fix(archive): derive <company>_<role> as a single path component (#329)

Extends the canonical Subfolder-naming rule by citation to all six archive derivation sites (apply, gmail-sync, interview, notion-sync, outcome, assistant SKILL.md), adds a fail-closed guard for an empty derived name, and pins every site with mutation-verified tests. framework_version 1.3.3 -> 1.3.4.

jakob1379 independently specified the same fix in his fork's issue #22 before this PR's rework.

- **Engage nice-to-haves by name** where the profile supports honest adjacency (e.g. "conceptually aligned with <named tool>"), and use the posting's own term over a synonym wherever it is truthfully applicable - including in CV section headings (a posting hiring for "MLOps" should find a heading containing "MLOps", not only a paraphrase).
- **Address stated logistics and prerequisites** in the cover letter where the posting raises them: security clearance willingness, start date or availability, commute or location fit, and the posting's reference/job ID where one exists. When the employer operates across several countries, a truthful language-capabilities sentence mapped to their footprint is high-value targeting.
*In both filenames below, `<company>_<role>` is derived by the **Subfolder naming** rule in `documents/README.md` — the same rule `/outcome` Step 1.4 uses for the archive folder, so a `/` or other path character in a company or role name can never split the filename across directories.*
### CV (`cv/main_<company>_<role><CV_EXT>`)
- In the **CV language from the profile** (the `CV language:` line in CLAUDE.md's Identity section). When the profile does not set one, default to **English**. Never switch language per posting - the CV language is a profile-level choice, so all CVs stay consistent and reusable
- Follow the moderncv/banking format from `05-cv-templates.md`

**`drafted` rows stay in this set, and are the reason it is worth searching.** `/apply` writes them but never submits; the user submits by hand and may not think to run `/outcome`. A reply arriving against a row still marked `drafted` is exactly that case, and the row holds the company name the search needs.
4. If `$ARGUMENTS` named a company, filter this set to the matching row(s) (case-insensitive). No match → tell the user and stop, do not guess.

**The exception is `01-candidate-profile.md`.** Interview prep is where new facts surface most often: the user recalls a metric, corrects a scope, or fills in a STAR stub. When that happens, write the fact into the profile, as well as putting it in the prep pack. A fact recorded only in prep material reads as unsupported to a later drafting session and gets stripped from CVs as a fabrication. Prep files are not a substitute for the profile.

3. **Without an argument:** list all rows whose status is not final (see **Tracker status vocabulary** below) as a numbered table (company, role, date applied, current status, deadline, days quiet, follow-ups sent) and ask which to update. The two derived columns come straight from existing data: **days quiet** counts from the row's `date` or the latest dated entry in `notes`, whichever is more recent; **follow-ups sent** counts the `followed up YYYY-MM-DD` markers in `notes`. If any open row is 10+ days quiet with fewer than two follow-ups sent, add one line under the table: "Some of these have gone quiet - want a follow-up draft? (Step 2b)". If every row is resolved, say so and stop.
**`drafted` rows are listed but never counted as quiet** - nothing was sent, so nobody is late replying. List them under their own heading ("Drafted, not yet submitted"), leave **days quiet** and **follow-ups sent** blank, and keep them out of the follow-up offer above.
**Deadline urgency is the one clock that does apply to a drafted row.** Show the `deadline` column when the row has one and leave it blank otherwise. Mark a deadline within 7 days with 🔥 and one that has already passed with ⚠, on the same 7-day threshold `/rank` Step 3 uses so the two commands never disagree. A passed deadline on a `drafted` row is the failure this column exists to catch - documents written, never sent, and now unsendable - so name it in one line under the table rather than leaving the user to compare dates. This changes nothing about the follow-up offer: a drafted row is still never chased, because nobody is late replying to something that was never sent.
