+## The shape of all of it
+
+**The model proposes; you decide.** Nothing is written until you say yes, and the
+proposal is a line in the same syntax you type yourself — `Ring til Anders i morgen
+p1 #Firma` — sitting in a field you can edit before you accept it.
+
+That is not caution for its own sake. A model that edits your tasks directly has to
+be right *every* time to be worth having. One that suggests only has to be right
+often enough to save you some typing, and when it is wrong you have already seen it.
+
+It is also why the suggestion is a line rather than a set of fields: there is one
+reading of "i morgen" in this program, and a suggestion goes through the same
+[quick add](quick-add.md) parser as anything you type — including after you have
+edited it by hand.
+
+The model is given the names of the projects that exist and may name no others. A
+`#Projekt` it invented would create one by accident the first time you accepted it,
+and a guess must not be able to move a task somewhere you will not look for it.
+
 ## What it can do
 
-**Split a task into sub-tasks.** On any task: *Split with AI*. It suggests two to
-seven concrete actions and creates them as sub-tasks. Written in your language.
+**Tidy up the inbox.** In the Inbox, the menu → *Ryd op i indbakken*. For each loose
+line it suggests how you would have written it if you had finished it — project,
+date, priority — with one sentence on what it read out of the task. Accept, edit, or
+skip, one line at a time.
+
+**Find the tasks in a note.** Open a note → *Find opgaver i noten*. Only what
+somebody committed to or was asked to do; a heading is not a task and a topic that
+was discussed is not a task. Each suggestion quotes the words it came from, so a
+wrong one can be seen through rather than merely being wrong. The note itself is
+never edited — the task carries `[[the note's title]]` in its description instead.
+
+**Today's plan, in the morning.** **Settings → Beskeder → Dagens plan**, off by
+default; pick the hour yourself. One notification about what is due today and what
+has been missed, and what to start with. The counts are done in the database and
+handed to the model as facts it may not recompute — a plan that says four tasks
+where there are three is worse than no plan. With no model configured the counts
+stand on their own, which is what you needed to know at seven in the morning anyway.
+Nothing due and nothing overdue sends nothing.
+
+**Mail that becomes a task you can act on.** Where a
+[mailbox](mailboxes.md) used to produce *"Anders Jensen: SV: SV: Vedr. levering uge
+12"*, the model writes the action the mail asks for — and leaves the mail alone if
+it asks for nothing. The subject stays in the description, so a mail it misread can
+still be read. If the model is unavailable the task is named sender and subject as
+before: a model that is down must not be able to stop the post.
+
+**Ask your own notes and tasks.** ⌘K, type the question, ⌘⏎. *"Hvad lovede jeg
+Anders i august?"* — search finds what contains the words, this answers the
+question, and the answer links to the notes and tasks it rests on. If nothing
+matches, it says so; a guess would be useless here, because you are asking precisely
+because you cannot remember.
+
+**Split a task into sub-tasks.** On any task: *Split with AI*. Two to seven concrete
+actions, created as sub-tasks.
 
 **A weekly summary.** A short note over what is outstanding: what looks urgent and
-what appears to be slipping. At most six lines — it is a prompt to think, not a
-report.

