georgeSentLetters now fetches each sent letter full message for its `to` (Gmail search omits recipient), bounded to 60 newest, parallel. collectSent merges live+local, dedups by recipient+day, 60s cache. Sent log + per-card emailed chip now show through today (was frozen at the last tool-send). Verified newest = Jul 14.
