+**Build:** `npm run build` runs `tsc --noEmit` first, then esbuild bundles `src/main.ts` → `main.js`.

+3. Remaps every bookmark `filePath` through the same helper.
+
+`remapRenamedPath(path, oldPath, newPath)` (in `src/utils/path-utils.ts`) returns the updated path when `path` **is** `oldPath` (a plain file rename) *or* is nested under it (`path.startsWith(oldPath + '/')`, i.e. a folder rename/move), and `null` when the path is unaffected. This is why moving a folder no longer orphans the bookmarks inside it. The helper deliberately imports nothing from `'obsidian'` so it stays pure and unit-testable in plain node.

-**Omitted paths/tags:** Settings store regex patterns but the current `addToRecentFiles` does **not** filter by them — these are only exposed in the settings UI. The filtering is not yet wired up in the add logic.

 ## Known Limitations / Gaps
 
-1. **Recent files omittedPaths/omittedTags** — Settings UI exposes these regex filters, but `addToRecentFiles()` does not apply them. Files are never filtered out.
-2. **`updateOn: 'file-edit'`** — The `file-open` handler returns early for this mode, but no edit-detection event is registered. Recent files never update in edit mode.
-3. **No virtual DOM** — Full rebuild on every redraw. Bookmark drag/drop, rename, and any change tears down and rebuilds the entire sidebar.
-4. **Concurrent saves** — `saveSettings()` and `saveWaypointData()` both re-read then write `data.json`. Rapid sequential calls could race.
-5. **Recent files not persisted** — Cleared on vault reload. Only bookmarks survive restarts.
-6. **Note indicators scan all vault files** — `hasNoteForDate()` iterates `vault.getFiles()` on every calendar render (called per day cell). For large vaults, this is O(days × files). Not cached.
-7. **`detectPeriodType` uses hardcoded formats** — The regex patterns in `main.ts` don't read from `settings.*.nameFormat`. If a user changes the name format to something non-standard, next/prev navigation breaks.
-8. **IconSuggestModal fetches from CDN** — Network dependency on first icon picker open. Falls back to hardcoded list on failure.
+1. **No virtual DOM** — Full rebuild on every redraw. Bookmark drag/drop, rename, and any change tears down and rebuilds the entire sidebar. For a small sidebar this is acceptable; for larger bookmark lists it may cause flicker.
+2. **IconSuggestModal fetches from CDN** — Network dependency for the Lucide tag list. The fetch happens at most once per session (the result is cached) and falls back to the hardcoded `FALLBACK_ICONS` list on failure, but a first-open with no network still degrades to that reduced list.
