Adds src/main/themeMenuBuilder.js — a pure module that consumes
ThemeRegistry.list() + ThemeRegistry.categories() and the injected
setTheme/getCurrentThemeId callbacks to produce the View → Theme
submenu's MenuItemTemplate[] in the same shape as the previous
hardcoded block in src/main.js:1137-1245.
- Radio-style items with checked=true on the active theme id
- Grouped by category in registry order with separators between
non-empty categories
- No Electron / electron-store imports — keeps the module pure and
unit-testable under @jest-environment node
- Tests use jest.resetModules() + per-test require to avoid the
module-cache leakage the bootstrap test surfaced in T2
Amit Haridas
Registers all 37 editor themes at startup via ThemeRegistry.bootstrap.js.
Side-effect module: requiring it populates the registry from a static
THEMES array (25 existing menu themes refactored into the registry +
12 new: Catppuccin x4, one-light, tokyo-night-storm, synthwave-84,
outrun, winter-is-coming x2, solarized-dark-hc, spring-light).
Categories split: 13 light / 22 dark / 1 high-contrast / 1 seasonal
(spring-light per spec).
Snapshot test asserts exact id order, shape validity, and category
counts. Tests use jest.resetModules() + per-test requires so the
bootstrap module re-evaluates its registration loop each run.
Amit Haridas
- 8 exports: register/unregister/list/get/categories/lightThemes/darkThemes/clear
- kebab-case id validator; category whitelist (light/dark/high-contrast/seasonal)
- duplicate-id and shape errors with descriptive messages
- pure CommonJS, no IO, no Electron deps — T2 bootstrap will register all 37 themes
- 10 Jest tests covering register/unregister/get/categories/light+dark filters
- full suite: 77 suites, 924 tests passing; lint + Prettier clean

Two step-by-step TDD plans derived from the 2026-09-14 design specs:
* theme-registry: 9 tasks, 70+ steps. Creates src/main/ThemeRegistry.js
(pure module), bootstrap with 37 themes, buildThemeMenu for main.js,
migrates 25 existing per-theme CSS blocks into src/styles/themes/<id>.css,
rewrites the renderer apply-theme function to toggle <link disabled>,
adds 12 new theme CSS files using shared token vocabulary.
* flowchart-editor: 8 tasks, 41 TDD steps. Pure renderer-side feature
(no main-process modules). Pure data store with IO injection, 5 SVG
shape functions, Mermaid translator, hand-rolled SVG canvas with
pointer events, sidebar panel wiring with debounced preview (250ms)
+ debounced persistence (500ms) + panel-scoped keyboard shortcuts.
Three minimal userData-path-validated IPC channels added for
persistence (renderer can't reach <userData> under the current
nodeIntegration:true security model without them).
Amit Haridas
Three new specs for the v4.8.0+ feature wave:
* Theme registry: replace hardcoded 25-theme menu in main.js with a pure
ThemeRegistry module + per-theme CSS file convention. Add 12 new themes
(Catppuccin x4, One Light, Tokyo Night Storm, Synthwave '84, Outrun,
Winter is Coming Light+Dark, Solarized Dark HC, Spring Light).
* ASCII art upgrade: consolidate dual implementations (standalone window
vs dead in-app modal) into a single path; add 12 hand-coded fonts +
figlet npm library for 400+ fonts; add copy/save/insert output
destinations; comprehensive tests for the previously-zero-coverage
textToASCII/createASCIIBox/getASCIITemplate machinery.
* Flow chart editor: sidebar panel with hand-rolled SVG canvas, node-graph
data model, drag/drop editing, live Mermaid source preview, undo/redo,
session persistence. Emits Mermaid which the existing preview pane
already renders natively.

Two more features from the deferred menu:
Daily-note template gallery:
- src/main/DailyNotesTemplates.js — pure module: listTemplates() /
saveTemplate() / deleteTemplate() / labelFor() with injectable IO.
- src/main/DailyNotes.js — openOrCreate() now accepts seedContent so a
non-default template can seed a NEW note (existing notes never get
clobbered).
