CareerVector User Stories

This catalog enumerates the user stories CareerVector needs to guarantee semantically. It is the input to the testing architecture, not the architecture itself. Each story is written in user-facing Given/When/Then form. Implementation details belong in the test code that will operationalize these stories, not here.

The catalog is organized as a single index table followed by full story bodies. Each story is identified by P<persona>-G<goal>-S<n>.

Personas

Goals

Severity tiers

• Critical — Failure breaks the product premise (multi-cooperator first, link = identity, real-time first, FIXED-tier safety).
• High — Failure makes the product unusable for a common path.
• Medium — Failure is a poor experience but recoverable.
• Low — Edge-case or nice-to-have.
• Adversarial — Story exists specifically because a hostile input or destructive sequence must be handled gracefully.

Stories

Story P1-G1-S1: Solo user pastes a job URL and the row appears

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: Critical

Given:

• A fresh workspace at /{wsId}/dashboard
• The user has at least one working LLM key configured (or dev-mode env keys are available)
• The dashboard renders an empty job list

When:

• The user opens the Add Job UI and pastes a valid public job posting URL
• The user submits the form

Then:

• A new job row appears in the dashboard within 2 s
• The row carries the URL as its anchor identity (no re-entry needed if the same URL is added again later — see P1-G1-S5)
• No error UI is shown anywhere on the page
• The job has a stable id that survives reload
• A pipeline state transition is visible: extract begins, then enrich, then evaluate (see P1-G2-S1)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Single browser session
• Paste a known-good URL via the add-job dialog
• Assert the row appears on the dashboard with the URL intact
• Reload the dashboard and confirm the same row is still present
• Assert pipeline LEDs progress (extract → enrich → evaluate) without manual intervention

Story P1-G1-S2: Solo user adds a job with only manual fields, no URL

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: High

Given:

• A fresh workspace
• The user has a job they want to track but no public URL (e.g. a referral or in-person tip)

When:

• The user opens the Add Job UI, fills in title and organization, leaves URL blank, submits

Then:

• The job row appears
• Auto-extract does not run (no URL to scrape)
• The row is in a state where the user can manually fill description / salary / location later
• Score reflects whatever evaluations remain achievable without a description

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Paste no URL, just title + organization
• Row visible on dashboard
• Extract LED is not green (no description to extract from)
• Job can be moved through kanban and tailored against (with degraded results) just like a fully-extracted job

Story P1-G1-S3: Solo user pastes a malformed URL

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: Adversarial

Given:

• A fresh workspace

When:

• The user pastes a string that is not a valid URL (e.g. not-a-url, javascript:alert(1), mailto:foo@bar, or a URL with no host)

Then:

• The Add Job form rejects the input with a clear inline message
• No row is created in the workspace
• No outbound network request is made to a sketchy origin
• The user is left in a state where they can correct and retry

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Submit each of: empty string, not-a-url, javascript:..., mailto:..., https://, URL with whitespace
• Assert the form surfaces an error and does not POST to /jobs
• Assert workspace state is unchanged (no new row in jobs sub-doc)

Story P1-G1-S4: Solo user pastes URL that doesn't look like a job page

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: Adversarial

Given:

• A fresh workspace

When:

• The user pastes a valid URL but it resolves to a non-job page (e.g. company homepage, news article, Wikipedia)

Then:

• The row is created (the system cannot truly know in advance whether the page is a job page)
• The extract stage runs but produces low-confidence results — title may be empty or generic, salary undetermined, industry empty
• The user can still annotate manually, delete the row, or supply a description by hand
• No silent failure: extract surfaces "no extractable content" or similar honest signal

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Use a known non-job URL (e.g. https://example.com)
• Row is created
• After extract, title is either empty or marked as low-quality, no fabricated data
• Origin tints reflect what was actually produced vs what was left blank

Story P1-G1-S5: Solo user pastes a URL already in the workspace

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with job J at URL U

When:

• The user pastes URL U again via the add-job form

Then:

• No second row is created
• The user is taken to (or informed of) the existing row
• No second extract runs; no LLM credits consumed for the duplicate

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Add a job via URL U
• Wait for extract to complete
• Submit URL U again
• Assert list_jobs returns exactly one job
• Assert no second extract process_request was enqueued

Story P1-G1-S6: Solo user pastes URL with tracking parameters

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: Medium

Given:

• A workspace with job J at URL https://example.com/jobs/123

When:

