Problem: `parse.body()` scanned tokens right-to-left and broke on the
first non-metadata token, so metadata only worked at the trailing end
of a line. `due:tomorrow Fix the bug` silently failed to parse the
due date.
Solution: Replace the right-to-left `while` loop with a single
left-to-right pass that extracts metadata tokens from any position.
Duplicate metadata tokens are dropped with a `log.warn`. Update docs
and tests accordingly.
Problem: `parse.body()` scans tokens right-to-left and breaks on the
first non-metadata token. Forge refs like `gl:a/b#12` halted the scan,
preventing metadata tokens to their left (e.g. `due:tomorrow`) from
being parsed. Additionally, `diff.parse_buffer()` ignored
`metadata.priority` from `+!!` tokens and only used checkbox-derived
priority, and priority updates between two non-zero values were silently
skipped.
Solution: Recognize forge ref tokens via `forge.parse_ref()` during the
right-to-left scan and skip past them, re-appending them to the
description so `forge.find_refs()` still works. Prefer
`metadata.priority` over checkbox priority in `parse_buffer()`, and
simplify the priority update condition to catch all value changes.
* refactor: tighten LuaCATS annotations across modules
Problem: type annotations repeated inline unions with no aliases,
used `table<string, any>` where structured types exist, and had
loose `string` where union types should be used.
Solution: add `pending.TaskStatus`, `pending.RecurMode`,
`pending.TaskExtra`, `pending.ForgeType`, `pending.ForgeState`,
`pending.ForgeAuthStatus` aliases and `pending.SyncBackend`
interface. Replace inline unions and loose types with the new
aliases in `store.lua`, `forge.lua`, `config.lua`, `diff.lua`,
`views.lua`, `parse.lua`, `init.lua`, and `oauth.lua`.
* refactor: canonicalize internal metadata field names
Problem: `pending.Metadata` used shorthand field names (`cat`, `rec`,
`rec_mode`) matching user-facing token syntax, coupling internal
representation to config. `RecurSpec.from_completion` used a boolean
where a `pending.RecurMode` alias exists. `category_syntax` was
hardcoded to `'cat'` with no config option.
Solution: rename `Metadata` fields to `category`/`recur`/`recur_mode`,
add `category_syntax` config option (default `'cat'`), rename
`ParsedEntry` fields to match, replace `RecurSpec.from_completion`
with `mode: pending.RecurMode`, and restore `[string]` indexer on
`pending.ForgeConfig` alongside explicit fields.
* feat(s3): create bucket interactively during auth when unconfigured
Problem: when a user runs `:Pending s3 auth` with no bucket configured,
auth succeeds but offers no way to create the bucket. The user must
manually run `aws s3api create-bucket` and update their config.
Solution: add `util.input()` coroutine-aware prompt wrapper and a
`create_bucket()` flow in `s3.lua` that prompts for bucket name and
region, handles the `us-east-1` LocationConstraint quirk, and logs a
config snippet on success. Called automatically from `auth()` when
`sync.s3.bucket` is absent.
* ci: typing
* feat(parse): add `parse_duration_to_days` for duration string conversion
Problem: The archive command accepted only a bare integer for days,
inconsistent with the `+Nd`/`+Nw`/`+Nm` duration syntax used elsewhere.
Solution: Add `parse_duration_to_days()` supporting `Nd`, `Nw`, `Nm`,
and bare integers. Returns nil on invalid input for caller error handling.
* feat(archive): duration syntax and confirmation prompt
Problem: `:Pending archive` accepted only a bare integer for days and
silently deleted tasks with no confirmation, risking accidental data loss.
Solution: Accept duration strings (`7d`, `3w`, `2m`) via
`parse.parse_duration_to_days()`, show a `vim.ui.input` confirmation
prompt before removing tasks, and skip the prompt when zero tasks match.
* fix(diff): preserve due/rec when absent from buffer line
Problem: `diff.apply` overwrites `task.due` and `task.recur` with `nil`
whenever those fields aren't present as inline tokens in the buffer line.
Because metadata is rendered as virtual text (never in the line text),
every description edit silently clears due dates and recurrence rules.
Solution: Only update `due`, `recur`, and `recur_mode` in the existing-
task branch when the parsed entry actually contains them (non-nil). Users
can still set/change these inline by typing `due:<date>` or `rec:<rule>`;
clearing them requires `:Pending edit <id> -due`.
* refactor: remove project-local store discovery
Problem: `store.resolve_path()` searched upward for `.pending.json`,
silently splitting task data across multiple files depending on CWD.
Solution: `resolve_path()` now always returns `config.get().data_path`.
Remove `M.init()` and the `:Pending init` command and tab-completion
entry. Remove the project-local health message.
* refactor: extract log.lua, standardise [pending.nvim]: prefix
Problem: Notifications were scattered across files using bare
`vim.notify` with inconsistent `pending.nvim: ` prefixes, and the
`debug` guard in `textobj.lua` and `init.lua` was duplicated inline.
Solution: Add `lua/pending/log.lua` with `info`, `warn`, `error`, and
`debug` functions (prefix `[pending.nvim]: `). `log.debug` only fires
when `config.debug = true` or the optional `override` param is `true`.
Replace all `vim.notify` callsites and remove inline debug guards.
* feat(parse): configurable input date formats
Problem: `due:` only accepted ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` and built-in keywords;
users expecting locale-style dates like `03/15/2026` or `15-Mar-2026`
had no way to configure alternative input formats.
Solution: Add `input_date_formats` config field (string[]). Each entry
is a strftime-like format string supporting `%Y`, `%y`, `%m`, `%d`,
`%e`, `%b`, `%B`. Formats are tried in order after built-in keywords
fail. When no year specifier is present the current or next year is
inferred. Update vimdoc and add 8 parse_spec tests.
* 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: several critical code paths had zero test coverage —
parse.resolve_date (relative date resolution), store.snapshot
(foundation of the undo stack), and the diff.apply invariant that
unchanged tasks do not get their modified timestamp bumped. The
diff.apply due/priority clearing paths were also untested.
Solution: add six targeted test blocks across parse_spec, store_spec,
and diff_spec: resolve_date happy/failure paths, parse.body with
relative due tokens, snapshot copy-semantics and deleted-task
exclusion, diff unchanged-modified invariant, due cleared on removal,
priority cleared on ! removal.
Problem: unused variables (undo_state, sha_result, date match
captures) and duplicate if/else branches in gcal sync triggered
selene warnings and errors.
Solution: prefix unused state with underscore, simplify date
validation to a single pattern match, remove dead sha_result
call, and merge duplicate event deletion branches into a single
condition.
Problem: need test coverage for core data operations, inline
metadata parsing, and buffer diff algorithm.
Solution: add busted specs for store CRUD, round-trip
preservation, parse body/command_add with configurable date
syntax, and diff create/delete/update/copy/move operations.
