Read a resource's reference once per conversation, not before every call.

- **Never overwrite someone else's edit.** A save names the revision it was based on (the posts reference says how). On `stale_revision`, someone else changed the post (the refusal's `author` says who): read it again and re-apply your change to the newer revision, or ask.
|

- **Offer only what a post's or a send's `actions` list,** as the reference's Acting safely says, so a post with no `schedule` or `send_now` (no email provider connected) isn't offered for sending. Read the answer to an act, or its refusal, before telling the publisher what happened or deciding again: it carries the resource as it now stands.
|
|
31
|
+
- **Resolve a wedged send only on the publisher's choice.** Relay the `wedged` condition's message and ask which `resolution` they want, in the words the editor's Resolve dialog shows them: `unsent` is **Assume not sent**, which puts those readers in front of the next post, and `accepted` is **Assume sent**, which records them as sent. Never choose it yourself.
|
|
32
|
+
- **Schedule only when the publisher asks, then send a test.** Once a post is scheduled, a test sends the frozen copy, exactly what will fire, to one address per call: one to each of `test_recipients` from `GET /api/settings`, or ask. Tell them when the send fires, where the post goes, and how to cancel it.
|
|
32
33
|
- **Re-make a scheduled send only on the publisher's word.** Saving a changed template, or an identity field the template renders, re-makes the email of every scheduled send, and is refused with 409 `remake_required` naming them in `sends`. Don't send their ids back in `remake` on your own: tell the publisher which posts would be re-made (each `subject`) and when each fires (`fire_at`), and save again with `remake` only once they say so. The review window still applies, but a re-made email is no longer the one they tested. Then send a test of each send in the response's `remade`, as above, since each needs a fresh one.
|
|
33
|
-
- **Say where a post goes before it's scheduled or sent.** A post is listed in the public archive unless it is **email only**, mailed as usual but left off the archive and the home page. Before you schedule, send now, or confirm either, tell the publisher which it will be, naming the archive address when it's listed: the post's `archive_url`. Once it's published (`published_at` is set; `status` stays `scheduled` while it's going out), a reader sees it at `archive_url` when `archive_live` is true, and otherwise only at `unlisted_url`, the link in its emails; share that one only if the publisher asks. Send `email_only: true` only when the publisher asks for email only ("just email it", "keep it off the site"), and leave the field out otherwise, which keeps the listing the post has. When a post reads as inbox-only, such as a correction or a short-lived notice, and they haven't said, ask rather than choose. A test email puts nothing in the archive.
|

-
- **Change a post's listing or address only when the publisher asks.** Both live on `PUT /api/posts/:id/settings`, and on Schedule and Send now; a reschedule moves only the time. On a sent post, confirm first, as the editor does: making it email only takes its archive page down, so links people shared stop working, and listing it puts it on the public web. A sent post's address is fixed (`slug_permanent`). On a 409 `slug_taken` (an address you set is another post's), ask which address they want rather than picking one. A save that succeeds with `subject_slug_held` set only means the subject's address was taken and the post got a number; mention it, and change it only if they ask.

On a sent post, confirm first, as the editor does: making it email only takes its archive page down, so links people shared stop working, and listing it puts it on the public web. A sent post's address is fixed (`slug_permanent`). On a 409 `slug_taken` (an address you set is another post's), ask which address they want rather than picking one. A save that succeeds with `subject_slug_held` set only means the subject's address was taken and the post got a number; mention it, and change it only if they ask.

- **Until AWS has granted SES production access, never help share the subscribe link or send to anyone but the addresses verified in SES.** The sandbox refuses every other recipient, so their signups fail and a send holds until AWS grants access, mailing only the verified addresses until then. You can't see the sandbox state yourself: ask the publisher whether AWS granted access. Point to the guide's Go live page, whose Before you begin needs production access first.

Never clear a bounce unless the publisher says the problem is gone, and confirm first: it lets mail go to an address that failed.

They hold real addresses, so nothing from the list is ever committed here. A fixture that must be committed uses made-up rows only.

