From 21e99baa6fc945492740480fbdbbcdf1808622c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: itsskofficial Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 12:53:22 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat(tasks): forward or copy an email to your Sentient address to give it a task An email to the user's Sentient address (a plus-address or a label/folder, set in Settings > Tasks) becomes a task when its sender's real address is allowed. The display name never counts, forged or automatic mail is refused, and everything refused is logged. The email is outside content: the plan always waits for approval, every run is marked, and the second look treats the brief written from the email as outside content, so an address only the email has is flagged with where it came from.
