+- **Funnel rates:** what % progressed past resume screen (reached Interview or beyond). Compute stage-reached from history, not current status: an application counts as having reached a stage when its current status implies it **or** its merged `outcome.md` stage checkboxes (Step 1.2) show the stage was reached - a `rejected` row whose outcome file ticks an interview stage reached Interview, and a `hired` row reached every stage before Hired. Current status alone structurally undercounts every earlier stage: a finished search would read as though nobody ever interviewed.
+- **Rejection rate:** true rejections (`rejected`, `no_response`) ÷ applications with a final outcome. `offer_declined` (the candidate turned the offer down - a success) and `withdrawn` (candidate-initiated) are not rejections and stay out of the numerator; Interview and Offer rows are still unresolved, so they stay out of the denominator along with Active. The Rejected/Closed status *bucket* still groups all closed rows for the doughnut - the rate just must not reuse the bucket blindly.

 Build each chart as a hand-written `<svg>` element: compute bar lengths/doughnut arc angles from the stats in Step 2 and emit the `<rect>`/`<path>`/`<circle>` and `<text>` elements directly — no charting library, no `<canvas>`. Each `<svg>` has `role="img"` and an `aria-label` summarizing the chart (e.g. "Status breakdown: 3 Active, 2 Interview, 1 Offer"). Wrap each in a `<div class="chart-card">` with an `<h3>` title above. Remember to escape any label/value text drawn into `<text>` nodes per the escaping rule above.

 ### Fixed
 
+- **`/html-report`'s funnel counts stages from history; the rejection rate stops
+  counting non-rejections** - the funnel was computed from current status, which is a
+  state, not a history: an application that interviewed and was then rejected never
+  counted as reaching Interview, so a finished search rendered as though nobody ever
+  interviewed. The funnel (Step 2 and chart 4) now derives stage-reached from current
+  status plus the `outcome.md` stage checkboxes Step 1.2 already merges. And the
+  rejection rate no longer counts `offer_declined` (a success) or `withdrawn`
+  (candidate-initiated) as rejections, nor unresolved Interview/Offer rows in its
+  denominator. Pinned by two new tests in `tests/test_html_report_command.py`.
 - **`jobdanmark-search detail`'s HTML fallback emits the same shapes as its JSON-LD
