Communicate is how the workspace talks to people. Burton holds the record. Sibling Rabun processes own provider tokens and the wire.

The Agent can draft a message or enroll a contact in an automation. Verify send status in the plugin, not only in the pane.

Mail

Send and receive with contacts and lists, folders, and IMAP/SMTP. Team mailboxes are created asynchronously by rabun-mail (Stalwart on Ubuntu). Burton never stores Stalwart admin passwords.

Messages

Team SMS outbox and inbox in Burton Postgres. rabun-sms talks to Twilio. Burton never stores Twilio tokens. Rabun never calls Twilio.

Chat and video

Chat is real-time Matrix rooms — local chat or a homeserver. rabun-chat installs Synapse on one host.

Video is personal rooms. LiveKit or Jitsi, switched in Settings.

Conversations

AI-summarized threads as git-versioned markdown, keyed by contact — not a hidden transcript blob. Same idea as the wiki.

Postcards

Physical-style cards belong with Publish when the goal is reaching an address. They still sit in the in-app communications nav group next to mail and SMS.
