The skill queried /api/v1/jobs/search, whose `description` is the search
index's truncated preview — and the CLI dropped it entirely, so a result
carried only title/company/location/date/url. Reading a posting therefore
meant a `detail` call per hit, which is exactly what job-scraper's Step 2
prescribes: "fetch full detail with that portal's `detail` command".
freehire exposes a search endpoint for programmatic consumers,
/api/v1/agent/jobs/search: same query, ranking, facets and pagination, but
asked to (`include_description=true`) it replaces the preview with the
posting's full description read from the database, rendered as
`description_format=markdown|text|html`. Reproduce the difference:
curl -s "https://freehire.me/api/v1/jobs/search?q=golang&limit=1" \
| jq -r '.data[0].description | length' # preview, capped
curl -s "https://freehire.me/api/v1/agent/jobs/search?q=golang&limit=1\
&include_description=true&description_format=markdown" \
| jq -r '.data[0].description | length' # full text
So `search` now calls that endpoint, always asking for full descriptions,
and each JSON result carries `description` verbatim — no client-side HTML
stripping, since the API already rendered it. Markdown is the default
because it preserves the headings and requirement lists /rank reasons over;
`--description-format text|html` selects the others. The flag is validated
client-side: the API answers an unrecognized format with raw HTML rather
than an error, so a typo would silently change the output instead of
failing.
`table` and `plain` stay description-free — a full posting body would swamp
a scannable list — and `detail` is untouched, for looking one posting up by
slug (including a closed one, absent from search).
One behaviour change beyond the endpoint: a 404 from the search path used
to be folded into an empty result set. On the agent endpoint a 404 means
the instance predates it — a self-hosted freehire behind FREEHIRE_API_URL —
so it is now reported as an error naming the path, instead of a plausible
"no results" that hides the misconfiguration.
Tests cover the requested URL and params, verbatim (unstripped) markdown,
the null-when-absent case, the 404-is-an-error contract, and the flag
validation. All network-free.
* feat(add-template): make /add-template engine-agnostic so Typst can register alongside LaTeX
/add-template hardcoded a lualatex|xelatex|pdflatex engine enum and .tex
assumptions, so custom templates could only be LaTeX. Replace the enum with a
declared source extension + compile command, so any toolchain (Typst via
`typst compile`, or others) registers the same way stock LaTeX templates did.
Stock CV/cover-letter pipeline stays LaTeX and untouched (per #181).
Also fixes a latent bug this surfaced: apply.md's compile step ignored the
ACTIVE-TEMPLATE block and always ran lualatex/xelatex on .tex regardless of
the active template, and .gitignore's cv/main_*.tex pattern would not have
ignored a non-.tex draft (personal-data leak). Both now resolve from the
declared extension/command.
* fix(add-template): satisfy security_guards on the .gitignore Typst fix
security_guards.py pins the personal-data ignore rules by exact string and
gates negations through an allowlist, so broadening cv/main_*.tex and
cover_letters/cover_*.tex to *.* (for .typ drafts) needed a matching update
to REQUIRED_IGNORE_RULES.
Also tighten the .gitignore itself per review: keep the re-include
negations at .tex instead of widening them to *.* too. The stock example
files are always LaTeX, so .tex is enough to re-include them, and a
wildcard negation would have also re-included build artifacts
(main_example.pdf/.aux) that should stay ignored. ALLOWED_IGNORE_NEGATIONS
needs no change since the negations are unchanged.
Also adds a CHANGELOG entry under Unreleased for the Typst/custom-template
support.
Addresses #213 (how to keep up with a fast-moving upstream) and closes the
verification loophole surfaced in the 2026-07-22 triage audit.
- Add CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog + semver), with v1.0.0 as the first
tagged baseline and an Unreleased section for going forward.
- SETUP.md section 8: recommend updating to a tagged release (a vetted,
described checkpoint) over pulling raw master; fetch --tags and merge a tag.
- README: add a "Staying up to date" pointer to Releases, the CHANGELOG, and
check_upstream_updates.py.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: sharpen "Claims get verified" - a test that distinguishes
master from the fix is necessary but not sufficient; the failing input must
be one the workflow actually produces, not one the test hand-builds. Fixes
demonstrated only through a synthetic input the real code path never receives
get declined even when their test is green.
Note: the git tag / GitHub Release for v1.0.0 is intentionally left for the
maintainer to cut.
