 В админке доступны:
 
-- `Dashboard`: общая статистика, последний добавленный сотрудник, прогресс текущего/последнего парсинга и ручной запуск.
-- `Directory`: настраиваемая таблица сотрудников с фильтрами, сортировкой, пагинацией и выбором колонок.
-- `Runs`: история запусков, ошибки и progress bar.
+- «Обзор»: статистика, последний добавленный сотрудник, прогресс парсинга и ручной запуск.
+- «Сотрудники»: поиск, фильтры, сортировка, пагинация и выбор колонок. По умолчанию показаны ФИО, статус, должности, дата последнего обнаружения и внешний профиль. В диалоге колонок доступны наборы «Проверка», «Контакты» и «Все поля»; ранее сохранённый выбор сохраняется.
+- «Запуски»: история обходов, ошибки и доступный индикатор прогресса.
+
+Все фильтры применяются кнопкой «Применить фильтры» с переходом на первую страницу. «Сбросить» очищает условия; при устаревшем номере страницы каталог возвращает первую. Подписи полей показывают выбранные условия, над таблицей указан диапазон результатов. Пояснения дат и статусов находятся под фильтрами.
+
+Каталог поддерживает навигацию с клавиатуры и системный диалог колонок с Escape и возвратом фокуса. На узких экранах таблица прокручивается внутри страницы, колонка ФИО закреплена. Используется системный шрифт без внешних загрузок.
+
+Каталог формируется сервером: отдельная клиентская загрузка списка не нужна, переход показывает браузер. Пустой результат предлагает сбросить фильтры, пустая база — запустить парсинг. При ошибке базы каталог возвращает HTTP 503 и предлагает повторить загрузку с теми же фильтрами. При обновлении прогресса показывается состояние загрузки; при ошибке сохраняются последние значения с предупреждением об их актуальности и кнопкой «Повторить». Автоматические попытки продолжаются каждые 4 секунды, запрос ограничен 15 секундами; параллельные запросы не запускаются.

Уникальность поддерживается по `(employee_id, publication_id)` и `(employee_id, source_hash)`, поэтому повторный crawl не должен создавать дубликаты.

+## Проверки
+
+После установки зависимостей из `requirements.txt` выполните:
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest -q
+node --check app/static/admin.js
+```
+
+Тесты с данными используют временную SQLite; отдельные API smoke-тесты запускают приложение с его текущей конфигурацией. Браузерная проверка: `pip install playwright`, `python -m playwright install chromium`, затем `python tests/browser_admin.py`. Она проверяет реальный рендеринг страниц, клавиатуру, диалог, фильтры и восстановление прогресса после ошибки. Скриншоты сохраняются во временную папку; путь выводится в конце.
