A form does not run out of steps repeating what changed nothing

Recorded on a real SmartRecruiters form: about 40 of 150 steps went on PageUp and a screenshot, in a form that scrolls inside its own container. The model is told not to repeat an action that changed nothing, and the plugin says how that form scrolls. On the next runs SmartRecruiters and Paylocity reached the send button; nothing was sent. Also the last mentions of the per-job CV.

 - A form no longer stops to ask. The model fills every required field from what the CV says and implies, and a written field it has nothing for says to see the attached CV.
 - The checks on the model's calls are gone, for far less code: it is told not to send, and nothing holds it to that. See SECURITY.md.
 - Less to carry: your own CV goes with every form, in place of one written for each job, and there is one gateway, one key variable and one folder.
+- A form no longer runs out of steps pressing a key that scrolls nothing: the model is told not to repeat what changed nothing.
 - What goes wrong in the browser now reaches the screen as itself, a refused key included, in place of "unhandled errors in a TaskGroup". A page that says nothing yet after the send is read again when it changes, and a click that breaks is never called failed, because it may have gone.
 - Every posting is tried. A plugin helps the model where there is one, and there is no list of sites AIHawk will not touch.
 - A setting of the wrong type in `aihawk.yaml` is one plain line instead of a traceback.
