Research direction

The report names only the desktop application and its automatic-saving behavior; it provides no file, entry point, or reproduction steps. Start by tracing how desktop data is saved and whether the reported notes can be recovered; done requires a confirmed recovery path or a reproducible fix for the data-loss case.
