Every thread, one verdict.

   The email door learned to send files: up to ten, 25 MB in all. Each sent file is saved into Bob’s record only after Gmail accepts the message, because the poll skips anything over 8 MB and would never bring it back.

   The poll can now be told to fetch named older messages by their Gmail id, to link attachments that had arrived without their message. Some came back; the rest were deleted from Gmail or refused by Cloudflare’s resource limit, and the cause of the refusals is still open.

   The lane got a file of threads he has ruled need nothing from him, and the bench now shows those as ruled instead of waiting.

   A ruling now takes an attachment out of the reading queue for good. The skill also names a fix still owed: one message cannot yet hold a separate reading for each of its attachments.

   The skill now describes the two reading passes, and the bench shows how many files are waiting for human eyes. The free pass had existed for a week without ever being scheduled, so nothing had been read in that time.

   Two flaws found by reading what the overnight poll would do: it only looked at the newest page of mail, and it spent its work on messages it already held. It now walks every page and says so when it stops early.

   The email lane came home. When its old host was deleted the poll died with it, and nothing raised an alarm for 28 hours. The Worker now polls every five minutes, saves attachments, sends, and can be probed.

   A note was corrected: the Cloudflare account was measured on the free plan, not the paid one an earlier note had assumed from an accepted deploy.

Read from the commits that touch the email-lane skill folder in his private plugin repo and the email Worker folder in his private bob repo, through the GitHub API on 28 Oct 2026. They run from 3 Sep to 8 Oct 2026. Dates are Israel time. Every change in that history is shown except 5, left out to keep other people’s names, clients and money off this page, judged on the full commit message. Some entries are left out (5), because they touched things that are not for this page.

Starts when

The poll starts itself every five minutes on a timer in Cloudflare, with no caller. The skill’s own check starts when he asks about mail: its bench runs as the skill loads.

Checks

Each run asks Gmail for the last two days, one page at a time, and skips what Bob already holds. It captures at most 20 new messages a run and says so when it stops early; the next run carries on. The bench then checks that the send door answers, when the poll last beat, and what each recent thread needs.

Produces

The raw message saved by its hash, a row for it in Bob’s record, and a row for each attachment up to 8 MB. The bench gives each thread of the last three days one verdict, with unread attachments first.

Sends

Only the email sender script, to a send door with its own secret, kept apart from the WhatsApp one. The answer says capture is pending: the proof is Gmail’s echo, picked up by a later poll. A reply is never resent to force a capture.

If it breaks

A failed message or attachment makes that run’s beat say not ok and is never counted as a success. A stalled poll loses the record of what he sent, as well as what arrived. The bench prints DOWN rather than nothing, and reads lateness from the lane’s own declared contract instead of inventing one.

Limits

Files over 8 MB are deferred, not fetched. Attachment counts reach only the files that can be tied back to their message, so a blank verdict is not proof that nothing is attached.

Tested

The Worker has three self-checks: header encoding, the message builder read back by Python’s mail parser, and the whole send-with-files handler against stand-ins for the database, storage and Google. The door hook has its own self-test for that route. No test for the bench itself was found.

Code

A skill in his private plugin and a Worker in his private bob repo. Neither is published, so the commit hashes above are for him to check.
