Release 1.9.1

Fix sidebar not clickable: List(SidebarSection.allCases, selection:) ties
selection to Identifiable's id (String) while the binding was typed
SidebarSection? -- rebuilt with the standard List(selection:) { ForEach {
.tag(section) } } pattern instead, plus .listStyle(.sidebar).

Fix "Write to calendars" hard to find: still present as the Dry Run/Write
toolbar segmented control, but likely lost to toolbar overflow alongside a
status readout, Sync Now, and the overflow menu all in one
ToolbarItemGroup. Moved status out to .navigationSubtitle (native, never
overflows), toolbar now just Dry Run/Write, Sync Now/Cancel, overflow menu.

All unit tests pass.

+# BusyMirror — Agent Reference
+
+> This file is written for AI coding agents. It assumes you know nothing about the project.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**BusyMirror** is a macOS utility (standard app + menu bar extra) that mirrors calendar events from a source calendar into one or more target calendars, creating busy-placeholder events so availability stays consistent across accounts and devices.
+
+It is a single-platform macOS app written in **Swift 5** and **SwiftUI**, using **EventKit** to read and write calendar data. The app runs as a standard app (Dock icon, ⌘Q) and also has a `MenuBarExtra` for quick sync/status.
+
+Key capabilities:
+- Manual or route-driven multi-source mirroring
+- Privacy mode: hide details (placeholder title)
+- DRY-RUN mode to preview changes without writing
+- Scheduled headless runs via a self-installed `launchd` LaunchAgent
+- Settings autosave/restore, plus Import/Export JSON
+- CLI support for headless/scripted runs
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+| Layer | Technology |
+|-------|------------|
+| Language | Swift 5.0 |
+| UI Framework | SwiftUI + AppKit (menu bar, panels) |
+| Calendar API | EventKit (`EKEventStore`, `EKEvent`, `EKCalendar`) |
+| Persistence | `UserDefaults` (JSON-encoded settings), `@AppStorage` |
+| Scheduling | `launchd` / `launchctl` (user LaunchAgent) |
+| Build System | Xcode project (`BusyMirror.xcodeproj`) + Makefile |
+| Target OS | macOS 15.5+ |
+| Signing | Ad-hoc (`CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "-"`) — not notarized |
+
+No external Swift Package Manager dependencies are used. The project is self-contained.

