  # --- Obsidian notes ---------------------------------------------------------
  # A live copy of the Obsidian vault on the Pi, plus an MCP server over it so Claude
  # (Code on the laptop, the app on the phone) can read and write notes.
  #
  # The vault lives on the SD card (./config/obsidian/vault), NOT on the NAS: it's ~50 MB,
  # inotify doesn't fire over NFS (continuous sync would miss edits made on the Pi), and
  # Obsidian Sync already keeps version history, so nothing here needs backing up.
  #
  # obsidian-sync = the official `obsidian-headless` client (`ob sync --continuous`) in a
  # community arm64 image. It joins Obsidian Sync as one more device: edits made on the Pi
  # flow back to the laptop/phone, edits made anywhere else land here within seconds.
  # One-time: `make notes-token` on the Pi, then fill the OBSIDIAN_* lines in .env.
  # notes-token also mkdirs ./config/obsidian/{vault,sync} as `pi` FIRST: Docker would
  # create a missing bind dir as root, and this image only chowns recursively when
  # PUID differs from its built-in 1000 (ours doesn't) -> `ob login` can't write ~/.config.

 pattern matching for the ways clipped web pages and pasted transcripts hide instructions:
 invisible Unicode, HTML comments, text hidden by CSS, chat-template markers, "ignore previous

 """MCP server over the Obsidian vault at /vault (FastMCP, Streamable HTTP on :8000/mcp).

 Tools: list_notes, read_note, search_notes, write_note, append_note. That's it — Claude does the
 thinking, this just moves text in and out of the folder that obsidian-sync keeps in step with
 Obsidian Sync.

 Auth: GitHub OAuth through FastMCP's OAuthProxy. The proxy speaks Dynamic Client Registration
 to Claude (Code on the laptop, the app via claude.ai), then sends the human to GitHub to log in.
 Only ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGIN is let past that login — anyone else who finds the URL gets a GitHub
 consent screen and then "not allowed". Every tool goes through _path(), which is the trust
 boundary: it checks the user, refuses paths outside the vault, hides dot-dirs (.obsidian/
 holds plugin state and workspace layout, not notes), and for writes checks WRITE_DENY_FOLDERS.

 The vault holds clipped web pages, pasted job ads and meeting transcripts, so a note can carry
 text that reads like an instruction. Claude reads it back later and can't fully tell data from
 a command. Two rules, both aimed at the folders where that text lives (UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS,
 default Clippings):
  - write_note (create or replace) is refused there, and for CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md anywhere;
    everywhere else it works. The backstops for a bad rewrite are the per-call permission
    prompt (path on screen) and Obsidian Sync's version history.
  - search_notes returns path + line only for hits in those folders, no text. A clipped page
    can then reach Claude only through read_note, whose path you see and approve.
 append_note works on any existing note: it can't lose text.

 Two more edges, both about the hidden-text trick clipped pages use: invisible Unicode is
 stripped from everything Claude reads, and refused in everything it writes (Claude never types
 those on purpose, so a refusal means a note tried to copy itself). Chat-template markers are
 refused on write for the same reason.

 Env (set in docker-compose.yml / .env): BASE_URL, GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,
 JWT_SIGNING_KEY, ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGIN, UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS (comma-separated vault-relative folders;
 default Clippings). VAULT_PATH defaults to /vault.

