v1.0 Non-Goals
- No reverse export — Markdown → Word/PDF not supported
- No OCR — scanned PDFs produce a stub note only
- No cloud sync — local files only (use Confluence Weaver for remote)
- HWP/HWPx — beta quality; complex formatting and merged table cells may be lost
- PDF tables — rendered as plain text in v1 (heuristic reconstruction planned for v2)
