plugin 0.3.0: port search-first rule + 6 new SKILL.md improvements

Promotes the previously session-local search-first write rule into the
canonical plugin and applies items 2-7 from echo-skill-improvements memory:

1. Loading Step 4 and a new mandatory pre-write search section now require
   POST /search/simple/?query=<slug> across all four project lifecycle
   subfolders before creating any slug-addressed note.
2. Daily-note Agent Log uses a resilient PATCH procedure that auto-creates
   the daily note from the template if missing and adds the heading if
   absent before patching.
3. New Style Rule: `created:` is the earliest known date, not "today";
   preserve it on merges.
4. New Project Lifecycle section: incubating / active / on-hold / archived,
   with the rule that folder and frontmatter.status must agree.
5. Session filename pinned to YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-<slug>.md (lex-sortable);
   existing files left as-is.
6. Loading Step 3: read only the ~5 most recent sessions by reverse lex
   sort instead of the full list.
7. `source_notes` defined as a backward link to inputs; forward links
   belong in `## Related` in the body.

Repo layout: promotes the previously zipped-only plugin to a tracked
source tree at echo-memory.plugin.src/. The .plugin zip is rebuilt
from source on each version bump.

Bumps plugin.json to 0.3.0.

# ECHO — Obsidian Local REST API Reference
Server: `https://echoapi.alwisp.com` (reverse proxy → backend Obsidian Local REST API)
Auth header: `Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab`
The endpoint has a **valid TLS certificate**`-k` is not required. Paths address the vault at its **root**.
---
## Reading Files
```bash
# Read any file by vault path
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/_agent/context/current-context.md"
```
Returns raw file content (text/markdown). On 404, the file does not exist.
```bash
# Read a specific heading's content only
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/_agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences.md/heading/Operator"
```
Nested headings: separate levels with `::` (URL-encode spaces as `%20`):
```
/vault/path/to/note.md/heading/Work%3A%3AMeetings
```
---
## Listing Directories
```bash
# List contents of a directory (trailing slash required)
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/_agent/sessions/"
```
Returns JSON: `{ "files": [...], "folders": [...] }`.
---
## Appending Content (POST)
`POST` appends to the **end** of an existing file. Creates the file if it doesn't exist.
```bash
cat > /tmp/obs_entry.md << 'OBSEOF'
- 2026-06-05: your entry here
OBSEOF
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
-H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
--data-binary @/tmp/obs_entry.md \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/inbox/captures/inbox.md"
```
---
## Creating or Overwriting Files (PUT)
`PUT` creates a new file or fully overwrites an existing one. Intermediate directories are created automatically.
```bash
cat > /tmp/obs_file.md << 'OBSEOF'
---
type: session-log
status: complete
created: 2026-06-05

```

## Patching a Specific Section (PATCH)
`PATCH` edits inside a file without rewriting it. Target and operation are set via headers.
### Append under a heading
**Heading targets must be the FULL heading path, `::`-delimited from the top-level heading.** A bare subheading name returns `400 invalid-target` (errorCode 40080). Example: `## Fact / Pattern` nested under `# Operator Preferences``Target: Operator Preferences::Fact / Pattern`. Percent-encode non-ASCII characters (e.g. `H%C3%A9llo`); spaces are fine.
```bash
cat > /tmp/obs_patch.md << 'OBSEOF'
Jason prefers concise status updates — lead with the decision.
OBSEOF
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
-H "Operation: append" \
-H "Target-Type: heading" \
-H "Target: Operator Preferences::Fact / Pattern" \
-H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
--data-binary @/tmp/obs_patch.md \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/_agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences.md"
```
### Discover heading / block / frontmatter targets
When unsure of the exact heading path, GET the note with the document-map Accept header:
```bash
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.olrapi.document-map+json" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/_agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences.md"
```
Returns `{ "headings": [...], "blocks": [...], "frontmatterFields": [...] }`. Copy the heading string verbatim into `Target`.
### Replace a heading's content entirely
Same call with `Operation: replace` — e.g. to refresh a project's `Project Name::Current status`.
### Prepend under a heading
Same call with `Operation: prepend`.
### Patch a frontmatter field
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
-H "Operation: replace" \
-H "Target-Type: frontmatter" \
-H "Target: updated" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '"2026-06-05"' \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/projects/active/vault-foundation.md"
```
---
## Searching
```bash
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/search/simple/?query=weekly+review"
```
Returns an array of `{ filename, score, matches: [{ context, match }] }`.
---
## Deleting Files
```bash
curl -s -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab" \
"https://echoapi.alwisp.com/vault/archive/notes/old-note.md"
```
Only on explicit operator request. Deletion is destructive.
---
## URL-Encoding Notes
- Path separators (`/`) in the vault path are **literal** — do not encode them.
- Spaces in filenames or heading targets in a URL: use `%20`.
- Nested heading levels in a URL path: use `%3A%3A` for `::`.
- Heading text in the `Target:` header: the **full heading path** joined by `::` (e.g. `Operator Preferences::Fact / Pattern`), no `#`; spaces are fine; percent-encode non-ASCII.
