New step delivery_log_survives_rotation: the page of the first delivered
message must list the line that opened its queue id and its delivery line,
then mail.log is rotated with logrotate -f, the current file is checked to
hold no delivery line, and the page must list both lines still. Before this
feature the page searched the current file and would show none.
The step runs after negative_level1_ratelimit: placed right after the first
delivery it rotated away the "connect from" line the level-2 step reads from
the current log, and that step failed.
On the test server, for this tree: go vet clean, go test ./... 22 packages
ok, make e2e ok (126 s).

architecture.md § Log tailer gains "Stored lines": what is kept and why the
queue id is read from the head of a line, why the tailer does not check for a
row before writing, the one prune rule that is the table's retention, how a
row is given its lines when Postfix reuses queue ids, the write-once rule
while catching up, and the size. QueueLines is described as what it is now,
the fallback for rows without stored lines. guide.md: the message page keeps
its lines after rotation; retention also bounds the kept lines, which are in
a full backup.

The Delivery log box on a message's page was filled by searching the current
mail.log on every view; that file is rotated daily, so the box was empty for
anything not sent today. deliveryLog now asks the store for the row's lines -
its queue id, dated within the row's queue lifetime plus a day
(RetryPolicy.LongestLifetime) - and shows the latest 200, oldest first.
When nothing is stored the page still searches the current file, which is
what shows a message accepted before 2.2.0. When that finds nothing either,
the note no longer blames rotation for the ordinary case: it says lines are
kept with the row since 2.2.0. The Outbound log help topic in help.go follows
the mockup changed in fc184ec, word for word.
Checked on Windows: go vet clean; go test ./internal/web/... ./internal/postfix
./internal/store pass, the guards among them. New test: lines shown from the
table when mail.log holds none of them, without another queue id's lines and
without those of an earlier message under the same id.

The topic said a message's lines are found in mail.log by queue id and that an
old message may show none, because that file is rotated. With
delivery-log-storage the lines are kept with the row: they stay on the page
for as long as the row does and go with it. A message accepted before 2.2.0
shows them only while they are in the current file.

Every mail.log line headed by a queue id is written to send_log_lines as the
tailer reads it, dated by the line's own stamp. The id is taken from the head
of the line only - the tail is the far end's text - and has to look like one:
"NOQUEUE:" and "warning:" stand in the same place.
The tailer does not check for a send-log row first: a message's first lines
come before the journal milter writes it. Lines that never get a row are
removed by the prune, which deletes lines older than an hour whose queue id
no row carries. It runs at start, after each send-log sweep and hourly.
While the tailer catches up at start a line is written only if it is not
there already, as the inbound journal does: its place is saved every few
seconds, so an unclean stop means reading some lines twice.
Checked on Windows: go vet clean; go test ./internal/logtail passes except
TestFollowTailsAndRotates, which fails there on renaming an open file and
always did. New tests: which line heads are queue ids, a line dated by its
stamp, no second copy after a rewound offset, the prune cadence and cutoff.

Migration 0003_send_log_lines.sql, DDL only: queue id, the line's own time,
the line. No reference to send_log, because a message's first lines are
logged before the journal milter writes its row and one queue id is several
rows.
Store methods: InsertSendLogLine; InsertSendLogLineOnce for lines the tailer
reads twice after an unclean stop; SendLogLines, which gives a row the lines
of its queue id dated from an hour before the row to the queue lifetime after
it, so a later message under a reused id is not shown; PruneSendLogLines,
which deletes lines whose queue id has no send-log row - the whole of the
table's retention. A line is cut to 4096 bytes.
Nothing writes or reads the table yet. Checked on Windows: go vet and
go test ./internal/store pass, with the schema test pinning the new table,
its index and user_version 3.

The owner agreed the item on 2026-10-12 (option 1 of the roadmap entry: store
the lines). plans/delivery-log-storage.md records what that means in detail:
every mail.log line headed by a queue id goes into send_log_lines with the
line's own time; a line is a row's when the id matches and its time lies
within the row's queue lifetime, which is the bound against Postfix reusing
ids; a line whose id has no send-log row is deleted after an hour, which is
both the retention and the clean-up of inbound and bounce lines; the page
reads the table and falls back to the current file for rows older than it.
Eight checklist steps, cut 2.2.0.
