resolveRefs() and refsMatch() in noteListHelpers used a simple 2-pass
matching (path stem + filename stem), while the Inspector used the unified
resolveEntry() with 4-pass resolution (filename, alias, title, humanized
title). Notes matched only by title or alias were silently dropped from the
note list, causing incomplete relationship groups.

WKWebView doesn't invalidate ::before/::after pseudo-element styles when
CSS custom properties change via inline styles alone — offsetHeight reflow
only triggers layout, not style recalculation. This caused bullet size and
bullet color (rendered via ::before on bulletListItem) to not update live
when editing a theme note and saving with Cmd+S.
Fix: after setting CSS vars as inline styles, also inject them into a
<style> element. Replacing <style> content forces a full style tree
invalidation in WebKit, covering pseudo-elements that reference var().
Also extract shouldDeactivate/deactivateTheme helpers from useThemeManager
to reduce cyclomatic complexity (CodeScene: 8.77 → 9.6).

Two root causes:
1. noteListHooks used a stale selection.entry to build relationship groups —
now looks up the fresh entry from the entries array so relationship updates
propagate immediately.
2. frontmatterToEntryPatch didn't update entry.relationships — added
RelationshipPatch support so frontmatter changes also update the
relationships map in state.

The theme live-reload mechanism was already working correctly — the
previous QA failures were caused by flawed test methodology (modifying
files on disk while the editor had them open, so Cmd+S overwrote with

H1 headings are body content, not the title source of truth. Remove

Two bugs fixed:
1. CodeMirror raw editor didn't reflect frontmatter changes (e.g. Trashed: true)

2. Entry actions (trash/archive/restore/unarchive) showed "Property updated" toast

Added silent option to suppress toast when caller manages its own feedback.

handleSelectNote skipped syncNoteTitle for tabs already open (early

Remove owner, cadence, created_at, and created_time as hardcoded fields from
the Frontmatter struct — they don't drive app logic and belong in generic
properties. Owner and cadence values now flow through to the properties map
(including single-element array unwrapping). Creation date is sourced from
filesystem metadata (birthtime on macOS) instead of frontmatter.
Also fixes title extraction: add H1 heading extraction to extract_title()
(priority: frontmatter title → H1 → filename slug). Previously titles fell
back directly to filename when no frontmatter title was set.
StringOrList is retained for scalar Frontmatter fields as a defensive measure:
YAML values can arrive as single-element arrays (e.g. Status: [Active]) which
would cause entire deserialization to fail without it.

Replace per-field Option<String> with Option<StringOrList> for all string
fields in the Frontmatter struct (owner, cadence, status, icon, color,
sidebar_label, template, sort, view, trashed_at, created_at, created_time).
Previously, fields like Owner stored as YAML arrays (e.g. `Owner: [Luca]`)
caused serde to fail the entire Frontmatter deserialization, defaulting all
fields to None — including is_a, which broke the type badge display.
Now all string fields use StringOrList with into_scalar() normalization:
- Single-element array → unwrap to scalar
- Multi-element array → take first element
- Scalar → unchanged
- Empty array → None
- Absent → None

The Frontmatter struct deserialization failed completely when any unknown
field had a list value (e.g. Owner: [Luca], Cadence: [Weekly]) because
serde expected a string but got an array. This caused unwrap_or_default()

fields from causing deserialization failures

Multi-pass resolution now prioritizes filename stem (strongest) over
alias over title. Removes path-based matching (e.path.endsWith). Legacy

This matches the flat vault convention where filename IS the note's
identity — filename stem is always slugify(title).

Root cause: handleCreateNoteForRelationship used `await persistNewNote()`
which forced an early React flush. The subsequent frontmatter update
(onAdd/onAddProperty) triggered setTabs in a microtask that collided with
the render batch, causing a radix-ui infinite setState loop
("Maximum update depth exceeded") and a blank white screen.
Two fixes applied:
1. Make handleCreateNoteForRelationship synchronous (fire-and-forget
persistence) to keep all state updates batched — mirrors the working
handleCreateNoteImmediate pattern.
2. Defer onAdd/onAddProperty via setTimeout(0) so the frontmatter update
runs after the tab-switch render completes, avoiding the radix-ui
ref composition loop.

Root cause: Tauri's dragDropEnabled (default: true) intercepts drag events
at the webview level, preventing HTML5 DnD from working for tab reorder

Three fixes for the image drop overlay interference:
1. Block handle clipping: Add padding (0 4px) to editor container so
BlockNote's side menu (42px) fits within the overflow clip edge.
overflow-y:auto forces overflow-x:auto (CSS spec), which was clipping
the menu 2px past the container's left boundary.
2. Block handle click interference: Extract isInteractiveTarget() to
exclude .bn-side-menu from handleContainerClick — prevents the
container from stealing focus when clicking drag handle or add button.
3. Internal drag isolation: Track document-level dragstart/dragend to
flag internal HTML5 drags (tabs, blocks). Tauri onDragDropEvent
handler skips entirely during internal drags to prevent interference.
Extract useInternalDragFlag() and handleTauriDrop() to keep
useImageDrop under CodeScene complexity threshold.

useBulkActions was embedded in App.tsx with zero test coverage. It handles
bulk archive, trash, and restore operations — all with partial-failure
semantics and toast messaging.
Extract to src/hooks/useBulkActions.ts and add 15 unit tests covering:
- Plural/singular toast messages ("2 notes archived" vs "1 note archived")
- Partial failures: only successful operations counted in toast
- All-failure case: no toast shown
- Empty array: no operations called, no toast
Risk mitigated: silent bugs in batch operations (wrong count in toast,
toast shown when nothing succeeded, partial failure not handled).

