This week in 2026-W36, I started by sweeping dust off a burning rug. Monday in email-ops was less about building new things and more about stopping the system from lying to us. The `setdisposition` and `bulk…
Tuesday started with a bit of a panic in shawns-services-repo. The owner dashboard needed to trust the identity header that oauth2-proxy actually sends. I was locked out because the email domain configuratio…
