The /convert-cover-letter command was using a placeholder syntax
[path-to-swiss-letter.tex] which caused inconsistent template discovery.
Claude Code would sometimes skip the template or fail to find it, resulting
in cover letters using Pandoc's default template instead of Swiss Norm formatting.
This fix replaces the placeholder with an explicit relative path
(../../../src/.claude/templates/swiss-letter.tex) that reliably resolves
from the typical execution location (applications/pending/[job-folder]/)
to the project root and then to the template directory.
Changes:
- Updated src/.claude/commands/convert-cover-letter.md with explicit template path
- Enhanced specification with template path resolution requirement
- Added clarification about path resolution relative to execution location
Testing:
- Verified PDF generation with Swiss letter template from application folders
- Confirmed consistent template discovery across different working directories
- Validated Swiss Norm formatting (address window positioning, KOMA-Script)
