Summary
1emand give the header actions consistent spacingWhy
The existing always-on-top action is only available from the title-bar context menu, so it is difficult to discover. Its state is also kept only in memory and is lost when notes are reloaded or the application restarts. The format button additionally has unique padding that makes the header actions look uneven.
This change exposes the existing window-manager behavior directly in the note header and saves it with the rest of the note metadata. Notes without a
pinnedfield remain unpinned, and unpinned notes omit the field, preserving compatibility with existing note data and manager lookups.Validation
