- Sync reminders: new "Sync reminders when mirroring" option (global and per-route) copies source event alarms into mirrored placeholders. CLI flag --sync-reminders. - CLI polish: --help, --list-calendars, --status (all support --json). Scheduled/headless runs record last-run time/result/summary. Failure paths now exit with distinct nonzero codes (2 = no calendar access, 3 = no saved routes) instead of always exiting 0. - Fix settings silently wiped on upgrade: SettingsPayload's auto-synthesized Codable threw on any settings blob missing a field added since (e.g. the new syncReminders key), failing the whole decode and letting the next autosave persist an empty state over real routes/filters. Custom decode now falls back per-field like Route already did, and loadSettingsFromDefaults recovers routes from the legacy routes.v1 key if settings.v2 comes back empty, repairing installs already hit by this. - Roadmap: event-driven background sync (SMAppService + EKEventStoreChanged + wake notification) and an external MCP wrapper around the CLI queued next; decided against direct Google/CalDAV API integration since EventKit already covers it via System Settings accounts. All 47 unit tests pass (45 existing + 2 new SettingsPayloadTests). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# BusyMirror Roadmap
|
|
|
|
## 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`
|
|
- Calendar list already auto-refreshes on `EKEventStoreChanged` (does not yet trigger an auto-sync — see Next)
|
|
- CLI diagnostics: `--help`, `--list-calendars [--json]`, `--status [--json]`, real exit codes (2 = no access, 3 = no saved routes), last-run tracking (time/ok/summary)
|
|
|
|
## Next — reliability (V2 groundwork)
|
|
1. **Event-driven background sync.** The existing hourly `launchd StartInterval` only fires while the Mac happens to be awake at that instant and gets throttled/coalesced by macOS, so it's not reliable. Replace polling with reacting:
|
|
- Keep the app running as a login item via `SMAppService.agent` instead of relying on launchd to relaunch it.
|
|
- Extend the existing `EKEventStoreChanged` observer (today it only reloads the calendar list) to also trigger a debounced (~2-5s) auto-sync of saved routes.
|
|
- Add an `NSWorkspace.didWakeNotification` handler to resync after sleep.
|
|
- Keep one coarse fallback timer (e.g. every 30 min) purely as a safety net for a missed notification — not the primary mechanism.
|
|
- `launchd`'s remaining job shrinks to "make sure the app is running," which `SMAppService` likely covers, so the plist-generation code may become unnecessary.
|
|
2. **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.
|
|
|
|
## Then — V2 UI polish
|
|
- Split `ContentView.swift` (~1800 lines doing UI + settings + CLI + scheduling) into per-section view models (Routes, Schedule, Privacy, Log) so views are small and native-feeling.
|
|
- Real `Settings { }` scene instead of the main window doubling as preferences.
|
|
- Menu bar icon reflects state (idle / syncing / error) instead of a static icon.
|
|
- Surface last-sync-time / last-error / next-check in the menu bar UI — the data now exists (`--status`'s `lastRunAtISO`/`lastRunOK`/`lastRunSummary`), this is just wiring it into the menu.
|
|
- Better server-side privacy mapping (per-provider heuristics).
|
|
|
|
## Later
|
|
- 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.
