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. |

Name the push verification entry absolutely, from both sides
A JMAP push subscription stays silent until the client echoes back a verification code. When the code arrives with no tab open, the service worker leaves it in the cache for the next tab to collect. Both sides named that entry relatively, and a relative key is resolved against the URL of whoever is asking. The worker lives at <base>/sw.js, so it wrote under <base>/; a tab at /mail/inbox/abc looked under /mail/inbox/. They agreed only when the open page happened to be the root, which is why this survived: the case that works is the one people try first. The failure is quiet in the worst way. A subscription that never gets its code back simply never delivers, which is indistinguishable from push not working at all -- there is no error anywhere to notice. Both sides now build the key from the mount: the worker from the BASE it already derives from its own location, the page through withBase. Found while adding BASE_PATH, where the two disagree at every route rather than only at deep ones; left alone then because it was pre-existing and unrelated to that change. |

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. |

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. |

Six palettes, each with a light half and a dark one
The theme was one enum -- system, light, dark, ihasmail -- where one value carried a whole palette and implied dark. That works for exactly one palette. The two questions now come apart: which palette, and which side. Classic is the plain light and dark this app has always had. ihasmail's own palette gains a day version, so the background of the dark one becomes the text of the light one and the two read as one palette from either end. Dracula, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine and Tokyo Night are the work of their own projects, used under the MIT licence, and taken from each project's own repository rather than from anyone's reimplementation. What was fetched is recorded in .palette-sources/ and credited in NOTICE. Giving ihasmail's palette a light half removed a whole special case. Nothing is one-sided any more, so a palette can no longer override the mode, the toggle no longer has to set a palette aside on the way to light and remember it, and the greyed-out control that explained all that is gone. The old lastDarkTheme, which existed only for that, is gone with it. The shades between the published colours are derived rather than guessed: these projects publish twelve to twenty values and ihasmail needs about thirty. scripts/build-palettes.py computes the tiers and then measures every text colour against the surface it sits on -- 4.5:1 for prose, 3:1 for borders and marks -- lifting anything short towards white on a dark ground and towards black on a light one, so a lifted tier keeps its hue. It refuses to write a palette that would not pass. Every one of the nine halves needed at least one lift. These palettes are built for code editors, not for prose at this size: Dracula's comment grey is 3.03:1 on its own background and Rosé Pine's gold is 2.7:1 on Dawn. Shipping them as published would have quietly ended the WCAG AA claim. Two things caught while checking rather than while writing. The generated blocks were appended to the end of the stylesheet, which put them after the accent variants at equal specificity -- so choosing an accent over one of the new palettes did nothing at all. They now sit before those rules, where the existing ihasmail block's own comment says they have to. And that block was unqualified, so it would have shadowed the new light half; it is now explicitly the dark one. Settings written before this carry `theme` and no palette, and are read through the old enum. `theme` is still written back, derived, because a device on an older build reads it and would otherwise be stranded on a theme nobody chose. |

Let the message list be sorted by something other than the date
Newest-first was the only order, so the mail you had not read yet was wherever it happened to fall. Seven presets and up to three levels of your own. It covers the Inbox alone by default: unread-first is what people want in the folder they triage and confusing in Sent, where everything is read and the order that matters is when it went. Search keeps newest-first whatever the setting says, since a result list is already ordered by the question that was asked. The server does the sorting, over the whole folder, for the same reason search runs there: a list sorted in the browser is sorted only as far as the browser has loaded, which on a folder of ten thousand is the first fifty and a lie about the rest. Two details that are easy to get wrong and were worth pinning in tests. hasKeyword sorts a boolean and false comes before true, so "unread first" is $seen ASCENDING while "starred first" is $flagged DESCENDING -- the other way round. Getting either backwards puts exactly the mail you were looking for at the bottom. And every order ends with newest-first as a tiebreak, because a sort whose last level is a keyword or a subject leaves every tie undefined, and an undefined order changes between two looks at the same folder for no reason the reader can see. Sorting on a keyword is optional in RFC 8621, and a server that will not do it fails the whole query rather than degrading it -- so this setting could turn a folder into one that does not open. The refusal is caught once, the keyword levels dropped and the query retried, and nothing is said: the reader asked for an order and got the closest the server can give, and a toast on every folder change would be the app complaining about its own request. The mock now honours the sort instead of always answering newest-first, which had it reproducing a server that silently returns a different order from the one asked for -- the one shape of wrongness a client cannot detect. MOCK_NO_KEYWORD_SORT=1 reproduces a server that refuses the keyword sorts, so the fallback can be developed against. |

