🛡️ Sovereign Intelligence (Local + Offline)

The "Right to Privacy" is now a first-class citizen in your vault.

• 100% On-Device Processing: Switch your Embedding Provider to Local in settings to download open-source models (like Nomic-Embed or Potion-8M). Once downloaded, your notes are processed entirely on your hardware—no cloud, no API keys, and zero data leakage.
• Zero-Cost Indexing: "Similar Notes" discovery and semantic search now work without consuming a single token from your Google Gemini quota.

⚡ Smart Indexing & Efficiency

We’ve refined how the plugin "thinks" while you type to save you money and compute resources.

• Intelligent Debounce: The plugin now waits 5 seconds after you stop typing before active re-indexing. This prevents "spamming" your API provider with partial edits, significantly reducing billing costs for cloud users and CPU load for local users.
• No-Interference Background Scans: Vault-wide background scans now run with a refined cadence, ensuring the plugin never interferes with your foreground editor responsiveness.

🛠 Developer & Internal Improvements

• Transformers.js Web Workers: Leveraged @xenova/transformers in a dedicated worker thread to handle heavy-lift ML inference without blocking the UI.
• Unified Vector Engine: A complete refactor of the indexing registry to eliminate "double-debouncing" and ensure single-source-of-truth for file states.
• Stability Fixes: Resolved critical Float32Array buffer detachment bugs (copyWithin errors) that occurred during large vault indexing sessions.
• Fetch Proxy Logic: Implemented a secure network proxy to bypass strict Obsidian CORS/CSP constraints, enabling seamless model downloads from Hugging Face.