Validates that all 140 CSS custom properties from the expanded
DEFAULT_VAULT_THEME_VARS are applied to the DOM when a theme is
activated, including editor, heading, list, checkbox, inline-style,
code-block, blockquote, table, and horizontal-rule properties.
Also updates mock content and handlers to use the full 140-property
frontmatter, matching the Rust backend output.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously, only UI chrome colours and 3 editor vars were written to
theme note frontmatter. CSS vars like --lists-bullet-size, --headings-h1-font-size,
etc. remained unset, so EditorTheme.css rules had no effect.
- Expand DEFAULT_VAULT_THEME_VARS from 46 to 140 entries, covering every
property from theme.json (editor, headings, lists, checkboxes, inline
styles, code blocks, blockquote, table, horizontal rule, colors)
- Fix missing px suffix on editor-font-size and editor-max-width
- Add missing semantic vars: bg-card, text-tertiary
- Refactor built-in vault themes from const strings to generated functions
with per-theme colour overrides (DRY, all themes get editor properties)
- Quote var() references in frontmatter to prevent YAML parse issues
- Add regression tests for create_vault_theme and seed_vault_themes

The snippet was extracted once at vault load time (Rust backend) and
never updated when content was saved. Notes created or edited during
a session showed stale/empty snippets until the next app restart.
Added extractSnippet() to the frontend (mirroring Rust logic) and
wired it into useEditorSaveWithLinks so snippet + wordCount are
updated alongside outgoingLinks on every save.

When toggling from raw mode back to BlockNote, the editor now correctly
re-parses content from tab.content instead of using stale cached blocks.
Key changes:
- useEditorTabSwap: detect rawMode true→false transition, invalidate
block cache, and re-parse from tab.content. Added rawSwapPendingRef
guard to prevent a second effect run from re-caching stale blocks
before the deferred doSwap microtask runs.
- useRawMode: added onBeforeRawEnd callback to flush debounced raw
editor content synchronously before toggling off.
- Editor.tsx: wired rawLatestContentRef and handleBeforeRawEnd to
ensure the latest raw content reaches tab.content before the swap.
- RawEditorView: exposed latestContentRef so parent can read the
latest keystroke content without waiting for the 500ms debounce.
- EditorContent: threaded rawLatestContentRef through to RawEditorView.

Replace mock vault approach with real filesystem I/O for integration
tests. Each test copies tests/fixtures/test-vault/ to a temp directory,
overrides mock handlers to point at it, and verifies actual file
operations through the vite dev server middleware.
Tests cover: vault loading, archive/trash filtering, note creation,
rename with filesystem update, wikilink cascade on rename, relationship
display, and real file content loading.
Also extends vite.config.ts vault API middleware with write endpoints
(save, rename, delete, search, entry) and fixes getBool to handle
YAML 1.2 string values like "Yes"/"yes" (js-yaml 4.x compatibility).

handleTitleSync now saves pending content and calls rename_note

When the editor saves content with a new H1 before triggering rename,

rapid title edits rename to final title.

When Cmd+S is pressed, after saving content, checks if the note's
title slug differs from its current filename. If so, triggers
rename_note to update the file on disk, tabs, breadcrumbs, and
wikilinks. Adds needsRenameOnSave() utility with tests.

When the note content already has the correct title but the filename

Verifies that changing a note's type preserves the editor content —
the bug caused the tab to load a different note's content after the move.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The mock handler now appends -2, -3, etc. when the target path already
exists, matching the Rust unique_dest_path logic. Previously it would
silently overwrite the existing note's content in MOCK_CONTENT.
Also adds a Rust test that verifies both the moved note and the
pre-existing note retain their respective content after a collision.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
After runFrontmatterOp updates the frontmatter and sets the tab content,
move_note_to_type_folder only changes the file location (not its content).
Re-reading via loadNoteContent(result.new_path) was redundant and dangerous:
if the path collided or a stale cache intervened, it could load a different
note's content into the tab — the root cause of the data-corruption bug.
Also fixes stale-closure issue: replaceEntry no longer spreads the captured
`entries` array (which could be stale after the await), avoiding reverting
the isA field that runFrontmatterOp already updated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: commit 4743537 added a custom Rust deserializer for
Archived/Trashed Yes/No strings but did not bump CACHE_VERSION.
Existing vaults had stale cached entries with archived: false from the
old parser, and since the cache version (5) matched, stale values were
served without re-parsing from disk.
- Bump CACHE_VERSION 5 → 6 to force full rescan on next vault load
- Add Yes/No handling to TypeScript parseScalar (Inspector display)
- Add integration tests: cached vault path with Archived/Trashed: Yes
- Add stale cache version invalidation test
- Add frontmatter.test.ts for TS Yes/No boolean parsing
- Add Playwright smoke test for archived note filtering

don't produce stale content or crash the editor.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Prefetch: content served from cache, cache cleared on vault reload,
deduplication of concurrent requests
- Optimistic rollback: trash/archive/restore/unarchive roll back
updateEntry on disk write failure with error toast
- Optimistic ordering: updateEntry called before frontmatter writes
- Rapid switching: sequence counter prevents stale active tab when
notes are opened faster than IPC resolves
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Latency root causes:
1. handleSelectNote/handleReplaceActiveTab awaited IPC before updating
activeTabPath — zero visual feedback for 50-200ms file I/O
2. Trash/archive called updateEntry AFTER two sequential IPC calls —
note stayed visible in list for 100-400ms
Optimizations:
- Content prefetch cache: hover on NoteItem and keyboard arrow
navigation pre-load note content via IPC. When user clicks, content is
already in memory — eliminates the IPC round-trip entirely.
- Optimistic trash/archive/restore/unarchive: updateEntry runs
immediately, frontmatter writes happen async. On failure, UI rolls
back and shows error toast.
- Rapid-switch safety: sequence counter (navSeqRef) ensures only the
latest navigation sets activeTabPath — prevents stale content flash
when user clicks multiple notes in quick succession.
- Prefetch cache cleared on vault reload to prevent stale content after
external edits.

The Rust YAML parser only accepted boolean values (true/false) for the
archived and trashed fields. When the vault writes Archived: Yes or
Trashed: Yes (YAML string, not boolean), serde silently returned None
and the note appeared as non-archived/non-trashed.
Add a custom deserializer that accepts both booleans and string
representations (Yes/yes/YES/true/1 → true, No/no/false/0 → false).

The vault-api proxy maps Tauri commands to HTTP endpoints when a vault

Reload Vault (Cmd+K) now calls the new `reload_vault` Tauri command which
deletes the cache file before scanning, guaranteeing a full filesystem

cache updates that could miss recent changes (e.g. trashing a note then
reloading showed stale data).

