jcoffey-dev 8173e22ccb Update a re-imported event rather than skipping it
Contacts and calendars disagreed on a re-import: a vCard or LDIF entry
whose identity a book already held overwrote the card there (#242, #274),
while an event whose UID a calendar held was counted and thrown away
(#222). The asymmetry was never decided -- it was where each half stopped.

Decided on #279: calendars update too, with two properties held back.
`participants` carries every attendee's accepted/declined and
`recurrenceOverrides` holds every "just this Wednesday" edit made here.
Both are decisions taken after the file was written, and a file that
mentions them at all describes them as they were at export, so writing
either one over would destroy work silently and return no error. A
corrected export now fixes the time, the title and the location, and
leaves who said yes alone. `uid` is held back with them: it is what the
two were matched on, so it is already equal.

The scan returns uid -> id rather than a set of UIDs, since updating
needs something to address, and creates and updates now share one
`maxObjectsInSet` budget the way contacts' `writeCards` does -- 300 new
and 300 changed batched separately would be two calls of 300, neither
over a ceiling of 500 and both refused. Counts become created/updated,
reported as the contacts import reports them.

Still no scheduling messages, on an update as much as on a create. That
is a real cost -- an event a re-import moves is moved here and nowhere
else -- and it is the lesser one: an import is not the place to start
mailing a room full of people who never asked for it.

Driven against the mock end to end: a second file with the same UID
updated the event in place, took the file's title, start and location,
and left an accepted RSVP and a per-occurrence override untouched even
though the file carried participants of its own.

jcoffey-dev 1a842d8d14 Build the two rule descriptions as sentences, not fragments
Both describeRule functions assembled their output by concatenation, which no
catalogue could fix. A translator handed " and " or " on " in isolation cannot
move it: German puts the verb last, Japanese does not separate list items with
a word at all, and the fragments arrive in an order the English sentence chose.
Reported by a native speaker reviewing the German catalogue (#247), whose "the
summaries" item is the Sieve one.

Every branch is now one whole sentence with placeholders, so a translator
rewrites the sentence including its word order. Joining is Intl.ListFormat,
which gives "A, B und C" for an allof rule and the language's own disjunction
for anyof, rather than a hardcoded " and " that would be wrong twice over.

The recurrence tail no longer appends: ", 5 times" and ", until 2026-05-03"
wrap the sentence they qualify, so a language that puts the limit first can.

Ordinals become words. The old suffix table -- st, nd, rd, th, picked by
arithmetic -- is English spelling rules in code, and no catalogue can reach a
suffix chosen that way. German writes "1.", Japanese "第1". nthOfPeriod is 1-5
or -1 in practice, so five words and "last" cover it.

WEEKDAYS is gone. Its long names could have been catalogue entries but its
short ones never could: "T" is Tuesday and Thursday, "S" is Saturday and
Sunday, and a catalogue cannot hold two translations under one key. That was
bad data rather than missing translation, and Intl has every name in every
locale in three widths. lib/datetime.ts gains weekdayName, weekdayNames and
formatList; recurrence.ts keeps WEEKDAY_KEYS for the ordering, which is not a
language question.

Adds the first tests either function has had. Neither had any, and no test
would have caught what was wrong with them, since the English output was
correct -- so these pin the two properties that actually matter: fragments go
through the catalogue, and the joining is Intl's.

32 strings and 9 plural forms are new and land with each language.

Verified: typecheck clean, 1009 tests pass.

jcoffey-dev 1a6158aa70 Export a calendar as an iCAL file
The mirror of the import from #173, and the last thing contacts had that
calendars did not -- an address book could always be exported, a calendar
never could.

It is written here rather than asked for. The import hands parsing to the
server because Stalwart has a CalendarEvent/parse and reimplementing an .ics
reader in a browser would be foolish; there is no method the other way, in
Stalwart or in the JMAP calendar drafts, so the file is built from the RFC
8984 objects the server already returns. Most of that is renaming: 8984 was
written as a restatement of 5545, and the comments say which way it went
wherever the two disagree.

The masters, not the occurrences. The query runs without expandRecurrences,
so a weekly meeting leaves as one VEVENT carrying its RRULE rather than as a
year of identical ones -- an export that had flattened the rule would import
somewhere else as a pile nobody can maintain. A changed occurrence goes out
as its own VEVENT with the same UID and a RECURRENCE-ID, which is how
iCalendar has always said it; a cancelled one becomes an EXDATE.

Three decisions worth stating rather than leaving to be found:

No VTIMEZONE components. A TZID names the IANA zone the server holds and
nothing defines it beside it, because defining it means shipping a zone
database to describe rules the reader's own system already knows. Every
client that matters resolves IANA names. The alternative -- converting to
UTC -- would be worse than a validator's complaint: a weekly 09:00 that
becomes 08:00 for half the year is a wrong calendar.

UNTIL follows DTSTART's kind, a date for an all-day series and a UTC instant
otherwise. Sending a local time there is the usual way to make a series stop
a day early in another timezone.

Overrides are applied at the top level only. A recurrence override is a JSON
patch, and one addressing locations/x/name is not something this flattens.

Closes #216.

jcoffey-dev 74f6d1d0aa Skip events on re-import that the calendar already has
Importing an export twice left second copies of everything. The import has
kept the file's own UID since it was written -- inventing one only where an
event arrives without -- so what was needed to recognise an event that is
already here was there all along, and nothing looked at it.

Asked for on #173 after the reporter's colleague hit the duplication in
testing, and decided there: skip on a UID the calendar already holds, import
what arrives without one. An event with no UID is not one anything can match
to, and a softer match -- title and time, say -- guesses in both directions.