+```
+
+**Architecture note:** `ContentView.swift` handles the SwiftUI view hierarchy, settings serialization, CLI argument parsing, `launchd` scheduling, and logging. The EventKit mirror engine lives in `MirrorEngine.swift` and is invoked from `ContentView` via `makeEngine()`. Pure helper logic (block math, filters, URL utilities) has been extracted into standalone files for testability.
+
+When making changes, keep the existing data flow (`@EnvironmentObject`, `@AppStorage`, `@State`) intact in `ContentView.swift`.
+
+## Build and Release Commands
+
+### Makefile targets
+
+```bash
+make build-debug      # Debug build via xcodebuild
+make build-release    # Release build via xcodebuild
+make sign-app         # Ad-hoc sign the Release app (strip xattr, codesign)
+make app              # Verify signed app exists
+make package          # Create BusyMirror-<version>-macOS.zip + .sha256
+make clean            # Clean derived data
+```
+
+Built products:
+- Unsigned release: `build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Release/BusyMirror.app`
+- Signed release: `build/ReleaseSigned/BusyMirror.app`
+
+### Xcode
+
+1. Open `BusyMirror.xcodeproj`.
+2. Select **BusyMirror** scheme → **My Mac**.
+3. **Product → Build** (or **Archive** for distribution).
+
+### Versioning
+
+- `MARKETING_VERSION` and `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` live in `project.pbxproj`.
+- The Makefile extracts `MARKETING_VERSION` automatically for ZIP naming.
+- Update both Debug and Release build configurations when bumping the version.
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+
+- **Language:** all code, comments, and user-facing strings are in **English**.
+- **Concurrency:** `@MainActor` is required on methods that mutate SwiftUI `@State` or call EventKit on the main thread. The compiler enforces strict concurrency.
+- **Formatting:** standard Swift style (4-space indentation). No external linter is configured.
+- **Logging:** use the `log(_:)` method inside `ContentView`; it appends to both the on-screen log editor and the persistent file log (`~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/BusyMirror.log`).
+- **Error handling:** EventKit errors are caught and logged; they must never crash the app. The file logger swallows its own errors silently.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit tests exist in `BusyMirrorTests/` for `BlockMath`, `EventFilters`, and `MirrorUtils`.
+- When adding logic, prefer extracting pure functions (e.g., block merging, gap calculation, filter logic) so they can be unit-tested.
+- Manual testing checklist for releases:
+  1. Grant Calendar permission.
+  2. Select a source and target, run DRY-RUN, verify log output.
+  3. Toggle WRITE and run Mirror Now; verify placeholders appear in the target calendar.
+  4. Move a source event and re-run; verify the placeholder updates.
+  5. Test Cleanup Placeholders (dry-run and write).
+  6. Add a route, install a schedule, verify the LaunchAgent plist is created in `~/Library/LaunchAgents/`.
+  7. Trigger a menu-bar sync and confirm the window opens if not visible.
+
+## Security and Privacy Considerations
+
+- **Calendar data:** the app reads and writes the user’s calendars via EventKit. It must handle permission denial gracefully.
+- **Sandbox:** the app uses the macOS app sandbox (`com.apple.security.app-sandbox`) and the `com.apple.security.personal-information.calendars` entitlement.
+- **Signing:** releases are ad-hoc signed only (`codesign --sign -`). They are **not notarized**. Gatekeeper may block the app on first launch; users may need to right-click → Open.
+- **Loop guard:** a `sessionGuard` set prevents mirroring an event into the same target twice in one run, and prefix-based detection (`titlePrefix`) prevents re-mirroring already-mirrored placeholders.
+- **Logging:** log files are written to the user’s `~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/`. No log data is transmitted externally.
+
+## CLI and Scheduling
+
+The binary supports headless execution:
+
+```bash
+# Run saved routes (used by the LaunchAgent)
+BusyMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/BusyMirror --run-saved-routes --write 1 --exit
+
+# Manual route via 1-based UI indices
+BusyMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/BusyMirror --routes "1->2,3" --write 1 --exit
+```
+
+Relevant flags: `--privacy`, `--copy-notes`, `--sync-reminders`, `--all-day`, `--days-forward`, `--days-back`, `--merge-gap-hours`, `--mode`, `--exclude-titles`, `--exclude-organizers`, `--cleanup-only`, `--exit`.
+
+Diagnostic/query flags (no calendar write, exit immediately): `--help`/`-h`, `--list-calendars [--json]`, `--status [--json]`. `--status` reads `lastRunAtISO`/`lastRunOK`/`lastRunSummary` in `UserDefaults`, written by `recordRunResult(ok:summary:)` at the end of every `--routes`/`--run-saved-routes` invocation. Exit codes: `2` = no calendar access, `3` = `--run-saved-routes` with no saved routes.
+
+Scheduled runs are implemented by generating a `launchd` plist in `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cqrenet.BusyMirror.saved-routes.plist` and bootstrapping it with `launchctl`. The app removes and re-bootstraps the agent on every "Install Schedule" click.
+
+## Key Files to Know
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `BusyMirror/ContentView.swift` | UI, settings, CLI, scheduling |
+| `BusyMirror/MirrorEngine.swift` | EventKit mirror engine (runMirror, runCleanup, index persistence) |
+| `BusyMirror/MirrorConfig.swift` | Configuration struct for mirror runs |
+| `BusyMirror/MirrorUtils.swift` | Mirror URL builders, event detection, calendar labels |
+| `BusyMirror/BlockMath.swift` | Block merging, gap calculation, overlap logic |
+| `BusyMirror/EventFilters.swift` | Work-hours, title, and organizer filters |
+| `BusyMirror/BusyMirrorApp.swift` | App struct, window scene, menu-bar extra |
+| `BusyMirror/MenuBarSupport.swift` | `@MainActor` app controller + menu bar SwiftUI view |
+| `BusyMirror/AppLogStore.swift` | File-backed log with rotation (`~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/`) |
+| `BusyMirror/Info.plist` | calendar/reminders usage descriptions |
+| `BusyMirror/BusyMirror.entitlements` | Sandbox + calendar entitlement |
+| `Makefile` | Reproducible build, sign, and package targets |
+| `CHANGELOG.md` | Release notes (human-readable) |
+| `ROADMAP.md` | Planned features |
+
+## Notes for Agents
+
+- Do **not** add third-party dependencies unless the user explicitly asks. The project intentionally has zero external packages.
+- If you refactor `ContentView.swift`, preserve `@AppStorage` keys and `UserDefaults` keys exactly; users have existing settings on disk.
+- The mirror engine (`MirrorEngine.swift`) is `@MainActor` and accepts an `EKEventStore` plus a logging closure. It does not directly mutate SwiftUI `@State`; `ContentView` manages all view state.
+- When modifying build settings, update both Debug and Release configurations in `project.pbxproj`, and update `CHANGELOG.md` if the change is user-visible.
+- Do not run `git commit`, `git push`, or similar operations unless explicitly asked.

 All notable changes to BusyMirror will be documented in this file.
 