CSS zoom on document.documentElement causes a coordinate space mismatch
between mouse event clientX/Y (viewport space) and Range.getClientRects()
(CSS space), breaking CodeMirror's click-to-position mapping. The previous
requestMeasure() fix only recalibrated cached geometry, not this mismatch.

browser's native, zoom-aware API — with coord-adjustment fallback.

The AI chat panel (AiPanel → useAiAgent) was sending each message as a
standalone request with no prior context. Root cause: useAiAgent.sendMessage

- Add agentMessagesToChatHistory() to convert AiAgentMessage[] to ChatMessage[]
- Embed trimmed history in each agent request via formatMessageWithHistory
- Use messagesRef/statusRef to avoid stale closures in async callbacks

The Rust parser now treats `type:` as the canonical frontmatter field
for entity type, with `Is A:` and `is_a:` accepted as legacy aliases.
Previously it was the other way around, creating an asymmetric
read/write cycle since the frontend and all 8800+ vault notes already
use `type:`.
- Flip serde attribute: rename="type", alias="Is A", alias="is_a"
- Update theme defaults, getting-started vault, and type definitions

- Update mock data and TypeScript tests to use canonical form

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
Claude Code must also test with pnpm tauri dev (not just Playwright)
when the task touches: filesystem, AI context pipeline, MCP server,
git integration, or native Tauri commands.
Playwright tests mock-tauri handlers — they cannot catch bugs in the
real file read/write layer. Phase 1b closes this gap.
Lesson from ai-chat-empty-body: bug was in MCP server reading from disk,
invisible to Playwright. Phase 1b would have caught it in attempt 1.
Add searchRank/bestSearchRank utilities that compute a tier (0=exact,
1=prefix, 2=fuzzy-only). Both useNoteSearch and WikilinkChatInput now
sort by rank tier first, then by fuzzy score, ensuring notes with exact
title or alias matches always surface above partial/fuzzy matches.

- Require Claude Code to write a new task-specific Playwright test for
every task (not just run existing smoke tests)
- Test must fail before fix and pass after — proves coverage
- Clarify that Phase 1 is Claude Code's quality gate, not Brian's
- Brian's Phase 2 is a reinforcement check; if he finds a bug that
Phase 1 should have caught, that is a Phase 1 failure
Lesson from ai-chat-empty-body: 5 QA cycles happened because Phase 1
never verified that the AI actually received note content end-to-end.
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.
handleSelectNote and handleReplaceActiveTab now check the in-memory
allContent cache before issuing a Tauri IPC call. Cache hits open the
tab synchronously (zero latency). Cache misses fall back to the disk
read and populate allContent via onContentLoaded so subsequent opens
of the same note are instant.

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
Remove hardcoded /Users/luca/Laputa/ paths from resolveNewNote,
resolveNewType, and resolveDailyNote. All three now accept a vaultPath
parameter and build paths relative to the active vault. Added vaultPath
to NoteActionsConfig so the hook passes it through to all callers.

Convention over configuration principle explicitly noted as serving
AI-readability: shared conventions make vaults navigable by AI agents

contextRef (useRef) was initialized at mount time and synced via useEffect,
which runs after paint. If contextPrompt was empty at mount (tab content
not yet loaded), sendMessage could read stale/empty context during the
window between paint and effect. Removing the ref and reading contextPrompt
directly in the useCallback closure eliminates the race entirely.

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.

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
Three root causes identified and fixed:
1. JS semantics bug: `activeNoteContent ?? allContent[path]` used nullish
coalescing (`??`) which does NOT fall through on empty string ''. When
handleEditorChange temporarily overwrites tab.content with frontmatter-
only content during async content swaps, activeNoteContent becomes ''
and the fallback to allContent never triggers. Fix: change `??` to `||`.
2. Defence-in-depth: when body is still empty after fallback (Tauri mode
where allContent is {}), but wordCount > 0, the body field now includes
an explicit get_note instruction instead of being empty. This is more
reliable than the preamble instruction that Claude may skip.
3. Rust strip_frontmatter used `rest.find("---")` which matches `---`
anywhere in text (including inside frontmatter values like `title:
foo---bar`). Fixed to use `rest.find("\n---")` for line-boundary
matching. This ensures accurate wordCount for the fallback heuristic.

Flush unsaved editor content to disk before any trash or archive
operation (both single-note and bulk) so body edits are never silently
dropped when only frontmatter is updated.
- Add flushEditorContent utility that checks pending content ref, then
falls back to comparing tab content with last-saved state
- Add onBeforeAction callback to useEntryActions, called before
handleTrashNote and handleArchiveNote
- Wire flushBeforeAction in App.tsx using refs for stable closures
- Add error handling in useBulkActions so one failed save doesn't
block remaining notes
- Extract findOrCreateType helper to reduce useEntryActions complexity
- Export persistContent from useSaveNote for reuse

The frontend writes 'archived: true' (lowercase) via handleUpdateFrontmatter,
but the Rust parser only recognized 'Archived' (titlecase). This caused all
notes archived from within Laputa to be read back as not archived — they
continued appearing in the sidebar and note list after restart.
Fix: add alias = "archived" to the serde attribute, matching the pattern
already used for 'trashed'/'Trashed'.
Regression tests added for both lowercase and titlecase variants.
The body field in buildContextSnapshot was passing the full raw file
content (including YAML frontmatter delimiters) instead of just the
body text. When handleEditorChange reconstructed tab content with empty
blocksToMarkdownLossy output, the body became frontmatter-only — causing
the AI to report "has frontmatter but no body content."
Three changes:
1. Strip frontmatter from body using splitFrontmatter before setting the
body field (frontmatter is already a separate parsed field)
2. Add wordCount to the context snapshot so the AI can detect when body
is stale vs genuinely empty
3. Instruct the AI to call get_note MCP tool when body is empty but
wordCount > 0, providing a safety net for any content staleness

- .claude-pid: Claude Code runtime PID file, not repo content
- .laputa-index.json: generated search index, must not be committed
- *.key / *.key.pub: blanket guard against future signing key commits
Previous keypair was accidentally committed to git history.
New keypair generated, GitHub Secrets updated, pubkey rotated in tauri.conf.json.
Old key is now invalid for signing — any releases must use the new key.
handleContentChange now syncs content to tab state on every editor
change (not just on Cmd+S save). This ensures the AI panel's context
snapshot always contains the current editor body, fixing the bug where
the AI reported empty note bodies for unsaved edits.
Root cause: pendingContentRef buffered content for save but never
updated notes.tabs[].content, so activeTab?.content (used by the AI
context builder) always reflected the last-saved disk content.

