## Breaking changes & upgrade actions
- **Stop v5 before upgrading the database.** Ten migrations introduce document Trash, richer version history, application outcomes, structured letters, document-bound conversations and web-access credentials, then remove `application.archived`, `resume_version.label` and the retired Firecrawl credential table. Back up the database and uploads, stop every v5 instance, and deploy v6 together. A mixed v5/v6 rolling upgrade is unsupported. Follow [Upgrading to v6](/self-hosting/upgrading-to-v6), including its rollback procedure. [cbc76b03b](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/cbc76b03b)
- **Configure trusted reverse proxies.** Self-hosted instances behind nginx, Caddy or Traefik must set `TRUSTED_PROXIES` to the immediate proxy and trusted intermediate proxy IPs or CIDRs so authentication limits distinguish visitors. Direct connections need no setting; never include public client networks. See [Environment variables](/self-hosting/upgrading-to-v6#environment-variables). [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Stop v5 before upgrading the database.** One consolidated v6 migration introduces document Trash, richer version history, application outcomes, structured letters, document-bound conversations and web-access credentials, then removes `application.archived`, `resume_version.label` and superseded development tables. The release migration replaces the intermediate v6 migrations; installations running an earlier v6 development build need separate migration review. Back up the database and uploads, stop every v5 instance, and deploy v6 together. A mixed v5/v6 rolling upgrade is unsupported. Follow [Upgrading to v6](/self-hosting/upgrading-to-v6), including its rollback procedure. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Cover letters become independent documents.** The migration saves every embedded letter, including hidden letters, as a separate letter linked to its resume's sender details and design, then removes the letter sections from the resume. Open migrated letters in **Documents**. Older imports, stale tabs, API writes and restored versions also move embedded letters into documents without creating duplicates for unchanged content. [250650953](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/250650953)
- **Convert old visual style rules manually.** PDFs now use Semantic CSS exclusively. Stored rules from the old visual style editor need the bundled `apps/server/dist/migrate-legacy-styles.mjs` script; startup does not convert them. Run its dry run first, then `--apply --backup <file>` on persistent storage. Unconverted documents use their template defaults. See [the conversion steps](/self-hosting/upgrading-to-v6#convert-styles-from-the-old-style-editor). Old JSON files imported through the browser are converted during import.

- **Write structured dates in API clients.** Dated entries use `dates`, with `start`, `end`, `present` and preserved `raw` text. Saves regenerate `period` or `date` from that structure, so editing the display text alone is overwritten. Update clients to write `dates` and set `metadata.page.dateFormat` where needed. Inputs without structured dates still derive them from their text.

## Documents, imports & recovery
- **Recover from an empty resume-copy dialog.** Opening **Copy a resume for a job** without an existing resume previously showed an empty source list and a disabled **Create and open** button. The dialog now explains the prerequisite and offers **Import or create a resume**, including when opened directly from an application. Returning to the copy flow keeps that application selected.
- **Keep linked letter details in account backups.** Account exports now resolve each letter’s linked sender and design values, preserving what the letter currently uses instead of stale stored copies. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)

## Assistant & AI providers
- **Enable shared AI and web access for all users.** Self-hosters can set `AI_PROVIDER`, `AI_MODEL`, `AI_API_KEY` and an optional `AI_BASE_URL`, plus `WEB_ACCESS_PROVIDER`, `WEB_ACCESS_API_KEY` and an optional Firecrawl `WEB_ACCESS_API_URL`. Each globally configured integration takes precedence over personal credentials and hides their settings controls; saved personal keys remain available after shared configuration is removed. Shared credentials stay on the server and need no `ENCRYPTION_SECRET`; encrypted personal AI and web-access keys remain supported when it is set. See [Job search and AI](/self-hosting/job-search-and-ai).
- **Choose models from provider-specific suggestions.** AI setup and settings load an optional public models.dev catalog, filter out deprecated or non-text models, and preserve exact gateway model IDs. You can still enter a model manually when suggestions are unavailable. Provider and web-access rows expose connection status and separate test actions. [5d540f75d](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/5d540f75d), [8105889b0](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/8105889b0)
- **Search and read public pages from the assistant.** One optional Firecrawl, Tavily or Exa connection serves both Applications and assistant tools. Without an external connection, supported direct AI providers can use native assistant search; the built-in posting reader remains available without credentials. Connection tests check search and reading separately. [3e7849e51](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/3e7849e51)
- **Respect context opt-outs throughout a conversation.** Disabling document or posting context now starts fresh provider context for the next message, excluding earlier document-derived prose and tool results. Old tool approvals cannot continue after that change. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Target role descriptions and repeated passages safely.** Proposals can address individual roles within an experience entry. A rewrite applies only when its original passage appears exactly once; suggestions for empty fields cannot overwrite newly entered content.

