Full changelog
The signals release
Every evaluation now ends with a Risk Summary: one table joining the five company-risk signals (posting legitimacy, employment classification, culture screen, interview red flags, AI claims vs infrastructure) — aggregation only, and "not evaluated" is stated honestly instead of hidden. On top of it, eleven new behavioral signals and guards landed across oferta, interview and apply modes, the scanner now persists a per-posting trust score, and reserved report numbers can no longer race each other.
The CareerOps Manifesto keeps growing on its own — 30+ signatures, each one a commit. This release routes to it from every surface (README, first scan, dashboard m, post-update note), and if you signed with your first-ever public GitHub contribution, your certificate now says so.
