feat: support independent custom note titles - #29
Merged
Conversation
- Note: title decoupled from body; displayTitle falls back to derived first-line title when custom title is empty - NoteStore: add updateTitle(); updateBody no longer overwrites custom titles - NoteEditor: header title is now an editable TextField with debounced autosave, Enter-to-body focus, and context-menu reset to auto title - LibraryWindow: editable title in detail header; search matches custom titles - Tests: add custom title behavior checks Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe note model now supports custom titles with dynamic body-derived fallbacks. ChangesCustom note title support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Custom note titles are persisted and displayed independently, but users of localized app bundles will see the new title prompts and reset action in English. This is a bounded user-facing localization issue and does not block core note behavior. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Localize the new title controls.
The new title prompts and reset action use English literals. In a non-English bundle, these controls remain English while the fallback title uses L10n.text("note.untitled"). Add localization keys and use L10n at both sites.

Before titles were independent, every body edit wrote the derived title into the row — so on upgrade every existing note holds a stored copy that the new rule would read as a custom title, freezing its tab at whatever the first line said on upgrade day. A stored title still equal to the derivation was never anyone's choice; one pass at load clears it, and those notes keep renaming themselves. The title prompt and the reset action also join the string catalogues — 'Title' / 'Reset to Auto Title' were hard-coded English in a localised app; the note.untitled key replaces the literal 'New note'.

Summary
Currently, note titles are strictly auto-derived from the first non-empty line
of the note body. Editing the body constantly re-derives the title, making it
impossible to give a note a custom or concise title without prepending a
heading to the content.
This PR adds support for custom, independent note titles:
TextFieldsupporting debounced autosave (NoteStore.updateTitle).cleared), it smoothly falls back to the auto-derived first line
(
Note.derivedTitle), and finally toL10n.text("note.untitled").the title field to quickly revert back to derived titles.
LibraryDetailwith the same title editingcapabilities and improved library search to match against
displayTitle.testCustomNoteTitleBehavior()covering customoverrides, clearing behavior, and fallback logic.
