Fix medium-severity spec drift across 17 specs
- authentication-methods: document completeAuth mode param ("redirect"|"json");
  clarify add-passkey nudge (no dismiss mechanism, disappears on passkey add)
- journal-auth: session maxAge is 30 days; terms allow-list uses /legal/ prefix
  matching (broader than fixed list of paths)
- session-notes: mark awareness isolation and UndoManager isolation as not yet
  implemented (shared instances in current code)
- activity-feed: add fan-out scenario for visibility change to public
- explore: note that ?perPage is not yet implemented (hardcoded page size)
- multi-day-routes: add per-day GPX track split scenario (splitByDays option);
  document overnight vs isDayBreak naming gap
- osm-poi-overlays: debounce is 800ms + 2000ms min interval (not 500ms);
  retry is not automatic (fires on next viewport change)
- brouter-integration: rate limit corrected to 300/hour; add segment-cache
  requirement (client caches per-pair segments)
- wahoo-route-push: OAuth state shape uses camelCase (returnTo, pushAfter
  object) not snake_case with push_after boolean
- komoot-import: document noop adapter / ConnectedServiceManager bypass;
  note four Komoot-specific routes that bypass the generic OAuth framework
- background-jobs: exponential backoff not wired (retryLimit only); add SIGINT
- connected-services: add revoked status; name ConnectionNotActiveError
- infrastructure: add INTEGRATION_SECRET and SENTRY_DSN to env var lists;
  split secret decryption scenario by workflow (cd-apps vs cd-infra)
- secret-management: correct CD decryption — cd-apps only decrypts app.env;
  cd-infra decrypts both
- transactional-emails: welcome email is async (pg-boss job); magic-link email
  includes 6-digit numeric code
- journal-route-detail: websites are https: links (not mailto:); opening_hours
  is also displayed
- local-dev-environment: add mobile app (Expo) dev commands

Purpose

Transactional email sending with HTML and plain-text templates for magic links and welcome messages, using SMTP in production and console logging in dev.

Requirements

Requirement: Email sending interface

The system SHALL provide a provider-agnostic email sending function that supports HTML and plain-text content.

Scenario: Send email in production

  • WHEN the system sends a transactional email in production
  • THEN the email is delivered via Nodemailer with SMTP (configured via SMTP_URL connection string and SMTP_FROM env var) to the recipient

Scenario: Dev mode skips sending

  • WHEN the system sends a transactional email in development
  • THEN the email content is logged to console and no external API is called

The system SHALL send an email containing the magic link when a user requests passwordless login.

  • WHEN a user requests a magic link login
  • THEN an email is sent with a clickable link that logs them in

Scenario: Email content

  • WHEN a magic link email is sent
  • THEN it includes: the clickable link, a prominently displayed 6-digit numeric code (for users who prefer copy-paste over clicking), expiry time (15 minutes), and a plain-text fallback

Requirement: Welcome email

The system SHALL send a welcome email after successful registration. The welcome email is sent asynchronously via a pg-boss send-welcome-email job rather than inline during the registration request.

Scenario: Welcome on registration

  • WHEN a user completes registration (passkey or magic-link)
  • THEN a send-welcome-email job is enqueued and the email is delivered asynchronously to their registered email address

Requirement: Email templates

Each email type SHALL have an HTML template with a plain-text fallback.

Scenario: Extensible template pattern

  • WHEN a new email type is needed in the future
  • THEN it can be added by creating a template function and calling sendEmail

Requirement: Privacy disclosure

Email sending SHALL be documented in the privacy manifest.

Scenario: Privacy manifest updated

  • WHEN transactional emails are enabled
  • THEN the /privacy page documents: what emails are sent, that email addresses are shared with the email provider, and which provider is used
