11 daysfix(details): close the dialog before the search runs, not afterDanilo M.1-4/+8
The connection is direct, so emitting first runs the query synchronously: the model clears and the pane blanks while the modal dialog is still up, holding the m_items it was built from. Closing first leaves no window in which the dialog describes a thread the pane has already dropped.
11 daysfeat(search): run a search asked for from the message paneDanilo M.3-2/+53
The panes carry a finished query and know nothing of the query bar; the window sets the field and calls the existing runner, so the account scope and the generation counter keep working as they do for a typed query. Narrowing combines here rather than in a pane, because only the window can see what the bar currently holds. The tag strip's chips join the header, the body selection and the details dialog as a fourth surface. Also fixes the details dialog to actually close when a search is chosen: the comment above the connection already described this requirement, but nothing called accept() or reject(), so the dialog stayed open, the query ran behind it, and the modal exec() never returned. This hung the whole test suite on QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen once a covering test was added.
11 daysfeat(details): rebuild the message details dialog as rowsDanilo M.4-49/+247
A text box could not carry a per-value context menu without parsing displayed text back into structure, and the user did not want a text box. Each row now holds its own value, its message index and its query, built from the parsed message. Every value label states Qt::PlainText. The QPlainTextEdit this replaced was plain by design rather than by style: header values come from strangers, and a QLabel guesses the format under AutoText.
11 daysfeat(search): search for the selected body textDanilo M.2-0/+54
selectedText() reads the selection with no script injection; JavaScript stays disabled in the profile. The page's standard menu is kept and the entries are added to it below a separator. The quoting is tested through a function taking the text, so it needs no live web engine: a selection is arbitrary prose and can carry quotes, newlines and query syntax, none of which notmuch reports as an error.
11 daysfeat(search): offer the header's fields for searchingDanilo M.2-0/+109
The menu lists what is searchable rather than hit-testing which line of a rich-text label was clicked, which breaks as soon as the label wraps. The values are collected by the pass that renders the header, so nothing parses the markup back into structure. From, To and Cc appear only for a single-message thread, sharing the condition with the header's own display: a thread's recipient differs message to message, and the menu must not offer what the header is not stating. The test fixture's Date: header named the wrong weekday, which Qt::RFC2822Date rejects outright, so no date offer would have been produced from it.
11 daysrefactor(tags): name what the overflow chip's x actually isDanilo M.1-4/+7
The loop was assigning a variable it never read, overwritten on every pass and used only after, which reads as an accumulator and is not one. The overflow chip's position is derived where it is used instead.
11 daysfeat(tags): hit-test a chip in the tag stripDanilo M.2-4/+73
chipRectAt() is the single source of a chip's geometry, used by paintEvent and by the hit test, so the drawn chip and the clickable chip cannot drift. The +N chip yields nothing: it stands for a list of tags rather than one, so there is no single value a search could be built from.
11 daysrefactor(mime): expose the Date: header parse as MimeParser::parseDateDanilo M.2-5/+21
The date search needs it and the logic already existed inside a file-local function, including the fix for Qt::RFC2822Date rejecting a string that carries a trailing timezone comment. Extracted rather than rewritten, so the second caller cannot end up without that fix.
11 daysfeat(search): build notmuch terms for the right-click actionsDanilo M.3-0/+188
One place for the query grammar behind every search surface, with no widget involved so it is tested without a painter or a web engine. extend() parenthesises both sides. The query bar may hold a hand-written disjunction, and 'a or b AND c' binds as 'a or (b AND c)', which widens a search meant to narrow it and reports nothing.
