Root cause: in mergeSpIntoExistingFile (SP→MD write-back), a subtask added in SP under a parent that was already present in the file arrived "alone" in the append step (the parent isn't new), so convertTasksToMarkdown rendered it as a flat, unindented orphan at the end of the file. Generating a brand-new file worked, which is why the existing unit tests passed — the in-place merge had no subtask coverage.

Fix:

New subtasks of an already-present parent are now inserted indented, directly under that parent (after its existing subtask block), ordered by the parent's subTaskIds.
Indentation reuses the file's actual indent unit (tab or spaces) via a new detectIndentString — the original attempt measured indent by character length and re-emitted spaces, which collapsed a tab to a single space.
Added regression tests for the in-place merge (new subtask under existing parent, tab indent, 1-space indent, brand-new parent appended nested).

Verified on macOS 18.9.1D: adding a subtask in SP under an existing parent now writes it indented with a tab, matching the file's existing subtasks.

Closing as fixed.

Fixed in v0.1.2 (commit 3eefaf7). **Root cause:** in `mergeSpIntoExistingFile` (SP→MD write-back), a subtask added in SP under a parent that was already present in the file arrived "alone" in the append step (the parent isn't new), so `convertTasksToMarkdown` rendered it as a flat, unindented orphan at the end of the file.
