 ## 4. Adjustable font size
 
-- [ ] 4.1 Add `A-` and `A+` buttons to the header in `sidepanel/sidepanel.html` before the `☰` button; style them like `#open-list` in `sidepanel/sidepanel.css`
+- [x] 4.1 Add `A-` and `A+` buttons to the header in `sidepanel/sidepanel.html` before the `☰` button; style them like `#open-list` in `sidepanel/sidepanel.css`
 - [ ] 4.2 In `sidepanel/sidepanel.js`, implement font-size state: default 16px, range 10–24px, step 1px; apply via `editor.style.fontSize`; load from `localStorage` (`side-notes:fontSize`) at init and persist on every change
 - [ ] 4.3 Wire the two buttons to decrease/increase with clamping
 - [ ] 4.4 Add keyboard shortcuts in the existing keydown handler: `Ctrl/Cmd+=` (and `+` variant) increase, `Ctrl/Cmd+-` decrease, `Ctrl/Cmd+0` reset to 16px, all with `preventDefault()`