The UIDs are read once per import rather than once per event. CalendarEvent/
query does take a uid filter, which is what findByUid uses, but a file of two
thousand events would be two thousand queries. Read without expandRecurrences
so a weekly series is one event with one UID rather than one per occurrence,
and narrowed to the target calendar from calendarIds rather than through an
inCalendar filter this client has not confirmed the server supports.

Matching is per calendar. A UID is what makes an event the same event across
calendars, so the same event being in two of them is not a duplicate and the
second calendar still gets its copy.

importIcs now answers with both counts. "Imported 40 events" over a file of
240 reads as a failure when 200 of them were simply already there, and a
re-import of an unchanged file would otherwise report importing nothing at
all rather than saying everything was already here.

The three import toasts are translated in all nine catalogues while the
messages were being written -- the plural for the existing one had never been
added and was falling back to English.

Closes #222.

jcoffey-dev 7b3069e41b Move an event by the days the hand moved it, not to the date dropped on
Dragging an event across the month grid wrote the date of the cell it
landed on into the event's stored start. Those are the same date only
while the event's time zone is the reader's.

An event kept in Asia/Tokyo at 15:00 is drawn to a reader in Phoenix at
23:00 the previous evening. Dropped on the 11th, it was written as the
11th in Tokyo -- which is the 10th on screen. It went where its own
calendar said rather than where the pointer did, one day short, every
time.

Moving by the difference between the two local days instead moves it
exactly as far as the hand did, and adding whole days to a stored wall
clock leaves the time of day alone without touching the zone -- so the
frame the rest of this path is careful about is still not crossed.

Found by giving the mock an event in a zone that is not the machine's.
Every other fixture used the machine's own, which cannot tell a correct
conversion from no conversion at all: the case that works is the one the
fixtures were all testing.

Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL

jcoffey-dev 4d18d94b63 Subscribe to a calendar published at a URL
A timetable, a rota, a public holiday list: the calendars people are given
as a link, which ihasmail could not show at all.

Nothing is stored. The document is fetched when the calendar is opened and
parsed in the browser; the server keeps no copy, no cache and no schedule,
which is what lets an immutable container serve this. There is no timer
either -- there is nowhere to run one -- so the guarantee is that a
subscription is as current as the last time somebody looked, which is also
when it matters. That is said plainly rather than implied.

The fetch has to happen on the server: a calendar URL belongs to whoever
published it and almost none of them send CORS headers. That makes it the
second place this app knocks on a door somebody else chose, so the guard
the image proxy has always had was lifted out and both now call it. A
second SSRF implementation is how one of them ends up missing a case; this
way there is one, and the extraction is covered by the image proxy's own
tests still passing unchanged.

webcal: is understood, because that is how these are published, and it is
read as https: rather than waved past the checks -- a webcal URL pointing
at loopback is refused exactly like an http one.

Recurrence is deliberately not expanded. RRULE is a small language with a
lot of edge cases, and a subscription quietly showing the wrong dates would
be worse than one showing the first occurrence and saying so.

The parser is a subscription parser rather than an importer: a subscribed
calendar is read-only and redrawn from scratch each refresh, so nothing has
to round-trip or survive an edit, which is most of what makes a full
iCalendar implementation large. What it does have to do is never mis-state
a time -- a DATE is built in local time rather than at UTC midnight, which
would land on the day before for anyone west of Greenwich -- and never hang
on a document somebody else wrote.

Events go through instancesIn like the birthdays, so no view has to know
they are not real calendars, and the calendar they hang off reports no
write rights, so everything that asks before offering an edit declines on
its own. A subscription that cannot be read says so in the sidebar rather
than drawing an empty calendar, which looks like a calendar with nothing
in it.

jcoffey-dev a30f96f76b Drag an event to move it, and its edge to resize it
The calendar could only be edited through the editor, so moving a meeting
half an hour meant opening a dialog, changing two fields and saving. Every
other surface a finger or a pointer drives already answers to a drag.

In the day and week grids an event moves by dragging it and changes length
by dragging its bottom edge, snapping to fifteen minutes. In the month
grid it moves to another day and keeps the time it had, because a month
cell is a day and nothing finer -- changing the hour as well would answer
a question nobody asked.

It goes through the same path a menu edit takes. A recurring event is
asked which dates it means, and the answer runs through runScoped, so a
date the server will only change as part of a whole series offers that
rather than failing.

Three things do not offer a drag, and the reasons are checked in one place
so no grid has to remember all three: a read-only calendar, an event with
no calendar, and a birthday -- which is derived from a contact and has
nothing on the server to move. The reserved classes the swipe gesture was
told to keep out of are exactly the ones that are draggable here, which is
what that reservation was for.

Invitations are not sent. A drag is a scheduling gesture, and mailing
every guest on each nudge of a block is not what the hand was asking for;
a change that should go out with notice goes through the editor.

The new time is computed in the event's own frame rather than through an
instant. Working it out from the reader's local hours and then
re-expressing it in the event's zone converts twice, and the two do not
cancel: caught in the browser, where an event moved two hours the first
time it was dragged in the month grid and then sat still, because after
that its stored time and the reader's agreed. Parsing the stored string
into its parts and adding minutes to those touches no zone at all, and a
resize sends only a duration, so the question does not arise there either.

jcoffey-dev c9ab203b76 Show birthdays from the address book as a calendar
The dates were already on the contact cards and nothing ever showed them,
so the one thing a birthday is for -- noticing it in time -- was the one
thing the app could not do with it.

Derived, not stored. The dates stay on the cards: a second copy of the
same fact drifts the first time somebody corrects one, and keeping a
calendar of its own is exactly what ihasmail does not do. Entries are
generated when a view asks for a range and vanish when the contact does.
They go through instancesIn like everything else, so no view has to know
they are different.

