refactor(gmail): route controller read paths through IEmailProvider

GmailController now resolves the "gmail" provider from IEmailProviderRegistry and
uses the provider-neutral seam for its read paths — message search (SearchAsync)
and thread listing (ListThreadMessagesAsync) across ImportThread, RelinkThread,
CreateSuggestedJob, RefreshLinkedThreads and the messages endpoint. OAuth
(connect/callback), connection status and Gmail-specific candidate ranking stay
on IGmailOAuthService until they are generalised.

An optional constructor param keeps direct construction (tests) working via a
fallback single-Gmail registry, so the mocked Gmail service is exercised through
GmailProvider. Behaviour is preserved (neutral DTOs mirror the Gmail shapes).

This makes the seam a real consumer and sets up MicrosoftGraphProvider /
ImapProvider / a manual free-text provider to slot in next.

Build clean; backend suite 135/135 green.

Reusing the S06 runner output as the canonical source keeps reruns idempotent, prevents drift between generated logs and human summary text, and gives downstream slices one stable place for detailed evidence plus one concise dependency summary. | Yes | agent |
 | D017 | M005 planning | delivery | How M005 execution should be staged and published | Execute M005 one slice at a time, verify each slice independently, push each slice on its own git branch, then continue to the next slice only after the prior slice is stable. | The CV intelligence/export milestone is high-risk and multi-layered. Slice-by-slice branching and push discipline will keep extraction, tailored draft, and PDF rendering changes reviewable and reduce regression blast radius. | Yes | human |
 | D018 | M005 planning | verification | What document corpus should drive universal CV extraction verification | Use the real CV files placed in /home/pi/cvs as a regression corpus for universal extractor work, alongside synthetic/unit fixtures. | A universal CV extractor cannot be validated only against synthetic fixtures. Real CVs with different layouts, OCR quality, and structure are required to test extraction, review UX, and rendering assumptions. | Yes | human |
+| D019 | M011/S01 | frontend-platform | How to handle frontend build-tool risk during the initial platform hardening slice | Remediate the direct critical frontend dependency immediately, keep the CRA baseline for the next hardening slice, and defer the broader frontend build-tool migration to a later dedicated implementation step. | The audit showed one critical direct dependency issue (`axios`) and a large remaining body of transitive risk concentrated behind `react-scripts`. Upgrading the direct dependency removed the critical finding with low change surface, restored a reproducible local and Docker build baseline, and avoids coupling S02 auth/session work to a framework migration. The remaining CRA transitive debt is still real, but it is now a contained follow-on migration concern rather than an immediate blocker. | Yes | agent |
+| D020 | M011/S02 | authentication | What session transport should replace browser-stored bearer tokens in the frontend and API | Use an HttpOnly cookie-backed app session for the primary local auth path, have the API read the local app JWT from a secure cookie instead of browser storage, keep Google credential exchange server-side, and add CSRF protection for state-changing requests. | The current design stores the app bearer token in localStorage/sessionStorage and attaches it via an Authorization header on every request, which leaves the primary local auth path exposed to XSS-driven token theft. A cookie-backed session keeps the app token out of browser storage, lets the API enforce the local auth path centrally, preserves existing JWT-based authorization semantics on the server, and gives the frontend a cleaner source of truth through `/auth/me` and explicit unauthorized responses. Adding CSRF protection alongside the cookie keeps state-changing requests safe under the new transport. | Yes | agent |
+| D021 | M011/S03/T01 | frontend-architecture | How to centralize degraded-state handling for the core frontend views in S03. | Use a lightweight shared frontend async-view-state pattern for S03 instead of introducing a new global data-fetching framework in this slice. | The current risk is not lack of a full query library; it is that core views swallow request failures into empty arrays or nulls and then render normal empty states. A small shared abstraction for loading/empty/error/retry state can retire that product risk quickly across the highest-traffic views without broadening S03 into a framework migration or destabilizing the existing app. | Yes | agent |

+# Smart Gmail Job Correspondence Integration Progress
+
+## Branch
+- main
+
+## Status
+- Core Phase 1 Gmail correspondence feature is now implemented in code.
+- Remaining gap is deployment/runtime rollout on the live host, not missing product logic in this repo.
+
+## Completed
+
+### Foundation
+- Gmail OAuth connect/disconnect/status flow preserved.
+- Durable Gmail sync-state fields added and surfaced from `GET /api/gmail/status`.
+- Per-job correspondence UI shows Gmail sync diagnostics.
+
+### Ingestion and storage
+- Imported Gmail correspondence stores:
+  - direction
+  - Gmail labels JSON
+  - attachment metadata JSON
+- Gmail payload parsing extracts labels and attachment metadata.
+- Message-level deduplication remains in place.
+- Linked-thread refresh continues to import only new thread messages.
+
+### Matching and routing
+- Deterministic scoring extracted to `JobTrackerApi/Services/GmailJobMatchingService.cs`.
+- Review queue backend exists at `GET /api/gmail/review-candidates`.
+- Review decisions persist through `POST /api/gmail/review-decision`.
+- Manual sync now exists at `POST /api/gmail/manual-sync`.
+- Manual sync applies a bounded historical window and excludes spam/trash by default.
+- High-confidence matches now auto-link during manual sync.
+- Medium-confidence matches remain in review.
+- Low-confidence job-like threads can be marked as suggested jobs.
+- Suggested-job surfaces now exist via:
+  - `GET /api/gmail/suggested-jobs`
+  - `POST /api/gmail/create-suggested-job`
+
+### Correspondence UX
+- Global inbox exists at `/correspondence`.
+- Gmail review page exists at `/correspondence/review`.
+- Review page now supports:
+  - manual sync
+  - routing filters
+  - review notes
+  - link/review/reject/suggested actions
+  - create-job flow from suggested Gmail threads
+- Per-job correspondence workspace now supports:
+  - linked-thread refresh
+  - unlink thread from current job
+  - move/relink thread to another existing job
+- Backend relink/unlink endpoints now exist:
+  - `POST /api/gmail/relink-thread`
+  - `POST /api/gmail/unlink-thread`
+
+### Phase 2 prep
+- Future seam remains in place at `JobTrackerApi/Services/GmailCorrespondenceEnrichment.cs`.
+- Design doc remains in place at `docs/gmail-correspondence-phase1.md`.
+
+### Deployment hardening
+- Added deploy smoke-check logic to `deploy/deploy.sh`.
+- Deploy now fails if `${APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL}/api/auth/config` returns HTML or non-JSON instead of backend auth config JSON.
+
+## Verification completed
+- `dotnet test JobTrackerApi.Tests/JobTrackerApi.Tests.csproj --filter GmailControllerTests /p:DisableSourceControlManagerQueries=true`
+- `cd job-tracker-ui && CI=true ./node_modules/.bin/react-scripts test --runInBand --watch=false src/correspondence-gmail-import.test.tsx src/gmail-review-page.test.tsx src/correspondence-inbox-page.test.tsx`
+- `dotnet build './Job tracker.sln' -c Release`
+
+## Runtime note
+- Live host check shows `https://jobs.cesnimda.uk/api/auth/config` currently returns the frontend HTML shell (`x-powered-by: Express`) instead of backend JSON.
+- That is a deployment/proxy mismatch outside the app code in this checkout.
+- The new deploy smoke-check was added so future deploys fail fast on that condition.
+
+## Resume notes
+- If the live site still shows 404s for `/api/...`, the running service is not the repo’s Dockerized frontend+backend path.
+- The CRA/Express-style live response and websocket attempts to `:3000/ws` suggest an old dev-style frontend process or wrong reverse-proxy target is still serving the domain.