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. |

Open winmail.dat
Outlook sending in Rich Text packs every attachment into one TNEF blob. Every other client shows a single unopenable winmail.dat, and the files inside it are gone as far as the reader is concerned -- which is a decoding problem rather than a mail one. Written from the published format: a signature, a key, then a flat run of attributes, each one a level byte, a 32-bit id carrying its own type, a length, the data and a checksum. Attachments are delimited by attAttachRenddata rather than named, which is why the parse is a small state machine. The MAPI property stream inside attAttachment is read for two properties: the long filename and the MIME type. attAttachTitle carries an 8.3 name, so a file that arrived as "Quarterly Report Final.docx" is QUARTE~1.DOC there and correct here. The stream stops at a named property (id >= 0x8000) rather than guessing past it, since those carry a GUID before their value and nothing after one can be trusted to stay aligned. Decoded in the browser, on request. The server never sees the contents and has nowhere to keep a decoded copy; doing the work on sight would spend the bandwidth whether or not anybody wanted what is inside. A blob that goes wrong part-way through keeps what was read before that point, whether it ran out or the checksum stopped matching. Half the attachments beats none: the alternative is a reader who can see the file is there and cannot have it. The original stays attached either way. The message body is deliberately not decoded. TNEF can also carry it as compressed RTF, which is a second format again for a body the reader already has in plain text or HTML nine times in ten. The mock now sends one, built by its own encoder rather than by the parser's fixtures, so the two are independent implementations of the same description. |

Nest labels, and let each one say how prominent it is
A flat list is fine at five labels and unreadable at thirty, and there was no way to keep one that matters occasionally without it holding a row for ever. A label can now sit under another, and each says whether it belongs in the sidebar always, only while it has unread mail, or never. Nesting is display only. The keywords stay flat on the message, which is what keeps them readable by every other client: moving a label under another rewrites nothing in the mailbox, and a client that knows nothing about ihasmail sees exactly what it always did. Both new fields are optional, so a settings file written before this parses unchanged and means what it did. Settings sync between devices, so the tree has to survive shapes that should not exist. A label whose parent was deleted on another device comes back to the top level rather than vanishing -- a label that disappears because something else was deleted is one the reader cannot get back. A cycle arriving from an older device is broken by treating the label that closes the loop as a root, so nothing is lost and nothing hangs. The parent picker will not offer a label's own descendants, so one cannot be built here in the first place. A label kept by the unread rule keeps its ancestors, whatever they were set to. A child cannot be drawn under a parent that is not there, and promoting it to the top level would silently rearrange the tree at the moment the reader is least able to explain why. The parent comes back as a container instead, and its own count still says whether it has anything of its own. Unread counts come from one request carrying a query per label rather than a request each, with limit 0 so the server does not send ids that would only be thrown away. They refresh on the same beat as the folder counts, since the things that move them are the same things, and a failure is swallowed: a count is decoration, and the sidebar draws the label without one. Also corrects the Labels page, which said names and colours are kept in this browser. They live in the account's own Files and follow it between devices, like every other setting that is not about this screen. |

Warn about outside senders, large sends and links that mislead
Four warnings, in Privacy & safety, and all of them start switched off. That is not timidity. A client that begins by interrupting is one people learn to click through, and a warning clicked through without reading costs the same attention and buys nothing. The outside-sender warning could not be on by default in any case: it measures against the domains that count as yours, and with nothing configured every message in the mailbox is from outside. Your own identity domains are always internal and are not configuration. An account signed in as [email protected] warning that example.com is external would be absurd, and making it be typed in first is a foot-gun that leaves the feature useless the moment it is enabled. Configured domains are additional, and cover their subdomains -- matched on a dot boundary, so example.com covers mail.example.com and not notexample.com, which is exactly the domain somebody registers on purpose. The four: A banner names the sender's domain on a message from outside. Sending outside names the outside recipients and asks, rather than refusing. "This is going outside" is a rule and not something the sender can check; a list of addresses is. It reads the full identity list rather than the visible one, since hiding an identity from the From menu does not make its domain somebody else's. Sending to a large group asks once the count crosses a threshold, which is what catches a reply-all onto a long thread. It counts people rather than headers, so one address in To and nine in Cc is a message to ten. Opening a link asks when the destination is not trusted, and always when the link's text names one domain while its destination is another -- even where that destination is trusted, because being trusted is not the same as being the place the text claimed. On that mismatch the offer to trust the domain is withheld: what would be trusted is the destination, and the destination is not the thing in question. Anything that is not http or https is left alone, since warning about a mailto: is noise and noise is how a warning stops being read. Both bodies are covered, because a link in a plain-text mail is linkified by us and points wherever it likes just as readily as one the sender marked up. The click is cancelled and the navigation re-issued after the answer, since there is no way to hold a real navigation open across a dialog. The reopen runs in the continuation of the dialog's own click, which is still the gesture a popup blocker wants to see. |

