Autosave writes the draft to the Maildir drafts folder and stops, while
the Drafts view is a notmuch path: query, so a freshly saved draft was
invisible until notmuch new ran. saveDraftNow() now emits draftSaved, and
MainWindow connects it to a new NotmuchWorker::indexDraftFile() that
indexes the one file the way moveMessages() does, with the previous
revision removed so a rewrite leaves no ghost.
The send path unlinks a draft that was indexed while being composed, so
draftRemoved -> removeIndexedFile() drops its entry too.
Measured: notmuch_database_index_file assigns NO tags (unlike notmuch
new, which adds draft inbox unread), so no tag-stripping is needed and the
draft cannot leak into a tag:inbox view.
Item 158.

The reply family is disabled on mail that arrived at an account with no
send_command, behind a ribbon in MessageView naming the account and the key
to add. save_message is deliberately never disabled: it is the escape hatch
for exactly that case.
The ribbon is a WIDGET in the pane's layout, never markup inside the web
view. Composing HTML from configuration into the one document that renders
input from strangers is the wrong direction, and the header row is already a
widget for the same reason.
Compose itself is disabled only when NO account can send, and that state is
not warned about at startup: an installation with no send_command anywhere
is a valid read-only installation.
Every reply resolves through messageScopeFor(), not threadFor(): a thread
row means the one message its card shows. Replying to a thread is
meaningless; a reply answers a message. The context is built from the
DATABASE rather than the model, the rule Restore already follows, because a
row whose state has not been re-queried carries stale values and a reply
built from one would carry the wrong recipients.
The mail root crosses from the worker as its own signal. There was no route
for it at all: mailRootOf() is file-static in notmuchworker.cpp, and item
124 records that composing a destination from database.path writes into the
Xapian tree under a split index. The test uses NotmuchFixture::splitIndex(),
the only layout where the two accessors disagree.
A thread row's path is RELATIVE to the mail root while a message row's is
absolute, so the account lookup matched nothing and the reply family was
dead on mail from an account that could send. Found by the positive guard
test rather than the negative one, which passed throughout for the wrong
reason.
The quit path checks the failed-save case FIRST. In the ordinary case
nothing is lost by saving; there, saving is what is already not working, so
the dialog says plainly that quitting loses that text rather than offering a
save that will fail again. Both dialogs name the composers, and the ordinary
one asks once whatever the count, because three modals in a row is worse
than a coarse answer. Its wording says drafts already saved stay in the
folder, so Discard cannot read as 'delete my three messages'.
The Save loop holds QPointers, not raw pointers. A deleteLater() posted
while a nested exec() runs IS processed by that nested loop, measured in a
standalone program: the guard nulls before the modal returns. Closing a
composer while the quit dialog is up therefore freed a window the loop then
called saveDraftNow() on, crashing at the exact moment the application
promised to preserve that text.
A compose request that matches nothing clears itself and says so. It was
cleared only on a match, so a message deleted between selection and Reply
left the request armed for the session: Reply did nothing, and the next
ordinary click on that message opened a composer nobody asked for while the
pane stayed blank.
Forward carries the original's attachments, which the context has always had
a field for and nothing ever filled, and seeds its HTML toggle from
[compose] send_html. Only Reply seeds that from the original.
save_message keeps its filename inside the chosen directory and no longer
overwrites a file already there. The check was correct and untested: the
test asserted through Attachment's helpers rather than through the function
production calls, so deleting the containment check outright left it green.

