* Run the end-to-end suite on pull requests into milestone and wip branches

A release's work is now collected on a milestone branch (milestone/v0.4.0)
before it reaches main, and the suite only ran on pull requests into main,
so nothing proposed for the milestone was tested. `milestone/**` joins
`main`, and `wip/**` comes along from wip/28, where it already runs the
suite on the phases of #28 — the same block on both, so they merge
without a conflict.

* linked-issue: read the description of a pull request into a milestone branch (#254)

GitHub links an issue from "Closes #N" only in a pull request into the
default branch. Into milestone/v0.3.8 or a wip/ branch the closing
references stay empty, so the check failed on every such pull request
however its description named the issue (#252 was the first). For a pull
request into another branch, the description is now read for the same
keywords GitHub accepts.

* The release pull request is the suite run behind a tag (#252)

Releasing asked for the E2E workflow to be started by hand on main before
a tag. Since main became protected, the Release vX.Y.Z pull request cannot
merge until that workflow is green on it, and its commit is what is tagged,
so a manual run only ran the same jobs twice. Releasing now says so, and to
update the branch if main moved after its checks ran, since the protection
does not ask for up-to-date branches.

The paragraph in CONTRIBUTING and the header of e2e.yml that said main is
not verified commit by commit describe main before it was protected; both
now describe it as it is.

Closes #251

* Calendar on a phone: a readable month, a toolbar and top bar that fit, a live now line (#256)

The month chip is its title first, on up to two lines, then its time range
and place; a narrower day drops the end and the place for a third line of
title, long words are hyphenated, and an unanswered invitation has a
dashed bar. Below 39rem, where a day is bars, the grid shrinks and the
chosen day is listed in full under it: today at first, any tapped day
after, with a + for that day that the toolbar's + follows too. On a wider
touch screen the first tap opens a day's card and the second its entry
(calendar--month-tap, and a day-open: variant that the hover and the tap
share).

The calendar toolbar fits below 37rem with icons, a short date label and
smaller buttons, and under 22rem today's date in a box for Today. English
writes a same-month week as "Oct 20-26" (range_short_month). The top bar
tightens below 640px and moves Sync now, What's new and Send feedback into
the user menu. Dialogs are the whole screen below 768px, as compose is.

calendar--now moves the now line every minute on the view's clock and
redraws a view that shows the old day or the new one when the date
changes, which also moves the month's circle on today.

And a + on a day that has gone opened the editor on today:
DefaultEventStart::onDay pulled any past day to the next hour. A past day
now keeps its date.

* Close an issue when its pull request is merged into a milestone branch (#260)

GitHub acts on "Closes #N" only for merges into the default branch, so
issues fixed on a milestone branch stayed open until the release reached
main. A workflow on merged pull requests into milestone/** now closes the
issues the description names, with a comment linking the pull request.

* Preview the reply, not the quote, and send replies with their quote visible (#258)

The list preview flattened the whole body and skipped short blocks to find
the first long one, so a one-line reply previewed as its attribution line or
the quoted mail. The quoted history (same seam as the reading view's "···")
and a "-- " signature are cut off first now, in HTML and plain text, and the
chrome skip only applies to bulk mail. The JMAP preview uses the same code.

The composer folded the quote with an inline display: none and its clean-up
removed only the toggle, so replies went out with an invisible quote. The
fold is removed in the editor and again on the server, and the reading view
reveals a folded quote in mail already received.

Closes #257

* Move a thread's unread count when JMAP marks a message read or unread (#267)

EmailPatchApplier wrote seenAt for $seen and left MessageThread::$unreadCount alone, so the web list (which draws bold from that counter) disagreed with the phone app. $seen now goes through ThreadStatusUpdater::markRead(), the web UI's own path, and markRead() counts the whole thread rather than the messages passed in.

* Leave a message that is already in the destination folder where it is (#270)

Trashing a conversation with a message already in the bin queued that message as a move from Trash into Trash. webklex's move() then left the connection in EXAMINE and the server refused it ("NO Not permitted in EXAMINE state"), and the row had already lost its UID. ApplyImapFlagsHandler no longer sends a move into the folder a message is in (and gives the row its UID back), and ThreadStatusUpdater's trash(), archive() and restore() leave such messages out of the move.

* Hide a conversation from the lists only when all of it is in the bin (#272)

A thread's labels are the union of its messages', so one deleted message put Trash on the thread and took the whole conversation out of the Inbox, its tab, label lists, All Mail, Unread, the badges and search, along with any reply threaded into it afterwards. The bin rule is now "carries Trash and has no message outside it", written once (binnedThreads()) for every list and badge and spelled out the same way in the search SQL. Option (b) of the issue.

Closes #268

* Let a long message scroll in the expanded compose window (#273)

expandedValueChanged() used closest('div') to reach the editor's wrapper, but closest() starts at the element itself and the editor is a div, so the wrapper never became a flex container and the editor stayed 170px tall, clipped by [contain:paint]. The wrapper is now the flex column and the editor grows (1 0 auto) to fill the window or its content; the plain-text field fills the expanded window too.

Closes #262

* Write each changelog entry as a file of its own, collected at release (#275)

Every pull request added its paragraph under ## Unreleased in CHANGELOG.md at the same place, so the second of any two conflicted with the first once it merged, and each conflict fix re-ran the whole E2E suite. A pull request now adds changelog.d/<issue>-<words>.md; bin/changelog-release.sh, run in the Release vX.Y.Z pull request, collects the fragments (highlights first) and anything still under ## Unreleased into the release's section and deletes them. CHANGELOG.md stays the one file What's new, bin/release-notes.sh and GitHub read.

* Say which step failed when notifications can't be turned on (#278)

Every failure in the enable path (registering the service worker, the
browser's push subscription, the server's answer) ended in the same
"Something went wrong" and the exception was dropped, so a report from a
Pixel 8 could not say which. The pane now names the step and the
DOMException name or HTTP status, and logs the exception to the console.

* Contacts: one address book, with Google, Outlook, Nextcloud and CardDAV contacts in it (#282)

A contacts page and pane for plMail's own contacts and the ones on a server:
Google and Outlook on the mail account's own sign-in, Nextcloud through the
Nextcloud connection, any CardDAV server through Settings -> Contacts. Every
field a phone keeps, the photo included, syncs both ways. Duplicates merge
with 90 days to undo; vCard and CSV import and export; contacts suggested
while composing; JMAP Contact/get, /query and /set. Nextcloud calendars come
with the Nextcloud connection too.

Replaces #237 and #109 by @jo2904 and #244 by @DanversKara.

* Install APCu and Xdebug with PIE instead of from PECL (#286)

PECL is deprecated in favour of PIE and was down for most of an evening on 2026-10-21, failing every image build. PIE 1.5.2 now installs APCu (and Xdebug in the dev image) from the extensions' own releases; it is mounted for that one step and not left in the image. Nothing changes at runtime.

* Keep contact photos where the web container can serve them (#287)

Contact photos were stored in var/contacts, outside the volumes the web and worker containers share, so synced photos answered 404. They now live under APP_STORAGE_DIR/uploads/contacts; a migration clears the lost paths and has synced books read again so the photos come back.

* Match a contact's email addresses in any case (#288)

Addresses are stored lower-cased but were matched as the provider spelled them, so a pull removed and re-inserted the same address and broke the unique key (prod sync failure). They are now matched in their stored form.

* Open a contact's reference email in the mail pane (#294)

A click on one of a contact's reference emails in the docked contacts
pane was a Turbo visit inside the contacts frame, which blanked the mail
pane. The click is now offered to the mail pane as a mail-pane:open
event; the pane opens the message beside the contact. Without a mail
pane (the full contacts page) it stays an ordinary visit.

Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Open mail beside the full Contacts page without a reload (#297)

The full Contacts page was a page of its own, so a reference email
clicked there was a visit: the contact was gone, and on a notebook the
mailbox came back on the calendar it remembered.

The full page is now the mailbox with data-contacts-full on the shell:
the mail column put away and the contacts dock given the row, with the
page's own content in the dock's frame. Opening a message from it loads
the message into the existing mail pane, then contacts--pane#reveal
drops the state in a view transition: the mail slides in from the left
and the dock narrows to its width, the same DOM throughout. On a
notebook the calendar gives way; on a wide screen it stays.

The reference links lose data-turbo-frame="_top", which made ui--split
stash a calendar position for a visit that never came.