Serve ihasmail from a subpath
`BASE_PATH=/mail` mounts the whole app under a prefix, for a host that is not
ihasmail's alone. Unset -- every deployment that exists -- is the domain root
and is byte-for-byte what it was: the canonical form of the setting is the
empty string, and `""` concatenated onto `/api/health` is `/api/health`.
That choice of canonical form is the whole design. A trailing slash would have
been the obvious alternative, and it fails quietly in exactly one place: at the
root it makes `//api/health`, which is not a path on this host but a
protocol-relative URL to a host called `api`. One call site forgetting to
branch is a request leaving the origin. So the empty string, one leading slash,
no trailing one, worked out once in `scripts/basePath.mjs` -- plain JS, next to
`version.mjs`, because the web build and the server both have to reach the same
answer and two implementations of "what does /mail/ mean" is precisely the bug
where the server serves an app whose script tags point somewhere else.
`/mail`, `mail`, `/mail/` and `//mail//` all mean the same mount; a deployment
should not fail over a trailing slash.
Unlike everything else ihasmail is told, this one cannot wait for the process
to start. The bundle writes its own asset URLs into index.html, so `BASE_PATH`
is read at build time for Vite's `base` as well as at run time for the routes,
and the Dockerfile carries one value into both. Get them out of step and the
page comes up blank with a 404 in a console nobody has open -- so the static
handler, which is reading index.html anyway, checks what it asks for and says
so in the log once per build.
Everything moves together. The API mounts at `${base}/api`; the router is
given the base once, so every `<Route path>` and `<Link href>` stays written
root-absolute and wouter does the rest; `apiFetch` adds the prefix in one place
rather than at forty call sites; the session cookie's Path narrows to the mount
so two instances on one host cannot sign each other out.
Two things need no prefix at all, and it is worth saying why they were not
given one. A manifest's members resolve against the manifest's own address, so
relative URLs there follow the mount with nothing substituted at build time --
which is also why `public/` needed no template step. The service worker is the
same trick: it is served from the mount, so `new URL("./", self.location)`
tells it where that is, and a worker that derives the value cannot disagree
with the page that registered it.
Anything outside the mount is a 404 rather than the app shell, and
`stripBasePath` does not use `startsWith` -- under `/mail` this process shares
a hostname, and answering `/mailbox` with our index would shadow a neighbour
instead of letting it 404 honestly. For the same reason the notification-click
handler now checks the path as well as the origin: `includeUncontrolled` widens
`matchAll` to the whole origin, which off the root would have navigated a
stranger's tab to our inbox.
Inline images in a draft were the one silent trap. They are matched by their
blob URL on the way out, once unanchored and once anchored, and a bare
`/api/blob/` still appears inside `/mail/api/blob/...` -- so one pattern would
have replaced the tail and left `/mail` in front of a `cid:`, and the other
would have missed and sent the message linking to the sender's own webmail.
Both patterns are built from the base now.

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. |

Archive into a dated folder
Archiving put everything in one folder, so an Archive that has been collecting for years is a single flat list with no way to narrow it except search. Archive by year and Archive by month file into Archive/2026 and Archive/2026/09, creating the folders as needed and reusing them after that, including folders made by hand or by another client. The names are numeric and zero-padded rather than month names, because these are real server-side mailboxes rather than anything of ihasmail's. Every other client sees them: a folder created as "September" by someone reading in English stays "September" for the same account read in Japanese, since the name is stored and not translated. And 09 sorts between 08 and 10 where a name does not. The date is read in the reader's own timezone rather than UTC so it agrees with the date shown against the message in the list. A message that arrived at 00:30 UTC on 1 September is dated 31 August in New York, and filing it under 09 while the list says August would be the app disagreeing with itself. A message whose date cannot be read goes to Archive itself rather than to a folder named after a guess. A selection spanning two months is two destinations, not one. The moves are made silently and one toast names where everything went -- the folder where there is a single answer, the count where there is not -- because each group raising its own toast with its own Undo would mean undoing a third of a move. One Undo restores the whole selection to wherever each message came from, captured before anything moved. The menu labels name the destination where there is one, so it reads "Archive to 2026/09" rather than describing the rule, and falls back to "Archive by month" for a selection with no single answer. |

Forward a message as an attachment
Forwarding quoted the original into a new message, which is the right thing for passing on something to be read and the wrong thing for passing on something to be looked at. Quoting rewrites the body, drops the headers, and re-parents the attachments, so a bounce, a phishing report or anything else where the message itself is the evidence arrived altered. Forward as attachment sends the message whole, as a message/rfc822 part. It costs no upload at all: a message's own blobId is its RFC822 blob and already lives in the account, so this goes through the same by-reference path as attach-from-Files and a 40 MB message attaches as fast as a small one. It is in the message's own menu, the list's right-click menu, and the overflow on the reply strip at the foot of a thread, which is the one a thumb finds on a phone. Two things fixed on the way, both exposed rather than introduced by this. The filename rule was subject.replace(/[^\w.-]+/g, "_"), and \w without the u flag is ASCII: every character of a Russian, Japanese or Chinese subject failed the class, so those messages downloaded as a row of underscores. What is actually unsafe in a filename is much shorter than "not ASCII" -- path separators, the names Windows reserves, the control range -- so the rule now keeps letters from any script and drops only those. It lives in one place and the .eml download uses it too. And the composer's attachment chip set overflow/text-overflow on a span, where neither does anything, so the name never truncated and the size ran on after it on the same line. Only long names showed it, which is every .eml named from a subject. |

Show what the spam filter said, in the message details
The filter in front of the mailbox scores every delivered message and writes its working into headers, and none of it was being read. A message in Junk gave no reason for being there. Nothing here scores anything. The headers are parsed and shown, so this cannot disagree with the filter that actually made the decision. Two formats cover what sits in front of a Stalwart mailbox in practice: the SpamAssassin-shaped X-Spam-* set, which Stalwart's own filter writes, and Rspamd's X-Spamd-Result. A header in neither shape is left unread rather than guessed at, since a misparsed score shown confidently is worse than no panel at all. Mail that arrived without any of them shows nothing. Rules are listed largest mover first and signed, because which way a rule pushed is the point, and the biggest contributor is the answer to why the message scored what it did. Two things it deliberately will not do. A score is always given the threshold it was measured against, because 6.7 is damning against 5 and unremarkable against 15 -- the number alone is not something a reader can act on; where no threshold was stated, it says so rather than implying one. And where the filter recorded no verdict, none is derived from score against threshold: the filter applies policy we cannot see, and putting a verdict in its mouth would be inventing one. The mock writes the same headers at delivery -- spam in Junk, clean in the Inbox, nothing on mail this account wrote -- so the panel can be developed and demoed against it. |

