Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

[2026-03-08]

Added

• Scheduled analytics cleanup command (app:prune-analytics-data) to prune stale public page views and scrub sensitive external application tracking fields.
• Regression coverage for signed public resume access, CV extraction consent, analytics cleanup, and minimized external application tracking data.
• Extended analytics cleanup coverage for blog engagements, event views, and employer analytics session metadata.
• Signed outbound warning flow for external job applications and event registrations.
• Regression coverage for non-owner team management restrictions, outbound redirect signatures, and constrained admin resume downloads.

Changed

• Public resume sharing now uses signed URLs, while employer CV database views render under employer access controls instead of redirecting to a public profile URL.
• CV uploads now use a private filesystem path and AI extraction requires explicit user consent in resume import and optional consent in onboarding/profile CV updates.
• Public analytics retention now prunes old public_page_views records after 90 days.
• Blog engagement, event view, and employer analytics session identifiers are now stored as HMAC hashes instead of raw session or visitor values.
• External job and event URLs now require HTTPS validation across Livewire and Filament entry points and route through a signed warning page before leaving the platform.
• Resume and CV download controllers now resolve files only from approved disk/prefix combinations instead of probing public storage.

Fixed

• Redacted candidate email, phone, street address, postcode, and social links from public resume views while preserving full contact data for authorized employer CV access.
• Minimized public analytics storage by masking IP addresses, hashing visitor identifiers, dropping raw referrer/session/user-agent data, and avoiding raw query parameter storage.
• External application tracking now avoids persisting raw user-agent data, masks stored IP addresses, and strips session identifiers from metadata.
• Event view tracking now stores referrer host and hashed session identifiers instead of attempting to persist raw client metadata.
• Team management actions now enforce company-owner access in the Livewire component as well as the route middleware.

[2026-02-22]

Added

• Public changelog page at /changelog with footer navigation under Resources.
• Employer-side AI draft assistant on job create/edit forms with optional instruction input.
• Structured AI job draft agent for generating role description sections (about role, responsibilities, requirements, nice-to-have, and offer details).
• Feature coverage for employer AI draft generation flows.
• One-off cleanup command to remove deprecated global job AI summary fields (app:cleanup-global-job-ai-insights).
• Employer CV Database feature tests for profile visibility and filtering behavior.
• Employer CV Database saved recruiter filters (save, reuse, and delete).
• Employer CV Database sort options: Recently updated, Newest, and Most skills match.
• Direct Contact Candidate action on CV Database profile cards.
• Applicant profile-view notifications when employers open candidate profiles from CV Database.

Changed

• AI job insights storage migrated from global job-level fields to user-scoped records (user_job_ai_insights) so generated results are private per logged-in user.
• Public job AI insight generation now dispatches locale-aware queued jobs per user and persists only successful non-fallback outputs.
• AI insight rendering now requires authenticated users and shows user-specific content only.
• Public job cards and home featured cards now use View Details CTAs and expose match percentage badges for applicants.
• Job details AI panel now supports collapse/expand interaction.
• AI output language now follows page locale consistently (English/German without mixed-language sections).
• DeepSeek routing aligned to deepseek-chat when configured with deepseek-reasoner alias in current service settings.
• Employer CV Database page now uses real searchable candidate profile data with keyword and industry filters, open-to-work filter, dynamic stats, and pagination.
• Employer CV Database page now surfaces a visible premium feature badge in the active experience.
• Employer CV Database search area is now more compact, with saved filter chips always visible and a simplified save-filter input row.
• Employer CV Database filter layout further refined for usability: full-width keyword search priority and improved Open to work only checkbox alignment.

Fixed

• Removed stale "generating" cache collisions by keying AI generation state per job and user.
• Prevented generic placeholder AI output from being persisted when job descriptions are insufficient or contain dummy content.
• Resolved timeout parameter misuse on unsupported agent prompt signatures.
• Reduced cross-user data leakage risk by eliminating shared AI summary persistence on job_listings.
• CV Database industry filtering behavior hardened for stored profile industry JSON formats.
• Applicant profile view tracking now sends notifications when employers open profiles from CV Database (with anti-spam throttling).
• Invited employer proxy accounts no longer receive applicant onboarding welcome emails after registration; employer invite registrations now receive a workspace-focused employer welcome message.
