# Project state

## Current milestone

F01-F07 are implemented and locally verified. The owner reports the authenticated internal SMTP test worked after entering the password; detailed received-image rendering is not separately recorded. F08 now has review, full footer preview, campaign-specific internal test, and paused approval. Its disposable MDB/MIME integration test passes; the real campaign-specific inbox test requires the physical postal address. Campaign sending remains unavailable.

## Decisions

- Sending only while the HTA is open; reopening requires explicit resume.
- Access `.mdb`; this PC has working x86 Jet/ACE providers and no working x64 provider in the diagnostic probe.
- System settings in local INI; campaign and queue data in MDB; password protected with DPAPI CurrentUser when implemented.
- No live business-contact sends during development or automated tests.
- The owner supplied a private internal test inbox; it is stored only in ignored `config.ini`. The postal address remains blank until setup.

## Next dependencies

- Enter the business postal address in local `config.ini` before campaign review and approval.
- Import the intended template, run its campaign-specific internal test, and inspect the received message before approving it.
- Implement in-app dispatch, pacing, pause, recovery, and reporting (F09-F10) before any business-contact send.
