Meridian 1.58.2

August 13, 2026

Needs Attention stops repeating itself, and stops turning one receipt into a dozen cards.

One email can no longer fill Needs Attention — several to-dos found in a single message were meant to collapse into one card, but the check only worked when Meridian could identify the wider conversation, which for most mail it can’t. A forwarded utility bill produced seventeen cards. Clearing them just brought up three more from the same email.
Receipts and confirmations aren’t promises — handed a payment confirmation, Meridian was listing every line of it back to you as something you’d agreed to do: the account number, the processing fee, the ZIP code. It now recognises a statement about something already done and leaves it out.
Dismissed cards stay dismissed — Meridian only remembered your last few hundred dismissals, and once past that limit it began discarding them, so cards you had already cleared came back. It now remembers far more, and when it does need to forget something it drops entries that can no longer match anything rather than your actual decisions.

Open the email behind a “you promised” card — cards for a commitment found in your mail can now open that message, so you can read what you actually wrote before deciding what to do about it. This works even when the conversation has since been archived.
