Test b3126044e8 refactor: flatten vault structure — simplify migration API and flatten demo vault
- 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)

Reflections

The Black Friday campaign this year was more strategic than last year's. Instead of a pure discount play, we bundled the ebook with premium — giving people a reason to upgrade that goes beyond price. Early numbers suggest it's working better than last year's approach. person-paco-furiani set up the automation so cleanly that I barely had to touch it — sign-ups flowing in, welcome emails going out, access provisioning automatic. The team is genuinely running the machine now.

The financial review numbers are staggering to me. EUR 260k from what was, not that long ago, a side project newsletter. The breakdown is healthy too — sponsorships dominate but premium and the ebook are diversifying the revenue. If the 2026 sponsor pipeline closes as projected, we'll be looking at EUR 300k+ next year. That's "hire a full-time person" territory.

Laputa v3 is getting close to something I could show other people without apologizing for it. The type creation UI was the missing piece — non-technical users (hypothetical ones, since I'm still the only user) can now define their own taxonomy without touching YAML. 2025-ship-laputa feels achievable. I've started sharing it with 3 friends who maintain large vaults. Their feedback has been encouraging: "this is what I wanted Obsidian to be." Music to my ears.
