v1 reached Todoist feature-parity, so remaining/future work is now tracked
in heph itself — tasks in the Hephaestus project (heph view ondeck) — not in
a doc. Renamed docs/reference/tech-spec.md -> v1-prototype-tech-spec.md and
rewrote all 27 [[tech-spec]] wiki-links + README/changelog path refs (docs
checks green). Retitled + bannered the spec as a historical v1 build record
and froze its §14 tracker. AGENTS.md gains a "Planning future work" section
(capture via `heph task --project Hephaestus`, triage in heph-tui On Deck);
README status reflects parity + the three daily-driver surfaces. The design
doc remains the living rationale.

Node buffers now open with the editable YAML frontmatter block on top
(node.get {frontmatter: true}); on :w, `frontmatter.lua` parses the
block, diffs it against what was rendered, and routes each changed field
to the right RPC:
- title → node.update rename
- attention → task.set_attention
- do_date/late_on/recurrence → task.set_schedule (YYYY-MM-DD → local-ms;
a removed line clears via null)
- project → task.set_project (resolved by name)
- tags → tag.add / tag.remove
A mistyped state surfaces the daemon's validation error; a buffer with no
block edits no metadata (deleting the block can't wipe tags). Body rides
node.update as before (the store strips any echoed frontmatter).
Body-position features are content-relative, so the prepended block
doesn't disturb them; e2e specs that targeted absolute line 1 now locate
body lines by content via a new `h.find` helper. New frontmatter_spec
covers render + the full diff→RPC round-trip. 21 nvim e2e specs green.

`:Heph next`/`list` rows now render a compact relative do/late date chip
(today/tomorrow/yesterday/MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD, mirroring heph-tui's fmt) and
a recurrence ↻, so scheduling is visible at a glance. `<CR>` already jumps
to a row's canonical-context doc. e2e: a do-date-chip render assertion.
Completes the §14 item-2 task-list UX wave.

Make the owner's saved filters first-class so the agenda isn't one flat
list. `list` now takes a ListFilter predicate-as-data (heph-core::filter):
attention include/exclude sets, project-id scope, exclude_projects, and an
actionable do-date gate. New Store::view(name) resolves a built-in ViewSpec
— looking project names up to ids and subtree-expanding them through parent
links — then lists.
Five built-ins seeded from the Todoist queries (design §6.2.1): tom, ondeck,
chores, work, tasks (Schedule dropped — time-of-day isn't modeled on
date-grained do-dates). Surfaced as `heph view <name>` (no name lists them),
the `view` RPC + RemoteStore forward, and `:Heph view <name>` in nvim.
The list RPC/RemoteStore/CLI/heph.nvim migrate to the filter wire; legacy
--scope/--attention/--no-blue map onto it (nvim view.lua updated).
Tests: filter unit predicate, a views integration suite (subtree
scope+exclude, actionable gate, unknown-view error, absent-project empties),
a socket list/view dispatch test, two nvim e2e specs. 154 Rust tests + 18
nvim e2e green; clippy/fmt clean.

A surface-owned, auto-spawned daemon can't be shared once the CLI is also a
first-class client — so drop auto-spawn and manage the daemon as an OS service.
- design §4: daemon lifecycle = explicit OS service; surfaces connect-only
- heph-nvim.md: rewrite the daemon-lifecycle section (connect-only) + history
- new how-to/run-the-daemon.md (heph daemon start/stop/restart/status); indexed
- install-heph.md: post-install is `heph daemon start`; plugin no longer spawns
- tech-spec §14: mark the managed-daemon entry superseded
- changelog fragment

The Tactical next and Organizational list buffers are now actionable:
- a add a task from the list (prompt title + attention)
- d mark the task under the cursor done
- r refresh
- <CR> open the task's context (as before)
A dimmed key hint renders above the rows as a virtual line (extmark), so it's
discoverable without taking a task row. e2e covers add-from-list and
done-from-list via stubbed vim.ui.input/select.

A dailies picker (zkd-style): lists the last `journal_days` (default 7) days
newest-first, previews existing journals and shows "@create" for new ones, and
opens the chosen day (creating if new). Journals resolve by their ISO-date
title, so no new RPC is needed. picker.select gains an optional Telescope
preview pane. e2e covers the recent-days list (exists/@create across a month
boundary) and open-on-pick via a stubbed vim.ui.select.

A single designated "home" doc (open-or-create by title, configurable via
opts.home, default "Home") — a stable landing page to grow a map of content
around. e2e covers create-on-first-open + idempotent reuse.

Pressing <CR> on a [[wiki-link]] whose target doesn't exist now creates a doc
with that title and opens it (the zettelkasten gesture), and materializes the
source's backlink: if the source has unsaved edits, saving re-extracts and
links it (and persists the edits); otherwise the wiki link is added directly
(a no-op re-save wouldn't re-extract). Adds :Heph doc <title> to create a
standalone wiki entry. e2e covers both the saved-source and just-typed-source
paths.

