 - `Refresh for current note` only applies to the active note.
 - `Refresh for current note` fetches fresh star counts from GitHub for repositories in the active note even if their cache entries are still valid.
 - When `Update embedded stars on refresh` is enabled, refresh updates only links that already have embedded `⭐ ...` text in the active note and then rerenders the note.
-- When `Update embedded stars on refresh` is enabled, Reading View and Live Preview refresh paths also update existing embedded `⭐ ...` text for repositories whose star counts were refreshed.
+- When `Update embedded stars on refresh` is enabled, Reading View and Live Preview refresh paths update existing embedded `⭐ ...` text in the source note being rendered, even if another view becomes active before the update finishes.
+- Background rendering does not require an active Markdown view and does not show an active-view warning during workspace startup.
 - If the same repository appears multiple times in the active note, refresh fetches it once and applies the result to all matching occurrences.
 - When `Update embedded stars on refresh` is disabled, refresh rerenders the note without changing embedded `⭐ ...` text.
 - If a refresh fetch fails for a repository, existing embedded star text for that repository is left unchanged.
