fix: show types with 0 notes in sidebar by iterating typeEntryMap

Types created via "Create Type" now appear in the sidebar immediately, even before any notes of that type exist. The buildDynamicSections function now adds all active (non-trashed/archived) type definitions from typeEntryMap to the active types set, using name === entry.title guard to avoid duplicate entries from lowercase aliases.

fix: wrap title + editor in editor-content-wrapper for consistent horizontal padding

+title: "Trash auto-purge safety model"
+status: active
+date: 2026-04-05
+---
+
+## Context
+
+The Trash view already shows a "Notes trashed more than 30 days ago will be permanently deleted" warning, but the app never actually enforces this. Users expect trashed notes to be cleaned up automatically after 30 days — if we advertise it, we must implement it.
+
+This is one of the most dangerous operations in the app: a bug could cause irreversible data loss. The safety model must be explicit and conservative.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Auto-purge trashed notes older than 30 days on app launch and window focus (max once per hour), using OS trash (`trash::delete`) for soft-deletion, with mandatory 5-point safety validation per file and an audit log at `.laputa/purge.log`.**
+
+### Safety checks (all must pass before deleting any file)
+
+1. `_trashed: true` (or legacy aliases `Trashed`, `trashed`) is present in frontmatter and set to a truthy value
+2. `_trashed_at` (or legacy aliases `Trashed at`, `trashed_at`) is present and parseable as a date
+3. The parsed date is **strictly more than 30 days ago** (exactly 30 days = skip)
+4. The file exists on disk at the expected path
+5. The file's canonical path is inside the vault root (prevents path traversal)
+
+If any check fails, the file is skipped with a warning log. The purge never aborts early — it processes all candidates independently.
+
+### Deletion method
+
+Use the `trash` crate (`trash::delete`) to move files to the OS trash (macOS Trash, Windows Recycle Bin) instead of `fs::remove_file`. This gives users a last-resort recovery path. If OS trash fails, fall back to `fs::remove_file` and log a warning.
+
+### Trigger conditions
+
+- On app launch (in `run_startup_tasks`)
+- On window focus (`WindowEvent::Focused(true)`) — throttled to max once per hour using a `Mutex<Instant>` timestamp
+
+### Audit log
+
+Every purge run appends to `.laputa/purge.log` with timestamp, files checked count, files purged count, and each purged file path. Users can inspect this file to audit what was deleted and when.
+
+## Options considered
+
+- **Option A — OS trash via `trash` crate** (chosen): moves to OS trash, user can recover from Trash app. Adds a ~small dependency. Safe default.
+- **Option B — `fs::remove_file` (permanent)**: simpler, no dependency, but no recovery path. Too risky for an automatic background operation.
+- **Option C — Move to `.laputa/purged/` archive folder**: custom recovery mechanism, but clutters vault directory and users wouldn't know to look there.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Users get the auto-cleanup behavior already advertised in the UI
+- Accidentally trashed notes have a second chance via OS Trash
+- The `trash` crate adds a platform-specific dependency (macOS: `NSFileManager`, Windows: `IFileOperation`, Linux: freedesktop spec)
+- The hourly throttle prevents excessive disk I/O on rapid focus/unfocus cycles
+- The purge log provides auditability but will grow over time (acceptable for a text log)
+- Re-evaluate if users report OS Trash filling up with vault files

+title: "Reactive vault state: editor changes propagate immediately to all UI"
+status: active
+date: 2026-04-05
+---
+## Context
+
+When a user edits frontmatter in the raw editor (or BlockNote preserves it), changes to metadata fields like `title`, `type`, `_favorite`, `_archived`, and `sidebar_label` must be reflected immediately across all UI components — sidebar sections, note list, breadcrumb bar, inspector, and tabs.
+
+Previously, after `save_note_content`, only derived fields (`outgoingLinks`, `snippet`, `wordCount`) were updated in `vault.entries`. Frontmatter-derived fields were stale until a full vault reload.
+
+## Decision
+
+**All frontmatter changes are parsed in real-time and applied to `vault.entries` via `updateEntry()` during content editing, not after save.**
+
+### How it works
+
+1. **On every content change** (keystroke in raw editor, or BlockNote onChange), `useEditorSaveWithLinks.handleContentChange` is called.
+2. It invokes `contentToEntryPatch(content)` which parses frontmatter and maps known keys to `VaultEntry` fields.
+3. If the parsed patch differs from the previous one, `updateEntry(path, patch)` merges it into `vault.entries`.
+4. All UI components derive from `vault.entries` via React reactivity — they re-render automatically.
+
+### Mapped fields
+
+`contentToEntryPatch` maps these frontmatter keys to `VaultEntry` fields:
+
+| Frontmatter key | VaultEntry field | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `title` | `title` | |
+| `type` / `is_a` | `isA` | |
+| `status` | `status` | |
+| `_favorite` | `favorite` | |
+| `_favorite_index` | `favoriteIndex` | |
+| `_archived` / `archived` | `archived` | |
+| `_trashed` / `trashed` | `trashed` | |
+| `_organized` | `organized` | |
+| `color` | `color` | Type entries |
+| `icon` | `icon` | Type entries |
+| `order` | `order` | Type entries |
+| `sidebar_label` | `sidebarLabel` | Type entries |
+| `visible` | `visible` | Type entries |
+| `template` | `template` | Type entries |
+| `sort` | `sort` | Type entries |
+| `view` | `view` | Type entries |
+| `aliases` | `aliases` | |
+| `belongs_to` | `belongsTo` | |
+| `related_to` | `relatedTo` | |
+
+### Inspector operations use a separate, more direct path
+
+When the user edits frontmatter via the Inspector panel, `runFrontmatterAndApply` calls the Tauri command and immediately applies the result via `updateEntry()`. This path was already reactive before this ADR.
+
+### View files (.yml)
+
+View files are not markdown notes — they have no frontmatter delimiters. When a `.yml` file is saved, `onNotePersisted` triggers `reloadViews()` to refresh the sidebar view list.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Any new frontmatter key that should affect the UI must be added to `frontmatterToEntryPatch` and its delete counterpart.
+- Components must read note metadata from `vault.entries` (via props), never from local state that could diverge.
+- The `reload_vault_entry` Tauri command exists for full re-parsing from disk but is not needed in the normal editing flow — `contentToEntryPatch` handles it client-side.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Test	1930e7132b	fix: show types with 0 notes in sidebar by iterating typeEntryMap Types created via "Create Type" now appear in the sidebar immediately, even before any notes of that type exist. The buildDynamicSections function now adds all active (non-trashed/archived) type definitions from typeEntryMap to the active types set, using name === entry.title guard to avoid duplicate entries from lowercase aliases.

