The interface had drifted into two languages — the frame in English, everything
added later in German — which is worse than either, since the same idea appeared
under two names depending on when that part was written. Sorting by title still
uses the German collation, so Übung 2 comes before Übung 10: that is about the
notes, not the chrome.
Two archive folders were renamed with it (bilder/ → images/, zeichnungen/ →
drawings/). The importer reads both spellings, and both the old and new marker
line for a drawing — archives exported before this are on disk, and an import
that quietly dropped their drawings would be the worst kind of tidy-up.
Making a note, uploading a PDF and importing Markdown were three buttons side by
side, two of them icons you had to hover to identify. They are the same act —
putting something new in this notebook — so they are now one + menu.
The search box moves out of the sidebar and into the note list, labelled with the
notebook it narrows. Nothing changed about what it does: it has always searched
only the notebook you are in, but from the sidebar it read as searching
everything.
A separator no longer carries a sentence explaining the order the sort menu
already names. Renaming joins removing on the right-click menu — a left-click on
the label started an edit, so the row could not be touched without falling into
one.
218 unit tests, 238 browser checks across eleven suites. Two of those caught real
breakage from this change rather than needing a translation.

The vector clocks in the server were never reached: no client sent one,
so the branch was dead and every write was a blind overwrite. Not "the
newer edit wins" — "the request that arrives last wins", which is worse:
a phone that was offline all day buries the laptop's newer work simply by
reconnecting late.
Each write now carries baseUpdatedAt, the revision it was written on top
of. If the note has moved on since, the incoming edit still wins — a
rejection would throw away what was just typed — but the state it
replaces is kept as a version marked "conflict", so both exist and the
history is where you choose. Clocks could have told a real conflict from
a device catching up, but that precision only pays off with a merge
interface, and this reuses the version history already built.
adoptRevision() stores the revision the server reports back, or the
second save in a row would be flagged as conflicting with the first.
Also removed, as agreed:
- POST /api/notes/pdf — accepted PDFs that nothing could ever read back,
with no retrieval route and no viewer. The readme advertised "PDF
Import & Annotation"; that claim is gone too.
- POST /api/sync — a batch endpoint the client never called.
- the tags column — notebooks, starring and search already cover it.
Columns on existing databases are left in place. Dropping them buys
nothing and is not worth touching a live database for.
Tables now have a right-click menu (editor/tableMenu.js) for rows,
columns, header and merging. It needs stopPropagation: without it the
same event reaches window, where the menu that is mounting reads it as a
click elsewhere and closes instantly — the reason the other context menus
in App.jsx already do this.
92 browser checks across seven suites, 125 unit tests.
