opacity 0.55 → 0.45 and explicit color:var(--fg), matching the
.cal-search-icon treatment so the email chip-bar magnifier reads at
the same muted intensity as the calendar search field.
Search input gets position:relative;top:-1px so the placeholder text
sits 1px higher inside the chip bar.
AI reply choice popover: drop the '...' kebab and the 'Draft with
note' textarea row entirely. Replace the concentric-circle Full icon
with our standard accent dot (filled 6px circle in viewBox 24).
Main button: open cached AI draft if one exists, otherwise generate
a fast draft inline. No more intermediate Fast/Full/Note menu.
Caret on the side opens a focused popover with just a textarea +
Generate button — the user types instructions (e.g. 'thank them and
confirm Tuesday at 2', 'decline politely') and submitting fires the
full-mode generation with those instructions as the noteHint.
- _aiReplySplitButtonHtml(data) centralizes the new HTML so all three
reader render sites use the same markup.
- _showAiReplyChoice rewritten — drops the Fast/Full toggle row plus
the kebab + 'Draft with note' two-step. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter submits.
- _handleAiReplyButton routes based on which inner button was clicked
(caret → popover, main → run-or-open).
- The three reader event registrations now listen on .ai-reply-split
so both inner buttons feed the same handler.
Found the culprit — the docked-modal CSS forced .email-reader-meta-row
into a single-column grid, which collapsed the From row into a
vertical stack and pushed the action buttons below it.
Fix:
- Merged the primary + secondary action rows into one flat
.email-reader-actions-inline cluster inside the From row
- Made the cluster flex-wrap so it stays inline when undocked and
wraps below the chip when truly cramped (docked, narrow tab)
- Excluded .email-reader-meta-from from the docked-modal and
narrow-docpane grid-stack rules — those overrides now only
apply to the To/Cc detail rows
Absolutely-positioned 13px search SVG at the left edge of the chip bar
(same circle+line glyph used elsewhere). Bar padding-left bumped 8→26
to leave room. pointer-events:none on the icon so clicks still land
on the input, opacity 0.55 to match other muted prefix icons.
Star → bookmark banner SVG also in the card title row (em.is_flagged
glyph) and the inbox toolbar's _starIcon / _starFilledIcon, so every
favorites affordance matches the chats sidebar bookmark.
Search dropdown gains a third suggestion kind:
- kind: 'email' rows surface emails from the snapshot whose subject or
sender name match the typed term (top 4, scored by startsWith vs
substring). Render row carries a small envelope glyph + bolded
subject + 'from name' on the right.
- Picking one closes the dropdown and expands that exact card via
_toggleCardPreview, scrolling it into view.
Restructured the DOM so the Reply / Reply-all / Forward row lives
INSIDE the email-reader-meta-from div (after the chips span), and
the Summary / AI / More row sits directly below as a sibling of
From inside the meta. Killed the outer email-reader-actions
wrapper that kept letting the buttons drift out of position.
CSS now pushes the primary row right via margin-left:auto on the
From row and right-aligns the secondary row below it.
After picking a filter from the dropdown the pill was 'icon + Unread'.
Drop the text — the icon is the affordance — so the pill collapses to
just the glyph + ×. Hover surfaces the friendly label via the title
attribute. Contact + text pills still carry their text label.
Typing a filter keyword now surfaces the matching filter row in the
autocomplete (each with its existing dropdown icon). Picking one pins
a filter pill and drives the global filter state.
Keyword catalog (_LIB_FILTER_OPTIONS):
- has-attachments ← 'attachment', 'attachments', 'has attachment', 'attach'
- unread ← 'unread', 'new', 'unseen'
- favorites ← 'favorite', 'starred', 'star', 'flagged'
- undone ← 'undone', 'pending', 'todo'
- reminders ← 'reminder', 'reminders'
- unanswered ← 'unanswered', 'unreplied', 'no reply'
- pending_30d ← 'pending 30d', 'pending', 'recent pending'
- stale_30d ← 'stale', 'old', 'stale 30d'
- tag:urgent ← 'urgent', 'critical'
- tag:reply-soon ← 'reply soon', 'reply', 'follow up'
- tag:spam ← 'spam', 'junk'
- tag:newsletter ← 'newsletter', 'newsletters', 'subscriptions'
- tag:marketing ← 'marketing', 'promo', 'promotional'
Filter pill behaviour:
- Only one filter pill is active at a time — adding a new one replaces
any existing filter pill.