Test	52a673e16e	feat: auto-purge notes trashed 30+ days ago on app launch Implement silent background cleanup of notes that have been in trash for more than 30 days, fulfilling the promise already shown in the Trash view UI. Safety model (all 5 checks must pass per file): - _trashed: true in frontmatter - _trashed_at present and parseable as date - Date strictly >30 days ago - File exists on disk - File path inside vault root Uses trash::delete (OS trash) with fs::remove_file fallback. Triggers on app launch and window focus (max once/hour). Audit log at .laputa/purge.log. Dry-run mode for testing. Also fixes pre-commit hook to read CodeScene thresholds from .codescene-thresholds instead of hardcoded values, matching the ratchet mechanism documented in CLAUDE.md. ADR-0042 documents the safety model. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-05 05:53:50 +02:00
Test	fe44153ac6	fix: exclude non-markdown files from Inbox view Added isMarkdown check to isInboxEntry so .yml, .json, and binary files no longer appear in the Inbox. All other views (All Notes, Archive, Trash, Sections, Views) already filter by markdown. FOLDERS still shows all file types.

Test	088e0bca8e	feat: show YAML name field as title for .yml files in breadcrumb bar When a .yml file is opened in the raw editor, the breadcrumb bar now shows the YAML `name` field (e.g., "Active Projects") instead of the filename. Falls back to filename if no name field is present. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-05 04:19:14 +02:00

Test	917773bc4c	feat: GitHub Desktop-style Changes view — filenames, status icons, auto-diff In Changes view, the note list now shows: - Filesystem filename (e.g. `my-note.md`) instead of the note title - Change type icon on the right: · (modified), + (added/untracked), − (deleted), R (renamed) - Clicking a file auto-triggers diff mode via the existing diffToggleRef Other views (Inbox, All Notes, types, folders) are unaffected.

Test	4ac2d994c1	feat: reactive vault state — editor changes propagate immediately to all UI Add title and sidebar_label mappings to contentToEntryPatch so editing these frontmatter fields in the raw editor immediately updates the note list, breadcrumb bar, sidebar sections, and inspector. Also trigger reloadViews() when .yml view files are saved, so sidebar view names update without a full vault reload. ADR-0043 documents the reactive update model.

Test	043766f86e	fix: include non-.md files in vault cache incremental updates The cache's git helper functions (collect_md_paths_from_diff, collect_md_paths_from_porcelain, git_uncommitted_files) filtered for .md files only. This meant .yml view files created by save_view were never detected by the incremental cache update, so they didn't appear in vault entries until a full rescan. Renamed the helpers to collect_paths_from_diff/collect_paths_from_porcelain and replaced the .md filter with a hidden-segment filter, matching the behavior of scan_all_files which already includes all non-hidden files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-04 23:12:33 +02:00
Test	09e8d03851	test: update Sidebar test to match new behavior — types with 0 notes shown The buildDynamicSections now includes type definitions with 0 instances. Update the 'does not show section for type with zero active entries' test to assert the new intended behavior: types with 0 notes appear in the sidebar as long as their Type definition entry exists (not trashed/archived).	2026-04-04 23:08:39 +02:00
Test	9fa1c52a96	fix: wrap SearchPanel Enter keyDown in act() to prevent flaky test The 'selects result on Enter' test could fail intermittently because fireEvent.keyDown(window) fired before the useEffect re-registered the keyboard handler after results loaded. Wrapping in act() ensures effects are flushed before the event dispatches. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-04 22:25:55 +02:00
