What

email joins the configuration contract the other workers already follow, so a compose file is the whole deployment.

  • src/configuration.rs (new, the session-manager shape): the worker registers its entry (email, or III_CONFIG_NAME) with a JSON schema, fetches the authoritative value at boot (fatal when unavailable, like the rest of the family), and hot-reloads on configuration:updated. Limit changes swap the snapshot; account changes respawn the IMAP supervisors and drop pooled sessions. A value that fails validation is rejected and the previous accounts stay live; email::config-status reports last_outcome, last_error, rejected_reloads.
  • Logins in the account config. smtp.username / smtp.password (and the imap.* pair) on the account. auth::get_token stays as the fallback when an account carries no login, for deployments that run a vault; the registry has none today, so without this the worker cannot send anywhere.
  • src/config.rs: Serialize + JsonSchema, deny_unknown_fields, from_yaml / from_file (env-expanded seed), from_json, to_json, json_schema (default as example), validate, boot_signature.
  • --config is now an optional one-time seed for a bare engine; the shipped config.yaml moved to docs/examples/config.yaml per docs/sops/configuration.md §4d. iii.worker.yaml starts the binary with no flag and declares configuration: "0.x".
  • Root iii-permissions.yaml denies email::on-config-change and email::config-status to agents.
  • Version 0.1.7 → 0.2.0 (the start script and the credential source change).

Why

Under iii compose, 0.1.7 ignored the III_CONFIG file the daemon writes and read ./config.yaml from its cwd, so config_override had no effect and the worker booted with the sample accounts. It also took every login from a vault worker that was removed from this repo in #153 and is not on the registry, which left email::send failing with E606 on a fresh install.

Verified

  • cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test (11 unit, 3 smoke), --manifest still lists 8 functions and the email::new-mail trigger type; .github/scripts/tests/test_worker_dependency_compatibility.py passes.
  • Live on engine 0.23.0-rc.6 through a compose project (config_name: email + config_override with two SMTP accounts):
    • boot: loaded configuration from the configuration worker accounts=… entry="email", ready in 223 ms
    • ${HOME} in config_override came back expanded from configuration::get, so ${SECRET} placeholders resolve against the engine's environment and never land in the stored value
    • email::send with configured username/password reached smtp.resend.com (535 on a placeholder key, i.e. past auth resolution)
    • configuration::set with max_recipients: 1 → next email::send with two recipients returned E602 with no restart; email::config-status = applied
    • configuration::set with max_recipients: 0config-status = rejected, last_error: "limits.max_recipients must be at least 1", previous limits still live
  • Not verified live: an IMAP account reload (no IMAP server on the test host); the respawn path is covered by unit tests on apply_config with SMTP-only accounts and mirrors session-manager.

Migration

Existing config.yaml files keep working as a seed (email --config ./config.yaml) and as config_override content unchanged. Deployments that stored logins in a vault keep working through the auth::get_token fallback.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Email accounts, limits, and login credentials can now be managed through centralized configuration.
    • Configuration changes are applied without restarting the worker.
    • Added configuration status reporting for reload outcomes and errors.
    • SMTP and IMAP credentials can be configured per account, with secure fallback retrieval when omitted.
    • Added an example configuration covering SMTP, IMAP, limits, and environment variables.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid or unknown configuration fields are rejected with clear validation errors.
    • IMAP sessions are refreshed automatically when account settings change.
  • Documentation

    • Updated installation, configuration, credential, seeding, and local development guidance.

…e logins from the account config

email 0.1.7 loaded ./config.yaml from its cwd and ignored the III_CONFIG entry the compose daemon writes, so config_override had no effect, and every login came from a vault worker that no longer exists. The worker now registers its schema, fetches the authoritative value at boot, hot-reloads on configuration:updated (limits swap the snapshot, account changes respawn the IMAP supervisors), rejects invalid values while keeping the previous accounts live, and reports email::config-status. Accounts carry smtp/imap username and password, with auth::get_token kept as the fallback when a vault is present. --config becomes an optional seed and the shipped config.yaml moves to docs/examples.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The email worker now uses a validated, hot-reloaded configuration entry. It supports configured SMTP and IMAP credentials, vault fallback, runtime IMAP supervisor updates, configuration status reporting, and new deployment examples.

Changes

Email configuration and runtime integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and credential model
email/src/config.rs
Configuration types now support schemas, strict fields, validation, environment expansion, boot signatures, and optional transport credentials.
Configuration registration and reload lifecycle
email/src/configuration.rs, email/src/main.rs, email/src/lib.rs, email/iii.worker.yaml, iii-permissions.yaml
The worker registers and fetches configuration, reloads it on updates, reports reload status, and manages IMAP supervisors during account changes.
Runtime configuration and credential consumers
email/src/handlers/*, email/src/provider/*
Handlers and IMAP pooling read shared configuration snapshots. Configured credentials take precedence over auth::get_token fallback credentials.
Deployment examples and release metadata
email/README.md, email/docs/examples/config.yaml, email/Cargo.toml
Documentation and examples describe the configuration-worker flow, credential options, local startup path, and new package version. The old email/config.yaml was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 88102

This PR moves SMTP/IMAP credentials into a centrally readable hot-reloaded configuration, permits authenticated SMTP over plaintext when STARTTLS is disabled, and can leave old IMAP sessions active across reloads; it also accepts partial credentials and can reject valid YAML seeds. These issues could expose secrets, use superseded credentials, or prevent deployment, so the PR is not merge-ready until the security and reload/configuration problems are addressed.