• The user pastes https://example.com/jobs/123?utm_source=foo&ref=bar (canonical URL with tracking parameters)

Then:

• The system normalizes the URL (deterministic canonicalization, used in the deterministic request_id for add_job)
• The duplicate is detected and treated like P1-G1-S5
• Only one job exists in the workspace

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Confirm the request_id for both URLs hashes to the same value
• Confirm only one row in jobs

Story P1-G2-S1: Solo user job is auto-extracted

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: Critical

Given:

• A workspace with a single job added by URL with a real description scrape

When:

• The user waits ≤ 15 s after add

Then:

• title, organization, location, salary (if stated), industry, workload, language are populated
• Each filled cell carries an origin marker of class pipeline or agent (whichever ran extract) with provider:model in actor_id
• The dashboard tints the cell according to provider
• No fabricated values for fields the description didn't contain (e.g. salary remains blank or undetermined if not mentioned, see P1-G2-S6)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Use the demo URL with mocked extract response
• After 15 s, all the above fields are filled
• Cell-origins endpoint reports actorClass='pipeline'/'agent' with structured actor_id
• description Y.Text is populated and survives reload

Story P1-G2-S2: Solo user — LLM returns malformed JSON during extract

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with a job at a real URL
• The first LLM in the chain returns malformed JSON (simulated via test fixture)

When:

• Extract runs

Then:

• The cascade detects the schema-validation error and falls over to the next provider
• The next provider returns valid JSON
• The job ends up extracted with origin reflecting the second provider, not the first
• No partial-write state is left on the job (the row never carries half-validated data)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Two-provider chain; first returns garbage JSON, second returns valid
• After extract, all required fields populated
• Origin for those fields = second provider
• No failed-process_request row remains "running" for that job

Story P1-G2-S3: Solo user — first provider 429-rate-limits

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: Critical

Given:

• A workspace with a job at a real URL
• First provider in chain hits 429 within the first attempt

When:

• Extract runs

Then:

• The cascade rotates to the next slot (next key, then next provider)
• The job is extracted via a working slot
• Origin reflects the slot that succeeded
• No double-charging or duplicate extract runs

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Simulate 429 from slot 1
• Assert extract completes via slot 2 or later
• health-log records the 429 on slot 1 and the success on the fallback
• No duplicate process_request rows

Story P1-G2-S4: Solo user — scrape returns no description

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: High

Given:

• A URL whose scraped HTML produces no body text (e.g. JS-rendered, paywalled, or 404)

When:

• Extract is attempted

Then:

• The system marks the job's extract LED as "no description available"
• It does NOT call the LLM with empty content
• The job remains in the workspace, user can paste description manually
• No fabricated extracted fields

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Use a stub URL with empty body
• After attempted extract, fields stay blank
• No pipeline actor writes appear in the cell-origins map for that job
• Reasoning surface (eval_reasoning or status) explains why extract did not produce data

Story P1-G2-S5: Solo user — extracted industry doesn't match user's enum

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: Medium

Given:

• A workspace with a custom industries list (omits, e.g., "Pharma")
• A job whose description heavily implies Pharma

When:

• Extract runs

Then:

• The LLM is prompted with the user's custom enum only
• The chosen industry is normalized to one of the enum values, or left blank if no plausible mapping
• The dashboard cell does not show a free-text "Pharma" value (which would break the enum invariant)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Configure a workspace with custom enum that excludes Pharma
• Run extract on a Pharma job description
• Industry cell is either empty or the closest enum match (e.g. "Healthcare")
• No raw "Pharma" string anywhere

Story P1-G2-S6: Solo user — salary not stated, enrichment estimates

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Extract job facts Severity: High

Given:

• A job description with no salary information

When:

• Extract completes with salary: null
• Enrichment runs estimateSalary()

Then:

• A salary estimate appears with confidence (low/medium/high)
• The estimate is tagged as derived from LLM estimation (cell origin reflects this), not as if scraped
• The user can still override manually; override carries actorClass='human'

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Use a job with no salary in description
• After enrich, salary cell shows a number
• eval_reasoning.salary is populated with the LLM's reasoning
• Cell origin = pipeline:<provider>:<model>
• User manually edits the salary; cell origin flips to human:device:<id>

Story P1-G3-S1: Solo user — default scoring config produces score

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Score jobs Severity: Critical

Given:

