Ensured note list updates after note deletion from the Tags section
Tech note: Earlier versions used a different format for internal note identifiers. These have now been standardised for long-term stability. If needed, the app will prompt you to do a one-click update. This is a one-time adjustment during the beta period and does not change your notes.