- src/main.js — IPC channels daily-templates:list / save / delete /
apply. apply renders the chosen template (with {date}/{weekday}
substitution) and pipes through DailyNotes.openOrCreate.
- src/sidebar/daily-templates-panel.js — gallery UI: list, +New
(prompt for name + content), Use (applies to today's note),
delete (refuses to remove the last template so the default survives).
- src/renderer.js — registers the panel.
- src/index.html — icon (already added).
Pluggable DocQA engine (semantic search hook):
- src/main/SemanticEngine.js — engine interface with defaultEngine() (TF-idF,
always available) and neuralEngine() (lazy @xenova/transformers,
falls back gracefully when the dep is missing). getEngine(name)
resolves either.
- src/main/DocQA.js — ask() is now async and accepts an engine arg.
TF-idF path unchanged; neural path calls engine.rank(question, chunks)
directly. The chunk corpus is built up front regardless of engine so
ranking is consistent.
- src/main.js — doc-qa:ask IPC resolves the engine via SemanticEngine.getEngine(name)
before calling DocQA.ask. The renderer can pass {engine: 'transformers'}
to opt in once @xenova/transformers is installed.
Tests (51 new across this batch):
- tests/main/DailyNotesTemplates.test.js (18): labelFor separators /
edge cases / non-string safety, listTemplates empty / present / sort,
saveTemplate nested dir + .md extension + validation + null content,
deleteTemplate success / missing / validation.
- tests/daily-templates-panel.test.js (12): mount + empty state + list +
XSS safety, Use button (apply + error path), Delete button (success +
last-template guard), New template (save + cancel), refresh.
- tests/main/SemanticEngine.test.js (8): default engine shape + rank
matches WorkspaceSearch, getEngine for tf-idf / unknown / transformers
(graceful fallback when @xenova/transformers missing), parity check.
- DocQA: 5 new tests for engine arg (custom engine.rank called, default
fallback, neural hit shape translation); existing tests updated to
await the now-async ask().
Full suite: 76 suites, 914 tests, lint+format clean.
Activation for the neural engine:
npm install @xenova/transformers
(heavy; ~50 MiB with deps) — then 'transformers' is selectable in
doc-qa:ask. Until then, all calls use TF-idF transparently.
Amit Haridas
Daily notes panel:
- src/sidebar/daily-notes-panel.js — new sidebar panel that lists every
YYYY-MM-DD.md in the daily-notes dir (newest first), with a Today
button that creates/opens today's entry. Refresh button reloads.
Clicking a row calls onOpenFile(path). DOM is built with textContent
for dynamic fields — no XSS surface from a hostile filename.
- src/main.js — daily-notes:list IPC now returns absolute paths (joined
with the daily-notes dir) so the renderer can pass them straight to
open-file-path without re-synthesizing.
- src/renderer.js — registers the panel; icon for the daily-notes
button (calendar icon).
- src/index.html — calendar SVG icon for the daily-notes sidebar entry.
Q&A deep-link:
- src/main.js — open-file-path accepts either a string (legacy) or an
object {path, offset}. The offset is forwarded to the renderer via
file-opened.
- src/renderer.js — file-opened handler scrolls the editor to the
offset using EditorView.scrollIntoView(y: 'center') so the matching
passage lands in the middle of the visible area.
- search panel now passes {path, offset} to open-file-path so Q&A
results with chunk offsets jump straight to the passage.
Tests (12 new, tests/daily-notes-panel.test.js):
- mount, empty state, list rendering
- Today button → onOpenFile, 'Created today' / 'Today already exists' status
- error paths (openToday reject, listExisting reject, listExisting missing)
- click + Enter/Space on a row open the right path
- refresh() re-fetches, keeps status when keepStatus:true
- non-md entries filtered out
- XSS-safe textContent for dynamic data
Full suite: 73 suites, 873 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
Same handler as the global Ctrl+Alt+D shortcut — opens (or creates)
the local-date YYYY-MM-DD.md and sends a file-opened IPC to the
renderer. Mirrors the Quick Note pattern in the same submenu (global
shortcut + menu entry, both pointing at openOrCreate).
