fix(calendar-sync): run the sync from a timer instead of the agenda hook
The hourly timer armed itself from org-agenda-mode-hook, so a session where
I never opened the agenda never synced at all. After a reboot that is every
session until the first agenda call. I found it with all three calendar
files still frozen at the pre-reboot write, five hours stale.
The deferral had a real reason. Feed URLs behind :secret-host live in
authinfo.gpg, and starting at load would prompt for a passphrase on a cold
gpg-agent. The cost was worse than what it bought.
A user timer owns the schedule now, every ten minutes.
calendar-sync-auto-start defaults to nil so the editor no longer arms its
own. scripts/calendar-sync-run is the batch entry point, and it blocks
until every calendar leaves the syncing state. The pipeline is asynchronous
end to end, so a batch Emacs that returns early exits zero having written
nothing.
Installing it on a machine that resolves its feeds through :secret-host
surfaced two bugs the inline-url machine could never show:
- cj/auth-source-secret-value called auth-source-search behind nothing but
a declare-function, which quiets the compiler and loads nothing. An
interactive Emacs always has auth-source in by the time anyone calls, so
the omission stayed invisible until a batch -Q sync died on a void
function. The require is guarded on fboundp. An unconditional one reloads
auth-source over whatever is already there, which replaced a caller's
stubbed search mid-call and sent an existing test out to the real
authinfo.
- A synchronous failure in one calendar aborted the whole loop. The async
callbacks record their own failures, but they never run when the error
lands before a process starts. Resolving a :secret-host feed signals
outright on a cold agent. Failures are contained per calendar now, so one
bad feed no longer costs the other two.
A failed row prints the reason it recorded. Batch Emacs discards the
*Messages* buffer the interactive path logs to, so without it the journal
shows only "error", with no way to tell a cold agent from a revoked token.