* Preview image and video attachments on click, like PDFs (#295) (#298)

Clicking an image or video attachment chip opens a viewer in the modal
instead of downloading. Previewable chips (PDF included) get a download
half on the right. Images load from the existing attachment route; videos
from a new /mail/attachment/{id}/video route that serves a fixed video
type inline under the sandbox CSP and answers Range requests.

Closes #295

* Erase a message's parts with it, and delete mail one way (#300)

MessageEraser loaded a message's parts to delete their files, then removed
only the message. After the delete Doctrine forgot the message but kept the
parts managed, so the next flush in the same unit of work failed with "a new
entity was found through the relationship MessagePart#message". Every sync
that removed server-deleted mail with an attachment failed that way.

The eraser now removes the parts, removes a thread it empties (announced to
JMAP as destroyed), and logs file-delete failures instead of keeping the row.
MessagePurger hands its local delete to the eraser, so "delete forever" gains
the thread-label re-sync it lacked. ImapAccountSyncer clears an entity manager
a failed folder left open, so one folder's refused flush no longer fails the
rest.

Closes #299

* Rework the contact editor: quick add, paste details and Improve with AI (#305) (#306)

New contacts start in quick add: paste a name, signature, address line or
vCard and the details it finds are listed, each with a one-click type. The
editor shows the name as one field whose parts fill themselves (titles and
degrees included), rows that appear as you type, Paste details for existing
contacts and a Save to picker. Contact help is a new AI feature, off by
default, that rereads pasted text and suggests updates from the signature
of a contact's newest mail. Phones are read with libphonenumber.

* Keep spam off the radar and out of search; add a Not spam button (#308)

Cards read out of mail in Spam are left off the Happening Soon panel and
the mailbox strip (read-time filter, so moving the mail out brings them
back), and a spam conversation no longer shows its cards above the
message. The bin keeps its cards. Search and the type-ahead leave Spam
out unless asked with in:spam, as they already did for the bin. A spam
conversation's toolbar gets a Not spam button that moves it to the inbox.

* Show the pictures a review request hid, dropped or never asked for (#274)

* Show the pictures a review request hid, dropped or never asked for

A BAUHAUS review request, sent through Bazaarvoice, showed neither its
logo nor its product photos, with images allowed. The image proxy was
fine; three steps around it were not.

- The logo is linked as http://. The sanitizer keeps http sources and
  leaves them to render time, the fetcher only connects over TLS, and
  nothing in between upgraded the URL, so every http image became the
  placeholder. RemoteContentBlocker now signs the https:// form. The
  fetcher's own rules also say in the log which one refused a target;
  until now that refusal was the one silent path.
- The first product card sits inside a <form>, and dropElement('form')
  took the photo, the name and the star links with it. The form is
  unwrapped now; textarea and select still go with their content.
- Each card is class="d" style="display:none", switched on with
  .d {display:block !important}. CssToInlineStyles keeps an inline
  property whatever the rule says, so the card stayed hidden next to its
  Outlook twin. Html5CssInliner now lets a stylesheet !important beat a
  plain inline style, and matches selectors against forms as the divs
  the reader will see, so `form .a` rules take the sender's fallback
  for clients without forms.

  app:backfill safe-html-hidden-cards

re-sanitizes stored mail with a form or a stylesheet !important. One
task for both, because neither fix brings the card back alone.

* Swipe a mail row, choose what each swipe does, and long-press for its actions on a phone (#314)

On a phone, below md and by touch only: a row swipes right for read/unread and left for archive, each direction set under Settings → Mail → Swipe actions (read/unread, archive, star, nothing; never trash), and holding a row opens an action sheet with every action its strip offers. Mouse, trackpad and wider windows are unchanged.

Takes over #117, #118 and #119, whose fork was archived. Also gives the Contacts settings' two cards their gap.

* Admin → Integrations lists the calendar services, so a pinned CalDAV address can be changed later (#279)

CalDAV and Calendar feed get their own group below the file services, with the shared provider row and Configure form; Nextcloud stays with the file services. Calendar services are offered to everyone, so their rows say so and the form has no switch. The server address accepts only http or https, up to 512 characters.

Once people have connected, the CalDAV form says how many connections a changed or cleared pin reaches. A calendar feed offers its address only while one is stored, so it can be cleared.

* Offer an address book another connection already mirrors locked, not as new (#319)

Two connections to the same server, a Nextcloud one and a CardDAV one made by hand, reach the same address book under the same remote id. Settings → Contacts now offers such a book locked, saying which connection has it, and refuses a posted tick, as it does for calendars. Otherwise every contact in it showed twice.

* Gmailify: the IMAP folder places a sibling's mail, Gmail deletions detach, and a switch to turn it off (#204)

Closes #203
Closes #205

- A sibling's IMAP copy keeps the placement its folder gives it; Gmail's INBOX/SENT/DRAFT/TRASH/SPAM no longer move it (by @phdelodder).
- Gmail deleting its copy detaches the sibling's IMAP copy instead of erasing it.
- app:backfill gmailify-placement repairs copies the old merge had moved.
- Settings → Aliases: a Gmailify switch per Gmail account. Off detaches carried copies in a background job and declines mail Gmail still collects for another account (Bcc'd mail excepted, as documented).

* Store whether a conversation is in the bin, kept by triggers (#322)

Part of #223: message_thread.binned holds #268's rule, kept by triggers on message_label, thread_label and message; lists, badges and search read the column. Identical results on 41 compared queries, most 5-100x faster on a 67k-thread mailbox.

* Account sync: wait out a provider that can't be reached, quietly (#333)

When the worker couldn't connect to the Gmail or Graph API at all, the
account sync went up Messenger's retry ladder: a WARNING with three nested
stack traces per attempt, then CRITICAL and a parked job if the outage
lasted. That job resumes from a cursor and is asked for again every
quarter hour, so nothing was ever lost.

WaitOutConnectionFailures now puts a SyncAccountMessage that failed only
with an HttpClient TransportException back on its own queue, on the
ingest ladder's delays, with one info line per attempt. After five waits
it is dropped with a single warning. Message batches and every other
failure keep the normal path.

Closes #332

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 3b78d277d7 A send that fails for a passing reason is retried; one that finally fails is marked on the draft (#242)
Every sender turned every failure into `false`, so a one-minute Gmail
rate limit or a short outage lost the send like a refused recipient.

The three senders now classify through MailDeliveryInterface::deliver():
deferred (rate limits, 5xx, a connection that never opened, SMTP 4xx),
refused (other 4xx, SMTP 5xx, too large) or outcome unknown (a lost
answer, 502/504). send() stays a bool for invitations, alerts and read
receipts.

SendMessageHandler retries a deferral for at most two minutes, keeping
the provider's Retry-After. A lost answer is never resent blind: Gmail
and Graph look for the Message-ID in Sent first (now committed before
the first attempt), SMTP reports it as possibly sent. A final failure,
from the handler or from SendGaveUpSubscriber when the ladder runs out,
marks the draft, words the toast by its reason, and shows a red warning
triangle at the start of the draft's row and on Drafts in the sidebar.

Migration: four nullable columns and a partial index on message.

b453b79eb4 Single sign-on only: hide the password form and refuse password sign-ins (#210)
* Single sign-on only: hide the password form and refuse password sign-ins

Adds Admin -> SSO 'Single sign-on only' (and OIDC_DISABLE_PASSWORD_LOGIN).
The login page drops the password form and LoginFormAuthenticator refuses a
password sign-in before looking the user up. It only applies while a whole
provider is in force, the saving administrator must already be linked to the
provider, and app:sso:allow-password-login brings the form back from the
console. Config restore leaves it off. Off by default; one boolean column on
oidc_config.

* Single sign-on only: require a link to the provider being saved

The admin form let the box be ticked by an administrator linked to any
provider, including the one the page held before. Switching providers and
ticking it in one save made a provider they had never used the only way in.
It now compares the stored issuer with the one on the page, without a
trailing slash, as OidcDiscovery does.

Tests for what had none: the console command (clears the setting, keeps the
provider), a restore over a row that had it on, the link to another
provider, and a control showing the same password signs in with the setting
off. The "right credentials" test now posts the right password.

7a5a7350bf A conversation no longer splits when its replies are synced first (#176)
Threading looked only from a reply to the message it answers, so replies synced before that message (INBOX before Sent Items) opened threads of their own and stayed there. MessageThreader now also looks the other way: after a message gets its thread, mail that already names its Message-ID in In-Reply-To or References is folded in by the new ThreadMerger. The older thread survives, keeping its JMAP id, summary, insights, star, snooze, labels and pinned tab. A GIN expression index makes the reverse lookup an index probe.

