+/// One completion candidate from the address book.
+///
+/// Deliberately only two fields. PHOTO, ADR and TEL are read past and dropped:
+/// the user was asked and did not want a second use for the store, so anything
+/// the completion cannot use is not carried.
+struct Contact
+{
+    /// The card's FN, already unescaped. Empty is valid: a card with an
+    /// address but no name completes on the address alone.
+    QString name;

+    QString email;

+
+/// Reads a vdirsyncer contacts directory of vCard 3.0 files.
+///
+/// A namespace of free functions over values, like SearchTerm and MimeParser,
+/// so the parse is testable without a widget and without a QCompleter. The
+/// caller (MainWindow) holds the returned list and hands it to both consumers.
+///
+/// **No new dependency for this.** libical is installed but its vCard parser is
+/// 4.0 while this store is 3.0.20, and libicalvcal reads vCalendar 1.0 rather
+/// than vCard. Two fields and a directory walk are the proportionate answer.
+namespace ContactStore {
+
+/// Joins folded lines back into one logical line.
+///
+/// A vCard line may be split between any two characters by inserting CRLF and
+/// one linear whitespace character (RFC 2426). Unfolding removes the newline
+/// and that one whitespace character and nothing else, so a trailing space on
+/// the first line survives. A fold may land mid-token or inside base64, which
+/// is why this runs over the whole file before any field is looked at.
+QString unfold(const QString &text);
+
+/// Parses one card's already-unfolded text into one Contact per EMAIL line.
+///
+/// Every entry carries the card's single FN. A card with no EMAIL yields an
+/// empty list; a card with no FN yields a Contact whose name is empty. The
+/// property name is matched case-insensitively, and the field/value split is
+/// on the first colon that is not inside a double-quoted parameter value, so
+/// `EMAIL;TYPE=WORK:a@example.org` parses.
+QList<Contact> parseCard(const QString &unfoldedText);
+
+/// Walks `directory` recursively and returns every card found, de-duplicated
+/// and sorted.
+///
+/// Every `*.vcf` at any depth is read, because a vdir keeps one subdirectory
+/// per collection. A file that cannot be read or contributes no EMAIL is
+/// skipped rather than fatal: one bad card must not cost the other 116. The
+/// result is de-duplicated on the address, case-insensitively, and sorted by
+/// name then address. A non-existent or empty directory yields an empty list
+/// and no warning, since a machine with no vdir is an ordinary machine.
