v5.2.1

## Highlights

- **Application Tracking is here.** Track every opportunity from saved role to offer with board, table, and insights views; search, filter, sort, tag, archive, and bulk-update applications without keeping a separate spreadsheet.

- **Application Copilot.** Link a resume and job description to score your fit, create a tailored resume copy, draft a cover letter, or draft a recruiter follow-up from the application detail panel. [893df25af](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/commit/893df25af)
- **Markdown export for resumes.** Export a resume as clean Markdown for docs, websites, AI workflows, or any place where plain text is easier to reuse than a PDF. [20c803e93](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/commit/20c803e93)
- **A cleaner export flow.** Resume and cover-letter downloads now live in a dedicated dialog, with separate PDF, DOCX, JSON, and print actions. [20c803e93](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/commit/20c803e93)
