+# Stashpad — Release Notes
+
+A chat-style nested-notes view for Obsidian: rapid capture, outliner navigation,
+in-place editing. Local-only, no external services.
+
+---
+
+## 0.69.43 — search overhaul, sidebar panels, "When" filter builder *(current)*
+
+### Sidebar panels + Pinned Notes (0.68)
+- New sidebar panels view; first panel is **Pinned Notes** (MRU targeting,
+  drag-reorder, `P` keybind, strike-through on completed rows).
+- Search promoted to a panel-independent global actions row above the master
+  button bar; an icon-only Search button also lives in the Stashpad header
+  between the folder switcher and tags dropdown.
+
+### Search modal overhaul (0.69)
+- Multiple matches in a long note surface as separate clustered result rows
+  with ±2-line preview context (capped at 5 clusters per note).
+- Local-folder badge on every note row; N folder-open entries collapse into a
+  single "Open folder in a new tab…" sub-picker.
+- Breadcrumb path line under the parent blurb (local + cross-folder).
+- Query-token highlighting in titles, previews, and parent blurbs.
+- `in:` now spans every searchable Stashpad folder, matching the parity of the
+  time filters.
+- **Create-from-search:** when no results match, a "Create new: <query>" row
+  appears. Picking it opens a destination picker across all Stashpad folders
+  and spawns a new tab on the picked parent.
+- Re-pressing the search keybind while the modal is open focuses + selects-all
+  in the search input (instead of stacking a second modal).
+- Tab is focus-trapped inside the modal (wraps instead of escaping to Obsidian).
+
+### "When" filter builder (0.69)
+- Unified `before:` / `on:` / `after:` into a single **When** chip with
+  Before / On / After / Between mode tabs.
+- **Day picker:** Today / Yesterday + Mon–Sun row; weekday names in the END
+  slot of Between mode resolve to the next future occurrence.
+- **Timeframe picker:** preset chips (Last 7d / 30d / This week / This month)
+  plus a "Last N units" stepper. When used with `on:`, relative durations are
+  converted to a concrete `YYYY-MM-DD`.
+- **Custom time picker:** HH/MM fields, AM/PM toggle, 3×4 numpad, Tab cycling,
+  24h support.
+- Keyboard polish: Enter/Escape stay inside the builder; popover keys don't
+  leak to the result list; unhandled keys fall through to the rest of
+  Obsidian's keymap.
+
+### Composer undo fixes (0.69)
+- `Mod+Z` / `Mod+Shift+Z` in the composer now reliably triggers the textarea's
+  native undo / redo. (Previously could accidentally undo the prior Stashpad
+  action when the textarea was empty.)
+- Stashpad's own undo still works from the note list — blur the composer
+  (`Esc`) first.
+- **Known issue:** `Mod+Backspace` (delete-to-line-start) in the composer is
+  not yet undoable. Three different approaches were attempted (`setRangeText`,
+  `execCommand`, manual in-RAM stack) and each broke something else;
+  documented for a future attempt. `Opt+Backspace` (delete-word) is undoable.
+
+### Other quality-of-life
+- Smart bracket pairing in the search input: auto-insert closing `]`,
+  pair-delete on backspace.
+- Color filter menu no longer crashes on open (TDZ fix).
+- Breadcrumb infinite loop on cyclic ancestor chains fixed (visited-id Set).
+- Sub-picker close no longer dismisses the parent search modal.
+
+---
+
+## 0.62.4 — Tiny Mode, ribbon menu button, copy-codeblock keybind
+
+### Ribbon icon (0.62.0–0.62.3)
+- Clicking the ribbon button now opens a searchable folder picker showing
+  every Stashpad in the vault — leaves, folders, and a "Switch folder…"
+  entry — instead of jumping to whichever tab happened to be open.
+- The "Open Stashpad in new tab" command also shows the picker on
+  multi-folder vaults.
+
+### Tiny Mode + view modes (0.61)
+- **Tiny mode** — pop the current Stashpad out into a small always-visible
+  window with a minimal shell. Three view-mode buttons (Normal / Compact /
+  Tiny) live in the header.
+- Compact rules apply to Tiny too; composer narrows below a 700px threshold;
+  rail collapses on wide→narrow transitions.
+- Tiny window restores via `setBounds`; plugin stylesheet is injected into
+  popout windows on open so styles work in detached windows.
+- Sticky toggle no longer resizes the window.
+
+### Codeblock copy + Notification history
+- New default keybind (`{`) to copy code from a fenced code block under the
+  cursor.
+- Notification history is now reachable from the actions menu; the log
+  section moved to the top of settings.
+
+### Ouroboros + selection polish (0.63)
+- Swap a note with its parent — with cycle guard, descendant-move recovery,
+  and a "Confirm Note Swap" modal.
+- Siblings travel with the swap; undo is cycle-safe.
+- Multi-select: mod-click fully deselects; shift-arrow trims the range.