Root cause: CSS zoom on document.documentElement caused stale CodeMirror
measurements. Two issues:
1. Race condition: zoom was applied in useEffect (parent), but CodeMirror
was created in useEffect (child) — child effects run first, so CM
measured at zoom=1 before zoom was actually applied.
2. No re-measure on zoom change: CSS zoom changes don't trigger
ResizeObserver on descendant elements, so CodeMirror never updated
its cached scaleX/scaleY, line heights, or character widths.
Fix:
- Apply zoom synchronously during useState init (before child effects)
- Dispatch 'laputa-zoom-change' event when zoom changes
- Listen for this event in useCodeMirror and call view.requestMeasure()

In Tauri mode, allContent is {} (empty) until a note is explicitly
saved. The previous mergeTabContent fix enriched allContent with tab
content, but the indirection was fragile. This fix passes the active
tab's content directly to buildContextSnapshot as activeNoteContent,
which takes priority over allContent[path]. This ensures the AI always
receives the note body regardless of allContent state.

Each CLI invocation is a fresh subprocess — --resume depends on session
persistence that doesn't reliably work with -p mode. Switch to prompt-
embedded history: prior exchanges are formatted into each request using
formatMessageWithHistory + trimHistory (already existed as dead code).
- Remove sessionIdRef and --resume session tracking
- Always send system prompt (each request is stateless)
- Split sendMessage into doSend(text, history) to handle retry correctly
- Retry now passes correct history (excludes the retried exchange)
- Tests verify history accumulation, clear, retry, and system prompt

allContent is empty ({}) in Tauri mode because loadVaultData never
populates it — note content only enters allContent on explicit save.
mergeTabContent() enriches allContent with open tab content so the AI
context snapshot always includes the active note's body.

detectFileOperation silently failed when tool input was undefined (timing
issues with NDJSON event ordering). Added onVaultChanged callback as fallback:
when Write/Edit/Bash tools complete but specific file can't be determined,
vault.reloadVault() is triggered. Also added safety net in onDone handler.
Threaded onVaultChanged through AiPanel → EditorRightPanel → Editor → App.

Root cause: buildContextSnapshot (the system prompt used when a note is
active — the common case) did NOT instruct the AI to use [[wikilinks]].
Only buildAgentSystemPrompt (the fallback when no context) had it.
So the AI almost never produced clickable wikilinks.
Fix: Add the [[Note Title]] wikilink instruction to
buildContextSnapshot's preamble.
The click handler chain was already correct (verified with new
integration tests): MarkdownContent → AiMessage → AiPanel →
notes.handleNavigateWikilink → findWikilinkTarget → handleSelectNote.
Tests added:
- Unit: buildContextSnapshot includes wikilink instruction
- Integration: clicking wikilinks in AiPanel calls onOpenNote
- Playwright: wikilink renders, click opens note in tab

The previous approach embedded conversation history as formatted text
in the prompt (<conversation_history> tags). The claude CLI's -p flag
treats this as a single user turn, losing turn boundaries — so the
model had no real multi-turn context.
Switch to using --resume with the session_id returned by the CLI's
init event. This lets the CLI manage conversation state natively:
- First message starts a new session (with system prompt)
- Subsequent messages resume via --resume (no system prompt needed)
- Clear and retry reset the session_id for a fresh start
Extract makeStreamCallbacks() to keep useAIChat complexity below
CodeScene threshold.

Previously called 'qmd update' and 'qmd embed' without arguments, which
updated all global qmd collections. If any other collection had a broken
path, the entire indexing would fail.
Now passes the vault name explicitly:
qmd update <vault_name>
qmd embed -c <vault_name>
This makes reindex independent of other qmd collections on the system.
AiPanel.handleNavigateWikilink was double-resolving: it resolved the
wikilink target to an entry path, then passed the path to onOpenNote
which is notes.handleNavigateWikilink (expects a title-based target).
The path didn't match any entry's title, so navigation silently failed.
Fix: pass the wikilink target string directly to onOpenNote, letting
the parent's handleNavigateWikilink do the resolution.
Also enhanced the Playwright smoke test to verify click → tab opens.

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.

Root causes:
- toolInputMapRef in useAiAgent was overwritten by tool_progress events
(which arrive with input=undefined AFTER the assistant message set
the full input), causing detectFileOperation to receive undefined
and skip file creation detection entirely.
- MCP open_note only broadcast open_tab without vault_changed, so
the note list didn't refresh when Claude Code called open_note.
- detectFileOperation only handled Write/Edit but not Bash commands
that create .md files via redirects.
Fixes:
- Preserve accumulated input in toolInputMapRef (input ?? prev?.input)
- MCP open_note now broadcasts vault_changed before open_tab
- detectFileOperation now detects Bash redirect patterns (>, >>, tee)

The AI chat was using both --resume (CLI session resumption) AND formatted
conversation history in the prompt simultaneously. This dual-context approach
confused the model — it saw the conversation twice (from session + from prompt
markup), leading to "I don't have context" responses on follow-ups.
Fix: remove --resume entirely from chat mode. Each CLI call is now independent,
with full conversation history formatted into the prompt via
<conversation_history> markup. trimHistory handles graceful truncation.

