feat(context): announce the current note in the turn text (#80)

* feat(context): announce the current note in the turn text

The chip above the composer showed which note was attached, but the note was
sent only once per session, so the agent kept assuming a stale note after the
user switched. Drop the chip and resolve the active note when a turn is built
instead: append <linked_note> to the turn text only when it changed since the
last announcement — first turn, note switch, reopening after close — and
replay it once after a session switch, mirroring <external_context>. Excluded
tags still keep a note out of context.

* refactor(context): rename the note tag to current_note

The tag carries the note the user is viewing and is sent when it changes, so
current_note says what it is; linked_note stays understood as the legacy name
and the system prompt now explains both.

* docs(changelog): keep the current-note entries under Unreleased

Rebasing onto main moved them into the released 1.0.12 section, since that
is where their neighbouring context lines now live.

* chore(chat): drop the dead file-chip styles and lookups left by the chip removal

FileChipsView is gone, so nothing creates .qoderian-file-indicator or applies
the .qoderian-file-chip base pill anymore: remove the container rule, the base
pill with its hover/focus-visible rules, and the two queries that could only
ever return null. The -icon/-name/-remove part classes stay because the
selection indicators share them.
