The screen stopped blinking — and stopped interrupting you

The Home page keeps itself fresh — a once-a-minute tick for the time-of-day bits, plus a re-check whenever your data syncs in the background. Each of those was redrawing the whole page even when the answer was "nothing changed," and on some machines that read as a visible blink every few seconds.

Worse: if the tick landed while you were in the middle of typing — a note, a checklist item — the redraw replaced the very box you were typing in. Your text was safe, but the cursor vanished, focus jumped away, and a notes box you'd dragged taller snapped back to its old size. Mid-sentence.

Fixed on both fronts: renders are compared against what's on screen and skipped when identical, and a redraw now waits politely while your cursor is inside anything editable — it applies the moment you step away. The notes box also remembers its dragged height through any redraw. Same freshness, zero interruptions.
