+# /laputa-done <task_id>
+
+Mark a Laputa task as done: add completion comment, move to In Review, notify Brian, then self-dispatch the next task.
+
+Run this after Phase 1 (Playwright) and Phase 2 (native app QA) both pass.
+
+## Steps
+
+**1. Add completion comment to the task**
+
+Summarize what was done — this is the context Luca and Brian will read in Todoist:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "task_id": "$ARGUMENTS",
+    "content": "✅ Implementation complete.\n\n**What changed:** [brief summary of the implementation]\n**ADR:** [if an ADR was created, reference it here; otherwise omit]\n**Playwright:** all tests pass\n**Native QA:** tested with pnpm tauri dev — [describe what was tested and what was observed]"
+  }'
+```
+
+**2. Move task to In Review**
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/tasks/$ARGUMENTS/move" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"section_id": "6g3XjX33FF4Vj86M"}'
+```
+
+**3. Notify Brian**
+
+```bash
+openclaw system event --text "laputa-task-done:$ARGUMENTS" --mode now
+```
+
+**4. Pick the next task**
+
+Run `/laputa-next-task` to get the next task and start working on it immediately.
+
+If `/laputa-next-task` returns `NO_TASKS` → exit cleanly. The hourly watchdog will restart you when new tasks arrive.

+# /laputa-next-task
+
+Pick the next Laputa task from Todoist and move it to In Progress.
+
+Priority order: **To Rework** first, then **Open** (sorted by Todoist priority p1→p4).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Fetch tasks from To Rework (`6g6QqvR9rRpvJWvv`), then Open (`6g3XjWR832hVHhCM`)
+2. Sort each section by priority (p1 highest)
+3. Take the first available task
+4. Move it to In Progress (`6g3XjWjfmJFcGgHM`) via Todoist API:
+
+```bash
+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": "6g3XjWjfmJFcGgHM"}'
+```
+
+5. Add a "started" comment to the task:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"task_id": "<task_id>", "content": "🚀 Starting work. [Brief description of approach or what needs to be fixed]"}'
+```
+
+6. Fetch the full task details (description, comments) from Todoist:
+
+```bash
+curl -s "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY"
+
+curl -s "https://api.todoist.com/api/v1/comments?task_id=<task_id>" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TODOIST_API_KEY"
+```
+
+6. For To Rework tasks: read the ❌ QA failed comment — it tells you exactly what to fix
+7. Output: task ID, title, and full description so you can start working immediately
+
+If no tasks are available in either section → output `NO_TASKS` and exit cleanly.

-**Boy Scout Rule (Robert C. Martin):** Leave every file you touch better than you found it. When working on any task:
-1. Before modifying a file, check its CodeScene health: `mcp__codescene__code_health_review`
-2. If the file has issues (complexity, duplication, large functions), fix them as part of your work
-3. After your changes, verify the file's score is higher than before: `mcp__codescene__code_health_score`
-4. The goal: every commit either maintains or raises the overall average. No commit should lower it.

- **Push directly to main** — no PRs ever. The pre-push hook runs all checks.
- **⛔ NEVER open a PR** — branches diverge and cause rebase churn.
+### Commits & pushes
+
+- Push directly to `main` — no PRs, no branches
+- Pre-push hook runs full check suite (build + tests + Playwright + CodeScene)

-## TDD (mandatory)
+### TDD (mandatory)

-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.

-**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.
+**Test quality (Kent Beck's Desiderata):** Isolated · Deterministic · Fast · Behavioral · Structure-insensitive · Specific · Predictive. Fix flaky tests before adding new ones. Prefer E2E over unit tests for user flows.

-## ⛔ Docs — Keep docs/ in sync
+### Code health (mandatory)

-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.
+Pre-commit and pre-push hooks enforce **Hotspot Code Health** and **Average Code Health** ≥ thresholds in `.codescene-thresholds`. Both gates block commit/push. Thresholds are a **ratchet** — only go up, auto-updated after each successful push. Never add `// eslint-disable`, `#[allow(...)]`, or `as any`.

-## Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+**Before every commit:**
+- `mcp__codescene__code_health_review` — check file before touching
+- `mcp__codescene__code_health_score` — verify score is higher after changes

-ADRs live in `docs/adr/`. Before making an architectural choice, check existing ADRs there first.
+**Boy Scout Rule:** every file you touch must leave with a higher score. If Average drops below 9.0, fix regressions before pushing.

