Update

This build makes profile setup sturdier: table-based Word CVs are now read in full, scanned CVs are caught early, and every on-screen command works on macOS and Windows.

FixDetails
Table & column Word CVs read in full If your Word CV uses a table or column layout (common in a tabellarischer Lebenslauf), FOX3 now reads the whole document — previously, text inside tables could be dropped silently, leaving gaps in your profile. Table/column PDFs can still parse out of order, so a .docx, .txt or .md CV stays the most reliable (known issues).
Scanned CVs are caught early If your PDF is a scan or image with no selectable text, FOX3 now tells you up front — and spends nothing — instead of quietly building an empty profile.
Commands that work everywhere The digest-tuning step and other on-screen hints used a bare python command that stock macOS doesn't have (so they failed with "command not found"). Every command is now the branded fox3 … form; digest tuning is fox3 feedback.
Sturdier profile setup Reading your CV no longer fails if the AI reply is cut short (it retries), and pointing the file picker at a folder now gives a clear message instead of a confusing error.
Profile-setup cost is tracked The small cost of reading your CV now counts toward your daily and monthly budget history like everything else, and interrupting setup won't lose work you've already paid for.
Version history

v0.3.1 — Stability & feedback pass

FixDetails
Interrupted runs are safe now Stopping a run (or closing the window mid-run) no longer wastes scoring cost or leaves a subsequent digest empty. A stopped run resumes cleanly, listings already scored are reused, never re-charged.
Live run progress The progress bar advances listing-by-listing as they're scored, so a long run no longer looks frozen.
Interview "thinking…" indicator The guided interview shows when it's composing a reply, so it never looks stuck on a slow connection.
Accurate region scope warning The "Austria-wide" scope warning no longer fires when you've chosen a specific region in Settings.
Reliable scheduled runs Scheduled runs are checked once a day (not only at logon), so digests arrive on schedule even on an always-on machine.
Correct cost figures The cost note on the API-key screen matches the app's real budget caps.

v0.2.2 — Closed beta launch

The first invited-tester build: multi-source scraping, AI scoring against your profile, the guided interview, and the ranked digest.
