Add New Job to Tracker

Add a new row to

List.xlsx

(the job application tracker at the path in

config.py → TRACKER_FILE

Column layout

A: Company name
B: Role title
C: Role link (job posting URL)
D: Status
E: HR contact (leave empty)
F: Comments (leave empty)

Status values

Default (applied):
```
done
```
Save for later / not yet applied:
```
In progress
```

If the user doesn't specify, use

done

Steps

Ask the user for any missing info: company name (required), role title, job URL. If they provided it already, skip asking.
Open
```
List.xlsx
```
using openpyxl. Handle
```
PermissionError
```
by working from a temp copy.
Use the first sheet (
```
wb.active
```
at load time — read it before any writes to avoid sheet-shift bugs).
Append the new row at the bottom: Company, Role, URL, Status, empty, empty.
Save the file.
Confirm to the user: company name, role, status, and which row it was added to.

Things to check

If the company already exists in the tracker, mention it and ask if they still want to add a new row (they may have a different role).
Leave columns E and F empty — HR contacts are managed separately via the update-hr workflow.
