Scenario
The specific job behind this example
An operations team wants searchable message metadata while retaining complete local documents that survive workflow restarts.
Input
What the work started with
- A connected test mailbox with a stable message UID.
- One HTML email and one known attachment.
- The blank Inbox starter and email sync workflow.
Output
What the completed workspace contains
- One table row with message metadata and identity.
- One readable, sanitized local Markdown document.
- No duplicate row or file after the sync is retried.
The result is complete only after these checks.
A generated field, copied record, or finished diagram is not automatically correct. These checks define the minimum acceptance boundary for this example.
Validation checklist
- The cursor advances only after the row and document are durable.
- The linked document opens after Kition restarts.
- Authentication failure is visible and does not create partial final records.
