# Reported issues for Mindwtr

Pod holds 15 of 15 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Closest existing issues are GUI-only (#779 annual/weekly recurrence intervals, #709 recurrence indicators) or about a different MCP layer (#850 cloud-mode writes, #713 hosted connector). None cover the missing recurrence field in the MCP tool schemas.

### [BUG] mindwtr_complete_task persists completion but logs repeated saveData corruption errors

## Summary

On Windows, `mindwtr-mcp@1.1.1` can persist a task completion while repeatedly logging:

```text
SQLite saveData failed
Failed to flush pending save
SqliteError: database disk image is malformed
```

The MCP response and the durable state therefore contradict the storage errors. Some clients surface the operation as `internal_error`, although a fresh MCP process confirms that the task is already complete. Retrying after the apparent failure risks duplicate or unintended actions.

### Race: stale full-snapshot save can overwrite a newer incremental task save (write loss in short-lived processes)

## Summary

`updateTask` persists incrementally via a **fire-and-forget** `storage.saveTask` call, while `flushPendingSave()` only awaits the debounced snapshot queue (`saveInFlight`). Two consequences:

1. A concurrent full-snapshot save (`saveData`, e.g. triggered by `fetchData`) can land **after** a newer incremental write and overwrite it — the task upsert has no rev guard, so a lower-rev row silently clobbers a higher-rev one.
2. In a short-lived process the in-flight `saveTask` promise may

### [BUG] Desktop app (macOS v0.8.1) does not create mindwtr.db — MCP server cannot connect

### 🖥 Platform
- [x] Desktop (macOS)

### ✅ Affected Area
- [x] Settings / preferences

### Mindwtr Version
v0.8.1 (macOS, Apple Silicon)

### Description

The MCP server cannot connect because the Mindwtr desktop app does not create a standalone `mindwtr.db` SQLite database file on macOS. The MCP server README states it "writes directly to the SQLite database used by the desktop app," but no such file is created at any of the expected paths.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Mindwtr desktop a

### [FEAT] Enable write operations in mindwtr-mcp cloud mode using the existing REST API

## Summary

`mindwtr-mcp` hard-codes all write operations as `readOnly()` in cloud mode
(`cloud-service.ts`), but the Mindwtr cloud server already exposes a full REST
API (`POST /v1/tasks`, `PATCH /v1/tasks/:id`, `POST /v1/tasks/:id/complete`,
`DELETE /v1/tasks/:id`, and equivalents for projects/sections/areas) that
accepts and persists mutations correctly. This request asks to wire those
endpoints into `cloud-service.ts` instead of throwing `ReadOnlyError`.

## Context
