- docs/adr/README.md: format spec, rules, index
- 0001: Tauri v2 + React stack
- 0002: filesystem as source of truth
- 0003: single note model (no tabs)
- 0004: vault vs app settings storage
- 0005: Tauri iOS for iPad (vs SwiftUI)
- CLAUDE.md: ADR process — when to read, when to create, when to supersede
BUILD SUCCEEDED on aarch64-sim. App installs and launches on iPad Pro 13"
simulator (iOS 18.3.1). React UI renders correctly in WKWebView — telemetry
consent dialog confirmed with proper styling, fonts, and button layout.

Initialize Tauri iOS support with conditional compilation:
- Desktop-only features (git CLI, menu, MCP, Claude CLI) gated behind #[cfg(desktop)]
- Mobile stubs return graceful errors so frontend degrades smoothly
- Vault read/write, AI chat, search, settings work unchanged on both platforms
- Xcode project generated, Rust cross-compiles cleanly to aarch64-apple-ios-sim
- All 581 Rust tests and 2201 frontend tests still pass

Reverts commits 47b5e45, 5c76939, 1eecae0, 660208a, 86a9f65, 259d5b6.
Removes PinnedPropertiesBar, usePinnedProperties hook, Rust backend
for _pinned_properties, and all related tests.

Add update_channel setting (stable/canary) to Settings with UI toggle.
Stable channel uses Tauri updater plugin; canary fetches latest-canary.json
and opens GitHub release page for manual download. Add useFeatureFlag()
hook with localStorage overrides and compile-time defaults (no remote
dependencies). Add release-canary.yml CI workflow for canary branch builds.
Update stable workflow to preserve latest-canary.json on GH Pages.

Also adds Playwright smoke test for consent dialog and mock handler
for reinit_telemetry command.

Document the "key:icon" string format used for _pinned_properties
in the system properties section and add it to the Type document
properties table.

Remove the entire QMD search engine (semantic indexing, hybrid search,
vector embeddings) and replace with a simple walkdir-based keyword
search. QMD never worked reliably in production, added bundle bloat,
and showed "Index failed" in the status bar.
What changed:
- Rust: deleted indexing.rs, rewrote search.rs as pure keyword search
- Frontend: removed useIndexing hook, IndexingBadge, hybrid search
- Menu: removed "Reindex Vault" command from palette and menu bar
- Config: removed qmd from bundle resources and build script
- Deleted tools/qmd/ (QMD CLI tool, MCP server, tests)
- Updated docs (ARCHITECTURE, ABSTRACTIONS, GETTING-STARTED)

Repair Vault was creating config/ui.config.md inside a config/ subdirectory.
All vault config files should live at vault root (flat structure). Changed
config_path() to point to vault root, added migrate_ui_config_to_root() for
legacy migration, and wired it into both startup and repair_vault flows.

When push is rejected due to remote having newer commits, the bottom bar
now shows "Pull required" (orange). Clicking it pulls then auto-pushes.
Conflicted notes show an inline banner with "Keep mine" / "Keep theirs"
buttons. A new "Pull from Remote" command is available in Cmd+K and the
Vault menu. Clicking the sync badge opens a popup showing branch name,
ahead/behind counts, and a Pull button.

Add multi-window support: notes can be opened in dedicated secondary
Tauri windows with editor-only layout (no sidebar, no note list).
Triggers: Cmd+Shift+Click on notes, Cmd+K → "Open in New Window",
Cmd+Shift+O shortcut, Note → "Open in New Window" menu bar item.
Secondary windows have their own auto-save, theme, and wikilink
navigation. Closing a secondary window does not affect the main window.

Repair Vault command now runs flatten_vault() and migrate_is_a_to_type()
before restoring themes and config, ensuring vaults adopt flat structure.
Also fixes config.md type definition to use `type: Type` instead of
legacy `Is A: Type`.

Editor mode is now stored as a global preference in VaultConfig instead of
being tracked per-tab. Toggling raw mode persists across tab switches and
app restarts via the editor_mode field in config/ui.config.md.

Covers note creation via Cmd+N, unique naming, note selection, and
inspector rendering. Also documents frontmatterOps in ARCHITECTURE.md.

Extract note creation (CRUD, daily notes, types, optimistic persistence) into
useNoteCreation and rename operations into useNoteRename. useNoteActions now
composes both hooks plus frontmatter/navigation logic.

- scan_vault now scans root + protected folders only (no deep recursion)
- vault_health_check command detects stray files and title mismatches
- Wikilink resolution: multi-pass with filename stem priority
- TitleField: dedicated title UI above editor, H1 hidden via CSS
- Migration banner: detects subfolders on vault open, offers flatten
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Simplify flatten_vault API to return usize instead of MigrationResult struct
- Add KEEP_FOLDERS: attachments/ and _themes/ alongside type/, config/, theme/
- Use HashSet for collision tracking in unique_filename
- Update wikilinks from path-based [[folder/slug]] to title-based [[slug]]
- Clean up empty directories after flattening
- Flatten demo-vault-v2: move all notes from type-based subfolders to root
- Update smoke tests for flat vault structure
- Remove migrate_to_flat_vault from repair_vault (one-time migration only)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Refactor useClosedTabHistory to store full VaultEntry (not stub) for reliable reopening
- Add data-tab-path attribute to TabItem for precise Playwright selectors
- Add 2 Playwright smoke tests: single close/reopen and empty-history no-op
- Update ARCHITECTURE.md and ABSTRACTIONS.md with closed tab history docs

Add batch_delete_notes and empty_trash to Tauri IPC commands table
(62 → 64 total). Create placeholder design file for the feature.

