jobbasel.ch's search route (/job/suche-{slug}) is server-rendered with
a window.__PRELOADED_STATE__ JSON blob, no headless browser needed.
englishjobsearch.ch works the same way via its ?format=markdown param.
Both swept with the same fixed keyword list job-room.ch already uses.
basel-jobs.ch was evaluated too but left out: it's DataDome-protected,
which blocks plain curl outright, and this project's fetchers are
intentionally browser-free.
While wiring these in, found that isEnglishDescription (now
isViableDescription) only ever ran the DE/FR word-count check against
inline descriptions, never requiresGerman() - so an English-written
posting demanding fluent German (e.g. PRODYNA's "you can communicate
fluently in both German and English") sailed straight through. That
gap existed in itjobs.ch and job-room.ch too, not just the two new
sources, so the fix applies to all four.
