+5. **Check whether the portal can be reached without a credential.** Some portals return usable content only through a third-party fetching service (a paid unlocker/proxy API). **This step never overrides Step 2.4:** if `robots.txt` or the portal's terms disallow access, that is decided there, and a paid fetching service does not change the answer. The credential path exists for portals whose `robots.txt` permits access but whose bot protection blocks ordinary fetches. Where that applies and the test fetch succeeds only through such a service, say so to the user **before scaffolding** - a portal that bills per query is a different proposition from a free one, and they may prefer to skip it. Note which service and which environment variable; the handling rules are in the portal-skill contract in Step 3.

 - **Search flags:** `--query`/`-q`, `--jobage <days>` (posting age; map to the portal's parameter, note in SKILL.md if unsupported), `--page <n>` (1-indexed), `--limit <n>` (client-side cap), `--format json|table|plain` (default `json`). Add `--location`/`-l` if the portal supports location as a parameter; if it only supports location inside the keyword query, document that in SKILL.md the way `jobindex-search` does ("include the city in `--query`").
 - **JSON output shape:** `{ "meta": { "count": ..., "page": ... }, "results": [...] }` where each result has at least `id`, `title`, `company`, `location`, `date`, `url` (missing values are `null`, never omitted).
 - **Errors:** written to **stderr** as `{ "error": "...", "code": "..." }`, exit code `1`. Never write errors to stdout.
- **Fetching:** browser User-Agent, exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx (max ~6 retries), `""`/`null` on 404 rather than a crash.
+- **Fetching:** an honest User-Agent that names the tool (`Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; <portal>-cli/1.0)`, the convention every shipped portal CLI follows) - never a full browser impersonation; if the portal refuses that UA, escalation to browser headers goes through the robots.txt gate in `.claude/skills/job-application-assistant/09-web-research.md`, not through the CLI's default. Exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx (max ~6 retries), `""`/`null` on 404 rather than a crash.
 - **HTML parsing:** split the response into per-result chunks and parse each independently, so one malformed card cannot break the rest (see `parseJobCards` in `linkedin-search/cli/src/helpers.ts`).
 - **Dependencies:** default to **zero runtime dependencies** (plain `bun` + `fetch` + regex parsing) like `linkedin-search` - `bun install` should only pull dev types. Only add a parsing library if the portal's markup genuinely defeats chunked regex parsing, and say so in the README.
+- **Credentials:** a skill that needs an API key (Step 2.5) reads it **only** from an environment variable named `<SERVICE>_API_TOKEN`. Never hardcode it, never accept it as a CLI flag (flags leak into shell history and process listings), and never write a real token into `url-reference.md`, a README example, or a test fixture. If the variable is unset, exit `1` with the standard stderr JSON error and code `MISSING_CREDENTIALS`, naming the variable to set - never fall through to an unauthenticated request that fails confusingly. The repo `.gitignore` covers `.env`; do not commit one.

 ### File specifics

 - **`SKILL.md` frontmatter:** `name`, `version: 1.0.0`, a `description` written for skill triggering - it must name the portal, the market, and include trigger phrases in English **and** the market's language; `context: fork`; `allowed-tools: Bash(bun run skills/<name>/cli/src/cli.ts *)`.
- **`SKILL.md` body:** what the skill searches, the personal-use warning if Step 2 found terms restrictions, command reference with flags, 4-6 usage examples using the user's market (real cities, realistic roles), output-format table, and a Notes section recording portal quirks found in Step 2.
+- **`SKILL.md` body:** what the skill searches, the personal-use warning if Step 2 found terms restrictions, command reference with flags, 4-6 usage examples using the user's market (real cities, realistic roles), output-format table, and a Notes section recording portal quirks found in Step 2. If Step 2.5 found the portal needs a credential, add a **Setup** section naming the service, the exact environment variable to export, and the fact that every call is billed - stated where the user reads it before running the skill, not after.
 - **`url-reference.md`:** the endpoints, parameters table, and response-structure notes from Step 2 - this is the file a future maintainer needs when the portal changes its markup.
 - **`package.json`:** name `<portal>-cli`, `"type": "module"`, scripts `start`, `test` (`bun test --timeout 30000`), and `typecheck` (`tsc --noEmit`); dev-only dependencies in the zero-dependency default.
