4. **Offline-First & Bidirectional Sync**: Edit notes anywhere without internet; Push and Pull changes with a single tap when online.
5. **Smart Commit Timestamp Sync**: Accurately aligns local file timestamps with remote commit dates using GitHub GraphQL API.
6. **Local History Purge (Purge to Depth 1)**: Shallow local Git history to depth = 1 in Settings to free up device storage.
7. **Full-Text Search & Attachments**: Instant in-note content search and zero-permission attachment importing via native Android file picker.
