🐛 Bug Fixes

Critical: Settings Persistence Issue Resolved

Fixed a critical bug where Coverage Display Settings and Compliance Settings were not persisting between application restarts.

What Was Fixed:

1. Coverage Display Settings
2. Monitoring Times (start/end times for each day)
3. Minimum Daily Coverage Settings (min staff/managers per day)

4. These settings were being saved to disk but changes were not triggering auto-save due to missing dependency array entries

5. Compliance Settings

6. Maximum Consecutive Shifts
7. Minimum Rest Period Hours
8. Weekly Hours Limit
9. Same issue - fields saved but changes not triggering auto-save

Technical Details:

• Root Cause: Auto-save effect dependency array was missing maxConsecutiveShifts, minRestPeriodHours, weeklyHoursLimit, monitoringTimes, and coverageSettings
• Solution: Added all missing state dependencies to the auto-save effect dependency array (line 703 in App.jsx)
• Impact: Settings now properly trigger auto-save when modified and persist correctly across app restarts

Testing:

• ✅ All 24 core data fields verified in save payload
• ✅ All 24 core data fields verified in dependency array
• ✅ Data correctly persists to C:\Users\dwrud\AppData\Roaming\hero\data.json
• ✅ Data correctly restores on app restart
• ✅ Build verified: 2417 modules transformed in 7.50s
