fix(career): preserve reviewed profile values

Keep extraction heuristics out of manual save, version, and import paths so reviewed locations, URLs, dates, and languages round-trip unchanged.

+### Reviewed-value persistence boundary (2026-08-15)
+
+Extraction payloads continue through `StructuredCvProfileJson.Normalize`, which applies heuristics
+to reject parser noise and infer locations, URLs, roles, dates and languages. Once a profile reaches
+the editable Career surface, it is reviewed user data: `NormalizeForPersistence`,
+`SerializePersisted` and `DeserializePersisted` only trim/dedupe structural values and must not
+reinterpret them. This separation prevents a manual website path, free-form date or location such
+as "Remote across Europe" from changing on save, version restore, import merge or a legacy
+projection read. `CareerProfileValidator` rejects oversized reviewed values explicitly instead of
+silently discarding them.
+
 This mirrors the additive, non-destructive philosophy of Phase 0/ADR-002: introduce the new model,
 keep the old surface working via a derived projection, flip readers later.

 - **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.
