Wattle Notes 0.1.6 — responsive sync alpha

Wattle Notes 0.1.6 alpha fixes sync making local images, saves and Google connection settings appear stuck in notebooks with many attachments.

• Keep local image rendering and editing responsive while Drive requests wait.
• Show the current sync phase and item counts in Settings, with counts in the main toolbar.
• Avoid repeated Drive folder listings for each note and attachment, and speed up local note lookups.
• Safely retain edits made during transfers for a later pass when their attachment or history dependencies are not uploaded yet.
• Offer retry when Google connection settings fail to load.

Validated using 100 synthetic notes and 100 attachments, fresh-folder restore, paused/failing network requests, concurrent edits and browser image decoding/autosave during sync. This is not a new live Google-account acceptance test. Image failures unrelated to an active sync still need a reproducible link.

Google sign-in remains built in. Includes signed in-app updating from compatible earlier Apple Silicon alphas. Existing notebooks and connection settings are preserved.

Mostly vibe coded with AI assistance. GPL-3.0-or-later. Apple Silicon macOS alpha, unsigned by Apple and not notarized.