- _applyFilterPillSideEffect drives the existing #email-lib-filter
select (or the #email-attach-btn toggle for has-attachments). The
server-side list refetch follows for free via the existing 'change'
handler.
- Removing the filter pill clears the side effect.
Pill render gains the filter icon as a leading glyph; the suggestion
row renders icon + label in the accent colour so it visually reads as
a filter, not a contact.
With the meta collapsed to a single visible From row + chevron,
there is room to put the action cluster on that same row as a
right-aligned sibling. Dropped the absolute positioning and
gradient-fade overlap — actions now flex-end via margin-left:auto
so From sits on the left and Reply / Reply-all / Forward / AI /
Summary / More all sit on the right of the same row.
Also moved the chevron inside the recipient-chips span so it sits
adjacent to the sender chip instead of wrapping onto a second line.
1. Multiple pills now AND together — 'alice + bob' means both alice
AND bob are somewhere on the email, not 'from alice OR from bob'.
(some → every in the filter.)
2. Default autocomplete focus is now -1 (no row pre-selected) so plain
Enter commits the input as a text pill — typing then Enter behaves
like a normal search. ArrowDown / ArrowUp + Enter still picks a
contact suggestion. Tab still autocompletes the most-relevant match
regardless of arrow state.
3. Pill × button nudged up 4px so it sits on the visual centerline
inside the 18px pill height.
Only the From row shows by default. When the email has To and/or
Cc recipients, a small chevron sits next to the From chip — click
it to inline-expand the To/Cc rows below (rotates 180deg open).
Trims the header to a single visible row in the common case,
leaving the action cluster plenty of vertical headroom to stay
on a single row.
Four fixes from the first round of usage:
1. Pill height was larger than the chip-bar's row — shrink to a fixed
18px-tall pill (line-height + height pinned) so it sits inside
the input row.
2. List refresh wiped pill state — when _loadEmails replaces
state._libEmails (refresh, folder switch, etc.), refresh the
snapshot to the new list and re-apply the pill filter so pills
persist instead of resetting to 'show all emails'.
3. Click-to-add only worked inside the open email reader. Extend the
capture-phase handler to ALSO catch clicks on .email-meta-sender
inside the library grid — the list card's sender name is the most
natural place to want to pivot from.
4. Esc inside the chip-input didn't close the modal. New behaviour:
if the autocomplete dropdown is open, Esc closes only the dropdown
(and swallows the event); otherwise Esc blurs the input and bubbles
so the existing modal Esc handler can close the library.
Also wires data-email + data-name on .email-meta-sender so the click
handler has reliable targeting.
Replace the single text-input + IMAP search round-trip with a deterministic
local chip-bar filter modelled on the gallery's tag pills.
What lives in the bar
- Each filter is a pill: { type: 'contact', name, email } or
{ type: 'text', text }.
- Click anywhere in the bar lands the cursor in the input field.
- Typing populates a dropdown of matching contacts + recently-seen senders
(cached per modal open via _buildSuggestionSource).
- Tab / Enter on a highlighted suggestion → adds a contact pill.
- Enter on free text with no suggestion match → adds a text pill.
- Backspace on empty input → pops the last pill.
- × on a pill removes that one.
- Arrow keys navigate the suggestion list.
Filtering
- _applyPillFilter snapshots the loaded list once, then for every render
shows emails where ANY pill matches:
contact pill — from_address equals OR to/cc contains the pill's email
text pill — broad substring match across subject/from/snippet
Click-to-add
- Capture-phase click handler on .recipient-chip inside the email reader
drops the person into the library as a contact pill (and reopens the
library window if it was closed/minimized).
Removed the debounced /api/email/search IMAP call and its 'Loading emails'
side effect. The dropped server search was the source of the 'type
jonathan, get stuck on Loading' bug.
The Fast/Full popover now has a kebab (three-dot) button alongside the
two preset choices. Clicking it expands a textarea below with a
'Draft with note' send button. The textarea is for the user to tell
the AI how to reply ('confirm Tuesday at 2', 'decline politely', 'say
we'll need an extra week') instead of accepting a generic draft.
Plumbing:
- emailLibrary.js: kebab button + note panel inside .email-ai-reply-choice
menu. Submitting calls _runAiReplyFromButton with mode='ai-reply-full'
and a noteHint string.
- _runAiReplyFromButton signature gains noteHint; passes it through
state._onEmailClick as opts.noteHint.
- emailInbox.js consumer: forwards opts.noteHint into _openEmail's new
5th arg, which puts it in the /api/email/ai-reply POST body as
user_hint.
