Show remaining days alongside absences

[karlitschek]

The Absences view says how many days somebody took and nothing about how many they have left. The sidebar it opens says no more — so the only way to answer the obvious follow-up was to abandon the view for the Balances report and come back.

Two places, one figure

The right-hand sidebar now shows the balance among the other facts:

Balance 2026
22 days left
of 28 days · 6 days taken
3 days awaiting a decision, leaving 19 days free to book

The headline is what's left; the workings sit under it. Pending days get their own line because they are precisely the difference between what is left and what is safe to book — the distinction that makes a balance actionable rather than just a number. The sidebar opens from Absences, Approvals, Team and My leave, so this covers all four.

The Absences rows carry the same figure inline: 2–4 Mar · 3 days · 22 days left.

Details worth flagging

The year is the one the leave starts in, not the current one. Usage is attributed the same way in BalanceService, and reporting this year's allowance beside last year's leave would describe something else entirely.

Permission-gated. canViewBalanceOf() — the same rule the balance endpoints use — so a colleague who may read a request still cannot read the allowance behind it. The lookup is skipped entirely when they may not.

Null where the question has no answer. Unpaid and special leave count against nothing, so there is no "left" to report and the block is absent rather than showing zeroes.

One query batch, not one per row. The list uses a single balances report per reload, indexed by employee and type — getBalancesForEmployees() computes the lot in a fixed number of queries, which a request per visible absence would not. With the year filter on "All years" there is no single answer, so the rows omit it.

Testing

177 tests, 497 assertions, 0 failures (3 new): that the detail carries the right year's figures, that it is withheld from someone who may not see the allowance, and that a non-counting type yields null. eslint 0 errors, stylelint clean, 27/27 vitest, build succeeds.

RequestServiceTest's service construction moved into a rebuildService() helper, so a test can reprogram a collaborator with expects() before the constructor is handed it.

Note

I could not see the screenshot referenced in the report, so I worked from the code. If by "the right hand side overview" you meant something other than the request sidebar — the stat tiles above the Balances table, say — tell me and I will follow up.
