AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds an "Update Overtime" action on HR contracts that recalculates overtime on the employee's attendance records for the contract period, so overtime stays correct after contract changes.

This module adds a server action called "Update Overtime" to HR contracts. It is available from the contract list and form views, and is restricted to users in the Attendance Officer group.

When run on one or more contracts, the module looks at each contract's start date and end date (or today if the contract has no end date) and collects the employee's attendance records whose check-in falls inside that period. It then recalculates the overtime on those attendance records and posts a short note "Overtime updated" in the contract's chatter.

The action only runs for contracts in the Open or Close state; contracts in other states are skipped. This is useful when a contract's dates or terms have changed and the overtime already computed on past attendances needs to be refreshed.

It touches the hr.contract model and works together with attendance data from hr_attendance. No new menus or screens are added; the feature appears as an action button on the contract itself.