+## [1.9.1] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Sidebar not clickable.** `sidebarView` used `List(SidebarSection.allCases, selection:)` (the data-driven initializer), which ties selection to `Identifiable`'s `id` — a `String` for `SidebarSection` — while the binding was typed `SidebarSection?`. Rebuilt with the standard `List(selection:) { ForEach(...) { ... .tag(section) } }` pattern, which binds selection directly to the (`Hashable`) section value with no ambiguity. Also added `.listStyle(.sidebar)`, the standard modifier for a `NavigationSplitView` sidebar (vibrancy, selection color) that was missing.
+- **"Write to calendars" hard to find.** It was still there as the Dry Run/Write segmented control in the toolbar, but likely lost to toolbar overflow alongside a status readout, Sync Now, and the overflow menu all crammed into one `ToolbarItemGroup`. Moved the calendar-count/status text out of the toolbar entirely into `.navigationSubtitle` (always visible, native, never subject to overflow), leaving the toolbar to just Dry Run/Write, Sync Now/Cancel, and the overflow menu.
+
+Not independently confirmed by clicking through the UI (no GUI automation available in this environment) — the `List(selection:)` fix follows SwiftUI's standard, unambiguous sidebar-selection pattern.
+
+## [1.9.0] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Added
+- **Sidebar navigation redesign.** Main window is now a `NavigationSplitView`: a sidebar (Routes / Schedule / Activity Log, with a route-count badge) replaces the old 2×2 grid of panel cards. Primary actions (Dry Run/Write, sync status, Sync Now) moved to the window toolbar; Export/Import/Reveal Log/Cleanup Placeholders/Refresh Calendars/Recheck Permission moved into a toolbar overflow menu.
+- **Routes** are now a real collapsed-by-default list — click a row to expand its editor (Private, Copy description, Sync reminders, Mirror all-day, merge gap, overlap, Remove) instead of every route always showing every field. The manual source/target picker lives in a collapsible "Manual Selection" section above the list.
+- **Schedule** view leads with live auto-sync status (armed/watching, last sync) instead of a bare `launchd` form; the manual fixed-time schedule is still there, demoted to an explicitly optional section underneath — matches what it actually became once 1.7.0 shipped event-driven sync.
+- **Activity Log** is now readable rows (status icon + text) instead of a monospaced text dump, with a search filter and a Clear button for the in-app view (the persistent file log on disk is untouched).
+- Menu bar dropdown got icons on every item and real ⌘,/⌘Q keyboard shortcuts on Preferences/Quit.
+- Design explored first as a mockup (light+dark) before any SwiftUI changes; direction confirmed before implementing.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Routes silently dropped on most launches, masked by a legacy fallback.** `reloadCalendars()` pruned routes referencing calendars not in the current EventKit fetch — but the fetch immediately following a permission grant (a freshly-created `EKEventStore`) can under-report calendars for a moment, especially remote accounts (Exchange/CalDAV), before they finish loading. Every affected launch wrongly deleted real routes, and only kept working because of a legacy `routes.v1` backup key kept rescuing them — a backup that itself was frozen at whatever it held the first time it was ever written, since nothing updated it afterward. Any real route edit made in a session that hit this bug would have been silently lost on the next launch. Fixed by skipping the prune specifically on the post-permission-grant reload (`reloadCalendars(pruneRoutes: false)`) — the EKEventStoreChanged-triggered reload and an explicit "Refresh Calendars" click, both against an already-warm store, still prune as before — and by keeping the `routes.v1` backup itself current on every save instead of frozen. Confirmed via `--status`/reading the UserDefaults plist directly on a real install: routes stopped disappearing across repeated launches. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.8.3] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Preferences missing from the standard app menu.** 1.8.1's fix for Preferences (a plain `Window` opened via `openWindow`) worked around `LSUIElement` having no app menu, but 1.8.2 removed `LSUIElement` and the workaround was never swapped back — so there was still no "Preferences…" in the app's own menu or Cmd+, response, only a button buried in the main window and a menu-bar-dropdown item. Restored a real `Settings { }` scene now that the app menu exists to host it; both the menu bar dropdown and the main window's button now call the standard `openSettings()` action (via `SettingsLink` in the main window) instead of a custom `openWindow(id:)`. ([BusyMirrorApp.swift](BusyMirror/BusyMirrorApp.swift), [MenuBarSupport.swift](BusyMirror/MenuBarSupport.swift), [ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.8.2] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Changed
+- **Standard app instead of menu-bar-only.** Removed `LSUIElement` from `Info.plist`: BusyMirror now shows a Dock icon, appears in Cmd+Tab, and gets the standard app menu (Cmd+Q to quit, among others). The menu bar extra stays as a secondary quick-access point. This also fixes the practical problem it was causing: with no Dock icon and no accessible app menu, there was no reliable way to quit the app to let an update replace the bundle — you had to know the menu bar dropdown's "Quit BusyMirror" existed and use exactly that. Verified via `lsappinfo` (`type="Foreground"`, previously `UIElement`) since this app type change isn't something a screenshot would catch either.
+
+## [1.8.1] - 2026-08-26
+
+### Fixed
+- **Preferences window unreachable**: 1.8.0's Settings scene (⌘,) and its `SettingsLink` button didn't work because BusyMirror is an `LSUIElement` (accessory) app — those don't get the standard app menu, so there's no menu for the automatic "Settings…" command or Cmd+, to live in. Replaced the `Settings { }` scene with a plain `Window(id: "preferences-window")`, opened via `openWindow(id:)` — the same mechanism that already reliably opens the main window from the menu bar. Also added a "Preferences…" item to the menu bar dropdown itself, so there are two direct routes in instead of one that depended on OS menu plumbing this app type doesn't get. ([BusyMirrorApp.swift](BusyMirror/BusyMirrorApp.swift), [MenuBarSupport.swift](BusyMirror/MenuBarSupport.swift), [ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.8.0] - 2026-08-26
+
+### Added
+- **Real Settings (⌘,) window**: `PreferencesView` now hosts the pure-defaults controls (time window, privacy/mirroring defaults, title prefix/placeholder, work hours, skip filters) that used to live in the main window's "General Settings" panel. They're `@AppStorage`-backed so both windows always see the same live values. Main window keeps everything with session/live state: routes, calendar picker, dry-run toggle, Export/Import, manual scheduling, cleanup.
