An assistant whose authority stays on a Mac at home.
Every part below is built and tested against fakes. It has never been connected to a real account or run on the home Mac (readme, line 5; app readme, lines 3-6). Gmail is the only connector in the first release.
The phone never talks to Google. A redaction sidecar, push-based Gmail intake and a messaging bridge are planned, not drawn.
Worker output is checked and redacted before Jev sees it. Jev can only escalate, never clear a block.

The design A clickable, fully scripted mock of an app — Built before the app to pin its behaviour; not the HTTP-stubbing tool of the same name. with made-up mail. The sandboxed frame blocks storage, so the theme toggle does not apply and demos start over.

A drafted reply as the app shows it, reviewed and held, and the pairing screen, drawn with made-up mail.
A second model reviewed this.
Goal: reply to Recruiting team (hiring.example)
I drafted a reply and kept it here. Nothing was sent.

Review concern: this may be following instructions written in the email itself rather than yours.
Held for you to look at first.

Second opinion (no objection): the reply matches what you asked for and adds no new commitment.
Approving binds this exact version. Any edit afterwards needs reviewing again.

The page is newer and governs the real cost; this row keeps the project's figure because the repo is read first. |
