feat(app): Kongsberg Seatex DevOps & Test Infra submitted; KB gaps closed; scout triage 2026-10-08

Application
- Kongsberg Discovery / Seatex, Lead Engineer DevOps and Test Infrastructure
  (Trondheim): resume, cover letter (+ paste text), verbatim JD, session and
  critique. Submitted 2026-10-08 via EasyCruit as a deliberate cold application
  on a user override of the embedded-SW hard gate (Evidence Fit 69, Document
  Quality 84). Recorded in applications.json and decisions.json.
- Google Senior SWE Full Stack Commerce: session and verbatim JD from
  2026-10-03 (no-go on the frontend gap, held, not submitted).

Knowledge base
- claims.json: ED-1 (embedded/robotics coursework, none since studies),
  SW-9 (current unit testing, pytest), new skills (pytest, unit testing,
  embedded systems (coursework), VHDL, robotics (coursework)), and Jenkins and
  GitLab CI/CD registered from existing GN-1/FC-1/BS-6/SW-3 scopes.
- Earlier uncommitted KB work: 2026-09-18 Python frameworks / enterprise SaaS
  clarification, 2026-10-03 data-product design / no-frontend clarification,
  2026-10-06 working-model rule (3 homeoffice days baseline) in config.md and
  application_strategy.md, plus related experience/bundle/taxonomy updates.
- CLAUDE.md corrections log: 2026-10-08 entry for the three canonical gaps.

Scout
- 2026-10-08 run triaged by JD read: NVIDIA DGX Cloud Senior Production
  Engineer, Google SRE III Prod AI / Senior SRE / Staff Shopping Graph and
  Amazon RIVR DevOps logged as maybe; GenAI FDE family, Kraken AI Platform,
  PostFinance DevOps and five Kdo Cy reqs logged as skip with reasons.

Housekeeping
- .gitignore: ignore .cache/ and raw HTML page dumps under output/.
