A new shipped template aimed at analyst-grade market maps (Known Category and Thesis-Driven flavors), and the timeout refactor that came out of running it against a real 7-8K-word draft and watching the wall-clock AbortController truncate the tail mid-sentence. The two ship together because the template surfaced the bug — running market-map-profile on lost-in-public/market-maps/Humanoid Robots and their Input Industries.md was the first observable instance of the wall-clock pathology — and they're both groundwork for the multi-stage Claude+Perplexity+RAG pipeline the exploration doc now sketches.
Impact: a fifth shipped template auto-seeded into Content-Dev/Templates/ on first plugin load (and re-seedable from settings), running on sonar-deep-research with return-images off by design; templates can override the plugin-level wall-clock timeout per-template via a new cft-block key; the plugin-level default jumped from 10 min to 30 min because the old default was tuned for short concept-profile runs and was cutting off any deep-research template that took its time. Existing four templates are unchanged in behavior — they don't declare the override and inherit the new 30-min default, which they all finish comfortably under.
Market-map template (src/docs/templates/market-map-profile.md):
- Heading skeleton: Market Snapshot, The Question this Map Answers, Why Now, Map of the Market, Lighthouse Examples, Innovator Profiles (Link/Offering/Funding/Why/Coverage cards + per-sub-segment summary table), Media-Voices-Coverage, Market Dynamics (Sizing, Adoption, Capital Flow), Frontier and Open Questions, Adjacent Concepts.
- Dual-flavor: the system prompt has the model pick between Known Category (Humanoid Robots, Quantum Computing) and Thesis-Driven (e.g. Neural Network Hardware as Brains for Robotics) based on title and tags.
- Anti-incumbent editorial stance copied from the concept template family — cap big tech at 1 of 5-10 in every sub-bucket, attribute innovation to startups/labs/founders.
- Declares request-timeout-ms: 2400000 (40 min) with an inline comment explaining the budget — the only shipped template that overrides the plugin default today.
- Registered in templateSeederService.ts so first-load seeding and the Re-seed button both pick it up; surfaced in src/docs/templates/README.md and docs/directory-templates.md.
Timeout refactor (src/services/directoryTemplateService.ts, main.ts):
- Per-template cft-block key request-timeout-ms: accepts number or numeric string, silently falls back on non-positive / non-numeric values, otherwise wins over the plugin-level setting for that template's runs. Resolution code sits just before the streamPerplexityToFile call so the rest of the streaming primitive is untouched.
- Plugin default directoryTemplatesRequestTimeoutMs bumped 600000 → 1800000 (10 min → 30 min). Settings-pane description rewritten to call out the override and the cost framing ("$10-$50 of analyst time per good output is worth waiting for").
- Structural fix (idle-timeout discipline ported from perplexityService.ts:659-668, where the legacy modal flow already does it correctly) is filed as its own open issue, not in scope for this commit.
Context-v writing:
- context-v/explorations/Multi-Stage-Cooperative-Claude-and-Perplexity-with-RAG.md — three architectures weighed (zoned single-file appends, multi-doc folder per market map, per-section cft-section blocks), an include-sources YAML schema proposed covering vault paths/globs and Chroma queries, and the "Perplexity and Claude do not overwrite each other until editing" heuristic translated into three implementation strictness levels. Recommends Option A (zoned appends) for v1.
- context-v/issues/Wall-Clock-Timeout-Cuts-Off-Long-Deep-Research-Streams.md — the Humanoid Robots truncation as motivating symptom, side-by-side diagnosis of the two timeout disciplines in the codebase (wall-clock here, per-chunk idle in the legacy modal), the partial fix shipped today, why it's only partial, the structural-fix proposal, and four pre-spec open items. Cross-linked both ways to the exploration so the issue is reachable from either entry point.

Directory-template runs with sonar-deep-research were silently discarding
~99% of every response. Perplexity's deep-research model delivers its whole
finished document in the first SSE event's message.content; the streaming
reader took delta.content (correct for the token-streaming sonar models) and
captured only a ~75-character tail fragment of a ~10,000-character report.
toolkit-profile shipped with sonar-deep-research as its default model, so
the default was the broken one. This release fixes the streaming, hardens it
against mid-stream disconnects, and adds the tooling the directory-template
research workflow was missing.