- **Prepare for the application's next step.** Application actions open the relevant document and assistant with the selected job as context.

- **Attach files to the first message reliably.** Starting a conversation now retains attachment uploads and context choices, prevents sending during upload and carries attachments into the first message. The per-message limit counts only unsent attachments; older sent files no longer block a new message. Superseded letter-read snapshots are pruned.

## Applications & interviews
- **Search and import job postings with Firecrawl.** **Applications → Add an application** supports keyword search through optional Firecrawl Cloud or a self-hosted service. Review up to five results, choose **Use posting**, then import and check the extracted details before saving. Firecrawl also reads pasted posting URLs, while the configured AI provider extracts application fields. Without Firecrawl, or when scraping fails, the built-in URL reader remains available.
- **Keep application notes when closing the sheet.** Notes autosave after typing and flush when the detail sheet closes. Failed saves retain the draft within the session and offer **Retry save**. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Prepare resumes without setting up AI.** Choose an existing resume, make a copy, or import or create one for the saved job. Manual preparation opens the editor directly; the assistant opens only when a usable AI connection exists. [3e7849e51](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/3e7849e51)
- **Find jobs with one optional web connection.** Applications supports keyword search through Firecrawl, Tavily or Exa. Review results, choose a posting and check its imported details before saving.

- **Start from a job link or posting.** Add application reads a job page's own structured data without AI; extracting a pasted posting uses a connected provider. Review the detected role, company and requirements, then add the application or add it and tailor a resume. Editing the source text invalidates its previous reading.

- **Save a job before preparing an application.** **Save job** defaults to Saved and accepts a link, pasted posting or manually entered role and company without AI. **Read posting** runs only when requested; review the saved description and optional AI-extracted fields, or replace incomplete text with a pasted description while retaining the original link. Reading failures preserve the draft. **Save and prepare resume** opens resume preparation without marking the job applied. [3e7849e51](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/3e7849e51)
- **Use one detail sheet for the job and next step.** The sheet brings together stage progression, time in stage, interview and follow-up actions, posting requirements, linked documents, attachments, contacts, tags, salary, source, notes and activity. It becomes full-screen on phones. [462db6011](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/462db6011), [ce0b4c606](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/ce0b4c606)
- **Remember what you sent.** Applications retain sent resume and letter versions and the check score. Moving into an applied or later stage captures the linked document state; copied resumes for already-sent applications now route through the same snapshot behavior.

- **Confirm what you actually submitted.** Preparing documents or opening the original job link leaves the job Saved. **Mark as applied**, **Already applied** and **Already interviewing** ask for the submission date and the resume, letter or attached files actually sent. The selected document versions and check score become the submission record; later letter relinking cannot replace a recorded sent version. History labels the resume version **Sent to** the company.

## PDF, Word & Markdown rendering
- **Preserve Unicode text and native ligatures in PDFs.** The patched Forme 0.26 engine preserves Arabic and Hindi text, vocalized Hebrew, Japanese, Latin ligatures and emoji across fallback fonts. Native ligatures remain enabled, and right-to-left list markers no longer need reversed punctuation. Browser and server rendering use the same patched engine; unsupported glyphs still require a suitable font. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)

- **Render every PDF through Forme.** Editor previews, browser downloads, thumbnails, template previews, public PDFs, server exports and deep checks share the new engine. The browser uses a PDF worker with a main-thread fallback, keeping rendering off the typing path when workers are available. Downloads use the same rendering path as previews.

- **Keep authored content through pagination.** Forme could misplace splitting rows or lose entire sections when a column overflowed. Rendering retries problematic layouts and explicitly starts missing sections on a new page, preserving manually authored continuation pages. Free-form pages measure their content before choosing their final height.

- **Keep list markers with their first line.** A list item could begin on the next page while leaving its bullet or number behind. The renderer detects orphaned markers and rerenders with a break before the affected item. [3405200cf](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/3405200cf)
- **Restore Azurill's timeline across page breaks.** Forme did not stretch the absolutely positioned line as the old renderer did, and a splitting column stretched the dot into a pill. A border-backed timeline and a wrapper around the dot preserve the line and circular marker.

- **Preserve template details under the new engine.** Adapter fixes handle reversed rows, row width constraints, column gaps, transparent colors, absolute elements, image fit and shadows, borders, corner radii, imported tables and empty text.