Review follow-up: moved mail is added to the surviving thread's collection so a label rule later in the same batch keeps its labels, plus tests for that, bracketed legacy references and provider-keyed survivors.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 994c00b5cd What's new opens after an update, with a way to send feedback (#166)
* What's new opens after an update, with a way to send feedback

The release notes from CHANGELOG.md, read from the image, in a dialog that
opens by itself the first time somebody uses plMail after an update and
never on a fresh install. A ? in the top bar opens it again, with a dot
while something is unseen; "Don't show this after updates" silences it,
and Settings -> General -> What's new undoes that. Highlights are marked
in the changelog with an HTML comment and may carry a screenshot taken by
tests/e2e/whats-new-screenshots.spec.ts.

Send feedback is a mail from one of the person's own accounts to
APP_FEEDBACK_TO (feedback@pluetzner.de by default), with an optional
rating and a screenshot of the page behind the dialog.

Existing users are recorded as having seen 0.3.1 by a migration; anyone
created later starts on the release running at their first request.

Closes #165.

* Plain changelog headlines from 0.3.2 on, and highlights with screenshots

Every bold headline users see under "New to you" now says what changed in
a few words. Each release gets a handful of highlights, eight of them
with a picture cropped to the card or pane they are about, taken by
tests/e2e/whats-new-screenshots.spec.ts.

Relative links in the notes keep their words and lose the target, and
the parsed changelog's cache key carries a format version so a new
image never serves the previous one's parse.

* Keep highlight pictures for ten releases, and none that nothing names

Every file in public/whats-new ships in every image. ChangelogReaderTest
now fails on a picture no highlight names, and on one whose release is
more than ten back; the release pull request that crosses the line
deletes it and leaves the entry a highlight without a picture.

b940bd3a31 The installed app says New mail only when mail arrived (#162)
The in-app Web Push device is now told only when mail lands in the Inbox of a mailbox that has finished importing, and Outlook stops recording folder moves for messages that did not move. JMAP clients and FCM phones keep every StateChange. Migration: jmap_push_subscription.arrivals_only, set once for in-app devices.

Takes over #112.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 3c0769c1e6 Order every inbox tab, and let a built-in one be switched off
One order across the built-in tabs and the reader's own, and a set of
built-ins switched off, both beside the other sorting choices on the
user (CategorySorting). The order replaces the categories' own position
column, which never shipped: the strip is one list, so its order is too.
Primary is always first and cannot be switched off — it is where the
rest falls back to.

A switched-off category takes no mail. Whatever would have gone there —
by the header rules, Google's label or the assistant — is in Primary,
and the message panel says it would have been that category. The
answer is mapped rather than the next rule consulted: "Forums is off"
does not make a mailing list Promotions for its List-Unsubscribe.

Until the re-sort a switch queues has run, and for a conversation
somebody pinned there, Primary lists and counts the switched-off
category's conversations too, so nothing is in no tab at all.

InboxTabs is where order and on/off are applied, so the strip, the drop
targets and every key that resolves agree. A restore rewrites the
order's own-tab keys to the categories' new ids.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 e5420327ea Bring own inbox tabs up to date with main
- The migration is dated after the ones main has run since, under a name
  no open branch uses (#109 and #112 hold the earlier slots today).
- The inbox's query ceiling is one above the shared one again: main
  raised that to 28 for the sidebar's change counter, and the own-tabs
  read is still the one statement the inbox adds on top.
- French for the new strings.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 72d3956b0d Keep every Gmail message in the mailbox it is in, Spam and Trash included
`app:gmail:skipped` on a real mailbox (#90) showed what the ownership
filter was dropping: the account owner's own mail.

  202  sent from "send mail as" addresses (From: pl@pmdevelopment.de)
   89  forwarded in from an address not connected here
   43  Gmail drafts
   14  received, with no recipient header naming anyone
    4  addressed to the googlemail.com spelling of the account
    6  chats

resolveOwningAccount() kept a message only when its headers named the
account. It now keeps one for the account unless another connected
account has the better claim (a Gmailify sibling named in its headers):

  SENT or DRAFT   the sibling the From names, else this account
  received        resolveReceivedAccount()'s answer, else this account;
                  with Gmailify attribution switched off, still only mail
                  addressed to this account
  CHAT            nobody, and recorded as before

GmailAddressFilter reads googlemail.com as gmail.com.

The listing never asked for Spam and Trash although its comment said
it did: messages.list leaves both out without includeSpamTrash, and
getProfile's messagesTotal, the import's total, counts them. How much
of the 11,200 that mailbox was short of this accounts for is not known
yet: its import was still running when it was counted.

A finished import does not list again, so the migration clears the
record of declined messages (chats aside) and every Gmail account's
backfill markers. Each lists its mailbox once more, fetching only what
it does not hold.

09c503c61c Sign in through an OpenID Connect provider (Authentik, Keycloak…) (#106)
plMail could only sign people in with a local password. On an install that
already runs Authentik or Keycloak, that is one more account and password
per person, outside the provider's access policy.

A second authenticator on the `main` firewall, beside the password form.
Both end in the same token for the same User, so the user checker, the login
throttle and TOTP two-factor apply unchanged. Authorization code flow with
PKCE, state and nonce on league/oauth2-client's GenericProvider; endpoints
come from the provider's discovery document.

- Set up under a new Admin → SSO tab; the OIDC_* variables are the fallback
  for an install configured from its compose file, and a saved provider wins
  whole. This lets an administrator who points it at a provider of their own
  sign in as any account without a second factor; the security model says so.
- The ID token's signature is not verified: it only ever comes from the
  token endpoint over TLS (OIDC Core § 3.1.3.7 step 6). So the issuer and
  endpoints must be https and no request to the provider follows a redirect.
  Accepting an ID token from anywhere else needs JWKS verification first.
- An account is linked by (issuer, sub). The address is used for the first
  link only, and only when the provider reports it verified.
- Auto-creation is off by default and creates an ordinary account with no
  usable password.
- app:user:oidc-unlink forgets a link from the console, for somebody deleted
  and re-added at the provider.

Migration: two nullable columns and a unique index on `user`, and a one-row
table `oidc_config`. Nothing backfilled; reversible.

Not run: Playwright on this branch. No automated test makes a round trip
against a real provider; that was checked by hand on a local test stack.

Closes #91

4d705a56da Keep remember-me tokens on the server, so signing out holds (#104)
* Keep remember-me tokens on the server, so signing out holds

A remember-me cookie that carries only its own signature stays valid
until it expires, and signing out only asks the browser to delete it.
A request already on its way with it - the page's own background
fetches - reached the server after the sign-out and signed the person
straight back in.

The tokens are kept on the server now (Symfony's DoctrineTokenProvider,
table rememberme_token), one per device. Signing out deletes this
device's token, so a late cookie opens nothing; other devices stay
signed in. Symfony's CacheTokenVerifier keeps parallel requests that
rotate the token from looking like theft.

Existing signed cookies are no longer read: people who relied on "Keep
me signed in" sign in once more.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Say what remember-me is now, wherever it was described

Remember-me moved from a signed cookie to tokens kept on the server, and
five places still said "signature-based, not stored": the handbook's
security page, the config-backup page's account of why APP_SECRET stays
behind, and three comments beside the code that depends on it. English
and German both.

RememberMeAcrossRestoreTest proved its point against SignatureHasher,
which the firewall no longer uses. It now asserts what the property rests
on today: the firewall holds the persistent handler, and a backup taken
while a token row exists carries neither its series nor its value.

One test added for the claim the docs repeat: a changed password ends the
cookie, because the token carries a digest of the hash it was issued under.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 6f24bfabc3 Write down the Gmail messages an import declines, and stop fetching them again
An import sat at 21,964 of 24,199 and said "waiting" (#90). The 2,235
are messages the batch handler fetches and does not store: its headers
tie the message to no account here (a draft, a chat, mail sent from a
"send mail as" address), or Gmail lists it and answers 404.

