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.
