The document menu's Information item opened a donation appeal and a row of
project links, which isn't what anyone expects from a resume's menu. It's now
Details: when the resume was created and last edited, its template, language
and page count, and whether it's private or shared (with its link). The
resume API returns `createdAt` for this.
The donation ask moves to the moment someone has what they came for: after a
successful download in Share & export (resumes and cover letters), one quiet
line wishes them luck and links to Open Collective. The old dialog's links
(docs, source, translations, bug reports, donate) live in the Settings
sidebar footer.
"Everything you've done, on one page." A single resume page is assembled,
written, restyled, checked, tailored and shared as the visitor scrolls,
followed by live community numbers, languages, a support receipt, a
closing call to action and the footer. It replaces the previous homepage
and its playgrounds.
Motion: a small scroll engine (features/homepage/scroll.ts) writes each
section's progress as --p on every animation frame, and the scenes derive
their motion from it with CSS calc(). React only re-renders on coarse
steps held in a zustand store. Reduced motion collapses every pinned
scene to one screen at its end state and stops all ambient motion.
Server-rendered copy: the web build now prerenders the homepage once per
locale (Vite app builder, features/homepage/prerender.tsx) into
apps/web/dist-prerender, which the server sends for "/" by `?locale=`,
then the saved locale cookie. main.tsx waits for the route to load before
React replaces the prerendered page, so it never flashes a loading screen.
dist-prerender is added to turbo outputs, the Docker image and the Vercel
function files.
SEO: localized title and description, a canonical per locale, hreflang
alternates for every locale over `/?locale=` addresses (the app now reads
that parameter), and SoftwareApplication JSON-LD. The FAQ structured data
is dropped because the page shows no FAQ.
Also: self-hosted Anybody and Martian Mono (landing only) and Newsreader
italic, graphite doodles as WebP, new Material Symbols in the icon subset,
the pull-cord theme switch on the app's theme cookie, and new catalog
strings extracted for translation.
`outline-none` on the item beat the base-layer `:focus-visible` ring and
nothing replaced it, so keyboard focus was invisible. Dropping it lets the
design system's 2px accent ring show again.
The cover-letter and MCP OAuth flow suites were gated on environment variables
CI never set, so they never ran. Point them at the job's PostgreSQL. The
cover-letter suite works in its own schema; the OAuth suite gets a database of
its own because it writes signing keys under its own secret, which the e2e
server can't decrypt.
Nothing reads the unit step's coverage report, so test:ci no longer collects it.
Prune the unit and e2e suites to what protects security, user data, public
contracts and past regressions. Drop what slowed development without catching
bugs: markup and label assertions, wrappers that only proved Base UI works,
copied inventories and snapshots, mock call-shape checks, permutation matrices
across templates, fonts and locales, and env-gated suites that never ran in CI.
- Unit: 4749 tests in 421 files become 1212 in 227. PDF tests that rendered or
rasterized every template, font and locale combination go; one render per
template stays and now checks that every visible section reaches a page,
which a blank page used to pass.
- E2E: 55 tests in 35 specs become 11 in 9, one journey per severe area: sign-up
and sign-in, autosave, a failed save during navigation, JSON export and import,
public and password-protected sharing, slug redirects, OAuth consent for MCP
clients, and the assistant.
- Tests a coverage review found to be the only guard of a contract were kept or
restored, each checked by breaking the code it guards.
- Remove exports, tooling and dev dependencies that only the pruned tests used.
- The Semantic CSS guide check now reads indented code fences, so the guide
example it skipped is compiled too.
SNAPSHOT_TOOL_NAMES lacked read_letter, and the snapshot check looked for the resume key on every result other than read_resume's, so each cover letter read stayed in the model context. The superseded note now names both read tools.
attachments.create counted every file in the thread against MAX_ATTACHMENTS_PER_MESSAGE, so a conversation could never hold more than 10 files. Files already sent with a message still count toward the thread's byte quota.
page.locale accepts any string. A malformed tag such as "de-DE-" made toLocaleUpperCase throw a RangeError, so parseResumeData failed and the resume could not load. The language code always comes from the parser's word list, so it is a valid tag.
toSafeDocxLink accepted only http, https and mailto, so phone links in custom fields and rich text lost their link. The rich-text converter printed the text of script and style elements through its inline fallback; it now removes those elements after parsing.
