From 9d07ec64e22de455d5bb171fde7cae3c01491b2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bill Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 22:49:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Phase 2: API Unification & Typed Results + Phase 2.1 Fixes Phase 2 - Breaking Changes (v2.0.0): - Added typed result interfaces (FileMetadata, DirectoryMetadata, VaultInfo, SearchResult, SearchMatch) - Unified parameter naming: list_notes now uses 'path' parameter (removed 'folder') - Enhanced tool responses with structured JSON for all tools - list_notes: Returns array of FileMetadata/DirectoryMetadata with full metadata - search_notes: Returns SearchResult with line numbers, snippets, and match ranges - get_vault_info: Returns VaultInfo with comprehensive statistics - Updated all tool descriptions to document structured responses - Version bumped to 2.0.0 (breaking changes) Phase 2.1 - Post-Testing Fixes: - Fixed root listing to exclude vault root folder itself (handles path '', '/', and isRoot()) - Fixed alphabetical sorting to be case-insensitive for stable ordering - Improved directory metadata with better timestamp detection and error handling - Fixed parent folder validation order (check if file before checking existence) - Updated documentation with root path examples and leading slash warnings - Added comprehensive test suite for sorting and root listing behavior - Fixed test mocks to use proper TFile/TFolder instances Tests: All 64 tests passing Build: Successful, no errors --- CHANGELOG.md | 155 +++++++++++++++++ PHASE_2.1_FIXES.md | 195 +++++++++++++++++++++ PHASE_2_SUMMARY.md | 238 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ROADMAP.md | 36 ++-- manifest.json | 2 +- package.json | 2 +- src/server/mcp-server.ts | 2 +- src/tools/index.ts | 12 +- src/tools/note-tools.ts | 18 +- src/tools/vault-tools.ts | 207 ++++++++++++++++++---- src/types/mcp-types.ts | 46 +++++ tests/list-notes-sorting.test.ts | 192 +++++++++++++++++++++ tests/parent-folder-detection.test.ts | 8 +- 13 files changed, 1043 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) create mode 100644 PHASE_2.1_FIXES.md create mode 100644 PHASE_2_SUMMARY.md create mode 100644 tests/list-notes-sorting.test.ts diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index e7242cb..8c255be 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -2,6 +2,161 @@ All notable changes to the Obsidian MCP Server plugin will be documented in this file. +## [2.0.0] -

Root Listing Semantics ✅ + +**Problem:** Unclear how to target the vault root and whether it returns direct children. + +**Solution:** +- Defined canonical root path handling: `undefined`, `""` (empty string), or `"."` all represent the vault root +- Fixed root listing to exclude the vault root folder itself (which has `path === ''`) +- Confirmed that root listing returns direct children only (not a synthetic root node) +- Added explicit `isRootPath` check for code clarity + +**Code Changes:** +```typescript +// Before: Implicit root handling +if (targetPath) { ... } else { ... } + +// After: Explicit root path normalization +const isRootPath = !path || path === '' || path === '.'; +if (isRootPath) { + // List direct children of root +} else { + // List direct children of specified folder +} +``` + +**Examples:** +```typescript +// All of these list the vault root's direct children: +list_notes() // undefined +list_notes({ path: "" }) // empty string +list_notes({ path: "." }) // dot +``` + +### 2. Case-Insensitive Alphabetical Sorting ✅ + +**Problem:** Sorting was case-sensitive, leading to unexpected order (e.g., "CTP Lancaster" before "construction Game"). + +**Solution:** +- Changed sorting to use case-insensitive comparison +- Maintains stable ordering: directories first, then files +- Within each group, items are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive) + +**Code Changes:** +```typescript +// Before: Case-sensitive sort +return a.name.localeCompare(b.name); + +// After: Case-insensitive sort +return a.name.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.name.toLowerCase()); +``` + +**Test Cases:** +- "Archive", "construction Game", "CTP Lancaster", "daily" → sorted correctly +- "apple.md", "Banana.md", "cherry.md", "Zebra.md" → sorted correctly + +### 3. Directory Modified Timestamp ✅ + +**Problem:** Directory `modified` field was always `0`. + +**Solution:** +- Added logic to populate `modified` from filesystem if available +- Falls back to `0` when filesystem metadata is not available +- Added documentation explaining when `modified` may be `0` +- Added error handling to prevent crashes if stat access fails + +**Code Changes:** +```typescript +// Try to get modified time from filesystem if available +let modified = 0; +try { + if ((folder as any).stat && typeof (folder as any).stat.mtime === 'number') { + modified = (folder as any).stat.mtime; + } +} catch (error) { + // Silently fail - modified will remain 0 +} +``` + +**Important Note:** Obsidian's `TFolder` class doesn't include a `stat` property in the official API (unlike `TFile`). This means **directories will typically show `modified: 0`** as this is the expected behavior. The code attempts to access it anyway in case it's populated at runtime, but in most cases it won't be available. + +### 4.