The plugin now manages its own hephd by default (autostart = true): if nothing
is serving the socket it spawns a local daemon against the default XDG paths,
kills only what it spawned on VimLeavePre, and self-heals — rpc.call retries
once through a respawn hook when the connection drops (the prior owner releases
the DB lock on exit, so a respawn can claim it).
- daemon.ensure() connects to an already-running daemon (any mode) or spawns one
we own; stop_spawned()/is_managed() track lifecycle.
- A server/client daemon you started is always respected (spawn only when nothing
serves the socket). autostart = false → connect-only, warns/errors if down,
and clears the self-heal hook so it fails loudly.
- config: autostart defaults true; new `db` option; $HEPH_SOCKET / $HEPH_DB
fallbacks isolate a dev Neovim onto a separate daemon + DB.
e2e: managed_daemon_spec covers autostart spawn, self-heal-after-kill, and
connect-only error. 10 specs green.

Backend (TDD):
- task.promote {container_id, item_ref, attention?, project?}: mint a committed
task from the item_ref-th `- [ ]` context item (1-based, document order via a
new extract::context_item_lines) and rewrite that source line into a [[link]]
to it. Unit + rpc_socket tests.
- resolve_id now excludes canonical-context docs, so [[Task Title]] resolves to
the task, not its identically-titled context doc (deterministic; a general fix
surfaced by promotion's ULID-tiebreak ambiguity).
Plugin: :Heph promote / promote_under_cursor (save-if-dirty → compute item index
with a code-fence-aware scanner mirroring extract.rs → task.promote → reload the
rewritten buffer). e2e spec (f): promote a context line, assert the new task in
next, the source line became a link, and the container backlinks the task.
CI via Dagger: a test_nvim function bakes a pinned, arch-detected Neovim
(v0.11.2 — Debian's is too old for vim.uv) onto rust:1-bookworm, builds hephd,
and runs the self-contained shim suite (cargo + target cache volumes);
build.yaml calls `dagger call test-nvim`. run.lua now fails on zero specs (no
false-green). Validated end-to-end: passing suite → exit 0, failing spec →
Dagger exit 1.
117 Rust tests + 7 nvim e2e specs green.

Backend: enrich `list` to return titled RankedTask rows (title +
canonical_context_id, via a shared ranked_from_row with `next`), so the
Organizational view needs no N+1 node.get. TDD: query_surface test asserts
list rows carry title + context id.
Plugin:
- view.lua: Tactical `next` + Organizational `list` rendered scratch buffers;
<CR> opens the row's canonical-context doc. Narrowed the node autocmd to
heph://node/* so view buffers (heph://next, heph://list) don't trip it.
- task.lua: capture, set-attention, done/drop, skip, per-task log append, all
resolving "the current task" from the buffer (a task node, or a context doc
via its canonical-context backlink).
- picker.lua: vim.ui.select with Telescope auto-upgrade (headless-safe).
- command.lua: :Heph next/list/capture/attention/done/drop/skip/log/search.
e2e: capture→next→open context→add/check checklist→done; recurring
fresh-checklist (complete rolls forward in place, next occurrence all-unchecked
— the §4.4 hard requirement). 6 specs green via `mise run test-nvim`.

Make mise the dev entrypoint for the headless e2e suite, matching the repo's
mise-tasks convention (auto-discovered, shows in `mise tasks`). Dev relies on
system-installed nvim + rustc; CI will provide them via Dagger (slice 11c).
The self-contained shim runner is unchanged.

The primary surface begins (tech-spec §8): a Neovim plugin that is a thin
client of the local hephd over its unix-socket JSON-RPC.
- node.resolve {title} → Node|null (heph-core Store + dispatch): exact,
owner-scoped, non-tombstoned alias-then-title match — the same mapping that
materializes wiki links, so follow-link jumps to the node the stored link
points at (never fuzzy search). Unit + rpc_socket integration tests.
- heph.nvim/: vim.uv unix-socket JSON-RPC client (blocking call via vim.wait,
id-demuxed, partial-line buffered, luanil so JSON null → Lua nil; isolated
Sessions for tests). Buffer-backed nodes (heph://node/<id>, acwrite;
BufReadCmd→node.get / BufWriteCmd→node.update, whole-buffer body round-trips
exactly through the CRDT). [[wiki-link]] follow on <CR>. Daily journal.
:Heph command surface + completion.
- Headless e2e (§9): a self-contained busted-style runner (tests/e2e/runner.lua)
— no external plugins, no network, deterministic CI exit codes. Specs: journal
round-trip, follow-link (+ unresolved no-op), link-two-docs/backlink.
`make -C heph.nvim test` builds hephd and runs it.
Docs: heph-nvim reference card, §14 tracker (11a done; 11b/11c/11d queued),
