v0.7.7 - Notification Accuracy, Search Preferences & Zen UI

Offlyn Apply v0.7.7

Release Date: April 3, 2025

🎯 Overview

This release focuses on improving notification accuracy, job search preferences, and a cleaner, more zen UI for the in-page widget's resume analysis feature.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Job Preferences Accuracy

• Fixed scheduled search keyword generation to prioritize profile data over fragmented search history
• Primary source hierarchy: Resume job title → Full search phrases → Individual keywords → Profile skills
• Previously, the scheduler would tokenize "Software Engineer" into separate words ("software", "engineer") and reconstruct them poorly
• Now preserves full job titles and search phrases for accurate job discovery
• Added topSearchPhrases tracking to the preference learning engine to maintain user intent

Notification Branding

• Updated notification icon to use Offlyn monogram (monogram-icon.png) instead of generic toolbar icon
• Improved notification title format: Offlyn Apply — 3 New Jobs (branded and professional)
• Cleaner job summary: Single job shows full title, multiple jobs show "Job Title and 2 more"
• Applied to both:
  • Scheduled job alert notifications
  • Test notification from settings page

✨ UI Improvements

Zen Tailor Resume Section

Redesigned the in-page widget's "Resume Keywords" section to be collapsible and less visually busy:

Collapsed State (Default):

• Clean, single-row toggle matching the Compatibility Score style
• Shows sparkle icon, "Resume Keywords" label, match count (6/14 matched), and percentage badge
• Minimal visual footprint — just a glance at your keyword match score

Expanded State (Click to open):

• Thin progress bar for quick visual reference
• Compact keyword pills with reduced padding and font size
• "Missing" keywords highlighted in red
• "Matched" keywords shown in muted green
• Streamlined "Open AI Resume Tailor" button
• Removed redundant Ollama hint text (handled on the tailor page itself)

Design Philosophy:

• Less clutter, more focus
• Information hierarchy: glance → expand → act
• Consistent with existing widget patterns

🔧 Technical Improvements

Enhanced Preference Engine

• Added topSearchPhrases field to LearnedPreferences interface
• Tracks full search phrases (e.g., "Cloud Solutions Architect") separately from tokenized keywords
• Search actions weighted 1×, apply actions weighted 2× for better signal quality
• Backward compatible with existing stored preferences

Notification Architecture

• Consolidated notification creation logic for consistency
• Uses monogram icon for stronger brand identity
• Better job summary formatting for multi-job alerts

Cross-Browser Support

• All changes mirrored to both Chrome (Manifest V3) and Firefox (Manifest V2) extensions
• Tested and verified on both platforms

📦 Distribution

• Chrome Extension: offlyn-chrome-v0.7.7.zip (1.7 MB)
• Firefox Extension: offlyn-firefox-v0.7.7.zip (3.0 MB)

🔄 Migration Notes

No action required. All changes are backward compatible. Existing preference data will be automatically augmented with the new topSearchPhrases field on the next search action.
