Note creation template placeholder differs from the YAML-safe default #390
Description
The Note creation template placeholder includes url: "{{url}}" in YAML frontmatter. The shipped default keeps {{url}} in the body because local-file URLs are vault wikilinks and pass through without YAML escaping.
At PodNotesSettingsTab.ts, the placeholder claims to mirror the default but uses the older layout. constants.ts contains the current default. TemplateEngine.ts preserves genuine local-file links verbatim.
Copying the hint into a template can produce invalid YAML for a local filename containing a literal double quote. Update the hint to match the shipped default, with URLs in the body.
Found during the DOCS2 source audit. This is a source-based finding. Real Obsidian reproduction has not been performed. Plugin source is outside this docs unit's scope.

Fixed by the settings rewrite in #468 and already present on current master
d5022199ca5adecca8cf2fbc69fe013820ebd0fa.The Episode note template field calls
this.text((settings) => settings.note, "template"). The shared field helper setsplaceholder: section(DEFAULT_SETTINGS)[key], so the placeholder comes directly from the shipped default. That default places{url}in the note body.Verified from current master source during NOTE2. No further settings change is needed.
