+- Initial guidance is distinct from a completed zero-result search.
+- Search criteria are trimmed and retained for an explicit retry after failure; stale results are cleared before a new request.
+- Results expose a count and bounded recent-update, nearest-deadline and title sorting. Missing deadlines sort last.
+- Missing location and work-arrangement data are disclosed instead of inferred.
+- Cards use equal-height action placement and responsive result controls.

 - **Deployment status:** Gitea pull-request run 609 passed the complete CI job in 4m20s. Deploy was intentionally skipped because the workflow deploys only a `push` to `main`; live remains unchanged. No merge/deployment was performed directly, no production migrations were run and the AI operation worker remains disabled by default.
 - **Production status:** Unchanged and unverified. No provider/model call, model pull, external request or paid API occurred.
 - **Known regressions:** None found by automated/local browser checks. Jest still needs `--forceExit` and reports its existing open-handle notice. Email-provider/send tests are fake/local only; real delivery is not claimed. Current MAIL browser evidence is 1280×720 only because the browser surface could not resize or perform native Tab traversal. Interrupted attempts are aged after 15 minutes and notified without retry; the five-minute scan is unmeasured on a large ledger. Direct clean EF-only SQLite migration still hits the pre-existing historical blank-chain defect before later migrations; normal startup owns reconciliation. Cross-feature monthly AI usage accounting remains a rollout gap.

 - **Decisions still required from the user:** none for synthetic/code-inspected repository work. Any provider connection or send test, internet/package upgrades, private data, external/paid providers and production actions retain explicit approval/safety gates; SEC-009 retention/legal policy remains unresolved.
