Publish HelperPayroll 0.4.3.0 Alpha 2

[SimGamerJen]

Scope

Publishes HelperPayroll 0.4.3.0 Alpha 2 on top of the current 0.4.2.0 Alpha 2 main branch.

HelperProfiles roster-aware payroll integration

• Keeps the permanent A–T identity set for payroll persistence and history.
• Adds a separate operational roster path driven by HelperProfiles availability.
• The HelperPayroll Workers tab shows only workers currently ON roster when HelperProfiles supplies availability state.
• OFF-roster workers retain their role mappings, inherited/custom compensation settings and ledger identity/history.
• Re-enabling a worker restores the same payroll configuration.
• Standalone operation continues to expose the normal managed worker slots when HelperProfiles is absent.

External worker sessions / AutoDrive accounting

Alpha 2 now includes a generic external-worker-session boundary for controllers that manage helpers outside g_currentMission.aiSystem.activeJobs.

• Public API raised to v5.
• Snapshot schema raised to v3.
• Adds beginExternalWorkerSession, endExternalWorkerSession, and getExternalWorkerSessions.
• External sessions snapshot helper identity, role and compensation at logical session start.
• Session duration is tracked independently of GIANTS active jobs.
• Completed sessions reuse the existing applyWorkerCharge() pipeline, including hourly/daily compensation, call-outs, minimums, onJobFinish, dailyPayroll, day-rate de-duplication and persistent ledger handling.
• Active external sessions are exposed in payroll snapshots alongside normal GIANTS AI jobs.
• The first consumer is the HelperProfiles AutoDrive continuity bridge: AutoDrive's internal release/reacquire cycles remain one payroll session; only a genuine HelperProfiles AutoDrive reservation end finishes the payroll session.

This API is intentionally generic: HelperPayroll does not depend directly on AutoDrive.

Alpha 1 work retained

• WorkerCosts incompatibility protection and runtime payroll safety block.
• Modular compatibility, farm-scope, public-API and snapshot boundaries.
• Live payroll Dashboard.
• Job-start farm ownership snapshots intended to keep later multiplayer adoption cleaner.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer remains deliberately disabled:

<multiplayer supported="false" />

The state and API boundaries are structured to make a later server-authoritative multiplayer implementation possible without making this release multiplayer-enabled.

Current verification state

The branch is still a test branch and must not be merged/released until an in-game combined AutoDrive + Courseplay test confirms:

• the Courseplay worker remains a normal GIANTS AI payroll job;
• the AutoDrive driver creates one external payroll session;
• pipe-close release/reacquire events do not split or re-bill that session;
• a genuine AutoDrive stop finishes the external session once;
• the expected helper identity/role and duration reach the ledger or pending daily payroll row.
