 - **Consequences:** the frontend now requires Node 20 or later through React Router v7. CI/live deployment and navigation smoke remain required before `DONE`.
 - **User approval required:** Yes; the user explicitly requested repair of the reported live deployment audit failure and continuation.
 - **Reversible:** Technically yes by reverting `b55a592`, but that restores known advisories and the failed gate. Prefer a forward compatibility fix if a deployment-only issue appears.

+## DEC-047 — Follow-up drafting stays; direct SMTP delivery is retired
+
+- **Date:** 2026-08-10
+- **Decision:** Preserve grounded follow-up draft generation/edit/copy, replace its direct send control with a link to canonical Job email, and make the legacy send endpoint return 410 without an application SMTP dependency. Keep scheduled reminder notification email unchanged.
+- **Reason/evidence:** the legacy action bypassed provider identity/re-consent, explicit final confirmation, the idempotency ledger and uncertain-delivery handling already implemented in MAIL-001. Drafting itself is safe and useful. Focused worker tests prove the separate scheduled reminder path remains registered and functional with fakes.
+- **Alternatives considered:** route the legacy body directly into `/api/email/send`; retain both send paths; remove drafting/reminders; silently redirect the POST. These either bypass the reviewed confirmation context, preserve conflicting authority, remove unrelated functionality or misrepresent a state-changing API response.
+- **Consequences:** users copy the draft or open Job email and review provider/from/recipient/content before sending. Old API callers receive an explicit terminal response and must migrate; no correspondence/follow-up date is falsely recorded as sent.
+- **User approval required:** No; this is the smallest safe completion of the already active MAIL-001 programme and sends no email.
+- **Reversible:** Yes by reverting `8fe3903`, but that reintroduces the unsafe SMTP bypass. Prefer forward migration of any remaining caller to `/api/email/send` with explicit confirmation.

 - **Known regressions:** None found by automated suites. Jest still needs `--forceExit` and reports its existing open-handle notice. Email-provider/send tests are fake/local only; real delivery is not claimed. Interrupted attempts are aged after 15 minutes and notified without retry; the five-minute scan is unmeasured on a large ledger. Direct clean EF-only SQLite migration still hits the pre-existing historical blank-chain defect before later migrations; normal startup owns reconciliation. Cross-feature monthly AI usage accounting remains a rollout gap.

-- **Exact current task:** MAIL-001 — commit/push the validated retirement of the legacy follow-up SMTP boundary, then continue the next dependency-correct hub increment.
-- **Last completed step:** frontend dependency remediation was committed/pushed as `b55a592`; React Router 7.18.2 plus patched js-yaml/nanoid resolve the deployment audit locally with zero vulnerabilities.
-- **Files currently modified:** MAIL-001 legacy-send controller/UI/tests plus DEP-001 and current tracking documents. Dependency application files are committed.
+- **Exact current task:** MAIL-001 — inventory and add non-sensitive `EmailSendAttempt` coverage to readable account export and complete deletion verification.
+- **Last completed step:** legacy follow-up SMTP retirement was committed/pushed as `8fe3903`; follow-up drafts route to canonical Job email and the old direct-delivery API returns 410 without an SMTP dependency.
+- **Files currently modified:** MAIL-001/DEP-001 verification and tracking documents only; application/dependency changes are committed.
 - **Commands already run:** dependency tree/advisory review; `npm audit`; six focused router suites; full frontend; two production builds; legacy follow-up/backend worker focused tests; full backend; focused legacy UI. See V-126–V-137; legacy evidence is pending V-138.
 - **Test results:** npm audit 0 vulnerabilities; router focused 24/24; frontend 49/49 suites and 190/190 tests; production build passes. MAIL-001 legacy follow-up/backend worker 10/10, focused UI 2/2 and backend 621/621 passed before the dependency upgrade; full frontend/build also pass with both working-tree changes present.
 - **Services currently running:** none started intentionally. Exact task-owned hung Jest/build Node processes were stopped; Codex browser runtimes were not touched. Pre-existing Docker services were not changed.
 - **Temporary files or processes:** none. No provider account, private email, external model, paid service or production service was accessed.
 - **Production changes currently active:** none. No deployment, migration, provider connection/sync/send or production payload occurred.
 - **Rollback status:** revert `ee5ef7e` to stop recovery, then `449faeb` to remove the composer; keep admission disabled before reverting `123fc55`/`e9937ac` and downgrade the ledger before reverting `653f011`. No production migration/deploy/provider grant occurred.

+- **Uncommitted changes:** MAIL-001 legacy-send evidence/tracking only; commit/push before editing export/deletion code.
 - **Known failures:** durable/new-message drafts, export coverage, full thread/category actions and non-Gmail review remain; existing accounts need re-consent and IMAP stays read-only. Browser/provider/MariaDB/production unavailable or unverified; recovery scan performance is unmeasured at large ledger scale; Jest open handles; SEC-006 parser dependency work is still separately gated; parser isolation remains SEC-007. DEP-001 still needs remote CI/live confirmation.

+- **Exact next action:** commit/push V-138 tracking, then trace export DTO/archive and account/job deletion cascades for `EmailSendAttempt`; implement the smallest owner-readable metadata export and regression tests without exporting recipient/subject/body (which are not stored in the ledger).
 - **Work that can continue independently:** remaining MAIL-001 repository work and later UX packages. SEC-006/007 await package-index permission; PROD-001/003/004 await production access.
 - **Decisions still required from the user:** none for synthetic/code-inspected repository work. Any provider connection or send test, internet/package upgrades, private data, external/paid providers and production actions retain explicit approval/safety gates; SEC-009 retention/legal policy remains unresolved.