Declining left a debug line and nothing else, and the import's only test
for "still to come" is "not stored". So:

  every hourly listing   named all 2,235 again, and each was fetched in
                         full again: 134,100 units of the 360,000 an
                         hour a 6,000 project has
  the import             could only end at BACKFILL_MAX_ATTEMPTS, a day
                         of listings later; the account in the report
                         was on attempt 18
  the progress line      could never reach Google's total, which counts
                         them

gmail_skipped_message records each one when it is declined: the reason,
its labels and its From, To, Cc and Delivered-To.

  newGmailIds()          treats a recorded id like a stored one, so a
                         listing with nothing else outstanding settles
                         at once
  an onlyMissing batch   queued by an earlier listing drops them too
  ImportProgress         counts them as done
  app:gmail:skipped      prints the record by kind, label and address;
                         --forget clears it so the next listing asks
                         again

A row goes when its message is stored after all.

Whether some of these messages ought to be stored is a separate
question and is not touched: the filter decides exactly as before. The
record is what that question can now be answered from.

Migration: one new, empty table.

maniandClaude Sonnet 5.5 7adccfb6f5 feat(settings): let a reader make, rename and delete their own inbox tabs
A card on Settings -> General beside the sorting card: a list of the reader's
categories with rename and delete, and a form to add one. A name is trimmed,
at most 40 characters, not a built-in tab's name and not one the reader already
has (case-insensitively); a refused name comes back as a toast saying why.

Removing a category un-files its mail through the foreign keys and clears the
pins of everything in it first, in one transaction: a foreign key cannot clear a
pin, and a conversation pinned into a category that has gone would be skipped
by every recompute for ever. A pin to a built-in tab or to another category is
left alone. The filter list shows a category chip naming its category, or
"(deleted category)". The unused colour column is dropped from the new table.

maniandClaude Sonnet 5.5 d3e0782cf7 feat(mail): add inbox categories a reader makes themselves
A new inbox_category table, and two nullable columns that file mail under
one: message.rule_category_id (a filter's verdict, kept apart from
message.category because five writers recompute that and would erase it) and
message_thread.user_category_id (the conversation's tab). Both references are
ON DELETE SET NULL, so removing a category un-files its mail in the database.

The built-in category columns, their enum mapping and everything JMAP serves
from them are untouched. Nothing is backfilled and nobody's inbox changes
until a category and a filter filing into it exist.

Walid ManiandClaude Opus 5.5 99d2da3da2 Show each inbox tab's unread count, with a setting to switch it off (#54)
The sidebar's Inbox badge could read 1 while Primary, the tab that opens, had nothing unread: the conversation was in Promotions, and the only hint on the strip was a colour on that tab's icon. Each tab now shows how many conversations in it hold unread mail. It is the Inbox badge split by category, so the tabs add up to it, and it is patched in place on sync.

This reverses the documented rule that the "3 new" pill is the only number on a tab. The badge and the bold rows say that there is unread mail and cannot say where.

On for everyone, and a per-user appearance setting switches it off, beside the account corner. One column on the user table; the migration is reversible.

88197578d5 Let search by meaning use a model host of its own
One host held both models. The two jobs often want different machines:
writing wants the largest model somebody can run or rent, and search wants
a small one that is asked constantly, for every query and once for every
message of a mailbox. Writing from a hosted endpoint with search on an
Ollama at home indexes the mailbox on a machine the operator owns and
bills nothing per message, and one host for both could not express it.

Admin → AI has a tick box that gives search its own provider, address,
token and extra headers. AiSettings::connectionFor() returns that
connection for search when the box is ticked, and nothing else had to
change, because every call already asked for the connection of its
feature. The second host is sent only its own token and headers, and none
when it has none. A feature is usable when the host it runs on is filled
in. Test asks both hosts, each for the model that lives on it.

Stored vectors stay filed under the model name alone, so moving search to
a host that serves the same model keeps the index and no stored row is
touched. Five columns on ai_settings, unused until the box is ticked; the
migration is reversible.

The idea of a separate embedding connection comes from #58. Its vector
identity, which hashed the address into every stored row, is left out: it
forced a full re-embed whenever a host changed its address.

cd7828395d Send the model host extra headers
A bearer token is not all that stands in front of a model. A reverse proxy
with basic auth, a zero-trust gateway that wants a client id and a secret,
a routing gateway with a key of its own, a provider that takes a project
by header: each of those made plMail unusable with it.

Admin → AI has an Extra headers box under the token, one `Name: value` per
line. ConnectionHeaders reads them strictly while somebody can still fix
what they typed, and forgivingly on the way to the wire, so a column that
cannot be read costs the headers and not the feature. They are stored
encrypted and ride on AiConnection, so both clients send them on every
request without knowing they exist.

The values are never shown again; the page lists the names on file. An
empty box keeps them, typing replaces them, a tick box removes them, and a
change of address or provider drops them as it drops the token. A typed
Authorization replaces the bearer. The headers the HTTP client writes
itself are refused.

Fixed values only. The idea of extra headers comes from #58; its per-task
session header is left out, because nothing plMail does needs one.

3c7a03b843 Talk to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint as well as Ollama
The language model had to be an Ollama container. Admin → AI now has a
Provider field, and the second choice is the request format OpenAI
published and nearly everything else has copied: llama.cpp, vLLM, LM
Studio, LiteLLM, the hosted providers, and Ollama itself under /v1.

OpenAiClient speaks three paths, /chat/completions, /embeddings and
/models, and answers in the value objects and error categories
OllamaClient already uses. AiAssistant reads the connection for the
feature being served and picks the client; nothing above it knows there
are two. The body carries only what the format defines, because several
servers answer 400 to a field they do not know. The stream is read a line
at a time, skips comment lines, does not require [DONE], and fails on an
error object delivered inside a 200. Redirects are never followed.

What only Ollama can be asked is not asked of the other dialect:
no keep-alive is sent, the composer is not told to expect a cold start,
Warm up refuses with its own reason, and the panel reads no /api/ps. The
page puts those controls away while the other provider is chosen and
keeps their values.

A stored token is dropped when the provider changes, as it is when the
address does. One column on ai_settings, defaulting to ollama; the
migration is reversible.

The SSE handling, the strict reading of an embedding and the rule that a
key stays with its endpoint come from #58.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 896f30eb02 Import an account's history without holding up new mail
A first sync used to be the import: every IMAP folder from its oldest
message to its newest, every Gmail message listed before one was fetched,
every Microsoft folder enumerated to its end, all in one job on the queue
new mail arrives on. A large account showed an empty Inbox for most of an
hour and every other account's mail waited behind it (#42).

The sync now only arranges for new mail to be seen. History is
MailImporter's, a page at a time on a new `ingest_backlog` queue with a
worker of its own, newest mail first and the Inbox before anything else;
Spam and the bin come last. Accounts take turns, a page that fails costs
itself, and every sync restarts an import that has gone quiet.

- IMAP walks each folder down from the top in pages of fifty.
- Gmail asks for the newest 200 of the Inbox, then pages the listing.
- Microsoft reads each folder's first delta round a page at a time; a
  folder being read is asked only what it received since. Removals that
  cannot be judged while a folder is unread are kept and judged later.
- Sync requests a later sync has already covered are skipped.
- A chip beside the search box shows that an import is running and how
  far it has got. The indicator never updated on mail pages, because its
  controller was not mounted there.

Also from #42: an account can have a separate password for sending,
behind a button under the SMTP fields. One field by default.

24d3c19b1d Choose which IMAP folders to sync (#52)
Mailbox::$isSyncEnabled already decides whether a folder is polled, held
with IDLE and counted by the remote-deletion check, but nothing let a
person change it. Settings → Accounts has a button on every IMAP
account's row that opens the account's folders, each with a switch.
Switching one off stops plMail fetching it; mail already stored stays,
and switching it back on resumes from where it stopped.

The inbox is listed with its switch disabled, and the controller refuses
it too. Gmail and Microsoft accounts sync over their provider's API and
have no folder rows, so neither route exists for them. The path carries
two ids: the account is checked for ownership, then the folder against
that account, then a per-folder CSRF token.

Review added, in the same change:

  Tree          the list is drawn as the tree the paths describe, with
                connector lines, each folder under its nearest listed
                ancestor.
  Placeholders  a \Noselect folder is greyed out with no switch to
                press. Mailbox::$isSelectable records what the server
                said; one migration adds the column.
  Dialog        a narrow modal preset and striped rows.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 71e2176fd1 Let the inbox be one list, without category tabs
Some people do not want their inbox divided. A third control on the
sorting card, Inbox tabs, switches the tabs off per person; on by
default and true on every existing row, so nothing changes by
upgrading. One column, user.category_tabs.

