The one universal channel that's absent: you have chat, push, SMS, and webhooks, but not plain email — the lowest-friction way to loop in a non-technical household member or an archival inbox. Drops cleanly into the one-file-per-notifier pattern (confirmed: no smtp/mailer code exists — the only email references are the OIDC user-email claim). Missed because the owner lives in Discord/Matrix/push. Effort S, value High.

Filed from the 2026-07-17 codebase audit (docs/.internal/report-2026-07-17.md), finding I-10.

Done in #101 (merged). New email channel type (migration 0021, ALTER TYPE channeltype ADD VALUE) with an SMTP notifier built through the shared formatter, sending via stdlib smtplib offloaded with asyncio.to_thread. SMTP failures classify into the Transient/Permanent DeliveryError taxonomy so the outbox retries them; recipient addresses are redacted for non-managers. EmailConfig validation + a recipients field in the channels UI. Global SMTP_* settings (blank SMTP_HOST disables it).
