Backlog item 4 (Wave 3, first sub-item). HasResume/HasCoverLetter/HasPortfolio/
HasOtherAttachment were manually-editable checkboxes in EditJobDialog,
completely independent of whether a file was actually attached -- classic
drift: mark 'resume ready' by hand, later delete the resume attachment, flag
stays stuck true forever. User confirmed (asked directly, since removing the
manual-override capability is a product decision, not purely technical):
make them fully computed from Attachments, no manual override.
- AttachmentsController.RecomputeAttachmentFlagsAsync: the single place these
four fields get written now, called after every attachment mutation
(upload, delete, Purpose change) that could affect them. Deliberately kept
as persisted columns (not [NotMapped] computed properties reading the
Attachments navigation collection) -- ~15 query sites build JobApplication
DTOs without .Include(Attachments), so a live-computed property would
silently return false everywhere instead of throwing, the worst kind of
bug. Recomputing at the one write funnel avoids touching any read path.
- Removed HasResume/etc from CreateJobApplicationRequest/
UpdateJobApplicationRequest -- no longer client-settable.
- EditJobDialog: removed the manual checkboxes, kept the (now genuinely
accurate) read-only status chips.
- AddJobModal: stopped sending has*-flags at job-creation time; the
follow-up attachment upload call now sets them correctly via the same
recompute path.
Caught a real bug while testing this: the Purpose-change path recomputed
before saving the Purpose change, so a fresh query missed the pending edit
and the flags never updated. Fixed by committing the mutation before
recomputing.
3 new backend tests (purpose-change sets flag, delete clears flag,
non-primary purpose counts as "other"). 172/172 backend, 25/25 frontend
suites (57 tests) green.
