 - [x] [#443 — Agent: drive Workday's application wizard end to end](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/443) (`BrowserCanSubmit` refused Workday, so #277's account recipe never got a run to fire in; NVIDIA JR2023533 was walked by hand on 2026-10-12. **1.68.0:** Workday is driven. The application starts at the manual flow (`…/apply/applyManually`, never the résumé autofill, whose parse explodes an "earlier roles" list into rows with no company); the way in presses Apply Manually and "Sign in with email" — the password box sits behind that choice — and the sign-in types the saved account key by key (a fill Workday sometimes never hears), presses the click_filter overlay beside the aria-hidden Sign In, waits for a complaint rather than a spinner, and loads the address again afterwards, because a sign-in from inside the flow draws "Something went wrong — please refresh". A step is read only once its controls have held still (the address and phone arrive a second after the names). Discovery and the sweep now see Workday's drop-down buttons (`aria-haspopup=listbox`, named by their label, their group, or — for a named button — the text above them), its search boxes (chips beside the input are the answer, committed with Enter), and radio groups required on their wrapper; the page header's own menus are never questions. The walk reads each step's menus so a question handed back carries its choices, ticks the terms box, attaches the résumé to the file input the packet never saw, declines a demographic drop-down Workday requires an answer to (never a guess), leaves a question the draft already answers alone, waits out the Save and Continue Workday disables while it autosaves, and hands back only starred fields when Next stays disabled. My Experience's Work Experience and Education rows are filled from the structured résumé (three jobs, every school: title, company, month/year spinbuttons, "I currently work here", description; school, Degree menu, Field of Study, years) and rows a draft already holds are completed, not duplicated. A long menu (Country) is typed at so the listbox jumps to the entry. The drafter's phone rule no longer answers "Phone Device Type" with the number. Verified live on nvidia.wd5 as a dry run: three rounds — page 2's rows and page 3's authorization pair handed back and answered — then every step to Review.)
 - [x] [#446 — Agent role cannot write board_accounts: every judging pass has died since 2026-10-10](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/446) (`agent_role.sql` granted the agent INSERT/UPDATE on its own tables but not on `board_accounts`, which it writes when it takes a Sign in now, keeps a renewed session, or saves an account #277 just made; `RenewSessionsAsync` runs before the judging pass, so once greenhouse.io's session came due the pass died on every tick and the Ready reconciler, the verdicts and portal renewal all stopped — the last `agent_events` row was 2026-10-09. **1.68.1:** the grant is re-applied on boot, and `DbRoleTests` proves the three writes and that a delete is still refused.)
 - [x] [#448 — Account creator glances for Workday's Apply instead of waiting: finastra.wd3 gets "no Create Account form after Apply"](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/448) (the first Workday run after #446, finastra.wd3 on 2026-10-13: `RegisterWorkdayAsync` pressed Apply and Apply Manually with a glance the instant the posting's HTML landed, and Workday draws Apply only once its script has run — ~8 s there — so nothing was pressed and no form came; step 1 of the flow is fetched after the flow page is drawn too, blank for ~7 s. **1.68.2:** each step of the way in is waited for — Apply, Apply Manually, then whichever of Create Account, Sign In or "Sign in with email" the tenant shows, with 30 s for the lazy step — and the fixture draws Apply and the form late so a glance fails the test.)
+- [x] [#450 — Workday tenants that open step 1 on Create Account: the saved password is typed into Create Account and the sign-in is judged refused (finastra.wd3)](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/450) (after #448 the creator made, proved and saved a finastra.wd3 account, and the re-run was "refused": Finastra's step 1 opens on Create Account — the same email and password boxes as Sign In plus Verify New Password and a "Sign In" link — so the saved account was typed into Create Account and the link pressed as the sign-in button, flipping the form empty. **1.68.3:** the way in waits up to 30 s for whatever step 1 shows, turns a Create Account over to Sign In through its link before any typing, and the same guard runs where the walk's own sign-ins start; a fixture variant that opens on Create Account, drawn late, signs in through the link and reaches Review.)
 - [x] [#417 — Agent: a résumé dropzone whose wrapping label is only "Click or drag & drop PDF" is never recognised as the résumé (Ethos) — fixed in 1.67.0: dropzone text never names a file field; its row's title does](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/417)
 - [x] [#418 — Agent: an application form folded behind "Easy Apply" is never revealed (N-iX) — fixed in 1.67.0: "Easy/Quick/One-click Apply" open the form (N-iX itself then ends at a reCAPTCHA v2 handoff)](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/418)
 - [x] [#419 — Agent: a footer newsletter signup (mc4wp) is discovered as an application question (Tecbrains) — fixed in 1.67.0: newsletter forms are page widgets](https://github.com/CryptoJones/OSApplyTrack/issues/419)
