Owner

Two pieces of a job search's timing that Postulo holds but does not act on. Found in the 2026-09-15 code audit.

1. Application deadlines and posting closing dates are never shown or announced

Application.deadline (applications/models.py:213) and JobPosting.closes_at (jobs/models.py:654) are stored.
Neither is drawn on the Calendar page, although applications/agenda.py was built as a generic event shape for this (:15-20), and neither is ever notified.
closing_soon exists only as a count on the dashboard (jobs/models.py:586-590).
The wiki says "none is there yet" (Tracking applications).

Proposal:

Draw both on the calendar as their own kind of entry, with a legend and a filter.
A new notifier event, A posting you are considering closes soon, sent once a configurable number of days before (default 3), stamped like reminders so it is never sent twice. It uses the claim-before-send fix from the scheduler issue (#221).
Include both in the ICS feed as all-day entries.

2. Reminders can only be created or marked done

There is no edit and no delete, in the interface (applications/urls.py:22-26) or the API (api/routers/reminders.py). A mistyped due time cannot be fixed.
The only "snooze" is the gone-quiet action, which creates a fresh reminder on each press (views.py:548-561).

Proposal:

Edit and delete, for the person who owns the reminder.
Later, with tomorrow, next week or a chosen date. It moves due_at and resets notified_at, as reschedule_interview already does.
The same action reachable from a notification's link.
API: PATCH and DELETE on reminders (write scope), with a wiki line.

Two pieces of a job search's timing that Postulo holds but does not act on. Found in the 2026-09-15 code audit. ## 1. Application deadlines and posting closing dates are never shown or announced - `Application.deadline` (`applications/models.py:213`) and `JobPosting.closes_at` (`jobs/models.py:654`) are stored. - Neither is drawn on the Calendar page, although `applications/agenda.py` was built as a generic event shape for this (`:15-20`), and neither is ever notified. - `closing_soon` exists only as a count on the dashboard (`jobs/models.py:586-590`). - The wiki says "none is there yet" (*Tracking applications*). **Proposal:** - Draw both on the calendar as their own kind of entry, with a legend and a filter. - A new notifier event, *A posting you are considering closes soon*, sent once a configurable number of days before (default 3), stamped like reminders so it is never sent twice. It uses the claim-before-send fix from the scheduler issue (#221). - Include both in the ICS feed as all-day entries. ## 2.
