Notes

• If no emails match the filters within the poll window, the node returns null and the workflow does not trigger.
• onlyUnread and sender build the Graph $filter alongside the poll window; subjectContains is applied client-side (Graph can't combine $filter with $search), which temporarily raises the fetch size to 50 before trimming back to maxEmails.
• Setting folder to anything other than Inbox queries that mail folder instead of the default inbox.
• Emits one item containing emails (array) and a summary (count, subjects, senders, pollInterval, polledAt); if markAsRead is set, matched emails are marked read (best-effort).