11 daysfeat(queries): create a tagging rule from a saved queryDanilo M.1-0/+21
Right-click a stored saved query and the rules dialog opens on a new rule carrying its query, with the tags left empty and focused. Generated entries are excluded: their query is composed from the accounts, so a rule made from one would freeze a snapshot that goes stale. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
11 daysfeat(rules): seed the rules dialog even when it is openDanilo M.2-3/+13
The dialog is non-modal and single-instance, so a second Create tagging rule reaches one that is already up. Seeding it beats dropping the request, which would read as a broken menu item. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
11 daysfeat(rules): open the rules dialog on a seeded ruleDanilo M.2-0/+62
The seed is a whole TagRule rather than a query string, so item 78 can reuse the same path to seed from a sender. It is a pending edit like one made with Add rule: appended, selected, Add tags focused, and written only on Save. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
11 daysfix(rules): stop a rule with a spaced name from vanishing on saveDanilo M.4-23/+323
A rule named "justeat orders" in the field labelled Name was written to rules.json correctly and then dropped by every reader, because load() required ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$ and the save path validated nothing. The rule stayed in the file, invisible in the dialog, never applied by the post-new hook, and the next save from the dialog would have deleted it outright. The asymmetry was the defect, not the pattern. TagRules::validate() is now the single predicate: the dialog refuses to save against it, and load() uses it to repair rather than drop, so a rule that fails is visible and fixable instead of silently discarded. - The typed name is sanitised into an id when the field is committed, so the field shows what will reach the file. uniqueId() suffixes a collision, since sanitising is many-to-one and can manufacture the duplicate that load() then drops. - An already-legal id is never rewritten, including one like "a---b" that sanitising would otherwise collapse. Rewriting valid ids would churn a file mailctl also reads. - A bad id loads repaired, with the warning kept: what is on disk is not what the hook runs until the file is saved back. Deliberately not mirrored into mailrules.py. The hook tags real mail unattended every ten minutes, where silently renaming an id is worse than dropping the rule; the file converges as soon as the dialog saves. No format change, so no version bump and no two-repo commitment. The load warning was not missing: it had been showing "1 rule could not be read and was skipped" on every open, in the same font and colour as the intro prose two lines above it, and read as more explanation. It is now a red banner beside Save, with an icon and a dismiss button, and it says the rules need attention rather than that they were skipped, which is no longer true. Dismissal is per-appearance only; a persistent one would re-hide the problem that went unnoticed for a session. Both new dialog tests were confirmed to fail with the sanitiser reverted, and the banner's styling, position and dismissal each fail under mutation. 20 of 20 suites green, 34 tests in test_tagrules. Closes item 83. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfix(queries): stop writing keys that carry no informationDanilo M.1-4/+12
Saving a generated entry wrote `"query": ""` and `"flat": true` alongside its generator. Both reload correctly, so nothing was broken, but queries.json is meant to be hand-edited and each redundant key is one more thing to read past. A generated entry has no query of its own, and the sent generator already implies flat. Written now only when they say something, which is the rule `pinned` and `account` already followed: `query` is skipped for a generated entry in favour of `generated`, and `flat` is skipped when the generator implies it. Omitting `flat` is only safe because loadSavedQueries() reapplies it from the generator, so the two are coupled: the mutation that stops reapplying it fails this test and one other, in both suites. That is deliberate, since a round-trip test can otherwise pass while quietly writing less than it reads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(queries): edit, pin and delete a saved query from the UIDanilo M.4-7/+218
Item 82. Saving a query worked and nothing else did: changing one field meant retyping the whole query under the same name, and deleting one meant editing the file by hand. An action that creates something the UI cannot then change or remove is incomplete, and the user hit it within minutes of the first hand test. Right-clicking a saved query, on its button or its menu entry, now offers Edit, Move to menu / Show as a button, and Delete. Every path funnels through one replaceSavedQuery(), which matches on the name the dialog was OPENED with rather than the one it returns, so a rename replaces the entry instead of leaving the original behind beside a new one, and which merges the stored entry's unknown fields in a single place rather than in three. Delete confirms first: the rule against confirmation dialogs covers tag mutations, which the undo stack can take back, and this writes user config that it cannot. Two cases the item did not anticipate. A generated entry has no query to edit, so the dialog shows its composed query read-only rather than offering a field that changes nothing, and carries `generated` and `flat` through an edit rather than letting it decay into a plain entry holding a snapshot of what it resolved to today. And the overwrite notice had to learn to ignore the entry being edited, since warning that "Inbox" already exists while editing Inbox is noise. This also fixes a defect that predated it and was already reachable from the save path. rebuildSavedQueryRow() called deleteLater() on the old row, which defers destruction to the event loop, so the stale row went on answering findChild() and every lookup after a rebuild reported the state from before the edit. Nothing looked wrong on screen, which is why it surfaced only as three tests failing against a row that had in fact been rebuilt correctly. Five tests, three mutations. Matching on the returned name fails two, never writing the file fails three, and dropping the unknown-field merge fails one. That last one initially proved nothing: it drove UNPIN, which copies the stored entry and so carries `unknown` along by itself, and passed with the merge deleted. It now goes through the edit path with a replacement that has none, which is what the dialog actually returns. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(queries): make Sent a saved query rather than a fixed buttonDanilo M.3-26/+111
