Configurable Sync Folder (Android feature parity)
- WebDAV sync folder is now configurable instead of hardcoded /notes/
- New "Advanced" section in Settings dialog with sync folder input
- New "Advanced" toggle in Connection dialog for setting folder before first connect
- Input sanitization: only alphanumeric, dash and underscore allowed (max 50 chars)
- Changing the sync folder in Settings triggers automatic reconnect with notes reload
3-line Sidebar Previews
- Text notes show up to 3 lines of content instead of a single truncated line
- Checklist notes show first 3 items with ☐/☑ icons instead of count-only summary
- Checklists with more than 3 items show additional "X/X completed" summary line
Real-time Sidebar Updates while editing (title, content, checklist changes reflect immediately)

GTK Client-Side Decorations removed on Linux — KWin now uses native Server-Side Decorations
Frozen titlebar buttons after tray hide/show on KDE/Wayland (use gtk_window.present())
Backspace in empty checklist item no longer deletes the item (only blur + ✕ button do)
Checklist separator position when all items are checked or only one item exists
Trailing "0 completed" separator on fully unchecked checklists removed
Checklist item order gaps after deletions (sequential renormalization)
Manual sort mode now groups unchecked above checked while preserving drag order
Editor now clears when switching sync folders (no stale note from previous folder)
First note no longer appears visually selected after connecting without opening it
