 ## Unreleased
 
+### Synchronisation and storage
+
+#### Improved
+
+- Start-up now keeps unconfigured Vaults on the onboarding path without running configured-only checks or accepting Config Doctor and incomplete-document repair requests. Returning a configured Vault to an unconfigured state also retires those requests for the current plug-in process, so completing setup admits them only after the requested restart.
+
+### Testing
+
+- Start-up migrations, integrity checks, Config Doctor, basic commands, and the Obsidian replication ribbon now have focused regression tests for their service composition. Real Obsidian checks cover unconfigured onboarding, configured start-up scanning, Config Doctor detection and layout, command registration, and the established ribbon icon.