The user asked whether the default queries could be unified with Sent. The answer runs the other way: Sent joins the saved queries rather than the saved queries becoming hardcoded. Inbox, Unread and Important are complete strings that depend on nothing and can never go stale, so generating them would buy nothing and would cost the four things the file just gained: reordering, unpinning, renaming and deleting. Hardcoding them would also make them undeletable, which is a regression for anyone who does not want one of them. Sent is different only in that its query CANNOT be stored: it is composed from every account's `sent` key, so a stored copy goes stale the moment a folder is renamed. That is a property of Sent, not of "default queries". Storing the GENERATOR rather than its output keeps both halves: `"generated": "sent"` still resolves from the accounts at click time, and the entry is an ordinary row that can be reordered, renamed, unpinned or removed. The row now follows one rule instead of carrying one member the user did not own. Two properties had to travel with the entry. The composed query, resolved through Config::resolvedQuery() so what lands in the bar is what actually ran; and FLAT mode, since a sent view lists messages and a threaded one folds every reply back into the conversation the user sent one message into. The sent generator implies flat rather than trusting the file to say so, because a hand-edited row would otherwise produce a threaded sent view. An unknown generator is reported but the row is KEPT: a later build may know it, and dropping it here would delete it from the file on the next save, which is the same data loss the unknown-field handling exists to prevent. A generator whose accounts configure nothing is skipped entirely, exactly as the hardcoded button was hidden rather than offering one that finds nothing. Eight new tests. The four pre-existing Sent tests reach this through migration and were left alone, which is what proves the migrated path still behaves; the new ones cover a STORED file, which is the path every launch after the first takes. Mutations: a generator resolving to nothing fails three, ignoring flat fails two, and not skipping an empty generator fails one. A rename test guards the property the change exists for, since anything keyed on the literal name "Sent" would break it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfix(queries): give Save query a clearer icon and a labelDanilo M.1-2/+17
document-save is the floppy/disk shape. It means "write a file somewhere", which leaves the user to guess what is being written, and next to a row of saved-query buttons it reads as an unrelated control. Saving a query is bookmarking a search, so bookmark-new is the icon every desktop already uses for "keep this for later". Verified to resolve with real art in the desktop's actual theme rather than assumed present. The button also shows its label now instead of the icon alone. It sits among text buttons, and an icon on its own next to them reads as a different kind of control; it is also the one action whose meaning an icon cannot carry, since "save" is a familiar shape whose question is always "save what?". The toolbar is unaffected and still follows the desktop's own button style. The label is the button's own text rather than the action's. "&Save query..." is menu phrasing, and setDefaultAction copies it verbatim, so the button rendered an accelerator ampersand and the ellipsis that promises a dialog. The action keeps both for the menu it lives in, and the test asserts the override survives setDefaultAction rather than trusting that it does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(queries): right-align the More queries menu, and keep the row when ↵Danilo M.1-4/+12
nothing is pinned The saved-query buttons are the row's content and read as a set; the overflow menu is a control over that set, so it belongs apart from them rather than trailing the last button. Moving the stretch above it pushes it to the right edge. Doing that exposed a latent defect in the same function. The row hid itself when its layout held nothing but the stretch, which was written as a count of one and happened to be right only because the stretch went last. With the stretch moved the count changes, and the condition as written would have hidden a row holding only the menu: a config with saved queries but none pinned would have had no route to any of them, the menu buried along with the row. The check now counts the content added before the stretch and treats an unpinned query as content in its own right. Both are mutation-checked. Putting the stretch back at the end fails the alignment test, and restoring the old hide condition fails the new one, which asserts the row survives with nothing but unpinned queries in it. The alignment is asserted on the layout's own ordering rather than on x coordinates, since a geometry assertion would also pass for a row that merely ran out of width.

12 daysfix(queries): put the Save query button beside the query barDanilo M.2-0/+20
The spec asked for "a Save query button beside the search bar" and what shipped was a menu entry and Ctrl+S. The user went looking for the button where the design said it would be and did not find it. Saving is a thing you decide on while looking at the results, so it belongs where the results came from rather than behind a menu or a remembered chord. The button takes the action through setDefaultAction rather than a second connect, so it inherits the text, icon, tooltip and enabled state and cannot end up offering to save an empty query while the menu entry correctly refuses. The mutation that replaces it with a plain clicked() connection fails the test. Also records item 82: a saved query cannot be edited, unpinned or deleted from the UI. Item 23 specified saving and nothing else, and that is exactly what was built, so the only way to unpin a query is a text editor or retyping it in full under the same name. An action that creates something the UI cannot then change or remove is incomplete, and this was found within minutes of the first hand test. It is filed as a defect rather than an enhancement, and the spec now says so where a reader would otherwise take the design for complete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(queries): save a query from the UI, and split the buttons off the query rowDanilo M.6-38/+399
Second half of item 23, on top of the storage change. A query can now be kept without hand-editing a file, and the row of buttons no longer grows without bound. Ctrl+S opens a dialog on whatever is in the query bar, taking a name, an optional account scope and whether the query is pinned. It preselects the account already chosen in the dropdown, since that is the scope the user is looking at, and it says so when a name is about to replace an existing query rather than refusing the name: overwriting a saved query on purpose is a normal edit, and the only thing worth preventing is doing it without noticing. Saving over an entry keeps the stored entry's unknown fields rather than the dialog's fresh value, so a field written by a later build survives being edited here. The saved queries move to a row of their own beneath the query bar, pinned ones as buttons and the rest behind a More queries menu that only exists when something is in it. The ponytail note that stood in the query row predicted exactly this: an unbounded list of buttons sharing the row squeezed the field. Sent moves down with them and is still not a saved query, for the reason already recorded there. A saved query's account scope goes through the account DROPDOWN rather than being baked into the query text. runQuery() already wraps the query in the selected account's path, so pre-scoping here would apply it twice, and setting the dropdown also shows the user which scope they are in. An unscoped query clears the selection rather than inheriting whatever the last one left, which is the same defect the rules preview had. Seven tests, three mutations. Ignoring the pinned flag fails two of them, pre-scoping the text instead of setting the dropdown fails two, and letting an unscoped query inherit the previous account fails one. The menu-absence test initially passed against no implementation at all, since it only asserted a widget was missing; it now proves the row was populated first, which is the guard that class of test needs. Two existing invariants caught real omissions rather than needing adjustment: every registered action must appear in KeyMap::knownActions(), which is what gives it a configurable binding, and every action needs its own icon.

