Problem: no way to know about overdue or due-today tasks without
opening :Pending. No ambient awareness for statusline plugins.
Solution: add counts(), statusline(), and has_due() public API
functions backed by a module-local cache that recomputes after every
store.save() and store.load(). Fire a User PendingStatusChanged event
on every recompute. Extract is_overdue() and is_today() from duplicate
locals into parse.lua as public functions. Refactor views.lua and
init.lua to use the shared date logic. Add vimdoc API section and
integration recipes for lualine, heirline, manual statusline, startup
notification, and event-driven refresh.
* fix(plugin): allow command chaining with bar separator
Problem: :Pending|only failed because the command definition lacked the
bar attribute, causing | to be consumed as an argument.
Solution: Add bar = true to nvim_create_user_command so | is treated as
a command separator, matching fugitive's :Git behavior.
* refactor(buffer): remove opinionated window options
Problem: The plugin hardcoded number, relativenumber, wrap, spell,
signcolumn, foldcolumn, and cursorline in set_win_options, overriding
user preferences with no way to opt out.
Solution: Remove all cosmetic window options. Users who want them can
set them in after/ftplugin/pending.lua. Only conceallevel,
concealcursor, and winfixheight remain as functionally required.
* feat: time-aware due dates, persistent undo, @return audit
Problem: Due dates had no time component, the undo stack was lost on
restart and stored in a separate file, and many public functions lacked
required @return annotations.
Solution: Add YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm support across parse, views, recur,
complete, and init with time-aware overdue checks. Merge the undo stack
into the task store JSON so a single file holds all state. Add @return
nil annotations to all 27 void public functions across every module.
* feat(parse): flexible time parsing for @ suffix
Problem: the @HH:MM time suffix required zero-padded 24-hour format,
forcing users to write due:tomorrow@14:00 instead of due:tomorrow@2pm.
Solution: add normalize_time() that accepts bare hours (9, 14),
H:MM (9:30), am/pm (2pm, 9:30am, 12am), and existing HH:MM format,
normalizing all to canonical HH:MM on save.
* feat(complete): add info descriptions to omnifunc items
Problem: completion menu items had no description, making it hard to
distinguish between similar entries like date shorthands and recurrence
patterns.
Solution: return { word, info } tables from date_completions() and
recur_completions(), surfacing human-readable descriptions in the
completion popup.
* ci: format
* feat(config): add recur_syntax and someday_date fields
Problem: the plugin needs configuration for the recurrence token name
and the sentinel date used by the `later`/`someday` named dates.
Solution: add `recur_syntax` (default 'rec') and `someday_date`
(default '9999-12-30') to pending.Config and the defaults table.
* feat(parse): expand date vocabulary with named dates
Problem: the date input only supports today, tomorrow, +Nd, and
weekday names, lacking relative offsets like weeks/months, period
boundaries, ordinals, month names, and backdating.
Solution: add yesterday, eod, sow/eow, som/eom, soq/eoq, soy/eoy,
+Nw, +Nm, -Nd, -Nw, ordinals (1st-31st), month names (jan-dec),
and later/someday to resolve_date(). Add tests for all new tokens.
* feat(recur): add recurrence parsing and next-date computation
Problem: the plugin has no concept of recurring tasks, which is
needed for habits and repeating deadlines.
Solution: add recur.lua with parse(), validate(), next_due(),
to_rrule(), and shorthand_list(). Supports named shorthands (daily,
weekdays, weekly, etc.), interval notation (Nd, Nw, Nm, Ny), raw
RRULE passthrough, and ! prefix for completion-based mode. Includes
day-clamping for month/year advancement.
* feat(store): add recur and recur_mode task fields
Problem: the task schema has no fields for storing recurrence rules.
Solution: add recur and recur_mode to the Task class, known_fields,
task_to_table, table_to_task, and the add() signature.
* feat(parse): add rec: inline token parsing
Problem: the buffer parser does not recognize recurrence tokens,
so users cannot set recurrence rules inline.
Solution: add recur_key() helper and rec: token parsing in body()
and command_add(), with ! prefix handling for completion-based mode
and validation via recur.validate().
* feat(diff): propagate recurrence through buffer reconciliation
Problem: the diff layer does not extract or apply recurrence fields,
so rec: tokens written in the buffer are silently ignored on :w.
Solution: add rec and rec_mode to ParsedEntry, extract them in
parse_buffer(), and pass them through create and update paths in
apply().
* feat(init): spawn next task on recurring task completion
Problem: completing a recurring task does not create the next
occurrence, and :Pending add does not pass recurrence fields.
Solution: in toggle_complete(), detect recurrence and spawn a new
pending task with the next due date. Wire rec/rec_mode through the
add() command path.
* feat(views): add recurrence to LineMeta
Problem: LineMeta does not carry recurrence info, so the buffer
layer cannot display recurrence indicators.
Solution: add recur field to LineMeta and populate it in both
category_view() and priority_view().
* feat(buffer): add PendingRecur highlight and recurrence virtual text
Problem: recurring tasks have no visual indicator in the buffer,
and the extmark logic uses a rigid if/elseif chain that does not
compose well with additional virtual text fields.
Solution: add PendingRecur highlight group linking to DiagnosticInfo.
Refactor apply_extmarks() to build virtual text parts dynamically,
appending category, recurrence indicator, and due date as separate
composable segments. Set omnifunc on the pending buffer.
* feat(complete): add omnifunc for cat:, due:, and rec: tokens
Problem: the pending buffer has no completion source, requiring
users to type metadata tokens from memory.
