 ### Job search profiles and local resume
 
 - **Search profiles** store target roles, deal-breakers, locations, and scoring context. Use the profile picker in Settings to create, switch, or activate a profile.
-- When **Basic Auth** is enabled, each login user maps to profiles whose `basicAuthUser` field lists that username. Comma-separated aliases are supported (for example `ilia,dobkin` accepts either login name).
+- When **Basic Auth** is enabled, each login user maps to profiles whose `basicAuthUser` field lists that username. Comma-separated aliases are supported (for example `demo,demo-user` accepts either login name).
 - Jobs are scoped per profile (`owner_profile_id`). Pipeline runs and the orchestrator board only show jobs for the profile tied to your current login.
-- **Local resume** JSON paths can be set per profile via `resumeLocalPath` in profile data (for example `../data/resumes/ilia-dobkin.json`). JobOps resolves that path relative to the orchestrator working directory when `JOBOPS_LOCAL_RESUME_PATH` is unset.
+- **Local resume** JSON paths can be set per profile via `resumeLocalPath` in profile data (for example `../data/resumes/demo-user.json`). JobOps resolves that path relative to the orchestrator working directory when `JOBOPS_LOCAL_RESUME_PATH` is unset.
 - Activating a profile on Settings calls `POST /api/profiles/:id/activate` and updates `activeProfileId`, `jobSearchProfile`, and `localResumeProfilePath` when Basic Auth is off.