12 daysfeat(queries): store saved queries in queries.jsonDanilo M.2-11/+239
First half of item 23. The storage moves out of the [queries] INI section into ~/.config/qtmaildir/queries.json; the UI that writes it comes next. The INI could not express order. QSettings reads a section through childKeys(), which sorts alphabetically and never follows the file, so the saved-query buttons could not be arranged and config.cpp carried a comment saying a hand-rolled parser would be needed to change that. queries.json is an ordered array and nothing sorts it on load. That also makes room for the two fields the save dialog needs: pinned, which decides whether a query is a button or a menu entry, and account, which scopes it. account stores the account KEY, not the maildir path, so it does not duplicate config that already lives in the account section and go stale when the user edits it. Config::resolvedQuery() composes through Account::scopedQuery(), whose parentheses are load-bearing: path:... and a or b binds as (path:... and a) or b, so an unparenthesised disjunction escapes its scope and matches every account. A key naming an account that no longer exists resolves to the bare query rather than a scope built from an empty maildir, which would be path:"/**" and match everything. Migration reads [queries] once, when queries.json is absent, marks every entry pinned so the query row does not empty on the first launch after an upgrade, and leaves the INI section untouched. Stripping it would mean rewriting a hand-edited file with QSettings, which drops comments and key order across the whole file. The format follows rules.json in shape only: a version and unknown fields preserved at both levels, so a file written by a later build survives a save from this one. None of its two-implementation machinery is here, because queries have exactly one reader; the version constant says so where a future reader will look. A file whose version this build does not know is refused AND blocks the save, so a newer document is never overwritten with a lossy reading of itself. Twelve tests, each checked against a mutation that puts the corresponding bug back: sorting on load fails three of them, stripping the INI section after migration fails the byte-identical assertion, concatenating the scope without parentheses fails the disjunction test, and dropping unknown-field preservation fails the round trip. The migration test compares the INI file's BYTES rather than re-reading it through QSettings, which would have passed against a rewrite that kept every value while dropping the comments. startup_query still resolves by name, but its fallback now returns the first entry in the user's own order rather than the alphabetically first one. That is user-visible for a config whose startup_query matches nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(rules): preview a rule's mail in the thread listDanilo M.4-0/+107
Item 77. The dialog could say how many messages a rule matched and not which ones. A Preview in list button now runs the selected rule's query in the main window; the dialog stays open, since comparing the rule against its results is the point. Two constraints from the backlog entry, both now asserted and both mutation-checked. The query runs exactly as stored, with no tag:new and no wrapping parentheses. The post-new hook adds those when it applies a rule, and a preview that copied them would match nothing outside a sync window, since tag:new is set only on mail that has just arrived. The account selector is cleared first. runQuery() wraps the bar's text in the selected account's scope, and a rule query usually names its own path already, so previewing one with an account selected would scope it twice and show an empty list, which reads as "this rule collects no mail". The second mutation only fails once the test's config has an account to select: with the default empty config the selector sits on "All accounts" anyway, and asserting that a preview leaves it there passed against the mutation. Recorded in the test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfix(rules): a long rule no longer squeezes the rule list awayDanilo M.2-6/+100
Item 80. A rule with eight From conditions left the list showing about one and a half rows. The list was added with stretch 1 and the form below it with none, which looks decisive and is not: a stretch factor only distributes space above each widget's minimum, and the form's minimum grew with every condition row, so each row came straight out of the list. The builder asked for 120px with one row and 414px with eight. A QSplitter now divides the list from the editor, so the balance is the user's and is saved beside the column widths, and the condition rows sit in a QScrollArea capped at 190px so the editor cannot grow without bound however the splitter is set. The scroll area is what text mode hides; hiding the builder inside it would leave an empty frame. Three measures were tried in the test before one told the bug and the fix apart, and two passed against broken code: the dialog's minimumSizeHint does not track form rows and read 580 either way, and a qMin against the scroll area's own hint read small whether or not the cap was set, since an uncapped maximumHeight is QWIDGETSIZE_MAX. What survives mutation is the editor pane's minimum inside the splitter, plus the cap read directly, and both are asserted. A row's size hint is invalid until the event loop runs, so the test calls processEvents after selecting a rule or it measures the same height twice.

