# Story 6.17: CTO Resume Template Variant

Status: done (code review completed 2026-01-13)

## Story

As a **CTO targeting board-level enterprise positions**,
I want **a CTO-specific resume template optimized for executive hiring**,
So that **my resume follows research-validated best practices for CTO candidates**.

> **Research Note (2026-01-12):** CTO resume layout research confirms Classic Executive (reverse chronological) or Hybrid format is optimal for board-level positions. The CTO template combines both with Career Highlights section.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** I run `resume build --jd file.txt --template cto`
   **When** the resume is generated
   **Then** the layout follows CTO resume best practices:
     - Name prominently displayed (22pt)
     - Professional title "Chief Technology Officer" below name
     - Contact info on single line with separators
     - Executive summary (3-5 sentences, business impact focus)
     - Career Highlights section (3-4 bullets, P&L/team/revenue metrics)
     - Professional Experience with prominent scope indicators
     - Board & Advisory Roles section (if populated)
     - Certifications section
     - Education section (brief, after experience)
     - Publications/Speaking (if populated)

2. **Given** the CTO template renders
   **When** I inspect the PDF
   **Then** it uses professional typography (Calibri or Arial)
   **And** single-column layout for ATS compatibility
   **And** strategic use of bold for metrics and numbers
   **And** accent color limited to section dividers (#2c3e50 navy)
   **And** 1-inch margins on all sides
   **And** 2 pages maximum (research-validated)

3. **Given** positions have scope data
   **When** the CTO template renders
   **Then** scope indicators appear prominently under each position:
   ```
   $500M revenue | 200+ engineers | $50M technology budget | Global
   ```

4. **Given** career highlights exist
   **When** the CTO template renders
   **Then** Career Highlights appears after Executive Summary
   **And** before Professional Experience
   **And** uses prominent styling with business-impact focus

5. **Given** board roles exist
   **When** the CTO template renders
   **Then** Board & Advisory Roles appears after Certifications
   **And** demonstrates governance and strategic advisory experience

6. **Given** the resume exceeds 2 pages
   **When** the PDF is generated
   **Then** a warning is displayed: "CTO resumes should be 2 pages maximum"
   **And** content is still rendered (user decides what to trim)

7. **Given** I run `resume build --jd file.txt --template executive`
   **When** compared to `--template cto`
   **Then** executive uses same structure but Career Highlights is optional
   **And** both share the same CSS styling
   **And** CTO template has Career Highlights as expected/prominent

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Compliance

This story implements FR53 (CTO Resume Template) based on CTO resume research (2026-01-12). The CTO template is a specialized variant of the executive template optimized for board-level positions.

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

### Project Structure Notes

- **Alignment:** Follows Jinja2 template inheritance pattern, extends executive template
- **Paths:** New templates in `templates/cto.html` and `templates/cto.css`
- **Modules:** Template registration in `services/template_provider.py`
- **Naming:** `cto` template name, CSS class prefix `.cto-` for variant-specific styles
- **Conflicts:** None detected - uses inheritance to share base styling with executive template

### CTO Template Structure

The CTO template extends executive.html and only overrides the `career_highlights` block to add CTO-specific emphasis styling. Board roles and publications are inherited directly from executive.html.

```html
{# src/resume_as_code/templates/cto.html - Actual Implementation #}
{% extends "executive.html" %}

{# Override career_highlights to add CTO emphasis styling #}
{% block career_highlights %}
{% if resume.career_highlights %}
<section class="career-highlights cto-emphasis">
    <h2>Career Highlights</h2>
    <ul class="highlights-list">
        {% for highlight in resume.career_highlights %}
        <li>{{ highlight }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</section>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}

{# Board roles and publications inherit from executive - no override needed #}
```

### CTO CSS Styling

CSS inheritance is handled via Python in `template_service.py` (not CSS @import). The `_css_inheritance` map ensures executive.css is loaded before cto.css:

```python
# In services/template_service.py
_css_inheritance: dict[str, str] = {
    "cto": "executive",  # CTO inherits from executive
}
```

The cto.css file contains only CTO-specific additions:

```css
/* src/resume_as_code/templates/cto.css - Actual Implementation */
/* Note: This is loaded AFTER executive.css by template_service.py */

/* CTO-specific emphasis for Career Highlights (AC #4) */
.career-highlights.cto-emphasis {
    background-color: #f8f9fa;
    padding: 0.75em 1em;
    border-left: 3px solid #2c3e50;
    margin-bottom: 1.5em;
    page-break-inside: avoid;
}

.career-highlights.cto-emphasis h2 {
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

/* Scope line styling for CTO positions (AC #3) */
section.experience .scope-line {
    font-size: 10.5pt;
    font-weight: 500;
    color: #2c3e50;
}

/* Board roles, publications, etc. are styled in executive.css */
```

### Section Order (CTO Template)

1. Header (Name 22pt, Title, Contact)
2. Executive Summary
3. Career Highlights (CTO-specific emphasis)
4. Professional Experience (with prominent scope)
5. Certifications
6. Board & Advisory Roles
7. Education (brief)
8. Publications/Speaking (optional)

## Senior Developer Review (AI)

**Review Date:** 2026-01-13
**Reviewer:** Claude Opus 4.5 (claude-opus-4-5-20251101)
**Outcome:** APPROVED (after fixes)

### Issues Found and Remediated

| # | Severity | Issue | Resolution |
|---|----------|-------|------------|
| 1 | HIGH | Missing test for CTO page count warning (AC #6) - build command warning not unit tested | Added 3 tests in `test_build_command.py::TestCTOPageCountWarning` |
| 2 | MEDIUM | Stale Dev Notes - template structure and CSS sections didn't match actual implementation | Updated to reflect actual `{% block career_highlights %}` and Python-based CSS inheritance |
| 3 | MEDIUM | Overly complex CSS selector dependent on section ordering | Simplified to `section.experience .scope-line` with comment explaining approach |
| 4 | MEDIUM | No test for publications rendering in CTO template | Added `TestCTOPublications` class verifying publications render correctly |
| 5 | LOW | Misleading comments in cto.html about "inheritance" | Clarified that board roles and publications use executive.html's default block implementations |

### Files Modified During Review

- `tests/unit/test_build_command.py` - Added 3 CTO page count warning tests
- `_bmad-output/implementation-artifacts/6-17-cto-resume-template.md` - Fixed Dev Notes sections
- `src/resume_as_code/templates/cto.css` - Simplified scope line selector
- `tests/unit/test_cto_template.py` - Added publications test (16 tests total)
- `src/resume_as_code/templates/cto.html` - Clarified block inheritance comments

### Final Validation

- Ruff: PASS
- Mypy (strict): PASS
- Pytest: All tests pass (16 CTO template tests, 3 page count warning tests)