Both streaming paths now read Perplexity's cumulative message.content
snapshot and append only the new tail — correct for token-streaming sonar
models and for deep research's first-event document dump alike. A timed-out
or dropped stream now keeps the partial content and the citations it already
received instead of discarding the whole run. "Apply directory template"
gained a run dialog with a per-run model selector, so the model is no longer
locked to the template file, and the loading notice names the model that is
actually running instead of a hardcoded "deep research" string.
Streaming (perplexityService.ts, directoryTemplateService.ts):
- Read message.content (cumulative snapshot), diff against written text,
append the tail; a startsWith guard skips a changed prefix rather than
corrupting the note.
- streamPerplexityToFile returns a partial result with a `truncated` flag on
a read error instead of throwing; applyTemplate writes the partial with
its sources footer and a truncation notice. The modal catch block salvages
its citation metadata the same way.
- Deep-research idle timeout 90s -> 270s; request-timeout default 5 -> 10 min.
Model selection (DirectoryTemplateRunModal.ts, main.ts):
- New run dialog: a template dropdown plus a Perplexity model dropdown that
defaults to the template's cft model and overrides it for that run only.
- cf_last_run_model now stamps the model that actually ran.
Search scoping (directoryTemplateService.ts):
- search_domain_filter support via cf_search_domains (target frontmatter)
and search-domains (cft block); allow/deny entries, capped at 10; job
boards are denied automatically.
Template (src/docs/templates/toolkit-profile.md):
- System prompt rebuilt: anchors the entity on its real name rather than the
scraped marketing tagline, makes source quality a triage task instead of
an allow/deny list, adds a search-don't-recall rule and per-section length
ceilings. Default model -> sonar-pro.

Gemini lands as the fourth research provider — Google Search grounded,
per-segment citation attribution via groundingSupports[] (the layer Claude's
web_search_20260209 dynamic-filter sandbox loses), redirect URLs resolved
through Obsidian's requestUrl with canonical/og:url + <title> parsing so
citations land with real source URLs and real page titles.
Plus the partials + preambles paradigm (vault-visible shared rules across
the four directory templates), the addClass token bug that was silently
breaking eight settings sections finally fixed, system-prompt textareas
promoted from 200px right-edge slots to full-width 3-line rows, seeder
made idempotent at both folder and file layers, and ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
mid-stream errors translated into plain-English re-run guidance.
Per-day changelogs:
- changelog/2026-05-19_01.md — partials + preambles + 11 hidden sections fix
- changelog/2026-05-19_02.md — Gemini provider lands
- changelog/2026-05-20_01.md — Obsidian-shipping pass (today)
Release narrative: changelog/releases/0.2.0.md
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two threads bundled because they were one session's work and the changelog tells the joined story:
1. PARTIALS + PREAMBLES — shared guidance moves out of TypeScript constants and out of duplicated template blocks into vault-visible markdown that templates pull in by name.
Three peer folders under templatesRoot's parent:
zz-cf-lib/templates/ (existing — your four profile templates)
zz-cf-lib/partials/ (new — pulled in via {{include: name}})
zz-cf-lib/preambles/ (new — auto-attached to every Perplexity request)
What moved:
- INLINE_CITATION_DIRECTIVE → src/docs/preambles/inline-citation.md
- IMAGE_PLACEMENT_DIRECTIVE → src/docs/preambles/image-placement.md
- buildResearchFraming() → src/docs/preambles/research-framing.md
- mermaid syntax discipline block (was duplicated across all four profile templates) → src/docs/partials/mermaid-discipline.md
New engine surface in src/services/directoryTemplateService.ts:
- expandIncludes(app, text, partialsRoot) — async, recursive, max depth 5, cycle-detected. Missing partials surface as inline [[include: <name> — file not found]] markers; cycles as [[include: <name> — cycle detected]].
- loadPreamble(app, preamblesRoot, name) — vault first, bundled default fallback with console.warn.
- parsePreambleOverrides(cftConfig) — per-template { system, skip-user, skip-all } in the cft fence.
- applyTemplate refactored: expand-then-interpolate for cftSystem and userSkeleton; preambles resolved (each expanded + interpolated) then assembled before sending.
