HD Sports Zone Bookmark 26A-7 — First Real Draft Shift Save Prep / Explicit Gate Still Required

Prep page for the future first real draft-shift insert. This phase still performs no database write. The explicit draft-save gate remains required before any real insert can happen.

Rollback Plan

  • Keep HD_EMPLOYEE_SCHEDULE_DRAFT_SAVE_ENABLED=false until the first-write phase is intentionally approved.
  • If a future first-write phase fails, disable the gate immediately and clear Laravel caches.
  • Remove only the newest real-write route/controller from that future phase; do not delete schedule data tables.
  • Verify row counts before and after any future first-write test.
  • Keep draft save separate from publish and employee portal routes.
  • Do not add employee texts/emails until publish workflow is intentionally built later.
