Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android and Electron sequence described in steps 1–7, including edits made while the Android device is offline. Trace synchronization and note-history behavior around the point where the newer version replaces the offline edit. Done means an offline edit remains recoverable after a later online edit and synchronization, with the note history available.
