Merge branch 'main' into feat/fix-jump-to

- Add shared search result renderer for consistent snippet display
- Display content and attribute snippets in Quick Search and Jump To
dialog
- Fix crash when encountering orphaned notes without paths
- Add minimal CSS for snippet highlighting

This provides a better search experience by showing snippets of matching
content directly in search results, helping users identify the right
note
without opening it.

fix: Always show content snippets in search results for better context

- Modified extractContentSnippet to always return a snippet from the
beginning of the note when search tokens don't match the content
- Modified extractAttributeSnippet to show first few attributes when no
match is found
- This ensures Jump To dialog and Quick Search always provide context
via content snippets, even when searching by tags/attributes
- Helps users identify the right note regardless of what matched
(content, tags, or attributes)

+ * This means the HTML snippets can be safely inserted without additional escaping on the client side.