 - **`tests/`:** copy `runCLI`/`parseJSON` from `jobindex-search/cli/tests/helpers.ts`, then add a small live smoke-test file: `search` with the test query returns exit code 0 and ≥1 result with non-null `id`/`title`/`url`; a bogus flag or missing required arg exits 1 with a JSON error on stderr.

-## [Unreleased]
+## [1.5.0] - 2026-08-12
+
+### Added
+
+- **Commit-level upstream triage for forks** (#305). A new `tools/upstream_triage.py` walks the
+  commits a fork is behind upstream and sorts them into "worth reviewing" vs "probably skip":
+  cherry-picks already applied drop off on their own (matched by `git patch-id`, so ported work
+  needs no bookkeeping), commits that only touch files the fork removed are set aside, and SHAs in
+  a flat `.github/upstream-wontport.txt` stop resurfacing. It's the commit-history companion to
+  `check_upstream_updates.py`'s version stamps - the two cross-reference each other in their output.
+  Report-only by design: it prints ready-to-run `git cherry-pick` lines but never merges, pushes, or
+  opens a PR, because on a fork "applies cleanly" isn't "correct". A `.github/workflows/upstream-watch.yml`
+  runs it weekly into a rolling issue, guarded to no-op on the upstream template (pinned by a test) and
+  scoped to the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` so it can never write outside its own fork. SETUP.md 8
+  introduces both tools side by side. Offline tests cover patch-id matching, relevance filtering, the
+  won't-port list, and the workflow guard. Thanks @anjolok1997.
+
+- **`security_guards.py` now holds `.claude/settings.json` hooks to an allowlist** - the
+  guard read `permissions.allow` and nothing else, so a `hooks` block in the same file
+  passed silently. A hook is strictly more dangerous than a pre-approved permission: a
+  permission pre-approves something Claude *may* choose to do, while a hook runs
+  unconditionally when its event fires, with no prompt and no model decision in between.
+  This is not hypothetical - it is the vector the Shai-Hulud worm used in its August 2026
+  wave, planting a `SessionStart` hook in `.claude/settings.json` that executed on session
+  start ([JFrog research](https://research.jfrog.com/post/shai-hulud-is-back-august/)).
+  For a template thousands of people are invited to fork, that is the riskiest key in the
+  file the guard already parses. `ALLOWED_HOOKS` ships empty (the template has no hooks),
+  the check runs *before* the permissions shape guards so a malformed permissions block
+  cannot return early and skip it, and unrecognised hook layouts fail closed rather than
+  being skipped. Eight new `HookGuardTests` cases; 14 of the suite's 26 tests fail against
+  the unpatched guard.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`/add-portal` now specifies how a generated skill handles an API token** (#304) - the command
+  could already scaffold a skill for a portal reachable only through a paid fetching
+  service, but said nothing about the credential such a skill needs. It now checks for that
+  case during reconnaissance and raises the per-call cost with the user *before*
+  scaffolding. That check is explicitly subordinate to the `robots.txt`/terms decision
+  in Step 2.4 - a paid fetching service never launders a refusal, and the credential
+  path exists only for portals whose `robots.txt` permits access but whose bot
+  protection blocks ordinary fetches. The portal-skill contract requires the token to come from a
+  `<SERVICE>_API_TOKEN` environment variable (never a CLI flag, never a fixture) and to
+  fail with `MISSING_CREDENTIALS` when unset; and such a skill's `SKILL.md` must carry a
+  Setup section naming the service, the variable, and the billing. Spec only - no shipped
+  portal needs a credential, so no existing skill changes. Thanks @Haseeb-1698.
+
+- **`/add-portal`'s fetching contract line now states the honest-UA posture** - it read
+  "browser User-Agent", predating the repo-wide shift to honest self-identification
+  (#283, #277 and the portal-CLI fixes that followed). A generated skill now defaults to
+  `Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; <portal>-cli/1.0)` - the convention every shipped portal CLI
+  follows - and escalation to browser headers goes through the robots.txt gate in
+  `09-web-research.md`, never the CLI's default.
+
+- **CI discovers portal CLIs instead of hardcoding them** (#310). The `cli-checks` matrix
+  is now emitted by a `discover-clis` job that finds every `.agents/skills/*/cli/package.json`,
+  so a portal skill added with `/add-portal` gets its `typecheck` and `test` scripts run by CI
+  automatically - on this repo and on any fork - without editing the workflow. Upstream
+  coverage is unchanged (the discovered list on `master` is exactly the six shipped portals).