+# Merge Request — Wave 0 quick wins + Tier-1/Tier-2 features
+
+**Branch:** `chore/wave0-quick-wins` → `main`
+**Scope:** 24 commits · 62 files · +3,165 / −489
+**Status:** all tests green (backend 135, frontend 23 suites / 54 tests), production build compiles.
+
+> Prepared for human review. Do **not** auto-merge. One operator action is required after merge
+> (DataProtection key rotation — see *Known limitations*).
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Delivers the first two roadmap tiers plus the engineering-health groundwork, developed as small
+conventional commits. Two design principles run through it:
+
+1. **Deterministic over "AI-guessy."** Match scoring, status suggestions, and pipeline logic are
+   pure/deterministic — instant, reproducible, and safe (the user confirms every state change). This
+   directly answers the market's most common complaint (hallucinated/generic AI output).
+2. **One pathway, not two.** The bookmarklet and the PWA share-target feed a single `/?add=` capture
+   flow rather than parallel implementations.
+
+## What's included
+
+**Engineering health (Wave 0)**
+- `security:` untracked committed DataProtection keys + daily exports; removed dead legacy controllers.
+- `feat:` automated daily SQLite backups (`VACUUM INTO`, retention, startup catch-up) — prod previously
+  had **no** automated backup on Linux.
+- `ci:` run the **entire** frontend suite (the old whitelist was hiding 3 broken suites, now fixed).
+- `feat:` dev-only OpenAPI at `/openapi/v1.json`; `feat:` structured salary fields.
+
+**Tier-1 features**
+- **Match score** (`GET /jobapplications/{id}/match-score`) — deterministic CV↔job keyword coverage
+  (0–100) + matched/missing keywords + section coverage. Instant panel on the Candidate Fit tab.
+- **Canonical pipeline** — `JobPipeline` single source of truth; status normalized on write (custom
+  values preserved); UI deduped across 5 files; `GET .../pipeline`.
+- **Analytics v2** — time-in-stage medians (from `StatusChanged` history) + funnel driven by the
+  pipeline (fixes a bug that omitted the Waiting stage).
+- **Status suggestions** — deterministic email→status classifier surfaced as a human-confirmed banner.
+
+**Tier-2 features**
+- **Bookmarklet** quick-capture (Settings) reusing `jobimport/preview`.
+- **Installable PWA** with a mobile share-target into the same capture flow.
+
+**Quality**
+- Phase-6 security review (`docs/SECURITY_REPORT.md`): tenant isolation on new endpoints verified +
+  regression-tested; no injection/ReDoS; dev-only OpenAPI.
+- Bug fixes: `SkillTagger` C#/.NET regex (silently missed those skills everywhere), a React
+  stale-closure, a duplicated DB query, and 3 pre-existing hidden test failures.
+
+## Test coverage added
+
+New pure/unit-tested services: `JobCvMatchService` (7), `JobPipeline` (14), `StageAnalytics` (4),
+`EmailStatusClassifier` (7). New endpoint integration + authorization tests (match-score,
+status-suggestion). New frontend tests: match-score panel, status-suggestion banner, pipeline,
+quick-capture, capture-url resolution.
+
+## Docs
+
+New: `docs/SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md`, `docs/PRODUCT_RESEARCH.md`, `docs/ROADMAP.md`,
+`docs/SECURITY_REPORT.md`. README updated with the new endpoints, backup/pipeline config, and
+quick-capture/PWA notes.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **ACTION REQUIRED (security):** the removed DataProtection key XMLs remain in git **history**.
+  Rotate them on the production host after merge (see `SECURITY_REPORT.md` §6).
+- **Per-user custom pipeline stages** were deliberately deferred (unproven demand; large surface).
+- **No offline service worker** by design — the app deploys frequently and an aggressive cache would
+  risk serving stale builds. The PWA is installable and share-capable without it.
+- Not yet done (future branches): interview hub (M3), contacts CRM (M4), god-controller decomposition,
+  performance pass, Vite migration.
+
+## Reviewer notes
+
+- Repo quirk: controllers/services compile via the `JobTrackerBackend` library, **not** the
+  `JobTrackerApi` host project (see `docs/SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md` §2).
+- All AI-adjacent features are deterministic and make no model calls.

+
+> Phase 2 deliverable. Research conducted 2026-07-02 via web sources (linked throughout).
+> Purpose: position Jobbjakt against the market and rank the features worth building next.
+