Del is the key a user reaches for and Ctrl+D is not a guess anyone makes.
Both are bound; Del is listed FIRST because that is the one the menus
advertise.
Bare, which is safe here for a reason that does not generalise to other
bare keys. A QAction shortcut is dispatched before the focused widget sees
the key, and Qt withholds only plain LETTERS from editable widgets, so by
the argument that made bare Return break the query bar this should delete
mail while the user edits a query. It does not: QLineEdit accepts the
ShortcutOverride for Delete itself, because Delete is one of its own
editing keys, which Return is not. Measured with and without an explicit
filter, the action fires 0 times either way, so no filter is added.
theDeleteKeyEditsTextInTheQueryBar() pins that Qt behaviour, since the
binding rests on it.
**Two defects surfaced from the second binding, both real.**
An action can now have more than one default, and KeyMap did not allow for
it. sequenceFor() decided "is this a built-in?" by comparing against
defaultSequenceFor(), which returns only the FIRST default, so the second
looked like a user override and won the "a user binding beats the default"
rule. The menus advertised Ctrl+D to a user who had configured nothing, and
sequenceFor() and defaultSequenceFor() disagreed about an untouched action.
isDefaultBinding() asks whether a sequence is ANY of the action's defaults;
when two defaults tie, the one defaultBindings() lists first wins, which is
the author's stated preference rather than an alphabetical accident.
And Restore read each message's origin tag FROM THE MODEL. The model's tags
come from the query, so a row whose delete has not been re-queried still
carries its pre-delete tags: measured `[inbox,unread]` on a message already
sitting in the trash, one run in three. No origin tag was found, the
message took the no-origin branch, and Restore moved it to the INBOX
instead of the folder it came from, silently, with the origin tag left
behind as the only evidence. A restore has to be right about the
destination or it is worse than doing nothing.
The trash-view Restore now resolves its messages against the DATABASE
first, through a new NotmuchWorker::resolveMessages(). That and
resolveThreadMessages() share one walk, resolveQuery(), rather than
growing a near-duplicate: they differ only in whether the terms are `id:`
or `thread:`. restoreSelectedThreads() already worked this way; this is the
same reasoning applied to the message-scoped path.
The flake was found by running one test five times rather than trusting a
single green, and the fix verified the same way: 5 of 5, then the full
suite three times over.

Delete thread MOVES every message now, and a move needs message ids and
file paths that the UI does not hold: a thread the user never expanded has
no nodes in the model for its replies, so those live only in the database.
resolveThreadMessages() answers with both, in one combined query, for the
same reason applyTagsToThreads() resolves threads here rather than in the
UI: a query per thread reopens the same Xapian cursor once per selected
row.
Paths come back RELATIVE to the database root, matching
ThreadSummary::firstMessagePath, because the UI knows accounts only by
their maildir, itself a database-relative prefix. Without them the caller
would know which messages to move and not where any of them belongs.
Tags come back too, because Restore reads a message's `deleted-from:` tag
to decide where to send it and an unexpanded thread's messages have no node
to read tags from.
They are joined by a TAB, not a space. A notmuch tag may absolutely contain
a space: the folder "Inbox/SlackBuilds users" produces
`deleted-from:Inbox/SlackBuilds users`, and splitting that on spaces
truncated the folder to "Inbox/SlackBuilds". Restore then moved the
messages into a folder of that name, CREATING it, so real messages ended up
in a directory mbsync does not sync and read as missing. Under `Create
Both` that folder can propagate to the mail server. A tab cannot appear in
a tag, since notmuch's own dump format is line-based and
whitespace-delimited.

Delete added the `deleted` tag and moved nothing, so deleted mail sat in
the inbox indefinitely with only a chip saying otherwise. It now moves the
file into the account's trash, records where it came from, and moves it
back on undo.
The origin is derived in the WORKER, not in the UI, because nowhere else
knows it. A Maildir filename does not record the folder a message came
from and notmuch cannot answer once the file has moved, so the moment the
old filename exists inside moveMessages() is the only place it can be
read. It travels back on a new messagesMovedFrom() signal, and the UI
turns it into a `deleted-from:<folder>` tag that Restore reads days later.
The account is resolved from the message's PATH rather than from its
account tag: that tag is optional config, so resolving through it would
silently make an account undeletable. That needed ThreadSummary to carry
the first message's path, since an unexpanded thread row is the ordinary
case and held no path at all. It is reported relative to the database
root, because the UI knows accounts only by their maildir, itself a
database-relative prefix.
accountForMessagePath() accepts both an absolute and a relative path, and
that is load-bearing rather than defensive: a thread row's path is
relative while a reply row's is absolute, since MimeParser has to open it.
Matching only one form left Delete on a reply resolving to no account and
moving nothing, which is the thread-row/reply-row asymmetry this file has
been bitten by before.
Tags are applied only once the worker CONFIRMS the move. Tagging first
would leave a message marked deleted in a folder it never left when a
rename fails, which is the half-done state this removes. A move made
during a sync is held in its own queue and flushed like a tag edit: the
existing queue carries tag changes only, so a move pushed through it would
apply `deleted` and never move the file.
An account with no trash configured reports through the status bar and
tags nothing, as a second line of defence behind the config-load warning.
Six existing tests used `delete` as a stand-in for a message-scoped tag
action on bare windows with no account; they move to `spam` and
`delete_thread`, which stayed tag-only, keeping the property each was
actually testing.