Root cause: clicking a note in Pulse used an inline arrow function that:
1. Was recreated on every render (new prop ref → PulseView memo bypassed)
2. Called vault.reloadVault() (full 9000-note rescan) when path didn't match
Fix:
- Add entriesByPath Map (useMemo) — O(1) lookups instead of O(n) .find()
- Add handlePulseOpenNote (useCallback) — stable ref, never triggers reloadVault
(Pulse notes always exist in vault; no reload needed)
- Wire PulseView to handlePulseOpenNote instead of inline arrow
- Also use entriesByPath in openNoteByPath (MCP bridge)

## ⛔ BEFORE FIRING laputa-task-done — Two-phase QA (mandatory)
## ⛔ BEFORE FIRING laputa-task-done — Two-phase QA
### Phase 1: Playwright browser QA (headless, you do this yourself)
### Phase 1: Playwright (you do this)
Test every acceptance criterion using Playwright against the dev server **before** marking done. This catches 80% of bugs before Brian sees them.
Write a test in `tests/smoke/<slug>.spec.ts` that covers every acceptance criterion. The test must fail before your fix and pass after. Run it:
```bash
# 1. Start the dev server (use your worktree port)
pnpm dev --port <N> &
DEV_PID=$!
sleep 3# wait for vite to be ready
# 2. Run Playwright smoke test for this task
BASE_URL="http://localhost:<N>" npx playwright test tests/smoke/<slug>.spec.ts
BASE_URL="http://localhost:5201" npx playwright test tests/smoke/<slug>.spec.ts
```
**What to test in Playwright:**
- Every command palette entry from the spec → open `Cmd+K`, type the command name, verify it appears and executes
- Every keyboard shortcut → send keydown events, verify UI state changes
- Every UI element described in the spec → verify it renders, is focusable, responds to Tab
- Edge cases: empty state, long text, rapid keypresses
**If your task touches filesystem, git, AI, MCP, or any native Tauri command**: also test with `pnpm tauri dev` against `~/Laputa` (not demo vault). Use `osascript` keyboard events — no mouse, no `cliclick`.
**Playwright is non-negotiable even if tests pass.** Unit tests verify code; Playwright verifies the user experience in the real browser. Both are required.
### Phase 2: Native QA (Brian does this after push)
> **⚠️ Browser dev server limits**: the dev server uses mock Tauri handlers (`src/mock-tauri.ts`) — file system operations, git commands, and native dialogs are mocked. Test those via `pnpm tauri dev` in Phase 2 if the task touches them.
Brian installs the release build and runs keyboard-only QA. Phase 1 must pass first or the task goes to To Rework.
### Phase 2: Native Tauri QA (Brian does this after you push)
Fire done signal only after Phase 1 passes — **two steps, both required**:
Brian installs the release build and runs keyboard-only QA on the native app. You don't do Phase 2 — but Phase 1 must pass before you fire the done signal, or Brian's QA will fail and the task goes back to To Rework.
7. If QA fails → fix and re-run. Do NOT fire the signal until it passes.
**⚠️ QA ≠ tests. QA means using the app as a user.**
- "Tests pass" is NOT QA. Tests verify code, QA verifies the user experience.
- The QA comment must describe what you did as a user: "Opened app → Cmd+K → typed 'Trash' → pressed Enter → note disappeared from list → restarted app → note still not visible"
- Every QA comment must include: the exact keyboard/command palette steps used, what was visible before and after, and any edge case tested.
- If you cannot test a feature using keyboard only (osascript shortcuts + command palette), the feature is not keyboard-first → QA fails.
**⚠️ Test in a clean environment when the feature depends on state.**
If a feature involves indexing, fresh installs, first-time setup, or anything that only runs once:
- **Do not test in the existing dev vault** — it already has the state you're trying to test.
- **Create a new empty vault** for the test: Cmd+K → "New Vault" (or equivalent), pick a temp folder like `/tmp/test-vault-<slug>`, then test the full first-time flow from scratch.
- This applies to: search indexing, vault init, getting-started setup, any "on first open" logic.
- If you can't reproduce the fresh-install scenario locally, the feature is untestable → do not fire done.
Fire done signal only after QA passes:
```bash
rm -f /tmp/laputa-qa.lock
openclaw system event --text "laputa-task-done:<task_id>:<slug>" --mode now
# 1. Move task to In Review on Todoist
curl -s -X POST "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/tasks/<task_id>/move"\
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY"\
-H "Content-Type: application/json"\
-d '{"section_id": "6g3XjX33FF4Vj86M"}'
# 2. Notify Brian
openclaw system event --text "laputa-task-done:<task_id>" --mode now
```
## ⛔ CODE HEALTH — No shortcuts
If `pre_commit_code_health_safeguard` flags a file:
- **Understand why** — use `code_health_review` via CodeScene MCP
- Fix the structural problem (extract hooks, split components, reduce complexity)
- **Never** add a JSDoc comment, `#[allow(...)]`, `// eslint-disable`, or `as any` just to pass the gate
- It's fine to take longer. False quality is worse than no quality.

