Debug Job Posting Data Flow

Expected Data Flow

1. Job Posting Service returns:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "job": { /* JobPosting object */ },
    "analysis": { /* JobAnalysisResult object */ }
  }
}

2. API Route wraps this with createSecureAPIResponse:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "job": { /* JobPosting object */ },
    "analysis": { /* JobAnalysisResult object */ }
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-08-28T20:44:36.637Z"
}

3. Frontend Form receives this and calls onSuccess(result.data)

4. Success Component should receive:

{
  "job": { /* JobPosting object */ },
  "analysis": { /* JobAnalysisResult object */ }
}

Current Issue

The success component is showing "Job data is missing" which means jobResult.job is undefined.

Debugging Steps

1. Added logging to see what the form receives from API
2. Added logging to see what the success component receives
3. Added fallback handling in case the data structure is different

Next Steps

Test job posting again to see the debug output and identify where the data structure breaks.
