📄 Description

Summary

I listed every query parameter the frontend reads with searchParams.get and compared it with the URL Parameters page. Three user-facing ones were missing and now have a table row and a section each:

submit: with q, submit=false puts the text in the message input without sending it. The q section also says so, since it currently promises auto-submit with no way out.
settings: opens the settings dialog on a tab and strips itself from the URL. The section lists the user tab ids and the admin: tab ids, and notes that a non-admin following an admin: link lands on General.
title and content on the Notes pages prefill a new note, with today's date as the default title.

The parameters the app reads for its own purposes (error, redirect, state, form, sync, and id on the editor pages) stay undocumented on purpose.

None.

Checklist

I have reviewed the relevant documentation and matched the existing style.
This PR meets Open WebUI's contribution standards: it is accurate, relevant to users, narrowly scoped, maintainable, and not promotional content, advertising, lead generation, SEO placement, or a request to list a product, service, provider, integration, gateway, tool, or company primarily for visibility.

Notes for reviewers

Sources on dev: Chat.svelte (the q and submit handling), openSettingsFromUrl in src/routes/(app)/+layout.svelte with the tab ids from SettingsModal.svelte, and the two Notes routes.
