v1.70.0
[1.70.0] — 2026-06-16
feat(i18n): three new UI languages — Polish (pl), Ukrainian (uk), and Arabic (ar, with full RTL) — bringing the SPA to 12 locales, matching every language in the parent career-ops README. Each new locale ships a complete 697-key dictionary (public/js/lib/locales/i18n-dict.{pl,uk,ar}.js), gated by the existing parity / coverage / no-latin-leak / no-personal-data suites. Arabic adds genuine right-to-left support: i18n.js sets <html dir="rtl"> for RTL locales and a scoped [dir="rtl"] block in app.css mirrors the chrome (sidebar, notifications drawer, markdown tables/blockquotes, inline spacing) — LTR locales are byte-for-byte unchanged. New top.langLabel key (×12) names the picker for screen readers.
feat(ui): flag-icon <select> language switcher replaces the wrapping button row. With 12 locales the old .lang-btn row wrapped to three lines in the sidebar; a native <select> (each option prefixed with a flag emoji) scales cleanly, is keyboard- and screen-reader-friendly out of the box, and stays CSP-safe (change handler via addEventListener, no inline JS). Flags degrade to region letters where the platform lacks flag glyphs, so the language label is always the load-bearing identifier.
feat(cover): port the parent's cover-letter mode (career-ops v1.10.0 + v1.11.0 greeting) into the SPA. New #/cover page under the Application nav group, built on the generic mode runner: Job description + Company/Role + an optional salutation → a tailored letter generated from cv.md / modes/_profile.md. Added cover to the server MODE_ALLOWLIST and a cover.* i18n block (×12 locales).
chore(compat): track parent career-ops v1.11.0. Verified the read/write contract is intact — data/applications.md stays the markdown source of truth (the v1.11.0 SQLite tracker index is a derived cache), tracker columns are still header-mapped. parentVersion now reports 1.11.0.
fix(i18n): close a latent gap where French (added v1.61.0) was missing from server/lib/prompts.mjs LOCALE_NAMES and SCAFFOLD_STRINGS — French LLM calls silently defaulted to English output and English scaffolding. fr/pl/uk/ar are now all wired into the prompt-locale path.
Known follow-ups (tracked in
qa/v1.70-regression/): the in-app help guide (docs/help/) falls back to English for pl/uk/ar (the UI chrome itself is fully localized); the parent's interactive interview onboarding, reverse-ATS discovery, and newer scan providers are not yet surfaced in the SPA.
