# Closure routes (employee)

Mounted at `/api/closure`. Every route requires `requireAuth` +
`requireEmployee`.

# Examples

```
GET /api/closure?period=YYYY-MM
200 -> { "closure": MonthClosure, "summary": ClosureSummary }
```
Lazily creates the closure row (`waiting_employee`) the first time this
period is opened. `summary` (`worked_minutes`, `shift_count`,
`earned_estimate`) is always computed live from
[attendance_events](/docs/data-model/attendance-events.md) — never stored
on the closure row itself.

```
POST /api/closure/confirm
Body: { "period": "YYYY-MM" }
200 -> { "ok": true }
400 -> "V tomto měsíci máš stále otevřenou směnu." (open shift blocks it)
     | "Docházka je už uzamčena." (already locked)
```
