Research direction

Start by reproducing the add flow in Obsidian with the short titles “Oz” and “It” on macOS using plugin version 0.8.0-canary.20250831. Trace where titles shorter than three characters are ignored, then verify that the behavior is either corrected or clearly documented with a workable way to add short titles.