+  `/add-portal`'s Register step now says so. Thanks @ayobamiseun.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`/upskill` reports are now gitignored at the path the skill actually writes them to.**
+  The ignore rule `upskill/*.md` is rooted (a middle slash anchors a gitignore pattern to the
+  repo root), but `/upskill` is a *skill*, and skills resolve bare relative paths against
+  their own directory - the same observed behavior the `**/job_scraper/*` rules exist for.
+  A report written to `.claude/skills/upskill/upskill/report-*.md` was therefore not ignored
+  (`git check-ignore` confirms it on the unpatched tree), and an upskill report is the
+  candidate's skill gaps and weaknesses measured against named employers - among the most
+  sensitive files the workflow generates. The obvious widening, `**/upskill/*.md`, would have
+  ignored the template's own `.claude/skills/upskill/SKILL.md` (the skill directory shares
+  the name), so the new rule pins the report-file prefix instead: `**/upskill/report-*.md`.
+  Added to `.gitignore` and `security_guards.py`'s `REQUIRED_IGNORE_RULES`, with a
+  `check-ignore`-based test pinning both properties - reports ignored at both depths,
+  `SKILL.md` still tracked - which presence checks alone cannot see.
+
+- **Dropped the phantom `evaluated` value from `seen_jobs.json`'s status vocabulary** (#315).
+  The schema block in the job-scraper skill documented `new/skipped/evaluated/ranked/expired`,
+  but `evaluated` has had no writer and no reader since the initial release - `new`/`skipped`
+  come from `/scrape`, `ranked`/`expired` from `/rank`, and nothing ever set or selected
+  `evaluated`. Post-#269 the tracker owns all lifecycle state after drafting, so the value had
+  no future role either; it is now removed rather than wired up. `/rank` Step 1's `--all`
+  wording ("all non-applied entries") leaned on an `applied` status the schema deliberately
+  lacks and now names what it means: entries of any status, minus the tracker exclusion set.
+  Forks that wrote their own tooling against the documented vocabulary should note the value
+  was never produced by any shipped command.
+
+- **`/apply` archives the job posting while it still holds it** (#306). `/apply` drafted two
+  documents and a tracker row from the full posting, then let the text die with the session;
+  `/outcome` Step 3.2 tried to recover it by re-fetching a `source` URL the spec itself expects
+  to be dead, and a posting pasted from an email or a PDF had no `source` to re-fetch at all.
+  Step 6b item 7 now writes the posting verbatim to
+  `documents/applications/<company>_<role>/job_posting.md`, never a re-fetch or a
+  reconstruction from memory; an existing file is left alone (a re-application to the same
+  company and role keeps the earlier posting) and named in the report. Step 0 and the `/scrape`
+  path (`job-application-assistant` SKILL.md Step 1) retain the full posting text, not a
+  summary. Pinned by `tests/test_apply_records_application.py`.
+
+- **Tracker status enum defined once; `offer declined`/`no response` now reach the correct
+  `/html-report` bucket and `/gmail-sync` correctly marks them final** (#298). The tracker
+  CSV `status` column had no single authoritative definition. Six command files restated it
+  independently with inconsistent spellings, producing two concrete bugs:
+
+  - `/outcome` Step 4 wrote `no response` and `offer declined` (with spaces). `/html-report`
+    Step 1 normalised only `no_response` / `offer_declined` (underscores), so any row written
+    with spaces matched no bucket and was silently dropped from the rejection-rate denominator.
+  - `/gmail-sync` Step 2 defined the "final" set with the space forms, so a row written with
+    underscores was never recognised as final and the sync kept chasing closed applications.
+  - `/html-report` included `interview_only` in the tracker bucket map; that value belongs to
+    the archive `outcome.md` `Status:` field, not the CSV `status` column.
