VPR-255 feat(effort): clean up zero-effort data when closing a term - #385
Closing deletes zero-effort records (Hours and Weeks both 0 or null) for unverified instructors, then any zero-enrollment course left empty, with its CourseRelationships rows. If a zero-enrollment course would still have records, the close fails, the error names the courses, and nothing changes. Unverified instructors' non-zero records stay and don't block closing.
Effort belongs on the parent course, so a zero-enrollment child of a parent with effort is kept and blocks closing, the same as VIPER 1. The error reads "...have zero enrollment and effort on the course or its parent: ...". PROD has one such pair today.
It all runs in one Serializable transaction, so an edit saved during the close can't be deleted as zero effort. Deletes are audited with Reason = "TermClose", and the CloseTerm entry records the counts. The confirm dialog warns about the deletion in separate paragraphs, and the UI now shows the server's error.
Edge cases:
An empty zero-enrollment parent stays if a cross-listed child survives, and is deleted if all its children are.
The generic R-course (RESID) never blocks closing. It stays only if it has real effort.
A verified instructor's zero-effort record on a zero-enrollment course stays and blocks closing, per the ticket.
Cleanup doesn't use IsZeroEffort, which checks only Hours on non-clinical records and would treat Weeks = 1, Hours = null as zero.
Generic R-course (RES 000R-001)
Every unverified instructor in the term gets a 0-hour RES 000R-001 record as a placeholder. This needs EffortSettings:AutoCreateGenericRCourse, which is on in Dev and Test only today. The record is created:
at harvest,
when the term is reopened, since closing removes them and they can't be added by hand,
when an instructor is added to the term,
when an instructor whose records were all removed at close adds their first non-R-course record.
Details:
New rows use VAR. If VAR isn't active and allowed on R-courses, it falls back to the first allowed type by ID, as before.
Instructors with only other R-course records (such as VME 438R) now get the record too. Before, harvest skipped them.
Verified instructors are skipped: verifying already deleted their zero-effort row, and the next close wouldn't clean up a new one.
Creation is idempotent, so existing RES 000R-001 records aren't duplicated.
Instructors who already have a department R-course (such as VME 433R) still get it. If both have effort, InstructorDetail and MyEffort show a non-blocking warning that the same teaching may be counted twice.
Reopening an older term also adds these rows for its unverified instructors, even if it never had them.
Other deleted courses can be re-added with Add Course, but deleted zero-effort records aren't restored. A re-added course with zero enrollment and new effort blocks the next close until its enrollment is set.
Other changes
Child course page: the parent banner now says "Enter effort on the parent course.", matching VIPER 1. CourseDetail.vue renders the effort section once instead of twice (with and without the Evaluations tab).
R-course check bug:CrseNumb is char(5), so EndsWith('R') missed 410R . The checks now trim first.
can-close: it counts only blocking courses, and zeroEnrollmentCount is now blockingCourseCount. Nothing in VueApp/src reads it.
Shared code: harvest, reopen and instructor add all go through IRCourseService. AddRecordChangeAudit saves record audits with the rest of the close.
Unrelated EffortAuditService cleanup from review: the async audit path reuses AddAuditEntry, which drops its debug log line, and the department filter moved to WhereInDepartments.
Worth knowing
Close deletes are permanent apart from RES 000R-001, and the audit entries are the only record of them.
Reopening a term with 321 instructors took 3 to 17 seconds locally with debug logging on, with no progress indicator.
DeleteCourseAsync doesn't remove CourseRelationships, so it looks likely to fail on a cross-listed course. This PR doesn't use or change it.
Testing
Close and reopen were exercised on a local dev server against the TEST database, mainly term 202602: blocked close, close, reopen (321 VAR rows), a zero-enrollment child of a parent with effort, adding an instructor, and the child course banner.
The setting-off path has unit tests only. An edit saved during a close wasn't reproduced.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Term closure now removes eligible zero-effort records and empty courses, and reports courses that still block closure. Shared R-course logic creates generic records during Harvest, reopening, and instructor creation. The UI reports overlapping R-course effort and updates term and course views.

