0.13.0

Murmuration Writing Companion 0.13.0

This release turns the Companion into a durable chapter-editing workspace rather than a temporary sidebar.

Highlights

• Portable editorial data — Chapter Notes, annotations and editorial-pass history now live in .murmuration/writing-companion/editorial-data.json, with migration, atomic writes, backup recovery and safe chapter delete/restore handling.
• Editable Chapter Context — Title, POV, story date, chapter status, current editorial pass and change summary can be edited directly while Markdown frontmatter remains authoritative.
• Editorial-pass workflow — Chapters have an independent seven-stage completion checklist with retained completion/reopen history.
• Progressive disclosure — Chapter Context, Editorial Passes and Chapter Notes collapse independently, remember their layout locally per vault, and leave Annotations prominent.
• Safer delivery — The project now has TypeScript regression tests and a GitHub Actions build-and-test gate.

Compatibility

• Obsidian 1.5.0 or later.
• Designed to work across Obsidian desktop platforms. Linux is the primary development environment; Windows is included in the 0.13.0 smoke-test checklist.

Installable files

Attach these files to the GitHub release:

• main.js
• manifest.json
• styles.css

For a manual installation, place all three files in:

<Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/murmuration-writing-companion/

Then enable Murmuration Writing Companion in Obsidian's Community plugins settings.

Data note

Editorial content may contain unpublished manuscript material. The portable .murmuration data can be backed up or shared with the vault, but authors should exclude it from public repositories when those notes are private.