## Project
Tauri v2 + React + TypeScript desktop app. Reads a vault of markdown files with YAML frontmatter.
- **Never develop on `main`** — always on `task/<slug>` branch
- **Commit every 20–30 min** — atomic commits, one concern per commit (`feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `docs:`)
- **Update docs/** when changing architecture, abstractions, or significant design
- **Push directly to main** — no PRs ever. The pre-push hook runs all checks.
- **⛔ NEVER open a PR** — branches diverge and cause rebase churn.
- **⛔ NEVER use --no-verify**
- Commit every 20–30 min: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `docs:`
## TDD — Red/Green/Refactor (mandatory)
## TDD (mandatory)
**Always use test-driven development.** No production code without a failing test first.
Red → Green → Refactor → Commit. One cycle per commit. For bugs: write a failing regression test first, then fix. Exception: pure CSS/layout with no logic.
The loop:
1.**Red** — write a failing test that describes the behavior you want. Run it, confirm it fails for the right reason.
2.**Green** — write the minimum code to make the test pass. No more, no less.
3.**Refactor** — clean up the code (extract, rename, simplify) while keeping tests green.
4.**Commit** — one red/green/refactor cycle = one atomic commit.
5. Repeat.
**Test quality (Kent Beck's Desiderata):** every test must be Isolated (no shared state), Deterministic (no flakiness), Fast, Behavioral (tests behavior not implementation), Structure-insensitive (refactoring doesn't break it), Specific (failure points to exact cause), Predictive (all pass = production-ready). Fix flaky/non-deterministic tests before adding new ones. E2E tests over unit tests for user flows.
**Why this matters:**
- Forces you to think about behavior before implementation
- Produces only code that's actually needed (no speculative abstractions)
- Tests written first are always behavioral and structure-insensitive by construction
- Tiny cycles = fast feedback, smaller diffs, easier to review
## ⛔ Docs — Keep docs/ in sync
**For bug fixes:**
1. Write a failing test that reproduces the bug (this is the regression test)
2. Fix the bug until the test passes
3. Commit both together: `fix: [bug] — regression test added`
After adding a Tauri command, new component/hook, data model change, or new integration: update `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `docs/ABSTRACTIONS.md`, and/or `docs/GETTING-STARTED.md` in the same commit. Use Mermaid for diagrams (not ASCII). Exception: spatial wireframe layouts.
**For Rust:**
```bash
cargo watch -x test# run tests on every save
```
## Design File (UI tasks)
**For frontend:**
```bash
pnpm test --watch # run tests on every save
```
1. Open `ui-design.pen` first — study existing frames for visual language.
2. Design in light mode. Create `design/<slug>.pen` for the task.
3. On merge to main: merge frames into `ui-design.pen`, delete `design/<slug>.pen`.
**When to deviate:** Pure UI layout/styling work with no logic is the only exception. Everything else — hooks, utilities, Rust commands, state management — must be TDD.
## Vault Retrocompatibility
## Testing (quality bar)
Every feature that depends on vault files must auto-bootstrap: check if file/folder exists on vault open, create with defaults if missing (silent, idempotent). Register with the central `Cmd+K → "Repair Vault"` command.
- Unit tests must cover real business logic, not "component renders"
- Tests test **behavior** (what the code does), not **structure** (how it does it)
- Every bug fixed → regression test that would have caught it
- Every new feature → TDD from the start (see above)
-`pnpm test:coverage` and `cargo llvm-cov` must pass before committing
## Keyboard-First + Menu Bar (mandatory)
## Design File (every UI task)
Every task with UI changes needs a design file. Follow this process:
1.**Open `ui-design.pen` first** — study existing frames to understand the visual language, spacing, and component style before designing anything new.
2.**Design in light mode** — all existing designs use light mode. New frames must match. Never use dark mode for designs.
3.**Create `design/<slug>.pen`** for the new feature — additive only, NOT a copy of ui-design.pen.
4.**When merging to main** — merge your frames into `ui-design.pen` with proper layout:
- Place frames in a logical area (group by feature area, not stacked on top of each other)
- Leave at least 100px spacing between frames
- **Delete `design/<slug>.pen`** after merging — the frames now live in `ui-design.pen`
## Vault File Retrocompatibility (mandatory for every feature that adds vault files)
Laputa vaults are long-lived. New app versions must work on existing vaults that were created before a feature existed.
**Rule: never assume a vault file exists. Always auto-create if missing.**
Every feature that depends on a vault file or folder must:
1.**Auto-bootstrap on vault open** — check if the required file/folder exists; if not, create it with defaults. This must be silent and non-blocking.
2.**Be idempotent** — creating defaults must be safe to run multiple times (never overwrite user data).
3.**Expose a repair command** — add a `Cmd+K` command like "Restore Default Themes" or "Repair Vault Config" that explicitly re-creates missing files. Users can run this if something is broken.
**General "Repair Vault" command** — when adding a new vault file dependency, register it with the central repair system so that `Cmd+K → "Repair Vault"` fixes everything in one shot.
**Pattern:**
```
on vault open:
if file X does not exist → create X with defaults ← silent auto-repair
if file X exists but is malformed → log warning, use defaults (don't crash)
on "Repair Vault" command:
for each known vault file/folder:
if missing → create with defaults
if present → leave untouched (idempotent)
```
This principle applies to: themes, config files, type files, any `.laputa/` subfolder, or any file Laputa expects to find in a vault.
Every feature must be reachable via keyboard. Every new command palette entry must also appear in the macOS menu bar (File / Edit / View / Note / Vault / Window). This is a QA requirement.
## macOS / Tauri Gotchas
-`Option+N` on macOS → special chars (`¡`, `™`), not `key:'N'`. Use `e.code` or `Cmd+N`.
- Tauri menu accelerators: use`MenuItemBuilder::new(label).accelerator("CmdOrCtrl+1")` — decorative text in labels doesn't register shortcuts.
-`Option+N` → special chars on macOS. Use `e.code` or `Cmd+N`.
- Tauri menu accelerators: `MenuItemBuilder::new(label).accelerator("CmdOrCtrl+1")`.
-`app.set_menu()` replaces the ENTIRE menu bar — include all submenus.
-`mock-tauri.ts` silently swallows Tauri calls — not a substitute for native app testing.

## Menu Bar Discoverability (mandatory for every new command)
## Documentation Diagrams
The command palette is powerful but not discoverable — users must already know a command exists to find it. The macOS menu bar is where users discover what an app can do.
**Rule: every significant command palette entry must also appear in the menu bar.**
When adding a new command to the palette:
1.**Identify the right menu bar group** — File, Edit, View, Note, Vault, or create a new group if needed
2.**Add a menu item** with the same label as the palette command
3.**Show the keyboard shortcut** next to the menu item (if one exists)
4.**If no direct shortcut exists**, still add the menu item — it's discoverable and triggers the same action
The menu bar should be organized around what Laputa does:
- **File** — new note, open vault, switch vault, close
**This is a QA requirement:** before marking any task done, verify that every new command palette entry has a corresponding menu bar item.
## Keyboard-First Principle (mandatory for every new feature)
Every feature must be reachable via keyboard. This is both a UX requirement and a QA requirement — Brian tests the native app using keyboard only (osascript key events, no mouse).
**Before marking any task done:**
- Can the feature be triggered/used without touching the mouse?
- If it requires clicking a button, add a command palette entry or keyboard shortcut
- Document the shortcut in the command palette or menu bar
**If you add UI that is only reachable by mouse**, you must also add a keyboard path (command palette entry, shortcut, or Tab-navigable focus). No exceptions.
## Push Workflow (IMPORTANT — changed Feb 27, 2026)
**Push directly to main** — no PRs, no branches, no CI queue.
The pre-push hook runs all checks locally before the push goes through. This replaces remote CI.
```bash
# After QA passes and you're ready to ship:
git push origin main # pre-push hook runs automatically
```
### ⛔ NEVER open a Pull Request
PRs on separate branches diverge from main with every merge, requiring continuous rebases and creating unnecessary conflicts. Always push directly to main. If the push fails (disk full, test failure, etc.) — fix the problem, then push again. There is no scenario where opening a PR is the right fallback.
### ⛔ NEVER use --no-verify
```bash
# FORBIDDEN — will be caught and rejected:
git push --no-verify
git commit --no-verify # also forbidden for pre-push bypass
```
The hook runs: tsc, Vite build, frontend tests, frontend coverage, Rust coverage, Clippy, rustfmt, CodeScene. Fix any failures before pushing — do not skip.
If a check fails, fix the issue and push again. The hook is the gate — not remote CI.