The first mutation here that is not a notmuch tag. Indexes the new path
before dropping the old one, since removing the last filename for a
message id deletes the database entry and every tag on it.
|

Selecting a thread root used to render the whole conversation, stubs
plus the last messages expanded, but only until the thread had been
expanded once. After that the identical click rendered a single message.
The user reported the inconsistency and asked for the single-message
behaviour throughout, and for the conversation view to go.
The cause was a timing one, not a race. The root card stands for the
thread's first message and onThreadSelected already preferred to load
just that, but the model learned the id only when the replies arrived,
so a fresh row fell through to a whole-thread render.
ThreadSummary now carries firstMessageId from the query itself, so the
id is known before any expansion and the fallback is unreachable. It is
free: notmuch_thread_get_toplevel_messages reads the index, not the
message files, and a walk with it is indistinguishable from one without
over a 36,615-thread database. Contrast recipients, which reads every
file and stays Sent-only.
The Sent view keeps showing what the user sent rather than the thread's
opening message, which is often someone else's. There is no
matched-messages iterator in libnotmuch, only a count, so that branch
walks oldest-first to the first NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_MATCH and stops:
0.146s against a 0.143s baseline over 4,515 threads.
onThreadLoaded merges into renderMessages, since onMessageLoaded was
already delegating to it for the actual painting. It still takes a list
because MessageView renders a list; collapsing that is a separate change
to a class with its own tests.
NotmuchWorker::loadThread is kept and documented as having no UI caller.
It is a tested way to read a thread's messages with the match set
resolved, used as a helper by the worker's own tests.

The dropdown was built from config, which names one subtree per account
and nothing below it, so it offered five entries and no way to say
Drafts or Sent. A rule wants to target those as often as a whole
account.
NotmuchWorker gains requestFolders/foldersReady, walking the tree from
notmuch_database_get_path() and listing every directory holding cur/.
It belongs there because the database root is notmuch's database.path
and the worker owns the only handle that can answer for it; putting the
root in config would be the second source of truth the design refuses.
From the disk rather than from the index: a folder mbsync created and
nothing has landed in yet is still a folder a rule may target, and a
list derived from indexed message paths would not offer it.
The two tests build their own fixture rather than extending the shared
one, which needs a nested folder and would otherwise move seven count
assertions in unrelated tests. Mutation-checked: flattening the walk to
non-recursive fails the listing test.

requestCounts counts threads, which is right for the placeholder pane.
A tagging rule tags messages, so a dry run over rules needs the message
count or it understates every rule that matches part of a thread.

Adds a `sent` key to [account.*] naming that account's sent folder, and a
Sent button beside the saved queries that composes its query from every
account carrying one. An account without the key is omitted silently, as a
real account may keep no sent mail locally. With no account selected the
button spans all of them; selecting one narrows it through the existing
scope wrap rather than a second path.
Composed at run time rather than shipped as a [queries] entry. A saved query
is one fixed string: it cannot narrow to the selected account, and it goes
stale the moment an account is added or a provider renames a folder.
The design and the measurements behind it are in
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-11-sent-mail-design.md. Three things there are
worth repeating here.
The composed path is QUOTED, and that is load-bearing. A real provider nests
its sent folder under a bracketed parent, and "[" and "]" are Xapian syntax:
unquoted, the query parses rather than matches and returns nothing while
looking entirely plausible. Composition happens in one place so there is one
chance to get it right, and a bracketed path is pinned in a test.
Recipients are opt-in per query, which is a performance contract rather than
a preference. notmuch_message_get_header(m, "To") is not served from the
index, it reads the message file: folding every thread of a 4411-thread
inbox took 38.2 seconds against 251 ms for the 601-thread sent view. The
worker skips the walk entirely unless asked, and the refresh path carries the
same flag so a background sync cannot blank the column mid-read. Always
folding is mutation-tested: the data would be right and only the cost wrong,
which nothing else here would notice.
The messages reached through the thread are owned by it and freed with it, so
recipientsOf() holds them raw and finishes while the thread is alive, exactly
as walkReplies does. An NmMessage wrapper there is a double-free.
Sent mail is presented flat, and the pane follows. A message you sent
otherwise drags in the replies you received, so a view labelled Sent shows
conversations rather than what you sent. ThreadListModel::setFlatMode() makes
hasChildren() and ReplyCountRole answer differently and changes nothing else;
runQuery() sets it on EVERY run, so any other query restores the tree on its
way through and the flag cannot outlive the button that set it. The pane
needed its own fix for the same reason: the single-message path depends on a
field only filled when a thread is expanded, which never happens in a flat
list, so loadThread() gained matchedOnly and drops the messages that did not
match instead of rendering them as stubs.
Recipients replace the sender through the existing SendersRole rather than a
new one, so the delegate needs no branch and cannot disagree with the model
about which name a row shows. It falls back to the sender when a To header is
absent or unparseable, since a blank where a name belongs reads as a
rendering fault.
Address parsing uses GMime: a display name may contain a comma, so
"Rossi, Mario" <m@example.org>, info@example.net is two addresses and
splitting reports three. internet_address_list_parse returns NULL for an
empty string, which is a crash if unguarded.
Backlog item 63.

