So the markdown is scaffolding the app generates deterministically.

The ## heading is built from the block's timestamps, the app name and the window title. The frontmatter is per-day boilerplate. The file:/url: line is the window's backing document where the app exposes one. The captured text underneath is written exactly as the tree handed it over: plain lines, no reconstruction.

That lossiness is also why the file/URL references exist. Trying to rebuild a document's formatting from its accessibility tree is a losing game, so instead each block records where the real document lives, and the LLM reading the file can open the original if the fragments aren't enough. "Plain markdown" was meant as "a markdown file you can open anywhere", not "faithful markdown conversion of what you saw"
