improvement documentation bug-fixFixed the employee-dependent relationship field to accept only the values BambooHR supports (child, spouse, domestic partner), so creating and updating dependents no longer fails with an invalid-relationship error. Clarified action guidance to match real provider behavior — the employee directory cannot filter or sort (use list employees), job summaries return job openings rather than candidate applications, custom-report fields take API field IDs sent as one array, table-row updates require exact list values, employee termination is done by adding an employmentStatus table row, project tasks can only be added when the project was created with tasks enabled, recording a used time-off history item conflicts when the approved request already has one, and time-off policy assignment sets or replaces the policy for a given time-off type (re-assigning the same policy is rejected as already-assigned). Documented time-tracking timesheet-type requirements (clock in/out needs a clock-in/out timesheet while hour entries need a total-hours timesheet) and improved time-tracking field typing and descriptions.

improvement documentation bug-fixFixed the employee-dependent relationship field to use the values BambooHR actually accepts (child, spouse, domestic partner), so creating and updating dependents no longer fails with an invalid-relationship error. Clarified several action descriptions to match real behavior — the employee directory does not accept filters or sorting (use list employees for that), job summaries return job openings rather than candidate applications, custom-report fields take API field IDs (not display labels), and table-row updates require exact list values. Documented time-tracking timesheet-type requirements (clock in/out needs a clock-in/out timesheet while hour entries need a total-hours timesheet) and improved time-tracking field typing and descriptions.

improvement documentation bug-fixOverhauled the OAuth setup guide with step screenshots, clearer portal navigation, correct button labels, an application-name example, and a masked-credential reveal step, and aligned the documented application scopes with those actually requested (deduplicated to top-level scopes, since each write scope already includes its read). Corrected several action descriptions to match real BambooHR behavior — employee name-filter and sort-field formats (plus a new jobTitleName field), routing employment-status and termination changes through the employment-status table, the employeeCompDate companion-field rule (required for exempt/payRate, not payType), a required file extension on uploads, exact-value matching for list-type fields when adding table rows, and time-off policy listing (company-wide vs per-employee) and assignment (assigning an already-held policy is a silent no-op, not an error).

breaking new-actions bug-fixStandardized several action names and folded the duplicate company-report action into request_custom_report (breaking). Added time-tracking lookup actions (projects, tasks, breaks, shift differentials, holidays) and goal alignment options, corrected field types and validation, and fixed binary file downloads and goal milestone updates.
