Proof E — the shared view engine, same outline as Proof D

Section titled “Proof E — the shared view engine, same outline as Proof D”

Phase 1 of ecco-notepads-build. Same 10-item, 4-level outline as ecco-treeview-proof.md, but View 6/7 are now two-line calls to the shared engine at Focus/scripts/ecco-view.js instead of ~25 lines of inlined JS each. The tree-walking logic inside that engine is unchanged from the proof — only wrapped in a function and looped per dv.pages(source) page, so it can run over a folder of notepads later, not just one file.

Headless check already passed (node Focus/scripts/ecco-view.test.mjs — View 6, View 7, and a showAncestors:false case, all PASS) — that proves the algorithm. This file is the one thing the harness can’t check: does dv.pages() + dv.view() actually reach these items and render the same tree Obsidian rendered for Proof D. Obsidian CLI wasn’t registered yet (Phase 0), so this needs Talbot’s eyes.

View 6 — “Today only”, filtered and nested — now a two-line call

Section titled “View 6 — “Today only”, filtered and nested — now a two-line call”
dv.view("Focus/scripts/ecco-view", {
field: "focus", value: "today",
source: '"Core/Processes/Projects/Focus/proofs/ecco-view-engine-proof"'
});

Expected — identical to Proof D’s View 6:

- Chilton partnership
- Draft the follow-up email
- Confirm the send date with Talbot
- Rate scanner — daily ops check

View 7 — “Waiting”, one deep match, ancestors italic

Section titled “View 7 — “Waiting”, one deep match, ancestors italic”
dv.view("Focus/scripts/ecco-view", {
field: "status", value: "waiting",
source: '"Core/Processes/Projects/Focus/proofs/ecco-view-engine-proof"'
});

Expected — identical to Proof D’s View 7:

- *Chilton partnership*
- *Draft the follow-up email*
- Confirm the send date with Talbot
  1. Do View 6 and View 7 above render exactly what Proof D rendered (same four items / same single-match-with-ancestors)?
  2. If either shows a JavaScript error instead of the list, paste the error — the algorithm is proven headlessly; a failure here is dv.view() / dv.pages() API surface, not the tree logic.
