## [Unreleased]

### Fixed
- **"Add New Note" sidebar submenu opening the WordPress post editor.**
  The plugin registered a `wp_note` custom post type with
  `show_ui => true` and `show_in_menu => 'wp-notes'`, which caused
  WordPress to auto-inject "All Notes" and "Add New" submenus under
  the WP Notes admin menu. The "Add New" submenu routed to
  `post-new.php?post_type=wp_note` — the standard WordPress post
  editor — but the live plugin stores notes in `wp_options`
  (`get_option('wp_notes')`), not as CPT posts. Saving in the post
  editor wrote to the wrong storage and the new note never appeared
  in the WP Notes list. Discovered 2026-05-25.

  Fixed by setting `show_ui` and `show_in_menu` to `false` on the
  `wp_note` CPT, and `show_ui` / `show_admin_column` /
  `show_in_rest` to `false` on the `wp_note_category` taxonomy. The
  CPT and taxonomy remain registered so `wp_notes_migrate_to_cpt()`
  can still use `wp_insert_post()` if/when the migration is run.
  The form on the actual WP Notes page (the one that POSTs to the
  same admin page) continues to work unchanged.

### Notes
- The plugin currently uses **two storage models**: the active one is
  `wp_options` (key `wp_notes`, with completed notes in
  `wp_done_notes`). The CPT + meta storage is the *target* of an
  unfinished migration; the helper `wp_notes_migrate_to_cpt()` is
  defined but unused by the live UI. Until that migration is
  completed, hiding the CPT from the admin UI prevents users from
  accidentally writing to the wrong store.

## [3.0.2] — 2025-05-10 (last released version, baseline)

The v3 "without all the crap" release. Trimmed from the v1.1.5
feature-creep era which had bolted on:

- AI chat (multiple variants)
- AI personalities
- Journal mode
- Speedtest
- Tamagotchi (yes, really)
- Backup
- And more

v3 strips back to the essentials:

- Notes list (in `wp_options`)
- Create note form (color, size, font, emoji)
- Admin bar quick-access menu
- Settings page
- Import / Export
- About page
- Update checker

This baseline entry exists for historical context; future releases
should keep adding entries above and remove this note once a real
changelog history accrues.
