 // re-runs the combined visibility pass via applyWorkerFilters().

 // Empty selection in either filter = "no restriction" for that filter.
+//
+// IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: we read the worker's id from the inner
+// <input name="workers"> value attribute, NOT from data-worker-id on
+// the row div. This matches the attendance form's proven pattern and
+// avoids brittleness around how Django renders choice_value for
+// ModelMultipleChoiceField iteration.
+//
+// REGRESSION: this used to read data-worker-id, which silently hid
+// all workers in some renders. Reading from input[name="workers"]
+// value is the same pattern attendance_log.html uses and is proven.
+// See 7d4d7b1+ Konrad's bug report on production.
