+**Amendment 2026-07-13 — recursive enumeration + a 2-char search threshold.**
+Loading a real repo (`jcalixte/notes`) exposed that `enumerate_files` listed
+only the **top-level** files of `/sd/repo` and `/sd/local` — a nested notes tree
+showed a single file in the palette (subpaths always *opened* fine via
+`:e repo/sub/x.md`; only the listing was flat). The enumeration is now a
+recursive walk: dot entries are skipped at every level (so `.git` is never
+descended into), each directory is read fully before recursing (one FatFS dir
+handle open at a time — the `remove_dir_recursive` pattern, kind to the
+FD-bounded mount), depth is capped at 8, and the boot-time walk logs its file
+count and duration (`file walk: N files in Xms`) so the FAT dir-IO cost on a
+big repo is measurable, not assumed. With the list now card-sized, the palette
+gained a **search threshold**: below 2 typed chars the result list is the
+**recents (MRU) only** — quick-switch (`Cmd-P`, `Enter`) stays one keystroke
+away — and the full fuzzy-ranked list appears from 2 chars on
+(`PALETTE_MIN_QUERY`). A fresh boot with no opens yet shows `(type to search)`.
+`>` commands and `$` snippets are short curated lists; the threshold does not
+apply to them.