+  "version": "v0.44.1"
+}
+```
+
+That is the whole message. No IP is stored by the collector, no hostname, no
+domain, no account, no counts of anything you have made, nothing about what you
+use it for. The payload is small enough to be printed in full on the settings page,
+and it is printed there — a promise about telemetry is worth exactly as much as
+your ability to check it.
+
+## On by default, off in one click
+
+The alternative that was considered first was compulsory, and the argument against
+it is practical rather than principled: it cannot be enforced. The domain can be
+blocked, the binary can be patched, and a fork removes it in its first commit. So
+mandatory buys nothing over on-by-default while costing the trust the rest of this
+program works for.
+
+Which is why the first administrator to sign in is **told, unprompted**, with the
+real id, the real version and the real address in front of them, and two buttons.
+On by default is only defensible if it is said out loud without being asked; a
+settings page where it is stated fully is not the same thing, because that page is
+opened by people who already suspect there is something to read.
+
+**Settings → Data** afterwards: one switch. An explicit "off" survives upgrades.
+
+!!! note "This disagrees with the update check, on purpose"
+
+    `VERDANDE_UPDATE_CHECK` is off unless you ask for it, and its reasoning is that
+    a self-hosted app reaching out unbidden has broken the deal its operator made by
+    self-hosting. That is the same situation as this one, and the two defaults do
+    not agree. The case for treating them differently: the update check reveals an
+    instance to a third party (GitHub) and returns something you can act on, while
+    this returns nothing and goes to the project. Whether that is a distinction or
+    an excuse is a judgement call, and it was made deliberately.
+
+## What the collector cannot see, and what it can
+
+A request has a source address whether or not anybody writes it down. The collector
+stores none and logs none, and the code is arranged so the address never reaches a
+function that could — the table has nowhere to put one. But the request passes
+through a reverse proxy and a tunnel on the way, and those keep their own logs.
+"We send no IP" would be a half-truth; what is true is that nothing here records
+one.
+
+The ping is not authenticated either, so anybody can post a made-up id and inflate
+the count. That is an accepted trade: a token would have to ship inside every
+install anyway.
+
+## Running your own count
+
+Somebody running a fleet points **Settings → Data → Modtagerens adresse** at their
+own instance, and ticks **Denne instans er tælleren** there. Until that is ticked,
+`POST /api/v1/beacon` answers **404** rather than accepting quietly — an instance
+nobody made a collector must not become a bucket anyone can post into.
+
+The collector's page then shows totals, active in 7 and 30 days, and a breakdown by
+version. Publishing that number at `/api/v1/beacon/count` is a second, separate
+opt-in, and it has a floor under it (25 by default): a number that *falls* cannot be
+published as a fact — a bad release, a DNS change that quietly stops the pings, or
+lost rows all look like "fewer people use this now" — and a small number mostly says
+how little it takes to move it.
+
+## When it cannot reach
+
+The reason is written down and shown on the settings page. A beacon that cannot
+reach its collector otherwise fails in complete silence: it tries again tomorrow,
+the page says "last sent" with a date that quietly gets older, and nobody notices.

+# Opening links
+
+A link in a task or a note opens in whichever browser your system opens links in.
+**Settings → Links** can try to change that — and the honest description of what it
+does is *try*.
+
+## What a web page cannot do
+
+Two things, and they set the limits of this feature:
+
+- **It cannot see which browsers are installed.** The list is deliberately closed:
+  it would be a fingerprint, distinctive enough to follow somebody from site to
+  site.
+- **It cannot ask the system to use a particular one.** A link goes to the default
+  browser, and there is no API that says otherwise.
+
+The only handle that exists is the URL schemes browsers register for themselves —
+`firefox://open-url?url=…`, `googlechrome://…`, `microsoft-edge:…` — and there is no
+way to ask whether one exists. You can only try it.
+
+## So the setting is an attempt
+
+Pick Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge, or write your own scheme. When you click a
+link, that scheme is tried first; if nothing has happened within about half a
+second, the link opens the ordinary way.
+
+The fallback is the whole reason this is safe to turn on. Without it, a setting
+that works on your phone would leave links doing nothing on your desktop.
+
+In practice: **it works on a phone**, where browsers register these schemes, and
+**rarely on a Mac or a PC**, where Chrome and Firefox do not. Edge on Windows is
+the usual exception. There is a **Prøv det** button for exactly this reason — you
+cannot ask whether a scheme exists, so it is better to find out on example.dk than
+on a link you meant to follow.
+
+## Writing your own
+
+Three placeholders, because browsers disagree about the shape they want the address
+in:
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `{url}` | The address as it is — `x-safari-https://example.dk` |
+| `{encoded}` | The address as a parameter value — `firefox://open-url?url=https%3A%2F%2F…` |
+| `{stripped}` | The address without the `https://` — `googlechrome://example.dk` |
+
+## It belongs to the machine, not the account
+
+The choice is kept in the browser you are sitting at, not on your account — the
+same rule the sidebar's width follows. `firefox://` works on the phone and does
+nothing on the Mac, so a choice that followed the account would be wrong in one of
+the two places every time.

