Email becomes a DeliveryChannel driven by rules, and the Team pipeline stops being
its own thing. `teamNotify.forumPost` now emits an event; a rule decides who is
mailed, through which template, and how often at most. One walk goes forum write
-> events.emit -> rule -> outbox -> worker -> email channel -> template -> SMTP.

Seven decisions settled by the org lead before any code:

  - email only moves; the push tickle and the Discord bridge stay direct calls
  - the EVENT carries its access-checked audience, and `members` resolves to it
  - the four Team rules are seeded DISABLED, with an admin banner and a note
  - team_notification_prefs stays, read by the engine as a scoped preference
  - the payload wins and a structural projection fills the gaps
  - the digest keeps computing at send time; only its state generalizes
  - an unsubscribe token turns off the channel it names, and nothing else

Three defects found while building it:

  - `email.button` never absolutized its href, while image and itemList both
    did. Every rule-driven CTA would have been a dead relative link, because a
    trigger's url variables are validated site-relative by construction.
  - Phase 4a enqueued digest-mode recipients for a drain that Phase 6 decided
    not to build. An outbox row snapshots the payload and so has none of the
    three properties the digest design exists for, including the security one.
  - the digest's send-log row carried no address_hash while the instant row
    beside it did, which would have made half the mail uncorrelatable in Phase 9.

Also: engagement_digest_state + a replay-safe backfill, engagement_outbox.scope_key,
a v2 unsubscribe token that still verifies v1 forever, and the canonical
/public/engagement/unsubscribe pair with the old /public/teams path kept
permanently — mail is not editable once sent.

Verified with 1464 server tests, 324 client tests, and a live rig (MariaDB +
Mailpit + a real Team) covering the instant mail, the digest, the generic
template, a pre-migration unsubscribe link and the backfill's replay-safety.

2079aaf667 feat(engagement): the rules engine, cooldowns and outbox (engagement Phase 4a)

Phase 4 of docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md, split 4a/4b at the org lead's direction.
This is 4a: the engine, server only, with no HTTP surface at all. A fired trigger
now produces outbox rows and send-log entries; Admin - Engagement - Rules and the
segment composition UI are 4b.

Five tables (rules, audience segments, cooldowns, outbox, sends), the sweep
worker, audience resolution, condition evaluation, the grace window and its
cancellation, and the save-path validation 4b's form will call. engagementEmit's
Phase 2 log line becomes the engine call.

Two settled questions this phase was blocked on:

  Q2 (multi-instance) - neither SKIP LOCKED nor documented single-instance: the
  outbox claims each row with a compare-and-set into the 'sending' state the ENUM
  already carried. It makes the outbox safe for two instances, not the deployment.

  Q4 (admin surface) - its own top-level nav group, built in 4b.

Two defects in the plan's own section 4, both found by building it:

  The global UNIQUE(dedupe_key) was data loss. A dedupe key names the EVENT, and
  one event is one row per (rule, user, channel) - so a fifty-person audience
  would have had one row admitted and forty-nine silently ignored. Scoped.

  Section 4.1's single INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE cooldown claim always
  passes against this codebase's pool: the mariadb connector defaults
  foundRows:true, so a no-op update reports affectedRows 1 rather than 0. It is
  two statements now, with the interval guard in a WHERE clause.

The second defect is why there is a second test file. The stubbed suite was green
against the broken claim, because a stub can only agree with whoever wrote it;
engagementEngineSql.test.js runs the raw statements against a real MariaDB and
skips when there is none.

Verification: 43 new tests green in engagementEngine.test.js, 12 more against
MariaDB 11.8, and the whole path exercised end to end against a live database -
per-subject cooldowns, conditions, the CAS claim, the send log's honest failure
detail, and dormancy on uninstall. The three pre-existing Windows-only CRLF
failures in the generated-artifact tests are unchanged from clean edge.

563199a096 feat(modules): event triggers, audiences and the ceiling lattice (engagement Phase 2)

The contract half of the engagement system: a module (and core) can DECLARE an
event with a payload contract and fire it. Nothing delivers yet — `emit`
validates, logs and stops, and Phase 4 replaces that log line with the engine.

`api.registerEventTriggers` and `api.registerAudiences` ride the existing
stage()/apply() validate-then-commit discipline, so a registrant that throws
halfway leaves nothing behind. `ctx.events.emit` is fire-and-forget and binds
the owner from the calling module — a module fires its own triggers and no one
else's. `ctx.inbox.push` is present and throws until Phase 7, the shape 1.6.0
settled on for a member that arrives a phase late.

MODULE_API_VERSION 1.7.0 on both halves. Additions only; module-uo's
`coreApi: "^1.3.0"` still resolves.

Three design decisions, approved by the org lead before any code:

ONE NAMESPACE for trigger ids and notification-stream ids (ENGAGEMENT.md §7.2,
against the recommendation in the text). A trigger is a payload contract
attached to an id that may also carry a subscription toggle, so an id has
exactly one owner across both facets, checked in both directions. Core's five
trigger ids ARE its five stream ids, so the same-owner upgrade case is
exercised on every boot rather than only by a module. It keeps
notification_channel_prefs single-keyed in Phase 3, where two namespaces would
have forced a `kind` discriminator into its primary key.

Two knock-on effects appeared only once it was implemented. The id grammar had
to be RELAXED to admit `_` inside a segment — §4.3's own worked example is
`uo.house.idoc_warning`, and two grammars over one namespace would mean an id
legal as a trigger and illegal as the stream it is the same event as. And the
seven grandfathered `uo.*` ids had to share their legacy allowlist with
triggers, because under one namespace `idoc.warning` is a single id. The push
catalog is untouched either way: allStreams() still serves the stream facet
only, so the shipped Android client sees exactly what it saw before.

THE CEILING LATTICE (G24), which the plan named everywhere and defined nowhere.
It is containment, not size: everyone ⊃ authenticated ⊃ {subscribers, members,
staff, owner}, with the four leaves mutually incomparable. The flat total order
the plan's wording invites would let a `staff`-ceilinged trigger be given an
`owner` audience — a rule that mails cheat detection to the player it detected.
Fewer people is not less exposure. Two incomparable ceilings have no meet at
all, so a composition is refused rather than guessed; union-widens is the
intuitive implementation and it is the wrong one.

`kind: 'event' | 'scheduled'` is declarable now and no evaluator exists (§7.1
Q6). Registration accepts `scheduled` and emit refuses to fire one, so `kind`
means something from the moment it can be written rather than from the moment
it is honoured.

Also: `GET /admin/engagement/{triggers,audiences}`, served from the registries
rather than a table so an uninstalled module simply stops appearing;
`npm run engagement:manifest` plus its CI `--check`, the twin of the route
manifest, because renaming a variable breaks stored templates silently, at send
time, in mail someone already received.