Summaries, highlights, courses, and award, publication and reference texts went into the HTML as written, so text such as "C<T>" was lost. They now go through the same escapeHtml helper as the LinkedIn and plain-text importers.
A substring test gave the X logo to any network whose name contains an "x", such as Xing, Dropbox, Stack Exchange, Mixcloud and Fox, for example on JSON Resume import.
Moving a resume to Trash is meant to stop its public link, but the public
PDF, the download counter and the social card still looked resumes up by
username and slug alone, so a trashed public resume kept serving its PDF,
counting downloads and rendering a card. They now skip trashed resumes,
like getBySlug and verifyPassword already did.
The public getBySlug response also carried everything the author had
hidden (sections, entries, the summary and the picture URL), although the
builder says hidden sections aren't printed or shared. redactResumeForViewer
now strips them for anyone but the owner; the rendered resume is unchanged.
The server-rendered social card read the raw row, so it could show the
hidden summary and the owner's private dashboard title; it now builds from
the same redacted data an anonymous visitor gets.
These controls set outline-none, which overrides the global :focus-visible
accent ring, so keyboard users saw no focus indicator. Toast buttons also
set focus-visible:outline-accent, which only changes the colour and left
the outline style at none. The radio now transitions only border-color so
the ring doesn't fade in from the text colour.
Remove the revert and unset keywords, vw/vh units, the |= and $= attribute
matchers, :nth-child(... of ...), the stylesheet analyzer and the
engine-unsupported warnings. inherit and initial remain the CSS-wide keywords.
Turns off the React Compiler "todo" rule (it lints before the Lingui macro runs, so it flags code that compiles) and only-export-components, ignores test fixtures for dialog/label rules, and turns off two rules that don't apply to the single-pass PDF renderer.
The conversion of stored legacy style rules to Semantic CSS no longer runs
when the server starts. The image now ships
apps/server/dist/migrate-legacy-styles.mjs, run by hand against
DATABASE_URL:
- without flags it's a dry run that converts in memory and reports counts
- --apply --backup <file> converts, appending every replaced stylesheet to
the backup file before its row is written
- --restore <file> puts those stylesheets back, except on rows edited since
Each table is scanned once for the rows that need converting, then they're
converted in batches with progress logged. Only metadata.stylesheet is
rewritten, a row whose stylesheet changed after it was read is left alone,
and running it again skips what's converted. The data_migration table that
recorded the startup run is gone. The self-hosting guide explains the
one-time run.
With a section icon the heading renders as a row holding the icon and a
separate title text, and that text only took the heading's color from
Custom Styles. Font size, weight, style, letter spacing, line height,
alignment, decoration and text transform written for section-heading now
reach the title too, as they do without an icon.
Stored resumes, resume versions, letters and letter versions still in
the old editor's legacy mode, or carrying legacy style rules with no
stylesheet, are converted to Semantic CSS once, right after the SQL
migrations, and the result is recorded in a new data_migration table so
later starts skip it. Only metadata.stylesheet is rewritten (the rules
stay for rollback), a row edited meanwhile is retried on the next start,
and a failure leaves the data as it was without stopping the server.
The API no longer converts on every read and save. Imports of old
Reactive Resume JSON exports convert their legacy rules on the way in.
Now that the API hands out every resume with its legacy style rules
converted, the renderer runs one styling system: the stylesheet mode,
the per-slot legacy rule hooks in the template primitives and the
section style provider are gone, and the Custom Styles editor loses its
legacy draft banner and Activate step. The converter stays (the API
uses it), with its fixtures now checked by rendering the converted
stylesheets.
Resumes from before Semantic CSS carry legacy style rules that only the
old renderer understood. The API now converts them (with the existing,
parity-tested converter) whenever resume data is read or written, so
everything it hands out uses a Semantic CSS stylesheet and the database
catches up on the next save. The rules stay stored for rollback, and a
draft typed in the old editor but never activated is kept, commented
out, after the conversion. New resumes start with an empty stylesheet.
Custom styles no longer need @version 1; at the top: the language
version already lives beside the text, so new and converted stylesheets
leave it out, the editor hides it in older ones, and the compiler
ignores it. The validity status and inline diagnostics are gone too:
whatever applies shows in the preview and anything else is left out.
