tegwick f0be5799aa research: Obsidian deep dive (file-over-app vaults, plugin API, ecosystem-popularity signal); UC-53/54/55/56 
The most INTENT-aligned tool yet and the file-backed counterpart to Roam:
file-over-app vaults (plain .md folders, files canonical, MetadataCache a
derived index), in-file git-diffable addressing/structure (^block-id,
wikilink embeds, YAML frontmatter), and a plugin API (Plugin onload/onunload
over App.vault/metadataCache/workspace) that doubles as an adapter host —
so a vault is dual-attachable (file-store direct or in-app plugin). Mined
the plugin download rankings as demand evidence per the research brief:
#1 is drawings (Excalidraw, non-Markdown content), query-as-DB
(Dataview/Tasks) is top-tier but an add-on, Git is top-7 (bolt-on history),
Remotely Save shows sync-to-anywhere demand. Added UC-53 (attach local
vault w/ live concurrent native editor), UC-54 (query-defined dynamic
page), UC-55 (non-Markdown content types), UC-56 (outbound publish of a
projection); enriched UC-15/28/34/36/40/51/52. Boundary: a vault is one
file-backed candidate shard, not the federation layer and not a file-sync
target.

Exploration results for the problem and solution space.

Each exploration uses a yymmdd- prefix on the markdown file or subdirectory when multiple files or sources are involved. Findings here inform spec/ and SCOPE.md; they do not directly authorize implementation until promoted.
