Closed note with unchecked tasks

A note with status: closed is inconsistent when it still contains unchecked tasks.

Why it matters

Section titled “Why it matters”

Closed means the note should no longer carry active work. If unchecked tasks remain, the note is ambiguous: either the status is wrong, or the work needs to be completed or moved.

Inbox makes that mismatch visible so the user can clean up the note before the task disappears from active planning.

What to expect

Section titled “What to expect”
  • status: closed notes with unchecked tasks are reported in Inbox.
  • Closed notes with only completed tasks do not trigger this issue.
  • The issue text is Closed note still has unchecked tasks.
