# Pegel — curated company allowlist.
#
# Schema: src/lib/data/companies.ts (CompanySchema, CompaniesFileSchema).
# Validation: tests/unit/companies.test.ts (runs in CI).
# Source pool: data/_research/company-list.yaml (verified entries with include: yes).
#
# Defensibility: every founded_year and short_description here is drawn from
# the research notes or widely-reported public facts. Where a field is not
# defensibly known (logo_path, twitter, linkedin), it stays null. No invented data.
#
# Updated: 2026-09-23. Added 71 companies with live Berlin roles found via
# databerlin.net, Berlin Startup Jobs and the DACH early-career list, and moved
# YGO Trips to its Ashby board. Future-market notes for these and the 0-Berlin
# candidates: data/_research/market-candidates-2026-09-23.yaml. Verify every future handle with
# `pnpm tsx scripts/poll-one.ts <slug> --summary` before adding.
#
# Inclusion policy:
#   - Berlin-HQ startups: include with any open-jobs status (zero is ok).
#   - Foreign-HQ startups: include only if the public ATS feed currently shows
#     at least one Berlin role, or the company has a confirmed Berlin office.
#   - Schema-excluded only: companies whose ATS provider has no adapter in
#     src/lib/ats/adapters (e.g. BambooHR, in-house custom boards) and shutdown
#     / fully absorbed acquisitions — those can't be polled even in principle.
#
# Excluded as of 2026-05-17:
#   - HelloBetter (custom in-house board),
#     Wefox (no active careers page; exited German market 2025),
#     Element Insurance (in BaFin insolvency proceedings 2025),
#     Razor Group (Webflow page renders "No items found"; 30%+ layoffs 2023-24).
#
# Recheck before adding:
#   - Mambu's former iCIMS sitemap now serves ordinary careers HTML.
#   - Klarna's former Deel endpoint returns 404.
#
# Note: Babbel, Choco and Billie were previously commented as "custom ATS"; live
# probing 2026-05-17 confirms they expose Ashby boards (ashby/babbel, ashby/choco,
# ashby/billie), so they are included.
#
# Native teamtailor adapter (no longer RSS): Tibber, Monta. Voi Technology stays
# on the rss adapter — careers.voi.com/jobs.rss isn't a Teamtailor feed.
