Email client check

The digest email is checked automatically on every change (snapshot, table layout and inline styles, dark-mode CSS, and rendering in Chromium and WebKit at desktop and phone widths, light and dark). Real mail clients still need a person, because each rewrites HTML its own way (Outlook desktop renders with Word).

How to run the check

1. Configure SMTP for this instance (see Deployment).

2. Send the reference email to your test inboxes:

   cd backend && python scripts/send_test_digest_email.py you@gmail.com you@outlook.com you@icloud.com

3. Open it in each client below, in light and dark mode, and fill in the table.

What to look for

• Each card shows its title, meta line, summary with the "AI summary" label, and "Why: …" line.
• The four buttons (Read in Weirling, Useful, Not for me, Save) are visible, tappable, and wrap to a second row on a phone, never sideways.
• In dark mode, text is readable, cards are dark (not white boxes), and links are light blue.
• The discovery badge says where the item came from.
• The footer links (fix sources, manage preferences, unsubscribe) work.
• The inbox preview line shows the top story, not template text.