- routes/email_routes.py /ai-reply: reads user_hint, appends a
'User's instructions for THIS reply' section to the user message
(priority over default tone/length). Also skips the per-message
AI-reply cache when a hint is set — the cached generic draft would
silently override the instructions otherwise.
Restructure the action cluster so it stays as two visible rows inside
.email-reader-actions instead of flattening via display:contents:
- Top row: Summary, More
- Bottom row: Reply, Reply all (conditional), Forward, AI reply
Dropped the Search button — wasn't part of the requested layout.
CSS: .email-reader-actions becomes flex column with both rows
right-aligned; .email-reader-actions-row becomes a real flex row
(no more display:contents flattening) so each row stays on its own
line. Whole block continues to sit beside the From/To meta inside
.email-reader-header.
After dropping the 'Default' chip, _loadAccounts started setting
state._libAccountId asynchronously while _loadEmails fired in parallel
with the still-null id. The list request was going out with no
account_id (so the server defaulted) while subsequent per-email reads
used the explicit id set after _loadAccounts resolved — back to the
same desync the chip-removal was meant to fix.
Sequence them: await _loadAccounts first, then kick off the folders /
reminders / emails fetches. The list always carries the right
account_id from the very first call.
Replying from an email opened in a new tab was dragging that window to
the left-sidebar dock — same treatment as the main email library, even
though the user had explicitly opted to pop it into its own floating
viewer. Annoying when the viewer is mid-screen and Reply yanks it.
Add an early bail in _snapEmailModalToLeftSidebar for modals whose id
starts with 'email-view-' (the 'open in new tab' reader). Compose still
opens; the floating viewer just stays where it is, on top of the
library. User can move/close it themselves.
Bug: clicking the dot to change the server-side default account while
viewing 'Default' left a desynced state — the email list still showed
the OLD default's cached UIDs, but the server's default now pointed
at a different account. Opening any email used the visible UID +
account_id='' on the read endpoint, which resolved against the NEW
default account → wrong email content (or older mail entirely).
Fix: remove the 'Default' chip. _loadAccounts now auto-selects the
is_default account (or the first one) into state._libAccountId so the
list view + every per-email request always carries an explicit
account_id and can't desync from set-default.
The dot button still lives on each account chip for changing which
account the server treats as the default — but it no longer affects
which account the list is currently displaying.
The All/Unread/Favorites/etc selector was a native <select>, which
can't render SVG inside <option>. Replace it with a custom picker
that:
- Keeps the existing <select id="email-lib-filter"> as the value
store (hidden via display:none). All existing 'change' listeners
keep working — the picker just dispatches a change event after
updating the select's value.
- Renders a styled button + drop-out menu built from the select's
options (preserves optgroup labels like 'Tags').
- Each option carries an SVG icon: lines for All, ringed dot for
Unread, star for Favorites, empty checkbox for Undone, bell for
Reminders, reply arrow for Unanswered/Reply-soon, clock for
Pending, calendar-x for Stale, exclamation-triangle for Urgent,
ban for Spam, newsletter and megaphone for the marketing tags.
- Icons use var(--accent) so they pick up the user's theme color.
- Click outside / Esc closes the menu (Esc handler is capture-phase
+ stopPropagation so it doesn't bubble to the modal-close listener
and shut the whole email window).
CSS scoped under .email-filter-picker.
More menu reorganization:
- Group 1: Open in new tab, Remind to reply
- Group 2 (state): Mark as Unread/Read, Mark as Done/Not Done, Move to
Archive, Save sender to contacts
- Group 3 (destructive, unchanged): Move to Spam, Move to Trash,
Delete Permanently
- Renames: Done→'Mark as Done', Archive→'Move to Archive', Mark
Read/Unread→'Mark as Read'/'Mark as Unread'.
- Mark Unread moves out of group 1 down into the state-change group
alongside Done; Save sender to contacts moves down into the same
state group.
Toolbar row reshuffle (applies to both the email-list card reader and
the email document view):
- Row 1 (primary): Reply, Reply all, Forward, Search, More — Forward
no longer has to fight Search/More for space in the secondary row.
- Row 2 (secondary): AI reply, Summary — gets its own dedicated row.
The 6px dot was easy to miss on touch / small-cursor setups. Replace
padding-only sizing with explicit width:18px;height:18px on the
button, dot centered inside via justify-content. Anchor moved from
right:9 → right:6 so the visible dot stays where it was; the extra
clickable area extends inward from the chip edge.
