docs: hand over a paste-ready body in creating-release-vote-mail - #1837
Merged
Conversation
Gmail's linkifier rewrites URLs server-side as the draft is stored, so the four link lines in the 6.11.0 vote draft arrived wrapped in https://www.google.com/url?q=...&source=gmail&ust=... and the 72-column wrap was reflowed. All three ways of passing the body through the Gmail tool were tested and all are rewritten; body-only is the least-bad, and supplying htmlBody is worse (HTML-only mail, or a plain part whose visible text is the wrapped URL). Record the constraint and make the workaround structural: the skill now produces the draft *and* a file with the exact body, so the release manager fixes it with one select-all-paste instead of hand-editing four URLs. Also flag re-running the draft-update tool on an already-corrected draft, which re-mangles it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow-up from the 6.11.0 vote drafting run.
Problem
Gmail's linkifier rewrites URLs server-side as the draft is stored. The four link lines in the 6.11.0 vote draft came out as:
and the 72-column hard wrap was reflowed. The release manager had to hand-edit all four URLs.
What was tested
All three ways of passing the body through the Gmail tool are rewritten — there is no argument combination that avoids it:
bodyonlybare-url <google.com/url?q=…>htmlBodyonlybodyonly — what the skill already produced — is the least-bad of the three.Change
Since the mangling can't be prevented, the fix is made structural rather than left as advice:
Draft it, do not send itinstruction, the pre-draft checklist, and the template's hard-wrap note, so it sits in the steps already being followed rather than only in prose.Docs/process only; no ticket, consistent with #1826, #1828 and #1836.
