<objective>
Build the event-driven drain signal mechanism: a zero-dependency in-process `EventEmitter` (`outboxTrigger.ts`) and the `scheduleOutboxDrain` scheduler wrapper in `outboxWorker.ts` that funnels signals through the existing `isDraining`-guarded `runOutboxDrain()` with a `drainRequested` trailing-re-drain loop (D-05). Prove SC-1, SC-4, and D-05 with automated trigger-wiring tests (D-09).
Purpose: Removes the up-to-15s queueing delay before the CalDAV round-trip by signalling the drain on enqueue, while preserving every outbox durability guarantee — `runOutboxDrain`'s internals and the `isDraining` guard stay behaviorally unchanged (CAL-15 / D-02 / D-07).
Output: `outboxTrigger.ts` (new), the `scheduleOutboxDrain` + `drainRequested` + `initOutboxTrigger` additions to `outboxWorker.ts`, and a new trigger-wiring describe block in `outboxWorker.test.ts`.

- apps/api/src/lib/outboxTrigger.ts (the file being created — confirm it does not yet exist)
- apps/api/src/lib/listEmitter.ts (canonical analog: module-level `const emitter = new EventEmitter()`, named publish/subscribe wrappers, zero internal imports)
</read_first>
<behavior>
- signalOutboxDrain() emits the 'drain' event on the module-level emitter (synchronous; fire-and-forget; returns void)
- onOutboxDrain(handler) registers handler on 'drain' and returns an unsubscribe function that calls emitter.off('drain', handler)
- A handler registered via onOutboxDrain is invoked exactly once per signalOutboxDrain() call
- After the returned unsubscribe is called, a subsequent signalOutboxDrain() does NOT invoke the handler
</behavior>
<action>
Create `apps/api/src/lib/outboxTrigger.ts` following the `listEmitter.ts` module-level singleton pattern exactly. Import `EventEmitter` from `node:events`. Declare `const emitter = new EventEmitter();` at module scope. Do NOT call `setMaxListeners` — there is exactly one subscriber (the `initOutboxTrigger` listener), so the default limit of 10 is correct (unlike `listEmitter.ts` which sets 200 for SSE fan-out per its T-04-04 comment). Export `signalOutboxDrain(): void` that calls `emitter.emit('drain')` (fire-and-forget per D-04). Export `onOutboxDrain(handler: () => void): () => void` that calls `emitter.on('drain', handler)` and returns `() => emitter.off('drain', handler)`. This module MUST import nothing from `broker/`, `routes/`, `db/`, or `index.ts` — only `node:events` — to guarantee no circular import (same zero-internal-dependency rule as `listEmitter.ts`). Add a header comment noting: single subscriber, default listener limit fine, signal is fire-and-forget, published only after enqueue commit (D-01/D-03/D-04).

