Erster Schritt weg von Supabase hin zu "läuft auf jedem PostgreSQL".
Gemessen sitzt die Kopplung nicht dort, wo der Begriff "Supabase-Projekt"
sie vermuten lässt: das Schema ist reines PostgreSQL, und von 58 RLS-Policies
rufen nur fünf auth.uid() direkt auf. Die übrigen 53 gehen über is_hr_user().
Diese eine Funktion ist die Brücke — wird sie umgelegt, folgt der Rest.
Die Migration legt sie um. app_current_user_id() liest jetzt zuerst
current_setting('app.user_id') und fällt nur ersatzweise auf auth.uid()
zurück. Deshalb plpgsql statt language sql: eine SQL-Funktion wird beim
Anlegen geparst, und auth.uid() gibt es auf einem gewöhnlichen PostgreSQL
nicht — die Migration liesse sich dort gar nicht erst anwenden. Der
Ausnahmeblock fängt das ab, und damit läuft dieselbe Migration auf beiden
Systemen. Der Rückfall verschwindet mit der Abschlussmigration.
Dazu app_users als Nachfolger von auth.users, external_id ist die oid des
Anbieters statt der E-Mail: eine Namensänderung darf kein zweites Konto
erzeugen.
Die neue Zugriffsschicht ist Kysely auf einem pg-Pool. Was daran zählt, ist
nicht der Query-Builder, sondern was er verhindert:
- Die Kysely-Instanz wird nicht exportiert. Wer abfragen will, geht durch
withUser() — und das öffnet immer eine Transaktion.
- set_config(..., true) ist transaktionslokal. Ohne das dritte Argument
bliebe die Kennung an der gepoolten Verbindung kleben und die nächste
Anfrage liefe im Namen der vorherigen Person. In einer Personaldatenbank.
- Eine ESLint-Regel verbietet den Import von pg und von lib/db/pool
ausserhalb von lib/db. Nachgewiesen: eine Testdatei mit beiden Importen
erzeugt zwei Fehler.
- Einen privilegierten Zugang gibt es nicht mehr. asSystem() benutzt
dieselbe Rolle ohne BYPASSRLS; was ohne angemeldete Person laufen darf,
muss als SECURITY-DEFINER-Funktion in der Datenbank stehen.
tests/integration/session-context.test.ts läuft gegen einen Pool mit genau
einer Verbindung — sonst träfe er die Lücke mal und mal nicht. Er prüft, dass
nach Commit *und* nach Rollback nichts an der Verbindung zurückbleibt, und
belegt in einer Gegenprobe, dass eine Einstellung ohne Transaktion tatsächlich
hängen bleibt. Ein Sicherheitstest, der sich mangels DATABASE_URL selbst
überspringt, wäre schlimmer als keiner: in der CI schlägt schon das Fehlen
des Verbindungsstrings fehl.
Beim Schreiben der Migration stellte sich heraus, dass die Policies
hire_drafts_owner und saved_reports_owner heissen, nicht _own. Mit dem
geratenen Namen hätte drop policy nichts getroffen und create policy wäre mit
"already exists" abgebrochen.
Typecheck, Lint und 182 Tests sind grün. Die Anwendung läuft unverändert
weiter — sie benutzt die neue Schicht noch nicht.
Projekt-Ref, Entra-Client- und Tenant-ID standen im Klartext in der
SSO-Anleitung. Geheimnisse sind das nicht — ohne Schlüssel gibt eine
Projekt-URL nichts her, und RLS greift unabhängig davon. Sie zeigen aber auf
die laufende Umgebung, und dieses Repository wandert weiter als sie: es geht
gleich auf einen eigenen Git-Server und später an den Kunden.
Jetzt Platzhalter; die Werte gehören in die Übergabedokumentation. In der
Historie stehen sie weiterhin — das sauber zu entfernen hiesse, die Historie
neu zu schreiben, und das passiert nicht nebenbei.

package.json declares engines: node >=22 <25; npm writes that into the
lockfile on the next install. Committing it keeps a fresh clone from
producing a diff on the first npm ci.

