Thanks for making this improvement!
I'm wondering if the note prefix should apply to attachments too, like it does in the Apple Notes importer format?
| t.onChange(v => updatePrefix(v)); | ||
| // In practice, users may click Import while focus is still in this field. | ||
| // 'change' may not fire yet, so persist on each keystroke too. | ||
| t.inputEl.addEventListener('input', () => updatePrefix(t.inputEl.value)); |

I do not think this is necessary. In my testing I see that the onChange hook is called before this listener every time I press a key.
| async import(ctx: ImportContext): Promise<void> { | ||
| // The importer modal clears/rebuilds its DOM before import runs, so read from | ||
| // persisted settings here instead of trusting the now-detached input element. | ||
| this.filePrefixFormat = localStorage.getItem(LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY) || ''; |

I'm not sure why this is necessary. this.filePrefixFormat is the same before and after this line in my testing.

Adds a
File prefix formatoption to the Bear importer, matching the Apple Notes behavior for note filenames.This lets users prefix imported Bear note names with creation dates using a format like
YYYY-MM-DD, or leave it blank for no prefix.Apple Notes implementation similar to https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-importer/blob/master/src/formats/apple-notes.ts
