+#+TITLE: Triage Intake — Personal Gmail Source
+#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings & Claude
+#+DATE: 2026-05-26
+
+# Source plugin for the triage-intake engine. See triage-intake.org for the
+# contract and the Phase A-D orchestration. This file declares ONE source.
+
+* Source: personal-gmail
+:PROPERTIES:
+:ORDER:         20
+:ENABLED:       mcp google-docs-personal present
+:ANCHOR:        epoch
+:SUBAGENT_OVER: 50
+:END:
+
+** Scan
+
+Personal Gmail unread in the inbox since the anchor:
+
+#+begin_src text
+mcp__google-docs-personal__listMessages  q="is:unread in:inbox after:<anchor-epoch>"  maxResults=100
+#+end_src
+
+⚠ *Express the cutoff as the literal UNIX epoch* — =after:1778856990=, not =after:YYYY/MM/DD=. Gmail's =after:YYYY/MM/DD= operator only supports day resolution; the =YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS= form is NOT valid syntax — Gmail parses the space as a term separator, treats =HH:MM:SS= as a search term that never matches, and returns 0 results, silently masking unread mail. The engine supplies =<anchor-epoch>= because this source declares =ANCHOR: epoch=.
+
+⚠ *Do NOT add =-category:promotions -category:social=.* That filter masked 67 promo+social messages across two runs (2026-05-04, 2026-05-06), both needing a follow-up sweep. Pull the full unfiltered set; the trash-leaning bias in Classify handles promotions and social directly.
+
+⚠ *The MCP caps at =maxResults=100= and exposes NO =pageToken= parameter.* The response carries a =nextPageToken=, but the tool can't consume it, so a pile over 100 is silently truncated — the tail below the cap never gets classified, and every later anchored sweep skips it (it predates the new anchor). This is exactly how a 300+ backlog accumulated invisibly by 2026-07-08. Two consequences:
+
+- *Never treat a 100-row result as complete.* When a scan returns exactly 100, walk the tail in *date slices*: re-query with =before:<oldest-full-day-seen>= (day resolution), repeat until a page returns fewer than 100, dedupe by message id across slices (the day-resolution boundary overlaps).
+- *Never report =resultSizeEstimate= as a count.* It's unreliable — observed stuck at "201" across three different queries whose real union exceeded 300.
+
+*** Backlog-residue check (every sweep — cheap, mandatory)
+
+The anchored scan is blind to anything unread from *before* the anchor. After it, run one probe for pre-anchor residue:
+
+#+begin_src text
+mcp__google-docs-personal__listMessages  q="is:unread in:inbox before:<anchor-YYYY/MM/DD>"  maxResults=5
+#+end_src
+
+If it returns any messages, surface one loud line in the sweep summary: "Backlog: unread predating the anchor exists (N+ shown; date-slice to inventory)" and offer a backlog sweep. Never fold the residue into a quiet sweep — an anchored "no changes" claim is only true for the window the scan saw. (Added 2026-07-08 after ~300 pre-anchor unread accumulated unseen; the probe returns actual messages, so it works where the estimate lies.)
+
+** Classify
+
+Bias: *trash-leaning* — personal Gmail is high noise volume.
+
+- *Noise-trash:* newsletters, Substacks, retail/SaaS marketing, social digests, redundant aggregator digests (Notion/Miro daily), wrong-recipient mail, past-event calendar artifacts.
+- *Noise-keep:* receipts, order confirmations, statements — low value but worth the audit trail.
+- *FYI:* substantive personal mail with no action owed.
+- *Action:* an explicit ask, a reply owed, a time-sensitive personal matter.