Der Security Advisor meldete 34 Warnungen; nach dem Festnageln des
search_path sind es zehn. Von diesen zehn ist eine einzige ein echter Befund
— aber die hätte man in den 34 nicht gesehen.
search_path (34 Warnungen)
Alle betroffenen Funktionen sind SECURITY INVOKER, laufen also mit den
Rechten der aufrufenden Person; ein manipulierter Pfad bringt dort nichts zu
holen. Die vier DEFINER-Funktionen setzen ihn längst. Festgenagelt wird es
trotzdem, für den Tag, an dem jemand eine davon auf SECURITY DEFINER
umstellt, weil eine Mutation an RLS vorbei schreiben muss — dann wäre es eine
Rechteausweitung, und an den search_path denkt in dem Moment niemand.
Als Schleife statt als Liste von 34 Signaturen: die würde beim nächsten
Umbau veralten. Sie lässt Erweiterungen in Ruhe (pg_trgm legt show_trgm und
show_limit ebenfalls in public ab) und prüft am Ende selbst nach. pg_temp
steht ausdrücklich am Pfadende — ohne die Angabe durchsucht Postgres das
temporäre Schema zuerst, und dort darf jede Sitzung anlegen, was sie will.
Ausführungsrechte (8 Warnungen)
Hier trennt sich der Befund vom Rauschen, und zwar durch Messen mit dem
anon-Schlüssel gegen die laufende Datenbank:
anon.rpc(is_hr_user) -> false
anon.rpc(current_hr_user_id) -> null
anon.rpc(apply_due_pending_changes) -> 0
Die ersten beiden bleiben offen, und das ist keine Nachlässigkeit: sie werden
aus den RLS-Policies heraus aufgerufen, und ein Policy-Ausdruck wird mit den
Rechten der abfragenden Rolle ausgewertet. Ohne EXECUTE scheitert jede
Abfrage auf jeder Tabelle. Preisgegeben wird nichts — beide nehmen keine
Argumente und beantworten nur eine Frage über die aufrufende Person selbst.
Der dritte ist der Befund. apply_due_pending_changes() wendet vorgemerkte
Versetzungen, Beförderungen und Abwesenheiten an, ist SECURITY DEFINER,
umgeht damit RLS — und war ohne Anmeldung aufrufbar. Der anon-Schlüssel steht
im ausgelieferten Browser-Bündel. Der Schaden wäre begrenzt, weil nur ohnehin
fällige Änderungen angewandt werden, aber es ist ein Schreibpfad für Fremde
und macht das Geheimnis der Cron-Route wirkungslos. Entzogen für anon und
authenticated; die Route benutzt die service_role und läuft weiter.
rls_auto_enable() stammt nicht aus diesen Migrationen und wird nirgends
aufgerufen. Der Entzug ist risikolos und beantwortet die Frage, was sie tut,
notfalls mit einer klaren Fehlermeldung.
Zwei Warnungen bleiben bewusst stehen
pg_trgm in public trägt die Operatorklasse gin_trgm_ops, auf der zwei
GIN-Indizes auf employees liegen. Ein Schemawechsel müsste Indizes und jeden
search_path mitziehen — Risiko für eine Konvention, keine Rechteausweitung.
„Leaked Password Protection" ist gegenstandslos: die Passwort-Anmeldung ist
abgeschaltet, eine Anmeldung gegen die API antwortet mit
email_provider_disabled. Es gibt kein Passwort, das kompromittiert sein
könnte.
Die Anmeldung läuft über das Firmenkonto. Supabase Auth bleibt dabei die
Sitzungsverwaltung — Entra ist der Anbieter, nicht der Ersatz. Genau deshalb
ist der Eingriff klein: auth.uid() liefert weiterhin eine UUID, profiles.id
trägt weiterhin role und is_active, und damit bleiben is_hr_user() und alle
58 RLS-Policies unverändert gültig. Die Sicherheitsgrenze wandert nicht in
den Anwendungscode.
Der Passwort-Pfad ist weg, nicht deaktiviert. Ein zweiter Anmeldeweg neben dem
Firmenkonto hebelt jede Vorgabe des Mandanten aus — Mehrfaktor, bedingten
Zugriff, Sperrung beim Austritt.
Dazu die Rückweg-Route /auth/callback, die den PKCE-Code gegen eine Sitzung
tauscht, und eine Ausnahme im Proxy: ohne sie leitet der Gate den Code nach
/login um, weil es die Sitzung ja erst danach gibt, und die Anmeldung kommt
nie zustande. Ob jemand HR-Zugriff hat, entscheidet weiterhin nicht die Route,
sondern profiles.role/is_active und darunter die Policies.
