Research direction

Reproduce the issue from Journals using the upper-right “Go Forward” button and Ctrl+] on Windows 11, checking navigation to a future date without an existing journal entry. Trace the journal navigation entry points and determine the intended behavior for missing future files. Done means both controls advance consistently and the behavior for empty future dates is covered by a regression test.

What Happened?

on the current days Journal, clicking the "Go Forward" button, upper right corner, windows 11, won't go forward.
ctrl+] also does not advance.

I'm assuming these actions should create files, in advance of the day, as I cycle through them?

Reproduce the Bug
  1. click Journals, get brought to "Today"
  2. click the "Go Forward" button, upper right, or Ctrl+]
  3. go to tomorrow, or the next journal entry.
  4. it don't go.....
Expected Behavior

it should go forward.
Should it create a mess of empty files? I assume it might need to?
Maybe just go forward until I type something? That seems wasteful.
If it's Friday, and I just want a note for myself for Sunday, when I look at LogSeq, I just want to easy add that.

I don't think it's reasonable for folks to go forward 100 days by just sitting on the Ctrl+] keys, but you all decide what needs to happen here.

Additional Context

I MIGHT look into submitting a PR for this.
If anyone feels like sending my github email a link to a setup to do development, i'll certainly take a look.
But I'm a 20+ year .NET dev, so I think i'm a total noob for this repo, right?

Are you willing to submit a PR? If you know how to fix the bug.