Off changes what is drawn and nothing about what is stored. Mail is
still filed under a category as it arrives, so switching back shows
sorted tabs at once and nothing has to be re-filed in either
direction, which is also why the control queues no ResortMailbox.
That includes the assistant: somebody who leaves it sorting into tabs
they have switched off has decided that, and the card says so when
both are true rather than preventing it.

The inbox query takes a null category for the whole inbox, through
one helper shared by the list and its count. ListViewResolver decides
from the person's setting and not from the value the page posts, so
"select all in this view" is the list the server would have drawn: an
untabbed page posts an empty value, and reading that as Primary would
have acted on part of a selection.

What only exists for tabs goes with them: the strip and its drop
targets, the per-category keys in the counts payload and the grouped
reads behind them, and the panel in message details that explains a
filing and takes "wrong tab" reports.

The JMAP session publishes the choice as inboxTabs beside the
appearance hint. Thread.category is served either way, so a client
drawing tabs from it had no other way to learn not to.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 98ea3948f4 Only let mail change the calendar when it comes from where the event came from
Reported in #34, and both findings held up: eight tests written from
the report's scenarios fail on the code as it was.

An invitation was found by its UID and then judged by SEQUENCE and
arrival time alone. Nothing asked who had sent the update, and a UID
is not a secret — everyone invited holds it, and so does anyone a
copy was forwarded to. Any of them could cancel the meeting or move
it and swap its link, and the reader's earlier "accepted" was carried
over on top. A meeting mirrored from a connected calendar was
rewritable the same way, which the report did not mention.

A booking read out of a mail's markup was keyed on the From line's
domain, which nobody had checked, and drawn at once.

One rule closes both, in EventReconciler::mayApplyUnasked(). It asks
about the sender of the MAIL, never the ORGANIZER line, which a
forger copies along with the rest of the file:

  an invitation's update   from an address the event's content has
                           already come from, or from the organiser
                           it names. "Already come from" rather than
                           "is the organiser" because a calendar
                           service sends the invitation and its
                           updates from one address of its own.
  a booking                only when the receiving server vouches
                           for the From domain.
  a From that failed       nobody, the reader's own address included.

A refused claim is held, not dropped: filed unapplied with a reason,
shown on the message's card, and applied when the reader says so.
The rule is a judgment about a sender and the reader may know better.

SenderAuthentication reads the Authentication-Results header and
checks nothing itself; its job is deciding whose header to believe,
since a sender can write one too. mx.google.com for Gmail, the single
nameless header for Microsoft, and for IMAP a server on the same
registrable domain as the account's IMAP host — learning the name
from the mailbox or asking for it in a setting were both considered
and turned down in the issue.

Mail in Spam or the bin is no longer read for events at all, and a
message taken back out is read then.

What it does not catch: on an account whose server reports nothing, a
forged From is indistinguishable from the real sender, and holding
every such update would hold every update a self-hosted mailbox
receives. There the address is taken at its word. The handbook says
so.

Two things turned up on the way. A copy of a meeting on a second
calendar has no source links of its own, so the first version of the
rule held every update on the copy while its sibling took it —
caught by SharedEventUpdateTest, and the senders are now asked across
every copy under the UID. And there is no HTTP-level test of the new
"apply" action; its logic is covered through the reconciler.

One new nullable column, event_source_link.hold_reason. Nothing
already on a calendar changes.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 09600802db Let a message be written once and inserted as a template
Settings → Templates is a new section: a tree on the left, one editor
beside it. The tree opens with one folder per mail account, and those
are not stored — an account folder is the account, drawn as a folder,
so the mirror cannot drift. Folders the user makes go inside an
account, inside one another or beside the accounts. Removing an
account or a folder keeps the templates in it and moves them up.

A template holds variables: the recipient's first name, name and
address, the sender's name and address, a signature, and dates with an
offset and a format of their own. They are stored as text tokens in
the body, because the body goes through the inbound-mail sanitiser and
a marked element would not survive it; the editor draws them as chips
and turns them back before it posts.

The compose window gets a button beside the signature one. Dates,
sender and signature are filled in by the server when a template is
inserted. The recipient is not: a template is usually picked before
anyone is addressed, so recipient variables arrive as markers and the
window fills them when To has somebody in it, and asks before sending
with one still open. A template's signature replaces the window's
rather than joining it, and one the template names is pinned so a
change of From leaves it alone.

One bug fell out of running it in a browser. Chromium will not put a
caret between a non-editable element and the edge of its block, so a
template ending in a variable could not be given its full stop — the
keystrokes were dropped. The editor keeps a zero-width space beside
each chip and strips them before saving.

Two new tables, mail_template and template_folder. Web only so far:
nothing is published over JMAP yet.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 ec938bca99 Count the sessions a public demo hands out, without keeping an address
Admin → Demo visitors, in demo mode only: sessions started in the last
hour, 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, the different visitors behind them,
the total and how many have a mailbox now. The users cannot be counted
because the reaper deletes them, so /demo writes a row of its own.

That row holds a keyed hash of the address with its last part cut off
(a /24 or a /48), never the address, and the reaper removes the hash
after 30 days. The demo's privacy notice describes it.

Outside demo mode the section is not in the nav, its route answers 404
and nothing is recorded; the table exists and stays empty.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 3a6f4db0f1 Measure mail arrival from when the provider accepted it, and show the slowest
Admin → Performance measured "how late mail arrives" from the date a message
carries, which is the sender's clock. A newsletter dated half an hour before
it was sent, or mail held back by greylisting, was reported as plMail being
that late.

The delay is now taken from the newest Received: header. Each message is
stamped as it is first stored with when the provider accepted it, what
started the sync that fetched it (push, IDLE, schedule, sync button) and
where it was filed. Inbox mail and the rest are counted apart, since
providers only announce the inbox, and the slowest messages of the period
are listed in a section that starts collapsed.

An upgrade task gives the last week of mail its accept time from the stored
headers. What fetched older mail cannot be recovered and shows as a dash.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 2dfc9b3b9b Give the admin panel a page for how long things take
The line under the hold switch in Admin → AI said "typically 6 s, 95%
within 13 s": enough to see that one message took twice as long as the
rest, and nothing about why. System says whether plMail is working;
nothing said how long anything took.

Admin → Performance, directly below System:

  How late mail arrives     per account, provider-received to stored.
                            Seconds is push working; minutes is the
                            quarter-hourly poll, which "works" and so
                            showed up nowhere. Imports and plMail's own
                            sent copies are not arrivals.
  What each worker has      the queue numbers by the process that owns
  waiting                   them, a worker's queues in the order it
                            looks at them. Live; the transport keeps no
                            history.
  New mail waiting for      one row per held message, its wait split
  the assistant             three ways: queued, the model call, and how
                            much of the call was the model loading.
  Model host                moved from Admin → AI, unchanged.

To split a wait, the three parts have to be recorded with the message:
ai_queue_ms, ai_call_ms, ai_load_ms. ai_call_metric has the same
numbers and no idea which message they were for, and its timestamps are
the database's clock where the message's are PHP's, so a join by time
is not one to rely on. AiAssistant::ask() returns the whole result for
that; chat() is ask()?->content.

The model host's card and the search index backfill were one fragment
polled by one endpoint. They are about different things — a measurement
and a job with Start and Pause on it — so the fragment renders either
half, each page names the one it wants, and a caller that names neither
gets both, as before.

BackgroundProcesses::consumers() is the worker-to-queue map, read by
all() to start the processes and by this page to label them. They were
two facts that had to agree.

Rows name accounts. Nothing about any mail's content is shown.

Not looked at in a browser; the E2E card-inset spec covers the section
and has been given its frame.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 88b1744385 Leave the ingest worker to fetch mail, and nothing else
Adding an account put new mail behind hours of follow-up work. What
plMail does to a message once it has it — a model call where the
assistant sorts, event extraction, insight cards, receipts — was queued
on `ingest`, beside the syncs, for every message of the import, oldest
first. One consumer serves that queue. 988 envelopes pending and the
oldest an hour old was a mailbox being asked about newsletters from
2019 while mail on the server waited to be fetched.

`ingest` is now what talks to a mail provider. The rest moved:

  enrich_live     worker-live      follow-up work for mail that has just
                                   arrived on an account whose import is
                                   over; never behind an import
  enrich          worker-enrich    the same for an import's recent mail,
                                   and search indexing
  enrich_backlog  worker-enrich    old mail for the assistant, consumed
                                   only when `enrich` is empty
  release         worker-release   ends a hold (below); nothing else

Which queue is decided per batch, not per message class: the pipeline
asks InitialImportState once, carries the answer on PostIngestResult,
and EnrichmentRouter turns it into a stamp.