Zwei Werkzeuge für die Umstellung:
- relink-profile.ts hängt eine bestehende profiles-Zeile auf die
Entra-Identität um. Ein Passwort-Konto und das Entra-Konto derselben
Person sind für Supabase zwei Benutzer mit verschiedenen IDs; ohne das
zeigt die profiles-Zeile nach der ersten SSO-Anmeldung ins Leere und man
sperrt sich aus. Die Fremdschlüssel auf auth.users wandern mit, sonst
stünde in der Historie eine Kennung ohne Konto dahinter.
- entra-claims.ts zeigt, was der Anbieter tatsächlich mitgeschickt hat.
Die geplante Freischaltung über eine Entra-Gruppe hängt daran, wie der
Anspruch heisst und aussieht, und das unterscheidet sich je nach
Tokenkonfiguration des Mandanten. Der Trigger wird erst danach gebaut,
sonst wäre er geraten.
Beim Auswerten der Gruppe später gilt: die Quelle ist auth.identities.
identity_data, nie raw_user_meta_data. Letzteres beschreibt die angemeldete
Person über updateUser() selbst — läse die Freischaltung von dort, könnte sich
jede:r Angemeldete HR-Rechte eintragen. Steht so in docs/entra-sso.md.
Die Anmeldeseite war eine Box im leeren Rosa. Jetzt zweispaltig: links eine
Markenfläche, rechts die Anmeldung; unter 1024px fällt die Fläche weg und die
Wortmarke rückt über die Karte. Die Microsoft-Schaltfläche ist bewusst nicht
mehr in der Hausfarbe — magenta las sich als Aktion *innerhalb* dieser
Anwendung, während sie auf eine fremde Anmeldeseite springt. Weiss mit
grauem Rand ist Microsofts eigene Vorgabe und das Muster, das man
wiedererkennt. Dazu ein Wartezustand für den Sprung und eine Fehlermeldung,
die erklärt, was zu tun ist, statt nur "Kein HR-Zugriff" zu behaupten.
Nachgemessen im laufenden Server statt geschätzt: 656/624 auf 1280px,
Markenfläche in brand-700, Schaltfläche 45px hoch, kein Querlauf auf 375px.
Typecheck, Lint, Build und 182 Tests sind grün.
Die Datenbank stand seit dem Cut-over auf org_units/om_positions/
position_assignments, die Anwendung fragte weiter nach employees.division_id,
team_id und manager_id — Spalten, die es nicht mehr gab. Die Oberfläche war
deshalb leer, obwohl die Daten vollständig da waren. Das ist jetzt behoben,
und zwar nicht durch Nachbau der alten Begriffe, sondern indem sie verschwinden.
Neu ist eine dünne Schicht, die die Verkettung Person → Besetzung →
Planstelle → Einheit einmal auflöst (lib/placement.ts) und der Baum als reine
Funktionen darauf (lib/org.ts): Vorfahrenkette, Teilbaum, Brotkrume. Alles
Weitere hängt daran.
Was sich dadurch von selbst erledigt hat:
- Das Organigramm musste drei Quellen versöhnen, weil keine den ganzen
Zeitstrahl abdeckte. position_assignments ist zeitabhängig, also
beantwortet eine Abfrage "wer besetzte am Stichtag welche Planstelle" —
für Vergangenheit und Zukunft gleichermassen. Wer keine Planstelle hatte,
war nicht da; eine zweite Zugehörigkeitsregel braucht es nicht mehr.
- Die Struktursicht war auf genau vier Ebenen verdrahtet und rendert jetzt
rekursiv über parent_id. Liste und Grafik entstehen aus *einem* Baum;
vorher lag dieselbe Hierarchie zweimal vor und konnte auseinanderlaufen.
- Eine offene Stelle ist keine eigene Tabelle mehr, sondern eine Planstelle
ohne laufende Besetzung — das Komplement kann nicht aus dem Tritt geraten.
- Eine Versetzung ist der Wechsel auf eine Zielplanstelle statt Zielteam
plus frei getipptem Titel. Sie kann damit nicht mehr dort landen, wo es
keine Stelle gibt, und die Tätigkeit kommt aus dem Job-Katalog.
