TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index). Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's; otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented. date_source records which. Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.

**`email_accounts/` is created by the PLATFORM for every account, and should be the plugin's job.**
|
|
`USER_DIRS` in `data-path.ts` pre-creates it at 0700 for every user, whether or not the email plugin
|
|
is installed — so a core install provisions a directory named for a plugin it does not have.
|
|
|
|
Ownership should invert: the plugin provisions its own storage, in all three moments —
|
|
|
|
1. **on plugin install**, for accounts that already exist;
|
|
2. **on user provisioning**, for accounts created afterwards;
|
|
3. **lazily**, the first time a provisioned user opens the plugin, so a machine that missed either of
|
|
the above still heals itself.
|
|
|
|
The third is the one that makes the other two non-critical, and it belongs in the email sidecar
|
|
rather than in the platform's account handler.
|
|
|
|
This is entangled with the `email_db` leak below — core reads that directory today, so the plugin
|
|
cannot become its sole owner until that is resolved too. Do them together.
