Since 'flag hidden' is declared after the resources EP and SH, these resources
will not inherit the flag hidden. So when you generate a report that has all
resources, except those with a flag 'hidden', EP and SH will be listed. Now
when the report uses the tree notation (that's default), parents with visible
childs are always shown, no matter wheter the parent is matching the
expression or not. So it's a feature.
Depending on what you want, moving the flag definition before the sub-resource
definition would help, or maybe 'rollupresource' does what you want.

That's a little more complicated. TaskJuggler will never allocate resources
outside of their working hours. By default Saturday and Sunday are no working
days. So you need to define a shift which has working hours on Saturdays.
shift extra "Special Saturday" {
sat 8:00 - 12:00, 13:00 - 17:00
}
Then you need to clear the resources for the Saturday shift.
resource ... {
...
shift extra 2003-03-15 - 2003-03-16
}
Of course you have to adapt it to your dates (and I might have made some
typos). But it should explain the principle.

The 'complete' keyword is just for reporting purposes. It will not be used for
scheduling. It just means 10% of the task have already been completed. It
does not matter when the task actually starts.
