career-ops-v1.34.0

<!-- co:release-notes:career-ops-v1.34.0 -->
This is the first release since I started working on career-ops full time. The update prompt now shows up only when a new version is actually out. Until now, almost any change landing on `main` could trigger it, often every day. This release also carries work from 63 people, 43 of them contributing for the first time.

### Highlights

- **Update prompts only for new versions.** `update-system.mjs` installs the latest published release instead of `main`, `check` asks only when a newer release exists, and saying no lasts until the next version instead of forever. Tracking `main` stays available with `--channel main`. Built on @obielin's release resolution in #3845.
- **Fewer live offers marked as closed.** Liveness now checks company pages with a Greenhouse `gh_jid`, SmartRecruiters, Arbeitsagentur and We Work Remotely through their public APIs (#4444), and a careers page that loads its ATS in an iframe is no longer read as a dead posting (#4439), both by @luochen211.
- **Sharper scans.** Domain-level detection of aggregator reposts by @vaishaldsouza (#4263), an opt-in strict location filter that fails closed on empty locations by @Zoubeir23 (#4033), blacklist rows that can cover a whole domain (#4169), and a warning when a portal returns zero jobs without a single successful response (#4441), both by @luochen211.
- **New sources.** A Python.org Jobs provider by @lasithadilshan (#4173), a generalist-world board provider by @ConnorCloze (#4100) and an explicit Personio tenant pin by @duathron (#4001), all three first contributions.

### Updating

Your agent offers this update at the start of your next session. If you declined an update prompt before, run this once to pick it up:

```bash
node update-system.mjs apply --confirm
```

New installs: `npx @santifer/career-ops init`.

### Thank you
