A3-IM06 — Career Profile and document workflows

3 November2026. Owner explicitly answered "Approve discovery and A3-IM06". Isolated codex/a3-ui-06 starts at published/independently verified discovery receipt027907a80666f7ddd51c848411ceaacec6768f20. No older design/source tree merged. Root security policy and independent document-date fix remain separate.

Scope and work packages

• Inspect current CareerProfilePage/overview/section owners, CV library/editor/preview and letter presentation. Existing editor already places edit left/preview right and owns queues, conflicts, undo and export; retain these behaviors.
• Establish selected Career/import/library/studio/letter baseline; no full-suite/PDF rerun merely for restart.
• Career overview: useful section indicators and immediate section edit/focus actions, using existing canonical profile/draft state. Preserve unknown/loading/error states and source-backed overall completeness; do not count skipped setup as complete.
• Audit every canonical section against actual editable controls. Initial source shows projects/certifications in StructuredCvProfile but no corresponding CareerProfileSections controls; investigate and close supported UI gaps through the existing revision writer, preserving stable IDs/metadata, or record a precise limitation.
• Align studio responsive presentation with approved1000px split contract and existing mobile edit/preview mode; keep focus, controls, template/gallery/history/import review, library actions and letter workflow connected. Refine quiet chrome where needed, not physical document CSS.
• Qualify existing import/source/proposed/selected/conflict/retention and letter history/revision behavior. No import-engine overhaul, new schema/API/dependency, provider/model activation or changed renderer metrics.
• Fix affected bounded EN/NB display issues without rewriting working terminology. Fixed decimal attachment-size display remains a known candidate, not yet fixed.
• Targeted frontend/backend/types/lint/build plus actual React controlled Career/CV/letter journeys, responsive/theme/locale/accessibility checks and independent review. Reuse unchanged accepted physical PDF metrics/visuals; distinguish controlled previews from physical exports.
• Commit/publish/remote verify each coherent package; only request next Gate F after this increment is complete and reviewable. A3-IM07 Calendar/reminders/correspondence/documents still needs that gate.

Affected callers: CareerProfilePage and CareerWorkspaceOverview/section editors; existing CV library/editor/template/preview and ApplicationCoverLetterSection/Document chrome; their tests and EN/NB catalogue. Canonical state, API writers, revisions and renderers stay in existing owners. Rollback presentation/controls commits on this branch; no database/data rollback. Changes must not silently replace source facts or reset null-as-inherit overrides.

Source comparison identified current studio compact boundary899.95px while the approved A3 handoff uses1000px. Verify field/preview geometry and focus at the boundary before changing it. The overall milestone remains IN PROGRESS; baseline/reused evidence alone cannot accept it.

Local qualification:212 unique frontend cases/10 suites,103 backend cases,types/full lint/build,16 controlled browser journeys/96 axe scans plus six boundary journeys/36 scans (four configurations overlap;108 unique captures), independent review57 overlapping cases. Exact evidence and limitations:CAREER_VALIDATION.md. Physical renderer and backend sources unchanged. Gate F before IM07 remains pending.
