Show dag run note in UI

[Veldhoen]

Description

It's possible to add a note to a dag run and task instances. But it's not apparent from the UI (in Airflow 3) that there is a note.

• In the grid view, there would be a small icon on top of the dag/task bloc in Airflow 2
• Moreover, in the dag runs tab, it would be very helpful to be able to see the (partial) content of the note

Use case/motivation

I often go over failed dag runs to rety them. However, some dag runs fail for a good reason, making it useless to retry them. I tend to annotate those dag runs with a note. It's quite usefull to see what runs were annotated (and why), so that I can see from the list of dag runs or from the grid view which ones I already examined.

Actually the same problem was also appearing in my view and therefore for the UI in Airflow 3.1 therefore I made the change in #51764 which created a bit of debate about how layout might look to display a note. As discussion is ongoing and not all were happy it is reverted at the moment in #53635

If you have a good idea for the layout, ideas are welcome.

Great to know people are already working on this! I support the idea of making notes more prominent, although they shouldn't take up the entire view of course. I'm not sure I can add anything useful to the discussion about the design.

My second suggestion aims at the dag runs table, which I don't think has been mentioned elsewhere. I think it would be nice to have an extra column in the table with the (cropped) note. You might even filter/sort by (un)availability of a note. Like here:
