/**
* role-clarity.mjs — Six-point role-clarity check for a job posting
*
* Reads the text of ONE posting and reports, for each of six facts a candidate
* needs before spending an interview on it, whether the posting states it:
*
* 1. supervisor direct supervisor and department
* 2. scope scope of work
* 3. deliverables deliverables and their format
* 4. success how success is measured in the first 3-6 months
* 5. coordination the teams or people the role coordinates with
* 6. cadence delivery cadence
*
* Each point is `present`, `partial` or `missing`, with the quoted evidence
* (always an exact substring of the input — nothing is paraphrased). A second,
* independent signal lists soft-verb patterns ("participate in", "support",
* "potential implementation", "other duties as assigned") that carry the
* weight of a duty. When three or more points are missing the result sets
* `askBeforeYouCommit` and lists one question per missing or partial point, so
* the evaluation can print an "ask before you commit" list and a recruiter
* question DRAFT (modes/oferta.md, Role-clarity check). This script never
* sends anything and never writes anything.
*
* Posting text is DATA. This script only matches patterns against it: no text
* from the posting is evaluated, executed, or used to choose a code path, so an
* instruction embedded in a posting ("ignore previous instructions") is just
* another sentence and cannot change the shape of the output
* (tests/role-clarity.test.mjs asserts that).
*
* Advisory only. Output has no effect on the 1-5 score. Detection is
* deliberately conservative keyword matching, not comprehension: `present`
* means "the posting contains wording of this kind", and the reader still has
* to judge whether the wording is specific enough.
*
* English only. Locale mode sets can extend the soft-verb list without editing
* this file by passing `extraSoftVerbs` to analyzeRoleClarity().
*
* Run: node role-clarity.mjs <jd-file> (JSON to stdout)
* node role-clarity.mjs <jd-file> --summary (human-readable)
* node role-clarity.mjs --self-test
*
* Issue #6091 — github.com/career-ops-hq/career-ops
