- Add a compose-new-email box to the email view with a recipient field that autocompletes from Gmail contacts (keyboard navigation, match highlighting, avatar chips)
- Build contact indices in core: gmail_sent_contacts syncs the SENT label via the Gmail API for full coverage of people you've emailed, with gmail_contacts as an instant local-snapshot fallback; both are pre-warmed at startup so the first keystroke is instant
- Add generateOneShot() one-shot text generation for the composer's "write with AI", resolving to the active default model/provider
- Add getAccountName() (parsed from a recent SENT message's From header, no extra OAuth scope) so AI drafts sign off with the real name
- New IPC channels: gmail:searchContacts, gmail:getAccountName, llm:generate, llm:getDefaultModel

- Merge ComposeNewBox into ComposeBox via a new 'new' mode, memoizing the component so inbox sync ticks no longer jank the open composer. - Add file attachments: stage files in the renderer (25MB cap), pass raw base64 over IPC, and build a multipart/mixed MIME on send. - Add undo/redo buttons to the compose toolbar. - Single Write/Edit AI bar that generates a draft, then iteratively rewrites it; drop the hardcoded Gemini Flash model and use the default Copilot model. - Suppress inbox reloads while the compose-new modal is open. - Log llm:generate provider/model/output for debugging.
The subject row already has a 'Subject' gutter label, so the input's placeholder repeated the word — an empty field read 'Subject' twice. Drop the placeholder to match the To/Cc/Bcc fields. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
