architecture.md - § Log tailer: the fingerprint carries the inode; a log rotated while the panel was down is read from mail.log.1 to its end, or the gap is logged; a refusal's line (the queue id of a From: refusal, the NOQUEUE line put on a MAIL FROM refusal's row) and the refusal written from mail.log when the panel had not. - § Sender check, what it costs: supervisord asked for half a minute, then the estimate and ≈; connections and messages in two columns; the count's saved place in the log. guide.md - § Outbound log: a refused message's page shows Postfix's line(s); rows from before, and a row written from mail.log, say so. - § Overview and Health: the two columns and ≈. schema-migrations row 9 was written with the migration. Audit plan line ticked: stage 2b's lines are all done. Roadmap 30/62. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
