🛠️ Recommended Execution Playbook

1. Convert actionable emails into Todo tasks when execution spans beyond a single reply cycle.
2. Create calendar events directly from email context for time-bound commitments.
3. Use mailbox and folder context to keep customer-facing and internal follow-up streams separated.
4. Use starred markers to track open commitments until task or meeting completion is confirmed.
5. Close the loop in-thread so every responder can see final status without side-channel updates.
