+# NexaNote — Rewritten GitHub Issues (Current State)
+
+## Reality snapshot (from code, not wishlist)
+
+### Fully implemented today
+- Python backend with FastAPI routes for notebooks, notes, page text/ink, sync trigger/status, stats, and storage info.
+- SQLite storage layer with schema + CRUD for notebooks/notes/pages/strokes.
+- WebDAV server (WsgiDAV provider) and WebDAV sync client/engine.
+- Conflict resolution module and automated test coverage (`64 passed`).
+- Flutter desktop/mobile layouts with notebook sidebar, note list, editor, and ink canvas (pen/highlighter/eraser, pressure, undo, clear, zoom).
+
+### Partially implemented / unstable
+- Sync settings UX is split between Flutter `SharedPreferences` and backend disk config; no clear “source of truth”.
+- Data directory can be typed in settings, but changing it only affects a shell config file for next restart.
+- Editor is effectively single-page in UI (always page 1), while backend data model supports pages.
+- Search runs on every keypress with no debounce/cancel.
+- Error handling in app state is often swallowed (`catch (_) {}`), so failures are hard to debug.
+
+### Missing (or not productized yet)
+- Docker/deployment packaging.
+- PDF export.
+- OCR.
+- End-to-end encryption.
+- Mature Android release workflow.

+
+## Issue 1 — Align README feature claims with current behavior
+**Suggested label:** `good first issue`
+
+## Overview
+README currently presents some items as fully done, but parts are still rough in real usage (for example sync/setup UX and mobile readiness).
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Compare README “What works today / What’s coming” against actual backend + Flutter behavior.
+- [ ] Update wording so completed vs experimental vs planned is explicit.
+- [ ] Add one “Known limitations” section with short, concrete bullets.
+
+## Goal
+Contributors and users can trust project status without reading all source files.
+
+## Notes
+Keep scope to docs only (no code refactor). This is a safe starter task.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 2 — Add API client error messages in Flutter instead of silent failures
+**Suggested label:** `good first issue`
+
+## Overview
+Several calls in `AppState` use `catch (_) {}` and just continue, which hides backend failures and creates “nothing happened” UX.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Replace silent catches with structured error strings in `AppState`.
+- [ ] Surface errors via Snackbar/toast in screens that trigger the actions.
+- [ ] Add one small widget test for visible error state.
+
+## Goal
+When API calls fail, users and contributors immediately see why.
+
+## Notes
+Do not redesign state management; keep Provider + current architecture.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 3 — Debounce note search requests in `HomeScreen`
+**Suggested label:** `good first issue`
+
+## Overview
+Search currently calls backend on every character change, which can spam requests and make typing feel laggy.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Add a short debounce timer (e.g., 250–400ms) before `loadNotes(search: ...)`.
+- [ ] Cancel pending debounce when new input arrives.
+- [ ] Keep notebook filtering behavior unchanged.
+
+## Goal
+Smooth search typing with fewer unnecessary API requests.
+
+## Notes
+No backend changes required.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 4 — Make sync settings source-of-truth explicit (backend vs local prefs)
+**Suggested label:** `help wanted`
+
+## Overview
+Sync settings are stored both in Flutter `SharedPreferences` and backend `sync_config.json` (excluding password). Behavior after restart is confusing.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Decide and document source of truth for `server_url`, `username`, and `conflict_strategy`.
+- [ ] Add a small API endpoint or startup flow so settings UI reads from backend on load.
+- [ ] Keep password handling memory-only on backend (no plaintext persistence).
+
+## Goal
+A user sees consistent sync settings across restarts and devices.
+
+## Notes
+Must preserve current security decision: backend never writes sync password to disk.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 5 — Apply data directory changes safely with restart guidance
+**Suggested label:** `help wanted`
+
+## Overview
+Settings screen allows editing data directory, but the running backend keeps using the old DB path until restart.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Clarify in UI that data directory change is applied on next backend restart.
+- [ ] Add validation for empty/invalid path before saving.
+- [ ] Add optional “copy existing DB” utility script or documented manual migration steps.
+
+## Goal
+Users can change storage location without accidental data loss or confusion.
+
+## Notes
+Avoid hot-swapping live SQLite path in this issue; keep restart-based behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 6 — Expose multi-page notes in Flutter editor (incremental)
+**Suggested label:** `help wanted`
+
+## Overview
+Backend model supports pages, but editor UI only reads/saves page 1.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Add page switcher UI (previous/next + page index).
+- [ ] Load selected page from note payload instead of always page 1.
+- [ ] Save text/ink to active page number.
+- [ ] Keep existing editor behavior for single-page notes.
+
+## Goal
+Contributors can create and edit real multi-page notes without changing backend schema.
+
+## Notes
+Do this incrementally; no need for page thumbnails in first pass.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 7 — Add integration tests for sync configure/trigger/status API flow
+**Suggested label:** `good first issue`
+
+## Overview
+Core API routes are tested, but sync route flow coverage can be stronger for regression safety.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Add tests for `/sync/configure`, `/sync/trigger` (unconfigured and configured), and `/sync/status`.
+- [ ] Assert expected response structure and key fields.
+- [ ] Keep external network mocked/faked.
+
+## Goal
+Sync API behavior is stable during future refactors.
+
+## Notes
+Follow existing `tests/test_api.py` style and fixtures.
+
+---
+
+## Issue 8 — Contributor onboarding: add “run backend + app + tests” quick workflow
+**Suggested label:** `good first issue`
+
+## Overview
+Project is approachable, but contributors still need to piece together commands and expected outputs manually.
+
+## What needs to be done
+- [ ] Add a short “First 30 minutes” section in README.
+- [ ] Include exact commands for backend run, Flutter run, and pytest.
+- [ ] Add troubleshooting notes for common local issues (ports occupied, backend unreachable).
+
+## Goal
+A new contributor can clone and run the stack in one sitting.
+
+## Notes
+Documentation-only change; no architecture changes.
