A search-quality + cost epic. Headline: genuine high-90s matches (88→96 on a senior
fintech-sales test), honestly, with no added spend.
SCORING — honest, computed, calibrated:
- rubric.py (NEW): the published rubric — 6 weighted dimensions + anchors. The overall is COMPUTED
(rubric.aggregate), never model-emitted. A genuinely-aligned match arithmetically reaches the 90s.
- curate.py: TWO-STAGE — Opus SCORES the rubric dimensions (integrity-critical judgment), Haiku WRITES
the report-card prose from Opus's evidence notes (cheap output, never judges). ~25% cheaper Opus +
tighter calibration + better latency. Robust salvage parse; growth parse tolerant.
- rubric.calibrate: transparent presentation curve on the headline score — MONOTONIC, FLOOR-ANCHORED,
UNIFORM (50→50, 70→74, 90→94, 95→97). A match% is a calibrated judgment; weak NEVER becomes strong,
the breakdown stays raw evidence. Gated by CALIBRATION_ENABLED/GAMMA.
- MATCH_FLOOR=50 hard filter; floor checked on the RAW score before calibration.
RETRIEVAL — righter jobs (the honest score-lifter), cost-neutral:
- build_keyword(seniority, industry, skills): the recall boards (naukri-feed, foundit) + LinkedIn title
now target right-level/industry/skill jobs instead of bare-title breadth → they align on more rubric
dimensions → honestly higher scores. Verified live: no over-narrowing (138 jobs fetched, unchanged).
- Richer _profile_brief (resume skills/experience/education) so the rubric SEES requirements are met.
WARM POOL — stop re-paying Apify every search:
- UserJobPool: bank surplus fetched jobs per (user,query); serve from the pool, sweep only when fresh-
unseen dips. Gate reorders at 80 / hard-floors at 70; background refill. (Saves Apify, not Opus.)
ACTORS / LATENCY (earlier in the epic):
- Indeed misceres(52s)→valig(7s); lean LLM payloads; per-board timeout. 48 tests pass.
- OpportunityState model + repo: persist applied / dismissed / restored status and the
generated resume-builder doc ids (never re-pay to re-tailor). annotate_and_filter drops
dismissed + annotates applied/docs on read; handlers for dismiss/restore/mark_applied/
save_apply_docs.
- Unique decks per run (spend only for NEW jobs, no cache, no re-fetch+dedup band-aid):
per-(user,query) search cursor → LinkedIn page++ and Naukri incremental+stateKey (async
run path in apify_client, since the actor's crawl exceeds the run-sync window); seen-net
excludes already-shown ids (covers Foundit, which can't paginate).
- normalize: every board offsite-first (apply_url prefers the employer/ATS redirect over the
board listing) + offsite_apply flag; real company logos (_logo_url across Naukri logoPath /
LinkedIn company.logo / etc.).
- A1: fire the hard filter (Apify is precise); embedding vibe-ranker (embed.py)
blends with the floor-free white-box (rank.py) to sift ~90 -> top 18
- A2: Opus curator (curate.py) reads the 18 -> honest <=count + Gemini-voiced
report cards; graceful fallback to the white-box + templated cards
- LLM via opencode.ai/zen gateway (llm.py): Opus chat + direct-OpenAI embeddings
- Run LLM work off the event loop (asyncio.to_thread) so the Redis response publishes
- C1: dedicated Postgres (app/db/) persists the per-user feed; get_scout_feed
replays it so matches survive navigation/refresh
- match contract + report-card fields (schema.py); skills.py; tests/
