Subject: [PATCH] [AI] Fix transaction row drag breaking inline text edits
 (#7572)

* [AI] fix: disable transaction row drag while editing input cells

Row-level useDrag competed with notes/payee/amount fields (GH #7567).
Disable reorder drag when the row is in edit mode except for select/cleared columns.

* Add release notes