+
+  Fix: a `## Tracker status vocabulary` block in `/outcome` (the only writer of the CSV)
+  now defines the canonical set once with underscore spellings and the **Final** set by
+  explicit list — everything else, `drafted` included, is **Open**. The legacy space
+  spellings are the same values, not separate statuses: equally **Final**, and every rule
+  that names one form applies to the other — readers must accept them on read, and never
+  write them. Every reader that makes final/open decisions references that block (`/apply`
+  Step 6b, `/interview` Step 0, `/gmail-sync` Step 2, `/html-report` Step 1, `/notion-sync`
+  Steps 3-4). `/outcome` Step 4 writes `no_response` / `offer_declined`; `/notion-sync`
+  normalises both forms to the canonical spellings before setting the Status property;
+  `/html-report`'s bucket map loses `interview_only`, keeps both spellings, and gains a
+  case-insensitive catch-all that maps unrecognised values to **Rejected/Closed** and names
+  them once in the status breakdown. Pinned by `tests/test_tracker_status_vocab.py`.
+
+  **Fork heads-up:** if your personalized `/outcome` adds `no response` or `offer declined`
+  (space forms) to the tracker write path, swap them for the underscore forms. Existing rows
+  keep working because every reader now accepts both spellings on read. If your Notion
+  database already carries space-form Status options, they simply go unused — Notion never
+  auto-removes select options.

   It compares the `framework_version` markers in your framework files against upstream and lists exactly which methodology files changed, with the diff command for each.
+
+   Two tools answer two different questions, and it's worth running both:
+   - **`check_upstream_updates.py`** — *which of my personalized files changed?* It reads the `framework_version` stamp on each methodology file, so it flags exactly the customized files a release touched.
+   - **`upstream_triage.py`** — *which upstream commits deserve my attention?* It walks the commits you're behind and sorts them into "worth reviewing" vs "probably skip", dropping anything you've already cherry-picked (matched by `git patch-id`, so ported work falls off with no bookkeeping), commits that only touch files your fork removed, and SHAs you've listed in `.github/upstream-wontport.txt`. It's report-only — it prints ready-to-run `git cherry-pick` lines but never merges, pushes, or opens a PR, because on a fork "applies cleanly" isn't "correct".

+     ```bash

+
+     Forks also inherit a `.github/workflows/upstream-watch.yml` that runs this weekly and writes the result into a single rolling issue (it no-ops on the upstream template itself, and stays disabled on a fork until you enable Actions).
 3. **Merge normally.** `git merge upstream/master` (or `git pull`) three-way-merges upstream's edits around your personalization; because methodology edits rarely touch the lines `/setup` filled in, most updates land cleanly. A conflict in a personalized file is a *feature*, not a failure — it means upstream changed methodology in a section you customized, and the version marker plus its changelog commit tell you why. Resolve by keeping your data and adopting the methodology change around it.

+"""Guards for the tracker status vocabulary (issue #298).
+
+The tracker CSV `status` column has a single authoritative definition in
+/outcome's "Tracker status vocabulary" block. Every reader that mentions
+final or open statuses must defer to that block or explicitly accept both
+the canonical underscore spellings and the legacy space spellings on read.
+
+These tests pin the two concrete bugs that opened #298:
+
+1. `offer declined` (space form, written by the old /outcome Step 4) landed
+   in no /html-report bucket, silently shrinking the rejection-rate denominator.
+2. `interview_only` was listed as a tracker bucket value in /html-report, but
+   it belongs to the archive outcome.md Status: enum, never the CSV column.
+
+They also pin the review findings on the fix itself:
+
+3. The space spellings are the same statuses as the underscore forms (equally
+   Final), so a reader applying the lists literally cannot land on "not Final,
+   not Open, undefined" - which would otherwise misroute a closed application
+   in /apply's append-vs-update decision.
+4. The vocabulary block must not split Step 1's numbered list: section-scoped
+   reads of Step 1 must still see items 2-4.
+5. /html-report's bucket map needs a catch-all so no tracker value drops out of
+   the stats silently, and /notion-sync must normalise space forms before
+   writing Status (Notion auto-creates a select option per unique string).
+6. /apply and /interview make status decisions and must anchor them to the
+   block, not restate an ad-hoc set.
+
+They follow the CASES-table pattern from test_apply_records_application.py so
+that adding a new reader is a one-line addition to READER_CASES.

+"""Triage upstream commits this fork has not picked up yet.
+
+Emits a Markdown report that sorts the behind-list into "worth reviewing" vs
+"probably skip", so a human decides what to merge/port. It never merges,
+pushes, or edits anything - it only reads git history and prints. This is the
+deliberate report/act boundary: on a fork "applies cleanly" is not "correct" -
+a commit for portals the fork dropped can cherry-pick fine and still be wrong,
+and that silent-wrong case is worse than a conflict. So the report stops at
+ready-to-run cherry-pick lines; a human runs them.
