This is a new repository which will contain all of the code and tools used to...

That's a fair concern. Looking at his profile:

Potentially overqualified:

• CS major in Grainger Engineering
• Already uses Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Cursor daily
• Uses Cursor for complex projects and websites
• The course is designed for students with "no programming or technical background"

Arguments for keeping him:

• He explicitly says he doesn't understand how it works or the societal implications
• Wants conceptual foundation before CS 440
• The course has discussion/ethics components that aren't just tool usage
• Could contribute technical perspective to discussions with non-CS majors

Arguments against:

• Labs might feel too basic (creating websites, images, etc. with AI)
• May not be the target audience you designed the course for
• Spot could go to a student who needs this introduction more

What's your read? Should we skip him and let him know the course might not be the right fit, or is there value in having a technically experienced student in the mix?

Done! All 24 welcome emails sent and logged.

Summary:

• 24 personalized welcome emails sent
• Each included personal acknowledgment from their application, first meeting info (Thursday 1/22), and registration confirmation
• Log saved to data/spring2026/communications/welcome-emails.yaml

Also completed this session:

• Consolidated MCP server into tools/communication
• Fixed auth to use refresh tokens (~90 day validity)
• Created bin/run-with-env helper script
• Created email template at data/spring2026/communications/welcome-email-template.md
• Updated send.ts to use Graph API with HTML support

<thinking> Let me look at the untracked files in more detail to understand what we're adding:

1. ../../bin/ - the run-with-env helper script
2. ../../data/spring2026/communications/ - welcome email log and template
3. src/auth.ts - the new MSAL auth with refresh token support
4. src/graph-client.ts - the Graph client moved from mcp-servers

Let me check the contents of these files and look for any debugging statements. </thinking>

<thinking> The console.log statements in auth.ts are all intentional user feedback messages (device code flow instructions, status messages, CLI help). These are appropriate for a CLI tool, not debugging statements.

Let me also check the send.ts file. </thinking>

<thinking> All console.log statements are intentional user feedback, not debugging. The changes look clean.

Let me summarize what we have:

Modified files:

• .gitignore - Added .msal-cache.json patterns
• CLAUDE.md - Updated documentation
• bun.lock - Dependencies updated
• package.json - Removed mcp-servers from workspaces
• tools/communication/package.json - Added MS Graph dependencies and bun-types
• tools/communication/src/send.ts - Replaced SMTP with Graph API
• tools/communication/tsconfig.json - Added bun-types

Deleted files:

• mcp-servers/outlook/* - All files removed (consolidated into tools/communication)

Untracked files to add:

• bin/run-with-env - Helper script for loading env vars
• data/spring2026/communications/welcome-email-template.md - Email template
• data/spring2026/communications/welcome-emails.yaml - Email send log
• tools/communication/src/auth.ts - New MSAL auth with refresh tokens
• tools/communication/src/graph-client.ts - Moved from mcp-servers

I think these should be broken into 2 commits:

1. Consolidate MCP server into tools/communication (code changes)
2. Add welcome email workflow (template and log)

Let me ask the user about the untracked files. </thinking>

Here's a summary of the changes:

Untracked files to add:

• bin/run-with-env - Helper script for loading env vars
• data/spring2026/communications/welcome-email-template.md - Email template
• data/spring2026/communications/welcome-emails.yaml - Email send log
• tools/communication/src/auth.ts - New MSAL auth with refresh tokens
• tools/communication/src/graph-client.ts - Moved from mcp-servers

Modified/deleted:

• Removed mcp-servers/outlook/ entirely
• Updated tools/communication/ with Graph API email support
• Updated documentation and gitignore

No debugging statements found - all console.log statements are intentional CLI feedback.

I'd suggest 2 commits:

1. "Consolidate Outlook MCP server into tools/communication" (code restructuring)
2. "Add welcome email workflow and send Spring 2026 emails" (template + log)

Done. Created 2 commits:

1. 2c98e0b - Consolidate Outlook MCP server into tools/communication
2. 637c43a - Add welcome email workflow and send Spring 2026 emails

Working tree is clean.

Sounds good. You have a nice mix of backgrounds - several pre-law students interested in AI's legal implications, psychology/philosophy majors for the ethics discussions, a few technical students who can contribute that perspective, and the CITL observer. The first meeting will be a good opportunity to clarify the non-technical focus and what students should expect from labs and discussions.

Is there anything else you'd like to work on for the course setup?