- Beim Anlegen einer Planstelle entfällt die Suche nach der vorgesetzten
Person: sie ergibt sich aus der Einheit, die Frage kann nicht mehr falsch
beantwortet werden.
Zwei Auswertungen werden dabei richtiger, nicht nur anders. Ein
Stichtagsbericht gruppierte bisher nach der *heutigen* Zuordnung, weil es
keine Historie gab; er löst sie jetzt zum Stichtag auf. Und ein Ereignis
trägt die Einheit, in der die Person am Tag des Ereignisses sass — vorher
stand ein Austritt von vor zwei Jahren unter einem Team, in das sie nie
versetzt worden war. Der Bereichsfilter greift überall auf den ganzen
Teilbaum; auf den Bereich allein angewandt lieferte er nur die
Bereichsleitung.
Gelöscht: die Reorganisations-Werkbank samt Szenarien und Zügen (sie
verschob Teams und Abteilungen zwischen Bereichen — Objekte, die es nicht
mehr gibt; im OM-Modell ist das ein Umhängen von parent_id), die
Mitarbeiter- und Vorgesetztensuche, die nur sie und die Ausschreibung
brauchten, und aus lib/supabase/types.ts die Tabellen divisions,
departments, teams, positions und employee_assignments.
Die beiliegende Migration räumt die Datenbank entsprechend auf. Sie entfernt
auch Funktionen, die der Cut-over verfehlt hat: create_position,
delete_position und undo_reorg existierten zusätzlich in einer
jsonb-Variante und tauchen deshalb weiter in der PostgREST-Schnittstelle auf,
obwohl ihre Tabellen weg sind — ein Aufruf wäre erst zur Laufzeit
gescheitert. An ihre Stelle treten create_position und delete_position im
OM-Sinn; letzteres schliesst eine früher besetzte Planstelle, statt sie zu
löschen, sonst verschwände mit ihr die Besetzungshistorie.
Typecheck, Lint, Build und 182 Tests sind grün. Die Integrationstests sind
mitgezogen, aber weiterhin ungelaufen — dafür braucht es eine laufende
lokale Datenbank.
Alle Daten gelöscht und neu aufgebaut: 60 Organisationseinheiten, 133 Jobs,
823 Planstellen, 852 Personen, 852 Besetzungen. Die Anmeldekonten bleiben
stehen — ein Seed, der sich selbst aus der Anwendung aussperrt, ist keiner.
Der Baum kommt aus buildOrg(); der Seed entscheidet nur noch, wer welche
Planstelle besetzt. Damit fällt die halbe Datei weg: keine division_id,
team_id, manager_id, org_level, is_lead mehr auf der Person.
Zwei Dinge, die das Altmodell nicht abbilden konnte, stehen jetzt bewusst in
den Daten:
- Vakanz ist eine Planstelle ohne laufende Besetzung, keine eigene Tabelle.
14 Planstellen sind heute unbesetzt, drei davon mit einem Eintritt in der
Zukunft — die Besetzung beginnt später, die Planstelle existiert schon.
- Ausgetretene sind Vorgänger:innen auf heute besetzten Planstellen, nicht
Karteileichen an einem Team. Vorher liessen sie deren Planstellen als
vakant erscheinen.
Drei Teamleitungen sind unbesetzt und zwei langzeitabwesend, damit die
Hochroll-Regel überhaupt Daten hat: 76 der 809 Berichtslinien weichen von der
formalen ab. Genau eine Person hat keine Vorgesetzte, die Geschäftsführung.
Beim ersten scharfen Lauf hat der SVNR-Trigger mitten im Einfügen abgebrochen,
mit bereits geleerter Datenbank. Ursache war nicht die Prüfziffer, sondern
isoDate(): es ging über toISOString(), während makeSvNummer die lokalen
Datumsteile liest. In Österreich verschiebt das jedes Datum um einen Tag — das
gespeicherte Geburtsdatum passte nicht mehr zu dem in der SV-Nummer codierten.
isoDate rechnet jetzt lokal, wie der Rest des Seeds auch.
