Each note gets a hide button in its title bar and a "Hide Note" item in its context menu. The hidden state is saved with the note, and showing all notes (tray icon, --toggle, activating the app) leaves individually hidden notes hidden. In the manager, hidden notes are dimmed, italicised and marked with the xsi-view-conceal-symbolic icon. Clicking that icon, or activating the note, shows it again. Duplicated notes are always created visible. Addresses linuxmint#78. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This lets you hide individual notes, as asked for in #78.

Notes saved without the key are treated as visible.--toggle, activating the app, clicking the group list in the manager) leaves individually hidden notes hidden. This is the problem raised about the close button in Add Close button and confirmation dialog to Sticky notes #147: there, a tray click brought back every note you'd closed.xsi-view-conceal-symbolicicon. The tooltip says the note is hidden. Clicking the icon shows the note again (the pointer turns into a hand over it), as does activating the note as usual, including from search results.New translatable strings: "Hide Note" and "%s (hidden - click the icon to show)".

Testing
Tested on Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon, X11) with a scripted GTK test that drives the real widgets, run against the branch as submitted:
notes.json.hidden: false.notes.jsonwithout thehiddenkey can still be focused from the manager.I've also installed the patched package on my machine and tried it by hand.
