Summary

  • Extension-less / dotfile bypass (9f4b5a2): The old isFile() heuristic classified paths without a recognizable extension (dotfiles like .env, Makefile, Obsidian-style folder names like 1. Project) as "directories" and skipped the extension check entirely. Renamed isAllowed()isAllowedFilePath() and removed isFile() so the extension filter is unconditional — any path that doesn't end in a recognized extension is blocked.

  • Leading-slash / ..-segment bypass (685e7b0): Path filter checks were called with the raw user-supplied path (e.g. /private/secret.md, notes/../private/secret.md), which glob patterns like private/** didn't match. Introduced normalizePath() and cleanRelativePath() on FileSystemService to resolve every path to its canonical vault-relative form before handing it to the filter, so /.obsidian/note.md and folder/../.obsidian/note.md both reduce to .obsidian/note.md and are correctly blocked.

  • Version bump (eeff35e): Bumped to v0.11.3 and updated CHANGELOG.

Test plan

  • Four new integration tests cover leading-slash and ..-segment bypass against both custom patterns and the built-in .obsidian block
  • Existing PathFilter test suite updated for isAllowedFilePath() rename — all pass
  • Verify readNote, writeNote, patchNote, exists, isDirectory, deleteNote, moveNote, batchRead, updateFrontmatter, getNotesInfo, manageTags, listVault, and searchVault all use the normalized path before filtering
  • SearchService updated to call isAllowedFilePath()

Introduces a new patch_note tool that allows replacing specific strings in notes without rewriting the entire file, reducing token usage and improving performance for small edits.

Features:
- String-based replacement with oldString/newString parameters
- Safety: fails if multiple matches found (unless replaceAll=true)
- Preserves frontmatter and file structure
- Returns match count and detailed success/error messages

Changes:
- Added PatchNoteParams and PatchNoteResult types
- Implemented patchNote() method in FileSystemService
- Added patch_note tool to MCP server
- Comprehensive test coverage (8 new tests)
- Bumped version to 0.6.0
## Changes

- Add comprehensive tests for patch_note feature (16 tests)
  - Single/multiple occurrence handling
  - Empty string validation
  - Special characters and whitespace preservation
  - Case sensitivity
  - Performance testing

- Add validation for empty oldString/newString in patchNote

- Reorganize test structure
  - Move tests from tests/ to src/ (co-location)
  - Merge filesystem, patch, and integration tests into src/filesystem.test.ts
  - Move frontmatter tests to src/frontmatter.test.ts

All 38 tests passing
- Remove .npmrc from git tracking to prevent auth token exposure
- Add .npmrc to .gitignore for security
- Update package-lock.json with peer dependency changes
- Remove duplicate GitHub Sponsors badge from README
- Add npm version badge as second badge in README
- Badges now: GitHub Stars, npm version, Sponsors, Ko-Fi, Liberapay
### Added
- prettyPrint parameter (default: false) for all JSON responses
- Token-optimized responses with 40-60% reduction

### Changed
- Minified search result field names (path→p, title→t, excerpt→ex, matchCount→mc, lineNumber→ln)
- Reduced search excerpt context from 50 to 21 characters
- Removed redundant fields from all responses
- Compact JSON format by default for minimal token usage

### Performance
- 40-60% token reduction in typical API responses
- More efficient for high-volume operations
- Better cost optimization for AI interactions

All tests passing (76/76).

send-broadcast.ts uses Node builtins that aren't available
in the Astro/Cloudflare type context. It's a CLI-only script
and doesn't need to be checked during the website build.
Replace the single hardcoded binary check with a cascading priority
table and stale PATH detection. Obsidian 1.12.7+ bundles a dedicated
obsidian-cli binary (~10x faster) and changes the PATH registration
mechanism from a ~/.zprofile entry to a /usr/local/bin symlink.

isFile() previously returned false for dotfiles (dot at position 0)
and extension-less filenames (no dot), causing isAllowed() to skip
the extension allowlist check entirely. Files like .env, .netrc, and
`secrets` were readable by any connected client.

Simplify isFile() to return true for anything without a trailing
slash, deferring directory detection to the filesystem layer which
already rejects directories independently.
Paths passed to PathFilter were raw user-supplied strings, allowing
callers to bypass path and file extension filters by adding "/" to the
beginning of paths or "../" segments within paths. For example, "/.git"
or "folder/../.git" would bypass the ".git" ignore pattern, and
"/secrets" or "notes/../secrets" would bypass the allowed extensions
filter.

FileSystemService now normalizes paths to their vault-relative canonical
form before the filter check. PathFilter's extension allowlist is also
made unconditional (removes the isFile() heuristic), and isAllowed() is
renamed to isAllowedFilePath() to make the expected input and behaviour
explicit.

Hey @clifbromley, thanks for this. The branch is well behind main and needs a rebase. Also note 0.11.4 just landed PathFilter hardening (case/dot-space deny-list bypass, GHSA-j99q-93c9-h869), so part of this may already be covered. Could you rebase onto current main so we can see what's still needed on top of 0.11.4? Happy to review then.
