Task 7: Department-Wise KPI Cycle Scoped Publish

Test Cases

ID	Scenario	Expected Result	Status
T7-01	Publish draft cycle with one entity + one department	Cycle becomes published; evaluations created only for selected scope
T7-02	Publish request includes department from another entity	Returns 422 validation error
T7-03	Cycle already published, publish remaining department scope	Publish succeeds and creates only new scope evaluations
T7-04	Re-publish same already-published scope	Returns 422 (scope already published)
T7-05	First publish timestamp and publisher	published_at and published_by_user_id set only on first publish
T7-06	Published cycle resource payload	Contains published_scopes_count and published_scopes[]
T7-07	Publish summary after scoped publish	Includes selected departments and per-run counts
T7-08	Manager/Employee attempts publish	Returns 403

Demo Walkthrough

1. Create a KPI cycle → Assign templates to 2 departments
2. Publish for Department A only → Show evaluations created for Dept A employees
3. Publish for Department B → Show new evaluations created, Dept A unchanged
4. Try re-publishing Dept A → Show 422 error
