feat(04): add work-authorization eligibility gate to job evaluation (#209)
Adds a work-authorization eligibility dimension to 04-job-evaluation.md: whether the candidate is legally permitted to hold the role (citizenship/PR/visa requirements) as a hard filter, distinct from permit-timing. Country-agnostic, quotes the requirement source verbatim, treats silence as not-permission, and surfaces to the user rather than silently dropping. framework_version bumped 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0. By @LeoWinston-9596 (split from #199). Note: the referenced /setup 'second gate' permit-timing collection isn't wired yet - a natural follow-up.

## Eligibility Gate — run before scoring
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the candidate is not a citizen or permanent resident of the country they are applying in, run this first. It is a hard filter, not a scoring dimension, and it is separate from work-permit *timing*: timing asks "can they work the required hours yet?", eligibility asks "are they permitted to hold this job at all?". A candidate can pass timing and still be categorically excluded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Read the posting's eligibility / work rights / "who can apply" section **verbatim** and classify:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Posting wording | Verdict |
|
||||||
|
|-----------------|---------|
|
||||||
|
| Names a **citizenship or permanent-residency requirement** ("must be a citizen of X", "permanent resident", "PR required", "full working rights" where the employer means citizen/PR) | **FAIL — hard stop.** Do not score, do not draft. Quote the exact wording back to the user. |
|
||||||
|
| Requires a **security clearance** at any level | **FAIL** in most countries, since clearance is normally gated on citizenship. Verify the specific scheme rather than assuming. |
|
||||||
|
| **Explicitly names** the candidate's permit class, or says "international applicants welcome", "visa holders considered", "we sponsor" | **PASS** — verified acceptance. Worth noting as a positive in the application. |
|
||||||
|
| **Silent** on citizenship or residency | **PROCEED, but mark unverified.** Check the employer's own careers or international-applicant page before drafting. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Two rules that are easy to get wrong:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Silence is not permission.** Large graduate programs frequently gate eligibility on their own website rather than in the job ad. Highest-risk categories: professional-services firms, government and defence, banking, telecommunications, and anything touching critical infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
2. **A company-wide "we accept international applicants" statement is not role-level permission.** The common pattern is a general welcome followed by a *named list* of the specific programs or service lines it covers. Confirm the **specific posting or stream** appears on that list before drafting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Report an eligibility failure to the user with the quoted source** rather than silently dropping the role. They may know something about their own status that the profile does not record.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the candidate's permit also constrains *hours* or *start date* (a student visa with a term-time cap, a permit that begins on graduation), record that as a second gate under this section during `/setup`, with the specific dates. Do not merge it with the eligibility question above — they fail for different reasons and need different answers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A role that fails this gate is not scored and not drafted. Everything below applies only to roles that pass it.
