Date Filtering for Todoist Project Syncs

This branch adds the ability to filter which Todoist tasks are synced based on their due dates.

New Commands

CommandAliasDescription
/todoist sync project todaytosptSync only tasks due today
/todoist sync project overduetospoSync only overdue tasks
/todoist sync project currenttospcSync overdue + today's tasks

The existing /todoist sync project command now respects the date filter setting.

New Settings

  • Date filter for project syncs - Choose which tasks to sync: all, today, overdue | today, 3 days, or 7 days

Per-Note Filtering

You can override the global setting for individual notes using frontmatter:

---
todoist_id: 12345todoist_filter: today
---

Valid filter values: all, today, overdue, current (overdue + today), 3 days, 7 days

@dbludeau this is my first PR for Noteplan and I'm not sure I fully understand the process. Please let me know if you need more from me

@felciano wow. This is excellent stuff. Are you on the NotePlan discord? If so, can you drop me a DM (@drb). There has been some changes since I last pushed, so might need to get some of the other devs or Eduard's help.

@felciano 2 issues cropping up in early testing.

  • If a heading does not exist, it seems to be creating it for each task it adds. If the heading does exist, then it properly puts all tasks under that one heading.

  • It is not doing dates correctly in my timezone (Mountain Standard Time). I chose today and overdue for sync project, it is returning 3 tasks from today and one from tomorrow (should not be there). When I change it only to "today", it is returning only the one task for tomorrow. So it is using GMT or something to decide the date. I am not sure if there are built in NotePlan functions that may help solve that.

Fix timezone issue in date filtering
fe9f2b9
When parsing Todoist due dates, new Date('YYYY-MM-DD') interprets the
date as UTC midnight, causing incorrect filtering for users in non-UTC
timezones (e.g., Mountain Standard Time).
Added parseLocalDate() helper that splits the ISO date string and creates
a Date using local timezone (new Date(year, month, day)).
Fixes issue where 'today' filter was returning tomorrow's tasks.

@dbludeau both are fixed. The heading issue was a mistake--this code should be part of a separate feature enhancement (multiple projects per note), so I moved that code to a different branch.

The timezone glitch was definitely a bug; should. be fixed now
