Accumulated Context
Decisions
Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table. Recent decisions affecting current work:
- IMAP only (no SMTP): User wants inbox analytics, not sending capabilities
- Admin-only access: Email is privacy-sensitive, limit to trusted admins
- 30-day retention: Balance utility with privacy/storage concerns
- Scheduled sync: Reduces server load vs real-time polling
- No attachment indexing: Complexity vs value, focus on text content first
- ChromaDB for emails: Reuse existing vector store, no new infrastructure
Phase 1 Decisions:
| Decision | Phase-Plan | Date | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| FERNET_KEY as environment variable | 01-01 | 2026-02-08 | Simple key management, fails fast if missing |
| Manual migration creation | 01-01 | 2026-02-08 | Docker port conflict, migration matches Aerich format |
| 30-day expiration in model save() | 01-01 | 2026-02-08 | Business logic in domain model, consistent enforcement |
| Use logout() not close() for IMAP | 01-02 | 2026-02-08 | Proper TCP cleanup, prevents connection leaks |
| Prefer plain text over HTML | 01-02 | 2026-02-08 | Less boilerplate, better for RAG indexing |
| Modern EmailMessage API | 01-02 | 2026-02-08 | Handles encoding automatically, fewer errors |
Pending Todos
None yet.
Blockers/Concerns
Pending (Phase 1):
- Migration application deferred to Phase 2 (Docker environment port conflict)
- Database tables not yet created (aerich upgrade not run)
- Encryption validation pending (no FERNET_KEY set in environment)