Amit Haridas
- src/utils/csv-to-table.js — pure module. Auto-detects the delimiter
(tab wins over comma; comma wins over semicolon). RFC 4180-style
parsing handles quoted fields, escaped quotes (""), and CRLF. Cells
are escaped for markdown tables (\\ for backslashes, \| for pipes,
newlines stripped). Alignment: a column is right-aligned when every
non-empty cell matches a numeric pattern AND there are ≥2 rows or
≥1 multi-character cell (single-char numbers like "1" alone are
too ambiguous to call as numeric — could be labels). Single-row input
produces a header-only table (no fabricated "Column N" labels, no
body).
- src/editor/smart-paste.js — paste handler now tries CSV first (it
needs no async), falls back to the existing URL → title flow.
Tests (30 new, tests/csv-to-table.test.js):
- detectDelimiter: tab > comma > semicolon, empty/non-string safe
- parseRows: simple, RFC 4180 quoted, escaped quotes, CRLF, multi-line
- escapeCell: pipes, backslash-first escaping, newline strip, null/number
- csvToTable: simple CSV, single-row (header-only), TSV, empty input
- alignment: numeric detection (≥2 rows OR ≥1 multi-char cell), currency,
percentages, text columns stay left
- escaping inside cells (pipes, newlines)
- ragged-row padding
- looksLikeCsv: true for tab/comma multi-row, false for single row,
column-count mismatch, prose, very short input
Full suite: 72 suites, 861 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
- src/main/UrlTitle.js — fetch a URL, return its <title>. Pure module
with injectable fetch for tests. Decodes named + numeric + hex entities
(AT&T, Café, —), strips the <title> tags, collapses
whitespace, caps the label at 200 chars. 5s timeout via AbortController,
2 MiB body cap to avoid OOM on big downloads, streaming reader with
overflow cancellation. Rejects non-http(s) URLs up front.
- src/main.js — IPC url-title:fetch proxies to fetchTitle.
- src/editor/smart-paste.js — CodeMirror 6 extension that detects
URL-only pastes (one URL, surrounded only by whitespace), inserts the
URL immediately, then async-rewrites the insertion range to
[Title](url) once the title arrives. Multi-line / prose pastes pass
through untouched.
- src/editor/codemirror-setup.js — accepts smartPasteFetcher option and
pushes the extension when provided.
- src/renderer.js — passes ipcRenderer.invoke('url-title:fetch') as
the fetcher.
- src/preload.js — url-title:fetch added to ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS.
- eslint.config.js — AbortController / TextDecoder / TextEncoder added
to globals (available in Node 20+ and Chromium).
Tests (34 new):
- tests/main/UrlTitle.test.js (24): isHttpUrl scheme filter, decodeTitle
named/numeric/hex entities + whitespace + non-string, extractTitleFromHtml
first match + case-insensitive + null fallback, fetchTitle success +
long-title cap + streaming body, all failure paths (non-http,
no-fetch, non-OK, wrong content-type, no <title>, network error,
body over maxBytes — including streaming overflow cancellation).
- tests/smart-paste.test.js (10): URL_ONLY_RE detection (bare URL,
path/query/fragment, whitespace padding, scheme rejection, embedded
rejection, empty/malformed), replacement format ([T](url), brackets
in title survive, query strings preserved).
Full suite: 71 suites, 831 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
Hovering a footnote reference (rendered by marked-footnote as
<a data-footnote-ref href="#footnote-N">) now shows a small popover
with the footnote body text, matching the UX of Typora and Obsidian.
- src/renderer/footnote-preview.js — pure DOM module. Mounts a single
popover once per preview pane; mouseover delegates via Element.closest()
to the ref, lookups the matching <li id="footnote-N"> in the same pane,
strips the backref ↩, and positions above/below the cursor with edge
clamping. CSS.escape() fallback for non-browser environments.
- src/renderer.js — _renderPreview calls mountFootnotePreview once per
pane (gated by a dataset marker so re-renders don't accumulate
listeners).
