Job Scout v0.6.1

Job Scout v0.6.1

First packaged public release of Job Scout for Chrome and Edge.

Included

• English interface, notifications, exports, backend errors, and model-analysis instructions.
• English and Chinese README documentation.
• LinkedIn job capture and paste fallback, local application tracking, JSON/CSV export.
• Generic rule-based role classification and DS / DA / Research routing.
• Optional OpenAI analysis with user-supplied resumes and a local backend; API keys stay on the backend.
• Compatibility mapping for application statuses saved by the earlier Chinese UI.

Install

1. Download job-scout-v0.6.1.zip from the release assets and extract it.
2. Open chrome://extensions or edge://extensions and enable Developer mode.
3. Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted job-scout folder containing manifest.json.
4. Rule mode works without a backend. For API mode, follow docs/setup.md; Node.js 22+ and your own OpenAI API account are required.

For an existing installation, back up records using Export JSON. Replace files in the existing extension folder and click Reload; avoid uninstalling if you want to retain browser-local records. Restart the backend after replacing its files.

Verification and limits

Release publishing is gated on Windows and Linux automated tests. Local browser smoke checks cover the English interface, explicit-send gating, record persistence, stale-result detection, and CSV export. Automated API tests use mocked responses.

Live LinkedIn extraction and real paid OpenAI requests have not yet been verified. Keyword coverage is not a calibrated fit score. No automatic job applications or paid batch analysis are included. Historical model results remain in their original language until re-analyzed.

The .sha256 asset contains the SHA-256 digest of the ZIP. The package contains no API credentials, personal resumes, or saved job records. This is a Developer-mode package, not a signed Chrome Web Store / Edge Add-ons release.