+- **Menu bar icon reflects state**: idle (`calendar.badge.clock`), syncing (`arrow.triangle.2.circlepath.circle.fill`), or last run failed (`exclamationmark.triangle.fill`).
+- **Menu bar dropdown diagnostics**: last-sync time and result, and whether auto-sync is currently armed — sourced from the same `lastRunAtISO`/`lastRunOK`/`lastRunSummary` keys `--status` reads, so CLI/interactive/auto-sync runs all feed the same indicator.
+- **`ContentView.swift` split** from ~2000 lines into `CalendarsSectionView`, `RoutesSectionView`, `ScheduleSectionView`, `LogSectionView` (plus a small shared `CalendarDisplay.swift`). View-layer extraction — state ownership and settings persistence were deliberately left untouched, since that's exactly the area the 1.6.0/1.6.1 release had to fix a real data-loss bug in.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Latent revert-on-relaunch bug**, caught while building the Settings window: moving the `@AppStorage`-backed preference controls out of `ContentView` meant changing them no longer re-triggered `saveSettingsToDefaults()`, so the `settings.v2` snapshot blob could go stale relative to the individual UserDefaults keys. Since `loadSettingsFromDefaults()` used the same full `applySnapshot` as Import, the next launch would silently revert a preference you'd just changed in Preferences back to whatever the stale blob had. Fixed by splitting launch-time restore into a narrow `restoreLaunchState` (routes + manual selection only — the only state that isn't already self-restoring via `@AppStorage`) separate from `applySnapshot` (unchanged, still used by Import where overwriting everything is the point). ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.7.0] - 2026-08-26
+
+### Added
+- **Event-driven background sync**, replacing the hourly `launchd StartInterval` poll (which only fired if the Mac happened to be awake at that instant, and got throttled/coalesced by macOS). Once saved routes exist, the app registers as a login item (`SMAppService.mainApp`), removes any previously-installed `launchd` schedule, and reacts to `EKEventStoreChanged` (debounced ~3s), `NSWorkspace.didWakeNotification` (resync after sleep), and a 30-minute fallback timer as a safety net for a missed notification. Auto-sync always writes (`writeEnabled: true`) regardless of the interactive dry-run toggle, matching what the old scheduled `--write 1` runs did.
+- This logic lives in `BusyMirrorAppController`, not `ContentView` — the controller is owned by the `App` struct for the whole process lifetime, whereas `ContentView`'s own `EKEventStoreChanged` observer is torn down in `.onDisappear` when the main window closes (confirmed: `MenuBarSupport.swift`'s "Sync Now" already reopens the window before syncing, which only makes sense if the window's state is discarded on close). Auto-sync needs to work with the window closed, so it can't live there. ([MenuBarSupport.swift](BusyMirror/MenuBarSupport.swift))
+
+## [1.6.1] - 2026-08-26
+
+### Added
+- **Sync reminders**: new "Sync reminders when mirroring" option (global and per-route) copies source event alarms/relative offsets into mirrored placeholders. This lets calendars that are synced to a phone ring for mirrored events. When merging is enabled, only the first event's alarms are preserved for a merged block. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift), [MirrorEngine.swift](BusyMirror/MirrorEngine.swift), [BlockMath.swift](BusyMirror/BlockMath.swift))
+- CLI flag `--sync-reminders` to enable reminder syncing from scripted/headless runs.
+- CLI polish: `--help`/`-h`, `--list-calendars`, and `--status` (all support `--json` for machine-readable output). Scheduled/headless runs now record last-run time, success/failure, and a summary so `--status` can report real diagnostics instead of just log-file grepping. Failure paths (`no calendar access`, `no saved routes`) now exit with distinct nonzero codes instead of always exiting 0. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+### Fixed
+- **Settings silently wiped on upgrade**: `SettingsPayload` used fully auto-synthesized `Codable`, so decoding a settings blob written by an older build (missing a field added since, e.g. `syncReminders`) threw `keyNotFound` and failed the *entire* decode — not just that one field. The app then ran with in-code defaults (empty routes, filters, etc.), and the next autosave persisted that empty state back over the real data. `SettingsPayload` now has a custom `init(from:)` that reads every field added after the first release with `decodeIfPresent` + its existing default, matching the pattern `Route` already used. `loadSettingsFromDefaults()` also now recovers routes from the legacy `routes.v1` backup key if `settings.v2` decodes successfully but with an empty `routes` array — repairing installs that already hit this bug before upgrading. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift), [SettingsPayloadTests.swift](BusyMirrorTests/SettingsPayloadTests.swift))
+
+## [1.5.1] - 2026-05-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Mirror index dirtied on every sync**: `MirrorRecord` used synthesized `Equatable` which included `updatedAt: Date = Date()`. Because `updatedAt` is set to the current time whenever a record is constructed, the comparison used to detect changes always returned "not equal", causing `UserDefaults` to be written on every sync run even when nothing changed. A custom `==` / `hash(into:)` now excludes `updatedAt`. ([MirrorEngine.swift](BusyMirror/MirrorEngine.swift))
+- **Mirror URL corruption with special characters in calendar IDs**: `buildMirrorURL` placed raw calendar and source IDs into the URL path without percent-encoding them. If any ID contained the `;` separator character the resulting URL would be mis-parsed on the next sync. `mirrorURLComponentEncode` (which already existed and was tested) is now called on all ID fields before they are joined. The path is set via `percentEncodedPath` to prevent `URLComponents` from double-encoding the already-encoded values. ([MirrorUtils.swift](BusyMirror/MirrorUtils.swift))
+- **Dead constant**: removed unused `SKIP_ALL_DAY_DEFAULT = true` from `ContentView.swift`.
+- **Deprecated `FileHandle` API**: replaced `FileHandle(forWritingAtPath:)` + `handle.closeFile()` with the modern throwing `FileHandle(forWritingTo:)`, `handle.seekToEnd()`, and `handle.write(contentsOf:)` in `AppLogStore`. ([AppLogStore.swift](BusyMirror/AppLogStore.swift))
+- **Cleanup jumps calendar picker**: `runCleanupForRoute` was mutating `sourceIndex`, `sourceID`, and `targetIDs` during route cleanup, visibly shifting the picker in the UI. Cleanup does not need to update the UI selection; those mutations are removed.
+- **`--exit` flag redundancy**: `NSApp.terminate` was called whenever `isCLIRun` was true, making `--exit` a no-op. The app now exits only when `--exit` is explicitly passed, so `--routes` / `--run-saved-routes` can be used without forcing termination.
+
+### Added
+- **Live calendar refresh**: the calendar list now updates automatically when the system calendar database changes (`EKEventStoreChanged` notification), removing the need to press "Refresh Calendars" after adding or removing a calendar. The observer is unregistered on view disappear and re-registered when the `EKEventStore` is recreated. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+### Changed
