"stopped working" usually suggests some configuration change to me. It
would be helpful to know what precisely changed.

As far as debugging, I had two ideas to try.

- try running (notmuch-address-matching "dwrz") in *scratch* (or IELM,
  or M-:) ; this will eliminate company-mode as a suspect, and
  potentially give you a traceback if something is going wrong.

- have a look at the variable notmuch-address-save-filename. Potentially
  set it (back) to nil to disable persistent caching. If that fixes it,
  have a look at the corresponding file, see if something corrupted it.

fish breaks lots of assumptions for shells, but I guess you didn't just switch.

some subtle things changed with respect to starting external processes
in notmuch 0.26; if your recent configuration change was upgrading
notmuch, that might be worth further investigation.