- **`opt_in` is `unknown` unless the file states how consent was collected.** A column that says double or single opt-in sets it; a service's reputation or default doesn't, and a code (`1`, `2`) counts only once the publisher confirms what it means.
|
|
23
|
+
- **Why someone left is a cause, not a suppression.** A source's unsubscribe, a complaint or spam report, and a deletion or erasure request are each an `unsubscribed` row, with `unsubscribe_cause` `reader`, `complaint`, or `erased` when the source says which (`publisher` when the publisher removed them on request), and empty when it doesn't. `suppression` takes only a bounce or a block. A row whose cause is `erased` is recorded with its address alone, so keep nothing else of that person in it.
|
|
23
24
|
- **Never invent a time.** A date with no time of day isn't an instant: leave the column empty and keep the date in `evidence`.
|
|
24
25
|
- **A time without a zone needs the publisher's answer.** Ask which zone the service wrote it in. With no answer, leave the column empty and keep the value in `evidence`. A Unix timestamp already is an instant, but what it records (a signup, a last change) is still the publisher's to say.
|
|
25
26
|
- **`evidence` is verbatim.** The source's consent-relevant columns, under their own names, with their values as written, as strings: a signup IP, a form, a join date, the source's own status flags. A blank value is left out; nothing is reformatted or added. A row's evidence fits in `limits.max_evidence_bytes`; when it wouldn't, the publisher chooses which columns to keep.

1. **Inspect.** Read the header and a sample of every file, including its last rows, and count its rows. List each column with what it seems to hold, and how it maps to the format's columns or to `evidence`, or is left out (a name, a custom field). Ask the publisher about every ambiguity at once, before converting anything: what each distinct status means (or each combination, when the status is spread across flag columns), what each time column records and its zone, what a blank or a code means, whether an address listed twice with different states is one person, which columns to keep as evidence, and the origin. Point to any row that breaks a column's pattern. Say now how many pieces the import will take (step 5).

2. **Once they've answered, hand-convert one row of each kind,** one per distinct combination of status, opt-in, suppression, and time shape, plus each oddity you found (a repeat, an address with spaces or capitals, an invalid one, a quoted comma). Show each beside its source line and get the publisher's approval before writing code.

3. **Write the converter** in the working folder. Its first tests are the approved rows, each source line in and the exact output line expected, plus a test for every edge case found while inspecting. Write the CSV as the format's reference page says (RFC 4180, UTF-8), with a header of every column the format lists, in its order, as the CSV template does. The converter reports, per input file: rows read, rows written, rows dropped with their numbers and why, the invalid rows, the repeats, and the distinct valid addresses by the status their rows claim. Judge an address valid as Kestrel does: once trimmed and lowercased, it has no spaces, one `@`, and a dot after it. Only a valid address's repeats count as repeats.

8. **Put the plan to the publisher:** the counts by outcome, each by its name as the plan gives it (a `kept_…` outcome means the row's status isn't imported: this list's own record wins, or for `kept_suppressed` a suppression here does; `erased` means someone already on this list will be erased, which can't be undone, so name them and make sure the publisher means it), the confirmed rows by opt-in and origin, the invalid and left-out rows, and anything the plan warns about.

9. **Commit that piece** with `POST /api/imports`, sending the plan's body, its `plan_hash`, and, when the plan returned an attestation, `attestation` with its `version` and `accepted: true`. Report the answer's counts and any `differed` rows. Then plan the next piece: a plan made before another import commits is refused as `plan_stale`, so plan each piece only after the one before it has committed. On `plan_stale`, plan again and put the new plan to the publisher.

- **`sends_growing` isn't empty:** a scheduled send would reach the people this import adds. Never send `acknowledge_sends` yourself, whatever token you hold: only the publisher acknowledges a growing send, in the dashboard. Tell the publisher which send and how many it gains. They can finish this piece in the dashboard, which asks them to acknowledge it, or cancel or wait out the send and import with nothing scheduled, which is simpler.

- **`workers_plan_advice` isn't null:** relay its words as they stand, before asking for the attestation. On the Workers Free plan's limits, this piece leaves the list past about 1,000 confirmed subscribers, what the free plan suits, and past about 5,000 one send can use up the day's database writes and stop the newsletter until midnight UTC. Recommend the move to Workers Paid it names, before the next piece if the list is still growing. It never refuses the import, and the pieces needn't wait for another day.

Finish by reporting, across all the pieces: rows read, rows dropped and why, and the counts by outcome as committed. Then tell the publisher where the working folder is and that it holds their readers' addresses, and offer to delete it. Delete it only on their yes, since it may hold their only copy of the export.