DirectoryTemplateSettings extended with partialsRoot, preamblesRoot, systemPreambles, userPreambles. PerplexedPluginSettings + DEFAULT_SETTINGS mirror these (defaults: zz-cf-lib/partials, zz-cf-lib/preambles, [inline-citation], [{research-framing,always},{image-placement,return-images}]). Four new settings-tab rows expose them. buildDirectoryTemplateSettings() helper replaces two duplicated dirSettings literals.
templateSeederService.ts rewritten around a shared seedFolder() helper. Now seeds three folders (templates / partials / preambles) with the same idempotent rule (README always; content files only when target folder is missing or empty). Exports BUNDLED_PREAMBLES for runtime fallback when a vault preamble file is absent. seedTemplatesIfMissing and reSeedMissingFiles both take optional partialsRoot/preamblesRoot args.
The four bundled profile templates now reference {{include: mermaid-discipline}} in place of the previously-duplicated checklist block.
2. SETTINGS-UI FIX — eight call sites in main.ts had activeDocument.createEl('textarea'), an Obsidian global that's undefined in current Obsidian versions. The first one threw at the Perplexity "Request body template" textarea and aborted PerplexedSettingTab.display() before any of the other 11 sections (Claude, Perplexica/Vane, LM Studio, prompt blocks, Directory templates, Find Images) could mount. All eight switched to containerEl.createEl, matching every other DOM operation in the file. Settings tab now renders end-to-end.
Build green: pnpm build (eslint + tsc + esbuild production) exits 0.
Architecture review and design rationale captured at content-farm/context-v/issues/Partials-And-Preambles-For-Perplexed-Templates.md before implementing.
Vault-seeding caveat unchanged: existing vault templates won't auto-replace on plugin update. Copy the four updated bundled templates into your vault manually (or delete + reload) to pick up the {{include: …}} directive; the seeder will create zz-cf-lib/partials/ and zz-cf-lib/preambles/ on next plugin load.

Round 3 of the marketplace submission (#12513) flagged 73 errors + 6
warnings against the bot's recommended eslint config. This ships the
literal fixes the bot demanded so the rescan goes clean and the PR
moves to human review.
Sentence-case (66 errors). Applied the bot's exact "Expected: '...'"
rewrites across main.ts, the 8 modal files, and claudeService.ts. The
bot runs obsidianmd/ui/sentence-case with `enforceCamelCaseLower: true`
and no brand allowlist, so "Ask Perplexity" becomes "Ask perplexity",
"LM Studio" becomes "Lm studio", "PromptsService" becomes "promptsservice"
— UI text now reads as broken. Brand capitalization is to be restored
after marketplace acceptance, when we own the plugin entry on our own
update cadence. Local eslint.config.mjs's brand-allowlist override
also dropped so the local lint stops disagreeing with the bot.
Async without await (2 errors). main.ts:504 `callback: async () => {}`
reduced to `callback: () => {}` (the wrapped reinitializeServices() is
sync). directoryTemplateService.ts:195 listTemplates reduced from
`async function ... : Promise<TemplateFile[]>` to sync; the two callers
in main.ts updated to drop `await`.
no-restricted-globals (4 errors + 4 description-missing errors). All
four streaming fetch() sites (directoryTemplateService, lmStudioService,
perplexicaService, perplexityService) switched to `activeWindow.fetch`,
matching the precedent already used for `activeWindow.setTimeout`
elsewhere. The bare eslint-disable directives removed. SSE/streaming
rationale (Obsidian's requestUrl buffers) preserved in adjacent
comments.
Unused catch bindings (6 warnings). Three in main.ts, plus
lmStudioService:243, perplexicaService:255, logger.ts:47 — all
collapsed from `catch (e)` / `catch (error)` to `catch { ... }`.
Also included: changelog/2026-05-12_01.md documenting what the bot
flagged, the diff cost (brand names lowercased mid-string), the
non-sentence-case fixes, and verification.
Verification: both eslint configs (local + bot-mirror recommended)
exit 0; tsc -noEmit -skipLibCheck exit 0; production esbuild exit 0.

ObsidianReviewBot's last scan (commit 4423052f, 2026-05-09) flagged
three `require-await` violations. The bodies of all three are fully
synchronous — promoting them to sync is the correct fix and removes
the false-positive shape for the marketplace scanner.
- main.ts#reinitializeServices: instantiates services synchronously
inside try/catch blocks. Drop `async`/`Promise<void>`; drop the
unnecessary `await` at the lone call site in the settings-saved
callback.
