Owner decisions (2026-10-01, Navigator grill round 1)

  • Main area: opening the Notes Tab shows the last note the User created or was editing. No list in the main area.
  • Sidebar = Navigator: it shows the User's Markdown notes outside plugin-owned folders (Money, Log days, Tasks storage…; one shared owned-paths registry, #606).
  • The Navigator is tabbed inside the sidebar. Swipe left/right (touch and trackpad), or use the small tab control, to switch between:
    1. Recent (default): Apple Notes style groups (Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days, then month by month), sorted by created (default), modified or title, newest first;
    2. Tags: a note appears under every tag it has, plus "Untagged"; grouping by any other property (any frontmatter field found in notes, with a "No value" group) lives here or in a following tab;
    3. Files (built last): a file-explorer tree of include: *.md, exclude: <app-owned folders>, reusing the Files tree component.
  • Visuals fit the calternal aesthetic: glass sidebar, the shared row primitive, group headers, Copy link on rows, deep-linkable tabs and groups (§33).
    Build order: Recent tab → Tags/properties → Files tree. Rename "Notes view" to Navigator in DESIGN/CONTEXT. Grill complete; build after #606 lands.
