Merlay 0.3.2

Merlay 0.3.2 — Obsidian review compliance and security hardening

Mermaid, your way. A native visual overlay editor for Mermaid diagrams in Obsidian.

Fixes & Compliance

• Obsidian Review Compliance:
  • No Static Style Assignments (obsidianmd/no-static-styles-assignment):
    • Replaced all static inline style assignments on exported SVG elements with standard SVG presentation attributes (fill, stroke, stroke-width, stroke-dasharray).
    • Added .merlay-color-probe utility class to styles.css to read computed theme variables without inline style mutations.
    • Used dynamic variable bindings for root SVG dimensions and export background colors.
  • Safe SVG Parsing (@microsoft/sdl/no-inner-html):
    • Removed unsafe div.innerHTML fallback in parseSvgString(), relying entirely on standard DOMParser with image/svg+xml and text/html.
    • Removed exportDiagram.ts from compliance allowlist; zero innerHTML exceptions remain in the codebase.
  • ESLint Comments (eslint-comments/require-description):
    • Eliminated undescribed eslint-disable directive comments; refactored showNotice() to resolve runtime Obsidian module safely across headless and plugin environments.
• Static Compliance Test Suite:
  • Upgraded tests/obsidianCompliance.test.ts to statically test for forbidden static style assignments, undescribed directive comments, and unverified innerHTML usage on every build.
