Unblocks the documented core workflow and closes the AI-service exposure,
without changing existing behaviour.
Job/JobApplication split (additive; see ADR-002):
- New Job entity (the opportunity) with owner-scoped query filter; nullable
JobApplication.JobId FK. Nothing reads Job yet.
- Migration AddJobEntityAndProspectStages, hand-edited to drop reconciler-owned
tables the scaffolder re-emitted; verified against the real dev DB.
Pipeline: 10 internal stages across three concerns kept separate —
PipelineStage (workflow) / PipelineGroup (UI: NotApplied/Active/Closed) /
PipelineCategory (analytics). Adds Saved/Interested/Preparing/Withdrawn;
keeps Waiting and Ghosted. Kanban shows 3 grouped columns; cards keep a stage
chip and full transitions; drag applies only safe transitions (never infers
Ghosted/Withdrawn).
DateApplied nullable + SavedAt. Cleared when leaving Applied so analytics stay
accurate; the discarded date is preserved as an AppliedDateCleared JobEvent.
AI service lockdown: no host port; private ai_internal network (backend is the
only other member); X-Ai-Service-Token required on all non-/health endpoints;
AI_SERVICE_TOKEN mandatory via compose. Verified backend-only against the live
stack.
Also carries two pre-existing working-tree files (views/ProfilePage.tsx,
views/CareerWorkspacePage.tsx) so the tree is clean for the branch integration.
Tests: +40 backend (247 total), +5 sidecar (16), +15 frontend.

Global @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) rule in MuiCssBaseline
collapses every animation/transition duration to near-zero at once --
covers MUI's own Dialog/Menu/Collapse/ripple transitions and every
hover-lift added below, so accessibility doesn't need re-checking
per-component as more motion gets added later.
Dashboard stat tiles and Kanban cards get a subtle hover lift (shadow
deepens, translateY(-2px)/-1px), matching the hover pattern the
landing page's feature cards already had -- these are the two places
a small lift reads as an affordance rather than noise: stat tiles are
dashboard-customization-adjacent, and kanban cards are literally
draggable, so the lift reinforces the existing grab-cursor signal
instead of competing with it. Left everything else alone -- most
cards on this app hold passive content, not something to invite a
hover response.
The mockup's kanban columns have no border, just a light grey
background -- this instance used multi-line sx formatting
(border/borderColor on separate lines) so it slipped past the earlier
single-line-substring grep sweep. Caught by a follow-up multi-line
search across the whole frontend for the same pattern; nothing else
turned up except a legitimate circular crop-tool boundary in
CropImageDialog, which correctly stays as-is.
Continuing the product/UX review's deferred items:
- Every top-level view now gets a one-line subtitle under its title
(Dashboard/Jobs/Kanban/Reminders/Correspondence/Gmail review) stating
what that specific view is for, instead of navigation being the only
signal of what each page does.
- Correspondence inbox and Gmail review queue cross-link to each other
instead of being two unexplained flat sidebar items -- kept both nav
entries (renaming/nesting risked breaking muscle memory) but made the
relationship between them explicit in the UI itself.
- Kanban board switches to a horizontal scroll-snap row on phone-width
viewports instead of stacking all 5 columns vertically, which meant
a lot of scrolling to see anything past "Applied".
- Match-score ring gets an aria-label with the actual percentage --
it was two nested decorative CircularProgress elements with no
accessible text. (Keyboard-accessible status changes on kanban cards
were already covered by the existing "..." menu -- no gap there.)
First pass of the /frontend-design overhaul against the mockups at
F:\Pictures\website\jobtracker\new. Two highest-leverage gaps from the
backlog note ("dark sidebar, KPI cards, exact status colours"):
- AppShell: nav rail is now a fixed dark navy (#0f172a) regardless of
the app's light/dark theme toggle, matching the mockup's signature
look -- selected item gets an indigo-tinted pill + icon accent,
muted slate text for the rest. Kept icon+label rows (mockup's sidebar
is text-only) since the existing collapsed-sidebar mode depends on
icons; that's a deliberate deviation, not an oversight.
- JobbjaktMark: replaced the briefcase glyph with the gradient
checkmark-in-square mark used throughout the mockups (hero, dashboard,
kanban) -- also fixed a latent SVG gradient id collision across
multiple rendered instances via useId().
- KanbanBoard: mockup uses color sparingly (a small dot in the column
header, a 4px accent on the card's left edge) rather than tinting the
whole column/card background as the previous version did. Reworked
to match; also swapped card title/subtitle order (job title bold,
company/location as subtitle) per the mockup.
Remaining for follow-up passes: Dashboard KPI card layout and the job
workspace (candidate-fit ring, AI summary card) -- both structurally
close already but not yet pixel-matched.
Verified: `next build` clean, all 57 frontend tests green, dark
sidebar confirmed live (computed bg #0f172a) against a running dev
server with light content mode forced.
Introduces pipeline.ts (mirrors backend JobPipeline) as the one frontend
source of truth for canonical stages, synonym normalization, tone, and
localized labels. Replaces the status list/logic previously duplicated
across KanbanBoard, JobTable, AddJobModal and EditJobDialog.
- KanbanBoard/AddJobModal/EditJobDialog render from PIPELINE_STATUSES
- JobTable uses shared statusTone + statusLabel (status chips now
localized; NB gets proper labels, English unchanged)
- Edit dialog status dropdown is now localized too
- 5 unit tests; full frontend suite green (19 suites / 41 tests)
