ZenNotes v1.8.1

Highlights

• Open any markdown file with ZenNotes (#56). ZenNotes now registers as a handler for .md and .markdown files, so you can open them straight from Finder/Explorer ("Open With"), a double-click, or by dropping them on the dock. A file inside a vault opens as a normal note; a file anywhere else opens in a standalone editor window with full editing and live preview — plus a Move to Vault button to pull it into your vault when you want. From the terminal: zen open <file.md>.

Fixes

• Editor no longer goes blank when toggling edit ↔ preview in the standalone external-file window and the pop-out floating-note window. The editor keeps its text across the toggle, and in-progress edits are preserved.
• Reverse-proxy static assets now load (#58). When self-hosting under ZENNOTES_BASE_PATH, CSS/JS/manifest were served as index.html (wrong MIME type) and rejected by the browser; the static handler now strips the base-path prefix so assets resolve beneath the configured subpath.