Sorting was hardcoded NEWEST_FIRST. Two orders only: notmuch's other two are
MESSAGE_ID and UNSORTED, neither of which is an order a human wants, and sorting
by sender or subject would have to happen in the model after results arrive,
which fights the batching that makes a large query paint immediately.
loadThread keeps OLDEST_FIRST unconditionally: a thread reads chronologically
whichever way the list is sorted.
|
|
loadMessage queries by id: and returns one MessageRef, always matched, since the
user asked for that message by clicking its row and a stub would answer the
wrong question. An unknown id emits an empty vector rather than an error: a
stale row after a reindex is an ordinary race, not a failure worth the status
bar. The signal fires even when empty so the UI handler runs instead of waiting
for a reply that never comes.
The branch in onThreadSelected is placed BEFORE threadAt(), which is the whole
trap. threadAt takes a top-level row number and a child's row number indexes its
siblings, so handing a message row's number to it loads whichever thread happens
to sit at that position. Mutation-checked: with the branch disabled the test
reports thread 't1' for a reply belonging to 't2', a wrong answer plausible
enough to survive review.
m_currentMessageId and m_currentThreadId are mutually exclusive and each clears
the other, so a queued reply can tell which kind of selection it belongs to.
onMessageLoaded carries a third guard onThreadLoaded does not need: a reply
landing after the selection moved to a thread row would render one message where
the conversation belongs.
No mark-read timer for a message row in this pass. Marking one message of a
thread read is a per-message tag write and the pending-edit map is keyed by
thread; item 28 is the record of what happens when that count goes wrong.
|
|
loadThread could not be extended to do this. It walks
notmuch_query_search_messages, and a message obtained that way returns NULL from
notmuch_message_get_replies (notmuch.h:1617-1628), so that walk cannot produce
reply depth at all. The tree comes from notmuch_thread_get_toplevel_messages
instead, and the pane keeps the flat list it wants.
walkReplies takes raw notmuch_message_t*, against this file's rule that every
handle is RAII-owned. Messages reached through a thread are freed with it
(notmuch.h:1637), so an NmMessage wrapper would destroy memory the thread frees
again. The NmThread in the caller is what keeps them alive.
Every message in the thread gets a node regardless of the query: the list is
where the reply count is read, and hiding unmatched replies would make that
count disagree with the rows under it.
Both tests mutation-checked. Flattening depth fails the depth assertion, and
skipping the thread walk fails it too, so neither passes against the two
mistakes the notmuch API invites.

Nothing in the UI reported database-level facts: every query gave a
thread count for that query, and nothing said how much mail there is
overall. A dialog under Help now shows messages, threads and tags from
notmuch, plus the account list from config, since notmuch does not model
accounts at all.
A separate worker call rather than a reuse of requestCounts, which counts
threads to match the row count of a query. This counts messages, which is
what a user means by "how much mail is in here". The test pins 4 messages
in 3 threads against the fixture and fails if they are ever made equal,
so routing both through one count cannot pass unnoticed.
Every field starts at -1 and renders as "unknown" when notmuch could not
answer it. Printing 0 would say the Maildir is empty, and telling someone
their mail is gone is the worst way to report an index that failed to
open.
The dialog opens showing "Counting..." rather than blocking, since
counting every message is not free on a large database. That makes two
lifetimes matter: the reply can arrive after the dialog is closed, so the
label is a QPointer, and the dialog can be closed and reopened while a
count runs, so a generation counter drops the older answer. The test
drains DeferredDelete before firing the late reply, because close()
deletes through deleteLater and without that the dangling case is never
actually reached.

