we built a 'failed' column on purpose, then caught our own agent triggering it

Short summary

This auto-apply tool reads ATS confirmations—unlike competitors that only hope submissions land. A race condition caused successful applications to be marked failed after network errors. The fix: a submitClickIssued gate prevents failures after the click is registered, replacing hard fails with human-review requests.

• •Most auto-apply tools don't verify success; this one reads ATS confirmations
• •Race condition: network error after successful submit caused false failure
• •Solution: submitClickIssued gate prevents hard failures post-click, asks for human confirmation instead
