Scout run 2026-09-04 (36 companies, 778 eligible) plus the NVIDIA package it surfaced, and the tooling and policy fixes found along the way. Application - NVIDIA Senior DevOps Engineer, Zurich (JR2024256): submitted 2026-09-05. Evidence Fit 64/100 Stretch, hard gate FAIL x2, channel Weak. Sent on an explicit user override with the working model unresolved, so hybrid-vs-onsite is a live screening topic. 2pp resume + 1pp cover letter, both validators PASS, 0 boxes, 0 Tier 1 findings open. Policy - Drop the 7 Core / 2 Adjacent / 1 Stretch cohort caps. They had no derivation and were overridden whenever they bound, and the cohort was confounded: it tested fit class while holding channel constant at Weak across all six applications. Keep the recording, drop the rationing. - Channel replaces the slot budget as the rationed variable: no application goes out cold when a named contact is published and reachable. - Propagated through shared_ops, session_file_template, cohort_tracker (counts, never counts-against-a-target) and application_cohort.json. Tool fixes - fetch_workday emitted 404 URLs for every Workday company (NVIDIA, Novartis, Equinor): externalPath is site-relative and needs the locale + site prefix. 6/6 short-form 404, 3/3 long-form 200. 773 dead links repaired across 42 archived reports. - find_decision_url silently de-linked decisions on two boards, which is why ruled-out roles kept resurfacing as undecided. RUAG rotates its UUID on repost; BIS migrated its vacancy URL scheme, orphaning 5 decisions including a live application. Fixed as a two-tier match, not a slug key -- slugs collide (two live RUAG reqs shared one). Knowledge base - claims.json: add Bash / shell scripting, the third canonical gap of this shape after Ansible and Linux administration. - bundle_data_platform: BS-4 was framed as a delivered observability stack over what claims.json calls a proof of concept -- the defect the 2026-08-21 sweep was told to look for. - CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md: correct the RUAG Data Lakehouse shortlist claim, which the JD does not support and which both files still asserted. - resume_template: comment-guard the missing babel/ngerman language block.

\begin{rSection}{Summary}
|
|
Engineer with over ten years building the automation and delivery layer that engineering and research teams rely on: Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD, containerized delivery on Kubernetes, and Ansible-driven Linux server automation. Integrated containerized ML inference into a continuously operating semiconductor fab, and today owns business-critical pipeline components on call at Swisscom.