- eslint.config.js — CSS + Element added to browser globals.
Tests (8 new, tests/footnote-preview.test.js): mount/unmount, delay +
timer behavior, mouseover/mouseout show/hide, dangling ref graceful
no-op, backref ↩ stripped from the displayed text, cancel-pending-show
when a new ref is hovered, idempotent remount guard.
Full suite: 69 suites, 797 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
- src/utils/writing-stats.js — pure module: stripMarkdown() drops fenced
code blocks, inline code, image URLs, link URLs, headings, blockquote
markers, list bullets, and emphasis markers so the word count reflects
the prose a reader actually consumes (the convention used by Hemingway,
iA Writer). splitSentences / countSyllables use Flesch's standard
heuristics. computeStats returns wordCount, sentenceCount,
syllableCount, readingTimeMinutes (default 220 wpm),
fleschKincaidGrade, charCount.
- src/renderer.js — _updateStatusBar now calls computeStats and updates
three new status items: ~X min read, Grade N.N, and the existing Words
+ Chars counters use the stripped count.
- src/index.html — two new status items: #reading-time and #grade-level.
Tests (23 new, tests/writing-stats.test.js): markdown stripping (fenced,
inline, images, links, wikilinks, headings, lists, emphasis, HTML),
sentence splitter edge cases, syllable heuristic (short words, silent e,
empty), and computeStats with custom wpm + null-safe inputs.
Full suite: 68 suites, 789 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
The workspace-search:query and doc-qa:ask IPC channels were reachable
from the renderer but had no UI. This commit wires them into a sidebar
panel that consumes both backends through a single input.
- src/sidebar/search-panel.js — one input, two modes:
Search (default): routes to workspace-search:query, returns file hits
Ask: routes to doc-qa:ask, returns chunk-level passages with offsets
Click a result → open the file (offset passed through for Q&A hits).
All dynamic content is escaped before innerHTML — hostile filenames
or snippets stay as text instead of becoming script/img nodes.
- src/renderer.js — registers the panel; reads the explorer's folder
input on each open so the search dir stays in sync.
- src/index.html — search sidebar icon (magnifier) next to the others.
Tests (18 new, tests/search-panel.test.js):
- mount + DOM structure
- Enter / click run → search() with query + dir
- result rendering (filePath, snippet, tag facet)
- onOpenFile receives (filePath, offset)
- Ask tab switches placeholder + routes to ask()
- Ask chunks carry +offset in the meta line
- empty query, no folder, search error → handled
- XSS: filename/snippet/tag with <script>, <img>, <unsafe> are escaped
- Escape clears, Clear button resets, host API (setDir/focus/clear)
Full suite: 67 suites, 766 tests, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
Three more features from the brainstorm menu, built on a shared search
algorithm so the codebase stays small.
- src/main/DailyNotes.js — Zettelkasten-style helper. One YYYY-MM-DD.md
per local date under <userData>/notes/daily/; loads skeleton from
<userData>/notes/templates/daily.md when present (built-in default
otherwise). openOrCreate never clobbers existing content.
- src/main/WorkspaceSearch.js — tag/wikilink-aware content search.
Pure module, injectable-IO tested. Query grammar: bare words,
#tag, @wikilink, "quoted phrases". Facets weight +3 each; prose
terms +1/occurrence capped at 5; edits within 7 days get a recency
nudge. Returns ranked results with snippets.
- src/main/DocQA.js — chunk-level Q&A wrapper over WorkspaceSearch.
cleanQuestion strips question words (what/how/why/...) and verb
noise (write/read/show/tell/...) so they don't drown the ranking.
Returns top-K passages instead of whole-file hits — multiple chunks
from the same file can appear in the answer.
- src/main.js — IPC: daily-notes:open-today, daily-notes:list,
workspace-search:query, doc-qa:ask. Path validation through the
existing validatePath gate; a global Ctrl+Alt+D shortcut creates
today's daily note from anywhere.
- src/preload.js — all four channels added to ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS.
