Emacs chimes, notifications, and modeline reminders so you don't miss events https://git.cjennings.net/chime/atom?h=main 2026-05-11T10:40:24+00:00 2026-05-11T10:40:24+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-11T10:40:24+00:00 urn:sha1:ee90de269e4f65a9b57b4fc9e260d3aa6948b6ca Chime's migration from org-wild-notifier dropped the per-event notify-before property, so a heading could no longer override the global chime-alert-intervals. I brought it back. A heading's :CHIME_NOTIFY_BEFORE: N (a non-negative integer) means "notify once, N minutes before, severity medium" and replaces chime-alert-intervals for that event. The org-wild-notifier name :WILD_NOTIFIER_NOTIFY_BEFORE: still works, as a deprecated alias. When it supplies the value, chime emits one per-session warning pointing at the new name. :CHIME_NOTIFY_BEFORE: wins when both are set. A malformed value logs a message naming the heading and falls back to the global. chime--gather-info reads the property in the async child. The deprecation flag rides on the event alist so the parent emits the warning without changing the async return contract. I also touched two test files. test-chime-async-helpers.el's fixtures fed bare symbols where chime--handle-async-success now expects event alists, so they build real events via chime--make-event. And the new test file's message-capture macro had a lexical-scoping bug (the captured list was invisible after the macro returned), so the two affected tests inline the capture and the macro is gone. 2026-04-22T11:24:57+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-22T11:24:57+00:00 urn:sha1:77b5e8c80b56ffcccb2a44807e15d933f22edb05 Eight tests in a new file covering Normal and Boundary cases for both new helpers. chime--record-async-failure increments the consecutive-failure counter, sets chime-modeline-string to the standard error tooltip, triggers the threshold warning when the counter hits chime-max-consecutive-failures, and leaves chime-modeline-string alone when chime-modeline-no-events-text is nil. chime--handle-async-success resets the counter from non-zero to zero, invokes the callback with the events list, works with an empty events list, and is a no-op on the counter when it already starts at zero.
