+
+## [1.1.1] - 2025-11-07
+
+### Fixed
+- **Type Safety**: Replaced all `any` types with properly defined TypeScript interfaces and types throughout the codebase
+  - Defined `ElectronSafeStorage` interface for Electron's safeStorage API
+  - Created `LegacySettings` interface for settings migration
+  - Defined `JSONValue`, `JSONRPCParams`, and `JSONSchemaProperty` types for JSON-RPC and MCP protocol
+  - Created `YAMLValue` and `FrontmatterValue` types for frontmatter handling
+  - Updated middleware to use proper Express types (`NextFunction`, `JSONRPCResponse`)
+- **Console Logging**: Removed all `console.log` statements to comply with Obsidian plugin submission requirements
+  - Replaced user-controlled logging with `console.debug` for optional tool call logging
+  - Only `console.warn`, `console.error`, and `console.debug` methods remain
+- **Promise Handling**: Fixed async callback handling in DOM event listeners
+  - Wrapped async event handlers with void IIFE pattern to properly handle promises in void contexts
+  - Fixed 7 event listeners in settings UI and notification history
+- **Import Statements**: Improved `require()` usage with proper TypeScript typing and ESLint directives
+  - Added type assertions for Electron and Node.js crypto modules
+  - Included justification comments for necessary `require()` usage
+- **Settings UI**: Replaced direct DOM `createElement()` calls with Obsidian's `Setting.setHeading()` API
+  - Updated all heading elements in settings tab to use official API
+- **Text Formatting**: Applied sentence case to all user-facing text per Obsidian UI guidelines
+  - Updated command names, setting labels, button text, and notice messages
+- **Code Quality**: Various cleanup improvements
+  - Removed unused `vault.delete()` method in favor of `trashFile()`
+  - Fixed regex character class format from `\x00-\x1F` to `\u0000-\u001F` for clarity
+  - Verified no unused imports, variables, or switch case scoping issues
+
+### Documentation
+- Added comprehensive verification report documenting all fixes for plugin submission review

+
+## [1.1.0] - 2025-10-30
+
+### Added
+- **Word Count**: `create_note`, `update_note`, and `update_sections` now automatically return word count for the note content
+  - Excludes YAML frontmatter and Obsidian comments (`%% ... %%`) from word count
+  - Includes all other content (code blocks, inline code, headings, lists, etc.)
+- **Link Validation**: `create_note`, `update_note`, and `update_sections` now automatically validate all wikilinks and embeds
+  - Validates basic wikilinks (`[[Note]]`), heading links (`[[Note#Heading]]`), and embeds (`![[file.ext]]`)
+  - Categorizes links as: valid, broken notes (note doesn't exist), or broken headings (note exists but heading missing)
+  - Returns detailed broken link information including line number and context snippet
+  - Provides human-readable summary (e.g., "15 links: 12 valid, 2 broken notes, 1 broken heading")
+  - Can be disabled via `validateLinks: false` parameter for performance-critical operations
+- **Word Count for Read Operations**: Extended word count support to read operations
+  - `read_note` now automatically includes `wordCount` when returning content (with `withContent` or `parseFrontmatter` options)
+  - `stat` supports optional `includeWordCount` parameter to compute word count (with performance warning)
+  - `list` supports optional `includeWordCount` parameter to compute word count for all files (with performance warning)
+  - All read operations use the same word counting rules as write operations (excludes frontmatter and Obsidian comments)
+  - Best-effort error handling: unreadable files are skipped in batch operations without failing the entire request
+
+### Changed
+- `create_note`, `update_note`, and `update_sections` response format now includes `wordCount` and optional `linkValidation` fields
+- `updateNote` now returns structured JSON response instead of simple success message (includes success, path, versionId, modified, wordCount, linkValidation)
+- `read_note` response now includes `wordCount` field when returning content
+- `stat` response includes optional `wordCount` field in metadata when `includeWordCount: true`
+- `list` response includes optional `wordCount` field for each file when `includeWordCount: true`
+- Type definitions updated: `ParsedNote` and `FileMetadata` interfaces now include optional `wordCount?: number` field
+
+---
+
+## [1.0.1] - 2025-10-28
+
+### Fixed
+- Updated config path examples from `.obsidian/**` to `templates/**` in tool descriptions to avoid implying hardcoded configuration directory paths
+- Removed "MCP Server" from command display names per Obsidian plugin guidelines (commands now show as "Start server", "Stop server", etc.)
+- Replaced deprecated `vault.delete()` with `app.fileManager.trashFile()` to respect user's trash preferences configured in Obsidian settings
+- Extracted all inline JavaScript styles to semantic CSS classes with `mcp-*` namespace for better maintainability and Obsidian plugin compliance
+- Applied CSS extraction to notification history modal for consistency
+
+### Changed
+- Command palette entries now display shorter names without redundant plugin name prefix
+- File deletion operations now respect user's configured trash location (system trash or `.trash/` folder)
+- Settings panel and notification history UI now use centralized CSS classes instead of inline styles

+# ObsidianReviewBot Fixes Design
+
+**Date:** 2025-10-28
+**Status:** Approved
+**PR:** https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/pull/8298
+
+## Overview
+
+This design addresses all required issues identified by ObsidianReviewBot for the MCP Server plugin submission to the Obsidian community plugin repository.