-**When to create one**: storage strategy, new dependency, platform support, core abstraction change, cross-cutting concern. Use `/create-adr` for the full template and instructions.
+### Check suite (runs on every push)
+```bash
+pnpm lint && npx tsc --noEmit

+pnpm test:coverage        # frontend ≥70%

+```

-**Timing**: create the ADR **in the same commit as the code** that implements the decision — never before, never after. An ADR committed without the corresponding code is invalid.
+### Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

-**When your work supersedes an existing ADR**: do not edit the existing file — use `/create-adr` which covers the superseding flow.
+ADRs live in `docs/adr/`. Check before structural choices. Create the ADR **in the same commit as the code**. Never edit existing ADRs — create a new one that supersedes. Use `/create-adr` for template.

-**Do not create ADRs for**: bug fixes, UI styling, refactors, or test additions.
+**When to create one:** new dependency, storage strategy, platform target, core abstraction change, cross-cutting pattern. **Not for:** bug fixes, UI styling, refactors, test additions.

-## Design File (UI tasks)
+### Keep docs/ in sync

-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`.
+After 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.

-## ⛔ Never modify the user vault for testing
+---

-`~/Laputa/` is Luca's real vault. **Never create, edit, or delete notes there for testing purposes.**
+## 3. Product Rules

-Use the demo vault for all testing:
- Playwright / Vitest: use the fixtures in `tests/` or `demo-vault-v2/`
- `pnpm tauri dev` manual testing: open `demo-vault-v2/` as the vault, not `~/Laputa/`
- If a test genuinely requires the real vault (e.g. verifying git history), read only — never write
+### User vault (`~/Laputa/`)

-Any commit that touches `~/Laputa/` content is a bug. If you accidentally created test notes there, delete them before committing.
+Default to `demo-vault-v2/`. If you must use `~/Laputa/` for testing: **never commit changes** — always run `cd ~/Laputa && git checkout -- . && git clean -fd` when done.

-## Vault Retrocompatibility
+### UI design

-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.
+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 completion: merge frames into `ui-design.pen`, delete `design/<slug>.pen`

-## Keyboard-First + Menu Bar (mandatory)
+---

-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.
+## 4. Reference

-## macOS / Tauri Gotchas
+### macOS / Tauri gotchas

- `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.

+title: "Domain command builder pattern for useCommandRegistry"
+status: active
+date: 2026-03-30
+---
+
+## Context
+
+`useCommandRegistry` was a 224-line "brain method" (CodeScene hotspot) that defined all command palette commands inline: navigation, note actions, git operations, view toggles, settings, type management, and filter controls. This monolithic structure scored 39 on CodeScene's complexity scale (target: ≤9.5 for hotspots), making it increasingly hard to add new commands without touching the central file.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Split command definitions into focused domain modules under `src/hooks/commands/`, each exporting a `build*Commands(config)` factory function. `useCommandRegistry` becomes a thin assembler that calls each builder and merges the results.** Domain modules: `navigationCommands`, `noteCommands`, `gitCommands`, `viewCommands`, `settingsCommands`, `typeCommands`, `filterCommands`. Shared types live in `commands/types.ts`; public API re-exported from `commands/index.ts`.
+
+## Options considered
+
+- **Option A** (chosen): Domain builder modules — each module owns its command shape and receives typed config. `useCommandRegistry` is pure assembly. All new files score 9.58–10.0. Downside: more files to navigate.
+- **Option B**: Split by file but keep one large hook calling sub-hooks — sub-hooks still need shared state passed down, similar coupling. No real complexity win.
+- **Option C**: Register commands imperatively via a global registry — decouples callers entirely. Downside: harder to trace, no TypeScript inference at the registration site, over-engineering for current scale.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Adding a new command means editing the relevant domain module (e.g. `noteCommands.ts`) only, not touching the assembler.
+- Each domain module receives only the config it needs — explicit, typed interface, no hook dependency.
+- `useCommandRegistry` reduced from 224 lines to a thin assembler.
+- Pattern is consistent with the Rust commands/ module split (ADR-0030).
+- Re-evaluation trigger: if command count grows to the point where the assembler itself becomes a complexity hotspot.

