**Emails can always update existing notes. But an email may only CREATE a new canonical People or Organization note if the user has replied at least once in the thread.** This stops purely inbound email (cold outreach, newsletters, one-way notifications) from spawning new notes for people the user has never engaged.
**How to check:** The email source lists each message as a \`### From: <sender>\` block. The user has replied if **at least one message in the thread was sent by the user** — a \`### From:\` line whose address matches \`user.email\`. A reply from someone at \`@user.domain\` (the user's own team) also counts as the user's side having engaged.
**How to check:** Each email source carries a system-computed \`REPLY-GATE\` banner right above its content — **the banner is authoritative**; do not re-derive it yourself. When the banner says the user has NOT replied, no new People/Organization note may be created from that file, full stop.
**A reply must also show engagement.** Even when the banner says the user replied, read the reply: a decline, brush-off, or unsubscribe-style response ("not interested", "please remove me", a bare "no thanks") means the user chose NOT to engage treat the thread as purely inbound and create nothing. The signal you're looking for is the user opting IN: "let's talk", answering their questions, scheduling, continuing the conversation.
(Fallback if a banner is somehow missing: the user has replied if at least one \`### From:\` line matches \`user.email\`, or \`@user.domain\` when it's a company domain.)
**Drafts never count.** An unsent draft is not a reply and is not "how the user responded". If a message block is marked as a draft (e.g. "DRAFT"), or is clearly an unsent/half-written composition by the user (trailing user-authored block with no real send evidence), ignore it entirely: it does not pass the reply gate, and you must never quote or summarize it as something the user said. Only actually-sent messages count.
