Payroll V0.2 — Stable Xero Connection & Enhanced Staff Sync

Major improvements to Xero connection stability and the staff synchronization process.

Xero Connection:

• Auto-reconnect mechanism via background job and on Payroll Settings page visit
• Fixed connection status — only shows Disconnected when truly unreachable (expired tokens, user-initiated disconnect in Xero)
• Silent refresh/reconnect in all other cases

Enhanced Staff Sync:

• Sync triggers on staff create, profile edit, manual Staff Sync, and Process/Re-process
• Improved matching logic — matches by email, creates new Xero employee if no match
• Reduced sync fields — removed Status, JobTitle, Gender, Phone Classification, PayrollCalendar, LeaveBalances and others
• Now pushes only essential fields: EmployeeID, Title, Name, Email, DOB, Address, Mobile, StartDate, TaxDeclaration, BankAccounts, IncomeType, EmploymentType
• Fetches SuperMemberships from Xero (SGC/STATUTORY preferred) to keep superannuation accurate
• Removed Leave Balance sync — leave balance changes now stay in Optiq only