+
+## 1. Market landscape
+
+The market splits into five clusters:
+
+| Cluster | Representatives | Model |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Tracker-first + AI resume** | [Teal](https://www.tealhq.com/), [Huntr](https://huntr.co/pricing), JibberJobber | Freemium SaaS; premium $29–40/mo |
+| **Autofill / volume** | [Simplify](https://simplify.jobs/job-application-tracker) (autofill), [LazyApply](https://lazyapply.com/) ($99–999/yr), LoopCV (auto-apply) | Extension-centric |
+| **Matching + copilot** | [Jobright](https://jobright.ai/blog/teal-review-2026-walkthrough-alternatives-and-faqs/) | AI job matching, resume tailoring, autofill |
+| **Resume/ATS optimization** | [Jobscan](https://www.jobscan.co/) ($49.95/mo!), Resume Worded, Rezi | Match-score per job description |
+| **Self-hosted / privacy** | [JobSync](https://github.com/Gsync/jobsync), [CareerSync](https://github.com/Tomiwajin/CareerSync), [career-ops](https://career-ops.org/), various [GitHub projects](https://github.com/topics/job-application-tracker) | OSS, local-first, often Ollama-based |
+| **Email auto-tracking** | [Trackr](https://www.trackrjobs.com/), [G-Track](https://jobtrack-ai.com/gmail-job-tracker), Gmail [Chrome extensions](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gmail-job-application-tra/lkpjngmdfncejiomkofogfdoppgifmkh) | Inbox scanning → status updates |
+
+### Competitor snapshots
+
+**Teal** — market leader for tracker+resume. Free: unlimited tracking, Chrome extension (50+ job boards), kanban (Saved/Applied/Interview/Offer/Rejected), 10 ATS templates, contact manager, ATS score (15 checks). Premium ($9/wk, $29/mo, [$79/qtr](https://www.tealhq.com/pricing)): keyword match scoring, AI bullets/cover letters, analytics. Cons reported: [billing-after-cancellation complaints, generic/hallucinating AI content, ATS failures on two-column templates](https://resumehog.com/blog/posts/teal-hq-review-april-2026-is-the-job-tracker-worth-your-time.html), [high-maintenance workflow, overwhelming UI, poor support](https://resumejudge.com/blog/tealhq-review/), no automation.
+
+**Huntr** — best visual kanban + CRM layer. Free: 100 tracked jobs cap, unlimited base resumes, basic scoring. [Pro $40/mo](https://huntr.co/pricing): AI tailored resumes, unlimited cover letters, advanced matching/insights. 4.9★ extension (clip from any site + autofill). Cons: [must rebuild resume inside their builder, plain templates, free plan stops being useful fast](https://resumejudge.com/blog/huntr-review/), online-only.
+
+**Simplify** — free autofill extension for 100+ ATS portals (Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS), real-time keyword flagging, pipeline tracking. Execution-focused, light on CRM depth.
+
+**Jobscan** — per-job resume match score (1–100, 30+ checks, "aim ≥75%"), cover-letter optimization report. Expensive ($49.95/mo). This single feature is the most-cited reason people pay for job-search tools.
+
+**Email auto-trackers** (Trackr, G-Track, extensions) — scan Gmail, AI-classify (Applied/Next step/Rejected/Offer), auto-update statuses, apply labels. This is rapidly becoming table stakes; users love "zero manual data entry".
+
+**Self-hosted OSS** (JobSync, CareerSync, career-ops) — privacy pitch ("no cloud, no telemetry, no account"), Ollama/local-LLM parsing, but all are far less complete than Jobbjakt: mostly CRUD + basic AI, no CV pipeline, no correspondence CRM, no rules engine.
+
+### Standard vs premium features across the market
+
+- **Table stakes (free everywhere):** kanban board, status stages, notes, basic contact tracking, browser clipper, export.
+- **Premium (what people pay for):** per-job resume↔JD **match scoring with keyword gaps**, AI tailored resumes/cover letters, analytics (response rate, funnel conversion, time-in-stage), email/interview follow-up automation, autofill at scale.
+- **Emerging differentiators:** inbox auto-tracking, interview prep hubs (question banks, scheduling, calendar sync — cf. [interview scheduling tools](https://www.selectsoftwarereviews.com/buyer-guide/interview-scheduling-software)), job-match scoring against a profile, salary/offer comparison.
+
+### Recurring user frustrations (opportunities)
+
+1. **Privacy/data anxiety** — sensitive career data on VC-funded SaaS; [breach/misuse concerns](https://www.saashub.com/compare-job-tracker-by-teal-vs-huntr). Jobbjakt's core moat.
+2. **Paywall fatigue** — free tiers cap exactly at the point of seriousness (Huntr's 100 jobs, Teal's AI credits, Jobscan's 5 scans/mo).
+3. **AI slop** — hallucinated skills, misspelled names, generic bullets; users want AI grounded in *their* real CV (Jobbjakt's structured-CV grounding is the right architecture).
+4. **Manual data entry** — retyping jobs and statuses; solved by clippers + inbox scanning.
+5. **Vendor lock-in** — resumes trapped in proprietary builders (Huntr), hard exports.
+6. **Tool sprawl** — tracker + Jobscan + resume builder + calendar = 4 subscriptions; users want one hub.

+
+**Position:** Jobbjakt is already **ahead of every OSS competitor** and matches or beats paid SaaS on AI drafting, Gmail import, and data ownership. Its gaps versus paid SaaS are: match scoring, canonical pipeline/kanban UX, interview & calendar layer, analytics depth, capture friction (no extension), and contact-level CRM.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Market gap — what would make Jobbjakt significantly better than existing solutions
+
+> **"The private, self-hosted career hub: everything Teal+Huntr+Jobscan charge $70–90/mo for, powered by your own local AI, with your data never leaving your server."**
+
+No product today combines: serious tracker UX + inbox auto-tracking + local-LLM tailoring + match scoring + interview hub, self-hosted. Jobbjakt is uniquely ~60% of the way there.

+
+## 4. Ranked feature ideas (value × effort)
+
+Effort: S (<1 day) · M (1–3 days) · L (1–2 wk) · XL (>2 wk). Grounded in the Phase 1 codebase map.
+
+| # | Feature | User impact | Effort | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **CV↔job match score + keyword gap analysis** (per job: score, missing keywords, section coverage; reuse structured CV JSON + existing Ollama path) | ★★★★★ — the #1 paid feature in the market, free & local here | M–L | Backend has all inputs already; add endpoint + UI panel in job workspace |
+| 2 | **Canonical pipeline + drag-drop kanban** (status enum/ordering, custom stages per user, drive board/badges from it) | ★★★★★ — core daily UX; free-text status blocks analytics too | M–L | Already on README wish list; needs migration for status normalization |
+| 3 | **Analytics dashboard v2** (funnel conversion, response rate, time-in-stage, weekly activity, source effectiveness) | ★★★★ — retention feature; needs #2 for clean stages | M | Data all exists in `JobEvent` history |
+| 4 | **Interview hub** (interview entity: rounds, type, scheduled time, prep notes, outcome; ICS feed/export + reminders) | ★★★★ — biggest functional gap vs SaaS | L | New entity + timeline integration; ICS is cheap, Google Calendar sync later |
+| 5 | **Bookmarklet / minimal browser capture** (one-click "save to Jobbjakt" using existing `jobimport/preview`) | ★★★★ — kills the biggest friction (manual entry); full extension can wait | S–M | Server parsing already exists; a bookmarklet or share-target PWA is days not weeks |
+| 6 | **Contacts (people) CRM** (recruiter/hiring-manager entities linked to companies/jobs/correspondence) | ★★★ | M | Natural extension of company recruiter fields |
+| 7 | **PWA pass** (installable, mobile nav polish, share-target for job URLs) | ★★★ — mobile is where users check status | M | CRA supports PWA manifest; pairs with #5 |
+| 8 | **Salary/offer tracker** (structured salary min/max/currency, offer comparison view) | ★★ | S–M | Currently a free-text field |
+| 9 | **Smarter inbox** (extend existing Gmail review with AI status suggestions: "this looks like a rejection → move to Rejected?") | ★★★★ — compounds an existing unique strength | M | Classification via existing Ollama service |
+| 10 | **Web push / digest notifications** (beyond SMTP) | ★★ | M | Needs service worker (pairs with #7) |
+
+Deliberately **not** recommended: auto-apply bots (ToS/ethics/quality problems, LazyApply-style tools are poorly reviewed), building a full Chrome-store extension now (high maintenance; bookmarklet first), multi-provider cloud AI (undermines the privacy moat — keep local-first with optional cloud later).
+
+## 5. Recommended implementation order (input to Phase 3 roadmap)
+
+1. **Match score + keyword gaps** (#1) — flagship differentiator, builds on freshest code (structured CV).
+2. **Canonical pipeline + kanban** (#2) — unblocks analytics, fixes daily UX.
+3. **Analytics v2** (#3) — quick follow-on.
+4. **Bookmarklet capture** (#5) + **PWA** (#7) — friction killers.
+5. **Interview hub** (#4) — biggest new surface, schedule after the above land.
+6. Then #9, #6, #8, #10 by appetite.
+
+Engineering-health work (CI test whitelist, prod DB backups, god-controller decomposition) is tracked separately in `docs/SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md` §15–17 and should interleave with feature work in Phase 3.

