Two services on PCT 107 (debian, 192.168.2.81) for Government of Canada job hunting.

---

Streamlit STAR interview prep assistant at `gcjobs.carr-family.org` (Authentik protected).

- **Port:** 8501 (host-mode on 192.168.2.81)

- **Image:** `gcjobs-qa:latest` — built locally on PCT 107

- **Data volume:** `gcjobs-qa_gcjobs_data` → `/app/data/` (resume.json, star_answers.csv, etc.)

- **Env:** `OPENAI_API_KEY` in compose

---

Selenium bot that pre-fills GC Jobs (PSC) applications section-by-section and emails a summary for manual review before submitting.

- **URL:** `gcjobs-filler.carr-family.org` (no Authentik — static route in `routes.yml`)

- **Port:** 8000 (FastAPI, host-mode on 192.168.2.81)

- **Image:** `gcjobs-filler:latest` — built locally on PCT 107 from `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/app/`

- **Compose:** `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/docker-compose.yml` — `traefik.enable=false`, routing via `routes.yml`

- **Data:** `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/data/` on ZFS — mounted into PCT 107 via `mp3`, then Docker bind-mounts to `/app/data`

- **STAR data:** gcjobs-qa answer library mounted read-only at `/app/star_data` from `gcjobs-qa_gcjobs_data` volume on PCT 107

- **Permissions:** data dir `chmod 777`, files `666`, screenshots dir `777` (ZFS owned root:root, container writes as unprivileged user)

- **Notifications:** email via Proton Bridge SMTP when pre-fill completes

---

Navigate to `page1710?careerChoiceId=<id>&psrsMode=11` → PSC login (UserNumber/Password) → OTP from Proton Bridge IMAP (`Folders/GC Jobs`) → optional `page1570` (Notice page — bot clicks Continue) → optional `page1960` (Confirmation/consent — bot checks checkbox then clicks Continue) → `/applicant/<appid>/page1600` → fill 8 sections → stop before Submit → email notification.

**8 sections filled:** Employee info, Résumé, Screening Questions, Work locations, Classification, Education, Languages, Employment Equity.

**On unexpected pages:** bot saves a screenshot to `/app/data/screenshots/` for debugging.

---

| Format | Example |

|--------|---------|

| Standard posting | `page1800?poster=2424673` |

| Direct apply link | `page1710?careerChoiceId=2424673` |

| Newer PSC format | `/applicant/1156524/page1820?careerChoice=2424673` |

Career ID is extracted automatically from any of these formats.

---

| File | Purpose |

|------|---------|

| `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/data/config.yml` | GCKey creds (`[email protected]`), IMAP config, email, monitor settings |

| `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/data/profile.yml` | Employment info, language prefs, screening Q answers + narratives |

- `employment.classification` — must match visible text in the PSC dropdown (e.g. `"EC-05"`)

- `screening_questions` — map question-text substrings to `'yes'`/`'no'`; bot fuzzy-matches (≥85%) dynamically per job

- `screening_narratives` — free-text responses for Yes answers; same substring keys

---

1. Fuzzy match (≥85% via `rapidfuzz`) against `profile.yml` `screening_questions` → use profiled answer

2. If answer is `yes` and no narrative in `screening_narratives`, fuzzy-match question against STAR CSV → AI adapts that answer as narrative

3. No profile match → fuzzy-match (≥70%) against STAR CSV → answer `yes` + AI-adapt STAR narrative

4. No STAR match → ask OpenAI (`gpt-4o-mini`) yes/no from resume.json → if yes, generate narrative via `gpt-4o`

**"Section link not found for screeningQuestions"** — normal; the bot skips jobs with no screening questions.

---

| Tab | Purpose |

|-----|---------|

| Apply | Submit a job URL |

| Monitor | Watch the bot's progress |

| Jobs | Browse scraped job listings |

| History | Past applications |

| Profile | Employment, languages, education, EE consent, screening Qs + narratives |

| STAR Answers | Searchable answer library (from gcjobs-qa) |

| Settings | GCKey creds, IMAP, SMTP, monitor config |

**Settings password gotcha** — browsers block pre-filling `type="password"` fields, so opening Settings shows blank boxes. The backend preserves existing passwords when an empty string is submitted — safe to save without touching password fields.

---

- `keywords` — title/classification substrings

- `classifications` — e.g. `EC-05`

- `language_requirements` — e.g. `bilingual`, `english essential`; blank = all

**Jobs table** shows extracted language requirement per posting (colour-coded: purple = bilingual, blue = English essential).

tar -cf - -C /tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler --exclude='./data' . | \

pct exec 107 -- bash -c 'rm -rf /tmp/gcjobs-build && mkdir -p /tmp/gcjobs-build && tar -xf - -C /tmp/gcjobs-build'

pct exec 107 -- docker build -t gcjobs-filler:latest /tmp/gcjobs-build/

pct exec 108 -- docker service update --force gcjobs-filler_gcjobs-filler

cat /tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/docker-compose.yml | \

pct exec 108 -- bash -c 'cat > /tmp/gcjobs-filler-compose.yml'

pct exec 108 -- docker stack deploy -c /tmp/gcjobs-filler-compose.yml gcjobs-filler

**Deploy gotcha:** PCT 108 cannot access `/tank/appdata/gcjobs-filler/` (not in its LXC mounts). Always pipe the compose file in via stdin. `cp /tank/... /tmp/...` on the Proxmox host writes to the host's `/tmp/`, not PCT 108's.

`Client.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'` — AI narrative generation is broken in gcjobs-filler. Leaving screening question narratives unfilled. Cause: OpenAI client version incompatibility.
