Request

Block reminders backend for the ⋯ block menu "Remind Me…" action (user spec 2026-09-14).

A reminder binds a durable block link (day/note path + block identity) to a fire date and schedules a local notification (UNUserNotificationCenter) whose action opens the block (existing deep-link navigation). Presets: 20 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tomorrow (09:00 local), next week (same weekday 09:00), Custom… (native date picker sheet). Reminders persist in the Space (markdown-native representation to be decided with the user: candidate is a remind: inline tag or frontmatter key on the block; see docs/DESIGN.md before choosing).

Acceptance

Notification permission requested lazily on first use; denial surfaces a native alert and leaves the block untouched.
Firing the notification and clicking it navigates to the exact block, in the correct Space, even after relaunch.
Reminders survive relaunch and Space switch; deleting the block cancels its pending notification.
App Intents: "Remind me about block" exposed; Spotlight unaffected.
Persisted representation documented in docs/DESIGN.md and DECISIONS.md.
Keep open until verified on the VM and accepted by the user.

## Request Block reminders backend for the `⋯` block menu "Remind Me…" action (user spec 2026-09-14). A reminder binds a durable block link (day/note path + block identity) to a fire date and schedules a local notification (`UNUserNotificationCenter`) whose action opens the block (existing deep-link navigation). Presets: 20 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tomorrow (09:00 local), next week (same weekday 09:00), Custom… (native date picker sheet). Reminders persist in the Space (markdown-native representation to be decided with the user: candidate is a `remind:` inline tag or frontmatter key on the block; see docs/DESIGN.md before choosing). ## Acceptance - Notification permission requested lazily on first use; denial surfaces a native alert and leaves the block untouched. - Firing the notification and clicking it navigates to the exact block, in the correct Space, even after relaunch. - Reminders survive relaunch and Space switch; deleting the block cancels its pending notification. - App Intents: "Remind me about block" exposed; Spotlight unaffected. - Persisted representation documented in docs/DESIGN.md and DECISIONS.md. - Keep open until verified on the VM and accepted by the user.
