Tolaria v2026-08-11

New Features

  • 🎨 Colored Markdown highlights — Highlight text in yellow, green, red, blue, or purple from the rich-editor formatting controls. Highlight colors persist in Markdown and survive Rich ↔ Raw editing.
  • 🧩 Full icon catalog for type customization — Choose from the complete Phosphor icon catalog when customizing types, including uncommon icons that were not available in the previous curated selection.

Improvements

  • ⌨️ More predictable rich-editor keyboard navigation — Arrow keys now move cleanly within and across code blocks and empty list items, while Tab and Shift+Tab keep focus in the editor when indenting or outdenting lists.
  • More responsive note search — Typing in the note-list search field remains responsive while larger result sets are filtered.
  • 🔗 Vault-aware deep links — Deep links now focus the already-open window for the target vault instead of switching an unrelated vault window.
  • 🚀 Lighter icon loading — Type icons are loaded on demand, expanding the available catalog without adding the entire icon set to the startup bundle.
  • 🪟 Cleaner compact layouts — The compact status bar stays on one row in narrow windows.
  • 📊 Improved spreadsheet navigation — Added reliable Ctrl/Command+Arrow edge navigation and improved keyboard focus and cell-edit commit behavior.

Fixes

  • Fixed spreadsheet edits being written to the wrong cell or lost when navigating, tabbing, pressing Enter, changing selection, or leaving the editor.
  • Fixed spreadsheet source being replaced by stale rich-editor content when switching through Raw mode.
  • Contained recoverable IronCalc WebAssembly bridge failures so an affected sheet shows an unavailable state instead of crashing the surrounding editor.
  • Fixed spreadsheet context menus being clipped instead of scrolling, selected table grid lines disappearing, stale input dispatches, and several released-model navigation races.
  • Fixed pasted fenced and HTML code blocks losing their code-block controls or language metadata.
  • Fixed dropped carets when clicking editable rich-editor content.
  • Fixed arrow navigation escaping code blocks unexpectedly, empty list items becoming unreachable, and list indentation moving focus out of the editor.
  • Fixed transient stale-selection, missing-node-type, null DOM-order, and table-index races that could interrupt rich-editor rendering.
  • Fixed the block-type dropdown losing its selection or applying changes unreliably during toolbar interactions.
  • Fixed root-relative attachment images such as /attachments/image.png not resolving inside vaults.
  • Fixed sandbox-enabled HTML block scripts failing to run in their intended isolated preview.
  • Fixed compact-window deep links opening notes in the wrong vault instance.
  • Fixed backslash-based shortcuts on keyboard layouts that produce \ through alternate key combinations.
  • Fixed AI agent status handling when an installed agent does not report a version.
  • Fixed Tolaria injecting a duplicate Pi MCP adapter when Pi configuration already loads it.

Technical Notes

  • Added a shared, tested release-version helper for stable and alpha workflows, including recovery from the historical future-dated calendar version and stricter release environment output.
  • Updated the app updater to select alpha metadata by publication time and allow the narrowly scoped calendar-version recovery path.
  • Migrated Codacy analysis to ESLint 9, added repository-local analyzer configuration, and kept differential quality gates fail-closed.
  • Consolidated rich-editor recovery classification, keyboard guards, highlight metadata, command routing, spreadsheet lifecycle handling, and icon loading internals.
  • Reduced telemetry noise from editor races that Tolaria successfully recovers while retaining reports for unrecovered failures.
  • Added or expanded unit and smoke coverage for colored highlights, icon resolution, code-block and list navigation, formatting persistence, note-search responsiveness, deep-link routing, HTML blocks, spreadsheet cell persistence, sheet Raw round trips, and editor recovery.