• A workspace with default scoring config (the seed defaults)
• A job extracted with enough fields to score

When:

• Evaluate runs

Then:

• A numeric score appears on the dashboard cell
• Reasoning is stored for each evaluated criterion
• Origin tint matches the provider that ran evaluation
• Score is reproducible — same job + same config = same score (modulo LLM randomness; if seeded chain, byte-identical)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Demo workspace with mocked LLM
• Add job, let pipeline complete
• Assert score > 0
• Assert evaluations.* and eval_reasoning.* populated
• Origins map reports each criterion's writer

Story P1-G3-S2: Solo user customizes scoring weights mid-flight

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Score jobs Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with 5 jobs already scored
• The user opens scoring config and changes a weight

When:

• The user saves the new config

Then:

• All 5 job scores recalculate (locally; no LLM call needed — weights only affect aggregation)
• The dashboard updates within 2 s
• No re-evaluation of criteria is triggered (criteria values are unchanged)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Five scored jobs
• Increase one weight by 50%
• Confirm all 5 scores shift in the expected direction
• Confirm evaluations cells unchanged (no new LLM calls)
• Confirm origin tints unchanged

Story P1-G3-S3: Solo user — knockout boolean knocks score to zero

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Score jobs Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with a boolean criterion configured as hard knockout (penalty factor 0)

When:

• A job is evaluated and the criterion is false

Then:

• The score is 0 (or whatever the knockout's penalty produces; 0 if penalty=0)
• The dashboard cell carries a visible knockout indicator (error-toned)
• Other criteria are still recorded and visible in the detail view — knockout doesn't erase the per-criterion reasoning

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Configure a knockout criterion
• Score a job that fails the criterion
• Assert score = 0
• Assert per-criterion evaluations and reasoning still present
• Assert knockout indicator visible in the score cell

Story P1-G3-S4: Solo user — job has no description, scoring degrades gracefully

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Score jobs Severity: Medium

Given:

• A job with empty description but a title and organization

When:

• Evaluate runs

Then:

• Evaluations that depend on description are either skipped (cell empty) or marked low-confidence
• The aggregate score reflects available evaluations only — no invented data
• The user can see in the detail tab which criteria couldn't be evaluated

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Add a job with no description
• After evaluate, check evaluations map: criteria are either absent or carry a "no description" reasoning
• No fabricated criterion values

Story P1-G3-S5: Solo user adds a custom column, score recalculates

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Score jobs Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with 3 jobs scored
• The user opens scoring config and adds a new boolean criterion "Has stock options"

When:

• The user saves and triggers re-evaluation (or the workspace runs evaluate against the new criterion)

Then:

• Each job is re-evaluated, but ONLY for the new criterion (single-flight prevents re-running existing ones)
• Cell origins show the new criterion's evaluator
• Score recomputes with the new criterion included

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Pre-state: 3 jobs with score and all criteria filled
• Add a new criterion
• Trigger evaluate
• Assert each job has the new criterion filled, others unchanged
• Assert compute_lock prevented duplicate criterion evaluations

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Evaluate fit Severity: High

Given:

• Workspace with a configured home address (with countryCode)
• A job with a known location

When:

• Enrich runs

Then:

• Commute (mode and minutes) is computed and persisted to the job
• Cell origin = system:commute
• Re-running enrich does not re-compute (compute_lock holds for the duration)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Configure home address
• Add a job in a different city
• After enrich, commute_config.minutes present
• Cell origin actorClass=system, actorId=commute
• Re-trigger enrich: no second commute API call

Story P1-G4-S2: Solo user — home address missing, commute blocked

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Evaluate fit Severity: Medium

Given:

• Workspace with no home address configured

When:

• Enrich runs on a job

Then:

• Commute is not computed; no commute API call is made
• The detail view of the job tells the user "configure home address to enable commute"
• No fabricated commute value
• The remaining enrich steps (salary estimation, etc.) still complete

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Skip home-address setup

• commute_config is null/absent
• No commute-related origin entries for the job

Story P1-G4-S3: Solo user — boolean criterion changes after eval, single-flight prevents re-eval

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Evaluate fit Severity: High

Given:

• A job that has been evaluated against criterion C
• The criterion value in the workspace settings has not changed

When:

• A second client tab opens and triggers evaluate for the same job

Then:

• The pre-flight check sees all eval columns already filled
• No LLM call is made
• The lock is never even acquired
• Both clients see the same evaluation

