This week focused on validating the end-to-end email pipeline. I manually tested the full flow — enqueue → Redis signal → EmailWorkerCommand → UserMailer send — for all four transactional emails (welcome, resetPassword, adminNewUser, adminCrowdsourcingPrivilege) in the dev Docker stack. I confirmed jobs move correctly through email_jobs statuses, the worker picks them up via Redis and DB fallback, and emails are delivered through Postfix. Toward the end of the week I started scoping the next piece of work: the existing HTML templates are standalone blocks with no shared layout or branding, and admin notifications are sent as plain text only. I began reviewing them to plan a shared, branded layout to pick up the following week.
| # | Day | Date | A short description of the work done |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monday | 2026/06/22 | Tested user registration flow end-to-end: verified welcome and adminNewUser jobs are enqueued and processed by the email worker. |
| 2 | Tuesday | 2026/06/23 | Tested password reset and crowdsourcing privilege flows; confirmed resetPassword and adminCrowdsourcingPrivilege emails send with correct payloads. |
| 3 | Wednesday | 2026/06/24 | Ran full pipeline checks in Docker — job status transitions, Redis dispatch, DB fallback recovery, and Postfix delivery for all four transactional emails. |
| 4 | Thursday | 2026/06/25 | Wrapped up pipeline validation and resolved a couple of issues found during testing. |
| 5 | Friday | 2026/06/26 | Reviewed the existing email templates and mailer setup; scoped a shared, branded HTML layout and identified that admin notifications were being sent as text-only. |