+# ROADMAP.md — Jobbjakt Product & Engineering Roadmap
+
+> Phase 3 deliverable (2026-07-02). Sources: `docs/SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md` (Phase 1) and `docs/PRODUCT_RESEARCH.md` (Phase 2).
+> Scoring: Value/Complexity/Risk on ▲ high / ● medium / ▽ low. Effort: S <1 day · M 1–3 days · L 1–2 wk · XL >2 wk.
+
+**North star:** the private, self-hosted career hub — the tracker UX of Huntr, the tailoring/scoring of Teal+Jobscan, powered by local AI, with data that never leaves your server.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 0 — Quick Wins (do first; days, low risk, compounding payoff)
+
+| # | Item | Type | Value | Effort | Risk | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Q1 | **CI: run the full frontend test suite** (replace the hand-maintained 10-file whitelist with the whole suite; fix/quarantine any flaky test explicitly) | eng | ▲ | S | ▽ | New tests currently silently skipped in CI; already caused a gap once |
+| Q2 | **Automated production DB backup** (scheduled SQLite `VACUUM INTO`/copy to `exports/` with retention; document restore) | eng | ▲ | S–M | ▽ | Prod currently has *no working automated backup* (backup endpoint is Windows-DPAPI-only, prod is Linux) |
+| Q3 | **Repo hygiene** (delete dead root `Controller/`; remove `temp_job.json`, `temp_post_job.py`; gitignore `JobTrackerApi/CvArtifacts/`, `bin_build/`, stray artifacts; commit pending WIP fixes on a branch) | eng | ● | S | ▽ | Removes footguns before refactors; working tree currently dirty |
+| Q4 | **Swagger/OpenAPI** (Swashbuckle or built-in OpenAPI, dev-only exposure) | eng | ● | S | ▽ | README endpoint list already drifts; prerequisite for a generated TS client later |
+| Q5 | **Structured salary fields** (min/max/currency/period alongside the free-text field, backfill-friendly) | product | ● | S–M | ▽ | Cheap now, prerequisite for offer comparison + analytics later |
+
+## Tier 1 — High Value (the differentiators; next 2–4 weeks of feature work)
+
+| # | Item | Value | Effort | Risk | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| H1 | **CV↔Job match score + keyword gap analysis** — per-job score, missing keywords, section coverage; reuse `ProfileCvStructureJson` + existing Ollama path; panel in job workspace | ▲▲ | M–L | ● | The market's #1 paid feature (Jobscan $50/mo), free & local here. Flagship differentiator |
+| H2 | **Canonical pipeline + drag-drop kanban** — status enum + ordering + per-user custom stages; migration normalizing existing free-text statuses; board becomes drag-drop | ▲▲ | M–L | ● | Fixes daily UX; unblocks H3; the riskiest part is the status migration (needs careful mapping + tests) |
+| H3 | **Analytics dashboard v2** — funnel conversion, response rate, time-in-stage, weekly activity, source effectiveness (data already in `JobEvent`) | ▲ | M | ▽ | Depends on H2 for clean stages |
+| H4 | **Gmail AI status suggestions** — extend the existing review queue: classify incoming mail (rejection/interview/offer) via local AI and suggest status moves, human-confirmed | ▲ | M | ● | Compounds an existing unique strength; keep human-in-the-loop |
+
+## Tier 2 — Medium Value (after Tier 1)
+
+| # | Item | Value | Effort | Risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M1 | **Bookmarklet / PWA share-target capture** — one-click save-to-Jobbjakt reusing `jobimport/preview` | ▲ | S–M | ▽ |
+| M2 | **PWA pass** — manifest, installability, mobile nav polish | ● | M | ▽ |
+| M3 | **Interview hub** — interview entity (round, type, time, prep notes, outcome), timeline integration, ICS export + reminders | ▲ | L | ● |
+| M4 | **Contacts (people) CRM** — recruiter/hiring-manager entities linked to companies/jobs/correspondence | ● | M | ▽ |
+| M5 | **Durable CV processing queue** — DB-backed queue replacing in-memory (jobs survive restart) | ● | M | ● |
+| M6 | **ProblemDetails + validation consistency** across API | ● | M | ▽ |
+
+## Tier 3 — Long-Term Improvements (structural; interleave carefully)
+
+| # | Item | Value | Effort | Risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| L1 | **Decompose god controllers** (`JobApplicationsController` 151 KB, `ProfileCvController` 117 KB, `GmailController` 60 KB) into feature services; extract AI prompt construction behind interfaces. Strictly behavior-preserving, test-first, one slice per PR | ▲ (maintainability) | XL | ▲ |
+| L2 | **Finish the project-layout migration** — physically move linked `Models/`/`Data/`/controller/service files into real projects, retire glob-include `JobTrackerBackend` | ● | L | ● |
+| L3 | **Vite migration** (CRA/react-scripts is EOL; 4 GB-heap builds) | ● | L | ● |
+| L4 | **OpenAPI-generated TypeScript client** replacing hand-written `api.ts` surface | ● | M–L | ● |
+| L5 | **Staging environment / deploy gate** (compose profile or second host; smoke test before prod) | ▲ (ops) | L | ● |
+
+## Tier 4 — Future Ideas (not scheduled)
+
+- Full browser extension (Chrome/Firefox store) with autofill.
+- Web push notifications + weekly digest.
+- Company research assistant (local AI summarizing company info).
+- Offer comparison & salary analytics dashboards.
+- Job feed matching from saved searches (Finn/NAV polling).
+- Native mobile wrappers; CalDAV/Google Calendar two-way sync.
+- Multi-instance/scale-out readiness (distributed cache/queue).
+
+---
+
+## Recommended execution sequence (Phase 4+)
+
+Interleaving product and engineering so debt never blocks features:
+
+1. **Wave 0 (hygiene):** Q3 → Q1 → Q2 → Q4 → Q5 (each a small conventional commit on a feature branch; Q1/Q2 are the two items with real operational risk today)
+2. **Wave 1 (flagship):** H1 match scoring (design doc → backend endpoint → UI panel → tests)
+3. **Wave 2 (core UX):** H2 canonical pipeline/kanban, then H3 analytics
+4. **Wave 3:** H4 Gmail suggestions, M1 bookmarklet, M2 PWA
+5. **Wave 4:** M3 interview hub, M4 contacts, M5 durable queue
+6. **Continuous:** L1 controller decomposition proceeds opportunistically — whenever a wave touches a god-controller area, extract that slice first (M6 rides along); L2–L5 scheduled after Wave 3 checkpoint.
+
+Phases 5–10 of the mission (bug hunt, security audit, performance, refactoring, testing, docs) run after or between waves as checkpoints; Phase 11 rules apply throughout (feature branches, conventional commits, full test suite before commit, no auto-merge to main).
+
+**Explicitly deprioritized:** auto-apply automation (quality/ToS problems), cloud AI providers (undermines privacy moat), Chrome-store extension before the bookmarklet proves demand.

