LeoWinston-9596andClaude Opus 4.8 2e654d68d2 feat(05): state in-progress qualifications explicitly; check tenure against output (#210)
Two profile-accuracy rules for the CV guide.

**In-progress qualifications.** A bare year range is not enough: an entry
reading 2025-2026, seen partway through 2026, reads as a finished degree,
because a skimming reader treats a closed range as closed. A profile
statement saying "currently completing" does not fix it - the education
entry is where a reader checks the credential, so it has to stand alone.
Claiming a credential not yet held is discovered at transcript or
reference check rather than at interview, and it costs nothing to
prevent. Adds the LaTeX form and a check that the profile statement,
education entry and any availability note agree on one completion date.

**Tenure against visible output.** A two-year role represented by a
single project reads as low output whether or not that is fair; the
reader cannot know what filled the time, so they guess. Hits career
changers, long-cycle work (industrial, clinical, research) and anyone
kept on a single account. Three honest fixes in preference order -
surface more real work, make the phases within the role explicit, name
what made the cycle long - and an explicit prohibition on the two
dishonest ones: never pad with invented projects, never quietly shorten
employment dates. Both are discoverable and worse than the perception
problem. If the ratio survives the fixes the interview question is
coming, so the answer belongs in interview prep rather than improvised.