Fill placeholders when a template is inserted
Templates were a fixed subject and body, so anything that changed per message -- who it is going to, today's date -- had to be typed over afterwards. Eight names are recognised: recipientName, recipientFirstName, recipientEmail, myName, myEmail, subject, date and time. Dates and times go through datetime.ts rather than toLocaleDateString, so a template follows the date order and clock the app was already told to use. Filling happens on insert rather than on send. What a placeholder came to is then visible in the composer and can be edited, instead of the message changing between writing it and sending it. Two things are deliberately left alone. A placeholder that cannot be answered yet -- a recipient's name on a draft nobody has addressed -- stays in the body as written, because substituting an empty string produces "Hi ,", which is wrong rather than visibly unfinished; leaving the name says which word is still missing and can be typed over. And a name that is not a placeholder is left as written too, since a body that quietly ate an unrecognised token would be worse than one that shows it. Values are escaped on the way into HTML: a display name comes from a contact card or a typed address and is not trusted markup. |

Select more than one file at a time
Moving or deleting five files meant doing it five times, each with its own confirm. Rows now select the way they do in a file manager: a plain click replaces the selection, ctrl or cmd adds and removes one, shift takes the run from the last row clicked, clicking past the last row or pressing Escape clears it. Two or more selected raises a bar with Move to... and Delete, and the row menu offers the same for the whole selection. The move is one `FileNode/set` rather than a loop, and not only for the round trip: a loop would apply half the moves and then throw, leaving a selection split across two folders with nothing saying which half went. One call is one answer, and `notUpdated` names whatever the server refused. Right-clicking inside the selection acts on all of it; right-clicking outside means you meant that row, so the selection follows the pointer rather than the menu quietly applying to something off-screen. A drag carries the whole selection the same way, which is why the payload is now a list -- and why a drop is refused unless every file in it can land, since a drag that moves four of five and skips the fifth is worse than one that will not start. A selection belongs to the folder it was made in, so changing folder or account drops it: rows left selected off-screen make the delete two folders later a surprise. |

Read a Markdown file as the document it is
A .md previewed as its own source, which is reading the punctuation rather than the notes. It now opens rendered, with Rendered | Source in the dialog footer for anyone who wants what the file actually says. Markdown only; a .txt has nothing to toggle between. Rendering is `marked`, sanitised by DOMPurify -- the one the app already carries for mail. Markdown is not a safe subset of anything: raw HTML passes through it by design, so a <script> in a file somebody uploaded or shared into the account is a script tag unless something takes it out. Images become links rather than pictures. An image in a Markdown file is either a relative path, which has no base to resolve against here, or a URL somewhere else, which fetches on open and tells that server the file was read -- the tracking pixel this app blocks in mail. The link keeps the alt text and the address, so nothing vanishes silently. Fixes the PDF preview while here, which never worked: securityHeaders put X-Frame-Options: DENY on every response including the blob route, so the iframe showed Chrome's "refused to connect" where the file should have been -- in Files today and in mail attachments long before that. The middleware now leaves a header the route has set, and a PDF served inline says SAMEORIGIN. Nothing else on the server is framable. |

Look at a file without downloading it first
Files could only hand you the bytes: double-clicking a picture put it on disk and left you to find it. The viewer for this already existed -- images, PDFs and text, in the attachment preview in MessageView -- it was just wired to one screen. It is now a component both screens use. Two things it needed before it was any use on Files. The type detection falls back to the file name: an upload carries whatever the browser guessed, which for anything unusual is application/octet-stream, so the old exact-type check saw nothing to show in a .md that had just been uploaded. And text is read with fetch, which ignores Content-Disposition, so Markdown previews even though the server will not serve it inline. Whether we can show a file and whether the server will serve it inline are separate questions, and lib/preview.ts answers them separately: `openableInTab` mirrors the isInlineSafe allowlist in the blob route, because navigating to a blob the server will not inline just starts a download. SVG is left out of both -- it carries script, and how to show one safely is its own question, not a detail of a file lister. Printing goes with it. A picture or a text file prints from the dialog with everything else dropped; a PDF prints itself from its own iframe, since the page around it cannot paginate someone else's document. Hiding `.app` alone was not enough there -- `#root` kept its height and printed a blank first page, the same trap as the message card. |

Take the message you were reading into the selection
Ctrl-clicking a second message selected only the second. The first stayed highlighted, because it was the one open -- which is a different state wearing a similar colour -- and was never actually selected. So both looked picked, one was, and every action that followed applied to half of what the screen showed, silently. The cause is visible once the two rules sit together: shift-click took the whole run *including* the row it started from, and ctrl-click took only the row clicked. Two branches of one handler that had drifted apart, with nothing asserting they agreed. So they are one function now, and tested. Ctrl-click brings the current row with it while nothing is selected yet; once there is a selection it toggles exactly one row, which is what it is for. Shift-click is unchanged, and keeps its anchor where it is so extending a range twice grows it from the same place rather than from wherever it last reached. The last test asserts the property that failed rather than the branches: whichever modifier begins a selection, the anchor is in it. |