+
+## Required Fixes
+
+1. **Config path documentation** - Update hardcoded `.obsidian` examples to generic alternatives
+2. **Command naming** - Remove "MCP Server" from command display names
+3. **File deletion API** - Replace `vault.delete()` with `app.fileManager.trashFile()`
+4. **Inline styles** - Extract 90+ JavaScript style assignments to CSS with semantic class names
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+**Approach:** Fix-by-fix across files - Complete one type of fix across all affected files before moving to the next fix type.
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Groups related changes together for clearer git history
+- Easier to test each fix type independently
+- Simpler code review with focused commits
+
+## Fix Order and Details
+
+### Fix 1: Config Path Documentation
+
+**Files affected:** `src/tools/index.ts`
+
+**Changes:**
+- Line 235: Update exclude pattern example from `['.obsidian/**', '*.tmp']` to `['templates/**', '*.tmp']`
+- Line 300: Same update for consistency
+
+**Rationale:** Obsidian's configuration directory isn't necessarily `.obsidian` - users can configure this. Examples should use generic folders rather than system directories.
+
+**Risk:** None - documentation only, no functional changes
+
+### Fix 2: Command Naming
+
+**Files affected:** `src/main.ts`
+
+**Changes:**
+- Line 54: "Start MCP Server" → "Start server"
+- Line 62: "Stop MCP Server" → "Stop server"
+- Line 70: "Restart MCP Server" → "Restart server"
+
+**Note:** Command IDs remain unchanged (stable API requirement)
+
+**Rationale:** Obsidian plugin guidelines state command names should not include the plugin name itself.
+
+**Risk:** Low - purely cosmetic change to command palette display
+
+### Fix 3: File Deletion API
+
+**Files affected:** `src/tools/note-tools.ts`
+
+**Changes:**
+- Line 162: `await this.vault.delete(existingFile)` → `await this.fileManager.trashFile(existingFile)`
+- Line 546: `await this.vault.delete(file)` → `await this.fileManager.trashFile(file)`
+
+**Context:**
+- Line 162: Overwrite conflict resolution when creating files
+- Line 546: Permanent delete operation (when soft=false)
+
+**Rationale:** Use `app.fileManager.trashFile()` instead of direct deletion to respect user's trash preferences configured in Obsidian settings.
+
+**Risk:** Medium - changes deletion behavior, requires testing both scenarios
+
+**Testing:**
+- Verify overwrite conflict resolution still works
+- Verify permanent delete operation respects user preferences
+- Confirm files go to user's configured trash location
+
+### Fix 4: Inline Styles to CSS
+
+**Files affected:**
+- `styles.css` (add new classes)
+- `src/settings.ts` (remove inline styles, add CSS classes)
+
+**New CSS Classes:**
+
+```css
+/* Authentication section */
+.mcp-auth-section { margin-bottom: 20px; }
+.mcp-auth-summary {
+  font-size: 1.17em;
+  font-weight: bold;
+  margin-bottom: 12px;
+  cursor: pointer;
+}
+
+/* API key display */
+.mcp-key-display {
+  padding: 12px;
+  background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+  border-radius: 4px;
+  font-family: monospace;
+  font-size: 0.9em;
+  word-break: break-all;
+  user-select: all;
+  cursor: text;
+  margin-bottom: 16px;
+}
+
+/* Tab navigation */
+.mcp-config-tabs {
+  display: flex;
+  gap: 8px;
+  margin-bottom: 16px;
+  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--background-modifier-border);
+}
+
+.mcp-tab {
+  padding: 8px 16px;
+  border: none;
+  background: none;
+  cursor: pointer;
+  border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
+}
+
+.mcp-tab-active {
+  border-bottom-color: var(--interactive-accent);
+  font-weight: bold;
+}
+
+/* Config display */
+.mcp-config-display {
+  padding: 12px;
+  background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+  border-radius: 4px;
+  font-size: 0.85em;
+  overflow-x: auto;
+  user-select: text;
+  cursor: text;
+  margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+/* Helper text */
+.mcp-file-path {
+  padding: 8px;
+  background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+  border-radius: 4px;
+  font-family: monospace;
+  font-size: 0.9em;
+  margin-bottom: 12px;
+  color: var(--text-muted);
+}
+
+.mcp-usage-note {
+  font-size: 0.9em;
+  color: var(--text-muted);
+  font-style: italic;
+}
+
+/* Additional utility classes */
+.mcp-heading {
+  margin-top: 24px;
+  margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+.mcp-container { margin-bottom: 20px; }
+
+.mcp-button-group {
+  display: flex;
+  gap: 8px;
+  margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+.mcp-label {
+  margin-bottom: 4px;
+  font-size: 0.9em;
+  color: var(--text-muted);
+}
+```
+
+**Changes to settings.ts:**
+- Remove all `.style.` property assignments (90+ lines)
+- Add corresponding CSS class names using `.addClass()` or `className` property
+- Preserve dynamic styling for tab active state (use conditional class application)
+
+**Rationale:** Obsidian plugin guidelines require styles to be in CSS files rather than applied via JavaScript. This improves maintainability and follows platform conventions.
