[Claude Code] Session Checkpoint

• Continuing lifeos-rethink from 2026-05-17. All non-Workspace paths exhausted (verification, MCP-via-API, IMAP, third-party hosts all fail one constraint).
• Justin asking: does moving everything to Google Workspace open the path?
• Yes — service account + Domain-Wide Delegation breaks the auth-cost-autonomy triangle. AI thinking via claude -p keeps it on subscription.
• Next: walk through Workspace migration plan + what stays on personal.

• Last: Yes. Moving to Google Workspace breaks the triangle. This is the path I should have led with hours ago. ## Why Workspace changes everything Workspace accounts ([email protected]) suppo…

• Last: Yes. Calendar sharing with "Make changes to events" permission gives the business account real edit access — and since Forge's service account impersonates the business user via DWD, it inherits t…

• Last: Two separate answers: ## Q1: Personal inbox — can Forge read/archive/modify it? No, not directly. Gmail has no cross-account sharing like Calendar. Forge (running as business via SA+DWD) can…

• Last: Same architecture extends cleanly. Two ways to handle the other brands: ## Option A: Hub-and-spoke (recommended — $0) [email protected] becomes the central hub. Every brand address forward…

• Last: No. That's the point of the hub-and-spoke. Only justinwieb.com needs to be paid Google Workspace. The others just need somewhere to receive mail and forward it. ## **What each brand actually …

• Last: Yes — and you're likely overpaying significantly. This is a "stop and audit before you delete anything" moment though, because canceling Workspace is destructive after the 30-day grace period. ##…
