feat(inject): label the record kind on each auto-inject menu line

Every injected hit rendered identically, so a recorded snippet was
indistinguishable from a stray dev-log in the one place prior art most
needs to stand out. Each line now carries its kind — [snippet],
[process], [task], [issue], [note] — and the header says "records"
rather than "notes", which it can no longer claim.

Task-ness wins over note_type in the marker: "there's an open issue
about this" is the more useful thing to know at a glance.

Still title-first: the marker is metadata already on the ORM object,
so no extra query and no bodies (#2084).