Off until switched on. It is derived data, and a calendar that fills
itself with dates nobody put there is a surprise rather than a feature. It
can also be hidden from the calendar's own sidebar without being turned
off, which is the same distinction the shared calendars already draw.

They cannot be edited or deleted, and that falls out of the design rather
than being special-cased: the virtual calendar reports no write rights, so
every control that already asks before offering Edit or Delete declines on
its own. updateEvent and destroyEvent refuse a synthesised id as well, so
the store is safe whatever calls it -- including anything added later.

Two things about the dates themselves. A card that records only a day and
month is the common case rather than the exceptional one, and gets a
birthday with no age rather than no birthday. And 29 February falls on the
28th in a year that has no 29th: somebody born in February has a birthday
in February, and moving it into March is the arithmetic winning over the
fact. Both are conventions; these are the ones that keep the fact intact.

The mock now carries birthdays on most of its contacts, including one with
no year and one on 29 February, so both cases are visible without a real
address book.

jcoffey-dev 7d9a01cb93 Swipe the calendar sideways to step a day or a month
The calendar had next and previous as toolbar buttons and n/p, and nothing
for a thumb. Every other surface in the app that a finger drives already
answers to a swipe.

Day and month only. Those are the two views where a period is a page;
week and agenda scroll through a range rather than turning to the next
one, so there is nothing a sideways flick would obviously mean. Dragging
left pulls the next period in from the right, the way paper and every
phone do it.

Three things it deliberately does not do.

It draws nothing while the finger moves. The row swipe slides the row open
because the strip underneath has to name which of six actions is about to
happen; stepping a calendar has two outcomes and the direction of the
finger already says which. Translating the grid would also break the
sticky day header, since a transform makes a containing block. The
threshold is reported by the vibration motor instead, which is what the
haptics are for.

It does not start on an event. Which gesture was meant is decidable at the
moment the finger lands and only then, so dragging an event stays
available to be built later without having to be untangled from this
first.

And it asks for a longer drag than a row swipe -- not because the
consequence is bigger, since stepping back undoes it while a swiped row
has already been archived, but because this gesture has no way to change
its mind. A row reveals what it will do and can be let go early, and
offers Undo after. This shows nothing and offers nothing, so the distance
is the only chance to not mean it.

The axis lock is the shared one, keeping its bias towards the vertical:
the day grid scrolls through the hours, and a scroll misread as a swipe
throws the reader into another day. The toolbar buttons and n/p stay,
because a gesture with no visible control is one only the people who
already know about it can use.

jcoffey-dev e1402e472f Schedule against the whole guest list, and say who cannot be read
The availability bar showed the guests it had free/busy for and quietly
left out the ones it did not. In one row that is survivable. As a grid it
would be a lie: a row with nothing in it reads as a diary with nothing in
it, and "we cannot see this person's calendar" is the one thing that must
not look like "this person is free".

So everyone the event concerns now gets a row, and the ones with no
free/busy to read are drawn hatched rather than empty, with a line under
the grid saying how many and why. You get a row too, first. Scheduling
around the other people and not around yourself is how two things end up
at the same time, and the organiser was the one calendar the panel never
showed.

Your own row is never unknown. Where the directory does not list you under
the address your identity sends from -- an alias, a login that differs
from the address -- the account is still yours to read, and Stalwart
answers for it under the account's own id.

The window steps backwards and forwards a screenful at a time without
touching the event, which is the "movable forwards & backwards" the report
asks for, and offers its way back when you have wandered off.

And the bars are somewhere to put the event rather than only something to
read: the pointer shows the half hour it is over, and a click moves the
event there keeping its length. Clicking while stepped away moves the
event to where you clicked and returns the view to it, so it lands where
you were looking instead of jumping.

Free/busy is answered per principal, and only the server's own accounts
are principals. Somebody at another domain has none to read -- which is
not a gap to be closed, it is what the protocol can see -- so the grid
says so rather than drawing them blank.

Closes #172

jcoffey-dev c4649e0084 Say what the availability bar is showing, and show all of it
The bar was a day wide whatever it was drawing. It began at midnight on
the event's start day and stopped 24 hours later, so an event running over
two days showed availability for the first of them and gave no sign there
was more. And it carried no marks at all, which left "is this the whole
day or only working hours" unanswerable without dragging the event about
to see where its own outline moved.

It now covers whole days from the day the event starts to the day it ends,
and the free/busy lookup asks for the same range it draws. Above the bars
is an axis: hours every three across a single day, every six across two,
day names beyond that. The marks are drawn down the bars too, so a busy
block can be read against the hour it starts at rather than guessed at.

Whole days, always. A bar starting at the event's own start time would
move under the reader every time they adjusted it, and "busy from about a
third of the way along" is not a time anybody can read.

A week is as far as it goes. Something running longer is not an event
anybody is hunting a free slot in, and a month at eight pixels a day would
say nothing; it says how many days it left out instead.

The span is measured between two real midnights rather than counted in
24-hour days, because twice a year they differ, and every position on the
bar is a fraction of it.

The mock answered with a single busy block on the first day whatever range
it was asked for -- all a day-wide bar could show -- which would have left
a multi-day bar looking like everyone was free from the second day on. It
now answers across the range.

This is parts 1 and 2 of #172. The separate multi-day scheduling view it
also asks for is still open, and needs an answer first on what to show for
participants who have no free/busy to read.

jcoffey-dev 6431ec87f5 Import an iCal file into a calendar
An .ics reaches you by ways that are not your mailbox -- a ticketing
system a customer invited, a colleague's export, a booking confirmation
forwarded on -- and until now the only events ihasmail could take were the
ones attached to a message it had received.