+
+**Risk:** High - largest refactor, visual regression possible
+
+**Testing:**
+- Build and load in Obsidian
+- Verify settings panel appearance unchanged in both light and dark themes
+- Test all interactive elements: collapsible sections, tabs, buttons
+- Confirm responsive behavior
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+**After each fix:**
+1. Run `npm test` - ensure no test failures
+2. Run `npm run build` - verify TypeScript compilation
+3. Check for linting issues
+
+**Before final commit:**
+1. Full test suite passes
+2. Clean build with no warnings
+3. Manual smoke test of all settings UI features
+4. Visual verification in both light and dark themes
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- All 4 ObsidianReviewBot required issues resolved
+- No test regressions
+- No visual regressions in settings panel
+- Clean build with no TypeScript errors
+- Ready for PR re-submission

+
+## Task 3: Fix File Deletion API
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/tools/note-tools.ts:162`
+- Modify: `src/tools/note-tools.ts:546`
+
+**Step 1: Replace vault.delete() in overwrite scenario (line 162)**
+
+In `src/tools/note-tools.ts`, find the overwrite conflict resolution code around line 157-163:
+
+```typescript
+} else if (onConflict === 'overwrite') {
+	// Delete existing file before creating
+	const existingFile = PathUtils.resolveFile(this.app, normalizedPath);

+
+In `src/tools/note-tools.ts`, find the permanent deletion code around line 544-547:
+
+```typescript
+} else {
+	// Permanent deletion
+	await this.fileManager.trashFile(file);
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Verify changes**
+
+Run: `npm run build`
+Expected: Clean build with no TypeScript errors
+
+**Step 4: Run tests**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: All 716 tests pass (the test mocks should handle both APIs)
+
+**Step 5: Run specific note-tools tests**
+
+Run: `npm test -- tests/note-tools.test.ts`
+Expected: All note-tools tests pass, including:
+- createNote with onConflict='overwrite'
+- deleteNote with soft=false
+
+**Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/tools/note-tools.ts
+git commit -m "fix: use fileManager.trashFile instead of vault.delete
+
+- Replace vault.delete() with app.fileManager.trashFile()
+- Respects user's trash preferences in Obsidian settings
+- Applies to both overwrite conflicts and permanent deletes
+- Addresses ObsidianReviewBot feedback"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Extract Inline Styles to CSS
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `styles.css` (add new classes)
+- Modify: `src/settings.ts` (remove inline styles, add CSS classes)
+
+**Step 1: Add CSS classes to styles.css**
+
+Append the following CSS classes to `styles.css`:
+
+```css
+/* MCP Settings Panel Styles */
+
+/* Authentication section */
+.mcp-auth-section {
+	margin-bottom: 20px;
+}
+
+.mcp-auth-summary {
+	font-size: 1.17em;
+	font-weight: bold;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+	cursor: pointer;
+}
+
+/* API key display */
+.mcp-api-key-container {
+	margin-bottom: 20px;
+	margin-left: 0;
+}
+
+.mcp-button-group {
+	display: flex;
+	gap: 8px;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+.mcp-key-display {
+	padding: 12px;
+	background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+	border-radius: 4px;
+	font-family: monospace;
+	font-size: 0.9em;
+	word-break: break-all;
+	user-select: all;
+	cursor: text;
+	margin-bottom: 16px;
+}
+
+/* Headings and containers */
+.mcp-heading {
+	margin-top: 24px;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+.mcp-container {
+	margin-bottom: 20px;
+}
+
+/* Tab navigation */
+.mcp-tab-container {
+	display: flex;
+	gap: 8px;
+	margin-bottom: 16px;
+	border-bottom: 1px solid var(--background-modifier-border);
+}
+
+.mcp-tab {
+	padding: 8px 16px;
+	border: none;
+	background: none;
+	cursor: pointer;
+	border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
+	font-weight: normal;
+}
+
+.mcp-tab-active {
+	border-bottom-color: var(--interactive-accent);
+	font-weight: bold;
+}
+
+/* Tab content */
+.mcp-tab-content {
+	margin-top: 16px;
+}
+
+/* Labels and helper text */
+.mcp-label {
+	margin-bottom: 4px;
+	font-size: 0.9em;
+	color: var(--text-muted);
+}
+
+.mcp-file-path {
+	padding: 8px;
+	background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+	border-radius: 4px;
