Architecturally distinct from the Obsidian/Roam/Notion trio: content is Markdown, the local store is SQLite, and the sync representation is a folder of per-item Markdown+metadata files on a backend of choice (filesystem, WebDAV, Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, Joplin Server/Cloud). Two new findings: (1) attach the sync/interchange mirror, not the app or the SQLite store, offline and app-independent, landing on INTENT's WebDAV/Nextcloud/S3 backends (UC-60, distinct from native on-disk store UC-40 and app-files UC-53); (2) E2EE => content opacity, a proposed twelfth capability spectrum for encrypted-at-rest shards (UC-61). Also: Joplin is the file-sync-daemon boundary case (attach the mirror as pages, never re-sync); store-minted page-level :/id links (addressing spectrum middle); dual surface (plugin host + local Data API on localhost:41184). Enriched UC-31/36/38/40/51/55. Catalog now 61 UCs. Architecture for SHARD-WP-0002 T11/T14: interchange-format attach, content-opacity field, local-REST sub-mode, format-aware file-store profiles.
