## Description

Job Apply Assistant helps users create tailored application letters faster.
It extracts visible text from the currently open job posting tab, identifies key details (position, company, requirements, tasks, location), and generates a professional cover letter draft in Typst format.

Main features:

AI-powered job analysis from the active page
Cover letter generation in editable Typst code
Two AI modes: Google Gemini (cloud) or Ollama (local)
Candidate profile editor (JSON) for personalized output
Application tracker with status updates and CSV export
Privacy and data handling:

The extension processes only the active tab content when the user explicitly clicks Analyze.
In Gemini mode, prompt data is sent to Google Gemini API.
In Ollama mode, data is sent to local Ollama (localhost) directly or via local Go proxy (localhost:8080).
No remote code execution, no ads, no tracking SDKs.
