Triage reads only whole listings

  • Some job listings arrive cut short. One job search API sends only the first 500 or so characters of each listing, and job-alert emails carry a single line. The full pages are off limits under the tool's access rules, so the duties, requirements, pay terms and office days are missing. The AI models were voting on those previews as if they were whole listings.
  • A first fix labeled the previews in the triage prompt and asked the models to judge only what was there. The person rejected it: a vote on a fragment is still a guess.
  • Now previews never go to triage. Every triage button leaves them out, and the job listing gets a yellow chip: "preview only — not triaged; open the listing". The person opens those themselves. Tested on the live page: a copied batch held no preview, and its shortest description ran about 5,000 characters.
  • The employer's own copy wins. When a preview and the employer's own job board list the same job, the full copy from the board is kept, and it is triaged like any other.
  • Earlier votes on previews were set aside in an archive file. Votes on full listings stayed.