GET /api/contacts/config masks the saved password as '***' (or ''
when none). Mirror that into the password input's placeholder so users
can see at a glance that a password is on file — matching the email
account form's '(unchanged)' pattern.
The contacts manager in Settings was stuck at name+email inline only —
no address field, no phone input on add, no search to find anything in
a list of 100+ contacts.
UI:
- Add form gets phone and address inputs alongside name/email. The
email-required gate becomes name-OR-email so address/phone-only
entries are creatable.
- Edit form gets an address input, threaded into the PUT body.
- Search input above the list filters client-side by name / emails /
phones / address (debounced 80ms). Count badge shows N/M when a
filter is active.
Backend:
- /api/contacts/{uid} PUT now accepts address and routes it through
_update_contact (which already supports it after the previous
commit). Validation loosened: name OR email OR address.
- /api/contacts/add POST now accepts phone + address. Phone goes
through an immediate _update_contact since _create_contact's
signature only takes name+email+address.
8px ring read as a sliver next to the chip label. Bump to a 10x10 SVG
with stroke-width:3 for the hollow ring so it presents like the
sidebar notif dot at this size. Chip padding-right bumped 20→24 so
the larger glyph isn't crushed against the text.
Replace the star polygon with a small 8px circle dot — filled +
accent-tinted on the default account, hollow + muted on others.
Vertical position bumped up 2px via top: calc(50% - 2px) so it
visually centers against the chip's text baseline instead of
geometric center.
- The 'All (default)' chip showed only the default account, so the
label was misleading. Rename to just 'Default' to match behavior.
- Each user account chip gets a star button (filled if it IS the
default, hollow otherwise). Clicking calls the existing
POST /api/email/accounts/{id}/set-default and refreshes the strip.
Cross-account aggregation (a true 'All') is a separate bigger lift
that needs UID namespacing and merge/sort in _list_emails_sync;
flagged for follow-up rather than smuggled into this change.
Closes the auto-send hole that let earlier models invent signatures
(e.g. signing 'David' for a user named Felix) and SMTP them to real
recipients before the user could review.
New setting: agent_email_confirm (default True).
When on, the MCP send_email and reply_to_email tools no longer SMTP
directly — they write the composed email to scheduled_emails with a new
status 'agent_draft' (far-future send_at so the scheduled-send poller
ignores them) and return a {pending: true, pending_id, to, subject,
body, message: ...} payload. The model surfaces that to the user.
Backend endpoints to approve / cancel:
- GET /api/email/pending → list staged drafts for the owner
- POST /api/email/pending/{id}/approve → flip status to 'pending' +
backdate send_at so the
existing scheduled-send
poller delivers immediately
- DELETE /api/email/pending/{id} → status = 'cancelled'
UI:
- Settings / AI Defaults gets a new 'Email Safety' card with the
toggle, default on.
- Tool descriptions for send_email and reply_to_email now include the
pending behavior + an explicit 'DO NOT invent a signature, do not
type a person's name' guardrail.
Pass 2 (next): inline chat card with Send / Discard buttons so the user
doesn't have to type a confirmation reply. Today's prompt + the listing
endpoint give the model a clean path to surface drafts.
- 'Marking done' / 'Marking read' / 'Marking unread' label was 2px low
vs. the whirlpool spinner inside the Actions button. The existing
loading-label CSS only scoped to #email-lib-bulk-delete; extend it
to also cover #email-lib-bulk-actions and bump top from 0 to -2px.
- 'All' checkbox label was inline-styled top:2px so the box + text sat
lower than the surrounding bulk-action items. Reset to top:0 to
match memory + skills select-all rows.
Two pain points:
- IMAP server search is genuinely slow.
- The grid blanked to a whirlpool on every keystroke, so even fast
searches felt dead because you couldn't see your own results.
Fix:
- _localSearchFilter runs synchronously on every keystroke, filtering
the pre-search snapshot by subject / from-name / from-address /
snippet so the grid responds immediately. Snapshot is taken on the
first non-empty keystroke and restored when the input is cleared.
- _doSearch no longer renders the loading-whirlpool spinner into the
grid. The local filter already shows useful results; surface
'Searching…' in the stats badge to indicate the server search is in
flight.
- When server results land, they replace the grid; if the user has
already typed past them, the seq guard skips the stale render.
Before: only delete showed a spinner/disabled buttons. Picking Done on
92 selected emails fired off 184 sequential HTTP calls (mark-answered
+ mark-read) with zero UI feedback, so it looked like the click did
nothing for the ~20-30 seconds it took to grind through.
