Task #18 — Send a copy of the submitted message back to the contact in the confirmation email. Changes made to artifacts/api-server/src/routes/contact.ts: - Updated buildConfirmationEmail() signature from (name: string) to ({ name, subject, message }) so it can accept and render the original submission. - Added a visually distinct "Ihre Nachricht" quoted block to the HTML template: - Light gray background (#f8fafc) matching the existing bgField colour - Subtle 3px left border (#e2e8f0) styled as a blockquote - Rounded right corners (border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0) - ALL-CAPS label "IHRE NACHRICHT" in the same style as field labels elsewhere - Optional subject line rendered in semi-bold if provided - Message body with white-space:pre-wrap to preserve line breaks - All user-supplied values (subject, message) passed through the existing escapeHtml() helper — XSS-safe. - Updated the plain-text fallback: adds a "—" delimited quoted section with optional "Betreff:" line before the message body. - Updated the call site to pass { name, subject, message } to buildConfirmationEmail(). No new dependencies. Pre-existing TS error (SendContactMessageBody missing from @workspace/api-zod) is unrelated to this task and unchanged. Replit-Task-Id: 63279220-bb35-4721-bbd6-86182301a697