12 daysfix(rules): save the window size on Cancel and Save, not only on XDanilo M.2-8/+19
The geometry was saved from closeEvent, and neither dialog button sends one: Cancel calls reject(), Save calls accept(), and only the window manager's X button produces a QCloseEvent. So the size and the column widths were kept for the one route out of three that a user almost never takes, and a resize followed by Cancel came back forgotten. The save moves to a done(int) override, which both buttons funnel through and which QWidget::close() also reaches. The test that covered this passed against the bug because it asserted with close(). It now drives all three routes rather than trusting one to stand for the others, and shows the dialog before the close leg: close() on a widget that was never visible returns early without reaching done(), so that assertion would otherwise prove nothing. Both traps recorded in CLAUDE.md, since neither is specific to this dialog. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(rules): the rules window keeps its size and column widthsDanilo M.2-6/+126
Item 75. saveGeometry() and the rule list header's saveState() go to uistate.conf under keys of their own, written on closeEvent so a size survives Cancel as well as Save. The 760x520 resize stays as the first-run fallback. The backlog's approach was wrong on one point and a test caught it. It said to drop the resizeColumnToContents calls once a saved header state exists, which fixes the restore and leaves the original defect standing: with nothing saved, a width the user had just dragged was still discarded by the next add or delete. Each column is instead auto-sized once, on its first fill, after which the width belongs to the user however it was set. Two flags, because the count column is filled later by a reply from the worker. The window stays a QDialog. Making it a top-level window needs the unsaved-edit story that being modal currently sidesteps, and that is its own decision rather than part of this item. Both tests redirect XDG_STATE_HOME as well as XDG_CONFIG_HOME, so they cannot write the real uistate.conf. The geometry is asserted on the stored value rather than the reopened frame, per item 46: the offscreen platform does not honour a resize. Also corrects setFolders' doc comment, which still described the folder list as coming from Config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfeat(rules): every Maildir folder in the Folder dropdownDanilo M.3-10/+71
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
12 daysfix(rules): keep the text-mode toggle reachableDanilo M.2-6/+29
Ticking "Edit as text" was a one-way trip: the only way back to the rows was closing the dialog and reopening it. The checkbox was parented to the builder widget and sat on the match row, and switching to text mode hides that widget, so the toggle disappeared along with the rows it governs. Move it to the query row, which is visible in both modes. The existing tests all passed against this, because they drove the toggle through setChecked and then asserted on the checked STATE. A hidden checkbox reports its state perfectly well, so every one of those assertions held while the widget was unreachable. The new test asks the question that matters, whether the toggle would be on screen, and it uses isVisibleTo since nothing is isVisible on a dialog that was never shown. Worth recording how close the mutation check came to endorsing this too. Reparenting the checkbox alone left it in the query row's layout, so it stayed visible and the test still passed. Only restoring the full shipped shape, parent and layout together, reproduced the fault and failed the test. A mutation that does not reproduce the original bug proves nothing about the test that is meant to catch it. The spec's layout sketch carried the same error and is corrected, with the reason, so the next reader does not reintroduce it.
12 daysfeat(rules): a folder dropdown, so the path suffix is never typedDanilo M.3-6/+98
12 daysfeat(rules): report the text-mode refusal without a modalDanilo M.2-4/+42
Leaving text mode with a query the builder cannot represent has to refuse, since there are no rows that mean that query. It announced this with a QMessageBox, which made the branch untestable: a modal blocks the test that reaches it, so the one path that can strand a user was the one path shipping unverified. Say it in the warning label the dialog already has instead. That also suits the moment better, since it does not interrupt someone mid-edit to tell them something the label can hold while they keep typing, and it matches how the tag dialog reports a bad tag. Returning to the rows now calls showWarnings(), because the refusal writes into the same label the load warnings use and a stale complaint would otherwise outlive the query that caused it. The test drives the refusal and the recovery, and asserts the warning appears and then clears. Verified by mutation: letting the checkbox clear regardless fails it. warningTextForTest uses isVisibleTo rather than isVisible. Every child of a dialog that was never shown reports isVisible() false, so the seam would have reported no warning whatever the label held, which is a probe that cannot see the thing it checks.
12 daysfeat(rules): text mode, and leave untouched rules unwrittenDanilo M.2-1/+76
12 daysdocs: record the rules dialog data-loss defect as item 79Danilo M.1-2/+3
Opening the tagging rules dialog and pressing Save destroyed the first rule in the list, without any editing. The rule lost its query and its tags, then vanished entirely on the next load, since a rule with an empty query is dropped as malformed. Reproduced against the released tag rather than the branch, in a throwaway worktree at 9585674 with a two-rule fixture: constructing the dialog and running its save path left one rule of two. onSelectionChanged blocked signals for the note widget only, while m_enabled::toggled two lines later reached applyEditsToCurrentRule, which writes every field from widgets the loader has not filled yet. The existing comment there shows the hazard was known for one widget and not extended to the other. The fix landed with the builder work: the reloading flag now covers the whole load, and switchingRulesDoesNotLeakRowsBetweenThem is the regression test, verified by mutation to fail without the guard. The live rules file had one casualty, the account rule sitting first in the list, with both its query and its tags empty while every sibling was intact. Restored from the shell backup that the earlier migration kept and verified through mailctl's own reader. The rule had stopped tagging, but only one message had arrived meanwhile; that message is now tagged and the account is complete again at 14969 of 14969.
