feat: Cmd+N for sibling notes, edit focus improvements

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **Cmd+N shortcut for Add Sibling Note** — Remapped Cmd+N from New Workspace to Add Sibling Note (far more frequent action). Cmd+Shift+N remains Add Child Note. New Workspace stays in File menu without a shortcut (PR #198).
+- **AddNoteDialog auto-focus and type pre-selection** — Type dropdown is auto-focused on open so arrow keys work immediately. Adding a sibling pre-selects the reference note's schema type for rapid same-type note creation (PR #198).
+- **Auto-focus tree on workspace open** — Tree panel receives focus after initial note selection so keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Enter to edit) works immediately without a mouse click (PR #198).
+
+### Fixed
+- **Edit focus falls through when title is hidden** — When a schema hides the title field, edit mode now focuses the first schema field instead of leaving no focus (PR #198).
+- **Tag input no longer traps Tab/Enter when empty** — Tab and Enter pass through to normal keyboard navigation and quick-save when the tag input is empty, instead of being swallowed by the tag autocomplete handler (PR #198).
+- **Relay polling resilience** — Parse `Retry-After` header from relay 429 responses into structured `RelayRateLimited` error with `retry_after_secs`. Downgrade attachment blob-skip log from warn to debug for deleted notes (expected during normal sync of append-only op log).
