The README screenshots were captured on 23 August, before the 2.0 QA work. They show a build with no drag handles on the filter rules, none of the calendar or Sieve fixes, and no read-receipt option in the composer.

All eight retaken against npm run dev:mock on current main, at the same sizes as before — 1420x703, and 500x703 for the phone — so the table lays out exactly as it did.

Three are better than a like-for-like retake:

  • filters — four rules that say something (list-id exists, sender contains, subject contains, a wildcard match), each filing to a different folder, instead of four blank from contains "" rows. The new drag handles are visible.
  • calendar — the month view, which the caption has always claimed; the old shot was the week view.
  • contacts — a contact open in the detail pane rather than an empty "Select a contact".

The capture script is committed as docs/screenshots.mjs so this is repeatable. It drives headless Chrome over CDP rather than a browser extension, which is how the viewport comes out at exactly the old dimensions instead of whatever a window happens to be.

Two things the script's header says outright, because both cost me time:

  • Restart the mock before a run. The filters shot creates rules, so a second run against the same mock shows them twice.
  • The mobile shot is taken by a short run of its own. At the tail of the desktop sequence the app would not render the message list at 500px within the wait, and I did not chase down why — it is a screenshot, and a separate run is reliable.

No code changes; images and one script.