- claudeService.ts#afterMessage: walks message content and writes
to the editor via `replaceRange` — both sync. Drop `async`; drop
the `await` at the two call sites in the Claude streaming flow.
- perplexityService.ts#processStreamingMetadata: post-processes the
streaming response (think blocks, image placement, search-result
footer). All operations are sync editor mutations and string
processing. Drop `async`; drop the `await` at the lone call site.
`pnpm build` passes (eslint clean + tsc + esbuild). Local lint was
already clean against the obsidianmd recommended config — the bot
enforces `@typescript-eslint/require-await: "error"` while the
recommended config disables it, hence the divergence.

A freshly-installed perplexed has no templates folder, so the directory-template
commands have nothing to match. Users had to copy templates from the plugin
source by hand. Now the four shipped templates (concept-, vocabulary-, source-,
toolkit-profile) plus a README are inlined into main.js via esbuild's text
loader for .md files, and a seeder writes them into the configured templates
root on plugin load — but only if the folder is missing or contains no markdown,
so existing customizations are never touched.
A new "Re-seed templates" button in the Directory templates settings section
fills in any shipped file whose filename doesn't already exist (for pulling in
new templates after a plugin update).
Pieces:
- esbuild.config.mjs: register `.md` text loader so markdown imports work
- src/types/markdown.d.ts: TS shim for `*.md` imports
- src/services/templateSeederService.ts: seedTemplatesIfMissing +
reSeedMissingFiles (idempotent, never overwrites)
- src/docs/templates/README.md: end-user docs for the template system
(zone anatomy, interpolation tokens, commands, image markers, citation
behavior, frontmatter stamps, writing a custom template)
- main.ts: seeder fires after settings load; settings tab gains a Re-seed
button

New command "Find images for selection". Highlight a passage in any open file,
invoke the command, and the plugin:
1. Splits the selection into paragraphs and numbers them.
2. Reads the active file's frontmatter for url / site_name (entity context).
3. Sends a Perplexity request with return_images=true asking the model to:
- Find N screenshot/product/feature images that illustrate the specific
passage content.
- Prefer images hosted on the entity's domain; fall back to other web
sources only when on-domain images aren't available.
- For each chosen image, output one line of the form
`[AFTER {paragraph_number}] [IMAGE {n}: <description>]` so the model
itself decides which paragraph each image belongs after.
4. Parses the placement markers, maps each image number to the corresponding
entry in response.images, and rebuilds the selection with `\n\n`
separators around each embed so images sit between paragraphs, never
inside one.
5. Falls back to even-distribution domain-preferred ordering if the model
emitted no placement markers.
Result is `` embeds in standard CommonMark/GFM form,
inserted via editor.replaceSelection. Frontmatter and surrounding content
are untouched.
New setting `findImagesMaxImages` (default 3) caps the per-invocation count.

Three additions driven by real-vault use against ~1600 Tooling/ profile files:
1. Folder batch run. New command "Apply directory template to all files in
folder" prompts for folder, then template, then a confirm modal showing
total/fill/append counts before firing. Sequential execution with a
live-updating progress notice. New "Stop directory template batch"
command sets a cancel flag checked between files.
2. Append-below replaces abort-on-existing-body. If the target body is
non-empty, the response is appended after a blank-line separator instead
of skipping. Frontmatter still byte-identical. ApplyOutcome return type
distinguishes fill / append / skip / error so batch can tally them.
3. Interpolation extended beyond {{title}} and {{frontmatter}}. Now supports
{{frontmatter.X}} for explicit access and bare {{X}} as auto-fallback to
frontmatter.X — so templates can use {{site_name}}, {{slug}}, etc.
directly. Arrays render as comma-joined strings; nested objects as YAML.
Also adds {{today}} → ISO date.
New files:
- src/modals/FolderPickerModal.ts — FuzzySuggestModal<TFolder>.
- src/modals/BatchConfirmModal.ts — confirm dialog showing batch counts.
Out of scope, still:
- v0.3: cf codefence in user notes.
- v0.4: section-aware writing + per-section output modes.
- v0.5: citation/backlink preservation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Solves the immediate workload of populating ~1600 nearly-empty profile files
under Tooling/, Sources/, and Vocabulary/ with a consistent outline + body.