+	font-family: monospace;
+	font-size: 0.9em;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+	color: var(--text-muted);
+}
+
+.mcp-usage-note {
+	font-size: 0.9em;
+	color: var(--text-muted);
+	font-style: italic;
+}
+
+/* Config display */
+.mcp-config-display {
+	padding: 12px;
+	background-color: var(--background-secondary);
+	border-radius: 4px;
+	font-size: 0.85em;
+	overflow-x: auto;
+	user-select: text;
+	cursor: text;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+/* Copy button spacing */
+.mcp-copy-button {
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+}
+
+/* Notification section */
+.mcp-notif-section {
+	margin-bottom: 20px;
+}
+
+.mcp-notif-summary {
+	font-size: 1.17em;
+	font-weight: bold;
+	margin-bottom: 12px;
+	cursor: pointer;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Update authentication section in settings.ts (lines 199-205)**
+
+In `src/settings.ts`, find the `displayAuthenticationDetails` method around line 199 and replace inline styles:
+
+```typescript
+const authDetails = containerEl.createEl('details', { cls: 'mcp-auth-section' });
+authDetails.open = true;
+const authSummary = authDetails.createEl('summary', {
+	text: 'Authentication',
+	cls: 'mcp-auth-summary'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 3: Update API key container styles (lines 217-224)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const apiKeyContainer = containerEl.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-api-key-container' });
+const apiKeyButtonContainer = apiKeyContainer.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-button-group' });
+```
+
+**Step 4: Update key display container styles (lines 247-255)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const keyDisplayContainer = apiKeyContainer.createDiv({
+	text: apiKey,
+	cls: 'mcp-key-display'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 5: Update config section headings (lines 260-264)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const configHeading = containerEl.createEl('h3', {
+	text: 'Connection Configuration',
+	cls: 'mcp-heading'
+});
+const configContainer = containerEl.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-container' });
+```
+
+**Step 6: Update tab container styles (lines 271-285)**
+
+Replace the tab container creation:
+```typescript
+const tabContainer = configContainer.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-tab-container' });
+
+const windsurfTab = tabContainer.createEl('button', {
+	text: 'Windsurf',
+	cls: this.activeConfigTab === 'windsurf' ? 'mcp-tab mcp-tab-active' : 'mcp-tab'
+});
+
+const claudeCodeTab = tabContainer.createEl('button', {
+	text: 'Claude Code',
+	cls: this.activeConfigTab === 'claude-code' ? 'mcp-tab mcp-tab-active' : 'mcp-tab'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 7: Update tab content and labels (lines 311-327)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const tabContent = configContainer.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-tab-content' });
+
+const fileLocationLabel = tabContent.createDiv({
+	text: 'Configuration file location:',
+	cls: 'mcp-label'
+});
+
+const filePathDisplay = tabContent.createDiv({
+	text: filePath,
+	cls: 'mcp-file-path'
+});
+
+const copyConfigButton = tabContent.createEl('button', {
+	text: 'Copy to Clipboard',
+	cls: 'mcp-copy-button'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 8: Update config display (lines 339-346)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const configDisplay = tabContent.createEl('pre', { cls: 'mcp-config-display' });
+
+const usageNoteDisplay = tabContent.createDiv({
+	text: usageNote,
+	cls: 'mcp-usage-note'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 9: Update notification section (lines 357-362)**
+
+Replace:
+```typescript
+const notifDetails = containerEl.createEl('details', { cls: 'mcp-notif-section' });
+notifDetails.open = false;
+const notifSummary = notifDetails.createEl('summary', {
+	text: 'Notification Settings',
+	cls: 'mcp-notif-summary'
+});
+```
+
+**Step 10: Update updateConfigTabDisplay method (lines 439-521)**
+
+Find the `updateConfigTabDisplay` method and update the tab button styling to use CSS classes with conditional application:
+
+```typescript
+private updateConfigTabDisplay(containerEl: HTMLElement) {
+	// ... existing code ...
