Vikunja #281. The interruption policy promised four outcomes — deliver_now,
queue, digest, drop — but only three existed: a care candidate the restraint
gate suppressed for quiet hours / away / calendar-busy simply vanished in
loop.Tick's `continue`, with only the trace remembering why.
internal/morning turned out not to be the natural drain: it's a fixed
Item/FactKey checklist engine, not a generic message bundler, so gate-
suppressed nudge text has nowhere to plug into its evidence model. Built a
parallel (but small, reusing the outbox's shape) durable digest instead:
- internal/store: digest_entries table + EnqueueDigestEntry (dedupes by
rule+body, mirroring the delivery outbox's bodyHash), PendingDigestEntries,
ExpireStaleDigestEntries, DrainDigestEntries (mark, never delete — an
audit trail of what she actually said).
- internal/loop: DigestEligible(severity, blockedBy) is the pure boundary —
only genuine restraint blocks (quiet_hours/calendar_busy/presence) even
qualify (cooldown/snooze are not "suppression"); within care, Sev2 (break)
digests, Sev1 (water/meal — stale by the time anyone could resurface them)
drops. High severity never digests; alarms bypass the gate and deliver
unchanged, on purpose.
- cmd/mavend/tick.go: each tick scans ExplainTick's trace for eligible
blocked candidates, enqueues them, sweeps stale entries (24h expiry — the
care rules are daily-cadence, so anything older is describing a day
that's over), and drains the bundle only once the suppression reason has
actually cleared, capped at 3 spoken items plus a trailing count so a
digest can't turn into the exact nagging it was built to avoid.
Tests: store-level round-trip/restart-survival/dedupe/expiry/drain, loop-
level severity-boundary unit tests, and tick-level integration tests for
the drain-only-when-clear and never-digest-high-severity behavior.
The Gatherer now fills State.SnoozeUntil from store.SnoozedUntil instead
of nil, so a snooze finally reaches the gate. RemindDecisions gains the
one restraint check that applies to a reminder — quiet hours, presence
and cooldown are still bypassed, so "wake me 7" is unchanged. Reviewer:
the two tests in internal/loop/gate_test.go are the contract.

Pins the conservative side of Gate(): quiet hours, away, calendar-busy,
cooldown and snooze, plus one nudge per tick at max severity. Reviewers: the
two skipped tests at the bottom are real gaps, not flakes. Reminders ignore
snooze (loop.go:120) and the Gatherer never fills SnoozeUntil (gather.go:153),
so snooze does nothing at runtime. No behaviour was changed.
