Changelog

2026-04-17 — Multi-layer on-call

A complete rebuild of on-call to match (and exceed) PagerDuty/BetterStack:

• Layers — stack Primary, Secondary, Manager, etc. on one schedule. Each layer has its own rotation, timezone, and handoff schedule.
• Restrictions — gate a layer to weekday business hours, weekends only, or a custom day/hour window (with overnight support).
• Fixed shifts — schedule one-off coverage (vacation, holidays) without disrupting the underlying rotation.
• Overrides — instant "I'll take this page" reassignment that wins over everything.
• Pure-function resolver — 45 unit tests, deterministic outputs, easy to reason about.
• Layered timeline modal — see who's on at any future time, with reason (override / fixed / rotation).
