Version 1.7.12

• Trade Import can restore missing imported trade notes into the active vault from canonical backend records without creating duplicate imported trades.

• Compact Home widget settings panels remain scrollable for Goal Progress, Top Setups, and embedded-note configuration workflows.

• Manual trade entry keeps date fields ready while leaving time fields blank, then uses the current time at submission when a time is not entered.

• Backend sign-in and FTP credentials are stored through Obsidian SecretStorage, and Pro-gated sync/import actions use backend entitlement checks.