The drawer took a mouse press anywhere outside Drawer.Content as the
start of a swipe and captured the pointer, so switches and buttons in a
bottom sheet never received the click. The sheet's children now sit in
Drawer.Content; touch swipes still dismiss from anywhere.
The phone entry screen pushes in from the end edge and slides back out on
Back, reversing mid-push. The Design sheet keeps its full height and moves
by translate instead of animating height, and rises from the tab bar when
Design opens. The selection bar rises and fades in.
Sheet is now backed by Base UI Drawer: bottom sheets follow a downward
swipe, dismiss on a flick or a drag past half their height, and settle back
otherwise. Side and top sheets are unchanged.
On phones, Settings rows push the section in from the end and the back link
returns the list from the start, layered on the page view transition.
Views that replace each other (new-document steps, auth post-submit
screens, ATS checker states, consent, social sign-in, new API key) now
fade up 4px as they arrive. The ATS lenses both stay mounted so switching
back never re-reads the PDF, and the 1024-1279 assistant swap crossfades
in the panel's cell (instant on Cmd+J).
Things that used to push layout no longer move what the user is reading:
the bulk-selection bar floats at the bottom of the list, the rich text
toolbar sits under the text, and the letter draft bar takes the Stop
button's place under the draft. The drop-to-import frame, follow-up
nudge, job-match panel, public-link options, and rare save states fade in.
Adds a Swap primitive so copy buttons crossfade Copy -> Copied at a fixed
width, and POP_CLASS for status icons (progress checks, tool status,
proposal Applied, the public download icon).
Menus, popovers and combobox lists now slide in from their trigger on
whichever side they open (data-side aware, RTL-correct), and submenus
open in 120ms and close in 84ms. The combobox list exits at 0.7x like
every other popup, and tooltips scale from their trigger.
Toasts keep travelling in the swipe direction when dismissed, ease back
on a cancelled swipe, and a replaced toast drops out before the new one
has finished rising.
The tabs indicator uses the movement curve and now also draws the line
variant's underline, so it slides instead of teleporting. Hotkey mode
switches in the resume and letter builders land instantly. Radio dots
and checkbox ticks grow in instead of popping or only fading.
Add a Collapsible primitive to @reactive-resume/ui wrapping Base UI's
collapsible, styled like the accordion panel: height grows over 200ms and
folds over 140ms on ease-enter, reversing mid-animation.
Use it for entry cards, section rows, Basics, Check categories,
Design > Advanced, More options, AI provider rows and ATS checker findings,
so content no longer teleports while the chevron rotates. Chevrons at those
sites now share duration-standard ease-enter.
Opening an entry scrolls it back into view once the previous one has folded
away if it slid above the panel, and the page-to-panel reveal re-aims its
scroll after the panels settle. Advanced's open state moves up to the
Design panel so its nav pill can open it; the e2e fixture drives the new
trigger via aria-expanded.
Buttons (every variant except link, skipped while loading), chips, tiles,
nav items, rail and tab-bar icons now dip to 0.97 on press; document,
template, application and suggestion cards dip to 0.98. Full-width settings
and conversation rows darken to the press colour instead of shrinking.
Joined button groups cancel the scale so their seams stay closed, and the
switch thumb stretches toward its travel while held.
Document and template cards transitioned transform, but Tailwind v4 lifts
with the translate property, so their hover lift jumped; they now list
translate and scale. A new document card keeps its accent ring while
hovered, and letter template cards lift like resume template cards.
Set Tailwind's default transition duration and curve to --d1/--ease so
bare transition-* utilities run quick on the house curve. Mirror the
motion tokens in libs/motion.ts (EASE, EASE_MOVE, D1-D3, EXIT) and move
app UI off ease-out-strong and hand-typed 150/300ms durations; the
landing page keeps --ease-out-strong.
Give snapping hover and focus states a transition, slide progress fills
with translate instead of animating width, keep selection outlines'
width and style constant so they fade from transparent instead of
flashing dark, and drop the unused agent-prompt-marquee keyframes.
Forme gives an absolute box no height from its top and bottom offsets,
so the bar that react-pdf stretched down each section's items vanished.
The converter now draws such a bar as the left border of a box around
the other children, which is as tall as they are and is painted on
every page the section reaches.
RichInput, the full-toolbar editor only notes used, is gone with its tests; the editor extensions it defined move to rich-text-extensions.ts, which the rich text editor already used.
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.