+- **`AppLogStore` extracted**: moved from an inline private enum in `ContentView.swift` to its own file `AppLogStore.swift` for easier navigation. ([AppLogStore.swift](BusyMirror/AppLogStore.swift))
+- **`Block.span` factory**: added `Block.span(start:end:)` to replace the repetitive `Block(start:end:srcStableID:nil:label:nil:notes:nil:occurrence:nil)` construction pattern throughout `BlockMath.swift` and `MirrorEngine.swift`. ([BlockMath.swift](BusyMirror/BlockMath.swift))
+- **Removed redundant `MainActor.run` wrappers**: `MirrorEngine` is `@MainActor`; wrapping `store.save` / `store.remove` in `try await MainActor.run { }` was unnecessary and added overhead. ([MirrorEngine.swift](BusyMirror/MirrorEngine.swift))
+- **`SettingsPayload` indentation**: the nested struct was de-dented to column 0 inside `ContentView`, making it look like a top-level type. Indentation is now consistent with the surrounding members.
+
+### Build
+- Bump version to **1.5.1** (build **20**).
+
+## [1.5.0] - 2026-05-27
+
+### Removed
+- **Mark Private feature**: removed the non-functional server-side "Private" flagging for mirrored events. The Objective-C runtime hack (`setPrivate:`, KVC on `sensitivity`/`classification`) never worked reliably and would have blocked App Store review. This simplifies the UI and removes a private-API liability.
+
+### Changed
+- **Extracted mirror engine**: the ~500-line `runMirror` and `runCleanup` logic has been moved from `ContentView.swift` into a new `MirrorEngine.swift` class. `ContentView` now delegates to the engine via `makeEngine()`.
+- `MirrorRecord`, mirror index persistence, and `SAME_TIME_TOL_MIN` now live in the engine module.
+- `calLabel` moved to `MirrorUtils.swift` so it can be shared between UI and engine.
+
+### Build
+- Bump version to **1.5.0** (build **19**).
+
+## [1.4.0] - 2026-05-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Sandbox LaunchAgent**: added `temporary-exception` entitlement so scheduled runs work in the sandboxed app.
+- **Mirror URL generation**: `buildMirrorURL` was silently broken — `URL(string:)` rejects raw `|` characters on current macOS, so mirror metadata URLs were always `nil`. Rebuilt with `URLComponents` using `;` separator and backward-compatible parser.
+- **Crash on Cleanup**: `runCleanup()` no longer crashes if the selected source calendar was removed.
+- **State corruption in multi-route runs**: `runConfiguredRoutes` no longer mutates global `@State` settings and restores them at the end of each loop; instead it passes a `MirrorConfig` struct into the engine.
+- **KVC safety**: removed misleading `do-catch` around `setValue:forKey:` in `setEventPrivateIfSupported()` (Objective-C exceptions are uncatchable in Swift).
+- **Log memory leak**: in-memory log now caps at 2,000 lines.
+- **CLI race**: `tryRunCLIIfPresent()` now preloads calendars when access is already granted, eliminating the 10-second timeout race.
+- **launchCtl output**: stdout and stderr now use separate pipes instead of interleaving into one.
+
+### Added
+- **Cancel button**: long-running mirrors now show a Cancel button; loops check `Task.isCancelled` for responsive cancellation.
+- **Progress indicator**: multi-route runs display `"Route X of Y"` in the status area.
+- **Unit tests**: 45 tests across `BlockMathTests`, `MirrorUtilsTests`, and `EventFiltersTests`.
+- **Extracted modules**: `BlockMath.swift`, `MirrorUtils.swift`, `EventFilters.swift`, and `MirrorConfig.swift` separate pure logic from the UI monolith.
+- **Target event cache**: target calendars shared across routes are fetched only once per run session.
+
+### Changed
+- `mergeGapMin` is now a computed property instead of redundant `@State`.
+- Log editor is now read-only (still selectable/copyable).
+- `SettingsPayload.excludedOrganizerFilters` is now non-optional for consistency.
+
+### Build
+- Bump minimum macOS version to `15.5` in `Info.plist`.
+- Bump version to **1.4.0** (build **18**).
+
+## [1.3.9] - 2026-04-09
+- New: add a macOS menu bar extra with `Sync Now`, `Open BusyMirror`, and `Quit BusyMirror`.
+- UX: menu bar sync requests reuse the existing mirror flow and can open the main window automatically when needed.
+- UX: BusyMirror now runs as a menu bar-only app and no longer appears in the Dock.
+- Build: bump version to 1.3.9 (build 17).
+
+## [1.3.8] - 2026-04-08
+- Fix: release ZIPs now package `BusyMirror.app` at the archive root instead of embedding the full build path.
+- Fix: release builds now apply an ad-hoc bundle signature before packaging so downloaded artifacts pass `codesign --verify --deep --strict`.
+- Build: suppress resource fork sidecars in release ZIPs via `ditto --norsrc --keepParent`.
+- Build: bump version to 1.3.8 (build 16).
+
+## [1.3.7] - 2026-03-24
+- Fix: mirror reconciliation now survives target providers that strip BusyMirror's custom event URL metadata.
+- Fix: moved and deleted source events are tracked via stable EventKit identifiers and a persisted local mirror index, so target placeholders update reliably.
+- Fix: mirror updates now detect title and notes changes, not just start/end time changes.
+- Build: bump version to 1.3.7 (build 15).
+
+## [1.3.6] - 2026-03-13
+- Scheduling: add in-app `Scheduled runs` controls to install or remove a user `launchd` LaunchAgent from BusyMirror itself.
+- Scheduling: support `Hourly`, `Daily`, and `Weekdays` schedules; hourly mode runs saved routes via `StartInterval`.
+- UX: generate and ship a proper macOS app icon set for BusyMirror.
+- Build: bump version to 1.3.6 (build 14).
+
+## [1.3.4] - 2026-03-13
+- Fix: route-scoped cleanup no longer deletes placeholders created by other source routes during the same multi-route run.
+- Fix: stale calendars are pruned from saved selections and routes during refresh, and refresh now recreates `EKEventStore` for a hard reload.
+- UX: the top bar `DRY RUN` / `WRITE` status pill is clickable, the left column keeps its own height on desktop, and the app can reveal its log file from the UI.
+- Logging: mirror activity is persisted to `~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/BusyMirror.log` with simple rotation to `BusyMirror.previous.log`.
+- CLI: add `--run-saved-routes` so scheduled `launchd` runs can use the saved UI routes instead of fragile index-based route definitions.
+
+## [1.3.1] - 2025-10-13
+- Fix: auto-delete of mirrored placeholders when the source is removed now works even if no source instances remain in the window. Also cleans legacy mirrors without URLs by matching exact times.
+
+## [1.3.2] - 2025-10-13
+- New: Organizer filters — skip events by organizer (name/email/URL). UI under Options and persisted in settings.
+- CLI: add `--exclude-organizers` (and `--exclude-titles`) flags to control filters when running headless.
+
 ## [1.2.4] - 2025-10-10
 - Fix: enable “Mirror Now” when Routes are defined even if no Source/Targets are checked in the main window. Button now enables if either routes exist or a manual selection is present.
 