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Two tabs open same workspace
• Both trigger evaluate on the same job at roughly the same time

• Both tabs see identical evaluations

Story P1-G5-S1: Solo user drags a job between kanban columns

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Decide which to apply for Severity: Critical

Given:

• A workspace with kanban view selected and three columns: Backlog, Considering, Applied
• A job in Backlog

When:

• The user drags the job to Considering

Then:

• The job's status_id updates to the Considering column's status
• The dashboard reflects the move immediately (optimistic)
• After settling, the row persists in Considering
• order_state records the manual position (if drop-positioned, not just status change)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Drag-and-drop simulation
• Assert status_id matches Considering
• Reload — job still in Considering
• Cell origin for status_id = human:device:<id>

Story P1-G5-S2: Solo user creates custom view grouping by score band

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Decide which to apply for Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with 10 jobs scored across 0–10
• Default views are present

When:

• The user opens Views modal, creates a new view with rules: score >= 8 → "Top picks", score >= 5 → "Worth considering", else → "Skip"
• The user activates the new view

Then:

• Jobs partition into three groups by rule order (first-match-wins)
• The "Skip" catch-all collects unmatched
• Each group renders with its assigned tone
• Switching back to a built-in view returns to that view's grouping without losing the custom view

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Create the custom view via UI
• Assert each job is grouped correctly
• Switch view, switch back — assertions hold
• View definition persists across reload

Story P1-G5-S3: Solo user sorts by descending score

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Decide which to apply for Severity: High

Given:

• A workspace with multiple jobs

When:

• The user clicks the score column header to sort descending

Then:

• Jobs reorder by score, highest first

When:

• The user drags job A above job B inside the same group

Then:

• The new order persists in order_state (sparse — only manually-positioned jobs recorded)
• Reload preserves the order
• Subsequent jobs added to that group don't disturb A/B's positions

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Drag job A above job B
• Reload
• Order preserved
• Add a new job — it goes to default position relative to A and B

Story P1-G6-S1: Solo user tailors a CV for the first time on a job

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Tailor CV/CL Severity: Critical

Given:

• A workspace with a quarry (CV profile en) and at least one extracted job

When:

• The user opens the job and triggers tailor

Then:

• A tailored snapshot is written at jobs/<id>/tailored_cv
• The snapshot is a full Node tree (not a delta) — independent of subsequent quarry edits
• The snapshot's FIXED-tier nodes are byte-identical to the quarry's FIXED nodes
• The snapshot's HYBRID nodes have selections narrowed to fit the job
• The snapshot's OPEN nodes (e.g. summary) carry generated text grounded in the quarry

• The user edits the quarry adding a new variant for a bullet

When:

• The user triggers re-tailor

Then:

• A fresh snapshot is taken
• The new variant is considered in HYBRID selection
• The old tailored snapshot is replaced (re-tailor wipes the branch)
• The quarry variants are unchanged (the quarry is intentional memory — see G9 stories)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Tailor job → snapshot T1
• Add a new variant in quarry
• Re-tailor → snapshot T2
• T2 may differ from T1; assert it does (or doesn't, consistently)
• Quarry pool unchanged: count of children in the pool is +1 from baseline

Story P1-G6-S3: Solo user — FIXED identity preserved verbatim

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Tailor CV/CL Severity: Critical

Given:

• A quarry with personal-info node carrying name: "Julian Corbet", email: "julian@example.com"
• The LLM provider is adversarial (returns name: "John Smith" in any prompt)

When:

• Tailor runs

Then:

• The persisted tailored_cv carries name: "Julian Corbet" and email: "julian@example.com"
• The LLM was never given the FIXED data and could not modify it (the pipeline walks the tree and copies FIXED nodes verbatim)
• The cell origin for any identity fields reflects the original human writer, not the LLM

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Quarry with identity fields
• Mock LLM that tries to modify name/email
• Tailor
• Assert tailored copy carries unchanged identity
• Assert no LLM call passed identity bytes (verify by inspecting prompt fixture)

• Each selected entry's content matches the quarry verbatim (HYBRID tier — LLM may lightly rephrase but cannot invent)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Quarry with 6 experiences (3 backend, 3 design)
• Job mentions backend
• Tailor
• Assert selected entries are mostly backend
• Compare each selected entry's data to the quarry — no new facts injected

When:

• Tailor runs

Then:

• The tailor process_request transitions to status='failed' with an error message that names cascade exhaustion

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Tailor CV/CL Severity: High

Given:

• A tailored CV with a locally-edited bullet B-tailored (the original bullet B exists in the quarry)

When:

• The user clicks "Save as variant" / promote on B-tailored

Then:

• The quarry gains a new child Node alongside B (B and B-tailored coexist in the pool)
• The new child is NOT activated by default (selection.active unchanged unless user also activates it)
• The original quarry bullet B is preserved
• Subsequent tailor on other jobs can choose either B or B-tailored

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Edit a bullet in tailored
• Promote
• Quarry pool size +1 for that bullet's parent
• New node's text matches the tailored edit
• selection.active[] in quarry unchanged

Story P1-G6-S11: Solo user re-tailors; previous snapshot replaced but quarry variants persist

Persona: Solo job seeker Goal: Tailor CV/CL Severity: High

Given:

Story P4-G6-S5: Agent deletes a FIXED-tier personal-info node

Persona: Agent-augmented job seeker Goal: Tailor CV Severity: Medium

Given:

• A FIXED-tier personal-info node N in the quarry
• Agent calls node.delete on N

When:

• Op is processed

Then:

• FIXED is about LLM-rewriting protection, not deletion protection
• The node is deleted (no special block)

• The defense is structural, not heuristic

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Mock LLM returns prompt-injection
• Tailor
• Snapshot identity = quarry identity
• (Optional: assert the summary text also doesn't contain "Ignore previous instructions" — but this is best-effort, not load-bearing)

Persona: Any Goal: Iterate on profile Severity: Adversarial

Given:

• Workspace shared via link
• A bad-faith collaborator with the link

When:

• They issue cv_profile.replace with an empty tree (or call node.delete on root)

Then:

• The op commits (link = identity = full edit rights, per PRINCIPLES §5)
• The quarry is wiped
• Recovery is possible from the op log (every prior state is reconstructable)
• Documented expectation: link sharing is a trust gesture; user is responsible for who has the link

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Wipe quarry via op
• Op succeeds
• Reconstruct via op log replay
• Documentation surface (CLAUDE.md / PRINCIPLES.md) describes this

Story ADV-S13: Adversarial — malicious / corrupt PDF upload as reference

Persona: Any Goal: Any Severity: Adversarial

Story ADV-S14: Adversarial — agent floods workspace with 10k job.create

Persona: Any Goal: Acquire jobs Severity: Adversarial

Given:

• An agent loop fires 10,000 distinct add_job calls within minutes

When:

• All commit

Then:

• All 10k rows land (no artificial cap — per CLAUDE.md "tens to hundreds of jobs per workspace, because high-volume application work is normal" — though 10k is beyond design intent, the system should not crash)
• The dashboard remains responsive (table virtualization handles render)
• Per-job pipelines do not all fire at once — claim_token + cascade keep concurrency bounded
• Edge cache + sub-doc immutable URLs still serve fresh reads

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Bulk insert (mocked, lightweight payloads) of 10k jobs
• Dashboard loads
• Scroll is smooth (virtualization)
• No 1027 on the Worker free-tier (or quota policy fires gracefully per ADV-S11)

When:

• User kills the tab (browser close, not graceful unload)

Then:

• On reopen, IDB pending ops replay with same opIds
• Server commits or dedupes
• Final state contains the user's typing

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Type → slow network → kill tab
• Reopen
• State matches typing
• No duplicate ops

Story REC-S2: Recovery — browser dies during tailor

Persona: Any Goal: Tailor CV Severity: High

Given:

• Tailor in flight; LLM call mid-completion

When:

• Browser dies

Then:

• On reopen, the user sees either:
  • The tailor completed (if the LLM call had landed)
  • The tailor pending / failed (if not)
• No partial snapshot
• The user can re-trigger if needed

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Mock tailor with 30 s delay
• Kill browser at 15 s
• Reopen at 60 s
• State is consistent (snapshot exists or doesn't, no half-state)

Story REC-S3: Recovery — Realtime DO hibernates, wakes on interaction

Persona: Any Goal: Any Severity: Critical

Given:

• Workspace idle for >1 hour (DO hibernates)

When:

• User opens dashboard

Then:

• DO wakes
• State restored from canonical sub-doc bytes in D1
• WebSocket reconnects cleanly
• Subsequent interactions are sub-second