Damit so etwas nicht wieder erst die Datenbank leerräumt: pruefeInvarianten()
läuft *vor* dem Löschen und prüft, was sonst erst die Unique-Indizes und
Trigger abfangen — doppelte Besetzungen, überlappende Historie, Ereignisse
nach dem Austritt, und jede SV-Nummer gegen ihr Geburtsdatum. Mit --dry-run
schreibt der Seed gar nichts und meldet nur, was entstehen würde.
The mapping table was declared ON COMMIT DROP. In the Supabase SQL editor
the transaction boundaries are not ours to assume, and a mapping table that
vanished between the two inserts would leave positions without assignments
and be miserable to diagnose. It is now dropped explicitly once both inserts
have run.
docs/azure-migration.md is the design for the Azure move, for review before
any code changes.
Its main finding corrects what I said when I laid out the options: I claimed
that dropping Supabase would push the security boundary into application
code. It does not. auth.uid() appears 70 times, but only one of them matters
— inside is_hr_user(), which all 58 policies call. Swapping the source of
the user id there leaves every policy valid, so the database stays the
boundary.
The risk moves elsewhere, and the design says so plainly: the user id
arrives via set_config(..., true), which is transaction-local. Outside a
transaction it sticks to the pooled connection, and the next request on that
connection runs as the previous user. So the plan makes that structurally
impossible — a single access function that owns the transaction, a lint rule
against importing the pool anywhere else, a database role without BYPASSRLS
so a missing context returns nothing rather than everything, and a test that
sends two requests over one pooled connection to prove the second cannot see
the first.
One script for the Supabase SQL editor. It transforms rather than wipes:
divisions/departments/teams become org_units, every employee gets a position
and an assignment, so the org chart is populated the moment it finishes.
The Abteilungsleitung positions are created *vacant*. Nobody holds them, and
inventing holders would be worse than a visible gap — the upward rule skips
an unfilled chief, so the reporting line stays unbroken either way.
Mutations are rewritten onto the model. The reporting line is derived now,
which removes manager bookkeeping from all of them: terminate_employee no
longer reassigns direct reports at all, because they roll up on their own.
Transfer becomes what it is in OM — end one assignment, begin another.
apply_reorg, undo_reorg, create_position, delete_position and
staff_position_internally are dropped rather than rewritten: they need the
UI to move to org units first, so rewriting them now would be guesswork.
Those screens are out until the port.
Written by inspection, not by running it — Docker is not up and the project
is not linked, so this is unverified SQL. Re-reading the first draft caught
five defects that would each have aborted it: a window function inside a
JOIN condition, a jobs insert placed after the positions referencing it,
row_number() computed twice for a mapping that has to agree, a DROP VIEW
naming a view that does not exist while the real one (employees_directory)
depends on the columns being dropped, and exit_date = entry_date violating
the assignment range check. There may be more.
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.
While somebody is on a long-term absence their reports report to the next
management level, and it keeps rolling up until it reaches somebody present.
Derived at read time in lib/acting-manager.ts rather than written to
employees.manager_id: the absent person stays formally in charge, so the
stand-in has to be visible as a stand-in rather than quietly replacing them.
Both ids therefore travel to the UI, and both sides carry a badge — the
absent person ("Abwesend · Vertretung: X") and anyone now reporting
elsewhere ("Vertretung für Y").
Three cases the walk has to survive, all covered by tests:
- Several absent levels in a row — it keeps climbing, and still names the
*recorded* manager as the one being covered for, not the level skipped.
- Everyone above absent — it stops and keeps the recorded manager. Re-rooting
a team to the top of the chart would distort more than showing an absent
manager whose absence is labelled anyway.
- A manager_id cycle, which nothing in the schema forbids.
An absent lead needs no separate deputy field: their stand-in is simply
their own acting manager, the same one their reports moved to.
The three pending migrations have been applied, so absence_type exists and
the workaround that kept it out of this select can go. The status chip in
the list shows the specific kind again ("Bildungskarenz" rather than the
generic "Langzeitabwesenheit"), matching the detail page.
Verified against the database rather than by typecheck: employee_assignments
holds 809 rows for 809 employees with exactly one open interval each,
is_valid_svnr() agrees with the TypeScript implementation on all nine
documented cases, and the list, org-chart and detail queries all return rows.
Against the hosted database a round trip costs about as much as the queries
themselves (~90ms), so page time was dominated by how many waves ran in
sequence rather than by the SQL. Measured with the median of five runs:
- Employee list 244ms -> 101ms. It awaited loadOrgMaps and only then the
page of employees; the lookup tables are needed to label rows, not to
build the query, so both now go out together.
