Subject: [PATCH] feat(quick note): add option to control how duplicate
 filenames are handled Introduce a new quickNoteAlwaysCreate setting. When
 disabled, opening a note with an existing filename will switch to that file
 instead of creating a new one with an incremented number. The legacy behavior
 (always create a numbered file) remains the default.
