## Summary
- Add `References` header fallback for thread resolution in IMAP ingress.
- Extract `resolveThreadID` helper that tries `In-Reply-To` first, then iterates `References` last-to-first (most recent ancestor first).
- Wire the helper into `processMessage`, replacing the manual In-Reply-To-only logic.
## Changes
- `internal/mail/imap.go`: Add `resolveThreadID` and `parseReferences` functions. Update `processMessage` to extract both headers and use the new helper.
- `internal/mail/resolve_thread_test.go`: 7 test cases covering all threading paths.
## Test Plan
- [x] `go test ./internal/mail -run ResolveThreadID -v` — 7/7 PASS
- [x] `go test ./internal/mail -v` — 12/12 PASS
- [x] `go test ./...` — all packages PASS
- [x] `go build ./...` — OK
- [x] `go vet ./...` — OK
Fixes #4
- Add references variable to extract References header
- Replace manual inReplyTo handling with resolveThreadID call
- Maintain existing body parsing functionality
- Includes proper lambda function for database lookups

[High] docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-28-references-threading.md:1 and docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-28-references-threading-design.md:1 are still included in the implementation PR. They are issue-planning/design artifacts rather than part of the product change required by issue #4, so the previous scope-creep finding is only partially addressed.

Replace them later with an ADR-based repository record instead of keeping docs/superpowers/** artifacts in the implementation PR.
I logged follow-up issue #14 to track that workflow/documentation change:
proposed docs/adr/README.md content, with the mock/sample index entries removed
a draft ADR for this exact threading decision
suggested updates to AGENT.md
suggested updates to validate-issue, do-task, and review-pr
The core distinction I want the workflow to preserve is:
docs/superpowers/** = agent execution artifacts, temporary planning material
docs/adr/** = durable repository decision records that are valid to keep long-term
I’m fine with preserving the technical rationale for this PR. I just want it preserved in the right form. If the team adopts the ADR workflow from issue #14, then a future PR can add something like docs/adr/0001-imap-thread-resolution.md and that would be a legitimate in-scope repository record.
I think the right resolution here is:
1. Remove these two files from PR #13:
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-28-references-threading.md`
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-28-references-threading-design.md`

ADR/workflow follow-up is tracked separately in issue #14, so it no longer blocks this implementation PR.