+# SECURITY_REPORT.md — Session Change Review
+
+> Phase 6 deliverable. Scope: security review of the changes made in this work session
+> (Wave 0 + roadmap H1–H4), plus confirmation that the tenant-isolation model still holds.
+> Date: 2026-07-03. Complements the prior standalone assessments in
+> `docs/security-assessments/` (M013 adversarial, M014 remediation, M015 authorization replay).
+
+This is **not** a full re-audit of the whole application — those live in `docs/security-assessments/`.
+It is a focused review of the new/changed surface so nothing shipped this session introduces a regression.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+No new vulnerabilities were introduced. Tenant isolation on the new endpoints is carried by the
+existing `JobTrackerContext` global query filters and is now covered by regression tests. One latent
+correctness issue (a routable background-service method) was closed, and leaked runtime secrets were
+removed from version control (rotation recommended — see §6).
+
+| Severity | Count | Items |
+|---|---|---|
+| Critical | 0 | — |
+| High | 0 | — |
+| Medium | 1 (mitigated) | DataProtection keys present in git history (untracked this session; rotation recommended) |
+| Low / hardening | 3 | see §5 |
+
+---
+
+## 2. New/changed attack surface reviewed
+
+| Change | Surface | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /jobapplications/{id}/match-score` | route int id; reads own CV + job | Safe — tenant-scoped |
+| `GET /jobapplications/{id}/status-suggestion` | route int id; reads own correspondence | Safe — tenant-scoped |
+| `GET /jobapplications/pipeline` | none (static metadata) | Safe |
+| `PATCH .../status`, Create/Update (status normalization) | user string → `JobPipeline.Normalize` | Safe — no injection, values stored parameterized |
+| Structured salary fields | numeric + short strings, `NormalizeSalary` | Safe — clamps negatives, whitelists period |
+| Automated DB backup (`VACUUM INTO`) | server-controlled path | Safe — see §4 |
+| Dev OpenAPI (`/openapi/v1.json`) | schema | Safe — `Development` environment only |
+| `EmailStatusClassifier` | reads stored correspondence text | Safe — deterministic, no eval/injection |
+
+---
+
+## 3. OWASP-oriented checklist for the new code
+
+- **A01 Broken Access Control** — The two new data endpoints load the job via
+  `_db.JobApplications.FirstOrDefaultAsync(j => j.Id == id)`, which is filtered by the global
+  query filter `CurrentUserId != null && OwnerUserId == CurrentUserId` (deny-on-null, hardened in
+  M013-2). A cross-user id returns `NotFound`, not another tenant's data. The correspondence lookup
+  in `status-suggestion` and the `JobEvent` lookup in analytics are likewise filtered through their
+  parent's owner. **Verified by `JobApplicationsAuthorizationTests` (match-score + status-suggestion).**
+- **A03 Injection** — All new persistence goes through EF Core parameterized queries. The only raw
+  SQL added is `VACUUM INTO '<path>'` with a fully server-derived path (see §4). No string
+  concatenation of user input into queries.
+- **A03 ReDoS** — New regexes (`JobCvMatchService.TokenPattern`, the revised `SkillTagger` C#/.NET
+  patterns with fixed-width look-behinds) are linear with no catastrophic backtracking.
+- **A04 Insecure Design** — Status suggestions and match scoring are deterministic and
+  **human-confirmed** (a status only changes when the user clicks). No automated outbound actions.
+- **A05 Security Misconfiguration** — OpenAPI is exposed only under `IsDevelopment()`; production
+  deployments (`ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production`) do not serve it.
+- **A08 Data Integrity** — `JobPipeline.Normalize` canonicalizes status on write but preserves
+  unknown custom values (no silent data loss).
+- **A09 Logging** — No secrets or PII added to logs by the new code.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Database backup — path handling
+
+`SqliteDatabaseBackupRunner` runs `VACUUM INTO '<target>'`. The target is
+`<Data:Root>/backups/jobtracker_backup_<UTC-timestamp>.db` — no user input reaches it — and single
+quotes are escaped defensively. Backups contain the full database (sensitive) and are written to the
+same data volume as the live DB, i.e. the same trust boundary; they are git-ignored. For defense in
+depth, operators should ship backups off-host with transport encryption and restrict volume
+permissions. **Recommendation (low):** document an off-host, encrypted backup rotation in the
+deployment guide.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Low / hardening findings
+
+1. **match-score input size (low).** `GetMatchScore` does not cap job-description length before
+   tokenizing. Descriptions are bounded in practice (imported/typed), and the algorithm is linear, so
+   this is not a DoS, but a defensive cap (e.g. 50 KB) would be prudent.
+2. **New read endpoints are not rate-limited (low).** `match-score`/`status-suggestion` are cheap and
+   deterministic (no AI, one indexed query), and auth-gated in production, so abuse potential is low.
+   Consider a general authenticated-read limiter if the API is exposed publicly.
+3. **status-suggestion is conservative for custom statuses (informational).** A job in a non-canonical
+   custom status (pipeline order = max) never receives a suggestion. This is safe (fails closed) but
+   slightly under-surfaces; acceptable given custom statuses are rare.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Secrets hygiene (actioned this session)
+
+- Committed ASP.NET **DataProtection key XML files** (`keys/`, `JobTrackerApi/keys/`) and daily export
+  JSON were removed from tracking and added to `.gitignore`
+  (commit `security: untrack DataProtection keys and runtime exports…`).
+- **These key files remain in git history.** DataProtection keys sign auth/session artifacts, so
+  **rotating them on the production host is recommended** (generate fresh keys; the app regenerates the
+  key ring in the persisted `keys/` directory on next start). Until rotated, anyone with history access
+  could read the old key material.
+- Local `.env` remains git-ignored; `appsettings.Development.json` contains only `CHANGE_ME_*`
+  placeholders. No live secrets are tracked.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Confirmed intact from prior assessments
+
+Spot-checked that the M013–M015 remediations are still in force after this session's changes:
+
+- Owner query filters still deny on null `CurrentUserId` (`Data/JobTrackerContext.cs`).
+- Local JWT still requires a concrete subject claim (`LocalAuthIdentity`, `Program.cs`).
+- Job-import SSRF guard (DNS resolution + private-range rejection, redirects disabled) untouched.
+- CSRF double-submit middleware and CORS allowlist untouched.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Retest
+
+All backend tests pass (135), including the two new tenant-isolation tests for the new endpoints.
+No fix in this report required code changes beyond what already landed; the residual **action for the
+operator is DataProtection key rotation** (§6).