Only mail from the last 30 days (ENRICH_RECENT_DAYS) gets follow-up
work on arrival. Older mail is stored, threaded and filed by the rules.
The assistant is asked about it afterwards — newest first, a bounded
handful per run, and not until every account of that person has
finished importing (app:ai:classify-backlog, ClassificationCatchUp).
For the other steps `app:backfill` remains the way to read history.

ExtractInsightsStep and ProposeEventsStep ran their work inside the
sync and argued for it; both dispatch now.

New mail no longer appears in one tab and moves to another. For
somebody sorting by assistant the rules' category is a guess about to
be replaced, so where the verdict could still change it the message is
held: stamped before threading, its new thread given no category, which
every tab query already reads as "in no tab". The answer releases it.
Failing that a timed release does, after AiSettings::holdMaxSeconds —
60 by default — and the mail is shown where the rules put it; the model
call carries on and moves the mail when it answers. A message is asked
about once. Admin → AI has the switch, the ceiling, and the measured
delay over the last week beside them.

Three things about the release that were each wrong once first:

  - It ran on the live worker, so it could not fire while that worker
    was inside the call that was taking too long. It was moved to
    export, which mixed mail appearing with mail leaving. It has a
    queue and a worker of its own.
  - The call was cut off at the ceiling and the message asked about
    again later. The hold and the question are separate; only the hold
    has a deadline.
  - A late verdict was stored and moved nothing. It moves the mail.

Both workers still end at one model host, so bulk classification looks
at the live queue before each call and stands aside (LiveMailPriority).

One migration: two columns on `message`, two on `ai_settings`.

Not verified against a real import or a live model host: the tests pin
the queues, the hold and the release against in-memory transports and a
mocked host. Known and left: IMAP still imports oldest first; a reply
into an existing thread cannot be hidden; a Gmail account counts as
importing for up to an hour after its last message lands.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 f0380c47fa Make the wax seal the icon an account starts on
The default icon was the pl mark. It is the wax seal now, in its own
design: the mark pressed into wax is still recognisably plMail, and it
is a picture rather than two letters, which is what an icon on a
catalogue page or a home screen has to be.

Three things move together:

  LogoMotif::DEFAULT         the seal, for new accounts and for pages
                             with nobody signed in
  Appearance::$logoOriginal  true by default, so the seal arrives the
                             way a picked motif does and not in the
                             theme's colourway
  public/icons/              favicon.svg and the four PNGs redrawn as
                             the seal on its tile

A migration moves the column defaults and every account that never
chose an icon: the pl mark, still in berry, still linked to the theme.
That cannot tell an untouched account from one that deliberately stayed
on the mark; those get the seal too and can pick the mark again.

The static files are drawn by hand from the motif's geometry, so a test
now holds favicon.svg to the default icon's own colours.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 6edc6c324c fix(deploy): the cache table exists before any worker reads it
A fresh install logged a warning about once a second from the worker,
until an administrator happened to press "Restart workers":

  Failed to fetch key "workers.restart_requested_timestamp": ...
  relation "cache_items" does not exist

The restart signal and the notice throttle live in cache pools on
Symfony's DBAL adapter, which creates cache_items on its first write.
Every Messenger consumer reads the signal on every loop, long before
anything writes it, and each failed read is logged. The migrations
leave the table out on purpose, because the adapter owns its DDL.

app:db:migrate now has each DBAL adapter create its table when it is
missing, after the migrations and inside the advisory lock, so php and
the worker cannot race each other to it. The adapter still owns the
DDL: it names its table through configureSchema() and creates it with
createTable(). Best effort, like the statement statistics: a failure is
a warning, not a container that will not start. Existing installs get
the table on their next boot.

The adapters are collected by class in a compiler pass rather than
injected by pool id. In dev and test the profiler wraps every pool in a
TraceableAdapter, which has no createTable(). It is the lookup
DoctrineBundle uses for its schema listener, and it covers any DBAL
pool added later.

Checked on two fresh compose.yaml + compose.demo.yaml stacks: 95
warnings in 75 seconds without this, none with it, and Restart workers
still reaches every consumer through the table created at boot.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 4cbdb4f511 feat(admin): a version checker, with a channel to follow
Admin → Updates: an administrator picks which builds count as an update
(Releases, the `latest` image; Main, the `main` image; or Off), and
every hour app:updates:check asks whether that channel has a newer one.
Until somebody picks, an installation follows the tag its own build
came from, so a `main` image follows main and an unbuilt checkout asks
nothing of anyone.

The registry decides what exists: the channel's image is read the way
`docker pull` finds it (OCI distribution API, anonymous token from the
401's challenge, the index entry for this architecture, the config's
labels), so a commit that builds no image is never announced. GitHub's
compare decides which way two builds differ, so a main build following
releases is not told to go back to an older release, and its commit
list is the page's "what's new". An image from anywhere but GitHub falls
back to what the version numbers alone can say.

Each new build is announced once: a push to every administrator's
registered devices (a new UpdateAvailable payload the service worker
shows), a badge beside the build chip in the admin header, and a dot on
the nav entry. A check that gets no answer keeps the last one and says
why, and the hourly command exits 0 for it: an installation behind a
firewall is not a fault.

Images are stamped with where they are published (APP_IMAGE), so a fork
that publishes its own checks its own. The channel travels in config
backups; what the last check found does not.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 24d7bdfc07 feat(appearance): the logo is an icon, then its paint
Appearance gains logoMotif (default pl) and logoOriginal (default false),
with Version20260923223000 adding both columns so every account keeps the
mark it has. effectiveLogoPaint() says what the chosen icon wears: for the
pl mark it is effectiveLogoStyle(), unchanged; a motif wears its own design
while logoOriginal holds, then the theme's namesake colourway while linked
and the chosen one when not. A linked motif on a classic theme falls back to
its original rather than to Berry. Export, import and the settings save
carry both fields; an unknown motif keeps the current one.

seen_at IS NULL`, which visited every row of the folder to test seen_at. A

collapse() returned 0, and it was back on the work list next sync, costing a
round trip per copy per poll and filling the 100-row slice so real ghosts

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 07b6724e8c fix(imap): a message that fails to build is retried instead of lost
The catch around buildMessage() logged and moved on without holding the
high-water mark, so lastSeenUid passed the failed UID and it was never fetched
again. The clamp that did exist for empty fetches was per batch and got
overwritten by the next batch's higher UIDs. Now the lowest skipped UID is
tracked for the whole run, both failure paths hold the mark below it, and a
per-mailbox counter (mailbox.failed_uid / failed_uid_attempts, new migration)
lets one message that always fails go after five syncs so it cannot block the
folder.

A present but unparseable Date header made webklex throw while building the
message, failing the fetch for the whole folder. The client now configures a
fallback date (the epoch), and MessageSyncer::dateFromHeader() reads that, or
any throw, as "no date" and uses the arrival time.

Attachment parts are persisted only after the message is fully built; before,
a second attachment that threw left the first part managed and pointing at an
unpersisted message, and the batch flush failed on it.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5.5 63b236b134 fix(imap): a folder missing from one LIST no longer deletes its mail
MailboxSyncer removed every stored folder the server's LIST did not name, and
message.mailbox_id cascades, so an empty or partial LIST, or a rename done in
another client, deleted every message of those folders in one poll.

Now an empty listing is refused outright, a listing that would leave out most
of the stored folders is refused like VanishedMessageReconciler's bulk guard,
and a folder that is really gone is only marked (mailbox.missing_since and
missing_syncs, new migration) and skipped by the sync loop. It is removed only
after three consecutive listings and 24 hours, and its messages go through
MessageEraser so JMAP clients get a destroyed change for each. A new folder
with the same special use or the same UIDVALIDITY as exactly one missing
folder is treated as a rename: the row keeps its mail and takes the new path.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 5a620f4be7 Run one-time repairs once per installation, and repair the lost bodies
The previous commit stops bodies being filed as attachments. It does nothing
for the mail already in the mailbox, which stays blank — and there was nowhere
for that kind of work to live.

WHY NOT THE FOUR PLACES IT COULD HAVE GONE. A migration runs exactly once on
update and is the right home for schema, but this repair needs the attachment
store and the body sanitizer, and a migration reaching into the container
breaks the day one of them moves — halfway through an update, with the schema
half applied. The entrypoint is downtime: it runs before the server accepts a
request, so a walk over every message put there means an install that updates
at eight in the evening is unreachable until it finishes. BackfillTaskInterface
is deliberately manual, which is right for "regenerate the categories because
the classifier changed" and wrong for damage nobody should read a changelog to
discover. BackgroundJob is per-user, and this is not owned by a user.

