Closes#5
Silent-Sync Implementation (Auto-Sync Banner Fix):
- Add SYNCING_SILENT state to SyncStateManager for background syncs
- Auto-sync (onResume) now triggers silently without banner interruption
- Silent-sync state blocks additional manual syncs (mutual exclusion)
- Error banners still display even after silent-sync failures
- SyncStatus tracks 'silent' flag to hide COMPLETED banners after silent-sync
UI/UX Improvements (from v1.5.0 post-migration fixes):
- Fix text wrapping in checklist items (singleLine=false, maxLines=5)
- Fix cursor position in text notes (use TextFieldValue with TextRange)
- Display app icon instead of emoji in AboutScreen
- Add smooth slide animations for NoteEditor transitions
- Remove visual noise from AboutScreen icon
Technical Changes:
- ComposeNoteEditorActivity: Add back animation with OnBackPressedCallback
- ComposeMainActivity: Add entry/exit slide animations for note editing
- NoteEditorScreen: Use TextFieldValue for proper cursor positioning
- ChecklistItemRow: Enable text wrapping for long checklist items
- AboutScreen: Convert Drawable to Bitmap via Canvas (supports AdaptiveIcon)
- SyncStatusBanner: Exclude SYNCING_SILENT from visibility checks
- MainActivity: Update legacy auto-sync to use silent mode

Compatible with: v1.2.0-v1.3.0
- Create SimpleNotesApplication class for app-level lifecycle
- Move NetworkMonitor from Activity to Application context
- Add comprehensive logging to NetworkMonitor (all callbacks)
- Add logging to SyncWorker for debugging
- Remove NetworkMonitor from MainActivity (now in Application)
- Add Battery Optimization dialog in SettingsActivity
- Improve Notifications (showSyncInProgress, showSyncSuccess, showSyncError)
This should fix background sync issues - NetworkMonitor now runs
with Application context instead of Activity context, which should
survive when app is in background.
Debug with: adb logcat | grep -E 'NetworkMonitor|SyncWorker|SimpleNotesApp'
