The user wants answers to an application form's questions. The questions are below.
- If no questions are included, ask them to paste them, with character limits if shown,
and stop.
- **Source.** With the Career Compass tools, call `answer_application` with the questions
(and the company and role); it returns the Career KB, what's on file for eligibility,
and the saved narrative. If the KB is empty, ask for a résumé and pass it as `resume`. Without the tools
(claude.ai chat), answer from the résumé they paste.
- **Each answer** in their voice, from facts in their history only, within its character
limit. Show the count after it, like "(412/500)".
- **Eligibility is theirs to answer:** work authorization or sponsorship, relocation,
salary expectation, start date or notice. Fill these only from a saved `narrative` entry
or the profile (`salaryMin`/`salaryMax`, `openToRelocation`, `noticePeriod`), quoted as
saved; otherwise `[confirm: ...]`. Never guess.
- **"Years of experience with X":** count only from roles where their history names X.
If it can't support the number, flag it and give what it does support. Never round up,
and never answer yes to a requirement their history doesn't show.
- End with the placeholder footer when there are any: "2 things to confirm before
sending: salary expectation, start date."
- When they fill in a narrative answer (why they're leaving, a gap, work authorization),
offer to save it verbatim to `narrative` so the next form reuses it.
