Prepare v5.3.1 with dashboard search and thumbnail improvements, PDF layout fixes, cover-letter integrations, and self-hosting updates.
- Bump the root version and add release notes with contributor credits, cover-letter REST migration instructions, and the new GHCR image path.
- Align the dashboard authentication plugin with Better Auth's fetch dependency to restore auth-client type inference.
- Regenerate the OpenAPI specification so published validation limits match runtime schemas.
Validation: `pnpm lingui:extract` (no missing translations), `pnpm check`, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm test`.
pnpm reads audit overrides and patch mappings from pnpm-workspace.yaml, which
already carries both. The top-level package.json copies were npm-shaped fields
that pnpm never consults, and they had already drifted: the workspace file maps
'@react-pdf/textkit' unversioned while the package.json copy pinned 7.0.1.
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile still passes with pnpm-lock.yaml unchanged, and
all four patches remain applied at their recorded hashes, which is what shows
the removed block was inert.
Patch and minor bumps across the AI provider SDKs (@ai-sdk/*, ai),
@aws-sdk/client-s3, react-email/@react-email/ui, knip and jszip, with
pnpm-lock.yaml regenerated to match.
Also records the audit overrides and patched dependencies in the root
package.json alongside the existing pnpm-workspace.yaml entries.
Rewrites the landing page, in-app microcopy, and public docs, then fixes what the rewrite exposed: stale template counts, a broken quickstart anchor, out-of-sync FAQ structured data, dead error-hint branches in the MCP tools, and wrong-sense translations across all 53 locales. Adds GLOSSARY.md so translators get the right sense of the ambiguous UI terms.
* feat(ats): add ATS checker and replace resume analysis
Adds a public, browser-only ATS checker at /ats-checker and an ATS Check
section in the builder's right sidebar. PDFs are parsed locally: text
extraction, reading order, contact and date recovery, section detection,
and file-level readability are scored deterministically, with evidence
cited per finding and skipped checks reported rather than counted as
passes.
Removes the AI-scored resume analysis it supersedes: the resume_analysis
table (dropped via migration), the get_resume_analysis MCP tool, and
POST /ai/analyze-resume. The replacement, POST /ai/ats-review, reviews
extracted resume text and returns qualitative feedback with no score.
Also bumps the version to 5.2.9 and adds the changelog entry.
* chore(deps): bump workspace dependencies
* fix(ats-checker): keep negation inside each 'what this does not do' bullet
The three bullets were bare fragments whose negation came from the
section heading, which translators never see. A dozen locales rendered
them as affirmative assertions or imperatives, so the page claimed the
checker enforces a one-page rule and predicts rejection -- the opposite
of the source, and directly contradicted by the sentence beside it.
Each bullet now carries its own negation, so the polarity cannot be
lost in translation. Re-extracted and refilled across all 53 target
locales.
Upgrades to Better Auth 1.7, expands Custom Styles coverage of item headers, and adds a human-approval step to the AI agent's resume edits.
Breaking for self-hosters using a custom OAuth provider: the callback path changes from /api/auth/oauth2/callback/custom to /api/auth/callback/custom, and installs using OAUTH_DISCOVERY_URL need one additional UPDATE after upgrading. Both are documented in docs/self-hosting/sso.mdx.
- Better Auth 1.7, with the account issuer migration and the jwks alg/crv columns the 1.7 jwt plugin requires
- Agent edits gated behind an approval step, with crash-safe runs and context pruning
- item-header now covers every section header row on every template; adds the item-header-row part
- Fixes provider unlinking, auth error messages, and version conflicts on freshly created resumes
- New /auth/error page, translated across all 53 target locales
- DeepSeek Harness plugin moved into packages/dsh-plugin
- Dependency bumps across the workspace
Turbo defaults to ten concurrent tasks and each vitest sizes its pool to the
core count, so a ten-core machine ran roughly a hundred workers and a 1.6s test
blew its 15s budget. Different suites failed on every run. At concurrency four
the whole repo passed five runs straight with no wall-clock cost.
Add comprehensive Application Tracker REST and MCP coverage, document the MCP workflow, add Markdown/ActionLint checks, bump the release version, and fill all extracted translations.
* feat(applications): job application tracker with AI copilot
Add an Applications module at /dashboard/applications: pipeline board
(dnd-kit), table view with bulk actions, Insights (fit tiles, funnel,
sources, shareable funnel-flow SVG), campaigns, tags, CSV import, and
Add/Edit/Detail slide-overs. Each application links a live Reactive
Resume.
