JobFlow v0.5.0 — Signed Windows Updates and ATS Resilience
JobFlow v0.5.0
JobFlow v0.5.0 is a frozen stable release focused on resilient local operation, signed Windows updates, evidence-scoped ATS support, and privacy-safe diagnostics.
Highlights
- Added an explicit, user-initiated signed update path for fixed per-user Windows installations, including archive verification, health checks, and automatic rollback.
- Added stable Start menu launch, health-check, update, rollback, and uninstall entries while keeping private runtime data outside immutable application versions.
- Hardened modern component-based form handling across redraws, Shadow DOM, ARIA controls, and replaced upload inputs.
- Added local, user-present pause, resume, and run-now controls for already saved work without creating a background task or service.
- Added evidence-scoped provider support reporting and offline contracts for Ashby and SmartRecruiters without claiming unverified live-site compatibility.
- Added privacy-safe local diagnostics and optional bounded incident history for user-reviewed support exports.
- Improved keyboard navigation, live-region feedback, high-contrast behavior, and reduced-motion support in the bilingual UI.
Safety boundaries
- Final Submit is always clicked by the user.
- Login, account creation, credentials, CAPTCHA, MFA, OTP, signatures, sensitive legal answers, and unknown controls stop for user review.
- A changed page, field, or application identity stops safely.
- Partial or unknown external outcomes are recorded once and are never retried automatically.
- Update checks run only after an explicit user action and accept only the pinned GitHub stable channel with a valid release signature.
- Synthetic and offline evidence does not claim universal compatibility with every current or future ATS.
Verification
- 459/459 Python tests passed.
- 8/8 Browser Companion and DOM suites passed.
- 50/50 runtime schemas validated.
- The deterministic 371-file source archive was independently reproduced byte for byte.
- Public tree and full Git history scans reported zero findings.
- Independent frozen-archive QA reported P0=0, P1=0, and must-fix=0.
- Release QA used isolated local state, left all configured knowledge sources unchanged, and performed no real recruiting-site actions.