The user picks a template from a fuzzy palette (filtered by glob match against
the active file's path), and the plugin sends a single Perplexity Deep Research
request driven by the template's heading skeleton + per-section bullet
instructions. The response is buffered, then written into the empty body of the
target file. Frontmatter is byte-identical before and after.
Template anatomy (per context-v/specs/Per-Directory-Profile-Templates.md):
- Frontmatter — title, applies-to-paths globs, description.
- Pre-`cft` prose — explainer for humans, ignored at runtime.
- One `cft` codefence — YAML config + `system:` field. Config-only; no prompt
body inside the fence.
- Post-`cft` skeleton — heading outline with model-facing bullet instructions.
Sent as the user prompt with `{{title}}` and `{{frontmatter}}` interpolated.
- A `***` line below the skeleton terminates the user prompt; everything below
is authoring scratch and never reaches the API.
New files:
- src/services/directoryTemplateService.ts — template loader, parser, glob
matcher, frontmatter whitelist filter, prompt assembly, non-streaming
Perplexity call, file writer.
- src/modals/DirectoryTemplatePickerModal.ts — FuzzySuggestModal wrapping the
glob-matched template list.
- src/docs/templates/{tooling-profile,source-profile}.md — seed templates
users can copy into their vault.
main.ts changes:
- New settings: directoryTemplatesRoot (default "zz-cf-lib/templates"),
directoryTemplatesFrontmatterWhitelist (default ["title", "og_description",
"tags", "og_image"]), directoryTemplatesRequestTimeoutMs (default 300000).
- New command: "Apply directory template to current file".
- New settings UI section under "Directory templates".
Out of scope for v0.1 — captured in the spec for later iterations:
- Folder-batch run with concurrency/progress/resume (v0.2).
- `cf` codefence runtime in user notes (v0.3).
- Section-aware writing + output modes (v0.4).
- Citation/backlink preservation (v0.5).
- Multi-provider, image generation, verb registry split (later).

Applies all required fixes from the bot's review of PR #12513
(obsidianmd/obsidian-releases). ESLint now passes 0 errors with the
Obsidian community ruleset; tsc passes; production build is clean.
Lint setup:
- Adopted eslint-plugin-obsidianmd@^0.2.9 in eslint.config.mjs
- Mirrored the bot's rule surface locally so violations surface in
`pnpm lint` instead of the marketplace PR thread
- Configured the ui/sentence-case rule with a brand allowlist
(Perplexity, Perplexica, Vane, Claude, Anthropic, LM Studio, Imgur,
ImageKit, OpenAI, Ollama, Sonar, Llama, GPT, YAML, JSON, URL, API)
so legitimate proper nouns aren't lowercased
Code fixes (487 → 0):
- console.log/info → console.debug across all sources (~130 sites)
- UI strings normalized to sentence case (~150 sites)
- Command IDs and names cleaned up: dropped "command" suffix, dropped
"perplexed" plugin-name prefix
- Settings tab section headers switched from createEl('h2') to
new Setting().setHeading() (5 sites)
- Inline element.style.color/width/minHeight/fontFamily migrated to
a new CSS class (.perplexed-json-textarea + .is-tall / .is-extra-tall)
in src/styles/settings-tab.css (8 textarea sites, 32 style assignments)
- Async input handlers wrapped: addEventListener('input', () => void
(async () => { ... })()) so the listener type matches (8 sites)
- forEach((opt) => dd.addOption(...)) blocks made void-returning to
satisfy no-misused-promises (9 modal sites)
- JSON.parse results typed as unknown then narrowed
- throw <string> → throw new Error(<string>)
- ${unknown} interpolations narrowed via instanceof Error
- Removed dotenv runtime dependency: published plugins shouldn't read
.env at runtime; user enters API keys via the settings tab
- Replaced builtin-modules dev-dependency with node:module's
builtinModules — same data, no extra package
- Logger console-method dispatch rewritten as a switch instead of
dynamic console[level] indexing (which the bot rejects)
Streaming exceptions:
- src/services/{perplexityService,lmStudioService,perplexicaService}.ts
retain `fetch()` for SSE / chunked streaming because Obsidian's
`requestUrl` buffers the whole body. Each site has an
`eslint-disable-next-line no-restricted-globals` with the marketplace
`/skip` justification inline. Plan to surface these on the PR with
a `/skip` reply.
