Bugs

(none open)

Features — near term

• #43 Session cost display: per-response token count line in chat + resume savings indicator (context gauge shipped; full display still open)
• #47 UI Bridge: run-command action with allowlist (safe Obsidian command execution) ✅ 2026-03-26
• Refresh session context command: re-inject context file + allowlist into active session mid-turn ✅ 2026-03-26
• Session-scoped pins: add a 📌 pin button next to the × on pending context items so pinned items survive send and stay in the stack for every subsequent message (see #16)
• Attachment button: open up the paperclip to add files, URLs, and other content to the context stack (currently stubbed/disabled)
• #19 Compaction detection and user notification (manual compact via gauge click shipped; auto-detection still open)
• #20 Configurable session storage location
• #22 Setting: re-inject context on every turn (not just session start)
• #10 Inline content generation (generate text at cursor in active note via tag/marker)
• #29 Image/PDF support (attach button handles files by path; inline paste/preview not yet supported)

Features — blocked (architectural)

• #48 FrontmatterGuard: write protection and read exclusion (readonly, context: never) — blocked until Claude Code supports per-tool-call approval in print mode
• #42 Inline diff preview: word-level changes before Claude writes to an open note — same architectural constraint as #48

Features — low priority / post-v1

• #23 Dataview / metadata graph awareness
• #24 Template integration (Templater/core Templates)
• #25 Git integration: convenience commands (git now works via Full access mode; pre-composed prompt commands still open)
• #26 Multi-context profiles: saved pin sets for different workflow modes
• #27 Slash commands: custom Cortex commands from vault files
• #28 Canvas integration: read and generate Obsidian Canvas files
• #34 Pro-human AI declaration (docs)
• #36 Support Windows CMD install in setup panel (low demand; PowerShell required by spawn architecture)
• #41 Session export to vault: save conversation as a vault note
