Fixes #4139.

Implements the issue’s option 1: an explicit Scope: domain rule. company remains the default and retains normalized company-label matching.

Summary

  • match domain rules against the posting URL hostname with an exact/subdomain suffix boundary
  • share matching behavior between scan.mjs and scan-ats-full.mjs
  • document both legal scope values and make clear that ownership is never inferred
  • add regression coverage for label matching, suffix boundaries, default filtering, and audit annotations

Verification

No automatic parent/subsidiary mapping is introduced: users opt in by adding an explicit domain suffix to their own blacklist.

Summary

Users can now apply blacklist rules by company label or posting domain.

User-visible changes

  • company scope remains the default. It matches normalized feed company labels.
  • domain scope matches the posting URL hostname, including valid subdomains such as jobs.ibm.com.
  • Host boundaries are enforced. notibm.com does not match ibm.com.
  • Both scan.mjs and scan-ats-full.mjs use the same matching logic.
  • Audit mode records the matching blacklist reason.
  • The system does not infer parent or subsidiary ownership. Users must add each required domain explicitly.

Files changed

  • scan.mjs: adds findBlacklistEntry() and normalizes blacklist scopes.
  • scan-ats-full.mjs: uses shared blacklist matching.
  • DATA_CONTRACT.md: documents valid scope values and ownership behavior.
  • docs/SCRIPTS.md: documents company and domain matching.
  • templates/blacklist.example.md: adds scope examples.
  • test-all.mjs: adds regression coverage for labels, domains, boundaries, default filtering, and audit annotations.

No changes were made to AGENTS.md, modes/, update-system.mjs, providers/, or .github/.

Verification: 8,724 assertions passed. Two unrelated Gemini live smoke-test failures could not fetch Google.

Changes

The blacklist now supports explicit company and domain scopes. Domain entries match posting hostname suffixes. Both scan paths use the shared resolver. Tests, templates, and documentation cover the new behavior.

Blacklist scope matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse and resolve blacklist scopes
scan.mjs, test-all.mjs
parseBlacklist normalizes scope values. findBlacklistEntry matches normalized company names or domain suffixes with hostname boundaries. Tests cover both paths.
Apply scoped matching during scans
scan.mjs, scan-ats-full.mjs, test-all.mjs
The standard scan and ATS-full scan use findBlacklistEntry with job or offer URLs. Tests verify filtering and audit annotations.
Document scoped blacklist entries
DATA_CONTRACT.md, docs/SCRIPTS.md, templates/blacklist.example.md
The documentation describes company and domain scopes. The example includes an ibm.com domain entry.

Explicit domain blacklist rules can be silently ignored or bypassed by blacklist gates, allowing postings the user intended to exclude to proceed. Fix these matching gaps before merging.

| `status-log.tsv` (sibling of the active tracker file — `data/status-log.tsv` in the default layout) | Your append-only status transition ledger: `{tracker#}\t{date}\t{from}\t{to}\t{source}\t{note}`. Appended by `set-status.mjs` next to wherever the tracker lives, on every real status change (the tracker stays the source of truth for *state*; the ledger records *when* transitions happened); never edited in place — corrections are new `correction`-source lines. An unknown from- or to-state is the sentinel `-`, never an empty cell; the two columns then diverge, with a from of `-` parsing to null (no prior state) and a to of `-` preserved as the literal unknown-target sentinel, while an empty cell is rejected as `unknown from-state ""` or `unknown to-state ""` for its own column. The source column is a closed set whose members are `VALID_SOURCES` in `funnel-velocity.mjs` — that declaration is the authority, so this contract points at it rather than restating a list that goes stale the next time a writer is added. Any value outside the set parses but is counted as an unknown source and excluded from the funnel, so per-writer detail belongs in the note column rather than namespaced onto the source.

Pass the posting URL to the blacklist gates or narrow the contract

modes/auto-pipeline.md:36, modes/oferta.md:22, and modes/apply.md:34 instruct the gates to check only the posting's company. They do not apply hostname-suffix matching to the posting URL. A Scope: domain entry can therefore be enforced by scan.mjs but bypassed by these gates. Update the gates to use both the company and posting URL, or narrow DATA_CONTRACT.md:49 to company-only matching for these gates.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve distinct domain blacklist rules.

scan.mjs, Line 2442 uses normalizeCompany(company) as the Map key for domain entries. It removes dots and hyphens, so a.b.com and a-b.com both become abcom. The second valid domain rule is then discarded by entries.has(key), and findBlacklistEntry() cannot apply it.

Use a scope-qualified canonical hostname key for domain entries. Keep normalized keys for company entries. Add a regression case with punctuation-colliding domain names.

Proposed fix
-    const key = normalizeCompany(company);
-    if (!key || entries.has(key)) continue;
     const scope = (cells[3] || 'company').toLowerCase();
+    const key = scope === 'domain'
+      ? `domain:${company.trim().toLowerCase().replace(/\.$/, '')}`
+      : normalizeCompany(company);
+    if (!key || entries.has(key)) continue;

scan: the blacklist Scope column is parsed but never read, so a parent-company entry misses postings labelled with an acquired brand
