-If the optional dependencies are missing `denote-fzf-lua` falls back to standard Unix tools. The Rust tools are 2-3x faster. On my PC this is a difference of 0.1s vs 0.2s for 10k notes, or 0.6s vs 1.9s for 100k notes.
-
-`qsv` is used over the smaller, more ubiquitous `xsv` because it can table format very large inputs (e.g. 100k notes) without errors.
+All file parsing and table formatting is done in pure Lua, so the only runtime dependency beyond `fzf-lua` is `fzf` itself.
