-ScorerAgent: Keyword-aware answer scoring — implements Agenda Item #4.
-
-The core innovation over Phase 1:
-  1. LOCAL keyword hit check (instant, deterministic, no LLM call needed)
-     - Checks which expected job keywords appear in the candidate's answer
-     - Computes coverage_pct = hits / total_keywords * 100
-  2. LLM scoring prompt is dynamically AUGMENTED with:
-     - The keyword coverage result
-     - An explicit cap instruction if coverage < 40%
-     - A list of missed keywords to guide the Weakness/Fix feedback
-  3. Returns a structured dict with raw feedback AND parsed fields
-     for the UI to render keyword coverage badges.
-
-Scoring rubric enforced by prompt:
-  - STAR format structure (encouraged, not hard-gated)
-  - Keyword coverage (hard gate: <40% → score capped at 5/10)
-  - Relevance check (irrelevant responses → NIL/10)
+ScorerAgent: Semantic, context-aware answer scoring — implements Agenda Item #4.
+Upgraded to leverage Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct for advanced conceptual grading.
