jcoffey-dev cee107d948 Select contacts, and empty an address book
Raised on #174 as the other half of a migration -- import, notice
something is wrong, empty the book, correct the export, import again --
and tracked as #277.

The gap turned out to be wider than the ask. Contacts had no multi-select
at all: the only delete in the module was the cross on a single card's
pane, one card and one confirmation at a time. `destroyCards` has taken a
list and batched it against maxObjectsInSet since #218, and nothing in
the UI ever handed it more than one id. So "empty this address book" was
missing, and so was "delete these fourteen".

The list now has checkboxes, on hover the way the message list's are, and
always on a touchscreen where there is no hover to reveal them.
Shift-click takes the run between two rows. The search box gives way to a
selection bar rather than sitting beside it, because what the count
promises is what the search left on screen. A selection is cleared when
the book being shown changes, since carrying it across would leave a
count describing rows that are no longer there and a Delete aimed at
them.

Emptying a book is in the book's own menu, beside the import and export
that moved there in #226, and separate from Delete, which takes the book
with it. A default book cannot be deleted and can perfectly well be
emptied, which is most of the reason it is its own entry.

The part that is not a deletion, and the reason this is not one destroy
over everything in the book: a card filed in two books belongs to both,
and `ContactCard/set destroy` takes it away from both at once. Emptying
one book must not empty another, so a card with a second home is patched
out of this one and left alone. That is reported separately afterwards,
because it would otherwise look like contacts that refused to go.

`destroyCards` now answers with what the server confirmed rather than
throwing on the first refusal. A refusal that took half a selection with
it still deleted the other half, and an error saying only that it failed
sends somebody looking for contacts that are already gone. Both callers
report the count and the reason apart.

Emptying a shared book is deliberately not offered: the cards live in the
owner's account and this client has no path to write there.

One bug found by driving the built app rather than by any test, and worth
recording because of where it hid. The range a shift-click covers was
measured inside the `setPicked` updater -- which React runs when it gets
round to rendering, by which time the anchor ref has already been moved
to the row that *ended* the range. Every shift-click selected exactly one
row, and every store assertion still passed, because nothing was wrong
below the component. The anchor is read before the updater now, and the
contacts view has its first component tests: ten of them, six of which
fail if the measurement moves back inside.

Twelve new strings, in all nine catalogues, so nothing new falls back to
English.

jcoffey-dev 20b6475f18 Second pass: four dialogs that were never wrapped
A sweep for UI text still rendering in English, after the nine catalogues were
brought up to date. Four dialogs were building their own English:

  - The delete confirmation in MailView, entirely: both titles, both messages
    and the confirm label. Its counts read "message(s)", which is a
    parenthesis standing in for agreement -- every language that inflects got
    the wrong form. They are plural() calls now.
  - Rename, in the Files tree.
  - New address book, and its Name placeholder.
  - New category, and its Name placeholder. The button opening that dialog was
    already translated, which is how it went unnoticed: the label read right
    and the dialog it opened did not.

Rename, New address book, New category, Name and Delete are already in all
nine catalogues. Delete?, Delete forever? and the two plural forms are new and
land with each language.

Verified: typecheck clean, 1000 tests pass.

jcoffey-dev 8badf48c4a Give the address books the menus the calendars have
Two remarks from the reporter's colleague, both the same underlying thing:
contacts and calendar grew their menus at different times and it shows.

The dots button on hover. The calendar has offered its per-item menu two ways
since it was written -- the button and right-click -- and contacts only had
right-click, which is undiscoverable and unavailable on touch. The rows are
already .nav-item, which has carried the hover-reveal rule for mail folders
all along, so this is the button and no CSS.

Import and export move into those menus. As a pair of buttons at the foot of
the sidebar they did not say which address book they acted on -- they meant
"whatever is selected", which is not something a button can tell you. The
calendar settled this already: its iCAL import lives in the calendar's own
menu, because that is where "which one?" is answered by where you clicked.
The events they dispatch now name the book instead of meaning the selection.

Exporting a book now exports that book, rather than the list on screen. The
old one handed you whatever was showing, so a search box with something in it
quietly narrowed the export -- fine while the button sat under that list,
wrong from a menu in the sidebar.

Two things that would otherwise have been lost with the buttons. "All
contacts" gets the same menu, so exporting everything still has a home; and
a book somebody shared gets a menu rather than the bare X, since it can be
exported too and losing that would have been a regression dressed as a
tidy-up. The X moves inside as "Remove from my contacts".

Closes #224.

jcoffey-dev fc0e2b2b3e 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

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 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 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.

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 350f4f4197 Put address books in the left pane, other people's included
Address book sharing was withdrawn a few hours ago on a report that it
behaved like mail folder sharing. That was wrong -- it works -- and it is
back, built the way Files is rather than the way it was.

Three things it inherits from Files. Shared books are listed in the app's
own left pane instead of behind an account switch in the profile menu.
The reader's books and other people's sit under separate headings, since
a book belonging to somebody else behaves differently and a single merged
list would be quiet about whose contacts you are reading. And opening
Contacts re-reads the session, so a book shared while the tab was open
turns up without signing out and in again.

The books pane the view kept to itself is gone, and with it the last
module that ignored the sidebar it was given.

The one thing Files does not need: shared contacts have to answer when
somebody types a name into a To field, so they are loaded up front rather
than when a book is opened, and they are offered by `suggest` and found
by `lookupByEmail` alongside the reader's own. Their own cards win a tie,
since a card someone wrote themselves should beat a colleague's copy of
the same person. That is the difference between a shared book you can
look at and one you can use.

Cards from a shared account are held apart from the reader's rather than
merged in, and keyed by account as well as id. Ids are only unique within
an account -- two accounts each having a book `ab1` is ordinary -- and a
flat map would have had one silently replace the other.

The mock grew an address book in its shared account, with contacts in it,
because none of this could be exercised otherwise.

KNOWN-ISSUES records the withdrawal as the mistake it was rather than
leaving it in the history looking like a finding. Mail folder sharing
stays withdrawn: that one really is broken.