+
+	const tabContainer = containerEl.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-tab-container' });
+
+	const windsurfTab = tabContainer.createEl('button', {
+		text: 'Windsurf',
+		cls: this.activeConfigTab === 'windsurf' ? 'mcp-tab mcp-tab-active' : 'mcp-tab'
+	});
+
+	const claudeCodeTab = tabContainer.createEl('button', {
+		text: 'Claude Code',
+		cls: this.activeConfigTab === 'claude-code' ? 'mcp-tab mcp-tab-active' : 'mcp-tab'
+	});
+
+	// Update tab content with CSS classes
+	const tabContent = containerEl.createDiv({ cls: 'mcp-tab-content' });
+
+	const fileLocationLabel = tabContent.createDiv({
+		text: 'Configuration file location:',
+		cls: 'mcp-label'
+	});
+
+	const filePathDisplay = tabContent.createDiv({
+		text: filePath,
+		cls: 'mcp-file-path'
+	});
+
+	const copyConfigButton = tabContent.createEl('button', {
+		text: 'Copy to Clipboard',
+		cls: 'mcp-copy-button'
+	});
+
+	const configDisplay = tabContent.createEl('pre', { cls: 'mcp-config-display' });
+
+	const usageNoteDisplay = tabContent.createDiv({
+		text: usageNote,
+		cls: 'mcp-usage-note'
+	});
+}
+```
+
+**Step 11: Verify all inline styles removed**
+
+Run: `grep -n "\.style\." src/settings.ts`
+Expected: No matches (or only legitimate dynamic styling that can't be in CSS)
+
+**Step 12: Build and verify**
+
+Run: `npm run build`
+Expected: Clean build with no TypeScript errors
+
+**Step 13: Run tests**
+
+Run: `npm test`

+# Obsidian Plugin Submission Fixes Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Fix all code quality issues identified in the Obsidian plugin submission review to meet community plugin standards.
+
+**Architecture:** Systematic refactoring across the codebase to replace `any` types with proper TypeScript types, remove `console.log` statements, fix command IDs, improve promise handling, use proper UI APIs, convert require() to ES6 imports, and standardize text formatting.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Obsidian API, Express, Node.js
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Fix Type Safety Issues - Replace `any` Types
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/main.ts:27`
+- Modify: `src/utils/encryption-utils.ts:2`
+- Modify: `src/types/mcp-types.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/tools/index.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/tools/note-tools.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/tools/vault-tools.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/utils/frontmatter-utils.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/ui/notifications.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/server/middleware.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/adapters/file-manager-adapter.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/adapters/interfaces.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/utils/glob-utils.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/server/mcp-server.ts` (multiple locations)
+- Modify: `src/server/routes.ts` (multiple locations)
+
+**Step 1: Define proper types for Electron safeStorage**
+
+In `src/utils/encryption-utils.ts`, replace the `any` type with a proper interface:
+
+```typescript
+// Define Electron SafeStorage interface
+interface ElectronSafeStorage {
+	isEncryptionAvailable(): boolean;
+	encryptString(plainText: string): Buffer;
+	decryptString(encrypted: Buffer): string;
+}
+
+let safeStorage: ElectronSafeStorage | null = null;
+```
+
+**Step 2: Fix legacy settings migration in main.ts**
+
+In `src/main.ts:27`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+const legacySettings = this.settings as any;
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+interface LegacySettings extends MCPPluginSettings {
+	enableCORS?: boolean;
+	allowedOrigins?: string[];
+}
+const legacySettings = this.settings as LegacySettings;
+```
+
+**Step 3: Review and fix types in mcp-types.ts**
+
+Read `src/types/mcp-types.ts` and replace all `any` types with proper JSON-RPC and MCP protocol types:
+- Define proper JSONValue type
+- Define proper JSONRPCRequest interface
+- Define proper JSONRPCResponse interface
+- Define proper CallToolResult content types
+
+**Step 4: Fix tool registry types in tools/index.ts**
+
+Replace `any` types with proper tool definition types and CallToolResult types.
+
+**Step 5: Fix note-tools.ts and vault-tools.ts types**
+
+Replace `any` types with proper TFile, TFolder, MetadataCache types from Obsidian API.
+
+**Step 6: Fix frontmatter-utils.ts types**
+
+Replace `any` types with proper YAML value types (string | number | boolean | null | object).
+
+**Step 7: Commit type safety fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: replace any types with proper TypeScript types"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Remove Forbidden console.log Statements
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/main.ts:21,29`
+- Modify: `src/ui/notifications.ts:94`
+- Modify: `src/server/mcp-server.ts:103,127`
+
+**Step 1: Remove console.log from main.ts**
+
+In `src/main.ts`, remove lines 21 and 29 (API key generation and migration logs). These are informational logs that don't need to be shown to users.
+
+**Step 2: Remove console.log from notifications.ts**
+
+In `src/ui/notifications.ts:94`, the log is controlled by `logToConsole` setting. Keep the functionality but use `console.debug` instead:
+
+```typescript
+if (this.settings.logToConsole) {
+	console.debug(`[MCP] Tool call: ${toolName}`, args);
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Remove console.log from mcp-server.ts**
+
+In `src/server/mcp-server.ts:103,127`, remove the server start/stop logs. The UI already shows this status via Notice and status bar.
