Monolith Notes v2.4.7 — Obsidian Brain Graph & 18% Depth Defocus

Monolith Notes v2.4.7 Release Notes

🧠 Obsidian Brain Graph Engine (Anatomical Cortex Layout)

• Cortical Lobes & Cerebellum: Notes are intelligently mapped across 8 anatomical cortical lobes (Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital across left & right hemispheres) using Fermat spiral packing, with unlinked notes clustered in a posterior cerebellar base.
• Medial Fissure & Anatomical Silhouette: Preserves the natural longitudinal fissure cleft between hemispheres with an organic superior axial brain contour silhouette.
• Curved Axonal Tracts: Inter-note connections render as organic curved white matter fiber pathways with subcortical control points and corpus callosum bridging arcs.
• Bimodal Switcher: Seamless spring-animated morphing between 🧠 Brain (anatomical cortex) and 🌌 Galaxy (force-directed constellation) with zero layout thrashing.

🌫️ 18% Atmospheric Depth Defocus Blur (Zero-Allocation 120 FPS)

• Hardware-Accelerated Depth Vignette: Selecting any note casts an engineered radial depth-of-field defocus scrim (18% veil at focus center, deepening to 62% at periphery) that creates the visual perception of camera bokeh without expensive RenderEffect convolution.
• Single-Tap Focus Isolation: Unselected nodes fade to subtle 0.07× micro-dots and unlinked edges drop to 0.02× near-invisibility.
• Action Potential Particles: Selected neural pathways illuminate in radiant amber-gold with animated traveling action potential pulses.
• Glare Reduction Typography: Replaced harsh stark-white labels with soft silver-gray (#C7C7CC), dramatically reducing eye fatigue on OLED screens.

⚡ Performance & Polish

• Zero frame drops or heap allocations on mid-range devices (locked 60–120 FPS on Samsung Galaxy M31).
• Touch boundary isolation ensuring the mode selector pill, search bar, and dismiss actions respond crisply without canvas touch interference.

Monolith Notes v2.4.6 — Obsidian-Grade Graph & Linked References

Monolith Notes v2.4.6 Release Notes

🌟 Knowledge Graph Overhaul (Entropy Elimination & Calm Launch)

• Silent Pre-Stabilization: Physics simulation runs 40 iterations in background before rendering, preventing explosive shaking, bouncing, and visual chaos on open.
• Dynamic Bounding-Box Auto-Fit: Graph automatically computes the constellation span and scales the camera to fit the entire vault (even 140+ nodes) seamlessly in viewport.
• Obsidian-Grade Spatial Label Filtering:
  • Overview Level: Only the top 4 landmark core hubs show faint labels, keeping the galaxy serene and readable.
  • Selected Node: Illuminates the active note and its 1-hop connected neighbors with high-contrast text.
  • Deep Zoom: Progressively reveals labels as the user zooms in without overlapping clutter.
• Subtle Constellation Links: Refined link stroke to subtle hairlines with connected links brightly highlighted.
• Compact Selected Node Capsule: Replaced bulky floating modal with a sleek, non-intrusive bottom capsule featuring domain cluster dot, title truncation, link stats, and quick dismiss [X].

🔗 Linked References & Backlinks Overhaul

• Fixed Vertical Text Bug: Constrained note titles with Modifier.weight(1f) and ellipsis, preventing long titles from pushing folder pills into vertical text columns.
• Muted Horizontal Breadcrumb: Folder name now displays as a clean secondary breadcrumb.
• Smart Drawer Pagination: Displays the first 4 references cleanly with an expandable Show all X references toggle to keep long documents manageable.
• OLED Dark Aesthetic: Subtle 0.5dp borders, pure black contrast, and tactile haptic feedback.

v2.4.5: Large Vault Knowledge Graph Optimization & Spatial Label Filtering

What's New in v2.4.5

• Obsidian-Grade Spatial Label Filtering: Automatically prevents label overlapping and visual clutter on large 100+ note vaults. Core landmark hubs are displayed cleanly at overview zooms, connected neighbors illuminate on selection, and granular labels dynamically reveal as you zoom in.
• Calibrated Core Hub Centrality: Refined PageRank and degree scoring in KnowledgeGraphEngine so major anchor concepts stand out with prominence.
• Installed & Verified on Device: Successfully tested with a 144-note, 372-wikilink realistic knowledge base.

v2.4.4: 5 Super-Minimal Dark Themes & Instant Note Deletion

What's New in v2.4.4

• 5 Curated Super-Minimal Dark Themes: Pure OLED black (#000000) backgrounds with deep matte card structures and zero neon:
  1. Obsidian: Pure OLED Black & Muted Violet (#8B5CF6)
  2. Titanium: Pure Monochrome Steel (#E2E8F0)
  3. Amber: Pure OLED Black & Tungsten Gold (#D99B35)
  4. Pine: Pure OLED Black & Muted Sage (#5BA67D)
  5. Slate: Pure OLED Black & Steel Blue (#6B9BD1)
• 1-Tap In-Settings Theme Switcher: Minimal, instant theme chips under Appearance in Settings with live preview and tactile haptic feedback.

• Full Test Suite Verification: All 26 theme palettes and minimal dark theme suites verified.

v2.4.3: WikiLink Infinite Loop Fix, Create & Open Flow & Obsidian Minimal Theme

What's Changed in Monolith v2.4.3

🔗 WikiLink Linking System & Infinite Loop Fixes

• Cyclic Loop Prevention: Resolved infinite back-navigation loops when traversing bi-directional links (e.g. Note A ↔ Note B). If a target note already exists in the navigation backstack, the stack is pruned back up to that note (popUpTo semantics) rather than accumulating duplicate cycles.
• Self-Link Guards: Clicking a link to the current note is cleanly ignored, preventing self-referencing duplicate entries in the backstack.
• Memory & Stack Bounds: Enforced a 25-entry backstack limit and automatic purging of deleted notes.
• Race Condition Prevention: De-conflicted BackHandler between the activity and editor so back presses never trigger duplicate pops.

⚡ Create & Open Linked Notes

• Instant Create & Open: When typing a WikiLink query for a note that doesn't exist yet, the autocomplete bar now provides:
  • + Link "Title": Inserts the link into the current document.
  • ⚡ Create & Open: Immediately inserts the link, saves the current note, creates the target note, and navigates straight into it.
• Direct Edit Mode on Creation: Newly created linked notes now open immediately in Edit Mode with keyboard and body focused, eliminating the blank read-only preview screen.
• Clean Replacement Syntax: WikiLink autocomplete replacement now scans for closing brackets on the current line to eliminate orphaned syntax and double spaces.

🖤 Streamlined Obsidian Minimal Theme

• Unified Obsidian Theme: Removed the bloated 23-card theme picker in favor of a singular, refined Obsidian Minimal theme.
• True OLED Contrast: Pure OLED black (#000000), subtle matte cards (#121214), elevated surfaces (#1E1E22), minimal dividers (#222226), and signature Obsidian Violet (#8B5CF6).
• Clean Appearance Settings: Settings sheet now directly displays the active Obsidian Minimal theme alongside the screen capture security toggle.
