Obsidian is configured, the folder scaffold is deployed, and old notes are in their new homes. The vault is no longer provisional.

init-vault.sh ran clean. Shell aliases resolve. Old notes are migrated. The vault is no longer provisional.

proj     # cd ~/vault/02-projects

brief "project" "desc"    # POST to n8n /webhook/brief

What this unblocks

The GMKtec can now hit the Local REST API on the Mac once the key lands in n8n’s credential store. That connection is the last wire before n8n workflows can read and write vault notes directly — the foundation the entire agent pipeline sits on.