Summary
Cleanup eligibility and closeability web/Areas/Effort/Services/TermService.cs, web/Areas/Effort/Services/ITermService.cs, web/Areas/Effort/Controllers/TermsController.cs, test/Effort/TermServiceTests.cs
The service identifies removable records and courses, and courses that would retain effort. CanCloseTermAsync returns the blocking-course count. Tests cover cleanup, verified effort, generic-R courses, and untracked evaluation.
Closure execution and feedback web/Areas/Effort/Services/TermService.cs, web/Areas/Effort/Services/IEffortAuditService.cs, web/Areas/Effort/Services/EffortAuditService.cs, web/Areas/Effort/Controllers/TermsController.cs, test/Effort/TermServiceTests.cs, VueApp/src/Effort/pages/TermManagement.vue
Closure runs in a serializable transaction. If no blocking courses remain, it removes eligible records, courses, and relationships, then audits removals. The API returns blockingCourseCount. The UI displays returned errors and describes the stated cleanup and reopening limits.
The shared service selects unverified instructors and creates missing generic R-course records in batches. Harvest, reopening, and instructor creation call the service. Reopening passes the modifier ID and uses a distinct audit context.
The overlap utility returns active non-generic R-course codes when generic R-course effort is also present. The warning appears in staff and self effort views. Tests cover effort filtering and duplicate courses.
The effort view remains mounted while hidden on the evaluation tab. The evaluation view renders only when available. The parent-course banner instructs users to enter effort on the parent.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to c1fac
Reopening a term or running Harvest can create a placeholder with one week of effort when the configured R-course effort type is week-based, and closing a term will then keep that record. Fix the placeholder fallback before merging. The remaining items are minor: a confusing close-error banner, a rare deadlock returning a generic 500, and audit entries for bulk deletions that lack enrichment.

web/Areas/Effort/Services/TermService.cs:457-528 Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win
Propagate retained descendants through the full relationship chain.
Migration can create parent-child-grandchild chains because it inserts legacy relationships without the flat-hierarchy checks used by CourseRelationshipService. With A→B→C, where A and B are empty and C survives, this calculation keeps B but deletes A. The relationship cleanup then removes A→B, so the surviving chain loses its ancestor.
Compute the deletion set to a fixed point so every empty ancestor of a surviving descendant remains.

A remaining moderate issue shows the controller returns a raw string in 400 responses while the frontend only surfaces errors from ProblemDetails-style fields (e.g., detail/errorMessage), so the intended close-term failure message will not reliably display until the API response shape is fixed.

🟡 Changes recommended
A moderate-severity active finding notes that HarvestServiceTests no longer asserts the key behavior implied by its name/comments—specifically it lacks verification that IRCourseService.CreateForEligibleInstructorsAsync is not called when there are no eligible instructors—so the change still allows a meaningful regression to slip through.

new RES 000R-001 rows on TEST get DIS instead of VAR, because RCourseService picks the first allowed type by ID and DIS, JLC and LEC were enabled on 2026-10-30. This PR didn't cause it, and harvest does the same.
Can the auto-created RES course entry get VAR instead of DIS?
Instructors with only R-course records are skipped, as in harvest.
I'm assuming this is because the work to include all faculty even without known effort will be in another PR? Or am I misunderstanding?
- Remove zero-effort records of unverified instructors on close
- Remove zero-enrollment courses left with no effort records
- Block only when a zero-enrollment course still has effort; a blocked
close changes nothing
- Exempt the generic R-course (RESID) from blocking
- Show the server's close error instead of a generic failure message
- Create RES 000R-001 for every unverified instructor at harvest,
reopen and instructor add, using VAR when it is allowed
- Recreate the records on reopen, since closing removes them and they
cannot be added back by hand
- Skip verified instructors, whose zero-effort row verifying deleted
- Warn instructors and staff when RES 000R-001 and another R-course
both have effort
- Trim char(5) CrseNumb so R-courses are classified correctly
@bsedwards Both done. Auto-created RES rows now use VAR, and every unverified instructor gets one, even if they already have a department R-course like VME 433R. If both have effort, the instructor and staff pages show a warning (it doesn't block anything).

Do not recreate placeholders with positive effort.
When VAR is unavailable and the first allowed type uses weeks, this initializer stores Weeks = 1. The new reopen path therefore adds one week of resident teaching without instructor input. The expanded bulk path also does this for instructors with no effort records.
Use an hour-based zero-effort fallback, or skip creation with a clear warning when the schema cannot represent a zero-week placeholder. Do not manufacture positive effort to satisfy the weeks constraint.

Closes VPR-255.
Closing a term
Closing deletes zero-effort records (
HoursandWeeksboth 0 or null) for unverified instructors, then any zero-enrollment course left empty, with itsCourseRelationshipsrows. If a zero-enrollment course would still have records, the close fails, the error names the courses, and nothing changes. Unverified instructors' non-zero records stay and don't block closing.Effort belongs on the parent course, so a zero-enrollment child of a parent with effort is kept and blocks closing, the same as VIPER 1. The error reads "...have zero enrollment and effort on the course or its parent: ...". PROD has one such pair today.
It all runs in one
Serializabletransaction, so an edit saved during the close can't be deleted as zero effort. Deletes are audited withReason = "TermClose", and theCloseTermentry records the counts. The confirm dialog warns about the deletion in separate paragraphs, and the UI now shows the server's error.Edge cases:
RESID) never blocks closing. It stays only if it has real effort.IsZeroEffort, which checks onlyHourson non-clinical records and would treatWeeks = 1,Hours = nullas zero.Generic R-course (