So: a ledger, in the same shape as Doctrine's own migration_versions and
readable the same way when the application will not start. A task claims its
row BEFORE running, so a container killed mid-walk leaves evidence rather than
looking like one that never started; three attempts and it stops rather than
taking the worker down every ten minutes forever. The runner re-reads the row
afterwards because tasks clear the EntityManager between batches and the
claimed instance is detached by then — writing through it would flush nothing
and the task would run again for ever.

Scheduled every ten minutes, and what runs every ten minutes is the QUESTION,
not the work: one indexed lookup per registered task against a table with
single-digit rows. What it buys is the gap between an update landing and the
repair happening.

The repair is the first task and implements both interfaces — automatic for
everybody, and app:backfill misfiled-bodies for anyone who wants it now. It
needs no mail server: persistAttachment() stored the bytes on the way past, so
the body has been on disk the whole time it was missing from the screen. It
does lose the declared charset, which MessagePart does not keep, so
CharsetHelper works it out from the bytes — exact for UTF-8 and a reasoned
guess otherwise, against a round trip per message to a server with nothing else
to say.

EXISTS rather than a join in the lookup, and not as a preference: a
multipart/alternative can have both halves misfiled, and SELECT DISTINCT cannot
run at all here — Message carries json columns and Postgres has no equality
operator for json. The repository test caught that on its first run.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 fb97a5a6b4 Recognise Google's weekly Testing expiry, and warn before the next one
A Gmail account that stops every few days is almost always one thing: Google
expires refresh tokens issued by an OAuth app whose consent screen is still in
"Testing" publishing status, after about a week. That is the state nearly every
self-hosted install is in, because leaving it there is the documented way to
avoid Google's verification review for scopes of Gmail's reach. So the account
works, stops seven days later, gets reconnected, and stops again. Forever.

Google gives no clue which case you are in. What arrives is `invalid_grant` —
the same code it returns for a revoked consent, a changed password, and a token
that aged out. Four causes, one error, and only one of them is fixed by changing
a setting rather than by signing in again every week.

THE ONLY THING THAT SEPARATES THEM IS THE INTERVAL, and nothing was recording
it. Two columns now do: when the current grant was issued, and how many hours
the previous one survived. The second is kept ACROSS the reconnect on purpose —
it is the only evidence that survives one, and the moment somebody has just
fixed it is the one moment they are looking at the account and could act on the
cause.

Two cards come out of it. A sign-in that died after about a week gets one naming
that cause and the real fix instead of the generic "sign in again" for the fifth
time. And once the pattern has been seen once, a warning appears a day or two
BEFORE the next one runs out, while nothing is broken yet.

The inference needs both halves and says so. Without the history it would nag
every healthy Google account weekly; without the age it would fire the moment
somebody reconnected, and a warning visible five days out of seven is furniture.
The window is 4 to 9½ days: wide enough for a death noticed a day late on the
next sync, narrow enough to exclude a grant that ran for three months and was
then revoked — which is the claim that must never be made, and is pinned in
WeeklyGrantExpiryTest in both directions. An account connected before this was
recorded is told nothing at all.

Verified on a running stack in all three states: the warning on a live six-day
grant with a weekly history, the diagnostic card on a dead one, and the plain
card with no mention of Testing on a grant that lasted ninety days. The last
found a real bug — the check was wired into inspectAccount(), which the settings
page never calls, so the card rendered nowhere. It also must not register as a
CAUSE, or every calendar on the account would grey out and blame a card whose
first sentence says mail is still arriving.

The handbook said "publishing and going through verification is what removes
that", which conflates two separate settings and is what makes people accept the
weekly reconnect as the price of not being verified. Publishing status and
verification status are different fields; an app published without verification
works, with a warning screen the first time. Corrected in English and German,
with a new section in features/health.md describing both cards.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 d53e7c4963 Report browser errors to the admin panel, in a card of their own
A JavaScript fault was visible only to whoever had the console open, which on a
self-hosted mailbox means nobody. Uncaught exceptions and rejected promises from
plMail's own scripts now reach Admin → Logs, together with whatever the
Content-Security-Policy blocked.

Its own card rather than rows in the log, because it holds a different kind of
thing. A server error is one event in one request; a broken line in a controller
runs on every page load for every user. So a row is a distinct fault — message,
file, line — with a count and a lifetime, and the same fault reported again
increments it. Merged into the log, one bug would be four hundred rows and the
log would be unreadable past it.

THE FILTER IS THE FEATURE. Most of what window.onerror sees is not ours: the
console screenshot that prompted this was an ad-attribution metrics script
failing inside requestIdleCallback, injected by an extension. A panel that
accepted that fills with other people's bugs and stops being read, which is the
same as not having one. A report is kept only when it can be attributed to a
script this server sent — an injected script has no URL (Chrome's `VM947`), and
a cross-origin one arrives as the bare string `Script error.` with no file, line
or message. The rule is applied in the browser and again in the recorder,
because the browser half is part of the code being reported on.

CSP violations come to the same card through /csp-report. That endpoint cannot
be CSRF-protected and is public in security.yaml, because the browser generates
the request itself: no token, no header we chose, and on a login page no session.
The rate limiter is the bound. It is worth having because the full policy is
enforced in production, so what arrives is what this installation actually
refused to load in a real browser.

The count means page loads, not executions — the client reports each fault once
per page, capped at five. Measured rather than assumed: throwing the same error
twice on one page records one sighting. Documented that way on both sides after
the first version claimed the server would count what the client never sent.

`column` is a reserved word in Postgres, so the field is `column_number`. The
quoted DDL created the table happily and every insert into it was a syntax
error — same trap User::$usr already avoids.

Verified on a running stack by throwing real errors in a real browser: an error
from a script on this origin recorded, an anonymous injected one refused, the
card rendering both kinds grouped with counts.

Its first catch was a false alarm, and a useful one to record. It reported the
Mercure connection as blocked by `connect-src` — which was true, and was me
browsing `localhost` while MERCURE_PUBLIC_URL names `127.0.0.1`. Different
origins, so the app's own policy refused its own hub. Browsing the host the
config actually names produces no violation at all. The compose comment calling
that URL "same-origin" is correct on its own terms; it just stops being true if
you reach the stack by another name.

Claude 044aa01846 Reported mail is one feature: one list, one triage, one export you choose
Two kinds of report — a mail an extractor should have understood and did not,
and a mail somebody found in the wrong tab — were two tables behind two panels
with two export buttons. That split made sense to whoever wrote them and to
nobody using them: an admin opening this section is asking "what is still mine
to do", and that question does not have two answers.

The tables stay apart, because the evidence really is different: a wrong tab is
a disagreement between three classifiers, a missed insight is a mail body a
parser could not read, and making them inherit would put a dozen always-null
columns on each row and tie a schema change on one to the other for ever. What
is unified is everything above them. ReportedMail carries the handful of fields
a triage list is built from and the entity alongside for the fold and the
export; ReportedMailProvider is the only place that knows there are two tables;
the panel, the buttons and the file are written against the pair.

Category reports gained handledAt, which is what makes them belong in the same
list — a worklist you cannot cross anything off is not a worklist. Before this
the only way to stop looking at one was to delete every one of them, taking the
evidence for a rule away at the moment somebody might want to check it again.

The export's scope becomes the selection. "Everything, or only the unhandled
part" answers the question an admin has on their first visit and none of the
ones they have afterwards; the one that comes up is "these six, the ones about
the shop". So the list filters — by status, and by the problem itself, with the
chips derived from the rows because for a wrong tab the problem IS a pair of
categories and only this install knows which pairs it has produced — and the
export takes what is ticked. Filtering never unticks anything: a row hidden by
a chip is out of the selection while it is hidden and comes back ticked, so a
selection built across two chips survives. An empty post still means everything,
which is what a browser without JavaScript sends.

Each record now carries its kind, every field its kind has, and the same
one-line rendering the panel shows and the copy button copies. The document is
plmail.reported-mail version 2 — a new name rather than a bumped version alone,
so a consumer written against version 1 fails on the name instead of half-reading
a file whose records it only understands some of.

The row is a <div> and not a <label>, though a label around the whole row would
give the checkbox a better hit target: a label may not contain a <form> or a
<details> and both are there. Chromium happens not to forward label activation
from a nested button, which means the invalid version works right up until the
row is read by something that is not Chromium.

