HO6: an agent answers the mail sent to its own address (#343)

OP OpenVibers committed 5 days ago · 360ac0fa4d · 17 files, +1110 −12

* WIP HO6: an agent answers the mail sent to its own address (in progress, handed over)

* HO6: an agent answers the mail sent to its own address

Mail publishes mail.agent_inbox.received for an inbox whose answering switch
the person turned on. Actor takes it, runs that agent for its owner with the
letter as INPUT DATA under a note that it is a stranger's words, and answers:
to one of the owner's own openvibe.email addresses directly (Mail delivers
those locally), to anyone else as an HO1 send approval. Approving such a reply
while Mail cannot send outside OpenVibe leaves the request pending and says
so; nothing is sent and the draft stays.

The tests hold the event shape, the injected-instruction case, the own-address
and stranger paths, the switch, one run per letter and the hourly windows.

* HO6: the mail contracts, and the account and egress guards

Pin openvibe-contracts v0.342.0, which carries the mail contracts and the
skills ones. The three mail tables are the person's data: export them with the
account and erase them with it, and record the loopback Mail client as a
reviewed outbound site.

++-- phase: expand
++-- HO6 (channels): an agent answers the mail sent to its own address.
++--
++-- Mail publishes mail.agent_inbox.received for an inbox whose answering switch the person turned on. Actor takes it,
++-- runs that agent for its owner with the mail as INPUT DATA, and answers:
++--
++-- * to the owner's own openvibe.email addresses, directly (Mail delivers those locally);
++-- * to anyone else, as an HO1 approval of kind "send" that stays pending until the person decides (and, until Mail
++-- may send outside OpenVibe, stays pending with the plain sentence saying the reply waits).
++--
++-- Three tables, each one thing:
++--
++-- actor_mail_threads ONE thread per mail conversation, keyed by the Message-ID chain's root, so a back-and-forth
++-- stays one Actor thread with its memory (the run continues from the previous task).
++-- actor_mail_inboxes the person's switch and counters, keyed by the inbox id Mail gave: whether Actor answers at
++-- all for that address, and the two hourly windows the brief puts on it.
++-- actor_mail_runs one row per letter Actor took, so a redelivery makes no second run (the message id is the
++-- key) and the agent's page can list the last ten it answered with their thread.
++--
++-- Expand only: new tables, nothing renamed or dropped; an earlier release reads none of them.
