Approve a vacation request

Approves a pending vacation request, changing its status from “Pending” to “Approved”.

What this does:

• Updates the vacation request status to “Approved”
• Records who approved the request and when (statusChangedBy, statusChangedAt)
• Sends a notification to the employee who requested the vacation
• The approved vacation will now appear in upcoming vacations and team calendars

How it works:

• The vacation must be in “Pending” status to be approved
• Only managers with “manageAll” or “manageTeams” permission can approve requests
• Managers with “manageTeams” can only approve requests from employees in their teams
• The vacation ID is provided as a URL parameter
• Returns 404 if the vacation request is not found

Use cases:

• Approving vacation requests from a management dashboard
• Bulk approval workflows
• Automated approval based on business rules

Note: After approval, the vacation will be visible in the upcoming vacations endpoint and will affect capacity calculations.