The calendar's own menu now offers "Import iCAL file…", which files
everything in the file into that calendar. No global button: the issue is
right that this is not a frequent enough thing to earn one.

The parsing is the server's, through the same CalendarEvent/parse an
emailed invitation already goes through. An .ics is not a format worth
reimplementing in a browser, and Stalwart's reader handles what a
hand-rolled one would not.

Every event goes out in a single CalendarEvent/set. The round trips are
the smaller half of the reason: createEvent invalidates on the way out and
invalidating refetches every cached range, so a year of events imported
one at a time would refetch the calendar a few hundred times.

Nothing is mailed to anyone named in the file. Importing is filing
something you already have, and scheduling messages would be a surprise to
its participants.

The mock's parser read the whole file with one regex and returned one
event, which is all an invitation ever needed. It now reads per VEVENT, so
a multi-event file can be tested against it, and it invents an organiser
and an attendee only for events that carry a METHOD -- a plain export is
not addressed to anyone.

Closes #173
2026-09-01 08:38:06 -07:00
jcoffey-dev b862f61cde Invite the people the message was already between
Follow-up to #167: an event made from a mail now opens with the sender
and everyone it was addressed to already in the guest list, so a thread
becomes a meeting without retyping the room.

Two things are deliberately left out. The reader's own addresses, since
they are the organiser and an organiser among their own guests is an
invitation to your own appointment. And a blind copy, on a message the
reader sent: a guest list is visible to every guest, so promoting a Bcc
to a guest would tell the room about a copy the sender chose to hide.
That is not something a menu item may do quietly.

*Send invitation emails to guests* now starts off when the guests were
inherited rather than typed, and on everywhere else -- which is every
event whose guests somebody chose one at a time. The reason is the case
the issue opened with: a reminder made out of a bill carries the biller
and everyone else on the mail. Left on, the primary button reads Send
invites and the first press mails all of them an invitation to what was
meant as a note to self. The switch sits right there under the list and
says what it does, so inviting them is one deliberate click. Un-sending
is not.
2026-08-31 23:07:18 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 7ba749148f Make an event out of a message
Asked for in #167: a right-click on a mail that turns it into a calendar
entry, the way a bill or a task becomes a reminder. Nothing clever, and
deliberately so -- the subject becomes the title, the body becomes the
description, and the reader supplies the one thing the message cannot.

A due date is exactly that thing. "Due on the 14th" in an invoice is not
a date a parser could be trusted with, and a wrong guess quietly
scheduled is worse than no guess at all, so the editor opens on the next
half hour for an hour and the reader fixes it. Forward rather than now,
because a start time that has already passed by the time they press
Create is one more thing to correct.

The body is capped at 5000 characters. A newsletter is a message too,
and its whole body would be stored on the event, synced to every device,
and shown in a three-row textarea; what is worth keeping -- the amount,
the account, the address -- is near the top. The cut is marked, so a
truncated bill is not read as the whole of it.

One message only. The list menu acts on the selection everywhere else,
but there is no sensible event to make out of five mails, and the mobile
entry appears only when exactly one row is held.

The editor lives inside CalendarView and the reader is in the mail view
when they ask, so the draft waits in the calendar store until that view
mounts and takes it -- once, or it would reopen on every later visit.
It seeds a form rather than an event: the dialog still says New event
and still has to be pressed.

Called *Create event…* rather than "appointment", which is the word the
issue used: it opens the New event dialog, and each catalogue already
has its own settled noun for that -- Termin, événement, 日程.

Reachable three ways, since a phone has no right-click: the row context
menu, a message's ⋮, and the ⋮ of a held row on mobile. Hidden entirely
where the account has no calendar.

jcoffey-dev a6863e98cc Second extraction pass: the strings the codemod could not see
`i18n:coverage` reported 100% while a hundred-odd strings rendered
English in every language. It was not wrong about what it measured: it
reads JSX text, and none of these were JSX text. They were toast
arguments, `confirmDialog({ title, confirmLabel })` props, `title=` and
`aria-label=` attributes, and template literals — every one built from an
expression the codemod cannot read.

176 source strings and 15 plural sets now go through t() and plural(),
translated into all nine languages. Where English put a word in a slot,
the sentence is spelled out per branch instead: `Filter ${verb}` became
"Filter saved" and "Filter created", because which word agrees with what,
and where it sits, is not a property English gets to decide for everyone.
Counts that were `${n} message${n === 1 ? "" : "s"}` are plural() calls,
so Russian and Ukrainian get three forms and Japanese and Chinese get the
one they actually have.

Two of the catalogue's own conventions were worth learning the hard way.
Plural entries are keyed on the English *other* form, not `one` — `one`
is a form English happens to have and Japanese does not. And a constant
table holding English that is translated at the render site is fine: the
literal is a key, not a leak.

Which is what the new check encodes. `scripts/i18n-literals.mjs` accepts
a string that is wrapped where it is written or is a catalogue key
somewhere, and refuses one that is neither — a string no catalogue can
translate, however many languages ship. It found twenty more than my own
sweep had, including the stale-folder toast seen in production. It runs
as part of `npm run i18n:check`.

Also fixed: the catalogue is now awaited before the first paint. The
tree is rebuilt when a catalogue lands, so components recover on their
own, but a string computed in an effect does not — a toast fired in that
gap is emitted in English and stays English. The wait costs nothing
visible, since the session bootstrap already shows a spinner and English
resolves immediately.

And the Japanese agenda title loses a space Japanese does not use:
"{date} からの予定" was written with the English habit of spacing around
a placeholder.

jcoffey-dev f94cc2ce51 Translate the labels the extractor could not see
Three places built user-visible English out of expressions rather than
writing it as JSX text, so the extraction codemod never found them and
they stayed English in all nine languages — including the five that have
been in production for weeks.

