What's New

Unassigned Assignment Mode (#336, fixes #284)

A new Unassigned assignment mode is available for chores. When set, no child sees the chore — useful for parent-only tasks or chores you want to keep in the system but temporarily hide from all children.

Current Assignee Column in Chore Table (#334)

The chore management table in the panel now shows a Current column displaying today's assigned child for rotation-based chores (alternating, random, balanced). Makes it easy to see at a glance who's responsible today without opening each chore.

Fixes

Settings text fields missing on first load (#337, fixes #324)

ha-textfield, ha-switch, and ha-icon-picker are lazy-loaded by Home Assistant and aren't guaranteed to be registered when the TaskMate panel first renders. If a user navigated directly to the TaskMate panel without visiting other HA pages first, the settings inputs were invisible. The panel now calls loadCardHelpers() on startup and re-renders once the components are ready.

Card previews missing in dashboard picker (#335)

Seven cards were showing blank or text-only previews in the HA "Add to dashboard" card picker:

• Badges, Bonuses, Penalties — preview was explicitly disabled; now enabled with proper stub configs
• Badges — stub entity changed from non-existent sensor.taskmate_badges_child to sensor.taskmate_overview, with sample badge data in preview context
• Approvals — stub entity changed from sensor.pending_approvals to sensor.taskmate_overview
• Child Card, Reorder Card — fall back to first child when stub config has empty child_id
• Points Display — added missing getStubConfig() so the entity is pre-filled

Rotation assignee display fix (#333)

Fixed an issue where the current assignee wasn't shown correctly for rotation chores that had all children in the pool.