+
+This is the commit-level companion to check_upstream_updates.py. That tool
+answers "which of my personalized framework files changed" (version stamps);
+this one answers "which upstream commits deserve my attention" (commit history).
+Two tools, two questions - each cross-references the other in its output.
+
+Two signals drive the sort:
+
+1. Already applied? A cherry-pick lands with a NEW sha but the same patch, so a
+   raw sha comparison misreports it as missing. We compute git patch-ids for the
+   fork-only commits and treat any upstream commit whose patch-id (or exact
+   subject) matches as already applied.
+
+2. Relevant to this fork? A commit that only touches files this fork deleted
+   (e.g. removed demo portals) is almost certainly N/A. We check each commit's
+   touched paths against the working tree and flag accordingly.
+
+Usage: python tools/upstream_triage.py [--remote upstream] [--branch master]
+Exits 0 always (a report, not a gate). Prints a note to stderr and exits 0 if
+the upstream ref is unavailable, so a scheduled job degrades gracefully.

Angelina Lok Angelina Lok Claude Opus 4.7	670d30ae7e	feat(upstream): add commit-level triage and weekly watch for forks (#305 ) (#320 ) Forks tracking this template face a weekly "which of these commits do I actually care about?" question. check_upstream_updates.py answers it at the file level (version stamps); this adds the commit-level half. tools/upstream_triage.py walks the commits a fork is behind and splits them into "worth reviewing" and "probably skip". Work already ported drops off on its own via git patch-id, commits touching only files the fork removed are set aside, and SHAs in .github/upstream-wontport.txt stay hidden. It reports and nothing more - ready-to-run cherry-pick lines, but no merge, push, or PR, since on a fork "applies cleanly" is not "correct". .github/workflows/upstream-watch.yml runs it weekly into one rolling issue. It no-ops on the upstream template (guarded, and pinned by a test) and uses only the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN, so it can never write outside its own fork. The two tools point at each other in their output; README, SETUP 8, and CHANGELOG introduce them together. Tests cover patch-id matching, relevance filtering, the won't-port list, and the workflow guard - all offline.

Ayobami Adegoke	cfd9a9fba1	fix(security): gitignore /upskill reports at the path the skill writes them (#317 ) The upskill/.md rule is rooted, but /upskill is a skill and skills resolve bare relative paths against their own directory - the same observed behavior the /job_scraper rules exist for. A report at .claude/skills/upskill/upskill/report-.md was not ignored, and an upskill report records the candidate's skill gaps against named employers. */upskill/.md would also ignore the skill's own SKILL.md (the directory shares the name), so the new rule pins the report-file prefix: */upskill/report-.md. Added to .gitignore and REQUIRED_IGNORE_RULES, with a check-ignore-based test pinning both properties.	2026-08-11 19:07:21 +02:00
Ayobami Adegoke	1ab6c78332	docs(scraper): drop the phantom 'evaluated' status from seen_jobs.json vocabulary (#316 ) The schema documented new/skipped/evaluated/ranked/expired, but 'evaluated' has had no writer and no reader since the initial release, and post-#269 the tracker owns all lifecycle state after drafting. Also tightens /rank Step 1's '--all' wording, which leaned on an 'applied' status the schema deliberately lacks. Closes #315	2026-08-11 19:03:07 +02:00
Mads LorentzenandClaude Fable 5	0dc0f562fc	docs(add-portal): honest-UA fetching contract line; relocate #304 entry to Unreleased The contract's Fetching line still said "browser User-Agent", predating the honest-UA posture (#283/#277). It now names the shipped convention and routes browser-header escalation through the 09-web-research robots gate. Also moves #304's CHANGELOG entry out of the released 1.4.0 section - the branch predated the release cut, so the three-way merge landed it there - into [Unreleased]/Changed where it belongs.

