Envoy v1.0.2

Envoy is a Windows desktop app that scores how likely a job posting is a waste of your time and shows you the reasons behind the score. It also has a human-gated apply copilot (it tailors your resume and fills the form, you review and submit) and a job search over public ATS feeds.

What's new in v1.0.2

A stability and polish release. Everything here is under the hood; nothing about how you use the app changes.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash in the LLM / Ollama settings when the model list rendered.
• A full code-review pass fixed 53 verified bugs. The ones you might notice: resume PDFs now include the contact header (name, email, phone) that was being left off; Google Gemini returns its model list again; the LinkedIn template matches URLs; and settings and API-key save failures now tell you instead of failing silently. Deeper down: safer browser handling, a database-access fix that could crash under concurrent use, correct posting dates for the age signals, and a batch of null-safety, locale, and resource-leak fixes.

Added

• The app, its window, the installer, and the shortcuts now carry the Envoy icon.

Downloads

File	What it is
Envoy-v1.0.2-setup.exe	Installer (recommended). Sets up Start-menu shortcuts.
Envoy-v1.0.2-win-x64.zip	Portable. Unzip and run Envoy.exe, no install.

Both are self-contained, so you don't need the .NET runtime. Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

Verifying the download

Every binary is Authenticode-signed by "LXBSTUDIO LLC" (Azure Trusted Signing) and timestamped. You can also check it against SHA256SUMS.txt:

Get-FileHash .\Envoy-v1.0.2-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Feedback and bug reports are welcome. Open an issue or a discussion. Envoy is tuned for precision: it flags a posting only on strong or converging evidence, and it never puts a bare "fake" label on a named company.

Early beta

Envoy is in early beta and needs testers. The most useful thing you can do is run it and open an issue for anything that looks wrong: a real job flagged as risky, a ghost that slipped through, a crash, a confusing screen. Graded starter issues are open if you want to contribute code. Everyone who helps is credited in the release notes.

Envoy v1.0.1

Envoy is a Windows desktop app that scores how likely a job posting is a waste of your time and shows you the reasons behind the score. It also has a human-gated apply copilot (it tailors your resume and fills the form, you review and submit) and a job search over public ATS feeds.

What's new in v1.0.1

A hardening and polish release on top of v1.0.0, after a full pass over the code ahead of opening the project up.

Fixes

• Apply and browser: fixed a Chrome DevTools navigation bug that could hang the apply flow. The tailored-resume PDF filename is now sanitized, which closes a path that could write a file outside the app's folder. Screenshot capture now honors the setting, and you can turn it off.
• Settings: saves are now atomic, so a crash or a locked file can't wipe your stored API keys, and a failed save shows up in the UI instead of failing quietly. The Brave Search key is masked.
• LLM providers: fixed the default cloud models and model selection (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and the Anthropic connectivity check.
• Ghost detection: the Duplicate JD signal is now wired to a live corpus.

Under the hood

• Real file logging and visible crash reporting, so bug reports are easier.
• Full AGPL-3.0 license text, third-party notices, and a cleaner README and CONTRIBUTING with a set of good first issues.

Envoy v1.0.0

Go-live release. Ghost-job detection is now a first-class, in-app feature, and Envoy discovers jobs from sanctioned public sources.

Highlights

• Ghost detection wired into the app — a Ghost Risk panel (risk band + confidence + human-readable evidence) on every prepared application.
• New Find Jobs view + Envoy.Discovery — public ATS board APIs (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee) + optional Brave web search (your own key). No scraping, no anti-bot evasion, no CAPTCHA bypass. Every posting is ghost-scored.
• New Scam Pattern signal (Deterministic, local regex). 5 working signals ship — none inert.
• Human-gated submit is now truly blocking; default Operation Mode is Safe.
• Stealth input emulation is a guarded, off-by-default opt-in.

133 tests passing. See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

v0.2.0-beta — Ghost-job detection preview

This is a pre-release preview of Envoy's new ghost-job detection framework.

What's new:

• Extensible signal framework for scoring job-posting risk (Deterministic / Probabilistic / Weak tiers)
• GhostScorer aggregator with transparent evidence (score + confidence + human-readable reasons)
• Reference signal: ATS cross-check against public Greenhouse and Lever APIs
• 6 additional signal lanes are open as signal: issues for contributors — PERM filings, duplicate JD detection, posting age, repost frequency, hiring freeze, and scam patterns

What's unchanged:

• The apply flow remains a human-gated copilot — Envoy prepares your application, but you review and submit. No autonomous batch-apply loop. No CAPTCHA solving.
• Reads public, sanctioned data only (company ATS feeds, government datasets, the posting already in front of you). No scraping behind authentication. No LinkedIn scraping.

Build details:

• Signed Windows x64 build (both portable ZIP and installer)
• Authenticode signature: LXB Studio LLC
• .NET 8 self-contained single-file executable

This is an early preview for testers. 6 of 7 signals are currently stubs — the framework is real, the ATS cross-check is real, and community signals are welcome.