- apps/api/src/lib/outboxTrigger.ts (created in Task 1 — import `signalOutboxDrain` from here)
- apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts (the module under test — `runOutboxDrain` already exported; `scheduleOutboxDrain` will be added in Task 3 and must be imported here in RED so the test fails on the missing export)
- apps/api/tests/lib/listEmitter.test.ts (analog for `vi.fn()` handler + unsubscribe test shape)
</read_first>
<behavior>
- Test A (SC-1): with one pending row and `createCalendarEvent` mocked to resolve 201, calling `signalOutboxDrain()` then flushing microtasks via `await new Promise(r => setImmediate(r))` results in `createCalendarEvent` called exactly once — with NO `vi.useFakeTimers()` / no 15s advance
- Test B (SC-4 / D-05): with `createCalendarEvent` first call held on a manually-resolved promise and two pending rows, calling `signalOutboxDrain()` (drain 1 starts), then `signalOutboxDrain()` twice more while drain 1 is in flight, then releasing drain 1 and flushing, results in exactly one trailing re-drain — `createCalendarEvent` total calls equal (rows in drain 1) + (rows in trailing drain), never a third drain pass
- Test C (SC-4 / D-07): with `createCalendarEvent` mocked to a `setTimeout(20ms)`-delayed resolve and one pending row, calling `scheduleOutboxDrain()` twice synchronously then `await vi.runAllTimersAsync()` results in `createCalendarEvent` called exactly once (second concurrent call no-ops via `isDraining`)
</behavior>
<action>
Extend `apps/api/tests/broker/outboxWorker.test.ts`. Update the top import to add `scheduleOutboxDrain` to the existing `import { runOutboxDrain, assembleRruleString } from '../../src/broker/outboxWorker.js';` line, and add `import { signalOutboxDrain } from '../../src/lib/outboxTrigger.js';`. Reuse the existing module-scope helpers (`mockPendingRows`, `makeRow`, `makeResponse`, `wireMockChain`) and the `createCalendarEvent` mock from `../../src/broker/write.js` — do NOT redeclare them. Add ONE new describe block after the last existing describe block: `describe('scheduleOutboxDrain — trigger wiring (D-09)', ...)`. Inside, replicate the existing `beforeEach` (`vi.resetAllMocks(); mockPendingRows = []; wireMockChain();`). Because `isDraining`/`drainRequested` are module-level flags that persist across tests in the same module instance, end each test that leaves a drain potentially in flight by awaiting two `setImmediate` flushes so the module flags settle before the next test. Write Test A, Test B, Test C per the `<behavior>` block. For Test A and Test B use `await new Promise<void>(resolve => setImmediate(resolve))` for microtask flushing (the signal→drain path is microtask-driven, no timers — per RESEARCH Q5); for Test B use `vi.mocked(createCalendarEvent).mockImplementationOnce(async () => { await firstDone; return makeResponse(201); }).mockResolvedValue(makeResponse(201))` with a manually-captured `resolveFirst`. For Test C use `vi.useFakeTimers()` + `vi.runAllTimersAsync()` and restore real timers in that test's cleanup. Assert exact call counts per `<behavior>`. This task is RED: it imports `scheduleOutboxDrain` which does not exist yet, so the file fails to resolve / the new tests fail. Do NOT implement `scheduleOutboxDrain` in this task. Do NOT touch the existing 15 tests.

Modify `apps/api/src/broker/outboxWorker.ts`. (1) Add `import { onOutboxDrain } from '../lib/outboxTrigger.js';` with the other imports. (2) Immediately after `let isDraining = false;` (L159) add `let drainRequested = false;`. (3) Add and EXPORT a new `scheduleOutboxDrain(): void` function (place it between the `isDraining`/`drainRequested` declarations and `runOutboxDrain`): if `isDraining` is true, set `drainRequested = true` and return; otherwise call `runOutboxDrain()` and chain `.catch((err: unknown) => console.error('[outboxWorker] Unhandled runOutboxDrain error:', err))` then `.finally(() => { if (drainRequested) { drainRequested = false; scheduleOutboxDrain(); } })`. The `drainRequested = false` reset MUST come BEFORE the recursive `scheduleOutboxDrain()` call (Pitfall 3 — resetting after would allow an infinite loop). (4) Do NOT modify `runOutboxDrain`'s body or its `isDraining` guard/`finally` in any way (preserves the existing 15 tests and D-02/D-07). (5) Add and EXPORT `initOutboxTrigger(): void` that calls `onOutboxDrain(() => scheduleOutboxDrain())` — placed alongside `startOutboxWorker` in the scheduler section. (6) Update `startOutboxWorker`'s `setInterval` body to call `scheduleOutboxDrain()` instead of `runOutboxDrain().catch(...)` — the per-call `.catch` is now absorbed into `scheduleOutboxDrain`, so the interval body becomes a bare `scheduleOutboxDrain();` call (keep the 15 * 1000 interval exactly per D-08). (7) Extend the file-header export-rationale comment (L1922) with a line: `scheduleOutboxDrain is exported for unit testing; it wraps runOutboxDrain with the isDraining guard + drainRequested trailing-re-drain loop (D-05).` This task is GREEN: the Task 2 tests must now pass.

## Trust Boundaries
| Boundary | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| route handler → in-process EventEmitter | A committed enqueue publishes a `'drain'` signal in-process. No network surface, no new auth boundary, no new user input crosses here — the signal carries no payload. |
| EventEmitter listener → runOutboxDrain | The single subscriber funnels the signal into the existing `isDraining`-guarded drain. Existing trust boundaries (CalDAV credential decryption, Fastmail I/O) are unchanged downstream. |
## STRIDE Threat Register
| Threat ID | Category | Component | Disposition | Mitigation Plan |
|-----------|----------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| T-09-01 | Denial of Service | `scheduleOutboxDrain` trailing-re-drain loop | mitigate | `drainRequested` is a boolean that collapses all mid-drain signals into exactly one trailing drain (D-05/D-06); it is reset BEFORE the recursive call (Pitfall 3), so a burst can never produce an unbounded re-drain chain against Fastmail rate limits. Test B (D-05) asserts exactly one trailing drain. |
| T-09-02 | Denial of Service | listener registration in test process | mitigate | `onOutboxDrain` is invoked only from `initOutboxTrigger`, which (in Plan 02) is called only under `isMainModule()` in `index.ts`. Tests import `runOutboxDrain`/`scheduleOutboxDrain` directly and never register a listener — no open-handle leak preventing process exit. Single subscriber → default 10-listener limit suffices, no `setMaxListeners`. |
| T-09-03 | Denial of Service | error in drain escaping the wrapper | mitigate | `scheduleOutboxDrain` wraps `runOutboxDrain()` in `.catch(...)` that logs and swallows, matching the existing setInterval error-swallowing pattern (D-02). A thrown drain error cannot crash the process or escape into the EventEmitter `emit` call frame. |
| T-09-04 | Tampering | signal-induced reentrancy bypassing isDraining | accept→mitigate | The signal NEVER calls `runOutboxDrain()` directly; it always goes through `scheduleOutboxDrain`, which checks `isDraining` before dispatch (D-02). Test C (D-07) asserts concurrent `scheduleOutboxDrain` calls dispatch each row exactly once. No new tampering vector — the guard is reused verbatim. |
No `npm`/`pip`/`cargo` install in this plan (zero-dependency, `node:events` only) — no T-09-SC supply-chain threat applies. RESEARCH Package Legitimacy Audit confirms no new external packages.

<objective>
Wire the drain signal into the live request and startup paths: publish `signalOutboxDrain()` after each of the four enqueue commits in `events.ts` (create, edit-as-move, same-calendar update, delete) and subscribe the drain listener at startup in `index.ts` via `initOutboxTrigger()` under `isMainModule()`.
Purpose: Connects the Plan 01 signal mechanism to real writes (so edits land in ~1-2s — SC-1) and to process startup (so the listener is active in production but never in the test process — SC-5), while keeping the optimistic-202 / no-inline-CalDAV route contract intact (SC-2 / D-04) and preserving create-before-delete ordering for moves (SC-3 / D-03).
Output: Four publish-site edits in `events.ts`, the `initOutboxTrigger()` startup call + import update in `index.ts`.

Modify `apps/api/src/routes/events.ts`. (1) Add `import { signalOutboxDrain } from '../lib/outboxTrigger.js';` with the existing imports. (2) Insert a fire-and-forget `signalOutboxDrain();` call (NOT awaited — D-04) immediately AFTER the awaited enqueue and BEFORE the `return c.json(..., 202)` at each of the four sites:
- Site 1 (POST /create): after `await db.insert(calendarOutbox).values({...})` (~L300308), before `return c.json({ uid }, 202)` (L309).
- Site 2 (PATCH /:uid/edit, edit-as-move): after `await db.transaction(async (tx) => {...})` RESOLVES (L408432) — the call goes on the line AFTER the `await db.transaction(...)` statement, NOT inside the transaction callback. This is the critical placement (D-03 / Pitfall 6 / Pitfall 1): publishing inside the callback would fire before the DELETE+CREATE rows are durably committed. Place it before `return c.json({ uid: newUid }, 202)` (L432).
- Site 3 (PATCH /:uid/edit, same-calendar update): after `await db.insert(calendarOutbox).values({ operation: 'update', ... })` (~L436445), before `return c.json({ uid }, 202)` (L447).
- Site 4 (DELETE /:uid): after `await db.insert(calendarOutbox).values({ operation: 'delete', ... })` (~L511519), before `return c.json({ uid }, 202)` (L521).
Do NOT change any route's status code, response body, validation, ownership checks, or the no-inline-CalDAV behavior — the only change is adding the post-commit signal call at each site. Do NOT await the signal. Do NOT add a signal inside the `db.transaction` callback or in any `catch` block.

