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.

* ci: auto-release workflow on merge to main
Rewrite .github/workflows/release.yml to trigger on every push to main
instead of manual tag pushes. The workflow now:
- Computes version as 0.YYYYMMDD.GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER
- Builds aarch64-apple-darwin and x86_64-apple-darwin in parallel
- Merges them into a universal binary using lipo
- Creates a universal .dmg and signed updater tarball
- Generates latest.json with per-arch and universal platform entries
- Publishes a GitHub Release with auto-generated release notes
- Updates a GitHub Pages release history site (gh-pages branch)
Product decisions:
- Universal binary approach: copy arm64 .app as base, lipo the main
executable, keep everything else from arm64 (shared frameworks are
architecture-independent). This is the standard Tauri pattern.
- Per-arch updater tarballs are also uploaded so the Tauri updater can
download the correct arch-specific build (smaller download).
- Release notes are auto-generated from git log since last tag.

* ci: github pages with release history
Use peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v4 to deploy a release history site.
The page fetches releases.json (also deployed) and renders each release
with date, notes, and download links for .dmg files.
This handles the gh-pages branch creation automatically on first run.
The page is available at https://refactoringhq.github.io/laputa-app/
Product decision: used fetch() to load releases.json at runtime instead
of inlining it, which is cleaner and avoids shell escaping issues with
release note content. The releases.json is deployed alongside index.html.

* feat: in-app update notification UI
Replace the old window.confirm updater with a proper React-based
update notification system:
- useUpdater hook now exposes state machine (idle → available →
downloading → ready) and actions (startDownload, openReleaseNotes,
dismiss)
- UpdateBanner component renders at the top of the app shell:
- "Available" state: shows version, Release Notes link, Update Now
button, dismiss X
- "Downloading" state: animated spinner, progress bar with percentage
- "Ready" state: Restart Now button to apply the update
- Silently checks on startup after 3s delay; fails silently on
network errors or 404
- Release Notes link opens the GitHub Pages release history site
Product decisions:
- Banner at top of app (not a modal) — non-intrusive, visible but
not blocking. User can dismiss and continue working.
- Progress bar shows during download so user knows it's working.
- Separate "Restart Now" state after download so user controls when
the app restarts (they may have unsaved work).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: updater component tests
Rewrite useUpdater hook tests and add UpdateBanner component tests:
Hook tests (10 cases):
- Starts in idle state
- Does nothing when not in Tauri
- Checks for updates after 3s delay
- Stays idle when no update available
- Transitions to available when update found
- Handles missing release body gracefully
- Stays idle on network error (fails silently)
- Dismiss returns to idle
- openReleaseNotes opens correct URL
- startDownload transitions through downloading to ready
Component tests (10 cases):
- Renders nothing when idle
- Renders nothing on error
- Shows version and buttons when available
- Update Now calls startDownload
- Release Notes calls openReleaseNotes
- Dismiss button works
- Shows progress bar during download
- Shows 0% at start of download
- Shows restart button when ready
- Restart button calls restartApp
All 457 tests pass.

* design: auto-build-release wireframes
Copy ui-design.pen as base. Frames to be added for:
1. Update notification banner (visible state) — horizontal bar at
top of app shell with version text, Release Notes link, Update
Now button, and dismiss X
2. Update download progress state — spinner icon, progress bar with
percentage, downloading text
3. "Restart to apply" state — green accent, version text, Restart
Now button
Note: Pencil editor was not available during this session. The base
design file is committed; frames will be added when the editor is
accessible. The implemented component (UpdateBanner.tsx) serves as
the source of truth for the design.

* docs: update ARCHITECTURE.md with release/update system
Add comprehensive documentation for:
- Release pipeline (4-phase workflow: version → build → release → pages)
- Versioning scheme (0.YYYYMMDD.RUN_NUMBER)
- Universal binary strategy (lipo merge)
- Updater endpoint and latest.json manifest
- In-app update UI state machine
- GitHub Pages release history site