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Force idle
• Confirm hibernation in logs
• Open dashboard
• Wake observed
• Subsequent edits work

Story REC-S4: Recovery — edge cache stale after writes

Persona: Any Goal: Any Severity: High

Given:

• Sub-doc cached at edge with clock N
• A write bumps the clock to N+1

When:

• A peer fetches the sub-doc

Then:

• The URL with ?since=N is now stale; the new URL is ?since=N+1 (or the client knows to fetch fresh)
• The peer fetches fresh from origin or via SWR
• The stale cached entry doesn't poison reads (immutable URL pattern means stale = different URL)

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Write → clock bump
• Peer fetches with old since
• Fresh data returned
• No stale-read symptoms

Story REC-S5: Recovery — SSE stream disconnects mid-session

Persona: Any Goal: Any Severity: High

Given:

• SSE stream active for user
• Connection drops at second 25 (CF free-tier 30 s ceiling)

When:

• The stream reconnects (auto, with retry: 1500ms hint)

Then:

• Missed events catch up via Last-Event-ID or ?since=N cursor
• No events lost
• User experience is seamless

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Open SSE stream
• Force disconnect at 25 s
• Trigger an event during the gap
• Reconnect
• Catch-up event arrives

Story REC-S6: Recovery — y-indexeddb corrupted

Persona: Any Goal: Any Severity: Medium

Given:

• IndexedDB DB for the workspace is corrupted (e.g. browser bug)

When:

• User opens workspace

Then:

• The client detects unreadable IDB
• Falls back to fresh fetch from server
• IDB is reset cleanly
• No double-replay of stale pending ops
• User can continue working

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Corrupt IDB
• Open workspace
• Fresh state from server
• IDB rebuilt
• No errors visible

Story REC-S7: Recovery — laptop slept mid-tailor

Persona: Any Goal: Tailor CV Severity: Medium

Given:

• User triggers tailor
• Laptop sleeps before completion
• User wakes laptop 10 minutes later

When:

• Network resumes

Then:

• Process_request lease/claim semantics: if the original tab's claim expired, another worker (or the same tab on reconnect) takes over
• Tailor completes
• Snapshot persists
• User sees the result

Acceptance criteria for the test:

• Trigger tailor with long delay
• Simulate laptop sleep
• Wake after lease expiry
• Tailor completes via reclaim
• Snapshot present

Out of scope

These are explicitly out of scope for this catalog and may be added in future sweeps:

• Workspace deletion / destroy — there is no such gesture (see X-G10-S2). Stories about destruction beyond hostile-collaborator wipe (ADV-S12) are not enumerated.
• Server-side PDF rendering — locked decision (PRINCIPLES §1, §8). No stories enumerate it.
• Federated / self-hosted workspaces — locked decision (no self-hosting). No stories enumerate it.
• OCR / vision on uploaded PDFs — locked (agent reads file itself). No stories.
• Bullet-locking UX — currently a follow-up; P2-G6-S4 holds the story slot.
• Notes editor — v2 dropped it; intent currently unclear. No stories enumerated until decision is documented.
• Bulk CSV import — UI stub, not yet built. No stories.
• JobRadar scraping — UI stub, not yet built. No stories.
• RADAR auto-discovery — future. No stories.
• Workspace rename / list-workspaces / get-workspace-by-slug — partly implemented; deferred.

Notes for the testing architecture agent

• These stories are persona-anchored, not endpoint-anchored. The same story may have implementations at the API/SDK level (sub-2-s) and at the e2e/browser level (slower but visual). Prefer the lowest test layer that can prove the invariant.
• Multi-actor stories require multi-context test fixtures. Two browser contexts or two MCP clients minimum for any concurrency story.
• Recovery stories require time manipulation or process management (kill tab, simulate sleep, force DO hibernation). Plan the harness for this.
• Adversarial stories often require mock LLM payloads or crafted op envelopes. These are easier at the API layer than at the browser layer.
• Cell-origin verification is a common assertion. A reusable helper that fetches /cell-origins?since=N and asserts actorClass/actor_id shape is high-leverage.
• Cross-cutting stories often combine multiple sub-doc paths. They are most prone to revealing real bugs in atomicity (workspace.batch, settings + order_state, etc.).
• Severity Critical stories should be the first cohort to lift; they protect the multi-cooperator premise and the FIXED-tier safety guarantee — the two load-bearing product invariants.
