Yinghao Wang enhanced the CombiRWTH/StaffScheduling repository by developing and refining complex shift-constraint features to improve night-shift feasibility, rest requirements, and rotation logic. Using Python and constraint programming, Wang stabilized edge-case scheduling behaviors, such as enforcing 24-hour rest after night shifts and preventing late-to-early transitions, while also correcting import paths and clarifying documentation for maintainability. In June, Wang further refined the scheduling objective by penalizing consecutive workdays and rewarding weekend rest, simplifying the optimization model by removing restrictive constraints. This work resulted in a more robust, maintainable backend that better aligns scheduling outcomes with organizational rest policies.

June 2025 monthly summary for CombiRWTH/StaffScheduling: Implemented targeted enhancements to the scheduling objective and fixed edge cases to improve rest/work balance alignment and algorithm simplicity. Key changes include penalizing consecutive work days and rewarding rest days with a weekend emphasis, and removing the 'more_free_days_for_night_worker' constraint to avoid over-optimizing night worker rest days. These changes were implemented via two commits: fix free days near weekends and safe remove more free days for night workers. Result: clearer objective, reduced risk of misallocated night rest, and a more maintainable optimization model.

May 2025: Focused on delivering robust shift-constraint features for CombiRWTH/StaffScheduling, improving night-shift feasibility, rest requirements, rotation, and weekend rest. This work also included import-path corrections and clearer constraint descriptions for StateManager. Key deliverables included new and refined constraints, stabilization of edge cases (e.g., 24h no-shift after night shift, no late-to-early transitions), and documentation enhancements. Result: more compliant, reliable scheduling, reduced fatigue risk, and better maintainability across the codebase.
