Gmail now connects. Authorisation-code flow with PKCE, the verifier kept
server-side rather than in a cookie — the callback is a top-level
navigation from Google, and a SameSite=Lax cookie is the kind of thing
that works until a browser tightens its defaults. State is checked, the
attempt expires after ten minutes, and the spent verifier is deleted
rather than left at rest.
Scope is gmail.readonly and the sync is one-way on purpose. Unstarring a
message does not delete the task; completing the task does not touch the
mailbox. Two-way would mean deciding what happens when both sides
changed, and the only honest answer is a sync model far larger than the
feature. The query carries newer_than:30d so connecting an account with
a decade of starred mail does not create a decade of tasks.
The update check is off unless the operator turns it on, asks GitHub at
most every six hours, and sends nothing about the instance — no
identifier, no version, no counts. A development build never reports an
update: somebody running their own tree is ahead of every release, and
telling them otherwise trains them to ignore the notice. Only
administrators see it, because only they can act on it.

Completes the MVP surface: project and section CRUD, task CRUD with
sub-trees, drag-and-drop ordering, the quick-add endpoint over the
natural-language parser, Today and Upcoming, search, sharing with roles,
an activity log and a WebSocket for live updates.
Permission checks are route middleware rather than a first line in each
handler, so an endpoint is guarded by where it sits instead of by the
author remembering. Anything the caller may not see answers 404, never
403 — a 403 confirms the thing exists. Visibility is enforced inside the
list query, so another user's project cannot be reached by filtering or
searching at it.
Ordering is a float, so a drop writes one row instead of renumbering the
list. When repeated drops into one gap exhaust the precision, the
section is spread out again and the move retried — in a separate
transaction, since the attempt that discovered the problem rolls back.
The connection pool is not 1: a single connection makes the pool a lock,
and a query run while an earlier result set is still open then waits for
a connection it is itself holding. The store now closes its rows before
querying again, and the pool leaves that mistake slow rather than fatal.

Sessions are stored as hashes, so a database dump contains nothing that
can be pasted into a browser. A login that has passed the password but
not the second factor is modelled as a pending session: it expires, is
revocable, and reaches exactly one endpoint.
Signup is invite-only and takes the email address from the invite rather
than the form, so a link cannot be redirected to somebody else. The
first admin is created by an endpoint that refuses once any account
exists, checked and inserted in one transaction because it is
necessarily unauthenticated.
Login failures and forgotten-password requests answer identically
whether or not the address has an account — otherwise the form is an
account-existence oracle. Password rules are a length floor and nothing
else: composition rules push people towards worse passwords.
