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.
- 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.