- **Preserve useful Word links and exclude executable markup text.** Phone links previously lost their `tel:` destination, while script and style contents could enter exported text. Word export now keeps phone links and removes those elements. [461d3c4e6](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/461d3c4e6)
- **Keep Markdown's structure and experience text.** Exports now preserve nested and numbered lists, underline and strikethrough, and parent experience descriptions when roles are present. Empty roles no longer create headings; repeated parent positions are also removed from PDF, Word and the public reading view. JSON and Markdown generation failures now show retryable error messages.

## Security & API correctness
- **Validate remote images before server PDF rendering.** Server image loading checks public destinations, pins validated addresses, revalidates redirects, and bounds request time and image size. This prevents remote image URLs from reaching private services. [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Keep trashed and hidden content out of public sharing.** Trashed resumes are unavailable through public lookups, and hidden content is excluded from shared data. Script or style uploads are served as downloads rather than executable inline content.

- **Store assistant attachments privately on local storage.** Local installations can now write private files under the assistant-only namespace with restrictive permissions. Public upload routes exclude that namespace; names are generated IDs rather than user filenames. [9a803305c](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/9a803305c)
- **Base rate limits on the server's client address.** Authentication, MCP and public resume rate limits no longer trust arbitrary forwarded-IP headers supplied by a client. The server adapter provides the address, and auth receives a sanitized header set. `FLAG_DISABLE_API_RATE_LIMIT` now consistently covers API limits as well as authentication.

## Self-hosting, performance & maintenance
- **Set up job search and AI alongside your instance.** A new [Job search and AI guide](/self-hosting/job-search-and-ai) links official Firecrawl, SearXNG and OpenAI setup instructions, explains shared services and personal keys, and includes container-network and local verification examples. SearXNG supplies JSON search results to self-hosted Firecrawl; Reactive Resume connects separately to Firecrawl and its AI provider. Docker, environment-variable and AI guides link to the setup.
- **Use one release migration and rollback script.** Intermediate v6 migrations are consolidated into `20261001042749_v6_release`. It performs v5 data conversions before removing legacy columns; its rollback restores v5-compatible letter sections and application/history fields in one transaction. See [Upgrading to v6](/self-hosting/upgrading-to-v6). [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Run consistent workspace checks with Oxc.** Standalone Oxlint and Oxfmt replace the previous lint/format configuration. CI checks package boundaries and affected-package types, persists Turbo artifacts, and runs unit suites with one concurrent task. Dependency and translation updates are grouped with these maintenance changes.

## Known issues & release status
- **Known issues — PDF text shaping.** Forme currently lays out right-to-left lines left-to-right and then right-aligns them; characters above `U+FFFF`, including most emoji, do not draw. A fallback-font glyph can also introduce an extra space in extracted text. These limits remain unresolved; inspect exported documents that depend on them. See [engine limits](/applying-custom-styles#engine-limits). [722f5fa14](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/722f5fa14)
- **Known issues — mixed-direction PDF text.** The patched engine fixes the previously listed Unicode extraction, emoji and fallback-spacing regressions. Paragraph direction still needs to match the intended text: PDF readers may reorder predominantly right-to-left text in a left-to-right paragraph differently. Inspect mixed-script exports and choose the correct page language and direction. See [the patched engine notes](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/blob/bc92b8cf7/vendor/forme/README.md). [bc92b8cf7](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/bc92b8cf7)
- **Known issues — PDF style limits.** Rotation, percentage spacing, `z-index`, `max-lines`, `text-indent`, `vertical-align`, `object-position` and presence hints are unsupported; dashed and dotted borders render solid. Photo rotation is disabled. Custom Styles applies to PDFs, not Word or Markdown. [Engine limits](/applying-custom-styles#engine-limits) lists supported alternatives. [394e59e1a](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/394e59e1a), [9a803305c](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/9a803305c)
- **Deliberate omissions — letters and phone views.** Letters have no public sharing link or document-wide undo stack; use typing undo, proposal Undo or History. Board and Calendar use List on phones. Whole-account ZIPs are exports of records; reimport individual document JSON files after extraction. [82fa32790](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/82fa32790), [462db6011](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/462db6011), [9a803305c](https://github.com/reactive-resume/reactive-resume/commit/9a803305c)
- **Deliberate omissions — changelog granularity.** Repeated catalog extraction, dependency-only bumps, plan checkpoints, private-type cleanup and behavior-preserving refactors are grouped above. Superseded implementations, including automatic startup style conversion, are described by their final behavior. Every commit remains available in the full comparison.
- **Deferred items — release and deployment verification.** This entry records source changes through the audited commit. Creating the v6 tag, publishing artifacts, applying production migrations, converting stored styles where required and checking the live deployment remain outside this changelog task. No release-wide runtime verification is claimed here.