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 |

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. |

Import an address book in LDIF
Somebody arriving from SOGo, Thunderbird or an LDAP directory has their contacts in LDIF, and until now the only way in was vCard. Nothing on the server reads LDIF, so this reads it here, in two pieces that are two different problems. `ldif.ts` is RFC 2849 and nothing else: folded lines, base64 values, case-insensitive attribute names, options, comments, `version:` headers, change records. It knows no attribute by name. `mozillaAb.ts` knows the attributes and no syntax -- Mozilla's address book schema, which is what Thunderbird and SOGo write and what the issue asks for by name. LDIF says nothing about what any attribute means, so a file is only readable against a schema, and keeping the two apart is what would let a second schema be added without touching the reader. Work and home addresses, which the schema keeps in two separate sets of attributes, come across as two addresses. So do every phone kind, the second email, the organisation and its units, job title, nickname, web pages and the AIM handle. The four custom fields have no equivalent in JSContact and are appended to the note, labelled as Thunderbird labels them: keeping something somebody chose to write down is worth more than the tidiness of dropping it. An entry with neither a name nor an address is skipped rather than imported as a blank row that is impossible to identify and tedious to find again to delete. The distinguished name is not used as the contact's uid: it says where an entry sat in somebody else's directory. One import control takes either format and decides by what is in the file rather than by what it is called, because an address book exported as LDIF arrives as .ldif, .ldi, .txt or with no extension at all. Closes #174 |

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. |

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. |

Stop a language change undoing itself, and stop the translate prompt
Two reports, both about the language setting. **Picking a language sometimes took several clicks.** The subtree that reads the account's settings file is keyed on the language version, so choosing a language deliberately throws it away and builds it again. The remount re-read the settings file — which still held the old language, because the write is debounced by three seconds — and applied it, putting the old language back. The click that appeared to work was the one made after the previous write had landed, which is exactly the "sometimes" in the report. Worse than it looked: the queued push survived the remount, so the file was eventually written with the new language while the screen showed the old one. A reload then changed the language on its own. Fixed twice over, because either alone leaves a race. The file is read once per account per page load rather than once per mount, and hydrate now holds back any key with a change still queued — a change that has not been written up is newer than the file by definition. That rule is `mergeRemote`, pulled out as a pure function so it could be tested without a JMAP client. **Both browsers kept offering to translate an English page.** They were right to: `<html lang>` said English while the visible text was 6,289 message rows of marketing copy and brand names in whatever language the sender wrote in. The list is most of the text on the screen, so that is what the detector was reading. Sender, subject and preview in the list, and the thread subject and sender name in the reader, are now marked as what they are — content, not interface. Message bodies were already marked, so this is the same line drawn in the places the earlier pass missed rather than a new one. Whether it silences the prompt is Chrome's call and cannot be checked from inside the page; the marking is right either way. |

French, on the same terms as German
Second of Phase 1. Generated by AI, unreviewed, marked Beta, with the report link in Settings doing the job a native speaker would otherwise do. 781 of 796 strings; the fifteen left are product names, bare URLs and example addresses, which should stay English. Register is "vous", following the "Sie" decision and for the same reason: a mail client a workplace deployed has no business addressing anybody as "tu". One terminology decision goes the opposite way to German, deliberately. "Label" stays English in German because no German client translates it, and becomes "Libellé" in French because Gmail did and a French reader will meet it there. The rule being followed is "use what the reader will find elsewhere", not "always translate" or "never" -- which only looks inconsistent if the rule is mistaken for the outcome. French typography: the narrow no-break space before ? ! and : is the rule and is deliberately not used. It is invisible in a diff, trivially lost in an editor, and no French webmail actually ships it. Guillemets are used, because those are visible and do read as wrong when missing. Two things worth recording from doing this a second time. The folder-context separator arrived as a raw U+0004 byte rather than the \\u0004 escape the German file uses. It would have worked -- TypeScript accepts it -- and it is invisible in an editor and in a diff, which is exactly why the German catalogue writes it as an escape. Converted, so both files say the same thing in the same way. And the language tests named a real language as their example of one that is not shipped, so shipping German broke them, and shipping French broke them again. Both times the failure was the test being out of date rather than anything wrong. They derive an unshipped tag now, and assert over every shipped language rather than a hardcoded pair, so the third and fourth languages will not repeat it. |

