+**Salary picker safety:** in the Add-Adjustment modal, choosing
+type=`Salary` auto-sets the pay-type filter to Managers-only, hides
+daily rows, and **unticks** any already-selected daily worker (so a
+`Salary` can never silently be created for a `pay_type='daily'`

+re-shows everyone (no auto-re-tick). Pure JS in `toggleProjectField()`

+silent footgun).

 - **ADDITIVE_TYPES** = `['Bonus', 'Overtime', 'New Loan', 'Advance Payment', 'Salary']` — increase worker's net pay
