0.59.3-alpha · core 2026-09-16

Research-led JTBD output is now structurally accountable. Every prompt that uses research must append a Draft Bets section with the candidate, rationale, source bias and gaps, directional confidence, and a cheapest disconfirming validation step. Empty appendices are forbidden.
Financial needs now use current-market research carefully. Pricing, alternatives, procurement constraints, and cost structures can inform candidate needs, while their scores remain bets rather than demand or willingness-to-pay measurements.
Guardrails against inferred mental states. Thinking Styles and Emotional & Social Jobs can use research only for candidate language and context; inner states remain interview hypotheses, and generated excerpts cannot be presented as real user quotes.
Alpha release metadata. v0.59.2-alpha is now marked as a GitHub pre-release; subsequent alpha releases follow the same setting.