Verified on a running stack: six reports of both kinds in one list, the status
chip hiding the handled one, select-all writing five keys into the export form,
a problem chip narrowing that to one without losing the other four, and the
export returning scope:selection with the full record and its line.

Claude d42012cedf Report the category the tabs actually sort by, and the evidence behind it
The first real miscategorisation report read `filed:updates should:updates`
about a conversation its owner was reading in Primary. Both halves of that were
wrong in the same way: `filed` was `message.category`, and the mailbox lists
threads and filters the tabs on `thread.category`. A thread takes one category
from its newest message and a pin overrides it outright, so on any conversation
with more than one message the two are free to differ — and it is the thread
that decides which tab somebody is looking at.

So the report described a column nobody can see, and the popover's "category"
line did too. Both now read the thread, falling back to the message for one not
yet threaded, and both say so when the two disagree: the panel explains that
the conversation takes its category from its newest message, which is the
difference between a panel that looks broken and one that is informative.

The report row was also too thin to act on. It carried the four verdicts and
none of the inputs they came from, so a line could be entirely true and still
leave nobody able to say what to change. Added: the message's own category when
its thread disagrees, whether a pin is holding it, whether the reader had asked
for the provider to be overruled, whether the model was asked at all
(`model:-` could not tell "never asked" from "asked, no answer"), whether there
was any plain text for it to read, and List-Id's value — the one bulk header
whose value is a rule-writing input rather than a tracking link.

The card moves from Admin → AI into Reported mail, where somebody who has just
pressed Report goes looking for it, and is grouped by `filed → should` rather
than listed by date: twenty reports are rarely twenty problems, and the fix for
one group is not the fix for another. Each group and each row can be selected,
and the selection can be copied or downloaded as a text file — so whoever is
changing one rule can take the reports about that rule and leave the rest.

A report that agrees with where the mail already is now 409s rather than
landing as a row saying nothing.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 fabaf49a80 Let a reader report mail as filed in the wrong tab
Categorisation is decided by three things that disagree — a provider's labels, a
header cascade, and a model — and whether the answer is any good is a judgement
only the owner of the mailbox can make. Everything else in this feature can be
measured against fixtures somebody invented. This is the one route by which real
mail, wrongly filed, becomes something a rule or a prompt can be changed on the
strength of.

The control sits at the bottom of the header popover, where the three answers
already are. A SELECT AND A BUTTON rather than five buttons: knowing a message
was misfiled is a fraction as useful as knowing where it belonged — "promotions,
not primary" is a rule somebody can act on, "wrong" is a shrug. The tab it is
already in is not offered, because "it should be where it is" is not a report.

It records the DECISION and its evidence, not the message: what each of the
three said, what the rules matched on, which of them was deciding, which bulk
headers were present, the sender and the subject. Not the body — the most
sensitive part of a message and the least useful here, since most marketing mail
has no plain-text part at all and the classifier sees "(no plain text part)", so
the column would be empty for exactly the mail most often reported.

Sender and subject ARE kept, and on a multi-user installation an administrator
reading these sees them for other people's mail. That is a real cost, taken
deliberately: a report saying only "something was wrong" is not worth the
button, and it is why nothing is recorded without somebody pressing it.

The reports collect in Admin → AI rather than a nav entry of their own, because
that is where somebody ACTS on them — the prompt and the model are a card
above. The product is the TEXT: one line per report, built in the entity rather
than the template because a format assembled in Twig would change whenever the
table's layout did. Copy takes the block; clearing is a deliberate press, since
these are observations nothing regenerates and a pattern across twenty of them
over two months is the whole value.

No foreign key to `message`: a report outlives the mail it is about. Somebody
deletes the message, the pattern it was evidence of does not go away.

Verified on the stack: the control renders, a report returns 204, a hand-edited
category is refused with 400, the line appears in the admin card, and clearing
empties it.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 ed4a483ac3 Let each person choose what sorts their mail into tabs
Two decisions, and they were both taken for everybody by a constant.

WHAT DECIDES. The rules read headers — a mailing-list header, an unsubscribe
link, a sender you have written to — and answer the same way every time for the
same mail, on any installation, with nothing switched on. The assistant reads
the message and decides what it is for: better at mail that does not announce
itself, and occasionally confidently wrong. Which is preferable is genuinely a
matter of taste, which is why it is now a setting rather than something argued
about once.

Choosing the assistant puts its verdict ABOVE the header cascade — which is what
choosing it has to mean. Read only as a tie-break, a newsletter carrying
List-Unsubscribe is Promotions whatever the model made of it. Below the
correspondent rule, though, and that placement is the one to keep: "you have
written to this person" is a fact about the reader rather than a guess about the
mail, and a model above it files a colleague under Promotions on one bad guess —
the only mistake in this cascade anybody would actually notice.

WHETHER IT OUTRANKS GMAIL. A Gmail account arrives already sorted, and plMail
has always treated those labels as authoritative — its own rules never even ran.
That is the right default and it is also exactly what somebody who dislikes
Google's sorting could not escape, on the account where they most wanted to.

Per person, not per installation, for AiPreferences' reason: an administrator
decides what is available and a reader decides what happens to their own mail.
Its own embeddable rather than two more fields in the AI bag, because only half
of it is about the assistant — the provider half works on an installation with
no model at all, and folding it in would file a setting where nobody would look
for it.

ONE BEHAVIOUR CHANGE, NAMED RATHER THAN DISCOVERED. The model's verdict used to
be consulted as a silent tie-break: no setting turned it on, none turned it off,
and nothing on screen said it had happened. It is now what Assistant means, and
Rules means what it says — so an installation with categorisation on loses that
tie-break until somebody chooses. The alternative is a model quietly sorting
mail for people who never asked, which is the arrangement this ends. Said in the
migration, in the handbook, and in an upgrade note.

Nothing is re-sorted. The category is recomputed from stored data, so a mailbox
keeps what it has until `app:backfill category` runs — an operator's call, not a
settings toggle's, and the card says so.

Verified on the stack rather than asserted: the card renders, the assistant
option is disabled with its reason when categorisation is off, and a posted
change lands in the column. The four combinations of the two settings pick three
different categories for one fixture, which is what makes them worth having.

Paul LütznerandClaude Opus 5 2bfc30ad8d Offer to summarise the whole conversation, and send a context window with it
The card now says when a summary was written from part of a thread, and the way
out sits beside the notice that explains why it is there.

num_ctx IS THE WHOLE MECHANISM. This client has never sent one — four docblocks
across the codebase size their budgets around "OllamaClient sends no num_ctx, so
the model's default decides what survives", and that default is 4096 tokens with
everything past it dropped silently. So "send the whole conversation" without
also asking for somewhere to put it would send more, have it truncated at a
point nobody chose, and spend a much longer wait to produce no more than before.
It is sent only when a caller asks, so every existing call keeps its shape.

FULL IS STILL BOUNDED, and that is the honest part rather than a caveat. A
context window is memory: Ollama allocates the KV cache for the whole of it
whether the prompt fills it or not, so an unbounded "send everything" lets one
absurd thread ask a modest host for an allocation it cannot make — and a failed
allocation costs the reader the entire wait and produces nothing, where a
clipped transcript produces a summary and a sentence saying it is partial. The
ceiling is 96,000 characters against a 32,768-token window, twelve times the
ordinary budget. Past it the run is full AND partial, and the button withdraws
rather than inviting the same wait twice.

The window is SIZED to the transcript rather than fixed, since it is reserved
whole either way and a two-message thread should not cost what a hundred-message
one does. Sized at 3.0 characters per token, deliberately below the 3.55
measured on real German business mail: this divides to get tokens, so erring low
overestimates the need and asks for slightly more room than strictly required.
Erring the other way would silently truncate inside the one feature whose entire
purpose is not to.

thread_summary gains full_context, and it cannot be derived like the rest of the
card. "Is this thread too long to send whole" is a question about the thread and
comes free from the transcript the freshness check already builds. "Did THIS
summary see all of it" is a question about the row, and the thread cannot answer
it — a thread that is still too long is still too long after somebody presses
the button and gets a summary that did see everything. Without the column that
press would appear to do nothing: new text, same notice, much longer wait.

A press and not a setting, deliberately. It is a fair thing to spend once on a
thread somebody cares about and a poor default for every summary in a mailbox,
so the cost is written into the label and nothing is remembered.
