array
syntax ('{...}'), failing with "malformed array literal". Hit on
every single field-diff line the moment a user actually changed
something (Staatsbuergerschaft first, then Beschaeftigungsausmass
confirmed the same root cause). Fixed everywhere by switching to the
unambiguous array_append() function.
2. The contract_end_date diff-check cast an empty string straight to
date ("invalid input syntax for type date: ''") instead of using the
same nullif(...,'')::date guard the UPDATE line below it already had.
Verified live end-to-end after both fixes: changed Staatsbuergerschaft
to Brasilien with a backdated effective date, save succeeded, Stammdaten
tab reflects it, and employee_history got the correct event_date
("2026-07-01") and description ("Geänderte Felder: Staatsbürgerschaft,
wirksam ab 2026-07-01"). Reverted the test employee's data back
afterward; seed data is clean again.
- components/orgchart/: 3-way segmented view sharing one server fetch
(switching tabs doesn't refetch):
- EmployeeTree: expand/collapse hierarchy from the CEO down, search with
auto-expand-to-match and highlighting, "Bereiche anzeigen" /
"Alles einklappen".
- PositionTree: models the org *structure* (GF -> Bereichsleitung ->
Abteilung -> Teamleitung -> grouped IC positions by title, expandable
to the actual holders) independent of who's currently in it, plus
dashed rows for open requisitions linking to /positions.
- ReorgWorkbench: batch multiple moves (employees / whole team / whole
department / whole division as source, always a specific team as
target), live headcount-impact table, apply via the existing
apply_reorg RPC, and an undo card wired to undo_reorg.
Bug found via live apply+undo testing: undo_reorg's cleanup DELETE on
employee_history silently matched zero rows, because that table has no
DELETE policy at all (by design, for audit immutability) - RLS filters
DELETE-eligible rows to none rather than erroring. Added
supabase/functions_3.sql: a policy scoped to hr_admin deleting only rows
that carry a reorg_scenario_id, so every other history event type stays
genuinely immutable. Verified live: apply moves an employee and updates
the headcount table correctly; undo reverts team/division/manager AND
now actually removes the Reorganisation history entries it created.
Simplification flagged here (not hidden): the spec's "Ganzes Team /
Ganze Abteilung / Ganzer Bereich" reorg moves the structural org unit
itself to a new division; this implementation resolves all four move
kinds down to individual employee moves against a specific target team,
since the schema's team->department->division chain doesn't support
freely reparenting a team object without also picking a department. The
workbench UI, headcount-impact math, and apply/undo all work correctly
under this model - only the exact "move the team as a unit" semantics
differs from the literal spec wording.
- components/hire/: 4-step Hire Wizard (Person/Position/Vertrag/
Zusammenfassung) matching sec4.4, with a HireWizardProvider context so it
can be opened both from the global "+ Neueinstellung" button and from a
"Fortsetzen" link on a saved draft.
- actions/hireDrafts.ts: save/delete hire_drafts (owner-scoped RLS already
in place from Phase 1). Dashboard now shows the "Entwuerfe" card the
Phase 1 plan deferred, since the wizard it depends on now exists.
- lib/positions.ts: shared open-positions loader (position number, org
breadcrumb, resolved manager name) used by both the wizard and (later)
the Positions page.
Two real bugs found via live testing and fixed in supabase/functions.sql:
1. hire_employee/rehire_employee: a two-branch CASE returning bare string
literals defaults to `text`, not the target enum, so `status = case
when ... then 'Geplant' else 'Aktiv' end` failed against the
employment_status column. Fixed with an explicit ::employment_status
cast on the whole CASE expression.
2. Postgres precedence gotcha: ->> and || sit at the *same* precedence
tier and left-associate, so `payload->>'first_name' || ' ' ||
payload->>'last_name'` does not group the way it reads - it tries to
apply ->> to an intermediate text value and fails with "operator does
not exist: text ->> unknown". Fixed by parenthesizing every ->>'...'
expression that participates in a || chain.
Also fixed: hire_employee referenced v_position.title outside the branch
that assigns v_position, raising "record not assigned" whenever a hire
wasn't tied to a position_id; extracted a v_job_title variable instead.
Verified live end-to-end: wizard search -> select position -> submit
creates the employee, closes the position, and writes matching
employee_history + audit_log rows atomically.
- supabase/functions.sql, functions_2.sql: Postgres RPCs for every
employee/position/reorg mutation (hire, terminate, transfer, promote,
start/adjust/return karenz, change data, rehire, create position, staff
internally, apply/undo reorg). Each resolves manager_id server-side,
writes history + audit atomically, and enforces hr_admin via
require_hr_admin() (backed by the existing RLS policy).
- actions/employees.ts, positions.ts, reorg.ts: Server Actions wrapping
the RPCs, returning success/error for client-side toast handling.
- Employees list (search/filter/pagination) and detail (4 tabs: Stammdaten,
Vertrag & Gehalt, Organisation, Historie) reading from employees_directory.
- 6 action slide-over panels: Transfer, Promote, Karenz (start/adjust/
return), Daten aendern (person+contract diffing), Terminate (with direct-
report reparenting warning + offboarding checklist), Rehire.
- lib/org.ts: shared division/department/team/location lookups.
Verified live: promote mutation updates salary, writes history/audit, and
the detail page reflects it after refresh, no console errors.
Note: the spec's Karenz-verwalten panel only covers employees already on
Karenz; added a start-Karenz mode (Karenzbeginn/geplante Rueckkehr) to
cover the Aktiv-employee case implied by the header button but not
specified in the panel list.