Muhammad HaseebandClaude Opus 5	234c5d4ff5	docs(add-portal): specify credential handling for portals needing an API token (#304 ) * docs(add-portal): specify credential handling for portals needing an API token /add-portal can already scaffold a skill for a portal that returns usable content only through a paid fetching service, but the spec says nothing about the credential such a skill needs: no guidance on where it lives, no requirement to document it, no defined failure mode when it is unset, and no point at which the user learns the portal costs money per query. Three additions, all to the generator spec: - Step 2 gains a reconnaissance point for whether the portal needs a credential at all, to be raised with the user before scaffolding. A portal that bills per query is a different proposition from a free one and the user should get to decline it. - The portal-skill contract gains a Credentials rule: environment variable only, named <SERVICE>_API_TOKEN, never a CLI flag (flags leak into shell history and process listings), never in url-reference.md or a fixture, and a MISSING_CREDENTIALS exit rather than a fallthrough to an unauthenticated request that fails confusingly. - SKILL.md for such a skill must carry a Setup section naming the service, the variable, and the per-call billing. Spec only. All six shipped portals are free and unauthenticated, so no existing skill changes and the zero-dependency default is untouched. Evidence this is not speculative: running /add-portal against portals that sit behind bot-detection produced four token-requiring skills in my own fork (Bright Data Web Unlocker), each of which had to invent its own convention for reading, documenting, and failing on the token, because the spec defines none. Verified: lint_skills, check_framework_version, security_guards all OK; python3 -m unittest discover -s tests 196 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(add-portal): subordinate the credential check to the robots.txt decision Review catch: as written, Step 2.5 could be read as "robots.txt or the terms said no, but a paid unlocker gets through, so here is the convention for that" - which would let a paid fetcher launder a robots refusal. That is not the intent and it contradicts the posture settled in #277/#286 (09-web-research.md, tools/robots_check.py): robots.txt is decided first and honestly, and is never overridden by better fetching machinery. State the subordination explicitly in 2.5 rather than leaving it implied by step order, and record it in the changelog entry so the constraint survives later edits to the step. The credential path is for portals whose robots.txt permits access but whose bot protection blocks ordinary fetches - paying for access a site allows, never paying past a site's no. Wording follows the reviewer's suggestion. Verified: lint_skills, check_framework_version, security_guards all OK; python3 -m unittest discover -s tests 219 passed. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-10 21:19:43 +02:00
Muhammad Haseeb	3efc52ebd5	feat(security): hold .claude/settings.json hooks to a reviewed allowlist (#313 ) check_permissions() read permissions.allow and nothing else, so a `hooks` block in the same file passed the guard silently. A hook is strictly more dangerous than a pre-approved permission. A permission pre-approves something Claude may choose to do; a hook runs unconditionally when its event fires, with no prompt and no model decision in between. Cloning the repo and opening it is enough. This is the vector the Shai-Hulud worm used in its August 2026 wave: a SessionStart hook in .claude/settings.json chaining to .claude/math_init.js, executing on session start. https://research.jfrog.com/post/shai-hulud-is-back-august/ For a template that thousands of people are explicitly invited to fork, that is the riskiest key in the file this guard already parses. Follows the established pattern exactly - ALLOWED_HOOKS ships empty, since the template has no hooks, so any addition must be allowlisted in the same PR and is therefore explicit and reviewable. Two details worth reviewing closely: - The hook check runs before the permissions shape guards. Those guards return early, so a file pairing a malformed permissions block with a live hook would otherwise skip the hook check entirely - a fail-open. Pinned by test_hook_is_caught_even_when_permissions_block_is_malformed. - _hook_commands() fails closed. Any hook layout it does not recognise yields a marker that cannot be in the allowlist, so an unfamiliar shape is rejected rather than silently skipped, rather than trusting that the Claude Code schema will not change. Verified: - 8 new HookGuardTests cases; 14 of the suite's 26 tests fail against the unpatched guard, all 26 pass with it - injecting the real worm shape into this repo's own settings.json makes the guard exit 1 naming 'SessionStart:node .claude/math_init.js'; removing it returns OK - lint_skills, check_framework_version, security_guards all OK; python3 -m unittest discover -s tests 219 passed	2026-08-10 21:18:33 +02:00
Mads LorentzenandClaude Fable 5	fab1e78fa2	docs(changelog): entry for #310 dynamic CI portal-CLI discovery Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-09 20:28:37 +02:00
