An employee starting 01.09. showed "Keine Führungskraft (Geschäftsführung)"
although their team has one — Josef Bauer, on chief position 60000752. The
reporting line was requested as of today, and today that person holds no
assignment, so om_reporting_lines() returned no row at all.
The database function was right; the caller asked the wrong question.
What made it look like a data problem rather than a date problem: the header
did show the unit and the position, because pickPlacements() falls back to
the next best assignment when none is current. Two notions of where someone
sits — one forgiving, one strict — sitting next to each other on the same
page.
orgAsOf() pulls the date into the employment: the first day for someone not
yet started, the last for someone who has left, today otherwise. Exit dates
are exclusive throughout the model, so the last working day is the day
before.
Anyone already gone had the same defect for the same reason, which is why
the rule covers both ends rather than special-casing the case that was
reported.
Verified against the live database: as of today no row, as of 2026-09-01 the
manager is Josef Bauer. Six unit tests over the boundaries, checked by
mutation — remove the future-entry branch and one fails.
Open positions still resolve as of today: they belong to the organisation,
not to the person whose file is open.