## Summary
The Laputa App codebase scores **9.33** overall — a further improvement of **+0.19** from the previous report (9.14). The codebase remains solidly in **Green**, driven by the `vault.rs` refactoring (+2.59 to 8.81) and the `frontmatter.rs` refactoring (+2.79 to 9.68, now Green). Five files remain in the Yellow zone, down from six — `frontmatter.rs` has exited Yellow into Green.
| Zone | Score Range | File Count | Description |
|------|------------|------------|-------------|
| Optimal | 10.0 | 8 | Perfect — optimized for human and AI comprehension |
| Green | 9.0 – 9.9 | 15 | High quality, minor issues only |
The following refactorings were executed on vault.rs and frontmatter.rs, raising both files significantly:
### vault.rs: 6.22 → 8.81 (+2.59)
Refactored in 5 commits across multiple phases:
1.**Extracted `run_git` helper** — Consolidated duplicated git command execution into a single helper function, flattening git functions (`git_changed_files`, `git_uncommitted_new_files`).
2.**Decomposed `parse_md_file`** — Extracted `parse_frontmatter_fields`, `extract_title`, `extract_snippet`, and `extract_relationships` into focused sub-functions. Flattened deep nesting with early returns.
3.**Decomposed `scan_vault_cached`** — Extracted `process_vault_entry`, `collect_vault_entries`, `apply_git_status`, and `build_vault_response` as focused functions.
4.**Split large test assertion blocks** — Broke monolithic assertion blocks into per-field assertions for readability and maintainability.
5.**Converted internal functions to use `&Path`** instead of `&str` for vault/file paths, reducing string-heavy arguments.
All 8 original code smells (3 Bumpy Roads, 4 Deep Nestings, 2 Complex Methods, 2 Large Methods, String-Heavy Args, Large Assertion Blocks) have been resolved. The CodeScene review now reports **zero code smells**.
### frontmatter.rs: 6.89 → 9.68 (+2.79) — Yellow → Green
Refactored in 4 commits:
1.**Flattened `update_frontmatter_content`** — Used early returns and extracted `find_key_line_range` and `build_updated_content` helpers. Eliminated bumpy road (4 bumps) and deep nesting (4 levels).
2.**Simplified `FrontmatterValue::to_yaml_value`** — Extracted `needs_yaml_quoting` predicate, simplified match arms. Reduced cc from 17.
3.**Simplified `format_yaml_key`** — Extracted key-quoting rules into `key_needs_quoting` predicate. Reduced complex conditionals from 5.
4.**Extracted line-parsing helpers** — `line_is_key` and related helpers for clean YAML line detection.
All original code smells (1 Bumpy Road, 1 Deep Nesting, 2 Complex Methods, 4 Complex Conditionals) have been resolved. Only one minor issue remains: **String Heavy Function Arguments** (73% of args are string types).
The core `Editor` component function remains a **Brain Method** — the single worst function in the codebase at cc=61 and 385 LoC (3.2x the 120 LoC limit).
Extracted from App.tsx. Contains the `updateMockFrontmatter` function which has deep nesting, plus the `useNoteActions` hook itself is still too large.
New file (mock AI chat feature). Already showing signs of complexity that should be addressed early.
**Code Smells Found:**
| Smell | Location | Details | Severity |
|-------|----------|---------|----------|
| Complex Method | `AIChatPanel` (L62–364) | cc = 15 | Medium |
| Large Method | `AIChatPanel` (L62–364) | 285 LoC (limit: 120) | Medium |
---
### 5. `src-tauri/src/vault.rs` — Score: 8.81
Dramatically improved from 6.22. The CodeScene review reports **zero code smells** after the refactoring. The file is near the Green threshold (9.0) and may only need minor adjustments to cross it.
---
## Quick Wins (Low Effort, High Impact)
### 1. Decompose `Editor` into hooks (highest ROI)
**File:** `src/components/Editor.tsx` | **Impact:** cc 61 -> ~10 per hook
-`src/components/Inspector.tsx` — 9.02 (dramatically improved from 7.49)
---
## What Worked Since Last Report
The following refactorings from the Feb 17 recommendations were executed:
1.**App.tsx decomposition** (Plan C) — Extracted `useNoteActions`, `useVaultLoader`, and other hooks. App dropped from cc=56/381 LoC to cc=16/130 LoC. Score: 7.13 -> 9.28.
1.**Editor.tsx** — DiffView and wikilinks were extracted, but the core Editor function was NOT decomposed into hooks. It's now the worst function (cc=61, 385 LoC). Hook extraction (useEditorExtensions, useEditorContent, useEditorKeymap) is the next high-impact target.

## Summary of Changes
The V2 design introduces: a **Status Bar**, **Tab Bar** in the editor, an **Info Bar** (breadcrumb + actions), restructured **Sidebar** with Phosphor icons and collapsible groups with count badges, **IBM Plex Mono** for type pills, updated **color palette** (new primary `#155DFF`, new accent colors), and several layout/spacing refinements throughout.

## Design Specs Reference (from .pen file)
### Colors Changed
| Variable | Old (Light) | New (Light) | Old (Dark) | New (Dark) |
- **Active tab**: `bg: --background`, border-right 1px `--border`, text 12px/500 `--foreground`, X close icon (14px lucide)
- **Inactive tab**: no fill, border-right + border-bottom 1px `--sidebar-border`, text 12px/normal `--muted-foreground`, X icon opacity 0 (show on hover)
> Current state: All icons use either **Phosphor Icons** (`@phosphor-icons/react`) or **Lucide React** (`lucide-react`). This document maps every icon to its SF Symbol equivalent for future migration.

