Added

  • Supports natural language task creation, time tracking, project aggregation, statistics, and an interactive REPL

• Extracted shared natural language parsing logic into the standalone npm package tasknotes-nlp-core

  • Fixed date boundary comparisons in both generateRecurringInstances() and generateRecurringTaskInstances() to compare dates only, not timestamps
  • Thanks to @benefitbug for reporting

• (#1580) Fixed Google Calendar sync failing after OAuth token expires with unhelpful error message

  • When refresh tokens expire or are revoked (e.g., Google Cloud project in Testing mode, user revoked access), the error message was confusing: "Failed to refresh google token: Request failed, status 400"
