fix: keep notes formatting controls visible

 Actions (Command-K) opens the same searchable popup style used throughout Conjure, with **Browse Notes** (Command-P), **New Note** (Command-N), and **Delete Note**. Delete Note asks for confirmation before permanently deleting the currently selected note and its embedded images. Delete is focused by default: Return confirms and Escape cancels; deletion cannot be undone. After deletion, Notes selects a remaining note or creates a fresh blank note if none remain. Save or deletion failures preserve the current note and editor buffer. Command-N creates a note while the editor or either popup is focused. Command-P toggles Browse Notes even while its title-bar controls are covered. Escape or clicking outside closes an open popup and returns focus to the editor without leaving Notes; another Escape dismisses the launcher. Control-J/K navigates only while a popup is open, preserving normal editor commands when it is closed.
 
-The bottom strip applies Markdown headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, links, fenced code blocks, quotes, numbered lists, bullet lists, and checklists. Formatting preserves embedded images and supports Undo. List buttons convert existing list types; clicking the current type removes its marker. The strip’s × hides formatting controls; the text-format icon restores them. Successful autosaves stay unobtrusive; only save, load, or deletion errors appear below the editor.

-Formatting shortcuts use the same actions as the bottom strip and work while it is hidden. They apply to the editor’s current selection or caret, never to text in an open picker. Hover over a formatting button to see its shortcut. Command-K remains Actions.