Folder names follow the language, and three bugs that found
Answering "can we ask Stalwart to serve German folder names": no, and it would not help if we could. The account locale exists in `x:AccountSettings`, and ihasmail already reads it -- that is what "Your mail server reports German" comes from -- but writing it needs `sysAccountSettingsSet`, which the built-in user role does not carry; only an admin could. And even then it would change nothing, because folder names are stored data written once when the account is provisioned. No server renames them afterwards; every other client has them mapped. The role is the way through. JMAP tags the standard folders and ihasmail already trusts the role over the name everywhere it matters, so the *displayed* name can follow the interface language with nothing written to the server. A folder somebody made and called "Newsletters" keeps that name: those are their words, and translating them would name a folder they never created. The cost is real and worth stating: Thunderbird on the same account still shows "Deleted Items", because that is what the folder is called. Inside ihasmail it stays consistent -- everything that names a folder goes through one function, including the "moved to …" toast, which exists precisely so that message does not name somewhere the reader cannot find. Renaming still edits the server's own name, never the localised one. Three things fell out of it. The message list refreshed for ever after a language change, which is the one somebody noticed. The root keys its tree on the language version, so a publish remounts everything; remounting re-runs the effect that loads the account's settings, which calls applyLang, which called setCatalog again -- with an identical tag and an identical catalogue -- and publishing that non-change went round again. setCatalog now returns early when nothing changed. Measured rather than assumed: three consecutive five-second windows with no JMAP calls at all, against a pre-change count that never settled. Calendar months and weekdays stayed English, because formatting locale and interface language are separate settings and only the first feeds Intl. Keeping them separate is right -- German dates with an English interface is a real preference -- but somebody who picks German and is shown "September" has not got what they asked for. A chosen interface language now joins the *automatic* chain ahead of the server and the browser. Setting a formatting locale explicitly still wins, and English is not counted, so an English interface on a German browser keeps German dates exactly as before. And the Archive folder read "Archivieren", which is the verb. English uses one word for the button and the folder; German does not, and neither does "Important", which is also a priority tag. tc(context, source) keys the catalogue on both and falls back to the plain English, which was right in English all along -- the gettext approach, including the control character as separator so no real string can collide. The catalogue checker needed teaching about tc() twice: first it reported the eight contextual entries as stale, then it asked for the plain fallbacks as though they were a second obligation. A check that reports work which does not exist gets switched off, which is worse than not having one. |

German, generated by AI and marked Beta until somebody signs it off
The first language, and the first one where the honest thing to say is not flattering: no native speaker has read it. That is stated in the app rather than in a commit nobody reads, because it is the fact a reader needs to judge what they are looking at. Somebody told a translation is unchecked forgives an odd sentence and reports it; somebody told it was reviewed reasonably concludes the product is sloppy. The setting carries a link straight to a report, which is the whole review process here. `beta` is a property of the language, not of the catalogue's completeness. A file can be word-for-word finished and still read like a machine wrote it, and that is what the flag marks. Removing it is a person's decision. Register is "Sie", consistently, and written down in the file so the next language and the next contributor inherit the decision rather than re-take it. Thunderbird and Outlook use it; ihasmail is as often a company's mail as somebody's own, where "du" from software the workplace deployed reads as presumptuous. Where a string can dodge the question it does, which is ordinary good German UI. The glossary at the top of the file fixes the vocabulary once -- Posteingang, Papierkorb, Entwürfe, archivieren -- because inconsistency reads as amateur far more than an imperfect word choice does. "Label" and "Spam" stay English, since translating them would name things no German mail client calls that. 766 of 781 strings. The fifteen left are product names, bare URLs and example addresses, which should stay English and now do. Two things this turned up that the earlier work had hidden: Labels defined as module-level constants -- the entire settings navigation, the theme cards, the swipe choices, the date formats, the sharing permissions -- are evaluated once, before any catalogue loads, so they could only ever be English. Nothing failed; the German build simply had an English sidebar. They are translated where they render now, which keeps the constant as data and makes its English text the key. And the codemod's narrowed rule, which let it take 73 more strings last time, was too broad after all: text stranded after an inline <a> or <strong> came through as sentence fragments -- ", and what a new account starts on." Eight of them, rebuilt with tNode so the sentence stays whole and the element is a named hole a translator can move. scripts/i18n-catalog-check.mjs is new and earned itself immediately: it found three keys invented that the code never asks for, which is the silent failure in a catalogue -- a translation that looks right, is never looked up, and renders English for ever. It also had to be taught about t(variable), because it cried wolf 33 times over the constants above, and a check that cries wolf gets switched off. Verified in the browser rather than only in tests, which is where the settings sidebar being English was visible and nowhere else. |

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.

Start extraction: an i18n core, and a way to see how far it has got
The groundwork in #145 gave the app a language to serve. This gives it something to serve, and a way to measure the distance to the languages actually planned. The English text is the key. `t("Archive")` looks "Archive" up and returns the English when it is not there, which buys three things worth more than tidy symbolic keys: no English catalogue to keep in step with the code, a missing translation that degrades to readable English rather than to `mail.list.archive`, and an extraction step that is wrapping a string rather than inventing a name for it. Names are where extraction stalls, and 55 components is a lot of small naming arguments. The cost is that editing English copy orphans its translations, which is the right way round: the copy is the product, and a stale German sentence should fall back to the new English. `plural()` takes forms rather than (one, other), because two forms is an English assumption that does not survive phase two of the plan. Russian and Ukrainian need three, and choosing between them is not a question about the number 1. Intl.PluralRules knows the rule for every language the browser knows, so the catalogue supplies the forms and the runtime picks; a category the catalogue does not carry falls back to `other` rather than rendering undefined. Interpolation is named rather than positional for the same reason -- German moves the parts of a sentence around and means the same thing. Catalogues are dynamically imported, so a reader who never leaves English never downloads one, and English needs no fetch at all. `applyLang` sets the lang attribute before kicking the load, deliberately: lang is what stops Chrome offering to translate and should not wait on a network request to say something it already knows. `t()` is a plain function, not a hook, so the tree is keyed on a language version at the root and thrown away when the catalogue changes. Making every call site a subscriber would turn extracting a string from "wrap it" into "wrap it and add a hook", for an event that happens about once per account. NotificationsSettings is extracted end to end as the reference -- it covers all four shapes, being JSX text, translated attributes, a toast, and a sentence with a value interpolated into it. scripts/i18n-coverage.mjs counts what is left, because ~1,000 strings across 56 files is too many to eyeball in review or carry in anyone's head. It reports 20 wrapped and 925 remaining, and it deliberately does not count punctuation and separators as untranslated -- a floor no amount of work could reach would make the number useless. A progress report rather than a gate: --check exits non-zero, for once the number is low enough for that to mean something. ROADMAP.md said translations were "English-only for now" on a page whose stated purpose is things the answer is "no" to. It now says what is actually happening, carries the phase order, and says why Arabic, Hebrew and Persian are on neither list: RTL is a layout and bidi problem rather than a longer catalogue, and shipping it as though it were the same kind of work is how an RTL build ends up unusable with nobody saying so. |