- All five bulk actions (delete / archive / done / read / unread) now
swap the target button into a whirlpool+verb-ing state, dim siblings,
and show 'N/M…' progress in the count label that ticks as each
request resolves.
- Per-uid work runs in parallel with a hard cap of 6 in flight, so a
90-email Done finishes in ~3 server round-trips of latency instead
of 90, but we still don't open 90 simultaneous IMAP-backed connections.
Group 1 — per-email view actions:
Open in new tab → Mark Unread/Read → Remind to reply
Group 2 — non-destructive state changes:
Save sender to contacts → Done/Not Done → Archive
Group 3 — destructive (own divider):
Move to Spam → Move to Trash → Delete Permanently
Adds support for { separator: true } items in the actions array,
rendered as .dropdown-divider rows.
Repro: filter Undone → Select All → uncheck a few → Actions → Done →
nothing visible happens. Reason: the bulk-Done branch only flipped
em.is_answered on the in-memory entries; the cards stayed in
state._libEmails so they kept rendering, but now with the done check
ticked. From the user's POV — still 'undone' filter, cards still
there — it looked like the action was a no-op.
When the filter is 'undone' specifically, treat marking done as a
view-removal (same animate-then-prune step archive/delete uses).
When clicking an email higher up in the list, its top edge can be hiding
behind the modal header or off-screen. After applying the
.email-card-expanded class + the new minHeight, scrollIntoView(block:start)
on the next animation frame so the user sees the whole card.
The expanded email card painted a kebab menu in its title row because
the per-card .memory-item-actions menu at the bottom was hidden while
expanded. Both pointed at _showCardMenu(em). Remove the duplicate:
- Drop the email-card-header-menu button (and its rightCluster
wrapper) — title row now just holds the nav arrows.
- Remove the CSS rule that hid .memory-item-actions on
.email-card-expanded so the bottom kebab stays visible.
- Unread-dot insert point retargets to .email-card-nav-arrows now
that the rightCluster is gone.
state._selectedUids holds whatever the server returns for em.uid (string
or number); the bulk action looped Array.from(...) and did strict ===
against state._libEmails entries. When the types disagreed, the find()
returned undefined, the in-memory is_answered flip never happened, and
the post-loop _renderGrid() painted the cards back into their original
not-done state — looking like 'mark done' did nothing even though the
server-side call had succeeded.
- Compare via String() on both sides so the in-memory state actually
flips.
- Surface HTTP failure from mark-answered/mark-read so the existing
failedReadSync toast can fire if the calls don't go through.
Previously _prepareEmailWindowForDocument would:
1. Check if there was horizontal room for both email + doc.
2. If not, try collapsing the sidebar to recover space.
3. If even that wasn't enough, _clearEmailDocumentSplit() — the
email tab-down the user has been disliking.
Drop step 3. We still try collapsing the sidebar (free easy room),
but if the layout is still cramped, just dock anyway and let the
user manage their layout. _clearEmailDocumentSplit() is still
called on the legitimate close paths.
Wire the existing built-in PERSONAS catalog through to scheduled tasks
the same way I wired it to reminder synthesis. Repurposes the
dormant scheduled_tasks.character_id column.
UI (static/js/tasks.js)
- New 'Persona' select in the LLM / Research task form, with the five
built-in characters (socrates/razor/nietzsche/spark/odysseus) plus a
default 'no persona' option. Pre-populates from existing.character_id
on edit. Non-llm/research types explicitly clear it on save.
API (routes/task_routes.py)
- TaskCreate + TaskUpdate gain character_id: Optional[str].
- _task_to_dict echoes character_id back so the form can hydrate on
edit. Update endpoint stores '' as None to allow clearing.
Runner (src/task_scheduler.py)
- When task.character_id is set and matches a built-in persona, prepend
the persona prompt to the task system prompt so the model speaks in
that voice while still knowing it's running a scheduled task.
- crew_member.personality still wins as the base; character_id stacks
on top.
I removed the .email-menu-wrap markup from email rows earlier but
left the JS that queries it and calls .addEventListener on the
result. Since the query returns null, every _createEmailItem call
threw and the row never made it into the list — most visibly:
clicking a sender name to filter by them didn't appear to work,
because the row wiring (including the sender click handler) was
ripped out mid-construction.
- Drop the unconditional menuWrap.addEventListener('click', ...)
block — there's no menu to open.
- Drop the early-return guard on touchstart that referenced the
removed wrap.
- The two remaining .email-menu-wrap queries are already guarded
with 'if (menuWrap)' so they safely no-op.
