The preview cross-fades each new render with motion, which animates in JavaScript and ignores the CSS reduced-motion rule. A render landing from the PDF worker while a sheet was open could leave a page half-faded, so its caption read at low contrast (and moved for users who asked for less motion).
Resumes no longer hold cover-letter sections. A migration saves every
letter a resume carried as a letter linked to that resume's details and
design, hands a resume's only letter to its only letter-less application,
then removes the sections from resumes and their layouts. rollback.sql
puts them back.
Every resume write on the server moves any letter it still carries into
a saved letter in the same transaction, so stale tabs, older files, API
clients and restored versions keep working without duplicating letters.
The resume editor no longer adds or imports letters, the resume download
drops its Cover letter tab, and resume PDF downloads (API, signed links,
MCP) no longer take a cover-letter target. copy_embedded_cover_letter and
POST /cover-letters/from-resume are removed.
The expand steps of the redesign kept older app versions and API clients
working. This removes those compatibility paths:
- Entry date text (period/date) is written from the structured dates on
every save; an edit to the text alone is overwritten.
- application.archived is dropped; archived rows close first. CSV import
still reads the flag from older exports.
- resume_version.label is dropped; versions are named by kind and name.
- rejected is no longer accepted as a stage; remaining rows and history
close first. CSV import still maps it to closed.
BREAKING CHANGE: older app versions and API clients that read or write
archived, version labels, the rejected stage or date text alone no
longer work. migrations/20260929063245_contract_redesign_legacy_fields
has a rollback.sql that restores the dropped columns.
The file-level check places each finding's evidence on its page: the
rule's own box, or the line holding its snippet. Check keeps the report
with the resume it ran on and, while the resume is unchanged, outlines
each finding on the page with a pin that opens the full report.
Two-column templates take a sidebarSide from the layout (left or right).
Without one, each template keeps its own side and right-to-left pages
mirror it. The PDF templates reverse only their columns, header band
and sidebar background, and the DOCX export follows the same choice.
Design's Sidebar panel offers Left and Right.
Opening an imported resume shows a note at the top of Write: the file,
the sections and entries found, and how many fields still need a look.
The counts follow the resume as flags are cleared, and the note stays
until it is dismissed.
On phones the formatting toolbar follows the visual viewport and sits on
the keyboard, 44px tall, with Improve and Done. Done closes the keyboard.
Larger screens keep the toolbar inside the field.
Work around more Forme 0.25 layout defects in the converter: row-reverse
laid out as row, min and max widths ignored along a row, text dropping
view children, empty text taking a line, overflowing optimal line
breaks, a text in a splitting row wrecking later pages, page breaks on
row items, four equal border sides, percentage corner radii, pictures
under their shadow, and imported table rows. Rotation is left out while
Forme misplaces rotated boxes; the stylesheet editor warns about it and
about percentage padding.
The page map rebuilds blocks Forme drops from its layout, the browser
renderer rejects documents whose fonts can't load so callers fall back
to the server PDF, and every render gets fresh font entries. Glalie's
sidebar is one band at the combined tint.
Tests are re-baselined where they encoded react-pdf metrics, and engine
limits (list marker keep-together, RTL line order, characters above
U+FFFF, percentage padding) are expected failures. The plan logs the
migration in section 13.
The web preview, downloads, template gallery, server export and public
PDF render through Forme. react-pdf, react-pdf-html, the react-pdf
hyphenation package, the Phosphor react-pdf icons and the four patches
are gone. Hyphenation now follows the page language for every language
Forme has patterns for.
Semantic CSS keeps its language; declarations Forme can't draw raise an
ENGINE_UNSUPPORTED warning in the editor. The page map rebuilds blocks
Forme leaves out of its layout when they break across pages, and a
render that misplaces a box is repeated with nested rows kept whole.
Tests move to a small shim with the react-pdf calls they were written
against; tests of react-pdf internals are dropped. Forme limits are
recorded as expected failures (RTL line order, characters above
U+FFFF).
Templates keep their react-pdf-style primitives. A small React renderer
records what they draw, and the result is converted to a Forme document:
styles, fonts (with ligatures disabled for text extraction), Phosphor
icons as SVG paths, pictures fitted by object-fit, and the page map from
source locations. Workarounds for Forme 0.25 layout defects live in the
converter: opaque translucent colours, border insets, row splitting,
column gaps across pages, absolute positioning and repeated backgrounds.
