Schedule lifecycle
How drafts, versions, delivery, and acceptance fit together.
| Record | Worker visible? | Mutable? |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Draft | No | Yes |
| Published Schedule Version | Yes | No |
| Successor Draft | No | Yes |
| Schedule Change | After publication | No |
| Acknowledgement | Yes | Append-only event |
| Shift Acceptance | Yes | Explicit response workflow |
Publication is the boundary between planning and communicated responsibility. jooling publishes the complete selection together, makes the new version current, summarizes Worker-facing differences, and prepares notifications.
A material change adds work or substantially changes when or where a Worker is expected. Inside the Notice Window, it can require Shift Acceptance. A Worker may acknowledge seeing it and still decline it.
Approved pickup, release, and swap decisions never rewrite the old snapshot; they publish a successor version.
