The timeline could interpret InterviewScheduled, InterviewCompleted,
OfferReceived and FollowUpCompleted, but only StatusChanged and FollowUpSet were
ever written, so those branches never rendered.
Events are now derived from the status TRANSITION in one shared emitter rather
than at each call site, so the two status-change boundaries in
JobApplicationsController cannot drift apart and a third would get the behaviour
for free. Both boundaries now call it instead of hand-writing the StatusChanged
block.
Deriving from the transition rather than the resulting state is what prevents
duplicates: one user action produces at most one lifecycle event, re-saving an
unchanged status produces none, and reaching an offer twice records it once.
Moving an application backwards is treated as a correction, not a completed
interview, so only a forward move out of an interview stage counts. An
Interview to Offer move reports the offer, which is the thing the user cares
about.
Completing a follow-up checklist item emits FollowUpCompleted, guarded on the
same transition rule so re-saving a done item stays silent. The task itself
remains a checklist item — this only records that it happened.
No new history store: every event is a JobEvent row, which stays the single
source of application history.
393 backend tests pass, including timeline rendering of the emitted events.

Evolve the existing readiness workflow into one persisted, user-controlled
checklist rather than adding a second tracker.
ApplicationChecklistItem records only completion state and user intent. Each
default system item carries a stable SystemKey and an AutoSignal — the same
signal /readiness already computed — and re-syncs on every read: a satisfied
signal auto-completes the item, a reverted signal reopens it, and a manual tick
always wins. Users can add, reorder, dismiss and delete.
Readiness is refactored into a projection of the checklist (score = completion
percentage, completed/missing = live items by status). Its DTO shape and the
workflowSignal/reminders health view are unchanged, so no API contract breaks.
The workspace's next recommended action now comes from the first pending
checklist item in category priority order (preparation, submission, follow-up,
interview, custom), replacing the parallel ruleset — so the overview can never
recommend something already ticked off, and a user's own task can be next.
The table follows the established MariaDB-safe path: the scaffolded migration is
a no-op and the idempotent reconciler owns the DDL for both providers. Verified
on MariaDB 11 — auto_increment PK, varchar/datetime(6)/tinyint(1) columns, both
indexes inside the key limit, cascade delete, unique system key per application,
and NULL system keys not colliding for custom items.
329 backend tests, 94 frontend tests, type check, production build and both
Docker builds pass locally.