 print("ok")
Tool	Does
`list_notes`	Lists `.md` files under a folder, recursively. `""` = whole vault.
`read_note`	Returns one note's text.
`search_notes`	Case-insensitive text search. Returns path, line, and the line.
`write_note`	Creates or overwrites a note. Makes missing folders. Writable folders only.
`append_note`	Adds text to the end of a note. Never touches existing text. Any existing note; creates new ones in writable folders only.
Guard	Where	Why there
`UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS` are read-only	`_path(write=True)`	A poisoned turn can't plant a follow-up in the folder you'd least inspect, and a clipping can't be "tidied" into something else.
Search returns no text from `UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS`	`search_notes`	Search is the one path where note text reaches Claude with no human look at which note it came from. Path and line still come back, so you can still find a clipping; reading it is a visible `read_note` call.
`append_note` works on any existing note	tool	Adding can't lose text. The permission prompt still shows the path, so a write to a note you didn't ask about is visible before it happens.
`CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` never writable	`_path(write=True)`	The Remote Control session reads them as instructions. A line added there is a standing order, not junk.
Invisible Unicode stripped on read	`_clean`	Zero-width, bidi and tag characters are how a clipped page carries text you can't see but the model can. Remove it before it reaches the model, and search on the cleaned line so it can't dodge a query either.
Invisible Unicode and chat-template markers refused on write	`_check_write`	Claude never types these on purpose. A refusal means a note is trying to copy itself through the MCP. This is the step a spread needs, so this is where it fails.
Daily `scan-vault.py` on the Pi	cron	Catches what the edges can't: visible text that reads like an order. No LLM in the loop, because a checker that reads the notes can be tricked by the same text. The report lists paths and line numbers only, never the text, so it can't carry a payload into a chat.
Permission prompt per tool call	the Claude client	The real backstop. Approve writes one at a time and read the path. "Always allow" on a write tool removes the last human check.
Symptom	Look at / do
claude.ai says it can't reach the server, or `claude mcp login` says "Unable to connect"	`tailscale funnel status` on the Pi. "No serve config" = Funnel isn't on: `make notes-funnel`. Also: is the HTTPS cert issued yet? First Funnel can take a minute.
`make notes-funnel` prints a login.tailscale.com link and sits there	Funnel isn't allowed on the tailnet yet. Open the link, Allow, and it carries on by itself.
Connect fails right after Funnel came on; the browser steps worked (GitHub login, consent) but the card never says Connected	Public DNS hasn't caught up. Anthropic's servers do the last step and couldn't resolve the name. Wait five minutes, remove the connector, add it again. `dig @8.8.8.8 mypi.your-tailnet.ts.net` should show addresses.
Browser shows a Tailscale 502 / connection refused	Container down: `docker ps \| grep obsidian-mcp`, then `docker logs obsidian-mcp`.
Tools all return "GitHub user ... is not allowed"	You logged in with a different GitHub account than `MCP_ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGIN`. Revoke on GitHub, log in again.
"path escapes the vault" / "dot-folders ... off limits"	Working as designed. Use a vault-relative path outside `.obsidian/`.
"not writable: ... Untrusted folders ... are read-only" / "Instruction files are edited by hand"	Working as designed. Clippings and `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` are yours to edit, not Claude's. Change `MCP_UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS` in `.env` and restart if a folder is listed by mistake.
A search hit has no `text`	It's in an untrusted folder. Ask Claude to read that note; the permission prompt shows the path.
"refused: content has invisible characters" / "chat-template markers"	Claude tried to write text it never types on purpose. Look at the note it just read: something in there is trying to copy itself.
Login loops back to consent	Cookies blocked in the browser doing the OAuth dance. Try the default browser.
Everything asks to log in again after a deploy	`.env`'s `MCP_JWT_SIGNING_KEY` changed, or the config volume was removed.
Vault looks empty from Claude	That's obsidian-sync, not this: `make logs svc=obsidian-sync`.

	# The vault lives on the SD card (./config/obsidian/vault), NOT on the NAS: it's ~50 MB,
	# inotify doesn't fire over NFS (continuous sync would miss edits made on the Pi), and
	# Obsidian Sync already keeps version history, so nothing here needs backing up.
	#
	# obsidian-sync = the official `obsidian-headless` client (`ob sync --continuous`) in a
	# community arm64 image. It joins Obsidian Sync as one more device: edits made on the Pi
	# flow back to the laptop/phone, edits made anywhere else land here within seconds.
	# One-time: `make notes-token` on the Pi, then fill the OBSIDIAN_* lines in .env.
	# notes-token also mkdirs ./config/obsidian/{vault,sync} as `pi` FIRST: Docker would
	# create a missing bind dir as root, and this image only chowns recursively when
	# PUID differs from its built-in 1000 (ours doesn't) -> `ob login` can't write ~/.config.

	Tools: list_notes, read_note, search_notes, write_note, append_note. That's it — Claude does the
	thinking, this just moves text in and out of the folder that obsidian-sync keeps in step with
	Obsidian Sync.

	Auth: GitHub OAuth through FastMCP's OAuthProxy. The proxy speaks Dynamic Client Registration
	to Claude (Code on the laptop, the app via claude.ai), then sends the human to GitHub to log in.
	Only ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGIN is let past that login — anyone else who finds the URL gets a GitHub
	consent screen and then "not allowed". Every tool goes through _path(), which is the trust
	boundary: it checks the user, refuses paths outside the vault, hides dot-dirs (.obsidian/
	holds plugin state and workspace layout, not notes), and for writes checks WRITE_DENY_FOLDERS.

	The vault holds clipped web pages, pasted job ads and meeting transcripts, so a note can carry
	text that reads like an instruction. Claude reads it back later and can't fully tell data from
	a command. Two rules, both aimed at the folders where that text lives (UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS,
	default Clippings):
	- write_note (create or replace) is refused there, and for CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md anywhere;
	everywhere else it works. The backstops for a bad rewrite are the per-call permission
	prompt (path on screen) and Obsidian Sync's version history.
	- search_notes returns path + line only for hits in those folders, no text. A clipped page
	can then reach Claude only through read_note, whose path you see and approve.
	append_note works on any existing note: it can't lose text.

	Two more edges, both about the hidden-text trick clipped pages use: invisible Unicode is
	stripped from everything Claude reads, and refused in everything it writes (Claude never types
	those on purpose, so a refusal means a note tried to copy itself). Chat-template markers are
	refused on write for the same reason.

	Env (set in docker-compose.yml / .env): BASE_URL, GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,
	JWT_SIGNING_KEY, ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGIN, UNTRUSTED_FOLDERS (comma-separated vault-relative folders;
	default Clippings). VAULT_PATH defaults to /vault.