Tests (56 new across the three modules):
- tests/main/DailyNotes.test.js (15): dateKey formatting, pathFor,
template load + {date}/{weekday} substitution, openOrCreate +
no-clobber, nested-dir creation, listExisting filtering,
isValidDir rejects NUL/non-string.
- tests/main/WorkspaceSearch.test.js (25): parseQuery grammar,
hasTag/hasWikilink word boundaries, scoreDocument scoring,
per-term spam cap, recency nudge, search ranking + limit +
empty-query short-circuit, bad-input safety.
- tests/main/DocQA.test.js (16): cleanQuestion stripping + facet
preservation, chunkDocument paragraph + hard-split, ask()
top-K, recency tiebreaker, missing-files fallback.
Full suite: 748 tests pass, 66 suites, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
VersionHistory snapshots the previous content on every explicit save — an
unsaved buffer is still lost on crash. AutosaveBuffer fills that gap.
- src/main/AutosaveBuffer.js — pure module mirroring VersionHistory's
injectable-IO pattern; one blob per doc path under
<userData>/autosave/by-path/<sha1>/recovery.md + meta.json. No history
(VersionHistory owns that) — just the latest dirty buffer.
- src/main.js — IPC channels autosave:write/read/clear/list; real paths
go through validatePath, synthetic 'untitled-tab-<id>' keys skip it.
- src/preload.js — added the four channels to ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS.
- src/renderer/autosave-client.js — debounced (2s) flush per tab +
periodic safety net (10s max age) + dirty-write retry on failure.
- src/renderer.js — register on tab create, unregister on close,
notifyChange piggybacks on performAutoSave's existing dirty-check,
clearForDocPath after a successful save, showAutosaveRecoveryBanner
on startup listing pending recoveries with Restore/Dismiss.
Tests (39 new):
- tests/main/AutosaveBuffer.test.js (19): round-trip, overwrite, isolation,
unicode/emoji, empty content, null coercion, ENOENT vs corrupt meta,
list ordering, corrupt-sibling skip, input validation, sha1 storage.
- tests/autosave-client.test.js (11): debounce, flushNow bypass,
no-path skip, clearForDocPath, list proxy, IPC error fallback,
unregister tear-down, failure-retry, periodic flush, idempotency.
Full suite: 692 tests pass, 63 suites, lint+format clean.
Amit Haridas
The renderer wires KaTeX via initMathSupport() and calls
window.renderMathInElement(...) inside _renderPreview() — there were no
tests pinning any of that contract. This commit adds tests/math-rendering.test.js:
- inline ($, escaped \() and display ($$, escaped \[) delimiters all
render valid TeX
- mixed prose + math preserves siblings (headings, lists, etc.)
- invalid LaTeX degrades gracefully under default throwOnError:false, so
the renderer's outer try/catch contract stays load-bearing
- dollar-heavy prose doesn't throw (the renderer's auto-render call must
be robust to anything in the doc)
- bundle wiring: katex.render() and renderMathInElement are exported,
katex.min.css ships in assets/, and index.html references it without a
CDN (the old jsdelivr link was removed in a prior hardening pass)
Amit Haridas
@ cantoo/pdf-lib 2.9.1 was already the dep in use; the encryption plumbing
and probe were already in place from the prior hardening pass. This commit:
- adds a test confirming executeOperation('permissions', ...) routes through
pdfSetPermissions and produces an encrypted PDF unlocked by the owner
password (mirrors the existing 'encrypt' route coverage)
- updates docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-23-security-assessment-summary.md
to mark deferred risk D1 as resolved (the honest-failure message remains
as a fail-closed net for any future library regression)
35 PDF ops tests pass; lint/format clean.
Amit Haridas
Export themes:
- Six presets in the export dialog (basic + advanced modes) for PDF/DOCX:
Default, Modern, Classic, Sepia, Minimal, Elegant
- PDF: LaTeX header (xcolor/titlesec) recolors headings, adds section
rules and colored links — core-TeX packages only, hex-literal only
(no injection surface)
- DOCX: styles.xml surgery recolors Heading1-6/Title/Subtitle/Hyperlink
and swaps heading/body fonts; verified end-to-end against a real
pandoc-produced docx
- Themes ride along in export presets (unknown ids fall back to Default)
Windows CI fixes:
- pdfjs standardFontDataUrl now a file:// URL (backslash paths failed
pdfjs's trailing-slash validation, breaking extractText/extractImages)
- sharp temp cleanup EPERM retries; path-separator assertions; pdfjs
test timeouts raised; batch suite testTimeout 30s
648/648 tests green; 4.7.1 linux+win artifacts rebuilt.
