Every branch in the stack was checked out on its own and verified independently: npm install, tsc --noEmit for every package, npm test across the workspace, and the offline e2e where it exists. All nineteen are green — no branch depends on a later one to build or pass. Full viewer e2e (11 suites, 106 assertions) was run on #312 as the behaviour-preservation evidence for the extraction.


Stack position: 16 of 19. Base: lifeboard/14-backup.

The design has said from the start that every outbound message names its recipient and waits for a confirmation. The type existed and nothing used it — sendMail and its approval had no screen. Now the assistant can propose a message and only a person can send it.

The envelope gains send, which is a proposal and never an action. It becomes a pending item in the Inbox showing the recipient and the whole body — not a preview, because approving something you have only seen half of is not approving it.

Every failure says what is missing. No permission to send email names the setting to change and leaves the draft unsent. No bridge for a text opens the phone's own composer with the message already written — not a failure, but the phone doing what it is best at.

Sending email is a separate, sensitive scope, off unless ticked, and the Google section says what it means rather than bundling it with reading.

Verified: lifeboard 399 (+10), including that a discard sends nothing and a missing permission leaves the draft pending.

The design has said from the start that every outbound message names its
recipient and waits for a confirmation. The type existed and nothing used it:
sendMail and its approval had no screen. Now the assistant can propose a message
and only a person can send it.

The envelope gains `send`, which is a PROPOSAL and never an action. It becomes a
pending item in the inbox showing the recipient and the whole body -- not a
preview, because approving something you have only seen half of is not
approving it. The approval object names the exact draft, so it cannot be reused
for a different message; that was already a type error, and now there is a path
that produces one honestly.

Every failure says what is missing. No permission to send email names the
setting to change and leaves the draft unsent. No bridge for a text opens the
phone's own composer with the message already written, which is not a failure --
it is the phone doing what it is best at.

Sending email is a separate, sensitive scope and it is off unless ticked. The
Google section says what it means rather than bundling it with reading.
