My Emacs configuration https://git.cjennings.net/dotemacs/atom?h=main 2026-05-26T00:11:00+00:00 2026-05-26T00:11:00+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-26T00:11:00+00:00 urn:sha1:a09398f27f1e93bfbe84e1dd185e70b391e82888 cj/verify-or-create-dir and cj/verify-or-create-file caught every creation failure and only messaged it, so a broken environment for a path the config actually needs stayed quiet until some later module failed in a more confusing way. I gave both an optional required flag and routed failures through a shared cj/--report-path-failure: a required failure raises a prominent display-warning, an optional one is still just logged so it never blocks startup. The initializer now groups its paths by that distinction. Required: the backbone directories (sync, org, roam) and the calendar stubs (gcal/pcal/dcal), since org-agenda-list hangs prompting for those when they're missing. Optional: the secondary dirs and the content files, each populated by its own workflow. I went with a warning rather than a user-error for required failures so a directory hiccup surfaces loudly without aborting init. Added error-path tests: an optional failure logs and never warns, and a required dir or file failure raises a user-constants warning. 2026-05-26T00:06:13+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-26T00:06:13+00:00 urn:sha1:423ca0e8e502661343a8aa02d5c58c5029e40b03 (require 'user-constants) created ~8 directories and ~10 org/calendar files at load time, via a top-level dolist for the calendar stubs and a top-level call to cj/initialize-user-directories-and-files. That meant any bare require — tests, byte-compile, batch tools — wrote to disk. It's why a stray sync/org/ tree kept appearing in the repo during test runs. I removed both top-level forms and folded the gcal/pcal/dcal creation into the initializer. The path defconsts stay exactly as they were, so every consumer that just reads a path is unaffected. init.el now calls the initializer right after requiring the module, guarded by (unless noninteractive), so interactive and daemon startup create everything in the same order as before while a bare require stays side-effect-free. Added tests/test-user-constants.el: loading the module creates nothing, and the initializer creates the backbone dirs and the configured files. Updated the module header — top-level side effects are now none and it's safe to load in tests. 2026-05-24T21:13:01+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-24T21:13:01+00:00 urn:sha1:2d83f8f55977dbf69f4f80e490ed0b96aeea4eee I started the init.el load-graph classification with the foundation batch. I added docs/design/module-inventory.org as the living per-module inventory and annotated the seven foundation modules (system-lib, user-constants, host-environment, system-defaults, keyboard-compat, keybindings, config-utilities) with the load-graph header contract: layer, category, load shape, eager reason, top-level side effects, runtime requires, and direct-test-load safety. I changed no load order, so init.el keeps its current eager order. The inventory records one hidden dependency for Phase 2: system-defaults uses host-environment and user-constants symbols at load while declaring them eval-when-compile, so the compiled module cannot load standalone. 2026-05-16T07:35:38+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-16T07:35:38+00:00 urn:sha1:1c5a2ebab7c721d795ed9331afdb305fd683e172 Six small fixes the 2026-05-15 module-by-module re-review surfaced: - Consolidate `user-home-dir` -- canonical defconst stays in early-init.el (package-archive bootstrap needs it before normal modules load); user-constants.el switches to a `defvar` with the identical `(getenv "HOME")` expression so the module still loads / byte-compiles standalone, but at runtime early-init's defconst wins. - Drop the redundant `(autoload 'env-bsd-p ...)` line in system-defaults.el. The `(eval-when-compile (require 'host-environment))` already exposes the symbol to the byte compiler, and at runtime host-environment is loaded earlier in init.el. Added a comment documenting the boundary. - Convert `cj/debug-modules` and `cj/use-online-repos` from `defvar` to `defcustom`, with `:type`, `:group 'cj`, and a top-level `(defgroup cj ...)