Briefs starts with neutral, editable prompts and schedules in the local timezone. Setup and collection documentation explain the required plugins, Gmail reading modes, and interrupted-run recovery.

• Required plugins: Automations, Browser Automation, and Thread Organizer with additional inbox support.
• Synthetic tests cover mixed read/unread messages, restoration failures, interrupted scheduled runs, and journal recovery.
• New starters have no personal interests, sender exclusions, or brand-specific classification.
• New schedules use the browser timezone in Settings and the server system timezone during CLI setup. Saved prompts and schedules survive setup and editing.
• Version 0.1.1 covers these behavior changes; new listings will track digests/v0.1.1 through version tags.

Verification

• Briefs CI passed typechecking, building, artifact validation, and all 118 tests, including setup preservation and timezone editing.
• Full CI passed, including catalog hygiene, persisted SDK compatibility, install-ref validation, and the aggregate gate.
• The latest local plugin/digests artifact passed isolated layout checks in Chrome for Testing 155 at desktop and narrow widths.
• Screenshot capture and catalog image repair are complete below. No personal mailbox, browser session, or account was used.

Gmail actions remain agent-driven: synthetic fixtures verify journal contracts and recovery, not current live Gmail UI compatibility. No tags or install refs were pushed.

The current bb manifest schema has no cross-plugin dependency field; requirements are documented rather than inventing manifest keys.

Summary titles retain usable width beside long context and deadlines. In the isolated app, a 638px card gives the title 291px; metadata stacks at 444px and 340px. Both actions fit, and hard reload passes. DOM tests preserve content and action destinations; browser measurements verify layout.

The optional disabled-plugin wording is deferred: distinguishing disabled Browser Automation from an unreachable browser requires error-state plumbing.

Screenshots needed

• Long metadata at desktop and narrow card widths: seed the brief as below, replacing its first item with the synthetic workshop item in app.test.tsx ("keeps a card's title, long context, deadline and both source actions"). Capture a 638px card and a card below 448px wide; retain the full context, deadline, and both buttons.

• Brief thread with a visual summary: use plugins/digests/fixtures/brief.json and brief.md; define the disabled publish-only fixture and publish it into an isolated fixture thread. Render the returned directive with the real plugin. Capture the priority, source button, counts, and routine section.

• Settings/setup: use plugins/digests/fixtures/definition.json and the synthetic connection responses described in fixtures/README.md. Capture the named brief, schedule, prompt, and After reading selector; an empty setup state may show import guidance. Never authenticate a real browser.

Detailed seeding steps are in plugins/digests/fixtures/README.md. The assigned screenshot worker owns capture and image references. The assigned worker has added all three captures below and restored catalog image coverage.

Screenshots

Before: main 0cd4457, described in text (the plugin README image no longer loads, and the catalog image is not a synthetic capture) · After: 0cfcfa5 (brief thread recaptured on c9d2847's card layout; both settings images re-checked and unchanged) · Captured at 2× from an isolated bb (get-bb/bb main 46da8461) with this PR's build installed from source. The brief was published from fixtures/brief.json through bb digest publish and rendered by the real Briefs message renderer. Settings use the stubbed overview, checkSettingsConnections and executionOptions responses from fixtures/README.md; no browser was signed in.

This commit also adds docs to the package files so the README images ship with the plugin (the repository hygiene check requires it).