Reload Vault (Cmd+K) now calls the new `reload_vault` Tauri command which
deletes the cache file before scanning, guaranteeing a full filesystem
rescan. Previously it called `list_vault` which used incremental git-based
cache updates that could miss recent changes (e.g. trashing a note then
reloading showed stale data).

Move updateEntry() calls after handleUpdateFrontmatter/handleDeleteProperty
in handleCustomizeType, handleRenameSection, and handleToggleTypeVisibility
so React state only updates after the disk write succeeds. This prevents
state-disk divergence when writes fail.
Expand ARCHITECTURE.md "Three representations, one authority" section with
ownership rules, invariants table, and recovery mechanisms. Add
reload_vault_entry to the commands table (62 total).
Add Playwright smoke test for Reload Vault in Cmd+K palette.

Any frontmatter field whose value contains [[wikilinks]] now renders as a
relationship chip automatically. Fields with plain-text values always render
as editable properties, even if they were formerly hardcoded relationship keys.

Cache files are now stored outside the vault directory at
~/.laputa/cache/<vault-hash>.json, preventing them from polluting
the user's git repo. Writes use atomic tmp+rename to avoid corruption.
Legacy .laputa-cache.json files are auto-migrated and cleaned up on
first run.

Laputa as proof-of-work for Refactoring's credibility:
- Building publicly validates the author's authority to write about
building software with AI (not theory — demonstrated practice)
- Open source makes the work visible: GitHub commits are public evidence
- Success converts to reputation/acquisition for Refactoring via
sponsorships, paid subs, and brand authority
- Strategy: build the tool you describe, make the work visible
Strongest possible answer to 'why are you the right person to build this':
- Generalist CTO who can build end-to-end
- 300+ articles = battle-tested PKM system at scale
- Refactoring distribution (~200K subscribers) = built-in audience
- Not theorized — the method is proven by the output that exists
The capture→organize→express framework is output-agnostic:
- Writers: evergreen notes as building blocks for articles
- Builders: project knowledge graph and shipped work
- Operators: procedures and responsibility systems
What varies is the expression layer; the discipline is universal.
Two additions from Luca's published essays on note-taking:
- 'Knowledge has a purpose' section: notes exist to get things done,
not for abstract future use. Without purpose, the system collapses.
- Evergreen notes concept: atomic, timeless, reusable units of thought.
The most valuable layer of a mature vault.
- Organize phase clarified: weekly cadence, deleting >50% of captures
is normal and healthy, not a failure.
Complete rewrite structured around three pillars:
1. The problem (architectural + methodological)
2. The method (ontology, capture/organize, convention over configuration)
3. The foundation (local files, Git, AI-native architecture)
Key improvement: the document now explains *why* tool and method together
is the differentiating insight — not just a list of features and principles.
Includes the three-stage product trajectory and updated design principles.
Current state section condensed; full roadmap moved to ROADMAP.md.
VISION.md:
- New section 'The two-phase knowledge workflow: capture and organize'
- Explains capture (fast, frictionless, everywhere) vs organize (deliberate,
periodic) as fundamentally different activities
- Defines Inbox: a smart filter showing notes with no outgoing relationships
- Inbox Zero as the goal; connecting a note removes it automatically
- Replaces 'All Notes' as the primary navigation section
ROADMAP.md:
- New strategic direction #4: Inbox and capture pipeline
- Covers inbox UI, capture integrations (Chrome ext, iPhone, Readwise, voice)
- Add 'Product trajectory' section: 3 stages from personal PKM → indie
knowledge workers → small teams, with rationale for why the same
foundational model (local files + Git) enables all three stages
- Note that the knowledge ontology (Projects/Responsibilities/Procedures/
Notes/People/Events) maps equally well to personal and organizational use
- Describe workspace feature as the seed for future team access control
- Update design principles: add convention over configuration, semantic
properties, filesystem as source of truth; expand AI-native principle
to include AI-readability via shared conventions
- ARCHITECTURE.md: new Design Principles section covering filesystem as
source of truth, convention over configuration, no hardcoded exceptions,
AI-first knowledge graph, and three-representation model
- ABSTRACTIONS.md: design philosophy intro + semantic field names table
documenting all conventional frontmatter fields and their UI behavior
Convention over configuration principle explicitly noted as serving
AI-readability: shared conventions make vaults navigable by AI agents
without bespoke per-vault instructions.
When viewing a Type note (e.g. "Project"), the Properties panel now shows
an Instances section listing all notes of that type, sorted by modified_at
descending. Trashed instances are excluded, archived instances are dimmed.
Display capped at 50 with count badge for large collections.

The frontmatter field for entity type is now 'type:' (not 'Is A:').
The Rust parser accepts both via serde alias, but all documentation,
examples, and new code should use 'type:'.
Updated: ABSTRACTIONS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, PROJECT-SPEC.md, GETTING-STARTED.md
Updated all three docs to reflect significant features added since they were last written:
- AI agent panel (Claude CLI subprocess with tool execution + NDJSON streaming)
- Vault cache system (git-based incremental caching in cache.rs)
- Theme system (vault-based themes, useThemeManager, ThemePropertyEditor)
- Search & indexing (qmd integration, keyword/semantic/hybrid modes)
- Pulse view (git activity feed with pagination)
- GitHub OAuth (device flow, vault clone/create)
- Vault management (multi-vault, vault config, onboarding, WelcomeScreen)
- Raw editor mode (CodeMirror 6 alternative)
- Command palette (Cmd+K registry)
- Auto-sync & conflict resolution
Also added mandatory docs-update rule to CLAUDE.md: docs/ files must be
updated in the same commit as significant feature changes.