12 daysfeat(rules): load a rule into the builder rowsDanilo M.2-8/+107
Selecting a rule now parses its stored query and rebuilds the builder rows from it, and a row edit compiles back onto the query line and into the working copy. Populating the form was already able to write the rule just loaded over whichever rule is current: m_enabled's toggled runs applyEditsToCurrentRule while m_query still holds the previous rule's text, which emptied the first rule's query on open. The existing m_reloading guard now covers the whole load rather than one signal blocker on the note, which also covers the combo boxes rebuildRows populates.

12 daysdocs,rulequery: state the tag quoting rule rather than the testDanilo M.1-4/+7
The draft compile() quoted every Is/IsNot term, which contradicted the same task's own assertion that a negated tag compiles to . The implementer resolved it in the direction the tests specify, and the resolution is right: notmuch reads tag:inbox and tag:"inbox" identically, counting 5322 either way against the live index, so quoting a tag would change the stored string without changing what it matches. That breaks the byte-for-byte round trip this type exists to guarantee. Restate the comment as the rule rather than as a note about what a test expects, correct the plan's draft so the remaining tasks do not inherit the contradiction, and warn the parser task that a quoted tag must not be read back as a quoting operator.

13 daysfeat(rules): open the tagging rules from the Message menuDanilo M.3-0/+90
Counts are generation-stamped and dropped when stale or when the dialog has closed: counting every rule against a cold index takes seconds, so an in-flight reply outliving its dialog is ordinary rather than rare. The stamp is its own counter, not m_generation as drafted. That one is the QUERY generation, compared against directly by every thread, tree and message load, so bumping it to count rules would discard whatever the user was opening at the time and blank the message pane for an unrelated reason. Registering an action obliges two more entries, both enforced by tests: the name in KeyMap::knownActions(), and a default binding, since every action carries one. Ctrl+Shift+T, shifted against Ctrl+T for edit_tags the way Ctrl+Shift+U is shifted against Ctrl+U. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
13 daysfeat(rules): a dialog to view and edit the tagging rulesDanilo M.3-0/+440
Edits land on a working copy and reach the file only on Save. The dialog never opens a notmuch database of its own: it publishes the queries it wants counted and MainWindow runs them through the worker, because the worker owns the only handle. Two departures from the drafted version, both of which lost edits. QPlainTextEdit has no editingFinished, so the note reached the working copy only for whichever row was current at Save; it is driven from textChanged instead, with the selection handler blocking the signal so loading a rule cannot write itself back over the one now current. And reloadList()'s setCurrentItem emits currentItemChanged, so New and Copy repopulated the form from m_working before the pending edit had been flushed into it.

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.

2026-08-11feat(panes): draw the pane marks from shipped SVGs, not font glyphsDanilo M.13-60/+552
Items 70 and 69, the second folded into the first as item 70's own size note predicted it should be. The panes drew their state marks as font glyphs: U+1F4CE for an attachment and U+2605 for a flagged thread, each with a fallback for a font that cannot render it. Both fell back to "*", so on such a font a flagged thread and one carrying an attachment were indistinguishable, which is a defect the fallback introduced rather than prevented. What a mark looks like was also the desktop's decision rather than this application's, and the panes are exactly where it should not be: the user asked for the toolbar and menus to keep following their icon theme while the panes stop. Six marks now ship in assets/icons/marks/: flagged, attachment, passed, replied and the two expander triangles. QIcon::fromTheme still resolves every toolbar and menu icon and was not touched. Licensing chose the shapes. The look came from a GPL3 icon theme, and this project is GPLv2-only, which are incompatible: GPLv2's "no further restrictions" clause bars shipping GPL3 assets in a v2-only work. The six were drawn fresh in the same idiom instead, with no path data copied. The idiom is generic: solid single-path silhouettes at 16x16 with no strokes. They are compiled in as string literals rather than loaded from a .qrc. src/CMakeLists.txt already records why resources belong to the executable: a qrc in the static library registers itself from a global initialiser the linker drops. The tests link the library, so a resource-based mark would be missing exactly where it needs asserting. assets/icons/marks/ stays the editable source. One asset serves both palettes. Every payload paints with fill="currentColor", which QSvgRenderer renders black rather than resolving, so Marks::pixmap composites the wanted colour with CompositionMode_SourceIn. A mark then takes the card's own pen colour and follows selection and the read/unread dimming without a second variant to keep in step. CardLayout reserves a rect per mark and CardDelegate paints into it. The marks were glyphs inside the subject STRING, so their width came free from the text metrics; as icons the geometry has to know they are there or the subject runs underneath them. The expander pill had the same trap, its triangle being a glyph in expanderLabel(), and now reserves that width explicitly. Item 69's part: passed and replied were words in the tag strip and are marks beside the subject now. The message pane's header carries the flagged and attachment marks next to the subject, per the user's decision that the right pane needs those two and only outside the message area. A duplicate that no test caught is worth recording. Every geometry assertion passed while a card showed passed as BOTH an arrow and a green tag chip: the chip filter had no reason to know a mark had appeared. It was found by rendering real cards to an image and looking at them. isDrawnAsAMark() is now one list consulted by both PillTagsRole and MessageOwnTagsRole, since two copies drifting apart is how a tag ends up drawn twice on one row and not at all on another. Fourteen tests: nine in test_marks, four in test_cardlayout, one in test_threadlistmodel. Mutation-checked at four points, each failing a test: the subject ignoring the marks, the flag not indenting the subject, the pill forgetting the triangle's width, and the recolour composite removed.

