 - Made the markdown editor areas in task modals easier to click and focus.
 - Reduced false-positive plugin review warnings by making background auto-export and auto-archive schedulers non-overlapping and tightening type/string conversion paths.
+- Persist failed Google Calendar task-event deletions in plugin data and retry them after restart or reconnect, preventing orphaned task events when a task file is deleted while Google cleanup fails or sync is not ready.
+- Track exported Google Calendar task events in plugin data so startup can recover cleanup for task files deleted while Obsidian was closed.
+- Persist Google Calendar task sync requests while Google Calendar is not ready and replay the current task state after reconnect for scheduled, due, or both-date calendar modes.
+- Restore cancelled Google Calendar event tombstones when a task is synced to an existing event ID, so deleted-but-still-addressable events become visible again.
+- Prevent duplicate Google Calendar task events when concurrent syncs race before the newly created event ID reaches Obsidian metadata.
+- Prevent pending intermediate status updates from overwriting completed Google Calendar task events when users quickly cycle a task to done.
+- Mark Google Calendar events as completed when tasks were already done before they became calendar-eligible.
