Merge branch 'compose-and-send': composing and sending mail
Item 123, built over 2026-08-20 to 2026-08-23 in thirteen tasks against docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-20-compose-and-send-design.md. The application writes mail now. A composer window per message, markdown as the body, drafts autosaving into the account's Maildir, and sending through a per-account command on stdin rather than any network protocol of this program's own. A countdown with an Undo stands between pressing Send and the command running. Two things came in alongside it. The notmuch auto-tagging hooks moved here from the retiring `mailctl` project and learned that mail this application files itself never arrived, so sent mail and drafts stop appearing in the inbox. And the v1/v2 language is retired: semver on the user-visible surface is the rule, and those labels described a split that composing made obsolete. Hand tested against a fake send command rather than a real one, deliberately: New, Reply and Forward all produce correct messages, a forwarded attachment survives intact, and the sent copy is filed. That testing found the two defects fixed on this branch, and both were invisible to the suite: a composer orphaned by quitting the main window, and every sent message tagged `inbox`. Twenty-two defects were found in the plan document's own draft code while building it, which is why CLAUDE.md says to treat every code block in a plan as a draft.
