Description

From my Pixel 4a running `2.34-174`, when I create a new note, the note editor appears but the keyboard is not on screen. I need to tap the note to bring up the keyboard.

Not a big deal, but it would be nicer to have the keyboard on screen already, or as soon as the screen transition completes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android using the reported flow: create a new note and observe whether the editor opens without the keyboard. Trace the screen transition and editor focus behavior, then verify that the keyboard appears automatically after the transition and that existing note editing remains unaffected.
