fix(tracker): persist the application deadline end to end (#319) (#324)

The deadline is written at every moment it is provably in hand and survives
every write that follows: seen_jobs.json base field, /rank stored-value urgency
+ expiry sweep with Step 4 persistence, tracker 14th column with header-line-only
migration for existing files, /scrape-path extraction (assistant SKILL.md 1.3.2
-> 1.3.3), preserve-unparsed-fields in /outcome and /gmail-sync, notion-sync
deadline precedence. Design, scope analysis, and the folded refinements by
jakob1379 (#319, #328).

For every row the user approved:

Never restructure the CSV, reorder rows, or touch unrelated rows - same rule `/outcome` follows. The rewrite touches only `status`, `notes` (and `date` when the drafted-rule below fires): preserve every other field of the row, parsed or not, so the `deadline` column written by `/apply` Step 6b - or any column added in the future - is never blanked by a status sync.
**If the matched row was still `drafted`,** also set `date` to the email's date. The employer replying proves the user submitted by hand without running `/outcome`, so the drafting date now in that column is wrong. The email's date is an upper bound on the real submission date, tight for an ack and loose for a rejection weeks later, which is why Step 6 shows it and lets the user supply the actual date instead.
2. **`outcome.md`:** tick the relevant stage checkbox (adding the date in parentheses) or update `Status`/`Date resolved` per the table. Append a dated entry to `## Notes`, never overwrite existing Notes history:
