Description

@mors119

Summary

Improve tag visibility in VS Code hover, note details, and sidebar entries.

Tags are currently easy to overlook even when they are stored on a note. They should be visible wherever users inspect note metadata.

Example Hover

Improve parser error recovery

Requirements

  • Display tags in editor hover content.
  • Display tags in note detail or edit views.
  • Display tags in sidebar note entries where space allows.
  • Use a consistent format across all extension surfaces.
  • Avoid overwhelming the hover when a note has many tags.
  • Truncate or wrap tags gracefully.
  • Escape Markdown-sensitive tag text correctly.
  • Keep tags clickable where supported, opening a tag-filtered result view.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Tagged notes show their tags in editor hover.
  • Note detail and edit views show the same tag values.
  • Tag rendering is consistent across views.
  • Long tag lists remain readable.
  • Clicking a tag opens tag-filtered notes where the UI supports it.
  • Untagged notes do not show an empty visual section.

Design Principle

Metadata should be visible at the moment it helps users understand and navigate a note.
