# HR Payroll Consolidated Master — Development Status

Version: v0.39.4-dev Consolidated
Source basis: Developer v0.39.4 UAT Review2 candidate + prior independent QA/corrections.

## Completed in this consolidation cycle
- QA-096 source correction: half-day leave weekly-off/holiday validation.
- QA-097 source implementation: missing-attendance correction now enters normal approval flow through authoritative attendance reconciliation.
- QA-098 source correction: explicit clearing of incorrect punches is preserved rather than falling back to old values.
- Unified correction validation aligned with attendance status/punch consistency rules.
- Python compileall: PASS.

## Runtime gate
Django is not installed in the current execution environment, so full ORM/migration/browser tests have not yet been executed here. These source fixes must be exercised in the planned Django/PostgreSQL Local UAT environment before Production acceptance.

## Next engineering block
1. Re-audit remaining P0 findings against this consolidated source, especially final settlement/loan closure, company isolation, imports and leave-attendance reversal.
2. Freeze/generate migrations from the consolidated model state in a Django-capable environment.
3. Run clean PostgreSQL install, system checks and automated/runtime smoke tests.
4. Package first Local UAT candidate only after those gates pass.


## 2026-09-16 Financial/Control Audit Checkpoint
- Independently re-audited Final Settlement, exit-period payroll balance, loan recovery/closure, approved-leave cancellation/reconciliation, multi-company scoping helpers/report usage, and controlled CSV import flow.
- QA-033 strengthened: final settlement preparation now blocks a negative net payable instead of allowing a negative amount to enter the payable/payment workflow.
- QA-099 added and source-fixed: exit loan settlement now requires LoanAccount outstanding balance to reconcile exactly to unpaid installment totals before any exit recovery is posted or the loan is closed.
- Python compileall: PASS after corrections.
- Existing P0 static verification: all 18 source-evidence checks PASS. P1: 33 PASS. P2/P3: 18 PASS.
- Runtime/PostgreSQL proof remains pending until frozen migrations and a Django-capable test environment are available.

## 2026-09-16 Runtime/Database Readiness Checkpoint
- Python compileall remains PASS on the consolidated backend.
- Full Django test execution was attempted but is blocked in this execution environment because Django/psycopg are not installed and external package download is unavailable (DNS/network restriction). This is recorded as an environment gate, not a software PASS.
- Frozen migrations remain intentionally absent until they can be generated by Django from the exact reviewed model state.
- Linux migration-freeze tooling upgraded to match Windows evidence: preflight, drift check, migration count, SHA-256 hashes and MIGRATION-FREEZE-RESULT.txt.
- QA-100 lineage note: the prior consolidated runtime/UI metadata was aligned to v0.39.3-dev; this pre-final review refreshes current operational metadata to v0.39.4-dev Consolidated.
- DOCX/PDF manuals have now been refreshed to the current v0.39.4-dev Consolidated UAT package label; historical QA/change records retain their original version references.
- Exact next gate: run migration freeze in a Django-capable environment, then fresh PostgreSQL migrate/seed/check/verify_runtime/test before issuing the Local UAT package.

## 2026-09-16 UAT Review2 / Edit-Flow Integrity Checkpoint
- Developer-added flows reviewed: Attendance Device Edit, HR-managed Add Leave for Employee, and Pending OT/Bonus/Deduction Edit.
- Previously accepted PF/R2 corrections remained present in the Review2 candidate.
- QA-108 / R3-001: Pending OT/Bonus/Deduction Employee ownership is immutable after task creation; OPEN task company/context is revalidated and title refreshed atomically.
- QA-109 / R3-002: Pending OT now blocks Attendance Month Finalize; finalized-month OT add/edit/approval requires controlled reopen.
- QA-110 / R3-003/R3-004: Bonus/Deduction approval is blocked for non-Draft payroll periods and payroll Review/Approve/Lock/Pay is blocked while target-month OT/Bonus/Deduction remains pending.
- QA-111 / R3-005/R3-006: Workflow reviewer gets live company-scoped OT/Bonus/Deduction details; financial-input edit audit records before/after evidence.
- Attendance Device Edit now writes a non-secret configuration audit event; comm-key value is never logged.
- HR-managed Leave template now uses the correct page title.
- User Manual DOCX/PDF refreshed for the new controlled Edit/Add behavior and visually checked across all 7 rendered pages.
- Review2 developer package contained generated Python caches; corrected package removes them before integrity generation.
- No model/schema file changed in this Review3 correction set (12/12 model files byte-identical to the developer Review2 candidate).
- Source verification after corrections: compile PASS; P0 18/18, P1 33/33, P2/P3 18/18; pure payroll 4/4 and loan 3/3 tests PASS; named URL/template references have no missing targets.
- Runtime boundary remains unchanged: QA-011 migration freeze, Django/PostgreSQL Local UAT, QA-094 backup/restore, FO-M1 physical proof and parallel payroll reconciliation are still required.