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. |

Keep push alive across a deploy, not just across a week
#143 added a device-local flag recording that background notifications were switched on in this browser, and made the renewal on app start key off it. It is not in KEEP_ON_SIGN_OUT, and that is the whole bug: clearSignedInData() runs on two different endings and only one of them is a sign-out. The other is a session expiring, which is what a deploy does to every signed-in browser at once. That path deliberately does not remove the push subscription -- there is no session left to remove it with -- so the subscription stays registered at Stalwart and the browser keeps its own. Losing the flag there left nothing to renew them: push would have gone quiet a week after every deploy, with the switch in Settings still reading as on because both ends of the subscription still existed. That is the exact failure #143 was written to prevent, reintroduced through a different door, and the first deploy carrying #143 would have been the thing that triggered it. Signing out for real still forgets it. That happens directly in unsubscribeThisDevice, next to destroying the subscription, and it happens even when the server cannot be reached -- a browser that goes on believing it has push would have renewal resurrect it on the next sign-in. Both halves are tested now, because they are one invariant seen from two sides: storage.test.ts covers the flag surviving an expiry, webpush.test.ts covers a sign-out clearing it with the server unreachable. |

Renew the push subscription, so it does not lapse in a week
Background notifications were built, verified against a live server, and then went quiet a few days later on every device that had them. A JMAP push subscription expires -- seven days is the ceiling -- and re-registering before it lapses is the client's job. Nothing did: enableWebPush() was reachable only from the switch in Settings, so the subscription was registered once, expired, and stayed expired. Nobody reports that as a bug. They report that push does not really work. It is renewed on every app start now, which is the only place it can be: the registration is a JMAP call and the service worker has no session cookie to make one with. So the guarantee is that push keeps working as long as ihasmail is opened now and again, and a two-day renewal window against a seven-day ceiling means once a week is enough. Registering is the same call as turning it on -- deviceClientId makes a repeat replace rather than accumulate -- so there is no second path to get wrong. Two more things in the same area, both of which produce the same silence: - webPushActive() asked whether the *account* had any subscription, so the moment one device had one, every other device showed the switch already on. A phone that had never successfully registered, or whose registration had since expired, read as on and delivered nothing. It matches on the device now. - Turning push on reused an existing browser subscription and gave up if there was none. A browser drops or rotates one on its own, and there is no tab open to hear the pushsubscriptionchange when it does, so that state was permanent. Renewal re-subscribes rather than bailing. Whether this browser has push on is now remembered locally, which is what renewal keys off. It is per browser rather than per account on purpose: a subscription is an endpoint and a device, and a phone having push says nothing about the desktop. It is not kept across sign-out, matching sign-out already destroying the subscription itself. The mock is the reason this was invisible in development: it handed back expires: null, so a client that never renewed worked perfectly against it forever. It expires a subscription in seven days now, which is what makes "does this client renew?" a question the mock can answer. Checked against the mock: a create returns an expiry seven days out that survives PushSubscription/get and parses, renewing the same deviceClientId replaces rather than accumulates, and a device with no registration of its own finds nothing where the old code saw two subscriptions and said yes. What the live Stalwart sets for expires is not confirmed -- if it sets none, renewal correctly does nothing and the other two fixes still stand. |

Give the mail list the gestures a phone already has
ihasmail's mail list was built for a mouse. A row is clicked, right-clicked and dragged into a folder, and on a touchscreen two of those three do not exist -- so the phone layout had the shape of a mail app and none of the handling, and the things people reach for first simply did nothing. Four gestures, all touch-only, so a mouse keeps drag-to-folder unchanged: - Swipe a row sideways to act on it. Each direction is a setting -- right archives and left deletes by default, matching the app the phone came with -- and the strip revealed behind the row names what will happen in the folder it is happening in: "Delete forever" out of Deleted Items, "Not spam" inside Junk Mail, and nothing at all where the action is a no-op, in which case the row will not move that way. - Hold a row to select it. Selection was reachable already, by aiming at a checkbox beside an avatar, which is not how anyone selects mail on a phone. The selection toolbar gained an overflow menu at the same time: report spam, mark unread and label were hidden on narrow screens and had nowhere else to be, so touch selection could not reach them at all. - Hold a folder for the menu its ⋮ button opens. - Pull the list down to refresh, and drag in from the left edge of a conversation to go back. The toolbar's button and arrow both stay: a gesture with no visible control is one only the people who already know about it can use. The arithmetic behind them is in lib/touch.ts, away from the components and under test, because the numbers are the whole thing: an axis lock biased towards the vertical, so a diagonal flick stays a scroll rather than deleting whatever it passes over. Two layout bugs turned up while checking this on a 390px screen, both older than the gestures. The app shell is a grid with only its rows named, so it took an implicit auto column sized to the top bar's min-content -- about 470px -- and every message row ran off the right of the glass with its date beyond the edge. The column is now stated as minmax(0, 1fr), and the search field is allowed to shrink. Full-screen surfaces measure in dvh rather than vh, and the tab bar, drawer and compose button keep out from under the notch and the home indicator. |