The calendar view switcher was the worst of them: it spelled its labels
as `v[0].toUpperCase() + v.slice(1)`, which is correct English and
untranslatable anywhere else. Day, Week, Month and Agenda were already in
every catalogue, sitting unused, because the buttons never asked for
them. They now come from a Record<View, () => string>, so TypeScript
makes the map exhaustive and adding a view forces adding its label. The
labels are functions rather than values: a module-level object would
capture whichever language happened to load first and keep it.

The other two needed new source strings, added to all nine catalogues:
the composer's title for an untitled draft ("New message"), its status
line ("Sending…", "Saving…", "Error", "Saved {when}", "Unsaved"), and the
agenda view's own title ("Agenda from {date}").

This is not the whole of it. A sweep for the same shape — template
literals, toast arguments, and dialog props rather than JSX text — turns
up roughly a hundred more strings, mostly toasts and confirmation
dialogs. Those are a second extraction pass rather than a fix, and are
left for one.
2026-08-31 13:20:39 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 3f4b33cb51 Finish extraction: 100%, and a coverage number worth believing
The 143 the codemod refused turned out to be two different things, and only
one of them needed a person.

A third were phrases sitting next to an icon -- `<Plus /> New rule`. The
refusal rule was "has siblings", which is broader than the danger: what breaks
a translation is a sibling that renders *text*, splitting a sentence into
fragments no one can reorder. An element beside a phrase does not. Narrowing
the rule to text-producing siblings let the codemod take 73 more.

The rest were real sentences with values in the middle, rebuilt by hand as
named placeholders -- "Your active script “{name}” was written by hand",
"Waiting on the server — goes out {when}." Named rather than positional
because a translator moves the parts around; counted things go through
plural() so Russian and Ukrainian get their three forms rather than English's
two.

Sentences with an element inside them needed something new. `Open <code>mailto:
</code> links in ihasmail` has two obvious treatments and both are wrong:
splitting it into two t() calls hands over fragments that cannot be reordered,
and dropping the <code> keeps the sentence whole but loses the monospace that
said "this is a literal". tNode() keeps the sentence whole and makes the
element a named hole in it, so a translator sees one sentence and can put the
hole where their language wants it. The German test asserts exactly that: the
same call renders the code first when the catalogue says so.

The coverage number was also lying, and it is worth saying how. It counted
text inside <code> and inside translate="no" as untranslated work, and
placeholders like "123456" and "+1 555 0100" -- a one-time code and a phone
format. None of those will ever be translated, so the report sat at 21 with 6
real items left. A number with an unreachable floor is something to argue with
rather than act on, so the tool now applies the same rules the codemod does.

596 wrapped, nothing remaining. Verified in the browser across 15 views, which
is where the last bulk pass hid a bug the tests could not see: no entities, no
unfilled placeholders, no raw t( in rendered text, and the toggle switches that
looked like emptied labels are text-free by design.

jcoffey-dev 8ea611f7f7 Extract 515 strings by codemod, and the two bugs only a screenshot caught
Wrapping ~1,000 strings by hand is a thousand chances to mistype the copy
itself, and a parser does not get bored. scripts/i18n-extract.mjs does the
mechanical part -- JSX text and the attributes a person actually reads -- and
refuses the rest rather than guessing. 78% now: 515 wrapped, 143 left.

What it refuses matters as much as what it does. Text split around an
interpolation arrives as separate fragments, and wrapping each on its own
produces "Move " and " messages", which no translator can do anything with;
those are listed for a person to rebuild as sentences. So is anything
containing a double quote, which would end the literal.

Three things it had to be taught, each found by running it:

- <code>, <kbd> and <pre> are not prose. The first run wrapped `label:name`
  inside <code> -- a search operator, where translating it breaks the thing it
  documents. Subtrees marked translate="no" are skipped for the same reason.
- `t` is a natural name for a callback parameter and several files already use
  it, so an import called `t` is shadowed inside those callbacks -- silently,
  wherever the local happens to be callable. The name is checked per file now
  and aliased to `translate` where it is taken.
- JSX decodes HTML entities and a JS string literal does not, so
  `Language &amp; region` moved into t("...") and rendered the entity on screen.

That last one is the one worth remembering. Typecheck passed, 443 tests
passed, and the page said "Language &amp; region" in plain sight. It took
looking at a screenshot, and then a sweep of ten views to find the second
occurrence in a sentence I had written by hand earlier the same day. Nothing
in the toolchain was ever going to catch it: it is valid TypeScript rendering
valid text that happens to be wrong.

The codemod decodes entities now, and checks for a quote after decoding rather
than before.

jcoffey-dev be1d787b5f Defend against Chrome rewriting the DOM, and add the language setting
Groundwork for un-shelving translations. Chrome's translator rewrites the
rendered DOM directly, wrapping text nodes in <font> elements React has never
heard of, and the next update can then call removeChild against a parent whose
children have moved (facebook/react#11538). This is the structural defence
against that, plus the setting the served language will read from.

The language setting is `uiLanguage`, and it is deliberately not the `locale`
field that already exists. That one is a formatting choice -- what calendar,
clock and numerals to use -- and folding the two together would silently
rewrite everybody's date format the first time they picked a language. German
dates with an English interface is a real preference, and so is the reverse.
It defaults to English when absent, which covers both a new account and every
settings file written before this, and Accept-Language is not consulted: a
served locale should be something the reader chose rather than something
guessed and then written down as though they had. Only languages with strings
shipped are offered, which today means English alone -- a picker entry without
a catalogue behind it would leave the page claiming a language it is not in,
which stops a reader translating a page they cannot read.

