Add freehire-search: country-agnostic freehire.dev aggregator skill (#85)
* feat(freehire-search): add country-agnostic freehire.dev aggregator skill
Adds a portal-search skill over the freehire.dev public JSON API — an
open-source IT job aggregator normalizing ~50 ATS platforms across many
markets into one schema. Like linkedin-search it is country-agnostic and
zero-dependency (plain bun + fetch), but it queries a JSON API rather than
scraping HTML, so results carry structured facets (skills/seniority/region).
Honors the portal-skill contract: search + detail commands, --format
json|table|plain, stderr JSON errors with exit 1, backoff on 429/5xx. Reads
are public (no API key) — the same zero-signup bar as linkedin-search. The
hosted-service dependency (best-effort, no SLA) is labeled prominently in
SKILL.md, and FREEHIRE_API_URL swaps the base URL for a self-hosted backend.
Scoped tech-first: triggers cover software/data/engineering roles, where the
faceted filtering is strong; non-tech coverage exists but is still maturing.
Network-free tests (mocked fetch + pure reshape/parse functions); CI matrix
updated to typecheck the new CLI.
* refactor(freehire-search): clarity pass on cli flag parsing
No behavior change. Replace a nested ternary and a comma-operator side effect
in a ternary with explicit if/else, and fix a comment that described facets
while sitting on the alias map.
* refactor(freehire-search): tighten to boundary contracts, trim comments
- Validate/normalize at boundaries, trust the declared types inside: drop the
redundant '?? []' guards on facet arrays the wire contract already guarantees,
and the re-filter in buildQuery (commaList already stripped empties).
- Model enrichment as always-present (an unenriched job serializes it as {}),
removing the '?? {}' guard.
- Replace the positional table-row builder with a declarative column list; add a
shared shortDate and a labeled-field helper for detail's plain output.
- Extract stringFlag for the string-or-bare-boolean flags (--remote/--query/...).
- Dedup the response parse in apiGet to a single tolerant read (drop safeJson).
- SKILL.md: document partial data + the 'none' unspecified-region facet.
- Trim restating comments to the reference skills' density.
