fix: open the note a Spotlight result points at on the Mac#312
Merged
Conversation
This was referenced Jul 10, 2026
Spotlight results launched the app but never navigated. Two causes: neither target declared NSUserActivityTypes, so the system never handed the CSSearchableItemActionType activity to the SwiftUI scene; and on macOS that scene modifier never fires for Spotlight at all, so the Mac app now catches the activity in an app delegate and forwards the note id over NotificationCenter (same pattern as the ⌘N command). Also folds in the pending project.yml change dropping the App Sandbox from the dev-signed build — sandboxed ad-hoc builds don't surface their indexed items reliably.
