Context

The Vue SPA is the primary frontend for the cloud and demo tiers. Self-hosted users on the Streamlit path are increasingly behind on features that have only landed in the Vue layer:

Known gaps (Vue → Streamlit)

Card-stack job review UI (JobCardStack, swipe approve/reject) — Streamlit has table/button review only
Apply workspace — cover letter inline editing + PDF preview panel (Vue only)
Contacts view — email thread log per job
References view — reference tracking
Digest view — email digest/multi-listing classification
HintChip onboarding — contextual hints per view
Live toast notifications — feedback on async actions
DemoBanner — demo mode UX (lower priority for self-hosted)

Options

Deprecate Streamlit UI — Vue SPA becomes the only frontend; self-hosted users run the Vue+FastAPI stack (compose.yml already has web service)
Maintain parity — backport key features to Streamlit; higher ongoing maintenance cost
Hybrid — ship Vue SPA as the self-hosted default, keep Streamlit as a fallback for users who prefer it

Option 1 is likely the right call long-term given where active development is going. Option 3 is a lower-friction transition.

Suggested first step

Update self-hosted compose.yml to default to the Vue+FastAPI stack (api + web services)
Document the migration path for existing Streamlit self-hosters
Announce deprecation timeline for the Streamlit UI

Decision: go with option 1 — deprecate Streamlit, Vue+FastAPI becomes the only self-hosted frontend. Next steps: update compose.yml to default to api + web services, document migration path, announce deprecation timeline.

Closing — Streamlit UI is deprecated. The Vue 3 SPA is now the only frontend for all tiers. No new Streamlit work. See issue #104 reference in CLAUDE.md.
