@remind tag added via MCP server does not sync to Apple Reminders until the line is touched in the app
Summary: Adding a task containing an @remind(...) tag via the noteplan-mcp server does not create a corresponding Apple Reminders entry. The reminder only appears to sync after the task line is edited and saved from inside the NotePlan app itself.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a task to a calendar note via MCP (noteplan_paragraphs, action: add) with content containing @remind(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM).
2. Confirm the note content shows the task with the @remind(...) tag.
3. Check Apple Reminders - no matching reminder is created, even after several seconds, with the NotePlan app running in the background.
4. Open the note in the NotePlan app and make a trivial edit to the task line (e.g. add a line break, then remove it) so the app registers and saves a change.
5. Re-check Apple Reminders - the reminder now appears correctly.
Expected: A task with @remind(...) added via MCP should sync to Apple Reminders the same way it does when typed directly in the app's editor, without requiring a manual touch.
Environment: NotePlan app (Setapp) running locally alongside the MCP server, macOS.
This suggests the @remind -> Reminders sync is triggered by an in-app editor save/change event rather than by the underlying note content itself, so writes made through the MCP bridge don't trigger it.
