Keep compact note tiles at their chosen size

 All notable changes to ComfyUI-AusBoss are documented here.
 
-## 2.21.2 - 2026-11-07
+## Unreleased
 
-- **H3 Prompt Writer reads a plain swap sentence.** "Replace the man in the red
-  shirt with @1", "Swap the woman for @1" and similar phrasings now name only the
-  person who goes, instead of putting the whole sentence into the prompt.
-- **A swapped-in person is there from the first frame.** Swaps with a picture
-  always ask for the replacement throughout, with no transition or morph.
-- **A text model on H3 Prompt Writer's `clip` input writes the `@1 looks like`
-  line in a swap.** It describes the person's hair and face from the picture
-  when no line is typed. Without a model on `clip`, nothing changes.
-- **Workflow Note tiles start compact in the classic canvas again.** A leftover
-  image preview filed under the node's id made the classic canvas grow a new
-  tile to hold the picture; notes now stand that preview down.
 - **Colored link buttons and pop-out notes keep their tile layout when shared.**
   Callout Tile and Workflow Note Tile save as distinct node types, so an older
   install can report what is missing. Tiles have larger editors and visible
