Read separates the file it opens from the file it reports

Reads now track the file opened separately from the file reported, across all file types.

What

Reads now take a separate path to actually open, falling back to the resolved path when there isn't one, and fire a callback once the bytes are off disk. This applies to notebooks, images, PDFs and plain text alike.

Details
  • Bookkeeping for handover reads is skipped when the call came from another session.
  • Image decoding picks a different reader on that remote path.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
