- Extracted common `$t` template handling into a single `_applyTemplate` helper. - Replaced duplicated `_applyTemplateToDescriptions` implementations with a unified call. - Updated job resolution to use the new helper for both full and description‑only templates. - Minor cleanup of variable names and comments. This refactor improves maintainability and reduces code duplication while preserving existing behavior.