AI "Application Copilot" (applications.ai.*): job-posting autofill,
resume↔job match score (fit ring), resume tailoring, and cover-letter /
follow-up drafting — via the user's configured provider.
Board cards + table rows get context menus (edit / move / archive /
delete). Charts are CSS/SVG (no new chart dep); adds a UI Checkbox.
Also includes local TanStack devtools setup and toolchain bumps.

* feat(applications): close follow-up gaps + squash migrations
Finish the deferred/open items on the applications tracker:
- Cover-letter upload re-enabled. Fix the storage blocker by deriving the
key extension from content type (buildFileKey/EXTENSION_BY_CONTENT_TYPE)
instead of hardcoding .jpeg, so PDFs serve correctly and non-JPEG image
avatars keep working under FLAG_DISABLE_IMAGE_PROCESSING. Add
coverLetterUrl/coverLetterName columns + Documents-section upload/remove.
- Contacts editor in the detail sheet (add/edit/remove, keyed per app).
- Board caps rendered cards per column (COLUMN_PAGE_SIZE=50 + "Show more").
- Extract new Lingui messages across locales.
- Guard coverLetterUrl to http(s)/relative at the API boundary.
Squash the five branch-only application-table migrations (create -> +tags
-> +cover-letter -> drop -> re-add) into a single clean CREATE TABLE via
drizzle-kit generate.

* chore: update dependencies
* fix(web): address React Doctor findings — compiler, purity, query, component structure
prefer-module-scope-pure-function: hoist buildSubtitle, getDecimalPlaces,
handleLocaleChange, onLocaleChange, stop, listContent/groupedListContent to
module scope so they aren't rebuilt on every render.
react-compiler-todo (??=): rewrite draft.metadata.styleRules ??= [] to the
non-assignment form to unblock auto-memoization.
set-state-in-effect: derive updatedAtLabel at render time instead of syncing
it through useState + useEffect.
query-destructure-result: destructure useQuery results at call site in
resume-analysis and resume-thumbnail to follow TanStack Query v5 convention.
only-export-components: extract non-component exports to sibling .ts files so
Fast Refresh can preserve component state:
- getNextWeights → typography/get-next-weights.ts
- detectJsonImportType + ImportType → dialogs/resume/import.utils.ts
- getLocaleOptions → features/locale/locale-options.tsx
- preview helpers + DEFAULT_PDF_PAGE_SIZE → preview.shared.utils.ts
- resolveHighlightToolbarState + defaultHighlightColor → rich-input.utils.ts
- computeDelta + getSparklinePoints → statistics.utils.ts
no-multi-comp: split multi-component files into focused companions:
- ResumePane + ToolbarButton → routes/agent/-components/resume-pane.tsx
- DesktopBuilderShell → builder/$resumeId/-components/desktop-builder-shell.tsx
- MobileBuilderShell + helpers → builder/$resumeId/-components/mobile-builder-shell.tsx
- setBuilderLayout/getBuilderLayout moved to -store/sidebar.ts
fix(tests): add Resume type import to section-builder mocks and cast partial
mock data as unknown as Resume to satisfy stricter type checking; fix
noExplicitAny Biome errors in the same mocks.
* feat(applications): improve performance
* chore: fix knip issues
* perf(builder): halve per-keystroke render cost
Section-form fields called `form.handleSubmit()` on every keystroke, which
re-validated the whole form and toggled submit state — firing the render
cascade twice per character (~6809 renders/keystroke, FPS dropping to 9).
Persist via a form-level `listeners.onChange` instead and drop the per-field
`handleSubmit()` (basics, custom-fields, design). Narrow header/dock resume
subscriptions to metadata slices so they no longer re-render on content edits.
Cuts renders 6809 -> 3403 per keystroke (50%), 0 frame drops. Save, preview,
and design controls verified working; 449/449 web tests pass.
* perf(home): eliminate hero CLS from unreserved video box
The hero <section> is `flex items-center` (shrink-to-fit), so the video
wrapper's width depended on the video's intrinsic size, which only resolves
after the media loads. aspect-ratio couldn't reserve height without a definite
width, so the video grew from ~190px to ~563px after first paint and shoved the
centered hero text down ~373px (CLS ~0.095).
Give the wrapper a definite width (w-full + mx-auto on the CometCard) and set an
explicit aspect ratio + width/height on the video so its box is reserved before
load. CLS 0.095 -> 0; hero stays visually centered at max-w-4xl.
* docs: add application tracker guides
* chore(db): squash application migrations
* fix(email): import React in auth template for server-side rendering compatibility
* chore(release): v5.2.1
* Refactor resume rendering and builder workflows
* fix: address application tracker review findings
