Full Release Notes

## What's Changed
* Stops submission of **Employee Advance** records when the chosen _Advance Account_ is not of type Receivable, preventing selection of an incorrect account. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4017)
* Employee Self Service users can now view **Leave Type** records, letting them see the available leave categories. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4019)
* Hides the username/password fields on the HRMS login page when _Disable Username/Password Login_ is enabled in **System Settings**, so users no longer see a disabled login option. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4025)
* Hides the HRMS app for Website Users who have the **Employee** role, preventing their login from redirecting to a forbidden Desk page. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4028)
* Fixes incorrect recalculation of compensatory leave when cancelling a **Compensatory Leave Request**; the related **Leave Allocation** now keeps the correct remaining balance instead of resetting to zero. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4030)
* Uses default salary amounts when calculating **Gratuity**, allowing the payout to be saved without error when a departing employee’s full loan balance is settled. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4032)
* Displays the _Loan Repayment_ column in "Salary Register" only when the Lending app is installed, removing the empty column from systems that do not use lending. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4036)
* Adds validation to **Additional Salary**: recurring entries must include both _From Date_ and _To Date_, and non-recurring entries must include a _Payroll Date_; if any required date is missing, a clear error message now appears. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4040)
* Allows the local development servers for the frontend and roster modules to accept connections from any hostname, not just `localhost`, letting you preview the site from other devices on the same network. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4057)
* Fixes errors that prevent updating records in **Bulk Salary Structure Assignment** when the system language is set to non-English. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4062)
* Fixes doubled numbering in **Job Opening** records; new openings now receive the next number instead of skipping one. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4059)