` so both show up in M-x customize. - Name the package-archive priorities in early-init.el. Nine new defconsts replace the magic numbers (200 / 125 / 120 / 115 / 100 / 25 / 20 / 15 / 5) with one constant each, plus a header comment explaining the local-first ordering and the gnu > nongnu > melpa > melpa-stable trust ranking within each tier. - Delete the 19-line commented-out `use-package time` world-clock block in chrono-tools.el. `time-zones` immediately above is the active replacement; git history preserves the old config if anyone needs it. - Add coverage for `cj/tmr-select-sound-file`. Collapsed the prefix-arg branch into a delegation to `cj/tmr-reset-sound-to-default` (single reset source) and extracted `cj/tmr--available-sound-files` as a pure helper that tests directly. 9 ERT tests across Normal / Boundary / Error cover the available-sounds helper, the reset path, the prefix-arg delegation (no prompt), the normal selection path, and the empty-dir / missing-dir / cancel boundaries. 2026-05-14T19:09:16+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-05-14T19:09:16+00:00 urn:sha1:4a7529393ebbbc225939f21be783ec624d0a8168 Pressing `T' in dired/dirvish on an audio file already transcribed it; on a video file it bounced with "Not an audio file". Real recordings ship as .mp4 / .mkv at least as often as raw .m4a, so the one-key flow ended at the wrong place. Pipeline now: - audio path -> direct into `cj/--start-transcription-process' (unchanged). - video path -> async ffmpeg extracts the audio track to a temp .mp3 under `temporary-file-directory' (libmp3lame, VBR q:a 4, ~165kbps -- right size for speech, accepted by every backend), then transcribes that file with the temp marked for cleanup after the transcription sentinel fires. Surface changes: - `cj/video-file-extensions' added to user-constants.el (mp4, mkv, mov, webm, avi, m4v, wmv, flv, mpg, mpeg, 3gp, ogv). - New predicates `cj/--video-file-p' / `cj/--media-file-p'. - New `cj/--extract-audio-from-video' (async ffmpeg with success callback; surfaces `cj/--notify' on failure; user-errors if ffmpeg isn't on PATH). - `cj/--start-transcription-process' gains optional `cleanup-file'. Sentinel deletes it after the existing logic runs. Backwards compatible -- the audio flow doesn't pass it. - `cj/transcribe-audio' renamed to `cj/transcribe-media' (dispatcher on audio vs video). `cj/transcribe-audio-at-point' renamed to `cj/transcribe-media-at-point'. Both old names kept as `defalias' so M-x history and any external references still work. - `T' in dired-mode-map + dirvish-mode-map points at `cj/transcribe-media-at-point'. - Module commentary USAGE block updated. 15 new ERT tests in `tests/test-transcription-video.el' cover the predicates (happy/boundary/error), ffmpeg invocation (correct args + missing-ffmpeg path), the dispatcher (audio direct, video via extraction, non-media rejected), the aliases, and the T binding. One existing test in `test-transcription-status-and-commands.el' updated to stub the new delegate name. Verified locally that ffmpeg is on PATH with libmp3lame, and that the exact arg list my code uses produces a valid MP3 from a synthetic test video. 2026-02-21T21:17:16+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-02-21T21:17:16+00:00 urn:sha1:39e0b989ad1fd43c4632d267754eb3621dc3e278 org-agenda-list prompts interactively for missing files, which hangs the async subprocess chime uses to fetch events.

When someone reschedules a single instance of a recurring meeting in Google Calendar, the calendar-sync module now shows the rescheduled time instead of the original RRULE time. New functions: - calendar-sync--get-recurrence-id: Extract RECURRENCE-ID from event - calendar-sync--get-recurrence-id-line: Get full line with TZID params - calendar-sync--parse-recurrence-id: Parse into (year month day hour minute) - calendar-sync--collect-recurrence-exceptions: Collect all exceptions by UID - calendar-sync--occurrence-matches-exception-p: Match occurrences to exceptions - calendar-sync--apply-single-exception: Apply exception data to occurrence - calendar-sync--apply-recurrence-exceptions: Apply all exceptions to occurrences Also adds DeepSat calendar configuration (dcal-file) to user-constants, init.el, and org-agenda-config. 48 unit and integration tests added covering normal, boundary, and error cases. 2025-12-02T13:55:21+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2025-12-02T13:55:21+00:00 urn:sha1:703bc366cf8439a398362d98bef513ef98942fd4 Added multi-URL calendar sync supporting Google and Proton calendars. Each calendar syncs to separate file with per-calendar state tracking. Added 13 property-based tests for RRULE expansion. Total: 150 tests passing.
