proposals's Issues

Failed and Pending status for schedule operations are not reported correctly.

It would be good to see when a scheduling operation has completed, failed or if it is still pending. Right now, we just have to reload the schedule page and wait for the "view results" link to appear.

The input validation on the schedule submission form is not correct

It should not accept situations where there are more items to schedule than there are weeks available. e.g. If there are 49 ordinary workshops and 2 half workshops, there are 50 things to schedule. The form should throw a validation error if the number of weeks available in the schedule is less than 50

Half workshops are scheduled correctly by the HMC, but are not displayed in the results.

For example, on pstaging2.birs.ca in the current schedule for the "Banff International Research Station" site for 2023, 23w5002 and 23w5150 are half workshops. When we ran the scheduler, they were scheduled into week 29 (the scheduler response says: {"week"=>"29", "proposal"=>"23w5002 and 23w5150"}), but when you view the schedule on pstaging2.birs.ca week 29 is empty. Both of these proposals should be shown in week 29.

If the Invitation is cancelled it should remove the entry from the Demographic data