 !!! tip "Keep the address to yourself"
     Treat it like a secret. If you publish it somewhere, rotate it.
+
+## Pushing from another program
+
+The address above needs a mail server. When what you want is a shortcut on your
+phone, a script, or any service that can call a URL, there is a second way in:
+**Settings → Integrationer → Skub fra andre programmer** gives you an address to
+POST a line of text to.
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://todo.example.dk/inbound/hook/<token> \
+  -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+  -d "Ring til Anders i morgen p1 #Firma"
+```
+
+The body is read three ways, because those are the three you meet: plain text from
+a shortcut that just sends what was selected, JSON with a `text` field from a
+service, or a form field from a webhook form. The first line becomes the task and
+the rest sits underneath it, and the line goes through the [quick add](quick-add.md)
+parser — so "i morgen", "p1" and "#Firma" mean here what they mean in the box at the
+top of the app.
+
+**The address is a key.** It has its own token rather than sharing the mail one:
+the two are the same kind of secret but they leak separately, and a URL that has
+been sitting in a shortcut on a lost phone has to be replaceable without changing
+the address other people have in their address books. A token here can do one
+thing — put a task in your inbox — which is why it is not an
+[API token](api.md), which can do everything. Change it under the same setting; the
+old one stops working at once.
+
+**POST only.** A GET would be easier to call, and that is exactly the problem: a
+browser prefetch, a link check in a chat, and a revisited history entry would all
+create tasks nobody asked for.

+
+Filing a note in a project is the right tool when the note belongs with a body of

+looked up.
+
+### Naming somebody in a note
+

+# Notifications
+
+What other people did that you need to know about, and what the day has in it.
+Verdande tells you in three places at once, and they are the same thing said three
+ways: the **bell** in the header, a **push** to your devices, and the **badge** on
+the app's icon.
+
+## What causes one
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| Somebody edited a note shared with you | Repeat edits fold into one line while it is unread |
+| Somebody shared a note with you | Once, when it happens |
+| Somebody named you in a note with `@` | Instead of "edited a note" — one act, one message |
+| Somebody gave you a task | Only on the change, and only to the person who got it |
+| Somebody commented | |
+| [Today's plan](ai.md), if you turned it on | In the morning, at the hour you chose |
+| A new version is out | Administrators only, once per version |
+
+Not your own actions: the server does not tell anybody what they just did
+themselves. And not everything that happens — a bell that rings at every change in
+a shared project is a bell people stop looking at.
+
+**Repeat edits are folded.** A note is saved on every typing pause, so one person
+writing for five minutes would otherwise be twenty identical lines. While the
+message is unread, a further edit moves it back to the top and says who touched it
+last. Once you have read it, the next edit is a new thing to be told.
+
+## Push, and the badge
+
+**Settings → Beskeder** turns on Web Push for the device you are sitting at, per
+device: the phone in your pocket and the laptop you have open are different
+answers, and a permission granted on one is not the other's.
+
+The **badge** — the number on the icon in the Dock on a Mac, on the taskbar on a
+PC — needs the app to be installed (added to the Dock, or installed as an app in
+Chrome or Edge). Half the point of being told is being told while you are doing
+something else, and the icon is the only place the app can say anything then. It
+counts unread messages and goes down by itself as you read them. Firefox does not
+support it; nothing else changes there.
+
+The sentence you see is written in your browser from *what happened* and *who did
+it*, so an English interface gets an English bell. The server's own wording is
+Danish and is used only for push, which has no dictionary to look a phrase up in.
+
+## Telling you about a new version
+
+If the [update check](configuration.md) is on, administrators get one notification
+per version — never one a day about the same one — and it leads to
