feat: ship workspace.json + setup-vault.sh for zero-config user experience
...
Users who clone the repo now get the full setup automatically:
- workspace.json tracked in git (removed from .gitignore)
- Opens with Wiki Map canvas as default view
- Graph view pre-configured: path:wiki filter, 5 color groups, proper physics
- Obsidian reads this on first open before any state reset occurs
- bin/setup-vault.sh — one-time setup script
- Writes correct graph.json (filter + colors)
- Writes app.json (excludes plugin dirs from graph)
- Writes appearance.json (enables vault-colors CSS)
- Prints clear next-step instructions
- Usage: bash bin/setup-vault.sh
- README updated: Option 1 now shows clone + setup.sh as recommended path
- Clear explanation of what the script does
- 2-minute setup flow vs manual configuration
Result: users clone, run setup.sh, open Obsidian — done.
Graph shows only wiki pages, color-coded, no noise.