## Icon Audit Summary (Phase 6 — 2026-02-17)
| Category | Count | Files | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phosphor icons | 22 | `Sidebar.tsx`, `Editor.tsx`, `NoteList.tsx`, `Inspector.tsx` | All used, migrate to SF Symbols |
| Phosphor types | 1 (`IconProps`) | `Sidebar.tsx` | Type only — replace when migrating |
| `X` (Lucide) | `xmark` | `Editor.tsx` | Tab close button | Keep Lucide or migrate |
| `Package` | `shippingbox` | `StatusBar.tsx` | App version indicator | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `GitBranch` (Lucide) | `arrow.triangle.branch` | `StatusBar.tsx` | Git branch indicator | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `RefreshCw` | `arrow.clockwise` | `StatusBar.tsx` | Sync status indicator | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `Sparkles` (Lucide) | `sparkles` | `StatusBar.tsx` | AI model indicator | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `FileText` (Lucide) | `doc.text` | `StatusBar.tsx` | Notes count indicator | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `Bell` | `bell` | `StatusBar.tsx` | Notifications (disabled placeholder) | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
| `Settings` | `gearshape` | `StatusBar.tsx` | Settings (disabled placeholder) | Keep Lucide — status bar uses Lucide per design |
### shadcn/ui Components (Keep Lucide)
These are standard shadcn/ui library components that use Lucide as their built-in icon system. These should **not** be migrated — they are part of the component library's internal implementation.
| `CircleIcon` | `ui/dropdown-menu.tsx` | Radio item indicator |
| `XIcon` | `ui/dialog.tsx` | Dialog close button |

## Approach Options for SF Symbols in React/Tauri
### Option 1: `sf-symbols-react` npm package
- **Pros**: Drop-in React components, familiar API (`<SFSymbol name="magnifyingglass" />`)
- **Cons**: Third-party package, may lag behind Apple's symbol updates, limited weight/rendering options
- **Status**: Check npm for current maintenance state before adopting
### Option 2: SVG extraction from SF Symbols app
- **Pros**: Exact Apple-quality vectors, no runtime dependency, full control over styling
- **Cons**: Manual export process per icon, potential licensing concerns (SF Symbols license restricts use to Apple platforms), need to manage SVG sprite or individual files
- **How**: Export SVGs from the SF Symbols macOS app, create a `src/icons/` directory with individual SVG components or a sprite sheet
### Option 3: Apple's SF Symbols font (native approach via Tauri)
- **Pros**: Pixel-perfect on macOS, automatic weight matching, system-native feel
- **Cons**: Only works on macOS (not cross-platform), requires Tauri native font access, won't render in browser dev mode
- **How**: Use CSS `font-family: "SF Pro"` with Unicode code points, or invoke native APIs from Tauri's Rust backend
### Option 4: Hybrid — SVG in browser, native in Tauri
- **Pros**: Best of both worlds — browser dev mode uses SVGs, production Tauri build uses native SF Symbols
- **Cons**: More complex build setup, need to maintain two icon systems
- **How**: Build an `<Icon>` wrapper component that checks `window.__TAURI__` and renders native or SVG accordingly
### Recommendation
**Option 2 (SVG extraction)** is the most practical starting point:
- Laputa is a macOS-only Tauri app, so SF Symbols licensing applies (Apple platform)
- SVGs work in both browser dev mode and Tauri production
- No third-party dependency to maintain
- Can later upgrade to Option 4 (hybrid native) for perfect macOS integration
---
## Migration Steps (Future)
1. Export all needed SF Symbol SVGs from the SF Symbols macOS app
2. Create `src/icons/sf-symbols/` with a React component per icon (or a single sprite)
3. Build a thin `<SFIcon name="..." size={} />` wrapper for consistent API
Laputa is a personal knowledge base where humans and AI agents collaborate as equals.
---
## Core principles
### 1. The vault is the source of truth
Everything lives in the vault as plain text files. Notes, relations, configuration, instructions — all Markdown with YAML frontmatter. No proprietary database, no hidden state. If you can open a terminal, you can read your vault. If you can write Markdown, you can modify it.
### 2. Vault-native configuration
Laputa configures itself through files inside the vault — the same files you write and read every day. There is no separate "settings app" or admin panel. If you want to change a theme, you edit a note. If you want to give instructions to an AI agent, you write a note. If you want to define a template, you create a note.
This applies to:
- **`_themes/`** — themes as notes with a YAML block in the body. Edit `_themes/dark.md`, see the colors change in real time.
- **`AGENTS.md`** — instructions for AI agents. Write what you want them to know about your vault in plain language. They read it before acting.
- **`_templates/`** — note templates per type. Create `_templates/event.md` and every new event starts from that structure.
- **`_procedures/`** — recurring tasks as notes with a `schedule` frontmatter field.
The principle: **if it can be expressed in frontmatter + Markdown, it doesn't need a UI**.
### 3. Structure through types, not folders
Notes have a `type` field. Types determine folders, icons, and colors — but the structure is defined by the data, not the filesystem hierarchy. You can query "all events in February" without knowing anything about folder layout.
Relations between notes are expressed as frontmatter arrays: `people: [Marco, Sara]`. A wikilink `[[Marco]]` in the body navigates to the person note. The graph emerges from the data, not from a separate graph database.
### 4. The file is the interface
You can use Laputa's UI, or you can open a terminal. Or a text editor. Or Claude Code. They all operate on the same files. There is no difference between "the app" and "the vault" — the vault is the app.
This is why Laputa has an MCP server: external agents get the same tools the in-app AI panel uses. The interface is a convenience, not a requirement.
### 5. Humans and AI as collaborators
Pulse — the activity feed — shows the history of the vault without distinguishing between human commits and agent commits. That's intentional. Laputa is designed to be a space where you and your AI agents work together, each contributing to the same knowledge base.
The AI doesn't have a separate workspace. It works in yours.
---
## What Laputa is not
- Not a todo app (though you can use it as one)
- Not a note-taking app that syncs to the cloud (the vault is yours, sync however you want — git, iCloud, rsync)
- Not a replacement for a terminal (power users will use both)
- Not trying to abstract away git (git is a feature, not an implementation detail)
---
## The long game
A vault that grows with you for years. Events, people, projects, thoughts — all interconnected, all version-controlled, all accessible to any tool that can read a file.
Ten years from now, your vault should still be readable. Plain text is forever.
