Rebuild template and distillation process for stronger positioning - #2
Merged
Conversation
Catalin flagged the layout as broken and positioning as weak, sent an iOS-targeted CV as a second data point. Root cause was the same across all three profiles: Notable Work accumulates and never gets cut (14 entries for Catalin, 9 for Angel), so proof gets buried instead of leading. The template was still its first draft, missing running headers, page-break protection, and any proof device. - Cap Notable Work at 6 entries with a ranking rubric, demote the rest to a new Also section - Add proof: front matter (3-4 metric fragments) rendered as a stat band under the contact line - Rebuild templates/nomoreapply.typ: running header, accent bars, two-tone work entries, proof band, breakable:false on entries, fixed bullet spacing, dark CTA band - Fix two bugs in assemble-team.sh: team card pulled a full paragraph instead of the first one, and injected member text unescaped - Correct brand red back to #DC143C, matching the live site - Bump CI's pinned pandoc/typst to match local dev - Mine Catalin's iOS CV for facts, add target: field for role-targeted resources so intent doesn't get read as repositioning
Pandoc renders substituted metadata as content, not a string. The template interpolated name/role/proof inside Typst string literals, which broke the build on a quote or @mention in proof: and silently mangled ~ and *emphasis*. Fixed at the interpolation sites. The level-2/3 heading show rules discarded Typst's default heading stickiness instead of adding it, so headings orphaned more than before despite the PR claiming this was fixed. Wrapped both in block(sticky: true) and removed the unused workentry() helper that was meant to do this but was never called. Team member cards now carry breakable: false so they don't split across a page boundary. Extended assemble-team.sh's escaping to include [ ] < >, since ] is what actually closes the Typst content block injected text lands in. Makefile now rebuilds the team PDF when the script itself changes. AGENTS.md and .agents/ were frozen copies of this repo's pre-PR state from an earlier migration, invisible to review and set to silently revert this work on the next sync. Replaced with a tracked AGENTS.md symlink to CLAUDE.md and deleted .agents/. Reordered Notable Work chronologically in all three profiles, corrected via/for direction to lead with the recognisable brand, trimmed Cosmin's Summary to the word cap the schema introduces, and replaced Angel's unverified '15+ years' proof claim with one his listed roles actually support. Amended the unmerged positioning-overhaul commit's audit trail entry to stop claiming fixes that weren't actually in the code, and added a new entry for this pass.
v(0.05em) after the bold company/project heading left almost no space before the italic role/year line, reading as cramped.

Catalin flagged the layout as broken and positioning as weak, and sent an iOS-targeted CV as a second data point. Both traced to the same root cause across all three profiles: Notable Work accumulates and never gets cut (14 entries for Catalin, 9 for Angel), so proof gets buried in prose instead of leading the page. The template itself was still its first draft, missing running headers, page-break protection, and any proof device the brand's own design system calls for.
What this ships:
proof:front matter, rendered as a stat band under the contact linetemplates/nomoreapply.typ: running header on pages 2+, accent bars above headings, two-tone work entries, proof band, page-break protection on entries, fixed bullet spacing, one dark CTA bandassemble-team.sh(team card pulled a full paragraph plus testimonial instead of one, and injected member text unescaped)#DC143C, matching the live nomoreapply.com (an earlier "fix" had it backwards)target:metadata field so a role-targeted resource doesn't get misread as a repositioning signalTo check:
