Fixed

• SQLite keyword search missed titles the API backend finds, and rendered them "Untitled" (#570, #574). Queries hardcoded a fieldID for title, date and publicationTitle; they now resolve by name and per item type, as Zotero does, so cases (caseName), statutes, emails, webpages and libraries with non-standard field IDs are found, sorted and indexed correctly. The lookup is also cheaper than before: keyword search 3.6 ms to 1.3 ms on a 700-item library.
• Collection-scoped search on the web API ignored the query and returned the collection's first items. Regression from 0.12.1.
• Child notes no longer crowd papers out of small titleCreatorYear result sets on the API backend: the search pages past notes it is going to drop (#542).
• A failed metadata search is reported as an error instead of "No items found" followed by the fallback cascade (#578). Results already found by another query variant are kept.
• Annotations no longer render as "Untitled": they show Zotero's own composed title, the quoted text and comment, or the type name for image and ink annotations (#575, #576). Annotation type 6 ("text") is no longer reported as an empty string.
• update-db --limit N no longer marks the whole library as indexed (#564). If you have used --limit, run update-db --fulltext or --force-rebuild once to repair the index.
• Semantic search no longer fails with embed_query() got an unexpected keyword argument 'input' when the config file is missing and ChromaDB rebuilds the stored embedding function (#565). The single-text method is now embed_query_text.
• zotero_find_related_papers reported 0 citations for every paper after OpenAlex removed cited_by_api_url; it now uses the cites: filter (#458, #566). Its "in library" flag also recognises DOIs stored as doi.org URLs (#568).
• export --format bibtex failed with 'BibDatabase' object is not iterable, and @inproceedings entries had no booktitle (#579).
• Legacy arXiv ids with a dotted archive (math.GT/0309136) are recognised, so re-adding such a paper is deduplicated (#571).
• Local writes are probed on 127.0.0.1, where pyzotero 1.15.2 sends them. Where localhost resolves to ::1 first, writes silently fell back to the web API (#567, #569).
• The ChatGPT connector search tool falls back to keyword search when the semantic extra or index is missing, instead of returning nothing (#572).

Changed

• A case's title carries its reporter or court, as in Zotero: Marbury v. Madison (5 U.S. 137) (#576).
• Creating a note from Markdown-looking text warns that Zotero stores it literally (#503, #559).