- `events.ts` imports `signalOutboxDrain` from `'../lib/outboxTrigger.js'`
- Exactly four `signalOutboxDrain()` calls exist (`grep -c "signalOutboxDrain()" src/routes/events.ts` == 4), one per enqueue site
- At Site 2 the `signalOutboxDrain()` call appears AFTER the `await db.transaction(...)` statement, not inside its callback (no `signalOutboxDrain` between the two `tx.insert` calls)
- No `signalOutboxDrain()` is awaited (`grep -n "await signalOutboxDrain" src/routes/events.ts` returns nothing — D-04 fire-and-forget)
- No route handler gained an inline CalDAV call; status codes and bodies unchanged (still 202 with `{ uid }` / `{ uid: newUid }`)
- `cd apps/api && npx tsc --noEmit` reports no errors in `events.ts`

- apps/api/src/index.ts (full file — confirm: import `import { startOutboxWorker } from './broker/outboxWorker.js';` at L16; `isMainModule()` function at L100107; the `if (isMainModule())` startup block at L112 with `startBrokerPoller()` (L136), `startOutboxWorker()` (L138), `startReminderScheduler()` (L141))

</read_first>
<action>
Modify `apps/api/src/index.ts`. (1) Update the existing import at L16 from `import { startOutboxWorker } from './broker/outboxWorker.js';` to also import `initOutboxTrigger`: `import { startOutboxWorker, initOutboxTrigger } from './broker/outboxWorker.js';`. (2) Inside the existing `if (isMainModule())` block, add `initOutboxTrigger();` on the line immediately AFTER `startOutboxWorker();` (L138) — so the fallback interval is registered before the signal listener subscribes (logical ordering; both are synchronous). Add an inline comment: `// subscribe drain signal listener (D-01)`. Do NOT add the call outside the `isMainModule()` guard — the listener MUST be gated so tests that import `app` never register it (Pitfall 4 — listener/timer leakage in tests). Do NOT modify `isMainModule()` itself, `startBrokerPoller`, `startReminderScheduler`, or the `serve(...)` call.

## Trust Boundaries
| Boundary | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| client → route handler | Unchanged — same Zod validation, ownership checks, and optimistic-202 contract. This plan adds no new input, no new endpoint, no new status path. |
| route handler → in-process EventEmitter | A committed enqueue calls `signalOutboxDrain()` in-process. No payload, no network, fire-and-forget. |
| process startup → EventEmitter listener | `initOutboxTrigger()` registers the single drain listener only under `isMainModule()`. The test process never crosses this boundary. |
## STRIDE Threat Register
| Threat ID | Category | Component | Disposition | Mitigation Plan |
|-----------|----------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| T-09-05 | Tampering | edit-as-move signal placement | mitigate | `signalOutboxDrain()` is published AFTER `await db.transaction(...)` resolves, never inside the callback (D-03 / Pitfall 1) — so the DELETE+CREATE rows are durably committed before any drain can observe them; create-before-delete ordering (SC-3) is never raced. Verify step asserts no signal inside the transaction callback. |
| T-09-06 | Denial of Service | listener registered in test process | mitigate | `initOutboxTrigger()` is called only inside `if (isMainModule())` (Pitfall 4) — tests importing `app` never register the listener, so no spurious cross-test drains and no open handle preventing process exit. Verify step asserts the call is inside the guard. |
| T-09-07 | Denial of Service | fire-and-forget signal blocking the request | accept | `signalOutboxDrain()` is synchronous and emits to a single in-process listener that returns immediately (the listener calls `scheduleOutboxDrain` which is itself fire-and-forget); it cannot block the 202 response. No CalDAV I/O happens inline (SC-2 / D-04). Low risk, no mitigation needed beyond not awaiting the call. |
No `npm`/`pip`/`cargo` install in this plan — no supply-chain (T-09-SC) threat. No new external package (RESEARCH Package Legitimacy Audit: none introduced).

- `cd apps/api && npx vitest run` — FULL suite GREEN (the existing events.ts route tests confirm 202 + no inline CalDAV still hold after the signal additions; the Plan 01 trigger-wiring tests still pass)
- `cd apps/api && npx tsc --noEmit` — no type errors in `events.ts` or `index.ts` (mandatory — Vitest passes while tsc fails per [[vitest-passes-tsc-fails]])
- `grep -c "signalOutboxDrain()" apps/api/src/routes/events.ts` == 4 — all four publish sites present
- `initOutboxTrigger()` is inside the `isMainModule()` block (Pitfall 4)

- Four post-commit `signalOutboxDrain()` publish sites in events.ts (create, edit-as-move-after-transaction, same-cal update, delete) — SC-1
- Route handlers still return optimistic 202 with no inline CalDAV; signal is fire-and-forget — SC-2 / D-04
- Edit-as-move signal fires after the transaction commits, preserving create-before-delete ordering — SC-3 / D-03
- initOutboxTrigger() wired under isMainModule() after startOutboxWorker(); fallback interval still active — SC-5
- Full Vitest suite GREEN + tsc --noEmit clean