+## [1.3.0] - 2025-10-10
+- New: Mark Private option to mirror with prefix + real title and set event privacy on supported servers; available globally and per-route; persisted.
+- Misc: calendar access fixes, concurrency annotations, accepted‑only filter, settings autosave/restore, Mirror Now enablement.
+
 ## [1.2.3] - 2025-10-10
 - Fix: reliably save and restore settings between runs via autosave of key options and restoration of source/target selections by persistent IDs.
 - UX: persist Source and Target selections; rebuild indices on launch so UI matches saved IDs.

 BusyMirror mirrors meetings between your calendars so your availability stays consistent across accounts/devices.
 
-## What it does (current checkpoint)
-- Manual “Run” to mirror events across selected routes (Source → Targets).
-- DRY-RUN mode shows what would happen.
-- Prefix-based tagging of mirrored events.
-- Cleanup of placeholders (with confirmation).
-- Loop/duplicate guards so mirrors don’t replicate themselves.
-- Time window and merge-gap settings.
+On macOS, BusyMirror runs as a standard app (Dock icon, ⌘Q to quit) and also has a menu bar icon for quick sync/status without opening the main window.
+
+## What it does (current)
+- Route-driven mirroring (multi-source): define Source → Targets routes and run them in one go.
+- Manual selection mirroring: pick a source and targets in the UI and run.
+- Two privacy modes:
+  - Private (hide details): mirrors placeholders with prefix + placeholder title (e.g., "🪞 Busy").
+  - Mark Private: mirrors prefix + real title, but marks events Private on supported servers (best-effort).
+- DRY-RUN mode: see what would be created/updated/deleted without writing.
+- Activity Log in the app plus persistent file logging on disk.
+- In-app scheduling: install or remove a `launchd` LaunchAgent from the `Scheduled runs` section.
+- Menu bar controls: trigger `Sync Now`, open the main window, open Preferences, or quit.
+- Overlap modes: `allow`, `skipCovered`, `fillGaps`.
+- Merge adjacent events with a configurable gap.
+- Time window controls (days back/forward) and Work Hours filter.
+- Accepted-only filter (mirror your accepted meetings only).
+- Cleanup of placeholders, including auto-delete of mirrors whose source disappeared.
+- Refresh Calendars prunes stale saved calendars and routes when calendars are removed from the system.
+- Prefix-based tagging and loop guards to prevent re-mirroring mirrors.
+- Settings: autosave/restore, Import/Export JSON, saved routes for scheduled/headless runs.
 