+
+**Step 4: Verify all console methods are allowed**
+
+Run grep to verify only `warn`, `error`, and `debug` remain:
+
+```bash
+grep -r "console\." src/ | grep -v "console.warn\|console.error\|console.debug" | grep -v "node_modules"
+```
+
+**Step 5: Commit console.log removal**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: remove console.log statements, use console.debug where needed"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Fix Command ID Naming
+
+**Files:**
+- Read: `src/main.ts:52-83` (to identify command IDs)
+- Modify: `manifest.json` (if command IDs are documented there)
+
+**Step 1: Review current command IDs**
+
+Current command IDs in `src/main.ts`:
+- `start-mcp-server` ✓ (correct)
+- `stop-mcp-server` ✓ (correct)
+- `restart-mcp-server` ✓ (correct)
+- `view-notification-history` ✓ (correct)
+
+**Note:** The review mentioned "Three command IDs incorrectly include the plugin name prefix". After reviewing the code, the command IDs do NOT include "mcp-server:" prefix - they use simple kebab-case IDs which is correct. The command NAMES (user-facing text) are also correct and don't include the plugin name.
+
+**Step 2: Verify no issues**
+
+The command IDs are already correct. No changes needed for this task.
+
+**Step 3: Document verification**
+
+```bash
+echo "Command IDs verified - no changes needed" > /tmp/command-id-check.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Fix Promise Handling Issues
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/main.ts:16` (onload return type)
+- Modify: `src/tools/note-tools.ts` (async methods without await)
+- Modify: `src/adapters/vault-adapter.ts` (async methods without await)
+- Modify: `src/adapters/file-manager-adapter.ts` (async methods without await)
+- Modify: `src/ui/notifications.ts` (async methods without await)
+- Modify: `src/server/mcp-server.ts` (async methods without await)
+
+**Step 1: Fix onload return type**
+
+In `src/main.ts:16`, the `onload()` method is async but Plugin.onload expects void. This is actually fine - Obsidian's Plugin class allows async onload. Verify this is not a false positive by checking if there are any actual issues.
+
+**Step 2: Review async methods without await**
+
+Search for async methods that don't use await and may not need to be async:
+
+```bash
+grep -A 20 "async " src/**/*.ts | grep -v "await"
+```
+
+**Step 3: Fix methods that return Promise in void context**
+
+Look for callback functions that are async but used where void is expected:
+- Button click handlers
+- Event listeners
+- Command callbacks
+
+Wrap these with void operators or handle promises properly:
+
+```typescript
+// Before:
+.onClick(async () => {
+	await this.doSomething();
+})
+
+// After (if in void context):
+.onClick(() => {
+	void this.doSomething();
+})
+```
+
+**Step 4: Ensure error rejection uses Error objects**
+
+Search for promise rejections that don't use Error objects:
+
+```typescript
+// Before:
+return Promise.reject('message');
+
+// After:
+return Promise.reject(new Error('message'));
+```
+
+**Step 5: Commit promise handling fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: improve promise handling and async/await usage"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Convert require() to ES6 Imports
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/utils/encryption-utils.ts:4`
+- Modify: `src/utils/crypto-adapter.ts:20`
+
+**Step 1: Convert encryption-utils.ts**
+
+In `src/utils/encryption-utils.ts`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+let safeStorage: ElectronSafeStorage | null = null;
+try {
+	const electron = require('electron');
+	safeStorage = electron.safeStorage || null;
+} catch (error) {
+	console.warn('Electron safeStorage not available, API keys will be stored in plaintext');
+}
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+import { safeStorage as electronSafeStorage } from 'electron';
+
+let safeStorage: ElectronSafeStorage | null = null;
+try {
+	safeStorage = electronSafeStorage || null;
+} catch (error) {
+	console.warn('Electron safeStorage not available, API keys will be stored in plaintext');
+}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Convert crypto-adapter.ts**
+
+In `src/utils/crypto-adapter.ts:20`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+if (typeof global !== 'undefined') {
+	const nodeCrypto = require('crypto');
+	if (nodeCrypto.webcrypto) {
+		return nodeCrypto.webcrypto;
+	}
+}
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+if (typeof global !== 'undefined') {
+	try {
+		// Dynamic import for Node.js crypto - bundler will handle this
+		const crypto = await import('crypto');
+		if (crypto.webcrypto) {
+			return crypto.webcrypto;
+		}
+	} catch {
+		// Crypto module not available
+	}
+}
+```
+
+However, since this is in a synchronous function, we need a different approach. Use top-level import with try-catch:
+
+```typescript
+// At top of file
+let nodeCrypto: typeof import('crypto') | null = null;
+try {
+	nodeCrypto = require('crypto'); // This will be transformed by bundler
+} catch {
+	// Not in Node environment
+}
+
+// In getCrypto():
+if (typeof global !== 'undefined' && nodeCrypto?.webcrypto) {
+	return nodeCrypto.webcrypto;
+}
+```
+
+Actually, the best approach for Obsidian plugins is to use conditional imports at the top level:
+
+```typescript
+import type * as CryptoModule from 'crypto';
+
+let nodeCrypto: typeof CryptoModule | null = null;
+if (typeof process !== 'undefined') {
+	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
+	nodeCrypto = require('crypto');
+}
+```
+
+But this still uses require. For Obsidian plugins, the recommended approach is to mark it as external in the build config and use dynamic import(). However, since this is in a sync function, we need to restructure.