`<html lang>` is set where applyTheme is set: at store module load, from the
localStorage cache, before createRoot() has rendered anything. Not in an
effect -- a lang that is briefly wrong is enough to raise the translate prompt
on a page that needed none. There is no server-rendered alternative to reach
for here: ihasmail serves a static shell and holds no account state, and the
settings file lives in the reader's own JMAP Files, so reading it before the
page existed would mean authenticating to Stalwart on every page load. The
static lang="en" in index.html covers the first bytes; the store only ever
corrects a reader who chose otherwise. Both halves are tested.

translate="no" and class="notranslate" go on the narrow boundaries only:
rendered email bodies, raw message source, attachment text, the generated and
hand-edited Sieve, the brand and the login name. Not on <body> -- someone
whose language ihasmail does not speak yet should still be able to translate
the parts that are ours. Email bodies turn out to live in a shadow root, so
React never reconciles them and they were never a crash risk; the marker there
is about not rewriting what a sender actually wrote.

Twenty-four fragile interpolation points were found with the TypeScript
parser rather than grep, and fifteen refactored. Pluralisation and
"count + label" pairs are collapsed into a single expression so the text is a
lone child React updates with textContent, rather than a text node with
conditional siblings to insert around. One of them -- InviteCard's
{method === "REPLY" && organizer ? "" : ""} -- rendered an empty string either
way and is simply gone.

The boundary is scoped to the main content, so the header, folder tree and any
open composer sit outside it and survive independently. It recovers by
remounting the subtree, which costs nothing because everything inside
re-derives from the stores, and it logs at info rather than error: a reader
translating a page is expected and recovered from, and filing it as an error
would put an entry in every console-reading reporter for behaviour that
worked. It re-raises anything that is not a DOM mutation error, so a real bug
still surfaces as one, and it gives up after three attempts rather than
looping invisibly.

Worth recording: the crash could not be reproduced on React 19.2.8. Wrapping
207-249 React-managed text nodes in <font>, exactly as the translator does,
then driving in-place conditional toggles and navigations, left the app intact
with the boundary never firing. The original issue is from React 16 and the
reconciler has changed a great deal since. So this lands as defence whose
premise is weaker than assumed rather than as a fix for something observed
here, and the boundary is insurance rather than a load-bearing part. The
notranslate markers and the collapsed interpolations stand on their own merits
either way.

jcoffey-dev 5ced44ec13 Calendar: drop the per-event colour picker, which categories replaced
A category carries a colour. Offering a separate colour picker beside it
made two ways to say the same thing, and they could disagree: an explicit
colour wins over the category's in `eventColor`, so an event could be
filed under Work and drawn in the Travel colour with nothing on the menu
explaining why.

Categories are the one that carries meaning, so the swatch grid goes and
picking a category is how an event gets a colour.

Clearing an explicit colour stays, and only appears when there is one to
clear. An event that already has one - set before this, or by another
client, or by CalDAV - would otherwise ignore its category for ever with
no way to fix it from here. Same reasoning as leaving "Stop sharing" on a
folder whose share nobody can see: the escape hatch is worth most exactly
when the thing it undoes is invisible.

Nothing reads differently for events without an explicit colour, and
`CALENDAR_COLORS` is untouched - categories, labels and mailboxes all
still pick from it.

jcoffey-dev dd8998f178 Calendar: edit and delete a single occurrence
Closes #132.

Stalwart 0.16.20 accepts a synthetic id on `CalendarEvent/set`, writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry rather than touching the series, so editing
one date of a recurring event is now something the server does and this
does too.

Editing asks the scope *before* the form opens, because it decides which
event the form is even about: a form populated from the master shows the
series' start date, so editing Wednesday's standup would have offered to
move Monday's. Deleting asks in place of the old confirm.

The patch is narrowed rather than posted hopefully. 0.16.20 sorts
per-occurrence properties into three groups and only one is honest: ten
are refused with `invalidProperties`, twelve more are dropped from the
patch while the response still reports success, and the rest are applied.
That silent middle group is how #26 reached a live server - a successful
response is not evidence anything was written - so `occurrencePatch`
throws on the first group, reports the second to the caller, and the
editor leaves out the five it always sends. A patch that would be
entirely dropped is not sent at all.

The refusal for an occurrence of a this-and-future change offers the
series instead of a bare error toast. Nothing here writes one of those,
but an event synced from another client can carry one.

Two things the scope prompt cost, both worth knowing. A dialog is queued
in a store the moment it is asked for, so it outlives the effect that
asked: without a ref guard a remount queues a second prompt the first
answer cannot retract. And gating the *answer* on the effect's cleanup
flag is worse - StrictMode runs mount, cleanup, mount, so the flag is
already set by the time anyone clicks and the editor never opens.

The mock expands recurrences for the first time, which is what makes any
of this developable. It hands out synthetic ids for everything including
one-offs, gives occurrences a `recurrenceId` and no rule, and reproduces
the refusals - including the silent drops, since a mock that applied them
would let a client that sends them look correct everywhere but a real
server.

jcoffey-dev 373822c2ae Resolve the base event id in the calendar store, not at the call sites
Closes #133.

`updateEvent`, `destroyEvent` and `rsvp` took an id and sent it. The
`baseEventId ?? id` that made them hit the series lived at four call
sites instead, and every one of them happened to be right.

That was backstopped by the server until now. Through 0.16.19 a synthetic
id reaching `destroy` came back as "Deleting synthetic ids is not yet
supported" and the user saw a toast. 0.16.20 accepts it and removes one
date instead, reporting success under a dialog that said "Delete all
occurrences?" - so a forgotten `??` became silent data loss rather than
an error.

