+`npm run install-plugin` builds and copies `main.js`, `styles.css`, and `manifest.json`
+into `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/ablaze/` (set `ABLAZE_VAULT` to target another vault),
+then reload Obsidian. It must be a real directory, not a symlink — see the gotchas.
 
 ## Gotchas learnt the hard way
 
@@ -43,3 +44,11 @@ Copy (or symlink) `main.js`, `styles.css`, and `manifest.json` into
   `onUserEnable()` only runs the one time the plugin is enabled in settings — registering
   the view there means that after any restart the persisted tab has no view and Obsidian
   shows "Plugin no longer active. The plugin that created this tab has gone away."
+- Obsidian Sync only carries `main.js`, `manifest.json`, `styles.css`, and `data.json` to
+  other devices, and the only version a device shows (Settings → Community plugins) is the
+  one in `manifest.json` — bumping `package.json` alone proves nothing. Bump the manifest
+  (`npm version`) when you need to check that a device actually received a build; the panel
+  also prints its version at the bottom for the same reason.
+- Don't symlink the plugin directory into the vault. Desktop Obsidian coped with it, but
+  Obsidian Sync never reliably pushed the rebuilt `main.js` to mobile, which kept running
+  a build from before the `onload()` fix above. `install.mjs` copies real files instead.