+
+The cleanest solution: Move the require to top-level with proper typing and accept that require() is necessary here for sync crypto access:
+
+```typescript
+// Add at top of file
+import type { webcrypto } from 'crypto';
+
+// Conditionally load Node.js crypto for environments that have it
+let nodeWebCrypto: typeof webcrypto | undefined;
+try {
+	// Note: require is necessary here for synchronous crypto access in Node.js
+	// This will be properly handled by esbuild during bundling
+	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
+	const crypto = require('crypto') as typeof import('crypto');
+	nodeWebCrypto = crypto.webcrypto;
+} catch {
+	// Not in Node.js environment or crypto not available
+	nodeWebCrypto = undefined;
+}
+
+function getCrypto(): Crypto {
+	// Browser/Electron environment
+	if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.crypto) {
+		return window.crypto;
+	}
+
+	// Node.js environment
+	if (nodeWebCrypto) {
+		return nodeWebCrypto as unknown as Crypto;
+	}
+
+	throw new Error('No Web Crypto API available in this environment');
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Add eslint-disable comments**
+
+If require() is truly necessary (which it is for sync Node.js module loading in Obsidian), add proper eslint-disable comments with justification.
+
+**Step 4: Test builds**
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+**Step 5: Commit require() fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: improve require() usage with proper typing and comments"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Fix Settings UI - Use setHeading() API
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/settings.ts:130,133,240`
+
+**Step 1: Replace h2 heading**
+
+In `src/settings.ts:130`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+containerEl.createEl('h2', {text: 'MCP Server Settings'});
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+new Setting(containerEl)
+	.setHeading()
+	.setName('MCP Server Settings');
+```
+
+**Step 2: Replace h3 heading**
+
+In `src/settings.ts:133`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+containerEl.createEl('h3', {text: 'Server Status'});
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+new Setting(containerEl)
+	.setHeading()
+	.setName('Server Status');
+```
+
+**Step 3: Replace h4 heading**
+
+In `src/settings.ts:240`, replace:
+
+```typescript
+authDetails.createEl('h4', {text: 'MCP Client Configuration', cls: 'mcp-heading'});
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+new Setting(authDetails)
+	.setHeading()
+	.setName('MCP Client Configuration');
+```
+
+Note: The cls parameter will be lost, but setHeading() provides consistent styling.
+
+**Step 4: Test settings UI**
+
+Build and test in Obsidian to ensure headings render correctly.
+
+**Step 5: Commit settings UI fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/settings.ts
+git commit -m "fix: use Setting.setHeading() instead of createElement for headings"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Fix notification-history.ts Heading
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/ui/notification-history.ts:29`
+
+**Step 1: Replace h2 in modal**
+
+In `src/ui/notification-history.ts:29`, the modal already has a title. Check if the h2 is redundant or if it should use a different approach.
+
+Read the file to understand context:
+
+```bash
+cat src/ui/notification-history.ts
+```
+
+**Step 2: Replace with Setting API if in settings context**
+
+If this is in a modal content area and not using Setting API, this might be acceptable. Check the Obsidian API guidelines for modal headings.
+
+For modals, direct createElement is often acceptable. However, if it should follow the same pattern, consider using a div with a class instead:
+
+```typescript
+contentEl.createEl('div', { text: 'MCP Notification History', cls: 'modal-title' });
+```
+
+Or keep it as-is if modals are exempt from the setHeading() requirement.
+
+**Step 3: Verify with Obsidian guidelines**
+
+Check if modal content should use setHeading() or if createElement is acceptable for modals.
+
+**Step 4: Make appropriate changes**
+
+Based on guidelines, either keep as-is or update accordingly.
+
+**Step 5: Commit if changes were made**
+
+```bash
+git add src/ui/notification-history.ts
+git commit -m "fix: update modal heading to follow Obsidian guidelines"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 8: Fix UI Text Capitalization - Use Sentence Case
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/settings.ts` (multiple text strings)
+- Modify: `src/main.ts` (command names, notices)
+- Review all user-facing strings
+
+**Step 1: Fix command names in main.ts**
+
+Commands should use sentence case:
+
+```typescript
+// Line 54
+name: 'Start server',  // Already correct
+
+// Line 62
+name: 'Stop server',  // Already correct
+
+// Line 70
+name: 'Restart server',  // Already correct
+
+// Line 79
+name: 'View notification history',  // Already correct
+```
+
+**Step 2: Fix Notice messages**
+
+Review all Notice calls for proper capitalization:
+
+```typescript
+// Already mostly correct, but verify all instances
+new Notice('MCP Server started on port ${this.settings.port}');
+```
+
+**Step 3: Fix settings.ts strings**
+
+Review all setName() and setDesc() calls:
+
+```typescript
+// Examples that might need fixing:
+.setName('Auto-start server')  // Check if correct
+.setName('Show parameters')    // Check if correct
+.setName('Notification duration')  // Check if correct
+```
+
+Sentence case means: "First word capitalized, rest lowercase unless proper noun"
+
+**Step 4: Create a checklist of all user-facing strings**
+
+```bash
+grep -r "setName\|setDesc\|text:" src/ | grep -v node_modules > /tmp/ui-text-audit.txt
+```
+
+**Step 5: Fix each string to use sentence case**
+
+Review the audit file and fix any Title Case or ALL CAPS strings to use sentence case.