 ## Why
 Use one calendar’s confirmed meetings to block time in other calendars (e.g., corporate iPad vs. personal devices).
@@ -27,6 +40,37 @@ Option B — Makefile (reproducible)
 
 See `CHANGELOG.md` for notable changes.
 
+## CLI (optional)
+- Run from Terminal with `--routes` to mirror without the UI. Example:
+  - `BusyMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/BusyMirror --routes "1->2,3; 4->5" --write 1 --days-forward 7 --mode allow --exit`
+- Run the routes already saved in the app settings:
+  - `BusyMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/BusyMirror --run-saved-routes --write 1 --exit`
+- `--help` prints full flag documentation.
+- `--list-calendars [--json]` prints available calendars (index, id, title, source/type) and exits.
+- `--status [--json]` prints last-run time/result, schedule state, and saved-route count and exits.
+- Flags exist for privacy, all-day, merge gap, days window, overlap mode, cleanup, and filters.
+- Filters:
+  - `--exclude-titles "token1, token2"`
+  - `--exclude-organizers "alice@example.com, Example Org"`
+  - Tokens are comma or newline separated; matching is case-insensitive.
+- Exit codes: `0` success, `2` no calendar access, `3` no saved routes (with `--run-saved-routes`).
+
+## Logs
+- BusyMirror now writes a persistent log file to `~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/BusyMirror.log`.
+- When the file grows large, the previous file is rotated to `~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/BusyMirror.previous.log`.
+- `launchd` stdout/stderr for scheduled runs are also written in the same folder.
+- In the UI, use `Reveal Log File` to open the current log directly in Finder.
+
+## Scheduling
+- BusyMirror can create its own schedule from the app UI in `Scheduled runs`.
+- Choose `Hourly`, `Daily`, or `Weekdays`, then click `Install Schedule`.
+- The installed LaunchAgent runs:
+  - `/Applications/BusyMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/BusyMirror --run-saved-routes --write 1 --exit`
+- This is more stable than index-based `--routes`, because it uses the routes and per-route options you already configured in the UI.
+- Hourly schedules use `launchd` `StartInterval`; daily and weekday schedules use `StartCalendarInterval`.
+- You can remove the job from the same UI with `Remove Schedule`, and inspect the generated plist with `Reveal LaunchAgent`.
+- Note: scheduled headless runs depend on Calendar permission being granted to the installed app. Because these local builds are unsigned, macOS may require re-granting permission after replacing the app bundle with a new build.

-- Mirror only **Accepted** meetings (exclude tentative/declined)
-- Persistent settings (routes, window, prefix)
-- Import/Export settings (.busymirror.json)
+## Shipped (highlights)
+- Route-driven mirroring (multi-source)
+- Accepted-only filter (mirror your accepted meetings)
+- Persistent settings with autosave/restore; Import/Export JSON
+- Overlap modes (allow, skipCovered, fillGaps) and merge-gap
+- Work Hours filter and title-based skip filters
+- Privacy: placeholders with prefix + customizable title
+- 1.3.0: Mark Private option (global + per-route)
+- 1.3.4: persistent file logging, stale-calendar pruning on refresh, clickable top-bar mode toggle
+- 1.3.6: in-app scheduling via `launchd` with hourly/daily/weekday modes
+- 1.3.6: generated macOS app icon set and packaged release assets
+- 1.4.0: unit-test suite (45 tests), Cancel button, progress indicator, sandbox LaunchAgent fix, mirror URL fix, engine refactor into `MirrorConfig`
+- CLI diagnostics: `--help`, `--list-calendars [--json]`, `--status [--json]`, real exit codes (2 = no access, 3 = no saved routes), last-run tracking (time/ok/summary)
+- 1.7.0: **Event-driven background sync**, replacing the hourly `launchd StartInterval` poll. Auto-sync logic lives in `BusyMirrorAppController` (an app-lifetime object, not tied to `ContentView`'s window lifecycle — closing the main window used to tear down the `EKEventStoreChanged` observer along with it, which would have made auto-sync a no-op whenever the window was closed). Once saved routes exist: registers as a login item (`SMAppService.mainApp`), removes any old `launchd` schedule, watches `EKEventStoreChanged` (debounced ~3s) and `NSWorkspace.didWakeNotification`, plus a 30-min fallback timer as a safety net. Auto-sync always writes (`writeEnabled: true`), independent of the interactive dry-run toggle.
+- 1.8.0: **V2 UI polish.** `ContentView.swift` split from ~2000 lines into focused view files — `CalendarsSectionView`, `RoutesSectionView`, `ScheduleSectionView`, `LogSectionView` (state stays owned by `ContentView`/`@AppStorage`; these are view-layer extractions, not a full MVVM rewrite — the settings-persistence model didn't need touching and touching it is exactly how the 1.6.0/1.6.1 data-loss bug happened). A preferences window hosting the pure `@AppStorage`-backed defaults (time window, privacy/mirroring defaults, work hours, skip filters) that used to live in the main window; this surfaced a latent bug — moving fields out of `ContentView` meant they stopped re-triggering `saveSettingsToDefaults()`, so on next launch `applySnapshot` would have silently reverted a preference changed in the new window using the stale blob. Fixed by splitting launch-time restore (`restoreLaunchState`, routes/selections only, since @AppStorage fields already self-restore) from Import's full restore (`applySnapshot`, unchanged). Menu bar icon now reflects idle/syncing/error state, and the dropdown shows last-sync time/result and whether auto-sync is armed.
+- 1.8.1: the preferences window (originally a `Settings{}` scene) didn't actually open — `LSUIElement` apps get no standard app menu, so Cmd+,/`SettingsLink` had no menu to hook into. Replaced with a plain `Window` opened via `openWindow(id:)`, plus a "Preferences…" menu bar item as a second entry point.
+- 1.8.2: **standard app, not menu-bar-only.** Removed `LSUIElement` — Dock icon, Cmd+Tab, standard app menu (Cmd+Q) are back. The accessory-app design (no Dock icon) turned out to make the app hard to quit reliably, which blocked replacing the bundle during updates. Menu bar extra stays as a secondary quick-access point.
+- 1.8.3: restored the real `Settings{}` scene for Preferences now that the app menu exists to host it (1.8.1's `Window`+`openWindow` workaround was never swapped back after 1.8.2 removed `LSUIElement`) — Cmd+, and the app's own "Preferences…" menu item work again, not just a button and a menu-bar-dropdown item.
+- 1.9.0: **sidebar-navigation redesign** (Routes / Schedule / Activity Log via `NavigationSplitView`, toolbar actions, collapsed-by-default route list, structured log view, refreshed menu bar) — explored as a mockup first, direction confirmed before implementing. Also fixed a real bug the redesign work surfaced: routes were being silently dropped on most launches (a freshly-created `EKEventStore` right after a permission grant can under-report calendars for a moment, especially remote accounts, so pruning against it wrongly deleted routes referencing calendars that were actually still there) — only ever recovered by a legacy backup key that was itself frozen at its first-ever value. Fixed the prune timing and made the backup stay current.
 
