- 3_Resume_Editor.py: replace "Alex's" in docstring and caption - user_profile.py: expose mission_preferences and candidate_accessibility_focus - user.yaml.example: add mission_preferences section + candidate_accessibility_focus flag - generate_cover_letter.py: build _MISSION_NOTES from user profile instead of hardcoded personal passion notes; falls back to generic defaults when not set - company_research.py: gate "Inclusion & Accessibility" section behind candidate_accessibility_focus flag; section count adjusts (7 or 8) accordingly