pdfjs validates standardFontDataUrl as a URL ending in a forward slash —
our raw path with a trailing path.sep is invalid on Windows (C:\...\),
failing extractText/extractImages (and every test that verifies through
them) with 'Invalid factory url: must include trailing slash'. Linux and
macOS passed only because / is also a valid URL slash. Convert with
pathToFileURL() so every platform sends file:///.../standard_fonts/.
Also escape path.sep in PDFBatchOperations' sanitizer test regex — a bare
backslash made new RegExp() a syntax error on Windows.
The Windows runner's git checkout rewrote assets/fonts/FiraCode-LICENSE.txt
line endings (autocrlf), changing its bytes and tripping the SHA-256 pin in
download-tools.js. A .gitattributes marks the license (-text) and all font/
image binaries as never-normalized so every platform checks out identical
bytes.
Branding:
- All app icons regenerated from the new vector brand kit (M↓ mark):
icon.png/icon@2x (app + packaging), favicon.png, tray-icon.png, and the
full assets/icons/ size set — generate-icons.js now rasterizes
app-icon.svg directly (docico1.png removed)
- index.html gets proper favicon/apple-touch links from the kit
- Welcome tab hero shows the new mark; README gets the horizontal wordmark
- assets/logo.png (ConcreteInfo) intentionally untouched
CI release fixes (win/mac jobs were failing):
- FiraCode download moved from moving raw/master URLs (hash drifted
upstream, tripping the pin) to the immutable 6.2 release asset; repo
fonts updated to the pinned 6.2 bits
- macOS pandoc extractor locates the binary in the archive instead of
assuming a bin/ layout that the macOS zip doesn't have
Stray upload archive (markdown-converter-assets (1).zip) excluded.
- electron-builder config moves to electron-builder.config.js so markitdown
bundling is conditional per platform (PyInstaller only builds for the host
OS; a missing binary now logs a warning and ships without it instead of
failing the build); package.json static build section removed, all npm
scripts pointed at the config; third-party-licenses/ added to packaged files
- FIX (pre-existing): packaged apps looked for bundled pandoc in
resources/bin, but extraFiles land next to the executable (Contents/ on
macOS) — packaged builds silently fell back to system pandoc since 4.5.
New bundledToolDir() resolves the real location for pandoc + markitdown
- download-tools.js pins the win32 pandoc.exe SHA-256 (fetched + verified)
- sharp packaging test accepts sharp 0.35's versioned binding filename
- release.yml: bundle-markitdown step (best-effort) on every OS and a new
macOS job; release aggregates linux+windows+macos artifacts
Local release artifacts built and verified (dist/):
- MarkdownConverter-4.7.0.AppImage (363MB, pandoc+markitdown bundled,
packaged app boots clean, tools resolve at the fixed path)
- markdown-converter_4.7.0_amd64.deb (293MB)
- MarkdownConverter-Setup-4.7.0.exe (223MB), portable exe (223MB), zip
(305MB) — pandoc bundled; markitdown omitted (cannot cross-build),
legal docs verified inside app.asar
637/637 tests green; lint clean.
