* fix(scraper): make seen_jobs.json keys a pure function of the posting, and clean up the drift
The dedup key was prose only ("<url_or_company_title_key>"), so different
/scrape runs slugified company+title differently and the state file
accumulated two failures: keys carrying "&", "/", "," and ":" that break
the archive-folder path /apply and /outcome derive from company+role
(documents/README.md's subfolder rule exists because of exactly this),
and the same posting stored twice under two different truncations of a
long title (two Deloitte entries, one job, one URL).
tools/job_key.py makes the key a pure, deterministic function of
company+title+url: a strict allowlist slug, length-capped with a hash of
the full slug so truncation never collides across runs, and a fallback
to the portal's numeric job id when a non-Latin title slugifies to
nothing (a real prior entry, "securion_", would have collided with
every future non-Latin posting from that company).
--audit finds both failure classes in an existing seen_jobs.json without
guessing at a fix: malformed keys (real damage), a legacy three-part
company_title_location shape (harmless but not what the current rule
produces, so it silently re-duplicates on the next scrape), and
duplicate URLs. Ran it against this workspace's file and re-keyed the 15
entries it found - 7 malformed, 8 legacy-shape - verified byte-for-byte
against the pre-cleanup copy that no entry's data changed, only its key.
tests/test_job_key.py (16 tests) covers the slugify rules, the
truncation-hash behavior, both non-Latin fallback paths, and the audit
CLI's exit codes.
* fix(scrape): call the key helper from Step 4 instead of slugifying ad hoc
The helper added in the previous commit is only load-bearing if the spec
calls it. Step 4 described the key as prose ("<url_or_company_title_key>"),
which is what let each run slugify its own way. Step 4 now names the
command, and the schema shows the key's provenance.
Renumbers the trailing list item; no other behaviour in the step changes.
* docs(changelog): record the job-key rule under Unreleased
* fix(scrape): preserve dedup continuity across key rule
* changelog: note that existing seen_jobs.json entries need no migration (#441)

* fix(web-research): fail loudly when $SCRATCHPAD is unset
The two runnable snippets in 09-web-research.md both start with
`cd "$SCRATCHPAD"`, but nothing in the repo ever sets that variable.
With it unset the command expands to `cd ""`, which succeeds and leaves
the shell in the current directory, so `page.html` and the extracted
text land wherever the command was run from. In practice that is the
repo checkout, which is exactly what the paragraph directly beneath the
curl block forbids: "Write to the session scratchpad directory, never
into the repo."
Guarding with `${SCRATCHPAD:?...}` turns a silent write into the repo
into an immediate, self-explaining failure. The message names where the
value comes from so the reader can set it and re-run.

* fix(rank): move seen_jobs.json read/write off the state file's own critical path (#395)
/rank's Step 1 read the whole of seen_jobs.json into the conversation to
select candidates by eye, and Step 4 emitted it back to record scores.
That cost is paid on every run regardless of how many jobs are scored,
and it grows for the life of the workspace, since the file is
append-only and most stored entries are `skipped`.
tools/rank_state.py moves that traffic into code:
- `candidates` selects entries per Step 1's existing rules (status
filter, tracker exclusion, focus filter, `--limit`/`--all` from #424)
and projects only the fields a scoring agent needs.
- `sweep` runs rule 6's expiry pass over entries the run did not
re-score - a stored-date comparison, no fetch, no agent - preserving
its defensive parsing of non-ISO deadlines and its `--all`
reversibility.
- `apply` writes scoring results back atomically and prints the
ranked/vetoed/expired rows Step 5's report is built from, preserving
Step 4's existing write-back rules exactly: the `location` ->
`location_verdict` legacy migration, the deadline
null-is-not-a-correction rule, verbatim strengths/gaps persistence,
and idempotent re-scoring.
Step 1, Step 3's rule 6, and Step 4 now route through the tool instead
of describing a manual read/write. Nothing about scoring policy changes
- no new status, no new persisted field, no change to what counts as a
veto. The tracker stays read-only and every write is atomic (temp file
+ rename).
tests/test_rank_state.py (25 tests) covers the three subcommands
directly. The new spec-guard class in test_rank_command.py derives the
fields Step 4 must preserve from Step 2's own JSON schema block rather
than retyping them as a second list, so a future edit to that contract
is what the test reads instead of something that can drift from it.
* fix(rank): add CHANGELOG entry and remove the undefined $SCRATCHPAD reference
Two mechanical fixes from review:
- Step 4 named the results hand-off file via $SCRATCHPAD, a variable
nothing in the repo defines - a reader following the spec literally
has no path to substitute. Named the location in prose instead (a
temporary file outside the repo tree, never committed) and replaced
the shell-variable-looking path in the example command with an
explicit placeholder.
- Added the [Unreleased] entry this change was missing; the one
already in the diff belongs to #424.
* changelog: fold the #395 entry into the existing Fixed section
