chore: clean dead todo.org doc-links and file three docs to outbox
I removed three dead `file:` links in todo.org. They pointed at docs that were never written: testing-strategy.org, firmware-cleanup.org, and PLAN-browser-themes.org. Each task body already carries that content inline, so the links were dead weight. I also reworded the Testinfra task's lead-in that claimed the testing-strategy doc exists.
I filed three resolved reference docs into assets/outbox/: the calendar-sync scrub note, the tmux copy-mode handoff, and the 2026-05-19 lint follow-up report.

The real +file lives under common/ and is symlinked back into ~/.emacs.d/ +on this machine: + + ~/.emacs.d/calendar-sync.local.el + -> ~/code/archsetup/dotfiles/common/.emacs.d/calendar-sync.local.el + +A matching template, calendar-sync.local.el.example, was checked +into the dotemacs repo so future setups know what shape the file +needs to take. The .example file is tracked in dotemacs; +calendar-sync.local.el itself is gitignored in dotemacs (entry +already present at .gitignore:54). + +Why +--- + +On 2026-05-04, commit cc594fd ("Make calendar sync startup safe +without config") in the dotemacs repo refactored +modules/calendar-sync.el to stop hard-coding the calendar feed +URLs inline. The new design loads them from a private file at +~/.emacs.d/calendar-sync.local.el. That file is gitignored in +dotemacs, so it never propagates across machines via the dotemacs +checkout. + +This laptop never got the file created. M-x calendar-sync-now +failed with "calendar-sync: No calendars configured". State file +(data/calendar-sync-state.el) showed last successful sync at +2026-05-01 16:57, three days before the refactor landed -- +confirming the gap. + +Putting the file under common/ in archsetup means GNU Stow +distributes it the same way every other dotfile is distributed: +make stow links it into $HOME on each machine. + +Heads-up for archsetup +---------------------- + +The file contains real private .ics feed URLs (Google personal, +Proton, Google work). It is currently TRACKED in archsetup -- +.gitignore was not modified to exclude it, because the whole +point of putting it under common/ is for it to flow to other +machines via git pull + make restow. + +The archsetup remote is git@cjennings.net:archsetup.git only -- +your private server, no public mirror -- so exposure is bounded +to that host. Same URLs are already in dotemacs git history on +both cjennings.net and the github.com mirror anyway (from +cc594fd^). The dotemacs URLs were left in place by choice. + +If you ever change your mind on tracking, the move is: + 1. Regenerate the .ics secret addresses in each calendar's UI. + 2. Add dotfiles/common/.emacs.d/calendar-sync.local.el to + archsetup/.gitignore. + 3. Distribute the file out-of-band (manual copy, age-encrypted, + pass, whatever). + +While here: inbox/ was root-owned (since 2026-04-10) and +unwritable as cjennings, blocking note creation. Ran: + sudo chown -R cjennings:cjennings ~/code/archsetup/inbox/ +to normalize. No idea what set it to root originally -- probably +a sudo-driven install step. Worth flagging if it returns. + +Action items +------------ + +- Decide whether to commit common/.emacs.d/calendar-sync.local.el + in archsetup (recommended) or pull it into a separate private + channel. +- On every other machine: pull archsetup, run `make restow + <de>`, restart Emacs. The symlink should appear and the next + M-x calendar-sync-now will work. |
