Inkwell v1.5.0 — SQLite Persistence

Highlights

SQLite persistence layer. Workspace state, files, recent files, templates, themes, and version history now live in a real local database (inkwell.db) instead of browser localStorage. Faster, more reliable, without the cap.

Automatic migration. Existing v1.4 users upgrade cleanly with their files, recent files, custom templates, custom themes, hidden templates, version history, workspace path, split ratio, and typewriter mode all migrated to SQLite on first launch. One-shot, idempotent, with errors caught.

Polished save dialog for cleaner native save UX.

Features

• SQLite persistence layer replaces localStorage
• One-time localStorage → SQLite migration on first launch for v1.4 upgrades

Fixes

• Search lag on large files — debounced input, removed full re-render on every keystroke
• Window drag restored — removed conflicting JS handler that was breaking native dragging

Internal

• Test cleanup: removed 14 weak/rigged tests, 219 remain
• README updated to document the SQLite persistence layer
