Root Cause: The frontend NoteCard component was already designed to display a folder icon when `note.folderId` exists. However, the Note schema did not contain `folderId` or `folderName`, so this value was always undefined. Changes: * Added `folderId` and `folderName` fields to the Note schema * Updated folder controller logic to stamp these fields when a note is added to a folder * Cleared these fields when a note is removed from a folder Result: Notes inside folders now correctly display the folder icon on the note card, while normal notes do not. Tested: * Adding note to folder -> icon appears * Removing note from folder -> icon disappears * Normal notes remain unchanged

The MongoDB URI is no longer hardcoded in the repository.
All database connections now use environment variables, improving security and configuration management.
