jobkit v1.0

v1.0: the structure release. One settings schema (userconfig.SCHEMA drives defaults, validation, template comments and docs); nothing reads a file at import (claims_loader; import cycle gone); one eligibility module shared by the corpus arm, screener and critic; daily.py split into stage functions with a tested dedupe/mirror core; one exit-status table and --help on every CLI. Behaviour verified unchanged with a live A/B run. Fixes the ' rejected me' crash from v0.9. Details: system/docs/DEVELOPER.md 'What changed in v1.0'.

jobkit v0.9

v0.9: second code audit. Safer fetches (http/https only), honest run summaries (failures are sentences, errors never counted from job titles), the learning loop fed automatically on 'I applied', faster daily runs (concurrent arms, one TF-IDF fit, SmartRecruiters fan-out), fill-rule WARN for thin profiles, Windows path fixes. Details: system/docs/DEVELOPER.md 'What changed in v0.9'.

What's new (program v0.8): a code audit, and its fixes
An independent review of the engine found places where the honesty audit could be bypassed. All are closed, each with a test that reproduces the original gap and must now fail.

• The audit reads every part of a document. Text in tables, headers, footers and text boxes is now checked; before, a claim placed there was invisible to it.
• The audit fails closed. A document's kind (resume, CV, letter) comes from a stamp the builder writes, never from its filename; an unknown file is checked as a resume, the strictest path.
• Headings and labels are recognised by structure, not by capital letters, so a claim cannot hide as a 'heading' or next to your email.
• Expired postings are set aside (they were slipping through to the judges).
• Your auto-skip setting now works; it was fixed at 40 before.
• Employer sites that fail to answer are reported instead of looking searched.
• Places you said you would never move to are enforced by the program, not only by Claude.
• Many smaller fixes: consistent posting IDs in the ledger, no duplicate ledger lines on a same-day re-run, one shared definition of 'fresh / nearby / thin posting', instructions that match what the audit allows, dead code removed. 36 tests, 18 new.

The engine status reads "Engine: original (v0.8)".

What's new (program v0.7): you decide, jobkit follows

• Location is your call. Setup asks how you think about it (stay local; local first but would move for a strong fit, and how strong; location doesn't matter; or not sure yet), plus remote, places you'd never move, and other countries you'd work in. It tells you what each answer changes before you pick.
• Position types are your call. Internships, co-ops, new-graduate programs, fellowships, research or unpaid work, postdocs, contract, hourly: only what you leave unticked is filtered out.
• You choose what the judges score. Skills and experience always; location, career direction, pay and remote only if you say so.
• Steadier judges. A fixed scoring scale and a quoted line from each posting, checked against the text, so a judge can't skim. In a test on 40 real postings, the lighter Sonnet judges matched the top model on every build decision.
• Light mode for Pro plans (offered at setup): a measured run took about 10 minutes and about $1.40 of usage.
• README: measured costs per run and an honest Limitations section.
• Fixes: defaults inherited from the original author's own search were removed (a recruiter exclusion, a new-grad block, a weekly build quota); foreign cities such as Budapest are now caught.

The engine status reads "Engine: original (v0.7)".

What's new (program v0.6)

• Reads far more postings. Morgan Stanley and other Eightfold sites, and shared Workday sites (Wells Fargo, Fidelity), now return the real job text. In a test run for a finance professional, unreadable postings went from 452 to 0 and postings reaching the judges' shortlist from 113 to 151.
• Cheaper judging. The second blind judge now reads only the borderline postings (18 of 40 in that test).
• Safer decisions. A strong posting can't be skipped without quoting the requirement it fails; a recent high score is remembered for 14 days.
• Your words, the posting's words. Wordings you confirm mean the same thing for you can be used on the resume and still pass the audit. Never-claims stay forbidden.
• Smaller fixes: company-age blurbs no longer read as experience requirements, US-first multi-site postings are kept, 'High Temp' is not a temp job, 'Sr.' titles match, Nodi job boards, LinkedIn/Adzuna backoff.

The engine status now reads "Engine: original (v0.6)".