Ask whose computer this is, and believe the answer
Sign-out never cleared local storage. It stopped push, flushed settings and removed the subscription -- that last one reasoned explicitly that a browser left holding someone's mail becomes somebody else's next -- and then left the settings cache and the recently-addressed list on disk. That list is other people's addresses, and nothing ever removed it. Clearing it on sign-out is now unconditional, because lending a laptop is the same exposure as a public machine, only quieter. The keep-list is short and deliberate: lastUser, which only a trusted device writes; the trust flag; and the random push device id. Everything else goes, so a key added later is forgotten by default rather than by nobody having thought about it. "Keep me signed in on this device" defaulted to true, which assumed the answer most costly to get wrong -- someone on a library machine got a thirty-day cookie unless they noticed a ticked box. It now asks whose computer this is, defaults to not yours, and says what each answer does. Untrusted means a session cookie, nothing written locally, no push subscription, and a five minute idle sign-out. The idle timer is there because the alternative does not work: custom beforeunload text was removed from browsers years ago, and no event fires at all for walking away from a signed-in screen, which is the case that matters. A timer needs nobody's cooperation. Reads are gated as well as writes, since a machine trusted once still has the residue; an untrusted sign-in purges it outright. The wire keeps calling this `remember` -- it is persisted in SESSION_FILE, and renaming it would invalidate every session file on upgrade for a change of vocabulary. Verified in a browser against the mock, not only in tests: untrusted sign-in leaves localStorage empty through a full session including folder expansion; trusted writes settings, recent and lastUser as before; sign-out clears recent and settings while keeping lastUser; an untrusted sign-in afterwards clears even that. |

Reload even when there is an unsent draft
Holding the reload back while a compose window had unsaved text protected the text, but it meant a tab could sit on a build the server no longer runs for as long as someone left a draft open -- which is not automatic, and automatic is the point. So the reload is unconditional once the versions differ, and this will sometimes take an unsent draft with it. The trade is deliberate: a tab talking to a server it does not match is the worse failure, and it fails quietly. |

Notice a new build without being told
Checking only on a 401 was not automatic, just deferred. It needs the tab to make a request, so one left open and idle went on running the old build until somebody touched it -- which is exactly the thing that cannot be relied on. The obvious signal turned out to be the wrong one, and testing is what showed it. A deploy kills the EventSource behind /api/events, which looks like the perfect cue, except it arrives while the container is still being replaced: the check that follows cannot reach the server, fails, and is never retried. Waiting for the stream to come back instead does not work either, because the session died with the old container, so the reconnect is answered with a 401 and never reaches "connected" at all. The drop is still watched, since it costs nothing and sometimes lands late enough to be useful, but nothing depends on it. What the guarantee rests on is a slow poll while the tab is visible, plus a check when it becomes visible again. Neither cares what the stream is doing or whether anyone is at the keyboard. /api/health touches nothing upstream, so a minute between checks costs one small request per open tab. Reloading is now something that happens to people rather than something they ask for, which makes it able to destroy work. A compose window holds text that has not reached the server, and after a deploy it cannot be saved at all -- the session went with the container. Reloading would be the difference between signing in again and pressing send, and losing what was written. So anything holding such state can say so, and compose does; the tab stays on the old build until the draft is dealt with, and catches up on the next check afterwards. |

Reload when the server is running a newer build
Being signed out and picking up a new version are separate things, and only the first was happening. An immutable instance holds sessions in memory, so a deploy signs everyone out -- but a 401 only swaps the view to the sign-in form, client-side. The tab keeps the bundle it already has, and the old JavaScript goes on talking to the new server until someone happens to reload by hand. The pieces for fixing it were already there. index.html is served no-cache and the assets under it are content-hashed and immutable, so a reload is all it takes; Vite bakes the build's own version in as APP_VERSION; and /api/health reports the server's. What was missing was something to compare them. The check runs on a 401 rather than on a timer, which is the moment it matters and costs one small request. It compares versions rather than reloading on every 401, so an ordinary session expiry still lands on the sign-in form with the page intact. And it runs before the sign-in form is shown rather than after, because reloading a form someone has already started typing into would throw the password away. Failing to reach the server is not a reason to throw away what is on screen, so anything other than a clear answer leaves the page alone. The version that was reloaded for is remembered for the session, so a server that keeps reporting a version the bundle does not match -- a stale proxy cache, a half-finished deploy -- cannot put the tab in a reload loop. |
