# Career source ledger

Reviewed September 20, 2026. The structured career source is `resume-source.json`. It generates the current resume/CV HTML, Markdown, and plain text; the reviewed HTML generates the PDF and DOCX files.

## Recovery and authority

The live website repository remains the deployment authority. Fuller material was recovered from career-conversion and hiring-first branches, then reconciled against the corrected baseline at commit `2371243aa097aed515c90c9f638ab83fc1475f6a` and current public project sources. Historical branches are evidence, not a deployable replacement for the current site.

## Employment and date policy

**Independent Engineering:** Start year 2023 from historical career record; current independent project activity confirmed by owner on 2026-09-20 and current public releases. Present refers to project practice, not continuous paid employment.

**Freelance Writing:** Start year 2017 is known. No current status, end year, or continuous employment is inferred.

**Arboriculture:** Full-time period April 25, 2015 to June 2, 2026. Legendary Tree is an applicant-provided organization label; the displayed role describes duties and does not establish a formal title or legal employer name.

**Networking Support:** 2014 to 2015, Xbox/Microsoft product contract, subcontracted through Stream/Convergys in Wilsonville, Oregon. Not direct Microsoft employment.

## Scope and unresolved limits

- Flywheel's registry and bundled payloads are different integration layers. Articulate's standalone v0.3.0 release is newer than the version declared in Flywheel's lane registry. Do not claim every latest companion is bundled in the v1.0.1 installer.
- Computer-use capabilities are described at the implemented Accountable Surface adapter level. This is not a claim that every platform, application, or action is supported out of the box.
- Accountable Surface remains alpha; its wheel is released on GitHub, not asserted to be on PyPI.
- Articulate writing signals do not prove AI authorship or factual truth. Optional editing uses a configured model.
- Phantom kernel and firmware layers are modeled and unshipped in the reviewed release.
- No customer adoption, revenue, universal safety, benchmark uplift, formal certification, or degree equivalency has been added.
- Private assessment work is described only at the already-public architecture level. No private code, scope manifests, targets, credentials, or operational records are included.
- Public source availability does not mean every owned project has an open-source license. External accepted contributions are separately identified.

## ATS and submission practice

The exports use selectable text, one reading column, ordinary headings, and contact details in the document body. They do not use skill charts, photos, text boxes, tables, hidden keywords, or invented qualifications. Use the format requested by each employer and review the fields populated after upload. No commercial ATS score or universal parser guarantee is claimed.

Primary vendor guidance checked: Greenhouse Recruiting, "Unsuccessful resume parse," updated March 2, 2026. The article identifies columns, complex tables, graphics, header/footer contact information, and files above 2.5 MB as parsing problems.

## Portfolio review inventory

75 public non-fork repositories were inventoried. Readmes, release descriptions, and selected source/tests were used to establish capability and packaging boundaries. This is not a claim that every implementation path in every repository was audited.

Exact reviewed commit IDs and README availability are recorded in `source-ledger.json`.

## AI assistance

AI assisted with retrieval, reconciliation, drafting, document generation, and test implementation. The evidence ledger distinguishes source-backed project capabilities, applicant-reported history, and unverified or deliberately excluded claims.

## September 20, 2026: one-page impact revision

Each targeted resume is one page; the full CV preserves the expanded record. Bullets connect personal actions to a delivered result and its use by a team or customer. No employer revenue, savings, resolution-rate improvement, accident-rate reduction, or time-saving percentage was established, so none is asserted. The 324 terminal-state cases, 337 component-forge cases, and 5,058 frozen expectations are coverage counts from the reviewed Terminal State Fixtures source, not a model-performance or adoption claim.

American-English spelling and grammar are reviewed across the canonical source and generated text; proper names and technical terms retain their project spelling.