- Around line 146-147: Update the inbox.imap examples in email/README.md lines
146-147 and email/docs/examples/config.yaml lines 25-26 to use IMAP-specific
environment variables, `${IMAP_USERNAME}` and `${IMAP_PASSWORD}`, instead of the
SMTP variables.
- Around line 155-160: Prevent WorkerConfig::from_file from expanding credential
placeholders before register_config serializes initial_value; preserve ${NAME}
references through registration and resolve them only at use time, or use the

YAML-significant characters.

In `@email/src/handlers/send.rs`:
- Around line 99-102: Update the SMTP credential handling around
smtp_cfg.credential and the send flow to reject plaintext authentication

In `@email/src/provider/imap/mod.rs`:
- Line 43: Update session acquisition around the cfg snapshot and session-map
access to prevent stale sessions from being inserted after a configuration
reset: associate pool entries with a configuration generation and retry when the
generation changes, or use a shared synchronization boundary that serializes
insertion with pool reset. Ensure later requests cannot reuse sessions created
from an obsolete configuration.

Make environment-expanded YAML values safe in the seed example.

email/src/config.rs::WorkerConfig::from_yaml inserts environment values into raw YAML before serde_yaml::from_str parses it.

Use IMAP-specific environment variables.

The new contract has separate smtp.* and imap.* credentials, but these examples populate imap.username/password from ${SMTP_USERNAME} and ${SMTP_PASSWORD}. A deployment with different transport credentials will copy SMTP credentials into IMAP and fail login with E616.

Use ${IMAP_USERNAME} and ${IMAP_PASSWORD}, or state that shared credentials are intentional.

`${NAME}` placeholders are expanded by the configuration worker against the
engine's environment on every read (under `iii compose` that is the daemon's
environment, which the managed engine inherits), so secrets stay out of the
stored value. The same file shape works as a one-time seed for a bare engine:
`email --config ./config.yaml` installs it as the entry's initial value
([docs/examples/config.yaml](docs/examples/config.yaml)).

Document credential fallback per transport.

fetch_vault_credential checks the relevant {transport}.username/password fields. An account can have SMTP credentials and still use auth::get_token for IMAP. Change the account-level wording to state that fallback applies when the relevant transport has no configured login.

Proposed wording
-When an account carries no login, the worker falls back to `auth::get_token`
+When the relevant transport has no configured username/password, the worker falls back to `auth::get_token`

-| `E607` | Account has no configured login and no credential is stored for it |
+| `E607` | Relevant transport has no configured login and no credential is stored for it |

🌐 Web query:

serde_yaml 0.9 YAML plain scalar colon followed by whitespace double quoted scalar embedded quote parsing behavior

💡 Result:

In serde_yaml 0.9, which utilizes a libyaml-based parser [1], the parsing behavior for YAML scalars follows the official YAML specification regarding the colon character [2]. Plain Scalar Colon Parsing In YAML, a colon (:) is interpreted as a mapping indicator only if it is followed by a whitespace character [3][2]. If a colon appears within a plain scalar but is not followed by whitespace, it is treated as a literal part of the scalar value rather than a structural mapping indicator [2]. This allows for the representation of unquoted strings such as URLs (e.g., http://example.com) [4][2]. Conversely, if a colon is followed by a space, it indicates the start of a value in a key-value mapping [2]. Double Quoted Scalar Parsing Double quoted scalars in YAML support escape sequences (e.g., ", \t, \n) [5]. When a double quote is embedded within a double quoted string, it must be escaped with a backslash (") to be correctly parsed as a literal double quote character [5]. Key Considerations for serde_yaml 0.9 Users of serde_yaml 0.9 may encounter behavioral differences compared to older versions (such as 0.8, which used a different backend) because the current libyaml-based engine may have stricter or different edge-case handling [1]. Specific issues have been documented regarding: Inconsistent Quoting: Users have reported that certain strings (like 'yes', 'no', 'on', or 'off') may be serialized without quotes by serde_yaml 0.9, which can lead to them being interpreted as booleans by other YAML parsers [6]. Flow Node Parsing: Some users have experienced errors (e.g., "did not find expected node content") with complex scalars, such as those containing colons, when they appear inside flow collections (e.g., lists) [7]. To ensure consistent behavior and avoid ambiguity, it is recommended to explicitly quote scalars that contain special characters, such as colons, especially when they might be mistaken for mapping indicators [4][2]. Using explicit quoting is the most reliable way to guarantee that strings are preserved exactly as intended across different YAML processors [8][6].

Preserve YAML syntax when expanding environment values.

WorkerConfig::from_yaml expands ${...} before serde_yaml::from_str. An unquoted credential containing : can make the YAML invalid, and a quoted credential containing " can terminate the YAML scalar and make parsing fail. Valid SMTP or IMAP credentials can therefore prevent a seed configuration from loading. Expand placeholders without allowing environment values to alter YAML syntax, and add regression tests for quoted and unquoted credentials with YAML-significant characters.

Security Misconfiguration (CWE-319): Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Reject plaintext SMTP authentication.

When cfg.starttls is false, builder_dangerous sends configured credentials without TLS. Reject this configuration or require an enforced trusted-network control before sending.

Make pool reset and session acquisition linearizable.

Line 43 clones a configuration snapshot before session-map access. During a structural reload, email/src/configuration.rs replaces the snapshot and clears the pool. An acquisition that already holds the old snapshot can insert its old (account, folder) session after that clear. A later request under the new configuration then reuses the old host or credential session.

Associate pool entries with a configuration generation and retry on a generation change. Alternatively, serialize insertion and reset with one shared synchronization boundary.

PR #979 raised email/Cargo.toml to 0.2.0 by hand. Release Control owns worker versions: it derives the candidate from the registry base and commits the prepare bump itself, and the hand bump made it plan 0.2.1-rc.1 against a 0.1.7 base, which its prepare step rejected. Back to 0.1.7 so the next release intent (minor) yields 0.2.0-rc.1.
