Subject: [PATCH] googlejobs: traverse <template> content to find apply URLs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Apply links (Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, etc.) are pre-rendered inside
a <template> tag within each card's share_el. <template> content is
inert in the rendered DOM — a regular querySelectorAll from outside
returns nothing, which is why the previous fix produced empty URLs.

Iterate share_el's <template> elements and search their .content for
links matching utm_campaign=google_jobs_apply. Verified on the live
Google Jobs page that each card's template contains the correct
external apply URL.
