What does this PR do?

Adds MailMessage.message_id: str | None = None. When set, build_mime uses it as the Message-ID header and send returns it unchanged. When None, an ID is generated on the sender's domain as before.

The point is that the host knows the key before sending. If the process dies between send() and recording its result, the host can still look the message up in the relay's or provider's logs. A retry of the same delivery reuses the stored ID.

  • Validation: exactly the RFC 5322 msg-id without its obsolete and domain-literal forms: < dot-atom-text @ dot-atom-text >, printable ASCII, no whitespace, at most 250 characters (MAX_MESSAGE_ID_LENGTH). Anything else is a ValueError that does not echo the value.
  • The docs, threat model and integration checklist state the host's responsibilities:
    • make it opaque (a random token) and never derive it from personal data, since every relay, the recipient and anyone the mail is forwarded to can see it;
    • keep it unique: reuse it only to retry the same message;
    • a mailbox showing two copies with the same ID as one is not guaranteed;
    • some relays (Amazon SES) replace the ID with their own.

Additive: a new MailMessage field with a default.

Related issue

Closes #55. This implements the alternative agreed in the review of #55, not the X- header map the issue proposed:

  • Message-ID is the key relays, bounces and mailboxes already keep.
  • It opens no header namespace. X- names are not harmless: SendGrid's X-SMTPAPI can add recipients, X-SES-CONFIGURATION-SET and X-PM-Message-Stream change handling, and Exchange acts on X-MS-Exchange-Organization-*.
  • The app's existing X- delivery-key header is only written, never searched, so nothing is lost.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Outgoing mail can now use a caller-supplied message ID. Valid IDs are returned unchanged; if none is supplied, one is generated as before.
    • Supplied IDs must follow the accepted email identifier format and be no longer than 250 characters. Invalid IDs are rejected.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on choosing message IDs, including privacy, uniqueness, retry behavior, and the possibility that relays may replace them.
    • Security guidance notes that IDs should be opaque and not derived from personal data.

MailMessage.message_id is sent and returned unchanged, so a host can
store the key before sending and still find the message in the relay's
logs if it dies before recording the result. It is validated as the
RFC 5322 dot-atom msg-id form, at most 250 characters.

This replaces the X- trace headers #55 proposed: Message-ID is the key
relays, bounces and mailboxes already keep, and it opens no header
namespace a relay might act on.

Closes #55

Walkthrough

MailMessage accepts an optional host-supplied message ID. The builder validates its format and length, uses it unchanged in the MIME Message-ID header, and retains sender-domain generation when it is absent. The field also affects message hashing.

Changes: Message-ID handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Message-ID contract and validation
jasil/providers.py, jasil/_core/mail_message.py
MailMessage and MailMessageLike expose an optional message_id. The builder rejects values that are not strings, exceed 250 characters, or do not match the required format.
MIME header behavior and coverage
jasil/_core/mail_message.py, tests/test_mail.py, CHANGELOG.md, docs/providers-and-backends.md, docs/security/*
build_mime uses a valid supplied ID unchanged, or generates one using the sender’s domain when no ID is supplied. Tests cover serialization, validation, and message identity. Documentation describes the format and privacy constraints.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Explanation

[#55] The PR supports a host-supplied reconciliation key through Message-ID, with validation, tests, and privacy guidance. The issue requires MailMessage.trace_headers to add controlled host-selected X- headers without changing identity. The PR implements message_id instead. It does not provide the requested mapping, its name and value limits, or tests for those limits.

Resolution

Implement and test the controlled trace_headers mapping and its validation. Update the header-injection threat model as required by #55.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 3 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
