NotebookBloom: “Anki not detected” usually means one of these three things

Push to Anki is local. The browser is trying to reach Anki Desktop through AnkiConnect at 127.0.0.1:8765.

1. Keep Anki Desktop open while pushing cards.
2. Install AnkiConnect with add-on code 2055492159.
3. Restart Anki after installing or updating the add-on.

If the connection still fails, the cards are not necessarily broken. The local bridge is unavailable. Exporting an .apkg file is the simplest fallback because it does not use AnkiConnect.

A failed button should tell the user what to fix, not leave them guessing.
