"New Note" button fails silently (422: colon not allowed in names)

The New Note button does nothing on nodum.md. No error appears on screen.
Steps to reproduce
- Log in to nodum.md (free account) & open any vault.
- Click New Note.
- Nothing happens. A new note is never created.
Expected A new note is created, or a visible error explains why not.
Actual POST /api/v1/vaults/{vault_id}/notes returns 422 Unprocessable Content: {"error":{"code":"validation_failed","message":"Character ":" is not allowed in names."}}
Likely cause The button seems to generate a default note name containing a colon (probably a time stamp). The server rejects it, & the UI swallows error.message instead of showing it.
What works
- New note via right-click on a folder in the file explorer
- Daily note button
- Creating a note through the public API with a colon-free title (201 Created)
Environment Windows 11, Vivaldi & Microsoft Edge (both fail identically), tested in a fresh account with 2 vaults (my own & the Demo Workspace), incognito & refresh make no difference.
Suggested fix Strip or replace ":" in the auto-generated default name, & show the server's validation message in the UI when creation fails.