-## Then
-- iOS/iPadOS app (Run Now, Shortcuts, iCloud sync)
-- UI: route editor & clearer toggles
-- “Dry-run by default” preference
+## Next
+1. **MCP server (thin external wrapper, not embedded in the app).** So agents driving BusyMirror don't have to shell out to the CLI and regex-parse log lines. A small standalone stdio-transport script (Node/Python) maps MCP tools 1:1 onto the CLI's `--json` output: `list_calendars`, `list_routes`, `run_route`, `run_saved_routes`, `get_status`. Deliberately kept out of the Swift app itself — no MCP SDK dependency in the signed binary (AGENTS.md's zero-external-packages rule stays intact), and MCP hosts spawn server processes on demand anyway, so there's no need for the app to run one persistently.
+2. **Better server-side privacy mapping (per-provider heuristics).**
 
 ## Later
-- Background monitoring (macOS)
-- Smarter cleanup & conflict resolution
-- Profiles & MDM/Managed Config support
+- Signed/notarized binaries and release pipeline.
+- Smarter cleanup & conflict resolution.
+- iOS/iPadOS helper (Shortcuts integration).
+- Profiles & MDM/Managed Config support.
+
+## Decided against
+- **Direct Google/CalDAV/Exchange API integration** (OAuth flows, token storage, per-provider clients so BusyMirror can mirror a non-local calendar without it being added to macOS). EventKit already surfaces any calendar added via System Settings → Internet Accounts — macOS does the sync, auth, and refresh. Building a parallel integration would duplicate the OS for the narrow case of an account that can't or won't be added system-wide (e.g. MDM-restricted work accounts). Not worth the OAuth/Keychain/per-provider-quirk surface for that.

+# BusyMirror 1.5.1
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- **Mirror index written on every sync** — `MirrorRecord`'s synthesized equality check included an `updatedAt` timestamp that is always set to the current date when a record is constructed. This meant every sync run marked the index as dirty and rewrote it to `UserDefaults`, even when no mirror events changed. Fixed with a custom `==` that ignores `updatedAt`.
+
+- **Mirror URLs corrupted by special characters in calendar IDs** — Calendar and source IDs placed into the `mirror://` URL were not percent-encoded before joining with `;`. An ID containing `;` would cause the URL to be mis-parsed on the next sync, potentially losing the link between a placeholder and its source event. IDs are now encoded with `mirrorURLComponentEncode` (already present and tested since 1.4.0) and the URL path is assigned via `percentEncodedPath` to prevent double-encoding.
+
+- **Calendar picker jumped during route cleanup** — Running "Cleanup Placeholders" over saved routes changed the source/target picker selection for each route. Cleanup no longer mutates the UI selection.
+
+- **`--exit` flag was always implied** — Using `--routes` or `--run-saved-routes` always terminated the app, making `--exit` redundant. The app now exits only when `--exit` is explicitly passed.
+
+## Improvements
+
+- **Live calendar refresh** — The calendar list now updates automatically when the system calendar database changes (new account added, calendar renamed, etc.), without requiring a manual "Refresh Calendars" press.
+
+- `AppLogStore` extracted into its own file; deprecated `FileHandle` API replaced with the modern throwing variant.
+
+- `Block.span(start:end:)` convenience factory added to `BlockMath`, eliminating repetitive nil-field construction.
+
+- Redundant `MainActor.run {}` wrappers removed from `MirrorEngine` (already running on `@MainActor`).
