Full Release Notes

## Features
* **Salary Slip** emails now wait until the slip’s _Posting Date_ before being sent, preventing premature delivery to employees. The same scheduling applies when slips are submitted in bulk through **Payroll Entry**. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4430)

## Bug Fixes
* The **HRMS** page now embeds the correct site name, allowing its live updates to connect properly. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4426)
* Fixes total days display in **Attendance Request** list on the mobile app, showing the correct number of days instead of a placeholder. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4433)
* Fixes upgrade error that occurs when the system tries to mark the “People” entry in the **Workspace Sidebar** as standard before the sidebar exists. Prevents unnecessary renaming of **Interview Type** records when the current and new names are identical. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4442)
* Restricts access to **Leave Application** details and leave balances so only the employee or their designated leave approver can view them, blocking all other users. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4453)
* Prevents errors during recruitment data migration by renaming **Interview Type** only when both **Interview Type** and **Interview Round** names are present and different. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4460)
* The **Employee Attendance Tool** now functions as a virtual form and no longer writes any data to the system. This change avoids creating or altering attendance records when you use the tool. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4440)
