JobCommandCenter: finish validation slice

[notion-portfolio-actuator]

This issue is the current governed execution slice for JobCommandCenter.

Why this issue is current

• Keep the active GitHub issue aligned with the real next slice instead of kickoff-era wording.
• Carry the project's real blockers, check posture, and evidence needs inside the governed lane.

Current focus

Use issue #3 as the active finish slice: capture real 5-job batch evidence, document LinkedIn bot-detection behavior, and keep polish/v1.0-improvements as the intentional default branch until finish validation is complete.

Check posture

The repo now has stronger local evidence than the earlier audit wording suggested: npm run build passes, the Python sidecar dry-run path has been verified end to end, and the PyInstaller sidecar bundle was built successfully on March 24, 2026.
GitHub workflow activity still skews toward placeholder Dependabot queue entries rather than meaningful product validation on the operating branch.

Blocking reality

• real 5-job batch evidence is still missing
• LinkedIn bot-detection behavior is still not documented well enough to remove uncertainty
• the current default-branch posture should remain intentional until finish-validation evidence exists

Done when

• The active Notion page and this governed issue describe the same slice.
• The current blockers are either resolved or replaced with fresher evidence-backed blockers.
• The next proof step for this project is captured through the governed GitHub lane.

Operational execution checkpoint for JobCommandCenter.

• Active packet focus: build the PyInstaller bundle, run a real 5-job batch, and validate LinkedIn bot-detection behavior.
• Current blocker: Unvalidated Playwright automation vs bot detection.

This comment marks the next governed execution slice for the project.

Governed execution truth refreshed on March 24, 2026.

• The local build and sidecar dry-run proof are already in place.
• The default branch remains intentionally set to polish/v1.0-improvements for now.
• The remaining work is the real finish-validation slice, not acceptance-target scaffolding.

Default-branch posture is now confirmed as intentional for this lane: keep as the operating default branch until the real finish-validation proof is complete. The remaining GitHub/governance cleanup in this bucket is now down to keeping this issue and Notion aligned with the existing finish slice, not changing the branch policy midstream.
