Core Frontmatter

---
type:
status:
created:
updated:
tags: []
agent_written: false
source_notes: []   # plain relative paths as strings — NEVER [[wikilinks]]
---

No [[wikilinks]] in frontmatter. YAML parses [[...]] as nested lists, so wiki links placed in frontmatter (e.g. an old related: field) silently break and do not render as clickable links. All cross-references go in a ## Related section in the note body, as a bulleted list of [[links]]. Keep frontmatter to scalar/string metadata only. source_notes, when used, holds plain relative path strings, not links.