- Employee detail 120ms -> 62ms. Nine of the ten queries key off the id
already in the URL and had no reason to wait for the employee row. The
manager comes back as an embedded resource on that row instead of a
follow-up query, which is what makes it one wave rather than two — an
intermediate version that merely reordered the waves measured *slower*,
and the embed is the part that actually helps.
- Reports 197ms -> 180ms. Three waves became two. Modest, and worth saying
so: the snapshot query itself dominates that page, not the wave count.
Also fixes a blank employee list I caused. `absence_type` was added to the
list's explicit column list ahead of its migration, and PostgREST rejects
the *entire* query for one unknown column — so `data` came back null and the
page rendered zero of 809 employees rather than just dropping a chip label.
The column is out of that select until 20260726120000_absence_type.sql is
applied; the detail page selects "*" and shows the kind once it exists.
Verified against the real database rather than by typecheck alone, which is
what would have caught it in the first place.
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.
Visual
- `--radius: 8px` in @theme collapsed Tailwind v4's whole radius scale onto
a single value: `rounded` and `rounded-lg` both measured 8px, so a chip, an
input and a card could not be told apart. Named steps restore the
gradation (6 / 8 / 12px, measured in the browser).
- Cards were a 1px border and nothing else. Added warm, brand-tinted
elevation tokens — a neutral black shadow over the pink surface reads as
dirt — in three steps for cards, dropdowns and overlays, collected behind
components/ui/Card.tsx so the 26 hand-copied card class chains have one
definition.
- KPI tiles lead with the number and carry a tone accent; tables got denser
rows, subtle row rules (the full border strength made 800 rows read as a
grid), tabular figures in numeric columns and a brand-tinted hover.
KPI tiles now link to the view that shows what they count. Making those
links honest surfaced two reasons the numbers did not agree with their
destinations:
- The dashboard read `employees.status`, while every report derives status
from entry/exit/karenz dates. A hire whose start date had passed before
the cron ran was counted differently on the two pages. The dashboard now
uses the same derivation — and one query instead of five.
- Eintritte/Austritte counted `entry_date`/`exit_date` while the linked
report counts `employee_history`; rehire_employee sets entry_date but logs
the event as 'Wiedereintritt', so rehires were missing from the target.
Both now count history events.
- The employee list filtered on the status column, so it disagreed too. It
now filters on derived status in SQL (lib/employee-status-filter.ts). That
restates deriveStatusAsOf a second time, in a second language, so an
integration test runs both over the full roster and requires identical id
sets — drift here is otherwise invisible.
Status semantics, per the domain correction: "aktiv" means status Aktiv
alone. Karenz is employed but not active, and has its own tile. The active
headcount, FTE (Karenz contributes no capacity) and the division bars all
follow that; the bars are labelled "Aktive nach Bereich" rather than
"Headcount" to say so. The employee filter still offers the combination,
named after the two statuses it selects instead of calling the pair active.
DEFAULT_STATUSES in lib/reports.ts is deliberately left at Aktiv + Karenz:
it governs what the Berichte page shows without an explicit status filter,
and therefore what already-saved reports and exports mean.
Accessibility work on the UI layer, all of it rooted in one structural gap:
there were no form primitives, so every field was hand-assembled and every
field got the same details wrong.
Form primitives
- components/ui/Field.tsx (Field/TextField/SelectField/TextareaField) and
Button.tsx. Field generates the control id with useId and derives htmlFor
from it, which is what makes the association impossible to omit rather
than merely conventional.
- 92 labels existed, 4 used htmlFor, and no input carried an id at all: a
screen reader announced an unnamed edit box and clicking a label focused
nothing. Now every label resolves to its control (0 unassociated), and the
input class chain that appeared verbatim 85 times appears zero times.
- Field also takes a render prop, so Lookup, CountryPicker and Picklist get
the same wiring instead of a second, partial solution.
- SearchInput replaces three hand-rolled copies of the icon-in-a-box search
whose input had only a placeholder — not a label — and killed its own
focus ring with outline-none and nothing in its place.
- Toggle groups (workdays, reorg change type) became fieldsets with
aria-pressed; colour alone was carrying the selected state.
