# Remove Hot Jobs

Manage the hot jobs list in `daily_hot_jobs.json`. Hot jobs are sticky LinkedIn listings shown at the top of the daily email, 5 per category (or 8 for Tech Lead / AI categories).

## Key concepts

- **current_jobs**: dict of category → list of job objects. Clear a slot by removing from this list — it backfills on next run.
- **blocklist**: list of `[company, title]` pairs. Blocklisted jobs never reappear in that category.
- If a job was **applied to** (company is in the tracker), do NOT blocklist it — the system auto-removes tracker companies naturally.
- If a job is being **dismissed without applying**, blocklist it so it doesn't come back.

## Categories (exact keys in JSON)
- `Senior Java`
- `Backend Java`
- `Product Owner`
- `Assistant Project Manager`
- `Tech Lead / Lead Developer`
- `AI / GenAI Engineer`

## What to do based on what the user says

**Remove a single job** (applied or dismissed) — remove it from `current_jobs[category]`. If dismissed (not applied), also add `[company.lower(), title.lower()]` to `blocklist`.

**Clear all jobs in a category** — set `current_jobs[category] = []`. For each job, blocklist it unless the user says they applied to it (or it's already in the tracker).

**Remove from blocklist** — find and delete the matching `[company, title]` pair from the `blocklist` array.

**List current hot jobs for a category** — read and print `current_jobs[category]`.

## Steps

1. Read `daily_hot_jobs.json`.
2. If the user didn't specify which jobs they applied to vs dismissed, ask — applied jobs should NOT be blocklisted.
3. Make the changes (clear slots + update blocklist as needed).
4. Write the file back.
5. Confirm: how many slots cleared, how many blocklisted, which category.

## Important notes
- Blocklist entries must be `[company.lower().strip(), title.lower().strip()]` — lowercase, no leading/trailing spaces.
- Clearing slots triggers backfill on the next daily run (11:00 AM).
- Do NOT run the daily script after editing — changes take effect on the next scheduled run.