2026-08-11feat(sync): sync a tag change automatically after a short delayDanilo M.4-1/+132
Item 71. A tag edit reached the notmuch index at edit time and then sat there until the user clicked Sync or their cron job fired, so "mark all read" updated the view while the change itself waited, sometimes for ten minutes. A confirmed edit now arms a debounce that runs the existing sync path. The delay is auto_sync_delay_ms in [general], defaulting to 2000, and follows mark_read_delay_ms exactly, including that zero and negative are not errors: zero syncs on the next trip through the event loop, and any negative value disables the behaviour, which is the switch for a user who wants only their cron job. It is armed from onTagsApplied, where a write is confirmed and the pending count is already current, rather than where one is sent: a sync scheduled for a write the worker went on to reject would run for nothing. A debounce rather than a schedule, restarted by each edit, because "mark all read" confirms one write per thread in the view and an arm-per-edit timer would be the storm of syncs the debounce exists to prevent. Nothing is armed when no sync command is configured or when the pending count is zero, the case where an edit was netted against its own inverse. When the timer fires with a sync already running, local or cron, it skips rather than queues: mbsync's own answer to a second run is to fail on it, and the edits stay pending rather than being lost. Also fixes a pane blanked out from under the reader, found by hand testing this feature. onSyncFinished called runCurrentQuery() where the cron path calls refreshCurrentQuery(), and a re-run clears the model, the undo stack and the message pane. The stale-thread notice handles a thread that stops matching the query and has since item 35, but a re-run left nothing for it to describe. The two paths had no reason to differ; before this item a local sync only followed a click on Sync, so the difference went unnoticed. Reading a message in the Unread view, having it marked read, and watching the pane go blank two seconds later is what surfaced it. Its test asserts on the undo stack rather than the pane: both paths issue a queued query test_mainwindow has no worker to answer, so the pane ends up blank either way and an assertion on it would pass against both, while the undo stack is cleared by one and kept by the other. Nine tests, four in test_config and five in test_mainwindow, each mutation-checked: removing the schedule call, honouring a negative delay, dropping the nothing-pending guard, dropping the already-running guard, and restoring runCurrentQuery() each fail a test.

2026-08-11feat(placeholder): count sent mail and drafts on the blank paneDanilo M.4-48/+170
Item 67. The pane counted unread, flagged and inbox from three fixed tag: queries. Sent and drafts cannot join that list as tags: tag:draft counts 0 against a real database and no draft-ish tag exists in it at all, so a tag-based line would be a permanent zero that reads as working code. Both are composed from each account's folder keys instead, the same way the Sent view already composes its query. The drafts key was parsed and documented as unused in v1. Composing drafts is still v2; counting them is not, so Account::draftsQuery() and Config::allDraftsQuery() now mirror the sent pair. The shared body moved into folderQuery() and joinAccountQueries(), so the load-bearing quoting (a provider nests both folders under a bracketed parent, and [ and ] are Xapian syntax) and the bare-"or" guard exist once rather than once per folder type. The fixed array is gone rather than extended. It held queries and labels in two lists indexed in parallel, which is a hazard that grows with the list: an entry inserted in one and not the other prints a real number against the wrong name and looks entirely plausible. placeholderLines() carries each query beside the callable that labels it, so the two cannot drift, and the count reply stays paired by position as the worker requires. A line is omitted when no account configures that folder rather than shown as 0, following item 63: a missing folder is a real configuration, and "0 sent" claims the user has sent nothing. Measured against the real config: 4 sent terms over 601 threads, 5 drafts terms over 3, the extra drafts term coming from the one account that configures drafts and no sent, which is what proves the two are collected independently. Four tests here and four in test_config, mutation-checked at three points: dropping the drafts line, an off-by-one in the label pairing, and removing the -1 guard for an uncountable query. Each mutation fails a test.