+# Jobbjakt (Job Tracker) — System Overview
+
+> Phase 1 deliverable: full-system map produced before any code changes.
+> Last updated: 2026-07-02. Verified against commit `eea327e1` plus local working-tree changes.
+
+---
+
+## 1. What the product is
+
+Jobbjakt is a self-hosted, multi-user job application tracking platform with heavy AI assistance:
+
+- Track job applications end-to-end (status pipeline, follow-ups, deadlines, salary, tags, notes).
+- Company/recruiter CRM (pipeline stage, contact dates, recruiter details).
+- Correspondence log per application, including **Gmail OAuth import with review workflow**.
+- Attachments per application with purpose metadata and AI-inclusion toggles.
+- **CV platform**: upload → OCR/text extraction → structured CV parsing (Ollama-assisted block classification) → per-job tailored CV drafts → templated PDF export via Playwright.
+- AI drafts: cover letters, recruiter messages, follow-up drafts, job description summaries, translation (LibreTranslate optional).
+- Rules engine (auto-ghosting, follow-up "needs attention"), reminder emails, daily JSON export, history/event trail, encrypted backup (Windows/DPAPI).
+- Admin surface: user management, audit log, system readiness page.
+- Deployed to production at `https://jobs.cesnimda.uk` via Gitea Actions → SSH → Docker Compose.

+
+### Solution layout (unusual — read this first)
+
+| Project | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `JobTrackerApi/` | Web **host** only: `Program.cs`, appsettings, migrations, Dockerfile. Its csproj **excludes** `Controllers/**` and `Services/**` from its own compilation. |
+| `JobTrackerBackend/` | "Transitional shared-backend" **library** that compiles, via `<Compile Include>` links, the files physically located in `../Data`, `../Models`, `../JobTrackerApi/Controllers`, `../JobTrackerApi/Services`. Exists so tests can reference controllers/services without the web-entry project. |
+| `JobTrackerApi.Tests/` | xUnit test project (~20 test classes incl. authorization/hostile-fixture tests). |
+| `Models/`, `Data/` (repo root) | The *real* EF models and `JobTrackerContext`, compiled into JobTrackerBackend. |
+| `Controller/` (repo root) | **Legacy stub controllers (~1 KB each) — dead code**, not referenced by any csproj. |
+| `job-tracker-ui/` | React SPA. |
+| `tools/summarizer/` | FastAPI AI service (own Dockerfile, pytest tests). |
+| `deploy/`, `.gitea/workflows/` | Prod deploy script + CI/CD pipeline. |
+| `docs/` | Session handoffs, security assessments (M013–M015), UAT notes. |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Technology stack
+
+**Backend**: ASP.NET Core net9.0, EF Core 9 (SQLite default; Pomelo MySQL/MariaDB switchable via `Database:Provider`), ASP.NET Identity Core (users/roles), JWT bearer auth (local + Google policy scheme), built-in RateLimiter, DataProtection (file-system keys), Playwright (CV PDF export).
+
+**Frontend**: React 19, TypeScript 4.9, MUI 7 (+ x-data-grid, x-date-pickers, lab), axios, react-router-dom 6, @tanstack/react-table, CRA `react-scripts` 5 (build needs `--max-old-space-size=4096`), i18n EN + NB (custom provider), Jest/RTL tests.
+
+**AI**: FastAPI + transformers (`sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6`) for summaries; pytesseract/PyMuPDF/pypdf/python-docx for extraction/OCR; Ollama (`qwen2.5:7b`) for CV block classification and rewrite paths; TTL cache.
+
+**Infra**: Docker Compose (4 services: backend, frontend/nginx, ai-service, ollama w/ GPU), Gitea Actions CI (build + backend tests + selected frontend tests + frontend build) → SSH deploy → `deploy/deploy.sh` on the prod host, external `jobtracker_shared` network.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Authentication & authorization
+
+- **Smart policy scheme**: inspects the bearer token issuer — Google-issued ID tokens (`accounts.google.com`) route to the `google` JWT handler (validated against `Auth:GoogleClientId`); everything else routes to `local` JWT (symmetric key `Auth:JwtKey`, issuer/audience validated, 2-min clock skew).
+- **Cookie session support**: local handler also reads the session cookie (`AuthSessionOptions.SessionCookieName`); **CSRF double-submit** middleware enforces cookie+header match for all mutating requests when a session cookie is present (login/register/reset/csrf endpoints exempt).
+- `Auth:Require=true` sets a fallback authorize-all policy (prod compose sets it). Dev without a JWT key generates an ephemeral key + warning; **fails closed** if auth required but no key.
+- Local tokens **must** carry a subject claim (`LocalAuthIdentity`), enforced in `OnTokenValidated` — hardened after finding M013-2.
+- **Multi-tenancy**: every tenant entity carries `OwnerUserId`; `JobTrackerContext` applies global query filters `CurrentUserId != null && OwnerUserId == CurrentUserId` (deny-on-null). Correspondence/JobEvents/CV entities filter through their parent's owner.
+- Roles via ASP.NET Identity: admin-only controllers (`UsersController`, `AdminAuditController`, `AdminSystemController`).
+- Password policy: min 8, digit + lowercase required. Password reset via emailed token (SMTP required). Registration disabled by default.
+- Rate limiting: `auth-login` (10/5 min/IP) and `auth-email` (5/15 min/IP) fixed-window policies.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Database schema (EF Core, 8 migrations)
+
+```mermaid
+erDiagram
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ Company : owns
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ JobApplication : owns
+    ApplicationUser ||--o| UserRuleSettings : has
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ GmailConnection : has
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ CvUploadArtifact : owns
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ CvExtractionRun : owns
+    Company ||--o{ JobApplication : "has jobs"