+---
+
+## Context
+
+`src-tauri/src/commands.rs` grew to 937 lines as Tauri command handlers accumulated for vault CRUD, git/GitHub sync, AI, system, and window operations. All commands shared a single file with no domain separation, making it hard to navigate, review, and extend. The file was a CodeScene hotspot dragging down overall code health.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Replace `commands.rs` with a `commands/` module split by domain: `vault.rs`, `git.rs`, `github.rs`, `ai.rs`, `system.rs`, and `mod.rs` (shared utilities + re-exports).** Each file owns the Tauri command handlers for its domain and the `#[cfg(desktop)]` / `#[cfg(mobile)]` stubs for platform-conditional availability. `mod.rs` is kept thin (≤100 lines) with no command logic — only re-exports and shared helpers (`expand_tilde`, `parse_build_label`).
+
+## Options considered
+
+- **Option A** (chosen): Domain-based module split — mirrors the TypeScript `hooks/commands/` pattern (ADR-0029). Each file is independently reviewable and scores well on code health. Downside: more files to navigate.
+- **Option B**: Split by platform (`desktop.rs`, `mobile.rs`) — aligns with `#[cfg(...)]` guards but mixes domain concerns. Harder to find a specific command.
+- **Option C**: Keep monolith but add section comments — zero file-count cost, but doesn't solve complexity or reviewability.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `github.rs` separates GitHub OAuth/API commands from git sync commands (`git.rs`), matching the underlying Rust module split (`github/` vs `git/`).
+- Platform stubs (`#[cfg(mobile)]` error returns) live alongside the desktop implementation in the same domain file.
+- `mod.rs` re-exports all command functions so `lib.rs` `invoke_handler!` registration is unchanged.
+- New Tauri commands go into the appropriate domain file; if no domain fits, create a new one rather than putting it in `mod.rs`.
+- Re-evaluation trigger: if a single domain file (e.g. `vault.rs`) itself grows beyond ~300 lines and becomes a hotspot.

+status: active
+date: 2026-03-31
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Laputa supports opening a note in a secondary window ("Open in New Window"). The original implementation used a dedicated `NoteWindow` component — a thin shell that rendered only the editor, duplicating some App-level logic (vault loading, settings, keyboard shortcuts) in a simplified but diverging form. As the main App gained features (properties editing, zoom, command palette, keyboard shortcuts), the `NoteWindow` shell fell behind, requiring ongoing maintenance to keep parity.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Remove `NoteWindow` and render the full `App` component in secondary note windows.** The window type is detected at startup via URL query parameters (`?window=note&path=...&vault=...`). When in note-window mode, the App initialises with panels hidden (sidebar collapsed, inspector collapsed) and auto-opens the target note once vault entries load. The window title is kept in sync with the active note title via the Tauri window API.
+
+## Options considered
+
+- **Keep `NoteWindow` shell** (status quo): lower initial bundle weight per window, but divergence grows with every main-App feature. Rejected — maintenance cost dominates.
+- **Full `App` instance with URL-param mode** (chosen): complete feature parity for free; single code path for all window types. Trade-off: slightly heavier startup for secondary windows (full vault load), acceptable given local filesystem speed.
+- **IPC-driven secondary window (no vault reload)**: secondary window subscribes to primary window's vault state via Tauri events. Maximum efficiency, avoids double vault reads. Deferred — requires significant IPC plumbing; can be layered on top later without changing the rendering model.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Removes ~163 lines (`NoteWindow.tsx` deleted entirely)
+- Secondary note windows get full feature parity: all keyboard shortcuts, properties panel, zoom, command palette, diff mode, raw editor
+- `useLayoutPanels` gains an `initialInspectorCollapsed` option to support the hidden-panel initial state
+- A new `src/utils/windowMode.ts` utility encapsulates URL-param detection — single source of truth for window-type logic
+- Vault is loaded independently in each note window (no shared state with the main window); writes go to the same filesystem so eventual consistency is maintained via file-watching
+- Triggers re-evaluation if: multiple simultaneous note windows cause measurable vault-read contention, or if IPC-driven shared-state windows become a product requirement