The three methods now take the event and a required `scope`, and there is
exactly one place that turns an event into an id. A caller that wants the
series cannot get an occurrence by forgetting anything; a caller that
wants one occurrence has to say so.

`rsvp` takes the event rather than an id for the same reason, and no
longer looks it up: its patch is `participants/{key}/participationStatus`,
which is one of the pointers 0.16.20 *allows* on an occurrence, so aimed
at an instance it would quietly mean "only that day".

`findByUid` says in a comment that its query omits `expandRecurrences` on
purpose, since InviteCard hands the result straight to `destroyEvent`.

jcoffey-dev 9544fa5f12 Let the owner stop sharing a calendar or an address book
Revoking a share meant opening the share dialog, removing each person
from it in turn, and saving. That is the right tool for changing who has
access and the wrong one for withdrawing it altogether, which is the more
urgent of the two and the one someone is likely to want in a hurry.

Both now offer "Stop sharing" in the context menu, which clears the lot
after a confirmation saying how many people lose access. It appears only
when there is something to revoke, so the menu says whether a thing is
shared as well as offering to change it.

A calendar also says it is shared now. Address books have carried that
badge since they gained sharing; calendars never did, so the only way to
find out was to open the dialog and look -- which for the owner of a
dozen calendars means opening a dozen dialogs.

Both go through the existing update paths, so a server that refuses is
reported rather than swallowed.

Verified against the mock, both kinds: sharing one shows the badge and
adds the entry, confirming clears `shareWith`, the badge goes, and the
entry disappears with it since there is no longer anything to stop.
2026-08-27 13:11:21 -07:00
jcoffey-dev 5e5bec31b7 Remember an added address book when the server will not
"You are not allowed to modify this address book." That is Stalwart's
answer to a sharee subscribing to a book shared read-only, and it is a
fair one: `isSubscribed` lives on the collection rather than on the
reader, so adding one is a write to the *owner's* account. The identical
write on a shared calendar is accepted. The difference is the server's.

So the flag is still asked for first -- a preference the server holds is
one every client agrees about -- and when it is refused the answer goes
in the reader's own synced settings instead, as `addedShares`, keyed by
account and collection. Either record counts as added, and the rule has
a test of its own because three components ask the question and they
must not drift apart.

Two things about how this hid. The refusal arrives as a *successful*
response with the id in `notUpdated`, so the version that ignored it saw
nothing wrong and the button simply did nothing -- fixed a commit ago,
and it is what turned "the + does nothing in Firefox" into a sentence
from the server. And it cannot be seen from the owner's account at all,
where the write succeeds: it took two browsers signed in as two accounts
to find, which is why it survived every check made from one.

The mock refuses the same write for the same reason. One that accepted
it would have gone on agreeing with the belief that shipped.

Verified against it: adding the shared book is refused by the server,
recorded in settings, and the book moves to "Shared with me" with its
contacts reaching the To field; removing undoes all three; and it
survives a full page reload, which is the point of putting it where the
settings live rather than in this tab.

jcoffey-dev 0215255280 Add a shared calendar or address book, rather than being given it
An account linked for its files also offered its calendar and its address
book, and neither had been shared. That was not ihasmail inventing them:
asked about the other account, the live 0.16.19 returns every calendar
and every book it holds, each with full rights -- read, write, share,
delete, all true. There is nothing in the rights to tell "shared with me"
from "reachable at all", because the server does not distinguish them.

`isSubscribed` does, and it is the field JMAP has for exactly this: it
came back false on all of them. So a shared calendar or book is listed
under "Shared with me" once the reader has added it, and under "Available
to add" until then, with one button either way.

Nothing unsubscribed contributes anything. A calendar that has not been
added draws no events, and a book that has not been added lends no cards
to the To field -- which is the one that mattered most, since it is the
difference between offering a colleague's contacts and offering a
stranger's without anyone having asked.

The mock's shared calendar and address book now arrive unsubscribed, the
way the real server hands them over, so the adding is exercised rather
than skipped; and its `Calendar/set` and `AddressBook/set` route by
account, since subscribing to somebody else's is a write to their
account and the mock had nowhere to put it.

Verified against the mock: the shared calendar sits under "Available to
add" with no events in the grid, adding it moves it to "Shared with me"
and its events appear, removing it undoes both; and `suggest("katherine")`
finds nothing until the shared book is added, then finds her.

jcoffey-dev 270fb3d32c Shared calendars in the calendar, and no more account switcher
Three things from using it on two real accounts.

A calendar shared with you never appeared. Nothing was wrong with the
share -- the calendar had nowhere to be shown. Calendars loaded from one
account and one only, so the sharer's were reachable solely by switching
the whole app to their account, which is the door being closed below.
They now sit under "Shared with me" beside the reader's own, in their own
colour, with their events in the grid and a click to hide them like any
other calendar.

Their events go through `instancesIn`, the one funnel every view already
reads, so month, week, day and agenda got them without being touched.
Events and calendars from another account are keyed by account as well as
id, and hiding one is remembered under the same key: an id means nothing
outside the account holding it, and two accounts sharing an id is
ordinary rather than unlucky.

An account that shared nothing was listed in Files as though it had.
Every non-personal account was offered on the reasoning that its folders
could speak for themselves -- but an account whose *calendar* was shared
has no folders to speak with, and appeared as an invitation to open an
empty pane. Each is now asked for one file before being listed, and
silence is taken for an answer.

And the account switcher is gone from the profile menu. It existed to
reach what other people shared and was the wrong door: it moved the whole
app to somebody else's account, and since Stalwart advertises every
capability on a shared account, mail, calendar and contacts went with it
and were refused. Everything it was for is now in the module the share
belongs to, found without anyone needing to know an account was involved.

