 ## 2. Caret persistence in the side panel
 
-- [ ] 2.1 In `sidepanel/sidepanel.js`, pass current caret (`selectionStart`/`selectionEnd`) and `scrollTop` to `saveNote` in the existing autosave (`doSave`)
+- [x] 2.1 In `sidepanel/sidepanel.js`, pass current caret (`selectionStart`/`selectionEnd`) and `scrollTop` to `saveNote` in the existing autosave (`doSave`)
 - [ ] 2.2 Track caret-only movement via `document` `selectionchange` (filtered to the editor) and editor `scroll`; debounce ~800ms into a caret-only save that calls `saveNote` without broadcasting; skip it while a content autosave is pending
 - [ ] 2.3 Flush any pending caret-only save on editor `blur` and on `visibilitychange` → hidden
