// The Mailu API client — mailu's own code, living in the module (novox/hq ADR 0044). Moved out of
// the shared hal sdk, where a change to Mailu's surface rebuilt everything; here it rebuilds only
// mailu. Both this module's tools and its events entrypoint import it, and nothing outside mailu does.
//
// hal drove Mailu through its flask CLI over `docker compose exec` into the admin container. That
// coupling was to the container, not to Mailu: it needed a shell on the box. The module's real
// coupling is the admin REST API, so that is what this client speaks — a token and a URL, no shell.
// The one exception is reading a mailbox: the admin API exposes no message reads, so that alone
// falls back to `doveadm` inside the imap container, the operation the HTTP surface cannot serve.
