Make the Daily Brief intent-driven - #209
Conversation
The morning brief printed the full inventory: duplicate tasks, build notices, and promotional mail. The check-in intent only led the prose. This change makes the stated plan the spine of the document. - dailyReportContext returns the tomorrow-plan Work rows with their pending questions (intentWork). - The daily alignment carries that Work into the brief data. The brief can now show a blocked question with an answer_question action. - A check-in older than yesterday no longer shapes the brief. - The document prompt builds one region per stated part of the plan. All other protected work collapses into one capped catch-up region. Promotional mail and repeated automated notices get no region. - Near-identical open tasks and task handoffs merge before compose. - The intent planner reads user memory notes and does not block a personal outing on location or preference questions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The daily brief can ask readers to perform an action that the product does not support, leaving blocked work unresolved or producing a non-functional interaction; merge should wait until the prompt and supported-action contract are aligned.

In `@convex/albatrossWork.ts`:
- Around line 744-748: Update the check-in selection using the find predicate in
albatrossWork to require checkin.status === 'answered' before accepting plan
fields, and add a regression test where a newer non-answered check-in is ignored
in favor of the latest answered plan.
In `@lib/albatross/daily-intent.ts`:
- Around line 299-315: Extend the discarded-handoff merge logic around the
existing item and reference loops to merge handoff.actions into target.actions,
using the contract-defined action identity and maximum count. Preserve existing
actions, append only unique actions from the discarded handoff, and add a
focused test covering distinct actions on both duplicate handoffs.
- Around line 306-313: Update the reference identity key used by knownRefs and
the handoff deduplication in the target-related-reference merge to include the
normalized account alongside kind and id, matching downstream selection
semantics. Preserve the existing eight-reference limit and duplicate handling,
and add a focused test covering references with the same ID across different
accounts.
In `@lib/albatross/daily-report.ts`:
- Around line 157-163: Update isRecentCheckin so yesterday is derived by
subtracting one calendar day from the local date parts in the row’s timezone,
rather than subtracting 24 elapsed hours from now. Preserve matching against
today and the derived previous local-day key, and add a regression test covering
the DST transition in America/New_York.
In `@lib/mail/agent-report.ts`:
- Line 1219: Document the required Mobbin and browser-based Albatross UI
research notes for the Daily Brief changes: in lib/mail/agent-report.ts lines
1219-1219, add notes supporting intent-region and catch-up composition; in
lib/mail/brief-document-prompt.ts lines 92-118, add notes supporting typed
intent-day interactions and density rules. Keep the notes scoped to the research
underlying these UI changes.
In `@lib/mail/brief-document-prompt.ts`:
- Around line 104-118: Update the editorial rule governing protected
data.handoffs so the exactly-once entity requirement applies only when no
tomorrowIntent is present; preserve the intent-day catch-up aggregation rule
that allows additional protected handoffs in a data_table or summary line within
the single capped region. Ensure the symbols tomorrowIntent and data.handoffs
remain the basis for the distinction.
In `@lib/mail/daily-report.ts`:
- Line 5: Update the daily report composition flow around
buildTriageHandoffIndex and selectHandoffsForIntent to pass the index through
mergeDuplicateTaskHandoffs before selecting handoffs, so persisted
DailyReport.handoffs and its narrative contain merged task handoffs. Import the
existing mergeDuplicateTaskHandoffs helper and add a focused integration test
verifying duplicate task handoffs are stored as one merged handoff.

- dailyReportContext only accepts a check-in whose tomorrow prompt was answered. A newer open row cannot displace the plan. - The handoff merge carries actions from a discarded duplicate and keys reference identity on kind, account, and id. - The recency guard derives yesterday from local calendar parts, so a DST transition cannot skip the previous date. - The stored report index merges duplicate task handoffs before persistence, not only in the artifact prompt. - The document prompt states one protected-handoff contract: entities on a normal day, entity-or-aggregation on an intent day. - Regression tests cover each fix.

Test the merge on the composition path. composeReport is exported as a test seam, and a focused test asserts the returned report's stored handoffs contain one merged task handoff.
What this changes
The morning brief printed the full inventory. Duplicate tasks, build notices, and promotional mail all got space. The check-in intent only led the prose. This change makes the stated plan the spine of the brief.
Changes
convex/albatrossWork.ts:dailyReportContextnow returnsintentWork— the Work rows the newest check-in's tomorrow plan created, each with its pending questions.lib/albatross/daily-report.ts: the daily alignment carries that Work into the brief data. A check-in older than yesterday no longer shapes the brief. The recency guard follows the check-in timezone.lib/mail/brief-document-prompt.ts: the composer builds one region per stated part of the plan. A blocked Work question renders in its region with ananswer_questionaction. All other protected work collapses into one capped catch-up region. Promotional mail and repeated automated notices get no region.lib/albatross/daily-intent.ts+lib/mail/daily-report.ts: near-identical open tasks and task handoffs merge before compose, so one outcome renders once.lib/albatross/intent-plan.ts+lib/albatross/tomorrow-split.ts: the planner reads user memory notes, does not block a personal outing on location or preference questions, and does not read a plan with companions as a design request.Why
Prod data from 2026-08-16 shows the failure chain. The check-in captured the plan correctly. The planner stalled all three Work items in
needs_answerswith questions no surface showed. The brief then rendered 50+ items across 8 regions, while the region for the stated plan held zero items.Tests
