inventory69 015b90d56e 🐛 v1.2.1: Markdown Initial Export Bugfix + URL Normalization + GitHub Workflow Fix 
## 🐛 Fixed
- Initial Markdown export: Existing notes now exported when Desktop Integration activated

- GitHub release notes: Fixed language order (DE primary, EN collapsible) and emoji

## ✨ Improved

- Server config: Enter only base URL (app adds /notes/ and /notes-md/ automatically)
- Flexible URL input: Both http://server/ and http://server/notes/ work
- Changelogs: Shortened for F-Droid 500 char limit

## 🔧 Technical
- getNotesUrl() helper with smart /notes/ detection
- getMarkdownUrl() simplified to use getNotesUrl()
- All JSON operations updated to use normalized URLs
- exportAllNotesToMarkdown() with progress callback
- Workflow: Swapped CHANGELOG_DE/EN, replaced broken emoji with 🌍
