Known issues & roadmap
An honest, current list. Statuses are categories, not dates.
Known issues (closed beta)
| Issue | Status | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Unsigned build → Windows SmartScreen / macOS "unidentified developer" warning | known | Windows: More info → Run anyway. macOS: Control-click → Open. Code signing comes with the public release. |
| Older Windows 10 console: Ctrl+V may not paste the API key | known | Right-click to paste (the field shows the hint). Newer Windows is unaffected. |
| Pasting a multi-line CV/answer in the console interview can mis-split lines (Windows) | mitigated | Use the /paste mode (end with a single .) — it always works; every turn is checkpointed so nothing is lost. |
| PDF CVs with side-column dates can parse out of order | known | Prefer a .docx, .txt, or .md CV for the cleanest profile; FOX3 warns when you attach a PDF. |
| Company-pages / priority-employer field shows but is "in development" | in development | Naming a priority employer still boosts its listings in scoring; dedicated company-page scraping is not built yet. |
| Very relaxed search constraints can hit the run budget cap before deep research | by design | Expected: a huge result set is fully scored, then deep research is skipped to protect cost. Tighten the region/keywords to go deeper. |
Roadmap
In development

- In-app feedback / digest-tuning surface.
- macOS parity pass.
- Full German localization of the control panel & wizard chrome.
Investigating
- Better PDF CV extraction (layout-aware / per-column).