Bundle (v4.7.0):
- MarkItDown frozen to a single ~75MB per-platform binary (PyInstaller via
npm run bundle:markitdown; ML extras excluded) — built and verified
locally: HTML/XLSX/PDF conversions pass through the bundled binary, and
the app resolves bin/linux/markitdown first at runtime
- Packaging copies bundled markitdown alongside Pandoc for win/mac/linux;
FFmpeg/sharp/KaTeX/fonts were already bundled
Legal artifacts:
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md: complete license inventory of everything
distributed (binaries, npm runtime deps, fonts, embedded Python packages)
- SOURCES.md: GPL §3(b) written source offers for Pandoc 3.9.0.2,
ffmpeg-static's GPL build, and the PyInstaller bootloader; LGPL relinking
note for libvips
- third-party-licenses/: canonical GPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1, MPL-2.0, Apache-2.0,
OFL-1.1, PSF-Python texts
- Help > Third-Party Notices & Licenses: in-app viewer for both documents
- README: 'Bundled Dependencies, Legal Notices & Credits' section
Hardening:
- download-tools.js now SHA-256 pins every artifact, verifies after
download AND against the cache on every run, and hard-fails on mismatch
(closes security finding D6)
Large tools intentionally not bundled (documented): LibreOffice,
MiKTeX/TeX Live, ImageMagick, PlantUML+JRE, Calibre.
637/637 tests green; lint clean; clean boot; bundled binary verified.
- File → Import with MarkItDown (Any Format)…: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX,
Outlook .msg/.eml, EPUB, images, CSV/JSON/XML, ZIP (audio/OCR via the
[all] extras) — verified live against HTML, XLSX (our own exporter's
output), and PDF fixtures
- Command auto-resolution with caching: markitdown binary → python -m
markitdown → python3 -m markitdown
- SEC-1 argv discipline (execFile only, user paths never through a shell),
50MB cap, 120s timeout, sanitized errors that surface markitdown's own
"pip install 'markitdown[pdf]'" hints for missing format extras
- Output lands next to the source as <name>.md (numeric suffix, never
overwrites) and opens in a new tab; markitdown:available/convert IPC
allowlisted for renderer flows
- Help → Dependencies lists MarkItDown; README/UPDATES updated (v4.6.1)
12 new tests (629 green); lint clean; clean app boot
Anthropic-compatible provider:
- New 'anthropic-compatible' option for any base URL speaking the Anthropic
messages schema (LiteLLM proxies, Bedrock gateways, local servers)
- Sends x-api-key AND Bearer auth when a key is set (gateway-friendly,
harmless for the official API); keyless proxies supported
- Tolerates base URLs with or without a trailing /v1 segment
- Settings modal, manifest, and provider docs updated
Runtime bug fixes found by booting the app (run-to-verify pass):
- PDF editor: File > Open PDF sends operation=null which matched no switch
case and crashed on getElementById(undefined); now defaults to the merge
section
- backlinks-panel: wrong require depth (../../utils -> ../utils) threw at
panel registration time
- writing-studio stack was written against a synchronous settings backend but
the real one is IPC-backed: GoalTracker/SnapshotManager/ProjectManager and
all four panels now await; JSON.parse(Promise) crashes eliminated
- manuscript panel used window.prompt (unavailable in Electron); replaced
with an inline dialog
- collaboration comment-store/save-load made async to match its IPC IO
617/617 tests green; 4 consecutive clean app boots (no uncaught errors)
- AI Assistant plugin: multi-provider chat (OpenAI/Anthropic/Ollama/LM Studio),
summarize/improve/translate commands, proofread via ai:analyze; calls
proxied through main so API keys stay out of the renderer
- Collaboration plugin: anchor-based comments in .comments/ sidecars with
drift detection and F8 navigation
- Local knowledge base: [[wiki-links]] with click-to-create + Backlinks panel
- Crash recovery: debounced session snapshots with restore prompt on launch
- Version history: pre-save snapshots, History panel with restore/diff/delete
- Real PDF encryption: swap pdf-lib for @cantoo/pdf-lib (probe-driven UI)
- XLSX export (native workbooks via JSZip), ODT headers/footers + page size
- Offline KaTeX (bundled CSS+fonts), local-first PlantUML rendering
- Editor: vim mode toggle, snippet Tab-expansion, zen word-goal setter,
writing heatmap, writing-studio panels wired with rail icons
- Quick Note global scratchpad (Ctrl+Alt+Q), markdownconverter:// deep links,
REPL first-run confirmation
- Fix: Ctrl+Shift+P collision, pandoc converter availability check, CLI
dangling --css/--reference-doc flags, dead converter button
8 new test suites; 613 tests green; lint clean
build.asarUnpack only claimed node_modules/sharp/**, so electron-builder
pruned the @img/sharp-* optionalDependencies: the asar kept 34 pure-JS
@img entries while the bundled libvips shared libraries never shipped.
