Objective

Replace mock email service (saves to files) with actual SMTP email sending.

Current Issues

• Email service saves HTML to backend/outbox/ directory instead of sending
• Pulse escalation alerts don't actually notify guardians
• Magic link emails don't send
• Welcome emails don't send
• No production email configuration

Expected Outcome

• Actual email sending via SendGrid, Gmail SMTP, or AWS SES
• Compassionate email templates appropriate for death planning
• Email logging and delivery tracking
• Configurable SMTP settings via environment variables
• Pulse notifications, magic links, and welcome emails working

Files to Modify

Backend Files

1. /backend/services/email_service.py - Rewrite with actual SMTP
2. /backend/config.py - Add email configuration

Email Templates (Create)

1. /backend/templates/emails/pulse_alert.html - Guardian alert
2. /backend/templates/emails/magic_link.html - Magic link login
3. /backend/templates/emails/welcome.html - Welcome email
4. /backend/templates/emails/base.html - Base template

Implementation Approach

1. Add SMTP configuration to config.py (server, port, username, password)
2. Rewrite email_service.py to use smtplib or SendGrid SDK
3. Create Jinja2 email templates with compassionate language
4. Add email logging for delivery tracking
5. Test with all email types (pulse, magic link, welcome)

Success Criteria

• Emails actually send to recipients
• SMTP credentials configurable via environment
• Email templates use compassionate language
• Pulse alerts notify guardians
• Magic link emails work
• Email delivery logged