Ayobami Adegoke	f658bb6f9a	ci: discover portal CLIs dynamically so fork-added portals get checked (#310 ) The cli-checks matrix hardcoded the six shipped portals, so a CLI scaffolded by /add-portal in a fork shipped typecheck and test scripts that fork CI never ran - while security_guards.py already globs .agents/*/package.json and covers new portals automatically. A discover-clis job now emits the matrix from .agents/skills//cli/package.json; on upstream it resolves to the same six portals, and a fork-added portal joins the matrix with no workflow edit. /add-portal's Register step now says so.	2026-08-09 20:27:44 +02:00
Jakob Stender Guldberg	0e1a895c4e	fix(apply): archive the job posting while /apply still holds it (#306 ) (#307 ) /apply drafted two documents and a tracker row from the full posting, then let the text die with the session. /outcome Step 3.2 tried to recover it by re-fetching a `source` URL the spec itself expects to be dead, and a posting pasted from an email or a PDF had no `source` to re-fetch at all. Step 6b gains item 7: write the posting verbatim to documents/applications/<company>_<role>/job_posting.md, never a re-fetch or a reconstruction from memory. The folder is derived by citing /outcome Step 1.4 rather than restating the rule, so the two cannot drift. An existing file is left alone and named in the report. Step 0 and the /scrape path (job-application-assistant SKILL.md Step 1) now retain the full posting text rather than a summary, so item 7 has something verbatim to write. Pinned by tests/test_apply_records_application.py.	2026-08-09 20:26:58 +02:00
Oscar Madera	e09d3eb37b	fix(workflow): define tracker status enum once in /outcome, normalise readers (#299 ) * fix(workflow): define tracker status enum once in /outcome, normalise readers (#298) The tracker CSV status column had no single authoritative definition. Six command files restated it with inconsistent spellings, producing two concrete bugs: - /outcome Step 4 wrote o response and offer declined (spaces). /html-report normalised only the underscore forms, so those rows matched no bucket and were silently dropped from the rejection-rate denominator. - /gmail-sync Step 2 hardcoded the final-status set with space spellings, so a row written with underscores was never recognised as final and the sync kept chasing closed applications. - /html-report included interview_only in its tracker bucket map; that value belongs to the archive outcome.md Status: field, not the CSV status column. Fix: add a '## Tracker status vocabulary' block in /outcome (the only CSV writer) defining the canonical underscore spellings once. Every reader now references that block or explicitly lists both spelling forms as read-tolerance for existing trackers. /outcome Step 4 writes no_response and offer_declined. /html-report loses interview_only and gains offer declined as a read-tolerance variant. /notion-sync Step 3 Status select options are aligned to the canonical spellings. Pinned by tests/test_tracker_status_vocab.py (9 new cases following the DraftedMeansDraftedToEveryReader CASES-table pattern). All 205 tests pass. framework_version: 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1 * fix(workflow): address review findings on the tracker status enum (#298) Follow-up to ca40df2, incorporating the maintainer and issue-author reviews. Blockers fixed: - CHANGELOG: the #298 entry had replaced the opening line of the #286 robots entry, leaving its body dangling under the new fork heads-up. Restored the deleted line and made the #298 entry self-contained above it (MadsLorentzen). - /notion-sync Step 4 now normalises legacy space spellings to the canonical underscore forms before setting the Status property. A raw push would auto-create a separate Notion select option per unique string, splitting closed applications across two filter buckets in an existing database (MadsLorentzen). Issue-author findings: - The vocabulary block now states that the space spellings are the same values as the underscore forms, not separate statuses, equally Final. Previously a reader applying the Open/Final lists literally landed on "not Final, not Open, undefined" for `offer declined`, and /apply Step 6b would refresh a closed application's row instead of appending (jakob1379). - The block moved below Step 1's closing --- as its own section: it was splitting Step 1's numbered list and silently truncating section-scoped reads of Step 1 to item 1 (jakob1379). - Open is derived by exclusion from the one explicit Final list, so a new status needs updating in a single place (jakob1379). - /html-report's bucket map gains a case-insensitive catch-all that maps unrecognised values to Rejected/Closed and names them once in the status breakdown - the #298 failure mode with a different input (jakob1379). - /apply Step 6b and /interview Step 0 anchor their final/open decisions to the vocabulary block (jakob1379). - /gmail-sync and /html-report drop their local restatements of the read-tolerance rule (jakob1379). Tests: html-report bucket assertions scoped to the Step 1 section; new pins for the equivalence clause, open-by-exclusion, block placement, the Notion normalisation, and the apply/interview anchors.	2026-08-07 20:47:24 +02:00
