title: Remove Missing note warning and use (add note) placeholder

## Problem

Cards with no note display a "Missing note" warning label and the note preview area shows "Missing" text. This is unnecessarily alarming — not every card needs a note. The warning treatment implies something is wrong when it's just an empty optional field.

## Solution

1. Remove the "Missing note" warning label from the card face (the amber/yellow missing indicator)
2. Change the note preview placeholder from "Missing" to "(add note)" — a gentler call-to-action that indicates the field is clickable/editable without implying an error state
3. Update `CardMissingState::MissingNote` handling — either remove this variant or change it to not trigger the warning label display