What this does not prove is that Stalwart delivers a calendar share at
all. The mock says the client handles one, which is the half that was
missing; whether the server behaves like address books, which work, or
like mail folders, which do not, needs the two accounts again.
2026-08-27 10:57:27 -07:00
jcoffey-dev c1ef19849e Say it in the words Stalwart 0.16 answers to
Guests added to an event vanished on save and no invitation was ever
sent. Not a guard in the editor, and nothing the server complained
about: ihasmail addresses a participant the way RFC 8984 does, with
sendTo and email, and Stalwart 0.16 keeps that address under
calendarAddress. Handed the RFC's spelling it stores the event, drops
the entire participant map, and reports success. Six shapes were tried
against a live 0.16.19, down to sendTo and roles alone; all six were
dropped, and patching a participant onto an existing event fails
outright with "Patch operation failed".

The same disagreement runs through two more properties. The organizer is
organizerCalendarAddress, not replyTo. A recurrence is a single
recurrenceRule, not a recurrenceRules array — and that one Stalwart
refuses honestly, with invalidProperties, so no recurring event could be
created at all and existing ones showed no repeat.

So writes now use Stalwart's names and reads accept either, since a
mailbox may hold events written by other clients. The mock now refuses
what the real server refuses and drops what it drops: advertising the
RFC spelling is exactly how this reached a live server unnoticed, the
same way the capability-placement bug did.

Verified against 0.16.19: participants, organizer and rule all survive a
create, an update and a re-read, with the roles kept as sent.

jcoffey-dev 8b22ea9aab Stop calling every event a series
A one-time event opened for editing said "this is a recurring event —
changes apply to the whole series", and deleting one offered to delete
all occurrences of an event that has exactly one.

Three places asked whether an event had a baseEventId and took that for
recurrence. It isn't: the calendar loads its range with expandRecurrences,
and Stalwart puts a baseEventId on everything it returns that way, a
one-off pointing at itself included. The mock never sets the field at
all, which is why this only showed up against a real server.

They now share isRecurring(), which asks about recurrence rules, and
treats a base that is some other event as an occurrence of a series too
— so an expanded instance that travels without its rules is still
described honestly on the way to being deleted.

jcoffey-dev 2518605126 Custom date and time pickers that follow the configured format
Browsers render <input type="date"> and datetime-local in their own locale and
ignore the page's, so #1 left a German user on an English browser reading
22.11.2025 everywhere but still entering dates through an mm/dd/yyyy widget.
#3 makes the case that people use the picker rather than typing, which is
where the AM/PM mistakes happen.

New DateField and DateTimeField (web/src/ui/datefield.tsx) replace all nine
native controls — event editor (all-day and timed start/end, recurrence
until), out-of-office, contact birthday, advanced search. They take and emit
the same ISO strings the native inputs did, so call sites barely changed.

Each is a text box in the configured order plus a popover: a month grid
(week start from settings, locale weekday and month names, today and the
selection marked) and, for date-times, a list of times in the configured
clock. Keyboard: arrows move by day, PageUp/PageDown by month, Home/End
across the week, Enter picks, Escape closes, ArrowDown opens; the focused day
holds DOM focus so screen readers follow, and the dialog has an accessible
name (Popover gained an ariaLabel prop).

Text entry is lenient — the configured order with any separator, unseparated
digits (221125), day and month alone, non-Latin digits, and bare ISO always;
times take 18:23, 1823, 6:23pm, 930. What will not parse reverts on blur
rather than clearing the field, and impossible dates like 31 February are
rejected instead of rolling into March.

Editable boxes stay Gregorian and Latin-digit even where display does not
(fa-IR, th-TH, ar-EG): the locale's field order and separator are kept, but a
Buddhist-era year in a text box cannot round-trip against a Gregorian grid.
Noted in the README.

The out-of-office format echo added in #2 is gone — the fields now show the
right format themselves.

jcoffey-dev d82ff15921 Configurable date and time formats, defaulting to the Stalwart locale
Every user-visible date now goes through web/src/lib/datetime.ts, driven by
three settings (Settings > General > Locale):

- Language & region: automatic, or any of the 618 locales CLDR has data for,
  each named in its own language and script (web/src/lib/locales.ts, generated
  by probing Intl over the subtag space).
- Date format: automatic (locale order), 22.11.2025, 22/11/2025, 11/22/2025,
  or ISO 8601 2025-11-22.
- Time format: automatic (locale), 24-hour, or 12-hour.

Automatic takes the locale Stalwart has for the account, read best-effort at
login via x:Account/get (urn:stalwart:jmap) and passed to the client in the
session; servers without the capability, or that deny sysAccountGet to a
regular user, fall back to the browser locale. POSIX forms are normalised
(de_DE.UTF-8 -> de-DE) and script modifiers kept (sr_RS@latin -> sr-Latn-RS,
uz_UZ@cyrillic -> uz-Cyrl-UZ), while dialect/variant/currency modifiers are
dropped and a script the locale already implies is not appended.

Numerals follow the locale (22.11.2025 renders as Arabic-Indic digits under
ar-EG); ISO 8601 is the exception and pins date and clock to Latin digits so
one line never mixes digit systems.

Rewired: message list and headers, quoted reply headers, calendar (titles,
weekday and hour gutters, mini calendar, agenda, popovers, invite cards,
free/busy), contacts, files, sessions. No raw toLocale*String date calls are
left in web/src.

Native <input type="datetime-local"> pickers always follow the browser locale
and cannot be restyled by a page, so the out-of-office fields echo the entered
instant in the chosen format underneath.

Also: month-grid day labels no longer wrap when they hold a date, and the mock
server serves x:Account/get (MOCK_LOCALE, default en_US).