+
+### Advanced search filters (0.64)
+- New `in:` / `before:` / `after:` / `on:` filters with a clickable chip row.
+- Multi-word filter values; bracketed values
+  (`in: [copy stashpad features]`); date filters accept an optional
+  time-of-day suffix.
+- `in:` matches "inside the subtree of a note matching this title."
+- Folder-open results are downranked when a filter is active.
+
+### Unified folder picker (0.65)
+- One picker handles reveal / open / switch-current / create.
+- "Open in another new tab" pinned to the bottom.
+- Create always opens in a new tab; can convert existing non-Stashpad folders.
+
+### In-Stashpad navigation (0.66 + 0.67)
+- Back / forward buttons in the breadcrumb and the tiny header.
+- Per-tab history covers folder switches (not just tree-up); persists across
+  reloads; back falls through to navigate-up at the root.
+- Tiny header's folder/title is itself a folder-picker button.
+- `Mod+S` is the default keybind for the unified folder picker.
+- `cloneSubtree` snapshots children before insert and refuses same/descendant
+  targets.
+
+### Perf
+- Dropped `:has()` selectors, lazy anchor capture, removed a spurious
+  composer retry path.
+
+---
+
+## 0.60.0 — Ribbon menu shipped first
+
+### Ribbon icon
+- Ribbon click now opens a context menu listing every Stashpad — leaves,
+  folders, and a folder picker — instead of jumping to whichever tab happened
+  to be open. (Later refined into the searchable picker in 0.62.x.)
+
+### Small-features batch (0.59)
+- Catch-all fixes: typo, slug, capitalization, select-all, export fixes,
+  jump-to-parent across folders, breadcrumb count, color undo.
+- Keybind input: wider field with a "Use both" override; true auto-resize;
+  cancel-restores-prior; dead-key starters (`Option+E` etc.) are now bindable.
+- Title-case folder labels in the switch-folder picker.
+- Scroll: the `preserve` policy sticks to the bottom when at bottom;
+  `scrollListToBottom` uses a settle watchdog for at-bottom mutations.
+
+---
+
+## 0.58.2 — NotificationService, ScrollPolicy, picker unification
+
+### Frontmatter recovery layer (0.54)
+- Redundant `parentLink` + `children` frontmatter so a note can be navigated
+  up/down even if Stashpad's index breaks.
+- Home notes renamed to `Home-<folder>.md` with bootstrap-time backfill.
+- Rebootstrap button also backfills frontmatter; quiet when already in sync.
+
+### NotificationService (0.55) — the headline feature
+- Centralized notification infrastructure.
+- Verbose notifications for delete / move / merge / clone / reorder.
+- Persistent history modal + settings entry + command.
+- Per-category mute settings UI; multiplayer (cross-author) filters in the
+  history modal.
+- Bulk actions show bulleted summaries; toast CSS polish; multi-line errors;
+  clear-history confirm.
+- Frontmatter sync: silent success, persistent toast on failure only; live
+  notice for sustained queue activity.
+- Import error toasts get Reveal / Show actions; per-attachment delete toasts
+  route through the service.
+
+### ScrollPolicy + cursor restore (0.56)
+- New `ScrollPolicy` type wired through `render()`; `preserve` is the default —
+  kills the post-action bouncing.
+- Anchor-row preservation (not pixels); follow-cursor on keyboard reorder;
+  smart post-delete selection; nest picker selects the new parent; undo of
+  nest highlights the un-nested note.
+- Last cursor row persists across reloads via localStorage; restored by id.
+
+### Picker unification (0.57)
+- Token-order-agnostic matching in the suggest picker + folder picker.
+- Folder picker = Stashpad-only; destination + move pickers = cross-folder +
+  roots.
+- Find modal → pick a Stashpad folder → opens in a new tab; spawned tab
+  returns focus to origin on close.
+
+### Context-menu polish (0.58)
+- Context-menu toggle complete; rebootstrap renames stale slugs and refreshes
+  the command palette.
+- Icons for "Move to" / "Move to Home."
+- Notify on no-op moves (already at destination, or into self).
+
+---
+
+## 0.53.20 — Multiplayer authorship, per-parent sort, scroll-to-bottom
+
+- **Multiplayer authorship** (0.51.11): author / contributor stamping, footer
+  row in the view, log author column. Per-user identity stored in settings;
+  author stub files live under `_authors/`.
+- **Per-parent sort dropdown** (0.52.0): sort each parent's children
+  independently; drag reverts that parent to manual mode.
+- **Robust scroll-to-bottom** (0.53.x): adaptive scroll that survives slow
+  markdown render on Obsidian reload — per-row ResizeObserver, sticky observer
+  for the at-bottom branch, watchdog `requestAnimationFrame` polling for up to
+  30s. `stickToListBottom` short-circuits the geometric check.
+
+---
+

+
+Compatible with Obsidian 1.7+. Install via BRAT from this repo, or copy
