Task 5: Employee Status Model + KPI Post-Publish Protection

Test Cases

ID	Scenario	Expected Result	Status
T5-01	Create employee with valid combos (active+probationary, active+confirmed, inactive+resigned, inactive+terminated)	Saved successfully
T5-02	Create/update employee with invalid combo (active+resigned or active+terminated)	Returns 422 with validation error
T5-03	Employee list filter by activity status	Only matching active/inactive records shown
T5-04	Employee list filter by lifecycle	Only matching lifecycle records shown
T5-05	Employee export CSV	Includes both Activity Status and Lifecycle columns
T5-06	Publish KPI cycle with mixed employee states	Evaluations created only for active+confirmed employees
T5-07	After publish, change employee to non-eligible state	Evaluation becomes non-actionable
T5-08	Try blocked actions on non-actionable evaluation	Self submit/review submit/employee response/reviewer assign/force finalize all blocked
T5-09	KPI dashboard pending/disputed/unassigned lists	Non-eligible employees are excluded from actionable counters/lists
T5-10	Regression check for eligible employee flow	active+confirmed employee can complete normal KPI workflow
