# Story 6.4: Executive Resume Template

Status: done

## Story

As a **user applying for senior positions**,
I want **an executive-format resume template**,
So that **my resume meets industry standards for leadership roles**.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** I run `resume build --jd file.txt --template executive`
   **When** the resume is generated
   **Then** the layout follows executive resume best practices:
     - Name prominently displayed (18-24pt)
     - Professional title below name
     - Contact info on single line with separators
     - Executive summary section (3-5 sentences)
     - Core competencies in categorized groups
     - Experience with scope indicators (budget, team size)
     - Certifications section
     - Education section
     - Skills as curated list (not dump)

2. **Given** the executive template renders
   **When** I inspect the PDF
   **Then** it uses professional typography (Calibri or similar)
   **And** single-column layout for ATS compatibility
   **And** strategic use of bold for section headers
   **And** accent color limited to section dividers (navy or dark gray)
   **And** 1-inch margins on all sides

3. **Given** work units have scope data (budget_managed, team_size)
   **When** the executive template renders
   **Then** scope indicators appear prominently:
     "Led team of 15 engineers | $2M budget | Global scope"

4. **Given** the resume content exceeds 1 page
   **When** the PDF is generated
   **Then** page breaks occur between sections (not mid-bullet)
   **And** header with name appears on page 2

5. **Given** I have an executive summary in profile config
   **When** the template renders
   **Then** the summary appears below contact info
   **And** it is 3-5 sentences focused on value proposition

6. **Given** no executive summary exists in config
   **When** the template renders
   **Then** a placeholder or auto-generated summary from top work units is shown

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Compliance

This story implements FR42 (executive-format resume) per the PRD and Architecture Section 1.4 (Content Strategy Standards). The template follows research-validated executive resume best practices.

**Critical Rules from project-context.md:**
- Templates render gracefully when optional sections missing
- Use Jinja2 conditionals for all optional content
- Single-column layout for ATS compatibility (94-97% parsing accuracy)

**Research-Validated Standards (Architecture 1.4):**
- 2-3 pages for senior roles (two-page achieves 35% higher callback rate)
- Single-column preferred for ATS
- Sans-serif 10-12pt body (Calibri, Arial, Helvetica)
- Summary: 3-5 sentences, quantified
- Bullets per recent role: 4-6 (up to 8)
- Characters per bullet: 100-160

### Executive Template Structure

> **Note:** The code samples below are illustrative examples showing the intended structure.
> See the actual implementation in `src/resume_as_code/templates/executive.html` and `.css`
> for production code, which includes additional features like placeholder handling for AC#6.

### Scope Indicators Formatting

```python
def format_scope_line(work_unit: WorkUnit) -> str | None:
    """Format scope indicators for executive template.

    Returns: "Led team of 15 engineers | $2M budget | Global scope"
    """
    parts = []

    scope = work_unit.scope or {}

    if team_size := scope.get("team_size"):
        parts.append(f"Led team of {team_size}")

    if budget := scope.get("budget_managed"):
        parts.append(f"{budget} budget")

    if revenue := scope.get("revenue_influenced"):
        parts.append(f"{revenue} revenue impact")

    if geo := scope.get("geographic_reach"):
        parts.append(geo)

    return " | ".join(parts) if parts else None
```

### ResumeData Extensions

```python
# Ensure ResumeData includes fields for executive template

@dataclass
class ExperienceEntry:
    """Single experience entry for resume."""
    company: str
    title: str
    start_date: str
    end_date: str | None
    location: str | None
    achievements: list[str]
    scope: str | None  # Formatted scope line
```

### Conflict Resolution: Existing executive.css

**Issue:** An `executive.css` already exists with serif styling (Georgia), 0.6in/0.7in margins, and double-border header treatment. Story 6.4 specifies sans-serif (Calibri), 1-inch margins, and research-validated modern executive styling.

**Resolution:**
1. **Rename existing template** to `executive-classic.html/css` - preserves traditional serif styling for finance/law sectors
2. **Create new executive template** per Story 6.4 spec and CSS styling research
3. **Update template registry** to include both: `executive` (new, default) and `executive-classic` (serif variant)

**Rationale:** Research confirms serif fonts signal tradition/stability (finance, law, government) while sans-serif signals modernity/innovation (tech, startups). Both variants have valid use cases.

**Key Differences:**

| Aspect | executive-classic (existing) | executive (new) |
|--------|------------------------------|-----------------|
| Font | Georgia (serif) | Calibri/Arial (sans-serif) |
| Margins | 0.6in/0.7in | 1 inch |
| Header | Double border, uppercase | Single border, centered |
| Text color | #1a1a2e | #1a1a1a |
| Accent | #2a5298 | #2c3e50 |
| Target sector | Finance, Law, Government | Tech, Healthcare, General |

        """Should render scope indicators for experience entries."""
        # Test with experience entries that have scope data
        pass

    def test_page_breaks_between_sections(self, tmp_path):