Consumers, the Semantic CSS adapter and the old react-pdf dependencies
follow in later commits.
Enter in the composer is ignored until the previous reply has finished, so the helper presses again until the message goes; the palette's focus return is polled rather than read once.
Adds @axe-core/playwright and audits the editor's modes, the assistant, both Share tabs, Documents, New, the letter editor, the command palette, Applications, Settings, the shared resume, the ATS checker and sign-in against WCAG 2.1 AA, in light and dark and at phone width. A keyboard spec checks that the Share sheet, the assistant, New and the command palette return focus to what opened them.
- The resume and letter canvases are focusable, labelled regions, so the page
scrolls from the keyboard even before its lines load.
- Closing the assistant returns focus to the ✦ button.
- The ✦ button shows on tablets and phones too, where the assistant opens as
a drawer or full screen.
- On tablets, Download PDF drops its label so the bar fits beside the mode
switch.
- The phone reflow darkens a template colour that's too faint to read on
white, and the checked download format's extension steps up to ink-2.
On coarse pointers, buttons, switches, checkboxes and tabs get an invisible hit area of at least 44x44 centred on them, without changing how they look. A checked switch row's description steps up to ink-2, since ink-3 falls short of 4.5:1 on the accent tint. Adds contrastOnWhite to the colour utilities.
Auth pages, dialogs, the command palette, the user menu, Applications, the rich-text toolbar, the stylesheet editor and the error screens use the Material Symbols set instead of Phosphor; the icon subset gains the 35 glyphs they need. Phosphor stays for brand logos, the landing page and the icons printed on resumes. Also removes the form field and test mock that only wrapped the old rich input.
Every class that used the old names (muted, primary, card, border, input and the rest) now uses the Desk & Paper token it resolved to, with text colours on their text tokens (accent-text, danger-text, ink-3). The compatibility block in the theme is gone.
Attachment, bubble, empty, marker, message, message scroller, questionnaire, resizable and sidebar had no users after the assistant moved into the editor, and neither did react-resizable-panels or @shadcn/react.
Idle is a drop zone with "Check a sample file" and an optional posting; busy
shows three labelled steps; the result is a 440px column with the score ring,
the categories that could cost a match (and the posting's missing terms), and
"Fix these in the editor", beside the file shown two ways: the original page
and the text as software reads it. Phones get one column with the fix pinned.
"Fix these in the editor" imports the same file, read in the browser as the
check was, and opens it in Check. Visitors sign up first; the file waits in
IndexedDB and is imported when they're back.
The public checker's AI review is dropped (Check -> Writing covers it), with
its locked card, the marketing parse preview and the old uploader. The PDF
viewer also renders a given file, for the original page.
Adds a phone visit that checks the reflow, tap-to-mail contacts and the pinned Download and Share, and an unknown link's message. The download preference spec expects the page's single Download button, and the root spec the new footer credit.
Desktop and tablets get a 64px bar with the owner's name, headline and city,
Copy link and Download PDF, the page on the sunken canvas, and the footer
credit. Phones get the resume as readable text in the template's colour and
body font, in the order the PDF prints it (read from the semantic tree), with
contact details as tap targets and Download and Share pinned.
The owner's rich text is parsed into an allowlist of formatting elements and
plain links, never injected. With downloads off, Download is hidden and
printing shows a note instead of the page. Off, unknown and trashed links all
read "This resume isn't shared right now." with nothing about the owner.
Old addresses redirect, the name saves on blur, Export everything downloads a zip, the theme applies at once, and a new key is shown once and revoked with Undo.
Six settings pages become Account, Preferences and AI & developer, with an
in-page nav beside a 680px column (tabs on tablets, a three-row root on
phones, which the Account tab opens).
- Account: photo upload, name, username with the instance host, and email,
each saving on blur; password, a two-step verification switch, passkeys and
connected sign-in; Export everything as one zip of documents and
applications; Delete account with the counts of what goes and typing
"delete"; Sign out.
- Preferences: Light, Dark and System tiles, the interface language and the
motion note.
- AI & developer: provider rows with Test ("Connected · 420 ms" or the exact
error) and an Edit dialog holding the switch and delete; Add provider with
all sixteen; API keys in a table with a New key dialog (30 days, 90 days,
Never), the key shown once, and Revoke with Undo; the MCP address with Copy.
The old settings addresses redirect, and links across the app, the command
palette and the user menu point at the new pages.
