Summary

When a note has an independent custom title, the first line of the body is
actual note content rather than a derived title. Previously, NotePreviewCard
and Note.preview unconditionally called lines.dropFirst(), causing
single-line notes with custom titles to render "Empty note" in hover cards
and empty subtitles in the library list.

Changes

  • NotePreviewCard: Starts preview from line 1 of the body when
    note.hasCustomTitle is true; otherwise drops line 1. Correctly shows "Empty note" only when no preview lines exist.
  • Note.preview: Includes line 1 in the list subtitle preview if the note
    has a custom title.
  • EditorStyleEngineTests: Added test assertions for single-line notes
    with custom titles and preview extraction behavior.

Fixes #30

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Note previews now correctly display the first body line when a custom title is set.
    • Notes without custom titles continue omitting the first line when it serves as the title.
    • Single-line notes with custom titles now show their body content.
    • Preview cards display the appropriate empty-state message when fewer than four preview lines are available.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for custom-title preview behavior and restoring default behavior after clearing a custom title.

Note.preview and NotePreviewCard now include the first body line for notes with custom titles. Untitled notes retain derived-title behavior. Tests cover custom, single-line, and cleared-title cases.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5d7d9

Custom-title previews now retain first body lines, but notes whose available preview content is only whitespace can still display a blank subtitle instead of “Empty note.” This is a bounded presentation issue that should be corrected before merge if empty-state consistency is required.

Explanation

The changes implement custom-title preview extraction and add relevant tests. However, the updated fallback condition appears to show “Empty note” when fewer than four preview lines exist, which conflicts with issue #30’s requirement to show “Empty note” only when no preview content exists.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Base empty-state detection on preview content.

Note.preview returns an empty string for whitespace-only content, but NotePreviewCard treats a line such as " " as non-empty. The card then renders a blank row instead of L10n.text("note.empty"), so it disagrees with the model for bodies such as " " or "Title\n ".

Filter whitespace-only lines before checking previewLines.isEmpty.

Proposed fix
-                let previewLines = Array((note.hasCustomTitle ? lines : Array(lines.dropFirst())).prefix(4))
+                let previewLines = Array(
+                    (note.hasCustomTitle ? lines : Array(lines.dropFirst()))
+                        .filter { !$0.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces).isEmpty }
+                        .prefix(4)
+                )