An empty right pane said nothing, and multi-select made it a routine
sight. It now carries the wordmark, thread counts that run their query
when clicked, and a sync line that appears only when something needs
attention.
Rendered into the existing web view as a third document shape, so there
is one document path and one set of security rules. The brand palette is
a deliberate exception to deriving colours from the desktop theme, since
a logo is brand rather than chrome; the theme still picks which of the
two sets is used.
Counts refresh when the pane is about to show rather than in the
background: one goes stale the moment a tag is edited, and refreshing one
nobody is looking at is work for nothing. A generation counter discards a
superseded reply, and a late answer cannot repaint over an opened thread.
The helper lines are real links because JavaScript is off in this
profile. The handler is gated on the placeholder actually being
displayed, so the same URL inside a message body is dropped: a stranger's
mail must not drive the thread list, even to run a harmless query.
Three defects found while building, all silent:
- Every CSS percentage was invalid. QString::arg does not collapse "%%"
into "%", so the document carried "50%%" and the browser dropped each
declaration holding one, disabling the mask, the glow and both radial
gradients while still rendering something plausible. Substitution is by
named token now, which cannot collide with a percent sign.
- A geometry probe endorsed the layout while that was live, because it
measured only properties without percentages.
- The font test passed against a build with one face missing, since the
other satisfied both of its checks on its own.
The mockup's light values needed correcting against a real pane: the grid
vanished at a 2% luminance step on white, and the glow subtracts light
there rather than adding it, washing the pane. Strength only, not hue.

A tag edit sent while another process holds notmuch's write lock does not
fail: the read-write open blocks and then succeeds. Measured against
Slackware's notmuch, 9.158s against a 12s hold, status SUCCESS. Since the
worker is a single thread, that blocked open holds up every read queued
behind it, so the message pane freezes on whichever thread was selected
first and replays the queue when the lock releases.
The window now defers instead. While SyncMonitor reports a sync running, a
tag change is held rather than sent, and flushed when the sync ends. The
optimistic update stands in the meantime, so the row keeps its tag and the
edit still counts toward the unsynced indicator, which is what the quit
prompt reads.
The original diagnosis was that the open fails and the edit is discarded,
and a retry was built on it. That was wrong: the error branch in
notmuchworker.cpp is unreachable through lock contention. The premise was
taken from a plausible-looking error path without provoking the condition,
and measurement disproved it. The backlog entry records this rather than
quietly correcting it.
Verified by hand against a real blocking open, which the tests cannot reach:
they drive the deferral through the meta-object and never take a lock. Both
locks held for 100s with a tag edit made during the hold. Row kept the tag,
status did not expire, indicator rose, window stayed responsive, held edit
sent itself on release.
The 2s SyncMonitor polling window is knowingly left open: a sync starting
between polls is invisible for up to 2s and an edit there still blocks.
SyncMonitor::lockHeldIn() would close it at the cost of one file read per
tag action, and is recorded as the option to revisit.
Also fixes revertPendingTagChange() clearing the entire undo stack after any
rejected write, found while working on this.
Backlog: item 37 done, and item 46 added for a test that fails only under
the offscreen platform, where an 800x800 screen clamps a restored 940px
window. Pre-existing and unrelated; the suite is green otherwise.

Query bar completion cannot offer tag names without a way to enumerate
them, and libnotmuch had no call wired up for it. Follows the existing
generation-counter pattern; the result crosses the thread boundary as a
QStringList.

Owns the only notmuch database handle. Queries run read-only and emit
threads in batches of 200 with a generation counter so the UI can discard
superseded results. Tag mutation closes the read-only handle, opens
read-write, applies, and closes, holding the process-wide write lock for
milliseconds rather than blocking a concurrent `notmuch new`.
Tested against a throwaway database built in a QTemporaryDir, superseding
the spec's original "no unit test" position: applyTags is the only code
here that writes to a notmuch index. The fixture never touches ~/Mail or
~/.notmuch-config.
Two fixes against the drafted implementation, both caught by mutating the
code and confirming exactly one test failed:
- loadThread conflated "no query given" with "query matched nothing in
this thread", so filtering a thread down to zero matches rendered every
message expanded. Tracked with an explicit haveMatchSet flag.
- applyTags now documents why a stale message id must skip rather than
abort: notmuch_database_find_message reports SUCCESS with a null message
for an unknown id, and the live ids alongside it still need tagging.
Note for fixture authors: notmuch synchronizes maildir flags with tags at
index time, so a file named `...:2,S` is indexed without the unread tag no
matter what [new] tags requests. Unread fixture messages go in new/.