Comboboxes
- Lookup and CountryPicker were text inputs with a div of clickable buttons
underneath: typeable, but no keyboard path to a result and nothing telling
a screen reader a list had appeared. Both now carry role=combobox,
aria-expanded/controls/activedescendant and listbox semantics, with arrow
keys, Enter and Escape. Escape stops propagation, or it would close the
surrounding dialog along with the dropdown.
Dialogs
- useDialogFocus centralises what Modal and SlideOver each owed the
keyboard and neither provided beyond Escape: focus into the dialog on
open, Tab and Shift+Tab cycling within it, focus restored to the trigger
on close.
- SlideOver stays mounted for its transition, and aria-hidden does not
remove anything from the tab order — so every closed panel was leaving
invisible tab stops at the end of the page. `inert` fixes that.
Route states
- loading.tsx, error.tsx, not-found.tsx and global-error.tsx. Every page in
the (app) group is server-rendered per request, so without loading.tsx a
navigation showed nothing at all until the server answered, and a render
error dropped the user on Next's own screen with no way back.
Tests
- 22 component tests (vitest jsdom project). Two of them found limits of the
environment rather than of the code: jsdom implements neither `inert` nor
scrollIntoView, so the inert test asserts the attribute and the missing
scrollIntoView — which was taking the whole render down from inside an
effect — is stubbed in the setup file.
- 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.
Adds the Berichte export pipeline (/api/export/{report,events,employees})
with shared CSV/XLSX writers in lib/export.ts and lib/reports-data.ts.
Security pass alongside it: sanitize .or() search terms against PostgREST
filter injection, sanitize spreadsheet cells against CSV/Excel formula
injection, stop leaking raw DB error messages to clients, harden the
service-role client with server-only, add baseline security headers, and
bump the vulnerable nested postcss via an override.
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`).
Bumped React, Supabase JS, and type packages to latest patch/minor releases.
Migrated the Tailwind pipeline from the v3 JS-config format to v4's CSS-first
@theme setup (@tailwindcss/postcss, @import "tailwindcss" in globals.css),
removing tailwind.config.ts and autoprefixer since v4 handles both natively.
All existing color/radius/font tokens were ported 1:1 so no component classes
needed to change. TypeScript and ESLint were bumped and tested against their
true latest majors (7.x and 10.x) but both broke the build/lint pipeline, so
they're pinned to the latest working minor instead (TypeScript 5.9.3, ESLint
9.39.5).
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.
Reports (§4.8):
- lib/reports.ts: generic server-side aggregation engine over 9 measures
(Headcount, FTE, Eintritte, Austritte, Ø Bruttogehalt, Teilzeitquote,
Ø Alter, Ø Zugehoerigkeit, Frauenanteil) x 10 group-by dimensions, with
an optional second-dimension split (disabled for average-type
measures) and per-row drill-down data.
- app/(app)/reports/page.tsx: reads filters from the URL, fetches the
matching employees_directory rows server-side, aggregates in Node
(not shipped raw to the client), computes the total.
- ReportsPageClient: measure/group/split/filter controls, 6 preset
chips, saved-reports list (actions/reports.ts), CSV export
(client-side blob download), stacked bars with a color-keyed legend
when split is active, and click-to-drill-down into the underlying
people (capped at 12, "+N weitere", linking to /employees/[id]).
Audit log (§4.9):
- app/(app)/audit/page.tsx + AuditFilters: search (target/details/actor)
+ action-type filter, paginated table with colored action badges,
row links to the affected employee when target_employee_id is set,
and the required "unveraenderbar" footer note.
This completes every route from the spec's information architecture:
Dashboard, Mitarbeiter:innen (list+detail), Organigramm (3 views),
Positionen & Bereiche, Berichte, Audit-Log, plus the Hire wizard and all
6 action panels reachable from them.
Final verification: clean npm run build + tsc --noEmit, then a full
browser walkthrough of all 6 authenticated routes as hr_admin (zero
console errors, zero 5xx responses) and a role-check pass as the
manager test account confirming action buttons and the "+ Neueinstellung"
button are hidden, and salary is masked as "... (ausgeblendet)" on the
Vertrag & Gehalt tab. Swept the database for leftover test data from
the debugging sessions above - none found, seed data is clean.
- 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.
