Full Release Notes

## Features
* Adds “Returned Amount” column to "Employee Advance Summary" report so users can see repayments without manually adding the field. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4100)

## Bug Fixes
* Renames the _Status_ field to _Boarding Status_ in **Employee Onboarding** and updates list filters accordingly, so switching from the list to the report view now works without an error. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4082)
* The "Shift Attendance" report now shows **Attendance** records even when no check-in exists, so absences and manual entries appear in the results. It also respects each user’s access rights, displaying only the records they are allowed to view. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4085)
* Warnings for missing holiday lists in **Leave Application** now state the exact date that lacks a list. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4095)
* Fixes issue where **Attendance** records were missing from the calendar view; the calendar now displays each employee’s attendance status. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4096)
