2024-10-30 Scheduler and navigation ergonomics

Details of Hotpot release for 2024-10-30

🛠️ Integration improvements

A lot of underlying integration code for webhooks has been cleaned up to make for a more effortless experience for you and us!

🕵️‍♀️ Prepare and handoff improvements

The header for prepare and handoff steps has been improved to make navigation easier and to remove unhelpful tabs.

🗓️ Scheduler improvements

We're back again with even more improvements to how dates are entered for coverage and availability. When start times are later than end times, we will update them and pulse a bit to show you that we're helping!

Resolving scheduler issues is now a per-occurrence operation instead of presenting you with all of a stints problems at once. This not only improves the ergonomics, but also the error handling and other parts that might've tripped up someone trying to claim a single assignment.

If nobody on the team is available, we warn you and let you pick someone anyway. With great power something, something.
The count of "attention" items in the header nav now includes more situations.
The schedule page's filter for "interesting" has been adjusted to be less verbose about simple swaps in coverage.
Question mark avatars are now shown for unassigned time, making it clear that nobody is there!
Cursed daylight savings time has been explained to our mini-calendar. It was touch and go for a while, but it eventually accepted that humans don't always do rational things with time.
Clicking on today in the unavailability calendar now seeds new unavailable time.