At boot sharp's loader fell back to a system-libvips-linked binding and
dlopen failed, crashing the main process. Claim the prebuilt packages
explicitly (@img/** and @napi-rs/**) per the sharp+electron-builder
recipe, and guard the built output with a packaging regression test.

A missing/pruned @img/sharp-* binding made the top-level require('sharp')
crash src/main.js at startup, killing the packaged app before any window.
Load sharp through a cached lazy getter instead; when the native module
cannot load, executeOperation resolves the honest failure shape
{ success: false, error: 'Image operations unavailable: <sanitized>' }
(free of absolute paths), mirroring PDFOperations' Task-27 precedent.

electron-builder's .snap (Squashfs) artifact in dist/ registered as an
obsolete Jest snapshot file, failing the suite exit code despite all
516 tests passing. modulePathIgnorePatterns keeps the snapshot scanner
out of build output.

Final-review nit: the hardcoded-list rationale covers the dialog path
only; the drop stands on the trusted-argv precedent for --convert-to.

The interval split mode looped for (i = 0; i < totalPages; i += interval),
which spins forever when interval <= 0. Both the single-file dialog and the
batch dialog can reach it (the batch dialog's validateOperationData only
checks truthiness, so -1 passes). Guard at the source in the main process:
reject non-positive or non-integer intervals before the loop, protecting
both paths and any future caller.

The get-pdf-form-fields IPC pair (handler in main.js, renderer invoke and
event.reply('pdf-form-fields')) was missing from ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS and
ALLOWED_RECEIVE_CHANNELS. Under the planned preload migration an unlisted
channel is silently blocked, so the form-field fill/flatten feature would
break once the main window stops using the inline shim. Placed adjacent to
the sibling get-pdf-page-count/pdf-page-count pair it was modeled on.

Task-20-review finding: File.path removed in Electron 32, app on ^41.1.1,
~15 renderer file-picker sites read it and get undefined at runtime.

Replaces the two native OS dialogs used to configure the DOCX "Enhanced"
export template (an open-file picker + a message-box question) with a
single in-app modal that shows the currently active template state, per
Task 18's original audit finding that this state was invisible until a
user thought to reopen the menu. Consolidates the "Select Word
Template..."/"Template Settings..." menu items into one "Word Template
Settings..." entry wired to the new dialog; Browse still uses the native
file picker since there is genuinely no bundled folder of templates to
enumerate (confirmed by investigation — see task-18-report.md).
Also fixes a related dangling-reference bug: WordTemplateExporter's
hardcoded default template path (word_template.docx) was deleted from
the repo in an earlier commit, but the code still tried to read it and
threw ENOENT whenever no custom template was selected. convert() now
degrades gracefully by generating a minimal, valid DOCX shell (styles +
numbering matching what markdownToWordXml() already references) instead
of crashing, and the new dialog surfaces this state honestly ("using
default formatting, no default template is bundled") rather than
implying a working default exists.
Out of scope, per explicit instruction: bundling fabricated starter
.docx templates to populate a literal multi-item gallery (rejected as
disproportionate/fake-content scope), and an EPUB template gallery (no
EPUB template mechanism exists anywhere in this codebase to build one
for).

Task 17's three new IPC channels (plugin-export-formats-registered,
run-plugin-export-format, plugin-export-format-result) were missing
from preload.js's ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS/ALLOWED_RECEIVE_CHANNELS,
breaking the established convention that the allowlist is the
authoritative registry of every valid channel regardless of whether
it's accessed via window.electronAPI or raw ipcRenderer (see
toggle-sidebar-panel, set-current-file, save-recent-files).
