Oscar MaderaandJakob Stender Guldberg c855e11d22 fix(tracker): persist the application deadline end to end (#319 ) (#324 )

The deadline is written at every moment it is provably in hand and survives
every write that follows: seen_jobs.json base field, /rank stored-value urgency
+ expiry sweep with Step 4 persistence, tracker 14th column with header-line-only
migration for existing files, /scrape-path extraction (assistant SKILL.md 1.3.2
-> 1.3.3), preserve-unparsed-fields in /outcome and /gmail-sync, notion-sync
deadline precedence. Design, scope analysis, and the folded refinements by
jakob1379 (#319, #328).

Job Application Assistant

Workflow

When the user provides a job posting (URL or text), follow this workflow:

Step 1: Research & Evaluate Fit

Fetch the job posting content (use WebFetch for URLs). A 403 is not a dead end - follow the escalation order in 09-web-research.md before concluding a page is unavailable, and prefer the employer's own careers posting over an aggregator listing
Keep the full posting text verbatim for Step 3b to archive - never a summary
Analyze the posting for required competencies, keywords, and priorities
Research the company (website, LinkedIn, mission, recent news), per 09-web-research.md
Score the posting against the candidate's profile using the framework in 04-job-evaluation.md
Present the evaluation table and verdict
Suggest whether the candidate should call the employer before applying (see 04-job-evaluation.md for guidance)
Ask the user if they want to proceed with an application

Step 2: Tailor CV

Read the most relevant existing CV variant from cv/ as a starting point
Follow the guidelines in 05-cv-templates.md
Create cv/main_<company>_<role>.tex with tailored content
Adjust: profile statement, skills section, experience bullet emphasis, section order

Step 3: Write Cover Letter

Follow the writing style rules in 03-writing-style.md (critical: no em-dashes, no cliches)
Follow the template structure in 06-cover-letter-templates.md
Create cover_letters/cover_<company>_<role>.tex
Ensure the letter connects specific experience to the role requirements

Step 3b: Record the Application

Run this once both documents exist. A CV or cover letter drafted alone is not yet an application.
Follow /apply Step 6b (.claude/commands/apply.md) exactly: same header, same match-then-update rule, same drafted row, same posting archive, same prohibition on touching job_scraper/seen_jobs.json. It is stated there once so the two paths cannot drift. Four of its values are named in /apply's own terms: cv_file/cover_letter_file are the paths written in Steps 2 and 3 here, source is the posting URL from Step 1, deadline is the application deadline from the posting text Step 1 keeps verbatim (empty when the posting states none - never guess one), and the posting text item 7 archives is the one Step 1 read.
This step exists here because /scrape Step 5 routes straight into this skill. Without it, that path writes two documents and records nothing.

Step 4: Interview Preparation

Follow the framework in 07-interview-prep.md
Prepare STAR-format answers for likely questions
Identify role-specific talking points
Draft questions the candidate should ask the interviewer
