+## 2026-04-24 - Helpdesk/redMCP Smoke Validation
+
+- Touched areas:
+  - `redMCP`
+  - Helpdesk test tooling
+- Purpose:
+  - Prove the LAN test instance can import a Helpdesk email, expose its
+    Helpdesk metadata through redMCP, update a non-Helpdesk control issue, send
+    an explicit Helpdesk reply, and verify outbound delivery through Mailpit.
+  - Make customer-visible Helpdesk email opt-in in redMCP.
+- Behavior clarified:
+  - `RedMCP\RedmineClient::updateIssue()` uses the normal Redmine REST API and
+    does not send a Helpdesk email by default.
+  - `updateIssue(..., ['send_helpdesk_email' => true])` and
+    `sendHelpdeskIssueResponse()` deliberately use the Helpdesk email path.
+- LAN test result:
+  - `./helpdesk_smoke_test.py` passed against `fud-helpdesk` and
+    `fud-nohelpdesk`.
+  - The smoke test verifies that a default issue update does not send Mailpit
+    mail, while an explicit Helpdesk response does.
+  - Latest documented passing run created and closed controlled Helpdesk issue
+    `#39871`.
