StudyMesh:MAIN Add notes-first workspace draft flow

[Pichikachu]

Adds a notes-first path so StudyMesh feels less like an AI wrapper and more like a place to think/write first.

What changed:

• Empty dashboards now include a “Start with notes, not AI” Markdown scratchpad.
• Clicking “Open notes page” turns the draft into a temporary dashboard with one Markdown notes widget.
• The temporary notes dashboard is not added to saved dashboards/library; it only becomes durable if the user saves it through the existing dashboard save flow.
• Ask Sources gets a private notes lane so users can talk/write to themselves without invoking AI, then open that text as a notes dashboard.
• Notes dashboards reuse existing CustomWidget + MarkdownBlock structures, so they can be read by current dashboard/source context without new storage contracts.

Verification:

• npx vitest --run --config ./vitest.config.ts tests/unit/components/dashboard/Dashboard.test.tsx tests/unit/dashboard/dashboardChatContext.test.ts — 13 passed.
• npm --workspace studymesh run build — passed with existing Sass/asset warnings.

Adding the notes in the AI Chat is weird, but the ability to create a dashboard so easily from the empty dashboard, just by writing a small text, deserves some attention.

And also, these notes appeara in the dashboard with some kind of "temporal" state, so they are not saved for real in your library, but you have to manually save them (it could appear a disk emoticon for it), which is very nice, letting the user create drafts or temporal notes, that they will later decide if storing them or not, it's more of a Notion like type of feature.

I don't know if exactly this, but it's a nice idea to consider eventually, having these quick and draft type of notes/dashboards.

Temporary / Draft:
- Appears as a dashboard tab.
- Can be used immediately.
- Is not in the Library yet.
- Shows a clear “Draft” or “Unsaved” badge.
- Has a disk/save icon.
- User can save it permanently when they want.
