* fix(email): route Intelligence Brief off the alerts@ mailbox The daily "WorldMonitor Intelligence Brief" email was shipping from `alerts@worldmonitor.app` with a display name that — if the Railway env override dropped the `Name <…>` wrapper — Gmail/Outlook fell back to rendering the local-part ("alerts" / "alert") as the sender name. Recipients saw a scary-looking "alert" in their inbox for what is actually a curated editorial read. Split the sender so editorial mail can't share the `alerts@` mailbox with incident pushes: - New env var `RESEND_FROM_BRIEF` (default `WorldMonitor Brief <brief@worldmonitor.app>`) consumed by seed-digest-notifications.mjs. - Falls back to `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL`, then to the built-in default, so existing deploys keep working and the rollout is a single Railway env flip on the digest service. - notification-relay.cjs (realtime push alerts) intentionally keeps `RESEND_FROM_EMAIL` / `alerts@` — accurate for that path. - .env.example documents the display-name rule so the bare-address trap can't re-introduce the bug. Rollout: set `RESEND_FROM_BRIEF=WorldMonitor Brief <brief@worldmonitor.app>` on the `seed-digest-notifications` Railway service. Domain-level Resend verification already covers the new local-part; no DNS change needed. * fix(email): runtime normalize sender to prevent bare-address regression PR review feedback from codex: > P2 — RESEND_FROM_BRIEF is consumed verbatim, so an operator can > still set brief@worldmonitor.app without a display name and > recreate the same Gmail/Outlook rendering bug for the daily brief. > Today that protection is only documentation in .env.example, not > runtime enforcement. Add a small shared helper `scripts/lib/resend-from.cjs` that coerces a bare email address into a "Name <addr>" wrapper with a loud warning log, and wire it into the digest path. - Bare-address input (e.g. `brief@worldmonitor.app`) is rewritten to `WorldMonitor Brief <brief@worldmonitor.app>` so Gmail/Outlook stop falling back to the local-part as the display name. - Coercion emits a single `console.warn` line per boot so operators see the signal in Railway logs and can fix the underlying env. - Fail-safe (not fail-closed) — a misconfigured env does NOT take the cron down. Also resolves the P3 doc-vs-runtime divergence by reverting .env.example's RESEND_FROM_EMAIL default from "WorldMonitor Alerts <...>" back to "WorldMonitor <...>" to match the existing notification-relay.cjs runtime default. The realtime-alert path will get the same normalizer treatment in a follow-up PR that cohesively touches notification-relay.cjs + Dockerfile.relay. tests: 7 new cases in tests/resend-sender-normalize.test.mjs covering empty/null/whitespace input, wrapped passthrough, trim, bare-address coercion, warning emission, no-warning on wrapped, console.warn default sink. Runs under `npm run test:data`.