2026-08-11feat(sent): add a Sent view, flat and by recipientDanilo M.11-9/+355
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.
2026-08-11feat(config): let the date format on a card be configuredDanilo M.8-16/+96
Adds [general] date_format, a QDateTime pattern for the date a thread card shows. Absent or empty means the system locale's short format, which is what every other application on the desktop uses and stays the default. The format reaches the LAYOUT, not only the painter. CardLayout::compute() reserves the date's width from widestDateSample(), so a pattern that arrived only at the drawText call would be elided into a rect sized for the old format, which is the clipping the bold-font fault already produced once. It rides on CardLayout::Input and defaults to an empty string, leaving every existing call site unchanged. Confirmed by mutation: making the width ignore the format fails the test. widestDateSample() memoised its result in a static, which would have sized every format after the first from whichever arrived first. It is a plain call now, costing one QLocale lookup per row, the same as formatting the date. Validation rejects only a pattern whose output is CONSTANT, found by formatting two different instants and comparing. QDateTime::toString() treats nearly every letter as a field, so "banana" formats as "bpmnpmnpm" and "hello" as "22ello": nonsense, but they vary with the instant, and a check claiming to find "no date field" cannot reject them. What harms the user is the pattern that prints the same text on every card, and that is what is refused, with the value named in the message. The model supplies the pattern through DateFormatRole for the same reason it supplies the tag colours: it is the one object here holding config, and a delegate reading config itself would be a second source of truth. Backlog item 62.
2026-08-11feat(ui): give Sync the refresh iconDanilo M.1-1/+1
The Sync button used mail-receive, a mailbox glyph, which reads as "mail" rather than "fetch again". The toolbar follows the desktop's tool button style, so on an icon-only desktop the icon is the whole control and has to carry the meaning by itself. view-refresh is the standard freedesktop name for the action. The existing noTwoActionsShareAnIcon test covers the collision risk that the 0.12.0 Archive/Mark-all-read defect came from, and passes. Also records the backlog reconciliation this came from: items 64 and 65, appended from the user's notes with their causes verified in code. 65 is "full code review and optimization", which names no symptom or measurement and is filed unspecified rather than given a design. Backlog item 64.
2026-08-10feat(view): follow a background sync without a keystrokeDanilo M.6-11/+600
The thread list now updates itself when a sync finishes, whether it is empty or populated. New threads appear where the sort puts them, threads that stopped matching leave, and threads whose state changed repaint. Refreshing used to mean re-running the query, which cleared the model, the selection, the message pane and the undo stack, so 0.8.0 declined to do it on a cron timer and asked the user to press Enter instead. The result was a list that quietly disagreed with the database: mail indexed by cron never appeared, and an Unread view read to the end sat empty in front of it. ThreadListModel::reconcile() diffs a result against the current rows by thread id instead, so a surviving thread keeps its row, its persistent index and its loaded replies. Order comes from the result and is never imposed here, which is what makes the sort dropdown authoritative. The undo constraint this was sized around did not exist: no undo entry was ever keyed on a row. ThreadTagCommand stores thread ids and MessageTagCommand stores message ids, and applyTagChange() looks its target up by id, so an entry already survived its rows leaving the view. A thread read out of the current view now leaves the list, which is correct and would otherwise strand the reader, so MessageView grows a notice saying the open thread no longer matches, with a button that re-queries it. Recovery lists the whole conversation, expands it, and restores the message that was on screen rather than reopening at the first one. Ten defects were found building this, nine of them by hand testing: - SyncMonitor::start() polls synchronously, so an idle lock file emits stateChanged(Idle) from inside buildUi() and the first handler to touch a widget segfaults before the window exists. - QTreeView sets a current index when it takes focus with none set, and current drives loading, so new mail opened itself and was marked read without the user having looked at it. Selection is now required. - The notice outlived what it described, both when the pane was blanked and when another message replaced it. - Retiring the "Background sync completed" message left the bar claiming a sync was still running: silent means saying nothing new, not leaving a stale claim on screen. - A thread root sets both the thread id and the message id, so treating the message id as the message-row case discarded it for the commonest way to open a thread. - A freshly queried root does not know its own first message until the tree loads, so recovery selected nothing and left the pane blank. - A user query mid-recovery had its result hijacked by the pending selection. - MessageView emitted the recovery signal with its own members, so a direct connection handed MainWindow references that runCurrentQuery() then cleared by blanking the pane. The ids went empty mid-slot and no recovery ever ran. Every test passed against this, because reaching a slot through invokeMethod copies its arguments. A Qt signal argument is a reference until something copies it. Emitting a member to a slot that can re-enter the emitter is a use-after-write, and it presents as a wrong value rather than as a crash.
