## Unreleased

- docs: correct `commands/update-task.md` — checkboxes are ticked by direct body edit, then `vault-cli task update` syncs the derived status; the CLI cannot tick a specific checkbox (it recomputes status from checkbox counts via `statusFromProgress`)

## v0.116.4

- test: assert the liveness window against `livenessWindow` via the injected waiter instead of a wall-clock tolerance — the previous spec finished in microseconds against a no-op waiter and would have passed for any window value, including zero

- Detect task from conversation (file paths, wiki-links, mentions; ranked by confidence)
- Read current checkbox state from the task file (`[x]` / `[/]` / `[ ]`)
- Analyze the conversation for completed work (files created/modified, commands run, problems solved)
- Tick completed checkboxes via `vault-cli task update` (NOT direct Edit on frontmatter)
- Tick completed checkboxes by direct body Edit (`- [ ]` → `- [x]`), then run `vault-cli task update` to sync the derived status — the CLI cannot tick a specific checkbox (it only recomputes status from checkbox counts via `statusFromProgress` in `pkg/ops/update.go`); direct Edit is on the task body line, never on frontmatter status
- Determine if the progress is noteworthy (100% complete, major milestone, >20% jump)
- If noteworthy: append a progress entry to today's daily note
- If 100% complete: invoke `vault-cli task complete` to finalize