+title: "Git actions (Changes, Pulse, Commit) in status bar, not sidebar"
+status: active
+date: 2026-03-31
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The Laputa sidebar originally surfaced git-related affordances — a "Changes" nav item (visible when modified files > 0), a "Pulse" nav item, and a "Commit & Push" button — alongside the note-type navigation filters and sections. This mixed two concerns in the sidebar: **navigation** (where to go) and **git status / actions** (what changed, what to do). As the sidebar grew, the git items created visual noise and made the nav hierarchy harder to scan.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Move Changes, Pulse, and Commit & Push out of the sidebar and into the bottom status bar.** The status bar shows a GitDiff icon with an orange count badge for modified files; a Pulse icon sits next to it. Commit & Push is accessible via an icon button beside the Changes indicator. The sidebar now contains only navigation items (filters and type sections).
+
+## Options considered
+
+- **Keep git items in sidebar** (status quo): familiar placement, visible at all times. Rejected — mixes navigation and action concerns; sidebar becomes harder to scan.
+- **Status bar** (chosen): consistent with app conventions (build number, sync status, vault switcher already live there); persistent but unobtrusive; follows macOS app patterns where status/action items live at window bottom.
+- **Toolbar / breadcrumb bar**: would require a new chrome layer or polluting the per-note breadcrumb with global git state. Rejected.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Sidebar props `modifiedCount`, `onCommitPush`, `isGitVault` removed; sidebar renders navigation-only
+- `StatusBar` gains `onClickPending`, `onClickPulse`, `onCommitPush`, `isGitVault` props
+- Sidebar tests for Changes/Pulse/Commit button removed; StatusBar tests extended
+- Users find Commit & Push in the status bar (same location as sync indicators) rather than bottom of sidebar — small discoverability change, offset by status bar being always visible regardless of sidebar collapsed state
+- Triggers re-evaluation if: user research shows git actions are hard to discover in the status bar

Test	564ca50206	fix: move 'Add icon' button above title when no emoji (Notion-style) When a note has no emoji icon, the NoteIcon area was occupying horizontal space in the title row, pushing the title text to the right. Fix: render NoteIcon in a separate div above the title row when no emoji is set, so the title starts flush with the left margin. When an emoji is present, the original inline-left layout is preserved.	2026-03-30 15:16:55 +02:00

Test	0f22475c20	fix: align title section with editor body text and stabilize top margin Apply theme CSS variables to the editor scroll area so the title section uses the same max-width as the BlockNote editor.

Test	af7d79fe44	fix: enforce min-width per column with cascade shrink on window resize Editor (400px), note list (220px), sidebar (180px), and inspector (240px) now have CSS min-width constraints. Window minWidth set to 800px in Tauri config. Flex-shrink ratios create cascade order: editor shrinks first, then note list, then sidebar.

Test	a7a61d9751	fix: resize handle fills full panel height via self-stretch The ResizeHandle div was not stretching to the full height of its flex row parent, making it only interactive in the top portion. Adding self-stretch (align-self: stretch) ensures it fills the complete cross-axis height of the container, so the user can drag at any vertical position. Fixes: Properties panel resize handle active area.	2026-03-30 07:48:48 +02:00
Test	68066b857f	fix: make breadcrumb bar draggable as window drag region Add data-tauri-drag-region to the BreadcrumbBar container so users can drag the window by clicking empty space in the breadcrumb bar. Tauri automatically excludes interactive children (buttons, links) from the drag region. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-03-30 05:59:37 +02:00
Test	858468aec6	fix: remove broken category nav strip from emoji picker The row of group icons between the search bar and emoji grid looked like selectable emoji but only scrolled to groups — confusing users who expected clicking them to select an emoji.

Test	1ae1377b2d	refactor: split useCommandRegistry into domain command builders Extract command definitions into focused domain modules under src/hooks/commands/ (navigation, note, git, view, settings, type, filter). useCommandRegistry becomes a thin assembler.

Test	adfceb3c70	fix: Properties panel — hash-based tag colors, single-item tags, chip consistency - Single-item tag arrays (e.g. Tags: [Has Pic]) now render as pills instead of plain text: detectPropertyType checks key patterns before value type - Tags get deterministic hash-based colors (one color per tag name) instead of all-blue default — manual overrides still take precedence - All chips (Type, Status, Date, Tags) share consistent sizing: 12px font, rounded-md, matching padding - Type label font-size matches other property labels (was 10px, now 12px) - Tag add button is solid muted pill instead of dashed circle Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-03-29 22:04:37 +02:00

Test	2746fb88ad	fix: replace monospaced ALL CAPS labels with Inter sentence case Remove IBM Plex Mono + text-transform: uppercase from all UI labels. CSS classes .font-mono-label and .font-mono-overline now use Inter with no text-transform. Inline monospace+uppercase styles in StatusDropdown, TagsDropdown, ReferencedByPanel, AiActionCard replaced. Tailwind uppercase removed from Sidebar, CommandPalette, PulseView, CreateNoteDialog, CreateTypeDialog. Hardcoded ALL CAPS text (COLOR, ICON, TEMPLATE) converted to sentence case.
