# Orbit Notes task checkpoint

This is an explicit project artifact, not generated memory or proof of a live Codex run.

- Goal: make search ignore case and surrounding spaces while preserving note objects and order.
- Canonical requirement: README.md and the capstone brief.
- Allowed implementation files: notes.cjs and README.md.
- Preserve: notes.json, checks.cjs and WORK-NOTE.md.
- Known baseline: four checks pass, two fail in the supplied starter.
- Verification command: node --test checks.cjs.
- Expected reference: six checks pass; the padded uppercase query returns n1 and n3.
- Open work: inspect the candidate diff and actual check result in the learner's copy.
- External actions: none are part of this exercise.

On resumption, inspect the current files before treating this checkpoint's status as current. Do not assume background memories have updated.
