+# fix/project-card-refresh
+
+## Refresh project cards after subtask edits
+
+Project cards now refresh immediately when subtasks are added or removed via the edit modal. This ensures the project indicator and subtask list update without requiring a manual reload.
+
+Examples (illustrative):
+
+- Assigning subtasks to a task now turns it into a project card right after Save.
+- Removing the last subtask now returns the card to a normal task immediately.
+
+## Changelog
+
+- Invalidate the project index after subtask edits in the task edit modal.
+- Emit a task-updated event for the parent task to refresh visible views.
+
+## Risks / Notes
+
+- This is a minimal fix and does not address the broader, system-wide refresh architecture. A more robust approach is under discussion in: https://github.com/callumalpass/tasknotes/issues/1423
+- The project index invalidation is global, which can be more expensive in large vaults. This is an intentional trade-off for immediate correctness.
+
+## Tests
+
+- `npm run i18n:sync`
+- `npm run lint` (warnings only; matches `upstream/main`)
+- `node generate-release-notes-import.mjs`
+- `npm run typecheck`
+- `npm run test:ci -- --verbose` (fails in `upstream/main`: `tests/unit/issues/due-date-timezone-inconsistency.test.ts`)
+- `npm run test:integration`
+- `npm run test:performance` (no tests found)
+- `npm run build` (missing OAuth IDs: `GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`, `MICROSOFT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`)
+- `npm run test:build`
