A PatchObject key is a JSON Pointer (RFC 8620 section 5.3), so a slash
inside the member name it points at has to be escaped as `~1`. Keyword
patches were built as `keywords/${keyword}` verbatim, which is fine for
every flat keyword but wrong for a nested tag: `$label:work/clients`
became the pointer `keywords/$label:work/clients`, asking for the
`clients` member of the `$label:work` keyword rather than for the keyword
itself. The patch is not a boolean at that path, so the server rejects or
ignores it and the tag never lands.
Route the keyword patch sites - setKeyword, removeKeyword, migrateKeyword
and the category-tab batch patch - through `keywordPointer`, which escapes
per RFC 6901 the way the calendar store already does for participant ids.
Flat keywords are untouched, so `$seen`/`$flagged` and friends keep the
exact pointers they had. The dev JMAP mock reads the escaping back, or
nested tags would behave differently against the mock than against a real
server.
migrateKeyword also took any answer as success: a method-level error on
the query read as "no message carries this keyword", one on the write was
ignored outright, and a per-message refusal was invisible - so a rename
that moved nothing still reported a clean migration. It now answers with
{ migrated, refused }, because the work is batched and a failure partway
through cannot undo the batches already applied. A whole batch the server
refuses stops the rest, which it would refuse too; a single message it
refuses does not, the mail behind it being unaffected. A query error
throws, nothing having been written yet, and so does a run that migrated
nothing at all - the case where the caller must not rename a tag over
messages that all kept the old keyword.
The walk over tagged mail was not paginating safely either. It stopped at
the first page shorter than the limit it asked for, but RFC 8620 section
5.5 lets a server clamp that limit, so a clamping server left most of the
mail unmigrated. Positions are also only comparable within one queryState,
which the walk ignored: mail arriving mid-walk shifts every later page. It
now restarts when the state changes under it, and gives up - before any
write, so the caller can simply repeat - once a mailbox has moved under it
three times, rather than mixing ids from states that no longer agree. A
page carrying no id it has not already seen ends the walk, which keeps it
bounded against a server that answers every position with the same page.
