Phase 4: Polish, settings fix, 7-way AI classification & empty-inbox guarantee (Version: 2026-04.5)

- Fixed settings form silently dropping fields (multipart/form-data parse)
- Fixed IMAP test connection (multipart parse + raw field logging)
- Added IMAPUsername field throughout (model, settings, handlers, worker)
- Replaced smtp.SendMail with custom sendMail (explicit HELO + STARTTLS)
- Added From header to OTP/Welcome emails (RFC5322 compliance)
- Worker now processes ALL INBOX emails (FetchBatch instead of FetchUnseen)
- Fixed go build . compiling debug scripts instead of src/cmd/main.go
- Added Notifications, Finance, Social classification folders (7 total)
- Refined AI prompt with precise category descriptions
- Added session guardrail to AGENTS.md

 - **OTP security**: TLS SMTP, bcrypt storage, 10-minute expiry

+- **Never terminate sessions or kill processes** – do not run `kill`, `killall`, `pkill`, `tmux kill-session`, `exit`, or any command that would terminate the agent's own shell, tmux session, or running processes. The agent runs **inside** a tmux session and killing it disrupts ongoing work. Use `nohup`, `disown`, or `setsid` if a process needs to outlive the session.

+## [2026-04.5] - 2026-04-23
+
+### Fixed
+- **Settings form silently dropped fields**: JavaScript `FormData` sends `multipart/form-data`, but Go's `r.ParseForm()` doesn't handle it; replaced with `r.ParseMultipartForm()` + direct `r.MultipartForm.Value` reads
+- **IMAP test connection always failed**: Exposed and raw-logged all form fields; confirmed `imap_host=imap.openxchange.eu` was sent but not parsed due to multipart issue
+- **IMAPUsername not sent to worker**: Missing `IMAPUsername` field in `MailboxSettings` model, settings form, `SettingsHandler`, `TestConnectionHandler`, and worker `processUser()`
+- **SMTP HELO rejected**: Custom `sendMail()` with explicit HELO hostname + STARTTLS handshake (replaced standard `smtp.SendMail`)
+- **OTP/Welcome emails missing From header**: Added `From:` header to both email bodies (RFC5322 compliance required by VadeSecure)
+- **Worker skipped SEEN emails**: `runSteadyState` used `FetchUnseen()` which only finds emails without `\Seen` flag; changed to `FetchBatch()` (UID range) to process ALL INBOX emails unconditionally
+- **`go build .` compiled wrong entry point**: Root-level debug `*_test.go` files with `package main` caused `go build .` to compile the debug script instead of `src/cmd/main.go`; build now uses `./src/cmd` explicitly
+
+### Added
+- **7-way AI classification**: New `Notifications`, `Finance`, `Social` folders alongside `Important`, `eCommerce`, `Other`, `Spam`; updated prompt.txt with precise category descriptions
+- **Guardrail in AGENTS.md**: "Never terminate sessions or kill processes" rule to prevent accidental session termination
+- **Root-level folder creation**: `Important`, `eCommerce`, `Other`, `Notifications`, `Finance`, `Social`, `Spam` confirmed via IMAP LIST
+
+### Changed
+- Replaced `r.PostFormValue()` / `r.FormValue()` with `r.MultipartForm.Value` map reads for all settings fields
+- Removed stale `:=` declarations that shadowed correctly parsed values with empty strings
+- IMAPUsername takes priority over Email Address for IMAP login when non-empty