+
+**Step 6: Commit UI text fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: use sentence case for all UI text"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 9: Optional Improvements - Use trashFile() Instead of delete()
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/tools/note-tools.ts` (delete_note tool)
+- Modify: `src/adapters/file-manager-adapter.ts`
+
+**Step 1: Find all Vault.delete() calls**
+
+```bash
+grep -n "vault.delete\|vault.trash" src/
+```
+
+**Step 2: Replace with FileManager.trashFile()**
+
+In note-tools.ts and file-manager-adapter.ts, replace:
+
+```typescript
+await vault.delete(file);
+```
+
+with:
+
+```typescript
+await app.fileManager.trashFile(file);
+```
+
+This respects the user's "Delete to system trash" setting.
+
+**Step 3: Update adapter interfaces**
+
+If the adapter has a delete method, rename it to trash or add a trash method:
+
+```typescript
+async trashFile(path: string): Promise<void> {
+	const file = this.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(path);
+	if (!file || !(file instanceof TFile)) {
+		throw new Error(`File not found: ${path}`);
+	}
+	await this.app.fileManager.trashFile(file);
+}
+```
+
+**Step 4: Update tool to use trash**
+
+Update the delete_note tool to call the new trash method.
+
+**Step 5: Commit trash improvements**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "feat: use trashFile to respect user deletion preferences"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 10: Clean Up Unused Imports
+
+**Files:**
+- Review all files for unused imports
+
+**Step 1: Run TypeScript unused import check**
+
+```bash
+npx tsc --noEmit --noUnusedLocals 2>&1 | grep "declared but never used"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Remove unused imports from each file**
+
+For each file with unused imports:
+- `MCPPluginSettings` (if unused)
+- `TFile` (if unused)
+- `VaultInfo` (if unused)
+
+**Step 3: Commit unused import cleanup**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "chore: remove unused imports"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 11: Fix Regular Expression Control Characters
+
+**Files:**
+- Search for regex with null bytes or control characters
+
+**Step 1: Find the problematic regex**
+
+```bash
+grep -r "\\x00\|\\x1f" src/
+```
+
+**Step 2: Fix or remove control characters**
+
+The review mentioned "One regex pattern contains unexpected control characters (null and unit separator bytes)". Find and fix this regex.
+
+**Step 3: Test regex patterns**
+
+Ensure all regex patterns are valid and don't contain unintended control characters.
+
+**Step 4: Commit regex fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: remove control characters from regex pattern"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 12: Fix Switch Case Variable Scoping
+
+**Files:**
+- Search for switch statements with variable declarations
+
+**Step 1: Find switch statements**
+
+```bash
+grep -B 2 -A 10 "switch\s*(" src/**/*.ts
+```
+
+**Step 2: Wrap case blocks with braces**
+
+If any case statement declares variables, wrap in braces:
+
+```typescript
+// Before:
+case 'foo':
+	const x = 123;
+	return x;
+
+// After:
+case 'foo': {
+	const x = 123;
+	return x;
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Test switch statements**
+
+Ensure no TypeScript errors about variable redeclaration.
+
+**Step 4: Commit scoping fixes**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "fix: add block scoping to switch case statements"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 13: Clean Up Unused Variables
+
+**Files:**
+- All files with unused variable declarations
+
+**Step 1: Run unused variable check**
+
+```bash
+npx tsc --noEmit --noUnusedLocals --noUnusedParameters 2>&1 | grep "declared but never"
+```
+
+**Step 2: Remove or prefix unused variables**
+
+For each unused variable:
+- Remove if truly unused
+- Prefix with `_` if intentionally unused (e.g., `_error`)
+- Use if it should be used
+
+**Step 3: Commit cleanup**
+
+```bash
+git add src/
+git commit -m "chore: remove unused variables"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 14: Final Verification and Testing
+
+**Files:**
+- All source files
+
+**Step 1: Run full build**
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+Expected: Clean build with no errors
+
+**Step 2: Run tests**
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+Expected: All tests pass
+
+**Step 3: Run type check**
+
+```bash
+npx tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+Expected: No errors
+
+**Step 4: Test in Obsidian**
+
+1. Copy build artifacts to test vault
+2. Reload Obsidian
+3. Test server start/stop
+4. Test settings UI
+5. Test all commands
+6. Test MCP tool calls
+
+**Step 5: Create verification report**
