Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When saving some sensitive data in a note, I want to make sure that it is not (accidentally) modified as changes are saved instantly and are non-revertible.

Describe the solution you'd like
I wanna lock a note so that it is in read-only mode until I unlock it. This could be integrated into the 3-dot menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually copying a backup of the .txt file of notes.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the note editor and its 3-dot menu, then determine how editing and saving are controlled; done means a note can be locked, remains read-only until explicitly unlocked, and existing editing behavior remains unchanged afterward.