Solution: add complete.lua with an omnifunc that completes cat:
tokens from existing categories, due: tokens from the named date
vocabulary, and rec: tokens from recurrence shorthands.
* docs: document recurrence, expanded dates, omnifunc, new config
Problem: the vimdoc does not cover recurrence, expanded date syntax,
omnifunc completion, or the new config fields.
Solution: add DATE INPUT and RECURRENCE sections, update INLINE
METADATA, COMMANDS, CONFIGURATION, HIGHLIGHT GROUPS, HEALTH CHECK,
and DATA FORMAT. Expand the help popup with recurrence patterns and
new date tokens. Add recurrence validation to healthcheck.
* ci: fix
* fix(recur): resolve LuaLS type errors
Problem: LuaLS reported undefined-field for `_raw` on RecurSpec and
param-type-mismatch for `last_day.day` in `advance_date` because
`osdate.day` infers as `string|integer`.
Solution: Add `_raw` to the RecurSpec class annotation and cast
`last_day.day` to integer in both `math.min` call sites.
* refactor(init): remove help popup, use config-driven keymaps
Problem: Buffer-local keymaps were hardcoded with no way for users to
customize them. The g? help popup duplicated information already in the
vimdoc.
Solution: Remove show_help() and the g? mapping. Refactor
_setup_buf_mappings to read from cfg.keymaps, letting users override or
disable any buffer-local binding via vim.g.pending.
* feat(config): add keymaps table for buffer-local bindings
Problem: Users had no way to customize or disable buffer-local key
bindings in the pending buffer.
Solution: Add a pending.Keymaps class and keymaps field to
pending.Config with defaults for all eight buffer actions. Setting any
key to false disables that binding.
* feat(plugin): add Plug mappings for all buffer actions
Problem: Only five of nine buffer actions had <Plug> mappings, so users
could not bind close, undo, open-line, or open-line-above globally.
Solution: Add <Plug>(pending-close), <Plug>(pending-undo),
<Plug>(pending-open-line), and <Plug>(pending-open-line-above).
* docs: update mappings and config for keymaps and new Plug entries
Problem: Vimdoc still listed g? help popup, lacked documentation for
the four new <Plug> mappings, and had no keymaps config section.
Solution: Remove g? from mappings table, document all nine <Plug>
mappings, add keymaps table to the config example and field reference,
and note that buffer-local keys are configurable.
Problem: doc/pending.txt was written before the undo stack, folds,
:Pending due, D mapping, and BufEnter reload were added. Several
entries were factually wrong (single-level undo, d vs D key,
:Pending undo listed as non-existent) and highlight group defaults
referenced stale hex colours.
Solution: correct all factual errors and add missing entries —
:Pending due command, :Pending undo command, zc/zo fold mappings,
PendingOverdue highlight group, semantic link defaults for all groups,
category fold docs, BufEnter auto-reload note, and multi-level undo
description.
* feat(config): add category_order field
Problem: category display order was always insertion order with no way
to configure it.
Solution: add category_order to config defaults so users can declare a
preferred category ordering; unspecified categories append after.
* feat(parse): add relative date resolution
Problem: due dates required full YYYY-MM-DD input, adding friction for
common cases like "today" or "next monday".
Solution: add resolve_date() supporting today, tomorrow, +Nd, and
weekday abbreviations; extend inline token parsing to resolve relative
values before falling back to strict date validation.
* feat(views): overdue flag, category in priority view, category ordering
Problem: overdue tasks were visually indistinct from upcoming ones;
priority view had no category context; category display order was not
configurable.
Solution: compute overdue meta flag for pending tasks past their due
date; set show_category on priority view task meta; reorder categories
according to config.category_order when present.
* feat(buffer): overdue highlight, category virt text in priority view
Problem: overdue tasks had no visual distinction; priority view showed
no category context alongside due dates.
Solution: add PendingOverdue highlight group; render category name as
right-aligned virtual text in priority view, composited with the due
date when both are present.
* feat(init): undo write and buffer-local default mappings
Problem: _undo_state was captured on every save but never consumed;
toggle_priority and prompt_date had no buffer-local defaults, requiring
manual <Plug> configuration.
Solution: implement undo_write() to restore pre-save task state; add !,
d, and U as buffer-local defaults following fugitive's philosophy of
owning the buffer; expose :Pending undo as a command alias.
* test(views): add views spec
Problem: views.lua had no test coverage.
Solution: add 26 tests covering category_view and priority_view
including sort order, line format, overdue detection, show_category
meta, and category_order config behavior.
* test(archive): add archive spec
Problem: archive had no test coverage.
Solution: add 9 tests covering cutoff logic, custom day counts, pending
task preservation, deleted task cleanup, and notify output.
* docs: add vimdoc
Problem: no :help documentation existed.
Solution: add doc/pending.txt covering all features — commands,
mappings, views, configuration, Google Calendar sync, highlight groups,
data format, and health check — following standard vimdoc conventions.
* ci: format
* fix: resolve lint and type check errors
Problem: selene flagged unused variables in new spec files; LuaLS
flagged os.date/os.time return type mismatches, integer? assignments,
and stale task.Task/task.GcalConfig type references.
Solution: prefix unused spec variables with _ or drop unnecessary
assignments; add --[[@as string/integer]] casts for os.date and
os.time calls; add category_order field to pending.Config annotation;
fix task.GcalConfig -> pending.GcalConfig and task.Task[] ->
pending.Task[]; add nil guards on meta[row].id before store calls;
cast store.data() return to non-optional.