+    JobApplication ||--o| TailoredCvDraft : "1:1 draft"
+    CvUploadArtifact ||--o{ CvExtractionRun : "source of"
+    ApplicationUser ||--o{ GmailReviewDecision : decides
+```
+
+Key notes:
+
+- `ApplicationUser` (IdentityUser) also stores profile CV text, **structured CV JSON** (`ProfileCvStructureJson`), avatar data-URL, Google link info, current CV artifact/run pointers.
+- `JobApplication`: status string (default "Applied"), soft delete (`IsDeleted`/`DeletedAt`), tags as JSON string, imported description + translation, persisted `ShortSummary`, tailored CV text, reminder bookkeeping. Cascade deletes to messages/attachments/events/draft.
+- `RuleSettings` (global, seeded Id=1) + per-user `UserRuleSettings`.
+- `SystemEmailSettings`: DB-stored SMTP override (resolved by `EmailSettingsResolver`).
+- Indexes: `OwnerUserId` on Company/JobApplication/GmailConnection; composite `(OwnerUserId, UploadedAtUtc)`, `(OwnerUserId, StartedAtUtc)`, unique `(OwnerUserId, JobApplicationId)` on draft, unique `(OwnerUserId, GmailAddress)`.
+- SQLite file lives at `DataRoot/jobtracker.db` (WAL mode); migrations applied automatically at startup (`StartupInitializationExtensions`, 62 KB — also seeds admin, creates Identity tables where `dotnet ef` unavailable, ignores `PendingModelChangesWarning`).
+
+---
+
+## 6. API surface (all under `/api`, ~15 controllers)
+
+| Controller | Highlights |
+|---|---|
+| `JobApplicationsController` (**151 KB!**) | CRUD, paging/filtering/sorting, board, reminders, stats, history, unified timeline, status/follow-up PATCH, soft delete/restore, **plus** AI surface: application package material, follow-up drafts, cover-letter/recruiter drafts ("Maria" drafts), workflow signals. |
+| `ProfileCvController` (**117 KB**) | CV upload artifacts, extraction runs, structure parsing, rebuild/improve, tailored CV generation via Ollama rewrite, template rendering + Playwright PDF preview/export, benchmark corpus harness. |
+| `GmailController` (**60 KB**) | OAuth connect/callback, sync, message review queue, import decisions, job matching. |
+| `AuthController` (22 KB) | login/register/me/config, Google exchange, password reset request/reset, session cookie + CSRF endpoints. |
+| `CompaniesController` | CRUD, idempotent create by name, recruiter/pipeline fields. |
+| `CorrespondenceController` | per-job messages CRUD. |
+| `AttachmentsController` | multipart upload to disk, download, rename, delete, purpose/AI-inclusion metadata. |
+| `RulesController` | global + per-user rule settings, clamped. |
+| `ExportController` | JSON/CSV export. |
+| `BackupController` | DPAPI-encrypted backup (Windows only). |
+| `JobImportController` | URL preview via plugin parsers (SSRF-hardened). |
+| `UsersController`, `AdminAuditController`, `AdminSystemController` | admin: user/role management, audit trail, system readiness (DB/Gmail/AI). |
+| `ClientErrorsController` | frontend error intake → logs. |
+
+No OpenAPI/Swagger is wired up; the README is the de-facto API doc (already drifting).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Background services (6 hosted services)
+
+| Service | Function |
+|---|---|
+| `RulesHostedService` → `RulesEngine` | periodic auto-transitions (e.g., → Ghosted) from rule settings |
+| `FollowUpReminderHostedService` | reminder emails for due/upcoming follow-ups (dedup via `LastReminderEmailSentAt`) |
+| `DailyExportHostedService` | daily JSON export at configured local hour |
+| `JobEnrichmentHostedService` | backfills summaries/enrichment for jobs |
+| `SummarizerProbeHostedService` | probes AI service readiness |
+| `CvProcessingHostedService` + `CvProcessingQueue` | in-memory queue for CV extraction/processing jobs |
+
+All state is in-process (`IMemoryCache`, in-memory queue) — single-instance assumption; no distributed locks; queue contents lost on restart.
+
+---
+
+## 8. AI pipeline (data flow)
+
+1. **Job import**: URL → plugin parse (Finn/NAV/LinkedIn/Jobbnorge or universal JSON-LD parser) → optional LibreTranslate → language detect + skill tagging → preview → user accepts → stored on `JobApplication`.
+2. **Summaries**: API → `SummarizerService` (31 KB) → FastAPI `/summarize` (distilbart, TTL-cached, GPU-if-available) → persisted `ShortSummary`.
+3. **CV ingest**: upload (PDF/DOCX/image ≤ 8 MB) → FastAPI extract/OCR → block classification (Ollama-assisted, `CvAiClassifier`/`CvAiNormalizer`) → `ProfileCvStructureJson` on user.
+4. **Tailoring**: job description + structured CV sections → Ollama rewrite path (recent commits: clamped lengths, hardened diagnostics) → `TailoredCvDraft` (JSON blocks) → `CvTemplateRenderer` (25 KB, template carousel) → Playwright → PDF.
+5. **Drafts**: cover letter / recruiter message / follow-up drafts generated per job with attachment-aware context selection.
+
+Degradation: if AI service or Ollama is down, core tracking still works (probe service + "AI is not a deploy gate" in CI).

