mergeNotesByVersion only iterated incoming notes, dropping any local-only notes (e.g. just created but not yet in the server/IDB response). This caused note cards to disappear briefly after creation when loadNotes raced with createNote. Also rename E2E test note title to avoid name collision with existing "Groceries" test. https://claude.ai/code/session_01TdPpATUkmdY7DhBkmqrvWs
