Research Log

[2026-04-04] bootstrap | initialize docs/research

copied the cached Typora corpus into ../raw/typora
created the first compiled Typora pages:
- corpus-overview.md
- editor-behavior-priority-map.md
generated 123 one-to-one Typora source cards plus ../raw/typora/catalog.md
promoted the highest-value Typora pages into themed source-cluster syntheses and a system map
promoted the strongest recurring Typora ideas into concept pages, decision pages, and one explicit open-question page
compared the new research-layer output against the older repo-safe Typora reference subtree before pruning it

cloned the upstream Milkdown repo into ../raw/milkdown/repo
created the first compiled Milkdown pages:
created the Milkdown system/concept/decision layer
compared the new research-layer output against the older repo-safe Milkdown inventory subtree before pruning it

cloned the official Obsidian help and developer-docs repos into ../raw/obsidian
generated English-first raw catalogs for both repos
created the first compiled Obsidian pages:
added a narrower footnote/block-link source page and one explicit authority-scope open question
created the Obsidian system map

compiled a new Typora source summary for richer media authoring and path policy: media-authoring-and-path-policy.md
promoted one decision from that evidence: media-authoring-follows-the-image-path-policy-family.md
opened one explicit unresolved question for the thinner date lane: date-mdx-payload-contract.md
updated the research index and Typora source entrypoint to include the new pages

compiled a new Typora source summary for $ / $$ trigger behavior: math-delimiter-triggers.md
compiled a new Obsidian source summary for math delimiter syntax and pair settings: math-delimiters-and-pair-settings.md
compiled a new Milkdown source summary for latex trigger mechanics: latex-trigger-surface.md
opened one explicit unresolved question for broader authority coverage: math-delimiter-trigger-authority.md
updated the research index and Typora source entrypoint to include the new pages

corrected the Obsidian math-trigger read after rechecking the official release-note corpus
updated math-delimiters-and-pair-settings.md to include explicit $ selection-wrap, live-preview auto-pair, and $$ block-detection evidence
reframed math-delimiter-trigger-authority.md around row choice instead of fake Obsidian absence

reran the Obsidian side under the tightened research-wiki full rule
recorded the official source entrypoints checked plus the direct raw files actually read
confirmed the current law still stands: Obsidian is explicit for selection-wrap and block detection / preview, while Typora and Milkdown still own the more aggressive pair-on-type / promotion rows

compiled a new Typora source summary for markdown shorthand and inline autoformat: markdown-shorthand-and-inline-autoformat.md
compiled a new Milkdown source summary for executable autoformat input lanes: input-autoformat-lanes.md
accepted one decision for family modeling: autoformat-families-are-profile-adjacent-input-assist-surfaces.md
opened one explicit unresolved question for thinner symbol-substitution authority: text-substitution-autoformat-authority.md

accepted a boundary decision for [text](url) automd: link-automd-belongs-to-the-link-interaction-lane.md
accepted a normalization split for current autoformat-kit quirks: current-kit-autoformat-normalization-split.md
tightened the text-substitution authority open question with a usable current split between mainstream typographic norms and thinner local symbol-table contract
