Per owner: test data, no migration. parsePageFile no longer reads the old
docmost:meta block — a file without a gitmost_id frontmatter is simply un-tracked
(adopt). Vaults are a cache: rm -rf on the transition, rebuilt native from
Docmost. Simplifies the format work (no fallback). Doc updated.

Pivot the thin-meta design to "the vault IS a native Obsidian vault": clean
markdown + a minimal YAML frontmatter `gitmost_id:` (the durable pageId, travels
with the file so identity survives any move); folders mirror the page tree with
the parent's body as a folder-note `<Folder>/<Folder>.md` (LostPaul Folder Notes
convention); links as `[[wikilinks]]` (basename-resolved → reparent never breaks a
link, only retitle does); collisions disambiguated Obsidian-style; `.obsidian/`
and non-page files left untouched (no .gitignore). Verified the conventions
against the Obsidian/Folder-Notes docs.
Replaces the abandoned `.gitmost/index.json` sidecar (path-keyed → fragile to
git-undetected renames; the in-file id is self-sufficient): removes vault-index.ts.
Adds lib/page-file.ts — parsePageFile/serializePageFile (frontmatter id + clean
body) with a LEGACY `docmost:meta` fallback for migration. 6 unit tests; engine
suite green. Not yet wired into pull/push — no behavior change. Design doc
rewritten to the native-Obsidian format.

Captures the design discussion: a path-keyed sidecar is NOT a safe source of
truth (a git-undetected rename loses the page), so the id must travel WITH the
file — either as a slugId suffix in the filename (B) or a minimal YAML frontmatter
`id:` (C); both robust, B/C is the open UX decision (author leans C for clean
names). The sidecar may remain an optional path->id cache. Adds phase 6 — link
sync between notes: Docmost links are by pageId (survive rename), vault markdown
links are by path (rewrite on rename, Obsidian-style); independent of B/C and the
format phases.

All service metadata moves into a single `.gitmost/index.json` sidecar; the `.md`
files become clean markdown (Obsidian & any editor work directly). The page tree
mirrors the folder structure (folder = parent page; the parent's body lives in
`<Folder>/index.md`); collisions disambiguate by a `~<slugId>` filename suffix
with identity tracked by pageId in the index (safe renames, never delete+create —
backed by 5133bb34). Bare files/folders from a third-party editor are adopted into
pages. Includes the migration path off the current `docmost:meta`-in-file format
and a phased plan (each phase gated by engine unit tests + the browser e2e +
isolated shell e2e). Agreed with the owner 2026-06-24.
