# Runtime and Components

The diagram below focuses on the deployed `galaxy/mail` process and its runtime
dependencies.

## Listener

`mail` exposes exactly one HTTP listener:

| Listener | Default addr | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Internal HTTP | `:8080` | Trusted intake, operator reads, and resend |

Shared listener defaults:

- read-header timeout: `2s`
- read timeout: `10s`
- idle timeout: `1m`

Intentional omissions:

- no public listener
- no `/healthz`
- no `/readyz`
- no `/metrics`

## Startup Wiring

`cmd/mail` loads config, constructs logging, and builds the runtime through
`internal/app.NewRuntime`.

The runtime wires:

- Redis clients for state access and blocking stream consumption
- filesystem-backed template catalog
- provider adapter selected by `MAIL_SMTP_MODE`
- acceptance, render, execution, operator-read, and resend services
- internal HTTP server
- command consumer
- scheduler
- attempt worker pool
- cleanup worker

Before startup completes, the process performs bounded `PING` checks for both
Redis clients and validates the template catalog. Startup fails fast on invalid
configuration or unavailable Redis.

## Background Components

### Command consumer

- reads one plain `XREAD` stream
- starts from stored offset or `0-0`
- advances offset only after durable command acceptance or durable malformed
  command recording

### Scheduler

- polls due work every `250ms`
- recovers stale claims every `30s`
- derives recovery deadline from `MAIL_SMTP_TIMEOUT + 30s`

### Attempt worker pool

- processes only already claimed work items
- concurrency is controlled by `MAIL_ATTEMPT_WORKER_CONCURRENCY`

### Cleanup worker

- removes stale delivery-index members after primary delivery expiry
- does not clean `mail:attempt_schedule`
- does not clean malformed-command index entries

## Configuration Groups

Required for all starts:

- `MAIL_REDIS_ADDR`

Core process config:

- `MAIL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_LOG_LEVEL`

Internal HTTP config:

- `MAIL_INTERNAL_HTTP_ADDR`
- `MAIL_INTERNAL_HTTP_READ_HEADER_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_INTERNAL_HTTP_READ_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_INTERNAL_HTTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT`

Redis connectivity:

- `MAIL_REDIS_USERNAME`
- `MAIL_REDIS_PASSWORD`
- `MAIL_REDIS_DB`
- `MAIL_REDIS_TLS_ENABLED`
- `MAIL_REDIS_OPERATION_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_REDIS_COMMAND_STREAM`
- `MAIL_REDIS_ATTEMPT_SCHEDULE_KEY`
- `MAIL_REDIS_DEAD_LETTER_PREFIX`

SMTP provider:

- `MAIL_SMTP_MODE`
- `MAIL_SMTP_ADDR`
- `MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME`
- `MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD`
- `MAIL_SMTP_FROM_EMAIL`
- `MAIL_SMTP_FROM_NAME`
- `MAIL_SMTP_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_SMTP_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY`

Templates and workers:

- `MAIL_TEMPLATE_DIR`
- `MAIL_ATTEMPT_WORKER_CONCURRENCY`
- `MAIL_STREAM_BLOCK_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_OPERATOR_REQUEST_TIMEOUT`
- `MAIL_IDEMPOTENCY_TTL`
- `MAIL_DELIVERY_TTL`
- `MAIL_ATTEMPT_TTL`

Telemetry:

- `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME`
- `OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER`
- `OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER`
- `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL`
- `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL`
- `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_PROTOCOL`
- `MAIL_OTEL_STDOUT_TRACES_ENABLED`
- `MAIL_OTEL_STDOUT_METRICS_ENABLED`

## Runtime Notes

- `MAIL_REDIS_COMMAND_STREAM` is the only Redis key override that currently
  changes runtime behavior
- `MAIL_SMTP_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY` is a local-development escape hatch for
  self-signed SMTP capture only and should remain disabled in production
- attempt-schedule and dead-letter key overrides are parsed but not yet wired
  into Redis adapters
- retention overrides are parsed but storage still uses the fixed `7d`, `30d`,
  and `90d` values
- template catalog parsing is eager and immutable
- auth deliveries in `MAIL_SMTP_MODE=stub` surface as `suppressed`
- auth deliveries in `MAIL_SMTP_MODE=smtp` surface as `queued` and later move
  through normal attempt execution
