What changed

Each project now has its own list of todos, ideas and notes. They are the user's own planning: they belong to the project, not a session, every session in the project sees the same list, and nothing in it is sent to Claude.

• Notes tab in the Details rail, beside Details and Activity. It shows the active session's project, with the open todo count on the tab. A capture box adds a todo, idea or note on Enter. Filters show one kind at a time, and done todos fold away under Done.
• Opening a note edits its text, a longer body, its kind and its pin. Edits save when a field loses focus, on Back, and when the view closes. Deleting asks first.
• Sidebar: the project's ⋯ menu has "Open notes", which shows that project's notes without opening a session (so a parked project's notes can be read without bringing it back). A project header shows its open todo count.
• ⌘⇧N opens a small capture overlay from anywhere, including a focused terminal. ⌘K offers "Add a note…" once a project exists.
• Storage: a project_notes table in kriyon.db with a foreign key to projects. kriyon-core checks every note from the webview: ids are bounded, text is trimmed and capped at 500 characters, the body at 20,000, and only a todo can be done. An update never moves a note to another project.
• Failures are never silent. A change shows at once; if the save fails it is rolled back and a toast says so. A failed load at launch says so too.

ADR 0053 records the decisions, including why notes live in the app database rather than in the repository. The glossary gains Project note and Note capture.

Why

People have thoughts while working that are not prompts: a todo for later, an idea to try, a fact worth keeping. Today they go to another app, or into a terminal where they get lost or sent to Claude by mistake. This keeps them next to the work, per project.

How I tested it

• Rust: project_notes validation tests in kriyon-core (checked they fail when validation is removed), store round-trip tests for the new table, and tests for the save command's glue.
• Frontend: tests for the notes store (ordering, counts, filters, rollback on a failed save or delete), boot hydration, the Notes tab (add, filter, done, open, edit, save on close, delete with confirm, pin), the Inspector tab, the sidebar menu and todo count, the ⌘⇧N overlay, the reserved chord, and the palette entry.
• pnpm check passes.
• Not yet checked by hand in the running app at the time of writing; a smoke build is being tested.

Checklist

• The PR targets dev.
• I wrote or updated tests, and pnpm check passes.
• I read and tested every line, and I can explain it in review.
• AI tools wrote most of this change. (Tick if true. See Using AI tools.)

Review and fix — pass 1

Full review of the pull request, then fixes and re-checks over 3 passes.

Fixed 11 issues; 0 left open. All local checks and CI are green on the new head.

• Saves from the webview now check note ownership in Rust and return the stored row.
• Overlapping saves can no longer undo a later edit or revive a deleted note.
• A cleared title no longer throws away the body typed under it.
• The Open notes pick no longer sticks to a session, and the rail keeps a way back to Notes.
• The capture chord, the project rule, the length limits and the project square each live in one place.

Notes

Scored below the bar and left alone: a hand-drawn filter toggle, a blank list for an empty filter, timestamp bounds, newlines in pasted text, and the test-only seeding of the saved-copy map.

Fixed this pass

• src/notes/NoteDetail.tsx:88 — Keep body edits when the title is blank, or say why
• src/state/projectNotes.ts:89 — Guard rollback so a failed save cannot overwrite newer state
• src/state/projectNotes.ts:216 — Clear the notes pick once another session becomes active
• src/inspector/Inspector.tsx:477 — Keep a way back to Notes from the no-session view
• src-tauri/src/notes_cmd.rs:58 — Return the stored row, not the webview copy, after upsert
• src/state/projectNotes.ts:10 — Tie NOTE_TEXT_MAX to the Rust text limit
• src/notes/NotesTab.tsx:36 — Reuse the sidebar project colour square instead of copying it
• src/notes/NoteCaptureOverlay.tsx:69 — Share the capture chord predicate with reservedChords.ts
• src/notes/NoteCaptureOverlay.tsx:92 — Move the no-project guard into openNoteCapture
• src/notes/NoteDetail.tsx:93 — Let the store own the blank-title rule; render its result
• src/state/projectNotes.ts:159 — Derive the unchanged check from NotePatch keys, not a hand list
