career-ops v1.40.0: No Silent Drops

on GitHub

This release is about saying what career-ops did not read or did not keep. A board it read only in part is logged partial instead of reachable, a template tag the PDF renderer drops gets a warning, and a CV bullet whose verb drifted from the bullet you wrote is blocked.

Highlights

• A board read in part says so. A board that career-ops could read only in part is now logged partial, not reachable (#6636), and boards that failed on a temporary error get one more try after the sweep (#6675), both by @kellymmcgrath. Before the headed-browser retry, the liveness check reads the site's robots.txt first (#6551 by @benbalter).
• Your CV, held to your own facts. A generated bullet whose verb drifted from its source bullet is blocked (#6630 by @kellymmcgrath), structured facts are bound to the records they came from (#6016 by @luochen211), and a build with an unresolved {{token}} fails instead of printing it (#6408 by @sogav21). cv-templates.mjs lint cv <name> --render warns about what the renderer drops in silence, such as scripts and remote fonts (#5943 by @rubicon).
• Bring your tracker with you. import-tracker.mjs imports the CSV export of another tracker (#6170), and the scan keeps a posting's close date and shows it in the pipeline (#6597), both by @mbrow190.
• One ask at a time. career-ops asks for a GitHub star once, after your first report, and for the manifesto later, never in the same run. The asks that were spread across scan, doctor and update now live in one place (#6700).
• Twelve more places to look. HiBob, HireHive and ALDI Nord (#6502, #6503, #6529 by @ilyakanevskiy), every Workable tenant through Workable's public XML feed (#6793 by @ilyakanevskiy), Polymer and Trakstar Hire (#6128, #6131 by @mbrow190), Tes (#6731 by @AdilAzhariOmsan), TurboHire (#6712 by @okeken), any employer's job sitemap (#6631 by @kellymmcgrath), Remote's own ATS (#6392 by @artemtrofymenko), ADP Recruiting Management (#6678 by @dgitman) and SEEK NZ (#6488 by @prateek942).

Updating

Run node update-system.mjs apply --confirm in your career-ops folder. If you said no to the update prompt earlier, this is the same command.
