A weird thing I have noted, post OS 26.2, is that Shortcut automations for pulling up a note (with the day and date in the title) no longer works. The same automation still works as it always has on older Macs that don’t support OS26.
It seems to have been reported, but wasn’t addressed in 26.3 or in the betas for 26.4

Suddenly an automation that has worked well for more than a year is returning surprises. The automation seems simple enough, but no.
Getting really odd returns on iPadOS 26.4 from an automation designed to retrieve Notes with the current day and month in the title.
This is different from iPadOS 26.3 where Notes simply crashed while the automation was running.
Up through 26.2, I didn’t have issues with the exact same tool.

Sun goes up. Sun goes down. Weather happens. Seasons change. My emotions are mine.
Lost the last of three sweet little dogs I had the privilege of loving, this morning. A Cairn Terrier named Luci. Poor thing just could not breathe. So we sent her home. Grateful for the doctors who helped us.
Today I learned about a little company called Pineider, that has been around since 1774.
