 # Changelog
 
+## [0.37.11] — 2026-03-22
+
+### Summary
+
+Notes surface built as full Preact surface, replacing the v0.37.9 template
+mount. Sidebar with folder tree, tag cloud, search, and UserMenu. NotesPane
+runs `standalone=false` — the surface sidebar owns filter controls. Cross-surface
+fixes: Menu primitive CSS was never loaded (now added to base.html), Avatar
+initials fixed for single-word names.
+
+### New
+
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/index.js` — NotesSurface root, self-mounts at `#notes-mount`
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/use-workspace.js` — sidebar toggle + active note (sessionStorage)
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/use-sidebar.js` — folders, tags, search, WS live updates
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/sidebar.js` — search input, folder/tag sections, UserMenu footer
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/sidebar-folders.js` — collapsible folder tree with counts
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/sidebar-tags.js` — collapsible tag cloud with active state
+- `src/js/sw/surfaces/notes/notes-workspace.js` — workspace header + NotesPane
+- `src/css/sw-notes-surface.css` — surface layout (sidebar + workspace + mobile responsive)
+
+### Changed
+
+- `src/js/sw/components/notes-pane/index.js` — handleRef expanded with `setFolder`,
+  `setTagFilter`, `setSearchQuery`, `getFolder`, `getTagFilter`; threads `standalone`
+  prop to NoteList
+- `src/js/sw/components/notes-pane/note-list.js` — `standalone=false` hides search row,
+  folder dropdown, tag cloud (surface sidebar owns these)
+- `src/js/sw/primitives/avatar.js` — single-word names show first letter only
+  ("admin" → "A" not "AD"); multi-word unchanged ("John Doe" → "JD")
+- `server/pages/templates/surfaces/notes.html` — full rewrite: crash catcher +
+  `#notes-mount` + Preact boot (mirrors chat.html pattern)
+- `server/pages/templates/base.html` — added `sw-primitives.css` link (Menu primitive
+  was unstyled on all surfaces); added `css-notes` conditional
+- `src/css/surfaces.css` — deleted `.surface-notes*` rules (9 lines, replaced by
+  `sw-notes-surface.css`)
+
+### Design Notes
+
+- **Sidebar ↔ NotesPane coordination:** write-only via handleRef. Sidebar sets
+  folder/tag/search on the kit; kit reloads its own list. No bidirectional sync
+  needed because `standalone=false` hides the kit's own filter controls.
+- **Menu primitive bug:** `sw-primitives.css` was never loaded in `base.html`.
+  The Menu component (`sw-menu__item`) had no hover, no cursor, no background.
+  Chat surface masked this by using its own `.sw-chat-surface__context-menu`
+  styles. Fixed globally — all surfaces now get proper Menu styles.
+- **Kit enhancements deferred:** markdown toolbar, wikilink hover preview,
+  breadcrumbs, split view, templates, slash commands, graph minimap all moved
+  to v0.37.14 pane audit.
