Automatically added tasks currently land at the end of a note, which can put them beneath an unrelated heading. Tasks-tab additions on desktop/mobile and incoming task captures now share a plain ## Tasks section and keep Reflect's round + [ ] marker.

Behavior

  • Create ## Tasks when absent; reuse a top-level H2 case-insensitively. Existing linked Tasks headings retain their spelling/alias, with plain headings preferred when both exist. No backlink target is created.
  • Join the first compatible + list before a subheading, or start one immediately below the heading. Preserve prose, nested lists, frontmatter, CRLF, and existing tasks elsewhere. Explicit nested-task continuation keeps its context; bullet and square-checkbox captures keep their existing placement.
  • Return exact task identities and relocate later cached open/completed tasks and recently completed rows before exposing the new row. This avoids offset collisions when inserting above another task and preserves immediate editing, including CRLF notes.
  • Keep the mobile task sheet from interpreting React StrictMode's effect rehearsal as real abandonment. Live QA exposed that existing cleanup deleting a newly created empty task before it could be edited; real dismissal/unmount still removes abandoned empty tasks.

Verification

  • pnpm check and pnpm build passed.
  • Core Markdown, list insertion, capture-drain, and note-task tests: 177 passed. Coverage includes plain/linked heading precedence, mixed markers, subsection boundaries, CRLF, empty-task identity, and duplicate-text task relocation.
  • Desktop/mobile Tasks screen suites: 105 passed in Chromium and 105 in WebKit, including a regression for inserting at a later task's former cached offset.
  • After the mobile lifecycle fix, mobile screen + task-sheet finalizer suites: 54 passed in Chromium and 54 in WebKit. StrictMode regressions cover preserving a new task on mount, removing it on real abandonment, and exactly one removal when a parent unmounts the sheet during its initial effect flush. The latter test reproduced duplicate removal before the cleanup-generation correction.
  • Built-in browser walkthrough: desktop repeated creation/Return-to-add and reopening the note; shared mobile tree at 390px (?platform=android), creating two tasks, saving with Return/Open note, and confirming one plain Tasks heading. Desktop had no console errors.
  • The iOS dev preview could not complete because its dev bridge repeatedly calls unimplemented plugin:iap|get_products / plugin:iap|get_product_status. Mobile behavior was verified in the shared Android preview and WebKit suites; no native iOS walkthrough was performed. Browser preview storage is in-memory, so persistence was verified across note navigation, not full browser reload.

No database migration or capture-protocol change. Existing notes are only changed when a new task is inserted; existing task placement is not migrated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • New tasks and captured task text are added beneath the appropriate Tasks heading, creating one when needed.
    • Existing task sections, list formatting, line endings, and surrounding content are preserved.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Existing task markers now relocate correctly when earlier tasks are inserted.
    • Task insertion supports duplicate markers, CRLF notes, missing daily notes, and immediate editing.
    • Prevented empty tasks from being deleted prematurely during mobile development-mode mounting.
    • Failed bookmark captures remain retryable while later captures continue processing.

Walkthrough

Task insertion now targets Tasks sections and returns created-task metadata with offset changes. Desktop caches apply relocations. Task capture uses the same insertion path. Mobile cleanup defers deletion until confirmed unmount.

Changes

Task insertion flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Markdown task insertion and offsets
packages/core/src/markdown/*, packages/core/src/exports/sync-markdown-indexing.ts
appendTaskUnderHeading inserts tasks under compatible headings, preserves line endings, and returns marker and insertion offsets. List insertion respects item kinds.
Task capture routing
packages/core/src/actions/capture-drain.ts, packages/core/src/actions/capture-drain.test.ts
Task captures use appendTaskUnderHeading. Other capture types retain their list-item paths.
Desktop task state updates
apps/desktop/src/lib/note-task.ts, apps/desktop/src/lib/tasks/*, apps/desktop/src/components/tasks/tasks-screen.test.tsx, apps/desktop/src/lib/note-task.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/mobile/screens/tasks.test.tsx
Insertion returns InsertedTask data. Task caches and recently completed entries apply returned offset changes. Tests cover relocation, CRLF content, persisted offsets, and structured mocks.
StrictMode-safe mobile cleanup
apps/desktop/src/mobile/use-task-sheet-finalizer.ts, apps/desktop/src/mobile/use-task-sheet-finalizer.test.tsx
Cleanup uses mount generations and deletes an empty task only after confirmed unmount.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e8462

The task-capture routing change preserves existing non-task capture behavior and uses the Tasks-section insertion path for task captures. No merge-blocking risk remains.

- Line 160: Replace the mountedRef guard in the effect cleanup with a
cleanup-generation mechanism: increment the generation during effect setup,
capture that value in cleanup, and only invoke unmountFlushRef.current() from
the queued microtask when the captured generation is still current. Add a
regression test covering an ancestor unmounting the sheet during its initial
passive effect and verify actions.remove occurs only once.