Reference docs:
- context-v/issues/Obsidian-Review-Bot-Feedback-on-Perplexed-Submission.md

Background: the open-source self-hosted repo (ItzCrazyKns/Perplexica)
was renamed to Vane on 2026-03-09 by its maintainer (commit
'feat(app): rename to vane'). The hosted service at perplexica.io
remains live under the Perplexica brand — that's a separate hosted
product, not what users self-install for this plugin. The local API
surface (/api/search, focus modes, optimization modes) is unchanged
across the rename.
Updates "Perplexica" to "Perplexica / Vane" wherever a user can see
the string — command palette, modals, notice toasts, editor-injected
callouts, settings tab, README. Internal references (class names,
method names, CSS classes, command IDs, settings field names) are
left bare to avoid breaking compatibility or requiring migration.
main.ts
- Command names: 'Ask Perplexica' / 'Update Perplexica URL' /
'Show Perplexica Settings' all gain '/ Vane'.
- Notice toasts (service not initialized, failed to open modal,
current URL display) updated.
- Settings tab section heading 'Perplexica (Self-Hosted)' →
'Perplexica / Vane (self-hosted)'; all 9 endpoint/model/template/
prompt/placeholder labels and descriptions in that section
updated to read 'Perplexica / Vane'.
- URLUpdateModal config (title + label) for the Update URL command
updated to match the new command name.
- Default Perplexica query placeholder updated.
src/modals/PerplexicaModal.ts
- Header title, subtitle, submit button all read 'Ask Perplexica / Vane'.
src/services/perplexicaService.ts
- Editor-injected callout '**Perplexica Query**' / '### **Response
from Perplexica**' both updated.
- Error notice prefix 'Perplexica Error:' → 'Perplexica / Vane Error:'.
README.md
- Top blurb, features bullet, network-use table row, "Using" section
heading + TOC anchor (slug regenerated), full Commands table.
- Install section rewrite: heading marks the local-install
requirement explicit; new rename callout points users at
github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Vane for docs while explaining what got
renamed and what didn't (perplexica.io is still a separate
hosted brand).
Intentionally bare (justified):
- Example JSON content '"What is Perplexica's architecture?"'
(sample content, not a UI label).
- Internal Error throws + console logs (dev-only surface).
- Code comments.
- Lines 98-102 of README, inside the rename callout itself —
those sentences distinguish the two names by design.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Six docs-derived blockers fixed in one pass; punch-list plan filed
under context-v/plans/ for traceability.
manifest.json
- description rewritten: action-verb start (was "A plugin for
Obsidian…", which the docs call out as an anti-pattern), all four
providers named (Perplexity, Anthropic Claude, Perplexica, LM
Studio), 144 chars, ends with period.
- fundingUrl removed — was pointed at the company website, not a
donation service. Docs: "If you don't accept donations, remove
fundingUrl from your manifest."
main.ts
- Three command IDs un-prefixed: 'perplexed-debug-commands' →
'debug-commands', 'perplexed-reset-prompts' → 'reset-prompts',
'perplexed-reinitialize-services' → 'reinitialize-services'.
Obsidian auto-prefixes commands with the plugin id, so the
doubled form would have registered as 'perplexed.perplexed-…'.
- Deleted the top-level <h2>Perplexed Plugin Settings</h2> from the
settings tab. Docs: "Avoid adding a top-level heading in the
settings tab, such as 'General', 'Settings', or the name of your
plugin."
README.md
- Placeholder URLs replaced with the real lossless-group/perplexed-plugin
repo (clone command, Issues link x2, Discussions link).
- Stale "Version: 0.0.0.1" footer line deleted (manifest is the
source of truth).
- New "## Network use and accounts" section: per-provider table with
endpoint, account requirement, and API-key requirement, plus an
explicit no-telemetry / no-self-update statement. Required by
Developer Policies (network-use disclosure + paid-account
disclosure). Key Features bullet updated to mention Claude.
context-v/plans/2026-05-02_Submission-Blockers-Punch-List.md
- New plan documenting the audit findings: six blockers fixed here,
four will-be-flagged items (7-10: settings <h3>/<h4> → setHeading,
sentence case, console.log hygiene, vault.adapter.write in
logger.ts) deferred to a separate pass.
