Offlyn Apply v0.2.5 — Release Notes
March 3, 2026
Bug Fixes & Reliability
Storage resilience overhaul (onboarding)
The profile save and storage repair flows have been significantly hardened to handle transient Firefox storage errors without unnecessary data loss.
Transient-error fast retry — on any storage read/write failure, the extension now waits 500ms and retries once before escalating. Most Firefox disk I/O and quota-check errors resolve within this window.
New retryStorageRead utility — storage reads are now retried up to 3 times with 300ms between attempts before declaring failure. Profile load on the onboarding init path uses this first, falling back to repair only after all retries are exhausted.
Smarter repairStorage — the repair sequence now backs up the user's profile and all dashboard metrics before any destructive operation, and restores them after a full clear. Users who previously lost their profile during a storage repair will no longer experience data loss.
Targeted resume key cleanup — the repair sequence now removes all resume-related keys (resumeFile, resumeFileMeta, resumeChunk_*, resume_embeddings, resume_chunks, rag_context) as the first escalation step, reserving a full clear as a true last resort.
Migration skips instead of repairs — a failure during the resume file migration check now skips silently and retries next open, rather than triggering a destructive repair on what is likely a transient read error.
Visual
Updated toolbar icons — refreshed branding across all sizes (16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 96×96, 128×128).

Adaptive Learning System
The extension now learns from every form submission, not just corrections. When you submit an application, it snapshots all field values at high confidence and uses them to improve future fills on similar forms (learning-system.ts).
Context-Aware Answer Storage
Multiple variations of answers (e.g. "Why this company?", cover letters, availability) can now be stored per context — industry, company size, seniority level — and the right variation is selected automatically (context-aware-storage.ts).
Tracking Badge
A subtle frosted-glass pill appears bottom-left when a job page is detected, showing the job title and company. It auto-dismisses after 2 seconds and can be manually closed.
Sync Service Foundation
Infrastructure for optional backend syncing of profile and contextual data is now in place for a future cloud sync feature (sync-service.ts).

Live Parse Feed
The onboarding resume upload now shows a live feed as it reads your resume — you can see actual content being extracted word-by-word with a blinking cursor, giving clear visual feedback that parsing is in progress.
Smarter Multi-Page Form Handling
The autofill engine now detects clicks on "Next", "Continue", and "Apply" buttons and automatically waits for the page state to transition before re-scanning for new fields. This means multi-step application forms fill correctly without manual intervention.
Workday Integration
Native support for Workday application forms — the extension now detects Workday pages, identifies the current step, and runs dedicated handlers for complex sections like Work Experience, Education, Languages, and the Skills tag input.
Resume Parse Progress Streaming
Resume parsing now broadcasts real-time progress stages and percentages from the background to the UI, so you always know how far along the AI is.
Application Stats in Popup
The popup now loads live stats (total applications, currently interviewing) directly from storage and displays them on open.
Dark Mode Toggle in Popup
A dark mode toggle button is now available directly in the popup header. ( Thank you @Carlos for the suggestion )
Bug Fixes
Fixed missed click events on buttons with icon/span children (clicks now bubble up to the correct interactive element)
Improved error messages for resume parse failures with better classification
Removed legacy pdf.worker.mjs in favour of the newer worker file

Version 0.2.0 introduces a reinforcement learning engine that improves autofill accuracy over time based on user corrections. A new settings page, compatibility widget, and Ollama configuration panel make the extension easier to set up and use. The UI has been refreshed with the updated Offlyn brand design across all pages. Also includes a new help page, privacy policy page, smarter field matching, and significant stability improvements.

v0.1.2 — Workday support & better error messages

• Workday support — Autofill now works on Workday job applications, including Work Experience, Education, Languages, and Skills sections that the generic engine couldn't reach
• Clearer AI setup errors — When Ollama models aren't installed, the extension now shows the exact terminal commands to run (ollama pull llama3.2) instead of a generic error
• Better PDF parsing — Improved PDF resume loading with fallback handling and clearer error messages if the PDF library fails to load
• Smarter field label detection — Added Workday-specific label detection (data-automation-id attributes) so fields are correctly identified and filled