+
+## 9. Email
+
+- `SmtpEmailSender` with `EmailSettingsResolver`: config from env/appsettings **or** DB-stored `SystemEmailSettings` (admin-editable).
+- Uses Gmail SMTP + app password in prod. Flows: password reset, follow-up reminders. `App:PublicBaseUrl` builds links.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Configuration & secrets
+
+- `.env` (git-ignored) → docker-compose env → ASP.NET config. `.env.example` documents the shape. Real secrets currently present in local `.env` (JWT key, admin password, SMTP app password, Google client secret).
+- `appsettings.Development.json` contains only `CHANGE_ME_*` placeholders (good).
+- Key knobs: `Database:Provider`, `ConnectionStrings:JobTracker`, `Data:Root`, `Cors:Origins`, `Ai:BaseUrl`, `Auth:*`, `Email:*`, `Exports:*`, `Translation:*`, `App:PublicBaseUrl`, `HttpsRedirection:*` (TLS terminated at reverse proxy; HSTS/redirect off in-container).
+- `ProductionConfigTests.cs` exists to guard prod config shape.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Build, CI/CD, deployment
+
+- **CI** (`.gitea/workflows/ci-deploy.yml`): on PR + push-to-main → build backend (Release), run backend tests, `npm ci`, run an **explicit whitelist of 10 frontend test files** (not the whole suite), build frontend.
+- **Deploy** (push to main only): SSH to prod host → `git reset --hard <sha>` in `/opt/job-tracker/app` → `deploy/deploy.sh` (docker compose build/up with retry/cache-prune fallbacks) → verify containers; AI service health is non-blocking.
+- Frontend Dockerfile: node build stage → nginx 1.29-alpine (working-tree bump from 1.27 pending commit); nginx proxies `/api` to backend.
+- No staging environment; deploys go straight to prod after CI.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Testing strategy
+
+- **Backend**: xUnit integration-style tests via `TestHostFactory`; notable coverage: authorization (`JobApplicationsAuthorizationTests`, `OwnershipGuardTests`, hostile fixture DB project), auth/system, Gmail, CV corpus harness, summarizer, SQLite migration helper, production config.
+- **Frontend**: ~20 Jest/RTL test files (workspace flows, Gmail review, login, admin, attachments, drafts, trust-loop e2e-ish component tests). CI runs only the whitelisted subset.
+- **AI service**: pytest (`tools/summarizer/tests/test_app.py`).
+- No true end-to-end browser tests; no load/perf tests.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Logging & error handling
+
+- Console/debug logging; custom middleware logs every request (method, path, status, ms, traceId, sub claim). Unhandled exceptions logged then rethrown (500).
+- Client errors POSTed to `/api/client-errors` and logged server-side; React `ErrorBoundary` + route error page in UI.
+- No structured sink (Seq/OTLP), no log rotation policy in-app (container stdout), no correlation to frontend errorIds beyond log text, no ProblemDetails standardization.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security posture (current)
+
+Strong points (much already hardened via M013–M015 adversarial assessments in `docs/security-assessments/`):
+
+- SSRF on job import **fixed & retested** (DNS resolution check, private/loopback/link-local rejection, redirects disabled).
+- Subjectless-JWT / owner-filter bypass **fixed & retested** (fail-closed identity, deny-on-null query filters).
+- Cross-user job history leak fixed (`81196374`); authorization replay findings recorded (M015).
+- CSRF double-submit for cookie sessions; CORS allowlist; rate-limited login/email endpoints; ephemeral JWT key refused when auth required; Identity password hashing (PBKDF2); DataProtection keys persisted outside repo runtime path.
+
+Open questions / watch areas (to verify in Phase 6):
+
+- `AllowCredentials()` combined with configurable `Cors:Origins="*"` wildcard mode (SetIsOriginAllowed(true) + credentials) — dangerous if ever enabled.
+- Attachment upload: file-type/size limits, path handling, content-type on download need re-audit.
+- Avatar stored as data-URL on user record (size/XSS considerations).
+- Gmail OAuth token storage encryption at rest; scopes; audit of `GmailController` (60 KB).
+- Global rate limiting only on 2 auth policies — AI/expensive endpoints unthrottled.
+- Backup endpoint Windows-only DPAPI — silently unavailable on Linux prod.
+- Dependency freshness (axios, react-scripts 5/CRA is deprecated upstream; transformers/torch pinning).
+- Secrets present in local `.env` (expected, git-ignored) — confirm no history leaks.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Technical debt report
+
+1. **God controllers**: `JobApplicationsController` (151 KB), `ProfileCvController` (117 KB), `GmailController` (60 KB), `StartupInitializationExtensions` (62 KB). Massive single files mixing HTTP, business logic, AI prompt construction, and persistence. Highest-leverage refactor target — but high risk, needs test cover first.
+2. **Transitional project layout**: `JobTrackerBackend` compiles files it doesn't own via glob includes; root `Models/`/`Data/` folders; **dead** root `Controller/` folder; `JobTrackerBackend/bin`+`obj` artifacts and `JobTrackerApi/jobtracker.db` + `bin_build/`, `CvArtifacts/`, `exports/`, `keys/` polluting the repo/working tree. `.gitignore` needs review.
+3. **CI runs a hand-maintained subset** of frontend tests — new test files silently not run (already bit them once; `profile-page.test.tsx` had to be added manually).
+4. **CRA/react-scripts 5** is EOL-ish, slow builds (needs 4 GB heap), TS 4.9. Vite migration is the obvious path (medium effort).
+5. **Naming drift**: `Summarizer*` vs `AiService*`; "Jobbjakt" vs "Job Tracker" branding split; EN/NB translation consistency flagged in handoff doc.
+6. No OpenAPI; README endpoint list already drifts from code (e.g., Gmail/profile/admin endpoints missing there).
+7. In-memory queue/cache single-instance coupling undocumented.
+8. Root-level clutter: `temp_job.json`, `temp_post_job.py`, `todo jobtracker.txt`, `test/`, `tmp/`, `vendor/`, `.venv/`.
+9. `DaysSince` compares `DateTime.UtcNow` with `.Days` truncation — timezone/UX edge cases; status is a free string, no canonical pipeline enum (README itself lists this as a wanted improvement).
+10. Windows-only backup path.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Areas of concern
+
+- **Single point of data**: SQLite in a Docker volume; backups are manual/Windows-only; no automated off-host backup.
+- **Deploy risk**: `git reset --hard` + straight-to-prod with no staging and non-exhaustive CI test coverage.
+- **AI coupling**: prompt logic buried in controllers makes model/provider changes and testing hard.
+- **Restart data loss**: queued CV processing jobs are lost on restart (in-memory queue).
+- **Uncommitted working tree**: 3 modified files (Dockerfile nginx bump, `useViewResource` stale-closure fix, handoff doc) + untracked `scripts/start-ollama-cv.ps1` and a stray `JobTrackerApi/CvArtifacts/` data folder.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Opportunities for improvement (input to Phase 2/3)
+
+Product (initial hypotheses, to be validated by market research):
+
+- Canonical pipeline model + customizable Kanban stages (already on README wish list).
+- Interview scheduling/prep hub (calendar integration, prep notes, question banks).
+- Salary/offer comparison and analytics dashboards (funnel conversion, response rates, time-in-stage).
+- Browser extension / bookmarklet for one-click job capture (plugins already exist server-side).
+- Saved searches/views, full-text search, date-range and tag filters.
+- Notifications beyond email (web push, digest).
+- Contact-level recruiter CRM (people, not just companies).
+- Mobile-friendly PWA pass.
+
+Engineering:
+
+- Swagger/OpenAPI + generated TS client; ProblemDetails everywhere.
+- Split god controllers into feature services; move AI prompting behind interfaces.
+- Run full frontend test suite in CI (`npm test -- --watchAll=false` without whitelist) once flaky tests are addressed; add `dotnet format`/eslint gates.
+- Vite migration; dependency refresh.
+- Durable job queue (DB-backed) for CV processing; automated DB backup job.
+- Repo hygiene: delete dead `Controller/`, ignore build artifacts, remove committed DB files.
