Write down what the last week's features actually do
FEATURES.md had nothing on three of them. The scheduling panel and what it will not show, the filter editors no longer discarding work in silence, and where compose-as-new can be reached from — including the reply strip, which is the one a thumb finds. KNOWN-ISSUES.md gains the free/busy finding, which is the sort of thing that page exists for: it was checked against the live server rather than assumed, free/busy between accounts turns out to need no sharing set up, and a principal offers no route to its calendars at all. Also what the check did *not* settle, and which way ihasmail errs in the meantime. ROADMAP.md gains the two things left deliberately unbuilt: a scheduling view you can visit with no event in hand, and per-message actions from the message list on a touchscreen, where the gesture that would open them already means "select".

Where the server implements `Principal/getAvailability`, the event editor grows

a **scheduling panel**: a row per participant — you first, because scheduling

around everybody except yourself is how two things end up at the same time —

over the days the event spans, marked by the hour or by the day depending on how

wide that is.

length.

**Whoever cannot be read is drawn hatched, never blank.** Free/busy is answered

per principal, and only accounts on this server are principals — so for a guest
|

at another domain there is nothing to read. Leaving them out, which is what

ihasmail used to do, is the one presentation that lies: a row with nothing in it

reads as a diary with nothing in it. A line under the grid says how many and

why.

That limit is the protocol's rather than a gap waiting to be closed. A

`Principal` exposes no route to its calendars at all, so free/busy is not the

weaker permission — it is the only channel between two accounts, and it needs no

sharing to be set up first.
