Add a Notepad widget to default sidebar #2843

I just set up a simple notepad widget in my sidebar and honestly it's been great — just a sticky note icon that opens a ~/wave-notes.md in the preview editor. Super quick to jot down notes without leaving Wave.

The config is dead simple, just dropped this in widgets.json:

{
  "notepad": {
    "icon": "fa-solid fa-note-sticky",
    "label": "Notepad",
    "color": "#f59e0b",
    "description": "Quick notes",
    "display:order": 1,
    "blockdef": {
      "meta": {
        "view": "preview",
        "file": "~/wave-notes.md"
      }
    }
  }
}

Wave already has the full Monaco editor built in, so this just works out of the box. Would be cool if this shipped as a default widget — feels like one of those things where once you have it you wonder how you lived without it.

Soon we'll never have to leave Wave for anything. It's the new AOL!
