Owner (2026-09-28, mail grill #257 Q17): 'contacts is a feature later - please file it as its own issue.'

For now the Mail composer suggests addresses only from correspondents in the mail index. No contact records exist.

Grill topics to prepare when this is picked up: a Contacts mode or a sub-view (tab bar and More, #294); storage as files in Home ('file over app': vCard .vcf per contact? a folder?); CardDAV server and client sync (calternal already serves CalDAV/DAV); import from Apple/Google/Fastmail; merging duplicates; links from mail senders, event attendees, photo people (faces) and note @mentions; birthdays in Calendar; a 'Create contact' action from a mail sender; sharing contacts with a Group; privacy of synced address books. Research first (docs/research/contacts.md), then grill the owner. No implementation before the grill.
